Rethinking art and disability
The impression that was given by these individuals was that despite their HIV diagnosis, they were getting on with their lives. So I was somewhat confused as to why the Bambanani members saw themselves as 'disabled'. And this was the first point that came up in the discussion when Gadsden informed us that Nondumiso wasn't even aware that she had a disability until she had been informed by the artist.

Tokyo : A Japanese engineer, who helped build crippled Fukushima nuclear reactor No. 4, has warned Taiwan of the inherently unstable nature of nuclear power.
Mitsuhiko Tanaka said that the 1986 Chernobyl disaster changed his views on nuclear power, and agreed that nuclear accidents are bound to happen someday or the other, without anybody knowing when its going to occur, the Japan Times reports.
He urged Taiwan's government to make information publicly accessible, hoping that they won't repeat the same mistake.

ACCESS TO EMERGENCY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES AND SHELTER (Intro 120A) The law adds a new section to the Administrative Code which specifically prescribes that domestic violence victims who apply for emergency shelter or related services cannot be denied such shelter or services solely based on the lack of documentary evidence of the incidence of domestic violence. It also defines family members as those who are not only related by blood, but also as those who exist in non-traditional relationships, whether they share a child and are unmarried or have lived together.

|Soygenol 100
|The Truth about soygenol
|The Miracle Body Program - Shakes, Toners, and Snacks
|The Truth about the products
In Chinese, the word for soybean is ta-tou, which translates, "greater
bean" (Simmons 1991). Many Americans who are trying to make changes
in their health are beginning to agree with this definition. Soybeans are
becoming a legume of the future.
Scientific research has discovered that adding soy foods to your diet can dramatically improve your health (http://www.ncw.net/alpha/pam5.html). People that incorporate soybeans and soy products into their diet have been shown to live healthier lives. The substitution of soy proteins for animal proteins in the diet can have dramatic affects on a person's health, though many Americans have not yet discovered the use of soy in the diet. The most common form of soy protein is derived from "white flakes," that are made by dehulling, flaking, and defatting soybeans by hexane extraction. These flakes contain 50-54% protein, and these flakes can be extracted to produce soy concentrates containing 65-70% protein (Lusas, l995).
Soybeans, which were originally brought to the United States by Chinese
immigrants, were discovered by Dr. John Henry Kellogg, who first used the
soybean to develop a substitute for the traditional bacon and egg breakfast.
He was also the first to develop meat substitutes and soymilk made from
soybeans (http://www.vrp.com/soy.htm).
The soybean is naturally rich in phosphatidycholine, which is an important
component of the cell membranes and also an efficient delivery system of
nutrients (http://www.eastcoast.com/freelife/product.htm).
Recently, the soybean has undergone a transformation from food to medicine
Dr. Earl Mindell's company, FreeLife, has produced a line of soy-based health supplements that combine the soybean and the Japanese Grape Seed. These products are composed of Dr. Mindell's homemade Ultra Soy Complexes as well as a variety of other vitamins and minerals. These soy-based supplements are advertised and marketed on the internet; designed to catch the eye of the health-conscious reader. Dr. Mindell has hundreds of advertisements, and even his own home page. The first thought that comes to mind when reading these advertisements is, "Why should I believe this and switch my diet to a soy-based diet?" While the effects of Dr. Mindell's products may be slightly exaggerated, there may actually be more to a soy diet than many Americans would like to admit. Dr. Mindell's soy products must each be examined separately in order to discern the true effects of the product on a person's diet.
Dr. Mindell markets dietary supplements that are designed to incorporate soy into the diet. Soygenol 100, one of Dr. Mindell's dietary supplements, contains extracts from Chinese Green Tea, and helps to maximize nutrient availability (http://www.new.net/alpha/pam4.htmi). it is made of the most beneficial part of the grape seed extract, proanthocyandins (http://www.new.net.alpha/pam4.htmi). Each tablet of Soygenol 100 contains strands of unique fiber from the soybean called polysaccharides. Upon ingesting the tablet, the fiber strands supposedly act like a sponge, absorbing water into the tablet to speed disintegration, helping to maximize nutrient availability (http://www.eastcoast.com/freelife/product.htm). Soygenol 100 also works to enhance the activity of vitamins C and E.
Back to the top
While soy proteins themselves have the properties of water and fat absorption, emulsification, aeration, and imparting of texture (Lusas 1995), there is no conclusive evidence that soy products actually aid maximizing nutrient availability. Most soy proteins are globulins, whose solubility and dissociation is greatly affected by the pH and salt content of the solution. These proteins can play a role in their performance where salts and acids are present (Lusas 1995). Scientific research suggests that this "sponge action" of the polysaccharides may occur only as fast as other metabolic processes.
FreeLife also produces a variety of dietary health supplements that contain Dr. Mindell's Ultra Soy complexes. These soy products are part of a complete fat loss, body toning, and energy enhancement program, called the Soy Miracle Ultimate Body Program (http://www.new.net/alpha/pam2.html). Soy Delicious!, Dr. Mindell's high-carbohydrate, super energy bar, contains Ultra Soy Complex 4. This complex is made of genisten and other soy isoflavones and supposedly delivers the nutrient equivalent of a well-balanced, low-fat meal (http://www.new.net/alpha/pam5.html). Soy Delicious! contains its patented complex carbohydrate Dahlulin, which delivers a lasting source of energy and maintains stable blood sugar so that the customer is satisfied and energized until his next meal.
The Soy Miracle Ultimate Body Toner contains the ingredients Panax Ginseng,
lipotropics, energy factors, herbal activators, and Dr. Mindell's Ultra
Soy Complex 2 (http://www.eastcoast.com/freelife/product.htm).
The tablet is taken two times a day with meals or before exercising, to
enhance fat-burning. This compound is supposedly a safe way to avoid the
harsh chemicals found in other body toning processes.
The cornerstone of Dr. Mindell's Soy Miracle Ultimate Body Program is
the fat-free Ultimate Shake. This complex includes eight of the most powerful
soy foods combined to create a nutritional shake. These soy foods include
soy protein isolate, soy fiber, soy lecithin, tofu powder, soy flour, tamari
powder, miso powder, and mixed soy phytosterols. Other ingredients include
Siberian Ginsengs and Spanish Bee Pollen, for better absorption. This shake
can be used as a meal replacement or a healthy snack (http://www.eastcoast.com/freelife/product.htm).
Dr. Mindell's products, while designed to inform the public about soy products and supplements, contain many exaggerations about fat-burning. And I am sure that many of his customers must question the inclusion of ingredients such as the unknown "herbal activators" and the "complexes" that he has invented. What other ingredients are in these complexes? In a society such as the one we live in, many people are convinced that finding different shakes or food additives may produce better results in their weight loss plans. While soy products can change a person's health, there is also no conclusive evidence that soy supplements can produce a complete fat loss and body toning program. Like any supplement, soy can not be truly effective without incorporating other aspects of a healthy lifestyle, such as exercise and fat reduction. One meal or shake that includes soy is worthless without the exercise that is required to increase metabolism (Goldberg 1995).Back to the top
There are many true benefits to a diet or health regimen that includes soy. Soy foods have been shown to slow the growth of cancers and lower cholesterol. These are the real reasons why a person should incorporate soy products into their diets. The prevention of cancer or cardiovascular diseases is much more of a long-term concern than simple fat-burning to lose weight and look good, which is what Dr. Mindell advertises. While it is true that soy products can absorb three to four times their weight in water (which may seem like a source of weight loss), there is actually no proof that soy can cause fat loss or a change in total body mass (Lusas 1995).
It has been shown that diets rich in legumes and fiber decrease cancer
risk relative to those diets which emphasize animal products (Saio 1990).
Asians, who consume 20-50 times more soy per capita than Americans, have
lower incidence and death rates from breast and prostate cancer (Severson,
1989). In an experiment undertaken by the School of Health Services and
Research Center of Comprehensive Medicine in Okinawa, Japan, the effects
of soy on cancer were studied by scientists by an experiment done on rats
(Limtrakul 1993). In this study the effect of soybean milk protein on mouse
skin was studied. Mice were given a diet supplemented with either the soybean
milk protein (or SMP) or the soybean protein isolate (SPI) and after four
weeks the mice were shaved and a tumor was applied. After twenty weeks
on the treatment, the percentage of tumor-bearing mice and the volume of
tumor was lower in the mice that had been on the SMP diet as opposed to
the mice on the SPI diet (Limtrakui 1993).
Recently German researchers have also isolated a compound in soybeans
called genistein that blocks angiogenesis, the growth of blood vessels
that feed tumors(Peterson 1995). Genistein also inhibits tyrosine protein
kinase, an enzyme produced by mutant genes that causes normal cells to
become cancerous. Soybeans are also a rich source of phytates, which enhance
the immune system, including natural killer cell activity, which is the
body's first line of defense against cancer (http://devel.newhope.com/hez/eat/joy.html).
Genistein also inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species which
may lead to tissue damage and DNA modification (Peterson 1995).
There is also much proof that soy protein aids in lowering blood cholesterol. Replacing animal protein by soy protein has been shown to produce significant reductions in total blood cholesterol. Vegetable proteins, mostly soy proteins, reduce plasma cholesterol, particularly when cholesterol is elevated in a diet, either by high cholesterol intake, or by synthetic diets (Sirtori 1995) . In other words, the higher a person' s cholesterol level is, the more effective soy additives and soy products can be in lowering blood cholesterol levels. The soybean diet is currently the most potent dietary tool for treating hypercholesterolemia (Sirtori 598). Studies have been undertaken in which patients with elevated cholesterolemia, or cholesterol above 78mmol/L show a favorable response to the substitution of animal proteins with vegetable protein from soybeans. The initial study showed a 20-22% reduction in total cholesterol with this substitution (Sirtori 1995).
The addition of soy supplements to a diet may also be the first step in the treatment of hyperlipidemia (Goldberg 1995). The use of soy protein may allow target lipid concentrations to be reached without the use of drugs. Soy incorporated into a low-fat diet is also shown to reduce cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations (Goldberg 1995). Soybeans are rich in other essential nutrients including calcium, zinc, iron, and many of the B vitamins (http://devel.newhope.com.hez/eat/joy.html).Back to the top
Soy products may not be the answer to many health-conscious Americans' problems with weight loss, body toning, or suppressing appetite, but numerous legitimate studies have proved that the incorporation of soy products into the diet and the substitution of soy proteins for animal proteins will in fact lead to a healthier life. Throughout all of the research that has been done about soy, it is very uncommon to find negative feedback about the supplement. Soy has been proven to be a healthy substitute, and it is not at all harmful.

Like really? ....How do you measure success and failure? People put so much pressure on themselves and they forget that they already succeeded! Everyday, that they are given the opportunity to live life is a success. Everyday that they are given the opportunity to do something good, is a success. Realizing this dosen't make them weak. Actually it is the complete opposite. It makes them stronger! Because they can now wake up and go to sleep knowing that regardless of what happens or happened, it was planned by God! And he never fails. So in other words... You will win, regardless. You don't have to be super religious to understand that. My failure will never come from not achieving CEO status, or a large bank account. My failure will never come from a title that society tells me that I should strive for. My failure will never come from materialistic things I don't have. But what I will tell you is that my success will come from all the love that was given to me.
I wrote this because I hope and pray that people will take time to think about success and failure and what role you want it to play in your life. Before I use to be the one that believed it was all or nothing. I use to feel like, if I don't become a millionaire I will be a complete failure. If my business isn't successful, I will be a complete failure. It was so much pressure that it was starting to consume me. I was becoming a slave to the job of trying to achieve what seemed unobtainable. Now things are different for me because I now know where true success comes from. Take time and think about that.

That's why Buddhists call it the wheel of life and death,
the wheel of time.
It moves like a wheel: birth is followed by death,

If you can watch just for a few days,
you will see a pattern emerging, a wheel pattern.
One day, a fine morning, you are feeling so good and so happy,
and another day you are so dull,
so dead that you start thinking of committing suicide.
And just the other day you were so full of life,
so blissful that you were feeling thankful to God,
that you were in a mood of deep gratefulness,
and today there is great complaint
and you don't see the point why one should go on living...
And it goes on and on, but you don't see the pattern.
Once you see the pattern, you can get out of it.

By Bill Tibbs: Former world champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero, 31-2-1 (18), returned to the ring this past Saturday night to face International Boxing Federation (IBF) number seven/World Boxing Council (WBC) number 13-rated welterweight Yoshihiro Kamegai, 24-2-1 (21), on Showtime. The two met at the StubHub Center in Carson, California and waged war for 12 rounds in what could be a "Fight of the Year" candidate. Guerrero came away with the win in his first fight since losing a one-sided 12-round unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May of last year in Las Vegas, Nevada.
While Floyd schooled "The Ghost" in their initial outing, Robert feels that if he can put some wins together, he might get another shot at the pound-for-pound king before he retires at the end of his current Showtime contract. While it is hard to imagine Guerrero getting another shot at Mayweather, anything is possible. When opponents' names come up for Floyd's next assignment, there is talk of Amir Khan, undefeated Philly tough guy Danny Garcia or the ever-popular water cooler chatter of Floyd vs. Manny Pacquiao. While Guerrero showed heart and tenacity in going the distance the first time with "Money" Mayweather, there hasn't been a lot of talking in boxing about them doing a rerun. Despite that, Guerrero has stated in recent interviews that he "wants to get back in the ring and get back in the Mayweather picture."
While Floyd may or may not be a realistic option, there are other fights out there in the welterweight division that would make for an intriguing outing for fight fans and for the former IBF feather and super featherweight, World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) lightweight and WBC welterweight world champion. With hot young guns like IBF welterweight champion Shawn "Showtime" Porter, WBA interim welterweight champion Keith "One Time" Thurman, former champions like Khan, Marcos Maidana and established stars like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, all at the top of the 147-pound heap, there are no shortage of marquee fights for the Guerrero.
Mayweather is the golden ticket everyone wants to cash in on, especially as his time in the ring is apparently nearing an end. But Guerrero is in a talent-rich division that holds a ton of options for a former, multiple-division world champion in terms of match-ups. The win for the Gilroy, California resident on Saturday against Kamegai was the start of an interesting journey down a tough, welterweight road for "The Ghost." While he speaks of a desire to return to the ring against Floyd, if he takes a look around his division, he will see there a lot of great fights available besides "Money." And while he will certainly need time to heal and recover from a badly cut and swollen eye from Saturday's barnburner, the nuts-and-guts style he chose to bring to the table was nothing if not fan-friendly. After that display of grit and heart by both Guerrero and opponent Kamegai, both their phones will be ringing again. The options and opportunities all started with a fabulous battle on Saturday night.

The three little pigs were all searching for waterfront property in Prince Edward County. They were somewhat disenchanted with the housing market. The listings were slim and none of the pigs were interested in a generic split level or ranch-style home. Some listings were too close to the Loyalist (traffic), while others were total gut jobs.
Others were topping the million dollar mark and the three little pigs didn't want to be house poor. They wanted balance, simplicity and a home that would be a sanctuary, not a money pit. They all decided to design and build their own homes after spending endless bleary-eyed nights scrolling through resale homes on realtor.ca.
The first little pig had recently spent some time solo, kayaking the northern rivers of the Yukon. She lived on a commune for a while in Oregon and fancied herself a garden where she could grow her own medicinal teas, garlic, heirloom tomatoes and candy cane beets. She wanted to build sustainably, and after staying at the Owl's Nest Bed and Breakfast in Prince Edward County, she became obsessed with hay bale construction.
The straw and plaster would provide serious insulation for Canadian winters. She'd ditch energy bills for good and would be making a sound, renewable choice in straw. Finally, she'd be able to live off the grid with a passive solar design, just like the one she talked about with that South African Airstream owner at the Burning Man Festival five years ago. Life would become affordable again, and instead of sticking it out at a lackluster ad copy job in the city, she could focus on her creative writing (for a wildly popular vegan magazine) and do some glass blowing on the side.
She met a man with a load of straw in Hillier and bought the last of his stock despite his naysayer attitude. He scoffed at her hay bale design. Though he said she was being pig-headed (which was true in many senses) she bought the straw and set about building the house in Bloomfield with a few members of her hockey team who were willing to work for beer.
Weeks later there was a knock at her door. She had advertised her hay bale home on Airbnb for $108 a night (including a refried black bean breakfast burrito with heirloom tomato salsa). Perhaps someone was in the area and needed a last-minute booking? She was just steeping some Sleepytime tea, burning her signature patchouli incense and reading a self-help book by Brene Brown about vulnerability.
"Little Pig, little pig, let me come in."
She knew it was the wolf. He had been all over the Yahoo News headlines as of late.
She replied with a chuckle, "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin." Piggy just had electrolysis at the local spa and no longer had to worry about that pesky hair on her chin. She'd read a lot about this wolf guy in her social media circles. He was the tour de force behind "Pigging Out: Bringing Home the Bacon," a blog about everything bacon that had 1.6 million followers. The local pig community was not thrilled. She was a little envious of the wolf's writing prowess and online success without banner ads.
The wolf at the door was as persistent as an ex-girlfriend though. He huffed and puffed, took a swig of Red Bull and blew the house in. And he gobbled up the little pig with freelancing, glassblowing dreams. He even polished off her bag of stale sweet potato chips that he found beside her paperback and still-steeping tea.
The second little pig met a man with a load of barn board just outside of Carrying Place. This pig knew how barn board was trending. He watched a lot of HGTV and was a big fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper and their whitewashed shiplap designs. Pig figured he could do the same and it would be a neat re-purposing story. The wood was from a Mennonite barn in St. Jacobs close to the farmhouse where he used to buy brown eggs and maple syrup. Pig liked to keep it local and even bought some extra barn board to build a cute chicken coop on the property just like his friends in Uxbridge had on their Caberneigh Farms property.
He always wanted to have a few Plymouth Rock Barred cockerels. Soon he could sell his own eggs at the roadside, and maybe some honey too.
The man selling the barn board was skeptical and told the pig to think twice about the material. The little pig was perturbed but not misdirected. He even bought some old pallets off the guy to replicate some outdoor furniture he'd seen on etsy. He paid for the wood, took a selfie with the load and went to work building the house with the help of his Pinterest board where he pinned houzz and Restoration Hardware designs. He facebooked, tweeted, Instagrammed and blogged the heck out of the barn board house.
Pig had just opened a growler of Holy Smoke Scotch Ale from Church Key Brewing Company when the stupid wolf aggressively knocked on his barn board door. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."
If it wasn't the telemarketers, hounding about cleaning his ducts or Rogers to upgrade his internet and cable package, it was the wolf of Wall Street.
The pig poured a perfect pint and re-heated a bowl of butter chicken that he'd made the night before. The wolf knocked again, clattering Pig's cool new door knocker nearly off its hinge. Pig refused to open the door. "Not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin." This little pig just landed gainful employment as a bar hop at the Drake Devonshire Hotel in Wellington. A hipster beard was a pre-requisite and this wolf wouldn't be having an inch of it. Besides, it was the Stanley Cup playoffs too. He needed the beard, superstitiously.
The wolf was on a bender and bitchy about a nasty break-up that left him in a crappy rental on the east side. He lost a lot in the relationship when his wife saw his text messages, or, "sexting" as she called it, with the sly fox from the coffee shop in Picton.
"I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," the wolf promised.
The pig laughed it off. He had found some hurricane-proof R value 5 windows and the barn board came from a barn that had withstood everything from carpenter ants to tornadoes for 100 years.
But, the wolf took a long drag on the last of his medicinal marijuana joint (for vertigo), stubbed it out and then huffed and puffed and wheezed and blew the house in. And he gobbled up the little pig with some of the just nicely heated spicy butter chicken and Naan bread warm from the oven.
Now, the third pig and her partner (they had just met online through Tinder, but, things were progressing quickly. It was already their third date after all and they wanted to build a place of their own and stop paying someone else's mortgage). The same-sex couple met a woman with a load of limestone and granite. "These stones will make for a remarkably sturdy cottage," said the woman. Pig agreed. She had friends in West Galt who lived in a 150-year-old stone home for a few years and knew that they were invincible. She bought the stones and loaded them into their SUV and set about building the stone house with a sketch that the pig's partner had drawn when she learned the art of sheep shearing in Ireland the previous spring. It was a small (7,000-square-foot) castle in Doolin, but, they would simply scale it down a little (700-square-feet) and build an outdoor pizza oven on the west side.
"Nice and solid," the couple remarked. It took a long time, carefully mixing the mortar and integrating the stained glass church windows they found at an auction. Adding the fireplace and pizza oven was easy after that.
They had just unloaded the U-haul and their French bulldog, Mr. Knuckles, when they noticed the wolf loitering about. The wolf was still hungry and asked the kind pig couple to let him in. The pig couple weren't naïve.
The couple actually hated unannounced company. "Not by the hairs of our chinny chin chin." They turned on their SmartTV and started scrolling through Netflix. The pigs were well aware of this wolf on the prowl. He updated his Facebook status more frequently than a Kardashian. They knew he was looking for fodder for his next Pigging Out post.
The wolf promised to huff and puff as per usual, wondering how Woody Allen would re-write his tired lines. Who would he cast to play the wolf in celluloid? He hoped Jake Gyllenhaal.
The pigs sensed that the wolf was quite serious and asked him not to huff and puff on their new build. "We want this to be a heritage home one day!"
The wolf had earbuds in and couldn't hear them. His barista girlfriend had created a new playlist for his iPod. Of course it included "What did the fox say?" by Ylvis. The song was like a cheese grater on his nerve endings.
The wolf huffed. Puffed. Nothing. The house stood firm as Pamela Anderson's breasts. He blew again. It didn't budge, just like Trump's toupee in a gale force wind.
"I have another tactic," the wolf threatened. He hummed along to the Of Monsters and Men track. He really loved that song, "Dirty Paws" and maybe after all this huffing and puffing was done, he'd look on expedia for cheap flights to Iceland. He owed the foxy girlfriend a trip, for all the drama of the affair and his ex-wife's ranting in the coffee shop when she discovered the sexting messages. She went ballistic and poured a latte in the sunroof of his girlfriend's new Fiat. But, back to the task at hand the wolf reminded himself.
He asked the pigs if they'd like to go truffle hunting. Pigs were good at that and could never resist a good truffle hunt. However, the pigs noticed that Carol was now on Netflix and they couldn't resist. They had a thing for Cate Blanchett.
They told the wolf they were busy, they wanted to watch Carol. "It's a movie of glances," pig told the wolf. "That's what the CBC said."
"Tomorrow then?"
The pigs agreed. The wolf would come around nine in the morning, which gave them ample time to snuggle and have Americanos in bed. They knew what the wolf was up to. Duh.
The pigs got up earlier—at six even. They sniffed out a dozen truffles and dashed back home on their Honda Ruckus. When the wolf arrived at nine, the pot of water was already at a boil.
"We couldn't wait," the pigs said.
The wolf was a bit disappointed, but accepted a cup of French press. "The coffee is from a women's collective in the Congo," they told him.
The wolf was impressed. It was better than Starbucks, no question. "Shall we go pick some dandelions to make wine to enjoy with the truffles?"
The pigs said they were too busy, tending to the boiling truffles. "How about tomorrow morning, before the dew burns off. I have to boil down the truffles first before I can infuse the oil to make the black truffle mac and cheese."
The wolf was all over it. "Okay, I understand. Yes, let's say six a.m. for dandelion foraging."
The next morning the pigs were up at five and went dandelion picking with Mr. Knuckles, not the scheming wolf.
The wolf showed up early though, and had them cornered in the meadow. The pigs pointed behind the lilac bushes and said they had just seen a fox to distract him. They'd heard about the coffee shop affair, mention of his foxy barista would rattle his nerves. The pigs and Mr. Knuckles ran towards their moped and sped home in a cloud of dust.
The wolf was totally miffed now. He thought for sure he could have beat them in a foot race and gobbled them up with a few dashes of Marie Sharpe's grapefruit hot sauce that he picked up in Belize. The fox thing did throw him off. He should have known his girlfriend would already be at work, baking pain de chocolat and pistachio macaroons.
The wolf took an Uber cab to the pig's stone house and climbed the roof despite his vertigo and lack of medicinal marijuana at hand. He could smell that fragrant Congolese coffee from the women's collective wafting up the pig's chimney. He made a mental note to google a local location where he could purchase it, without telling his girlfriend.
"I've been nice long enough, pigs. I've followed you on Twitter and even sent you a friendship request on Facebook. Which you never replied to, but, no matter. I'm coming down the chimney to eat you both right now."
When the little pigs heard this, they put a big iron pot in their fireplace and quickly stoked the fire with those Instaflame logs that are made out of sawdust and stuff. "You'll be delicious with a little hot sauce and a bit of whiskey."
No truer words were said. Except the wolf came down the chimney and fell into the big iron pot boiling away with rosemary, bay leaves and Meyer lemons. The pigs ate the wolf with truffle oil mac and cheese and poached quail eggs and candied his whiskers for dessert. They made a lovely wolf pate with elderberries and hickory ribs in a root beer and brown sugar glaze. It was so good they raided the fridge at midnight, and wolfed down the wolf while watching Modern Family, semi-sauced on their potent dandelion wine. They'd have wolf burgers with frites for lunch with some brie and crab apple compote.
"And maybe a little bacon," the girlfriend smirked. Even though it was wrong on several levels, they had to agree with the wolf, bacon was delicious. They couldn't wait to post their snout-to-tail wolf recipes on his Pigging Out blog. Wouldn't that be the kicker?
The pig's girlfriend topped up their wine glasses and raised hers. "To stone houses," the pigs cheered. Mr. Knuckles sighed, content with his pile of rib bones and new wolf-fur hooded jacket for inclement weather that he could wear with his tiny Hunter boots.

Vietnam veteran's legacy: $2.8M to Montevideo Veterans Home
MONTEVIDEO –- Steve Williams did not receive a big welcome home after he returned from his service in the Vietnam War, but his legacy will be to provide a home where other veterans will know their service is appreciated.
His surviving family members contributed $2.8 million from his estate trust fund to the Montevideo Veterans Home project. The announcement was made Wednesday, Dec. 5, at a celebration at the American Legion in Montevideo. It's the largest gift ever to a Minnesota veterans home, according to Commissioner Larry Shellito of the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs. Along with a thank you to the Williams family, Shellito delivered a proclamation from Gov. Mark Dayton declaring Wednesday as "Steve Williams Day" in recognition of the gift.
Hundreds of people, many of them veterans, joined with elected officials and former colleagues of Williams from Hormel to applaud the family.
"They did not receive a welcome home. They came home to protests,'' said Jim Williams, speaking about his late brother and other Vietnam veterans like him. Williams said his brother's legacy now is that of protecting his brother veterans and his service to country.
The donation brought the local community's donation to the veterans home project to $7.4 million, along with $9.4 million approved by the Legislature in bond funds for the project. If Congress approves funding for the project, federal matching dollars could total $31.5 million, with essentially a two-to-one ratio of federal funds to local and state monies, according to the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs.
Montevideo is planning to build a 72-bed facility. Bemidji and Preston also obtained state funds to build veterans home to complement the five currently operating in the state.
Steve Williams died unexpectedly at age 70 on March 14, 2018, in Nevada, where he was living. A 1966 graduate of Clarkfield High School, he served in the Army in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam during 1968-69. After graduating in marketing from Southwest State University in Marshall, he began a 30-year career in sales with Hormel. He was briefly married and had no children. Jim Williams said his brother had a successful career with Hormel, was frugal and invested wisely. His estate trust is valued at $14.5 million.
Jim Williams had told his brother about the Montevideo Veterans Home project over a year ago while his brother was putting together the trust fund. He said his brother was excited about it. He had already listed a number of veterans organizations as beneficiaries when he unexpectedly died. The organizations agreed to allocate a portion of their funds to the Montevideo Veterans Home.
Design work on the Montevideo home is underway, with hope that a groundbreaking can be held in autumn 2019.
"We are not across the finish line yet,'' said Douglas Hughes, deputy commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs. He said Congress must yet allocate funds for the veterans homes.
Hughes said he is hopeful. He believes Minnesota has well-prepared plans that will win funding support.
"We're gonna make this happen,'' said U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson to the crowd.
Montevideo has campaigned for 11 years to obtain state funding for a veterans home. Marv Garbe, Montevideo City Council president, and Angie Steinbach, interim city manager, helped lead that effort. Both told the audience Wednesday that it was the continued support of so many community members through those years who made success possible.
"It's now a reality because of each one of you who supported the project,'' Steinbach said. "It's what our veterans need and what they deserve.''
The home will be built in Montevideo on land donated by the city. It will create the equivalent of 110 full-time jobs. It will likely employ over 140 full- and part-time workers, according to Hughes.
The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs is already working with educational facilities in the area to make possible career training opportunities for prospective workers. Finding health care workers is difficult across the state, Hughes said.
"We know this is going to be our greatest challenge,'' Hughes said in reference to finding workers for the three new veterans homes to be built in the state.

So says Viraphone Viravong, director general of the Laos energy and mines department.
Jonathan Watts reports in a Guardian article that Laos has sought regional approval for it's first major hydropower development on its stretch of the mighty Mekong River.
Yet, this energy won't provide local (Laos) industry with cheap energy, on the contrary, 90 percent of it will be sold to the neighbouring countries of Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Watts explains that this move is part of a broader plan by the Laos Government to use more of its natural resources to generate finance. He continues:
According to Viravong, 20% of Laos' GDP will come from hydropower and mining by 2020, up from about 4% today."
Fair enough?
Yet, the complexities of growth, development and sustainability begin to reveal themselves with more information about the Mekong and the countries on its banks. For example, this dam is one of eleven proposed for the lower part of the Mekong. And, these aren't the first dams for the river either: China has already heavily dammed the upsteam section.
It isn't just conservation groups who are concerned with this mass damming program. Organisations like Oxfam, Manna Gum, and coalition group Save the Mekong are united with a shared concern for the impact that these dams will have on local residents, such as the numerous fishing communities whose livelihoods depend on the fish that traverse the waters.
But there is without a doubt an environmental aspect to this issue as well. Fish are going to be affected. Sedimentation is a concern.
Watts explains,
Four of the world's 10 biggest freshwater fish migrate up the Mekong to spawn. Among them is the Mekong giant catfish, which is the size of a bull shark, and the Mekong stingray, which can weigh up to 600kg."
When asked about the environmental impact, Viravong responded: "If we do it ourselves, only cheap energy from hydropower will do."
What does it mean for Australians to help our neighbours? What if our Government contributed to subsidising sustainable energy for developing countries like Laos? Do we have a responsibility for the fishing communities, and for the fish of the Mekong?

Many have been waiting to this big firmware update for Maemo 5 devices especially the N900.
PR1.2 is finally here and it brings along a lot of fixes and new additions which makes us love the N900 more.
As usual, the firmware can be obtained via Over The Air (OTA) from your phone. Just go to applications manager > updates and you will see it.
The download then begins. It's quite a large file.. about 113mb.. so WIFI connection is recommended.
The device updates itself to the new firmware without the need for us to do anything. Nice.
Here's the list of PR1.2 changelog:
* Longpress to enter numbers/symbols on the keyboard.
* A revamped virtual keyboard.
* The ability to rearrange icons, no 'more' button in the menu.
* Changes to the camera UI, and a night mode for both photos and video.
* Qt 4.6.2 is now pre-installed.
* Video in Skype and Google Talk.
* The web browser now features a button to activate the portrait mode and a few more option while in the portrait mode.
* The browser benchmark also seems to have shot up from 8687 to 10141 with this leaked release.
* USSD codes now work.
* Type to search for apps in the Application Manager.
* Another addition is an email widget as well for the desktop.
* Updates to the Ovi Maps application, but no voice navigation yet.
If you own an N900, please update the firmware now!Follow me on Twitter for more updates! View my personal blog too!
