I love this recipe. A few ingredients, fast, easy, and comes out great every time! My husband loves the flavour and I reserve a little extra sauce to brush on after cooking.
Chinese-Barbecued Pork Tenderloin

This is a really easy and very yummy recipe. I've made it several times; this last time I tripled the sauce, heated up the excess, and drizzled it over the sliced pork and a bed of udon noodles. Be sure to use a good hoisin sauce such as Koon Chun (which most every Asian grocery store carries, as do many regular groceries).
NLesser Posted: 01/29/10
Simple and tasty! I used the leftovers in a stir fry the next day.
evemarie Posted: 01/22/10
this was fantastic! very easy to prepare and tasted delicious! we served with steamed white rice and bok choy.

from personal taste I didn't like the flavor combination. a little disappointed given all the good reviews. won't be making again.

Following Femma has been eye opening and extremely helpful to my growth as a person. Her posts on vanity and self-care have made me somewhat able to embrace myself as a PERSON. Not as a hodgepodge of identities. And I realized today and yesterday while I was out shopping with a friend that some of her posts about tough femmes and being femme have allowed me to say "I'm pansexual, I like working with my hands and playing sports, I love baking, I swear like a sailor, but damn can I rock a pair of heels and a dress (as long as it has pockets for my cellphone)" So thanks to BAMFS like Femma am able to say "I have to get shit done today, I think I'll wear a dress, heels, and red lipstick" Knowing her on tumblr is an honor.

Cucumber Gazpacho
Cucumber Gazpacho with Lemon Verbena
We just opened up for lunch and we are fortunate enough to have done it in July when everything at the Union Square green market is vibrant and alive. Right now there are plenty of cucumbers, as well as an abundance of my favorite herb, lemon verbena. Lemon verbena is not typical in Mexican cooking but its fragrance is so compelling that we have been scrapping to find a place for it on the menu. I am happy that we finally did. Currently we are garnishing this soup very simply, with some crispy tortilla strips but we are contemplating using it as a unusual dressing for shrimp cocktail very soon.
Serves 4
3 each unpeeled garlic cloves
4 large cucumbers, peeled and roughly chopped
1 each jalapeño, stem cut off, quartered and deseeded
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons of mezcal
1 pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
10 each fresh lemon verbena leaves
1. Take the corn tortillas and cut them into thin strips about 2 inches long. Fry the tortilla strips in 350 degree F oil until crispy. Drain the tortillas on paper towels and season with salt. Set aside.
2. Take the garlic cloves and toast them in a dry skillet over a medium flame. The garlic will be blackened in spots and the garlic will be soft and aromatic. Allow the garlic to cool and then peel away its skin.
3. In a blender combine the toasted garlic, cucumbers, jalapeños, sherry vinegar, mezcal, salt, sugar, Mexican oregano and lemon verbena leaves. Blend the ingredients until very smooth and pass the gazpacho through a fine mesh strainer. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Allow the soup to chill for several hours before serving.
4. Garnish and embellish as you wish. That's what we always do.

Of all the players auditioning for a spot on the third line, one stands out in terms of his chances with the Bruins. That would be Jordan Caron, who has been shuttled between Boston and Providence and who might be facing his last, best chance to stick.
"We know what kind of player he is, he just has to go out there and do that," coach Claude Julien said.

CBlock, Carbohydrate Inhibitor, 90 Tablets, By Absolute Nutrition
Regular: $29.50You Save: 57%Online Sale Price: $12.78
Buy With Confidence
CBlock May Block Up To 35 Grams Per Meal!
CBlock is something every bodybuilder (or non-bodybuilder) can use! Even if you're not dieting for a show you can still use this product for enhancing definition. If you hate cutting way down on your carbs, you'll love CBlock.
C-Block's active ingredient is phaseolamine the processed extract of the Northern White Kidney Bean; an all natural compound.
The active ingredient is the trademarked "Trimplex" (phaseolus vulgaris) which has been shown to effectively prevent the body from absorbing up to 35 grams per meal of unwanted starches (about the size of a medium potato.) CBlock is safe. There have been no known reported side effects with this product. Order some right away and start losing body fat NOW!
C-Block also contains the compounds chromium and vanadium. Both of these compounds have substantial scientific evidence supporting their roles in the maintenance of stable blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar levels are critical for weight loss because chronically elevated insulin levels result in a dramatic repartitioning of macronutrients, (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) into adipose tissue (stored fats).
Deplete Fat Storage
By preventing the absorption of a portion of carbohydrates a person consumes each day, the carlories and sugar associated with those carbohydrates are eliminated from the diet which results in decreasing stored fats.
Carbohydrates that were once being stored as fats, are now being passed out of the body without any adverse side effects.

It looked like it did when the Tigers came home as Conference-USA champs: More than 100 fans gathered at Wilson Air donning their Memphis Tiger gear and proudly cheering support for their hometown team.
You wouldn't have known the Tigers were returning home after an NCAA loss.
After losing to Michigan State with a 22-point gap, Coach Josh Pastner says the team was obviously bummed. But that didn't stop the team and Pastner himself from stopping by each of the fans at the airport to sign autographs and take pictures.
"We got the best fans in the country; we got the absolute best fans in the country," says Pastner, "I really wanted to win this for the fans, but we're going to be back next year and we got a change to be really, really good next year."
Fans are also excited about next year. One fan told FOX 13, "I'm looking forward to next year. We got the number two recruiting class in the country and we got all this experience, so I tell you, we got a lot to look forward too."
Pastner says after a couple of weeks off, the team is going to get right back to work preparing for next season in the new league.
"Let me tell you this: The team like we played, Michigan State: We'll see those teams in our league next year in the new league and that will help us in the NCAA tournament, there's no doubt about it," says Pastner.

Jane, your name maybe shared by a million but you appear unique to me—as a person, a friend, a writer and as an inspiration. I can formulate the fanciest compliments in a whim but I guess they'll pale, feeble and bland even in describing how wonderful of a person you are. I guess, this is one of the few times where conventional adjectives, and figurative languages, juxtaposition, and idiomatic expressions won't do any justice. Anyhow, so I'll picture your prose in a paradox— subtle yet powerful. And you know, subtlety is a rarity these days. With writing meant to connect to the receiver as explicit and clear as possible, dubbed as gems are the ones who can do it. And another thing, there are many writers here and they're really talented but most of them (I'm no exception), have reservations. I read you because you seemed carefree; I need not delve no more, what I read is what I get. Ahh, this is what I get from following your 'Dear Future Husband' blog. Now I'm starting to regret it. Truly, continue creating, there's no one here who can write with the same beauty as you do, as if in a trance I find myself drawn to it. It's mesmerizing, and promising and riveting. Anyhow, I can continue writing like a madman here, but the length would just be fancy elaborations of how dear you are to me. I guess I have to stop. Hope to see your book/s soon in bookstore shelves. And I was right all along, it's a good choice to place you in the 16th. It's my favourite number, birthdate and I'm saving the best for last.
There's really something special about the way I can cyber-bully you with all the subtlety I mustered over the years. I don't know what to make out of it, if that's something to be happy about or it's a manifestation that my age has gotten into me. And the things I deemed humorous is something plain to you, and to everyone your age for that matter. But I guess I hate it, I hate that no matter how sarcastic I try to be you still think of it as something sweet. Let me put it this way, I try to be as careful as possible with friends, people in entirety. I have to have this imaginary fortress so people can't inflict damage in me the way they used to. "People come and go" that's one of the saddest truism of life, and this particular truism makes people appear black and white to me. But I'm just a human person, and I become attached, and I take risks because I need some growing up, too. So some people become an exception, and you're one of the exceptions. And with you being weird— your way of embracing sarcasm as compliment and all that, you appear colorful to me, vibrant even. Thank you for the friendship, thanks because you returned as abrupt as you left. Everyone loves you because you're good-natured, and the innate sweetness and the light-feel radiated by your aura even if you look sad in photographs. And speaking of sad, Third Eye Blind's song is playing in my head and I hope you can sing with me, "This is the story of a girl, who cries a river and drowned the whole world. While she looks so sad in photographs, I absolutely love her, when she smiles.
Lira, you know Paulo Coelho right? I mean he's okay. So to speak his book Veronika Decides to Die has been my favourite book of all time until J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye stole my heart away just last month and the book probably threw away the key. But I'll always be a fan, VDTD will always occupy a special space in my heart and a big chunk of my subconscious. The statement "Those who don't fit in social norms aren't the ones crazy, the ones who conform with the stupid standards of the world are." is forever be my guiding light, it's where my values are rooted and my so called principle formation. But the hipster in me is a traitor so Coelho, Mandino, Albom, maybe Murukami and other mainstream writers cannot suffice for my pseudo intellectual, philosophical craving and written cliché of read-and-question-your-very-existence. And you're one of the few here (others being Nicole, Asilentfirecraker and Unamed, Eatsleepmorsleep) who constantly satisfy my daily dosage of wisdom. Every other blah blahs and innuendos here are preparatory. It's not an easy job but you're pleasing me in such effortless manner. I believe your intelligence is something innate, something that complements to the innate non-conformist in me. You really are an amazing writer and I won't stop recommending you until your works are read by a wider audience, because you deserve no less than that.
Mad portrait skills plus fairly intricate writing style plus killer boots and eyebrows plus Ben Gibbard girl alter equals Banawe. Sweet juices, that's too much I shouldn't say another word. You know my good friend, I have this certain belief, albeit lacking universality, that I conjured growing up: Good photographers are good writers. People like Jim Paredes (Jimparedes), Regina Belmonte (Vivatregina), Hannah Reyes (TheYellowadventures) Kitty Gallannaugh (Heartfuldream) and Glenn Galendez (Pseudoperfection). Haha, what a feeble attempt to be funny. Nice effort, nice. I guess science can explain it, the more you worship aesthetics the more you gain a deeper understanding of things. And I guess it's one of the many things photography and writing share in common. I know that you know why I'm saying this. Yes, you're right, you are one of them. But I guess it's not something new to your ears. So accept my sincerest apologies. I'll always be one of the many who constantly claps in the background, and whatever brought you in the limelight, be it written or photographed, you deserve every inch of it. Cheers to the original gangster, cheers to you Nawe. I'll see you tomorrow right?
I'm the most terrific liar when I said I'll have a break on Tumblr, it's likely of you to think that way. But you know, there's this thing about me – being impulsive— it's menacing and I'm trying to throw it out my system. I thought I can do this and that, and I just go on and shout to the world that I'll, problem is that same impulse betrays me. I guess the only consistent thing about me is inconsistency. So I checked my blog, and post once every three of four days because I don't want my page dead. And there are really people that are irresistible, ones I'm used to talking to, and it just happens you're one of them. Man, why am I talking about myself when it's supposed to be you. Anyway, "I love your photos" I said it a million times but it doesn't make it any less true. I like their colours, how you contrast them with hazy feel—it's cool. Even the monochrome ones, the absence of hues can't stop me from clicking that heart in the upper right part. And, maybe I should be grateful that you seldom write, because everytime you do, you blow me. Like you did when you account that tragic part of your past. I hope we can do another collaboration, but this time please, don't overwhelm me with 'choice modalities', 'eclipsing', 'remorse' and 'rose buds' you juxtaposed with the human heart. I died, when you did that. I mean, who wouldn't?
I really can't imagine what kind of a 'writer' I am had fate didn't give me a chance to know you. Maybe I still have this juvenile rapture— constantly talking but never connecting, feigning to be in the brighter shade of rut. How do I sublime it, it's still rut. Where I am now, talking about my place in this writing community, I owe it all to you Sarah. I'm truly grateful you gave me a chance, featuring one of my writings in your blog and somehow welcoming me to that virtual confine where heart is the paramount inspiration to write. Where the soul is embedded with every haiku, poems, short stories and random rants. That soul that in mainstream writing, likely traded to what pleases and what sells. Thank you because that piece bridges my world to people like David, Cindy, Courtney, Amae, Melissa, Diane and others. And I can't think of Tumblr without them in it. Books helped, my environment helped but for the most part it's been this wonderful blogging world that allowed my growth as a writer. Regardless if I have what it takes to be considered one or not, it changed the way zero my demons, it changed the way I express them and the best perspective and tone to write complicated things that usually trouble the mind understandable in human language. Wherever you are right now, hope all is well. Thank you, thank you.
Konnichiwa, Naoko's happy alter. It's really the first thing that comes in mind when I think of you these days. It's kind cool though, who would've thought that it only needed some tweaking and stuff- a little make up, natural lighting glinting your killer long straight hair, a pseudo photoshoot of sorts, the perfect angle and Paula's (Threecheersforfiveyears) photography skills to capture a whole new you. You do look Japanesey there, really. Oh, by the way, my friend Watanabe aka Alex is anticipating to meet you, and I can't really blame him you know. The way I can't disagree with my cousin, you have this contagious smile, that cliché kind—which turns a bleak mood into a bright one, one conveying this angels-singing-in-the-background feel, one that makes anyone throw his worries away. But more to the seemingly perfect facade is someone genuine, sweet and witty. Kash, I hope you realize, you know, that you already shot the moon with you being beautiful (see, not pretty or less) and how it's mirrored in your blog. I got things to thank Murukami's Norwegian Wood for, after all. And yes, you can refuse to take flight 'Naoko', you will always be (my) the Little Bird.
Hello, Amae? I hope the sun is taking care of you and Sebastian is doing an excellent job pestering you, or eating your food so boredom won't have the chance to mess up with your consciousness. Zarah and her friend told me they really love the way you write, particularly because you remind them of John Green. I don't know how to react about it, basically because I haven't had the chance to read Green's books, but what I do know is you have what it takes to write bestsellers. I mean it, truly. You have this way of weaving your words that makes one anticipate for the next sentence. I find myself holding my breath because it's exhilarating and fascinating and well-captured and beautiful and that style is uniquely yours. The absence of commas, vivid imagery and wordplay like spring water that penetrates even the hardest rocks— I mean it's not close, but it is what it's like it seems. You're one of favourite writers here, and the extra u in colours, favourites etc (British English?) is one of the many things I learned from you. I'll always be a fan and nothing can change that—no amount of heartbreaks, intimidation and past's pallid iridescence— you will always be my Ekoh.
Hello, new found glory. I couldn't agree any less when you said that it's not only freckles that bind you and Zarah, it's also your writing skills. Liz, how I wished I write even a quarter as good as you do when I was at your age. I'm probably an official madman now, but I still want it anyhow. I supposed to do you a separate recommendation but since I'm writing this, might as well include you here. You belong here, so to speak. If there's one thing I love about summer, it's because you're writing tenfold more than you usually do, and it's crazy. What used to be momentary glimpses turned writing in full swing flaunting a bright mind. It's like engine in static going full throttle. Many have the ability to reflect on things that usually disturb the human mind, but a few has the ability to write them. That number can be filtered for fewer can express them vivid fashion. I hope I can muster the best word to describe how unique your writing style is, the way you animate your ideas through powerful imagery. What can I do, language is finite, or so it seems for me.
David, remember when I asked 'What Did Life Make you See?" when you wrote that 'Letter to My Future Daughter'? It's one of the best pieces I've read in Tumblr. And I know I don't monopolize the feeling (for the ones who read) and won't if people read it. I tried copying your style right there and then, but I gave up halfway, because I stink at it, big time I admit. What I subconsciously imitated though, is your honesty and heart in writing, regardless if it's written for future people or some fictional characters. I know, I'm not even close but I'm grateful for that lesson. And man, you have the best life, being a nomad and all that. This is sensed worlds, time zones apart, but I know you're a good teacher, and I'm captivated by just a mere thought of the scientists, lawyers and philosophers etc. that you'll produce. Poland will be mightier than she already is, because you altered something there. And yikes, settle soon, I'm excited to do your prenup shoot— will it still be a red-haired bride? I might steal her from you.
The way you zero the monsters that lurk in your head through writing is as intricate as the patterns of freckles painted on your cheeks. But hey, the way they put accent on your face is as beautiful as how your prose colours this dashboard. While I was struggling with my subject verb agreement and sentence construction at what 16? (and spelling at 26), you are polishing your figurative languages and idiomatic expressions. And while others at your age are writing about their first love you are fantasizing about your fictional alters and that so called parallel universe. Sweet heavens, parallel universe, that killed me. It's the biggest two words I came across in my entire existence. The possibility of it, it's comforting in a way yet it's daunting, too. Dear Zarah, you don't know how much I'm learning those vague yet intriguing concepts from you. Don't stop writing (though it's unlikely because writers will keep on writing until the faintest shade of sanity, sometimes even madness can't overshadow it). I know how much you adore John Green, maybe you were him in that 'parallel universe'. A recommendation in this odd letter-form is the least I can do to tell everyone how amazing of a writer you are. Not the phony kind of 'amazing', you know. That, amazing kind that even your prince charming with his dorky smile and graphic shirt or your Ryan Gosling cannot resist.
Truth be told, I was drawn into you because your name is the same with a music channel. After some conversations, I realized how lucky I am because we stumbled worlds, it's the same happiness I get dragging myself in front of tube, watch the daily countdown, and catch a favourite music video for three or five days in a row. It's the same amount of excitement that erases morning yawns and lazy days. Myx, I wish your schedule permits you to write more, I believe people will adore you for your writing finesse and the seemingly effortless wordplay you can verse in your prose. I, myself is anticipating for it. I don't know if I told you this; I know quite a lot of friends venturing film photography. They can make decent shot, and I particularly die for those grainy ones, with light leaks in them but yours are premium. They're beautiful, and I know it's not easy with film cameras and all had my own 'taking pictures' skills betrayed me. Oh, teach me scanography, by the way, pretty please.
Hello stranger. I don't know how to endear you on first name basis, I don't even know if it's a good idea writing about you. Good thing though, your URL is something cake to remember. You seemed so melancholic, but it's an exhilarating kind of melancholy (see Fanny Brawne at F22, 30")—and I find it interesting. Boy, I hope it doesn't sound creepy. I don't really know you that much, but I believe you're one of the lucky ones. I guess people won't have secondthoughts trading places with you. You know, possibility of studying architecture, the idyllic landscape, leafless trees perched with snow, the kind of shade your sun casts, the deserted train or was it bus on early morning commute, the dried leaves blanketing the paved alleys and your eye and skill to capture them in such a nostalgic feel. Dang, I'd kill for it. I've been hitting the backspace more than I should, because I'm fazed I might say the wrong things. I saw this candid picture of you facing your laptop I guess, sitting crossed leg like a monk and your head is like twisted for 180 degrees with your coy smile, amiable expression and your white hair—ugh, it's perfection unfolding in the scene. Boy please, I guess it does really sound creepy.

An environmental group is going to new heights in Charlotte in an effort to convince Duke Energy to use what it calls cleaner and cheaper energy.
On Thursday morning, a Greenpeace airship flight over Charlotte called on Duke Energy to transition from burning coal toward a clean energy future with banners reading "Duke: Don't Raise Rates for Dirty Energy" and "Cleaner is Cheaper."
The flight comes six months after six North Carolina activists were arrested for hanging a banner in front of the Duke Energy headquarters in Charlotte that read "No Dirty Rate Hikes."
The flight was part of a statewide tour by Greenpeace.
"It's time for Duke Energy to be a leader, which means investing in real solutions in the Carolinas like wind, solar and energy efficiency," said Charlottean Beth Henry. "I don't want my money paying for Duke's coal pollution."Henry was joined by a group of local activists, laying out letters on the grass in Veterans Park that read: "We want affordable rates & clean air. Be a leader Duke." "Duke Energy has made it clear that they will continue to raise rates here in Charlotte and across the state in order to keep dirty coal plants, like the four that surround our city, on life support," said Monica Embrey, North Carolina Organizer for Greenpeace and one of the activists arrested in front of the Duke headquarters. "Instead, Duke can and should invest in renewable energy, which Greenpeace has shown can save ratepayers $108 billion over 20 years."Along with the airship tour, last week Greenpeace released "Charting the Correction Course: A Clean Energy Pathway for Duke Energy."
Greenpeace says the report demonstrates how Duke Energy can invest in wind, solar and energy efficiency while saving themselves and North Carolina rate payers over $100 billion in twenty years. "Investing in renewable energy is a win, win," said Mike Johnson, report author and senior analyst for Greenpeace. "Duke and their ratepayers can save money while investing in the long term growth of the region and significantly reducing pollution all at the same time."

Thursday - 6/4/2009, 10:11pm EDT
In a coup for ConnellyWorks, the PR/marking/events company has hired Kelly Olson, the director of conferences and events for the American Council for Technology and the Industry Advisory Council.
Olsen is a superstar. Earlier, the DorobekInsider told you that she was recently recognized by ConventionSouth magazine, in its December issue, names Olson as one of the "Meeting Pros To Watch In '09."
A bit coup for ConnellyWorks Joanne Connelly. Congratulations to both of them.
Olsen's bio:
Kelly Olson joined ACT/IAC in 2004. As the Director of Conferences and Events, Kelly manages the overall strategy and operation of the organization's annual conferences, events, awards and professional development programs. Kelly also works with the ACT and IAC leadership and volunteers on a variety of special events that occur throughout the year, including golf and tennis tournaments and charitable fundraisers. Prior to joining ACT-IAC , Kelly worked as a Senior Program Manager for Professional and Scientific Associates, an event management, communications and technical assistance firm, where she lead a team in planning and executing conferences and events for several clients including the White House, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense and the Department of Justice. Kelly holds a BS in Public Administration from George Mason University and received her Certified Meeting Professional Designation (CMP) in August 2006.
UPDATE: ACT/IAC Executive Director Ken Allen sent out the following note to ACT/IAC members:
It is with regret that I announce the departure of Kelly Olson from ACT-IAC. Please join all of us in wishing Kelly a fond farewell and the best of sucess in a new business endeavor. Kelly will be leaving toward the end of the month to join ConnellyWorks, Inc, a marketing/PR/events firm.
Kelly has been with us for the last 5 years and has been responsible for managing our very successful events programs, most notably the MOCs and ELCs. We extend our sincere thanks for her exceptional professional contributions toward ACT-IAC's success and for passing along her many "secrets to success" to her talented staff.
We hope to see Kelly as she works with companies around the industry and wish her our very best.
Executive Director
American Council for Technology & Industry Advisory Council
EDITOR'S NOTE: Item was updated to correct the spelling of Olson's name.

Chicago Republican Party Files an Unprecedented 18 Candidates
The Chicago Republican Party announced today that it had filed petitions for 18 candidates in 16 districts for the state legislature. The last of the petitions were filed in Springfield early this afternoon.
Earlier this year, the Chicago GOP launched an unprecedented effort to recruit, train, and get signatures for Republican candidates across the city. 146 people responded to a marketing campaign looking for Republican candidates in some of the toughest districts in the country. Of those, 17 candidates made it through an "American Idol"-style vetting process and obtained the necessary signatures to get on the ballot.
"Many Chicago Democrats will face a Republican opponent for the first time in their careers," said Chicago GOP spokesman Chris Cleveland.
"We expect that Madigan will launch a full-on legal attack against our petitions," said Cleveland. "It's much cheaper to use lawyers to crush an opponent than to run an actual campaign."
"We're ready for him, though. We're prepared to mount a fully-funded legal defense of our candidates. And if he does succeed with knocking any of our candidates off the ballot, we're prepared to re-slate them in the spring."
The Chicago GOP will hold a press conference early next week to introduce the candidates. Full bios and other candidate information will be released later this week.
The candidates:
|District/ Race
|Antonio Mannings
|02nd Rep
|Collin Johnson
|05th Rep
|Tondalaya Nelson

|Myles Tobin

We need you to "walk the talk" this Saturday, October 19!
Chicago and Illinois are a mess! Tops in crime and unfunded pension obligations; in the toilet on jobs and fiscal sanity. It's very easy to look around and come to the conclusion that there's nothing we can do to make things better. If you think that, however, you're just plain wrong!
YOU can help bring about a new political culture in our State -- by making democracy work and insuring that our State's elected officials are accountable to the voters. HOW? By helping to get Republican candidates on the ballot for the Illinois General Assembly seats located right here in the City of Chicago! We have recruited and approved 23 candidates here in the City. Each one of them needs a MINIMUM of 500 valid registered voter signatures on their petition sheets to secure a spot on the ballot. It's not easy, but they are all working hard to get the job done AND THEY NEED YOUR HELP!Read more
Internship - 2013 Fall Semester Application
The Chicago Republican Party represents a broad diversity of people in the city, across geographical, racial, ethnic, and economic divides. What ties us together is the core belief that the people can govern themselves. It is the same belief that drew the founders to create this nation. We believe that government has become too large and powerful. We believe that in this city, the people have been forced to serve the government, not the other way around.
The Chicago Republican Party Internship Program will provide students and recent graduates with a hands-on learning experience. Each intern will participate in the political process and earn valuable hands-on experience. In addition to experience, those who complete the required hours will receive a letter of recommendation from Chairman Adam Robinson, you may also earn school credit*.Read more
Chicago Republicans get ready to run in 2014
From the Illinois Review:
CHICAGO - Chicago Republicans gathered at their Lincoln Park headquarters Saturday to rake in information on how to set up campaigns and get ready for the upcoming 2014 election season, starting after Labor Day 2013.
"Republicans are alive and well in Chicago, and we're getting that information out," with coordinated efforts in local media and the Internet, Chicago GOP Communications Director Chris Cleveland said.
And all their work is paying off, if Saturday's turnout gives hint of the group's effectiveness. Candidates willing to get in Congressional, state legislature and county races were soaking up the information the Leadership Institute team offered.
Chicago Republican Party calls for investigation into billboard deal, calls it "yet another parking meter mess"
The Chicago Republican Party called for a City Council investigation today of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's proposed billboard contracts. As proposed, the 20-year deals would be yet another parking meter-style giveaway to a vendor in exchange for a small amount of upfront cash.
The Mayor's deal would:
- Give away yet another of the city's assets for short term cash
- Enrich another yet another vendor, who has already made a contribution to the Mayor's campaign
- Create another unbreakable contract, saddling the city for years with a deal it can't renegotiate
- Pollute the skyline, subjecting the city's drivers to distracting digital advertisements
"It's time for the Mayor and the Democrats to stop selling the city's assets just to get a little short-term cash," said Chris Cleveland, Chicago GOP spokeman. "The Democrats need to learn from the parking meter mess. What's it going to take for them to get a clue?"
"This new giveaway is especially galling, given the new revelations that the Mayor has taken donations from the billboard vendor, from red light camera vendors and from other city contractors. Is he looking to get another billboard payoff?" said Cleveland.

Chicago Republican Party proposes vouchers, parent takeover of closing public schools
Today the Chicago Republican Party proposed letting parents take over closing Chicago public schools, and giving vouchers to kids who are displaced by the closings.
Under the "takeover plan" parents may submit proposals for taking over a closing school and turning it into a charter school. The process would be similar to the existing process for creating new charter schools.
If a school is not taken over, then the children should receive vouchers to attend any school, public or private, of their choice.
"Parents should be given a choice. If CPS can't turn a school around, then let the parents take over. If enough parents step up to the plate, they should be given a chance to keep their neighborhood school open," said Chris Cleveland, spokesman for the Chicago GOP.
Similar plans exist in several states. Seven states have "parent trigger" laws that allow parents to take neighborhood schools private. Parent trigger laws are under consideration in several more states.
In 2010 the New York Times reported that "Mayor Rahm Emanuel has promised to introduce similar regulations in Chicago if he wins his bid for mayor there. "
The Chicago GOP calls on the Mayor to follow through on his promise and let the parents have a say in their children's education.

Last Stand Exactly What You'd Expect in an Arnold Movie
- Friday, January 18, 2013
DVD Release Date: May 21, 2013
Theatrical Release Date: January 18, 2013
Rating: R (strong bloody violence thoughout and language)
Genre: Action/Drama
Run Time: 113 min.
Director: Jee-woon Kim
Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville, Peter Stomare, Eduardo Noriega, Genesis Rodriguez, Luis Guzman, Sonny Landham, Jaimie Alexander, Rodrigo Santoro
Aside from releasing his rather salacious autobiography, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story back in October 2012 and making cameos in both Expendables flicks, Arnold Schwarzenegger has kept a pretty low profile, professionally speaking anyway, after stepping down as the governor of California.
But for anyone who's been missing the Terminator's larger-than-life presence on the big screen, Schwarzenegger has found yet another character, namely Sheriff Ray Owens, who plays to his particular set of strengths.
Having a little fun with the fact that he's not exactly a spring chicken anymore (Schwarzenegger is now an AARP-friendly 65 years old), Arnold still has plenty of fight in him, apparently. True to form, he spouts off cheesy one-liners like nobody's business, even if none are nearly as memorable as "I'll be back" or "Hasta la vista, baby."
That said, no one will mistake The Last Stand for anything made in Schwarzenegger's glory years, but it's also exactly what the audience expects—no more, no less. Set in a sleepy Arizona border town that Ray retreats to after a long, trying police career in Los Angeles, it's during a rare day off-duty when the story kicks into madcap gear.
With most of the city's residents out of town for a high school basketball game, it's pretty much the perfect time for a dangerous criminal to escape without fanfare, right? And as the FBI transports the lawbreaker (Eduardo Noriega, Vantage Point) to his new home behind bars, he breaks free, jumps into a souped-up car and takes a hostage (Genesis Rodriguez, Man on a Ledge) along for the ride. Dubbing him a "psychopath in the Batmobile," the furious lead agent (Forest Whitaker, The Great Debaters) is determined to set things right.
Given the quaintness of the surroundings and the fact that Ray doesn't exactly excel at small talk, it's not surprising when the accused, not to mention the FBI, assumes that local law enforcement is basically straight out of Mayberry. But ol' Ray has a few tricks up his sleeve and plenty of firepower, thanks to the town's resident nutjob (Johnny Knoxville) who stockpiles vintage weapons like WWII machine guns and medieval battle flails—with spikes for added effectiveness, naturally.
As it turns out, the aforementioned bad guy is a third generation drug lord with ambitious plans. Commissioning a team to build a bridge over a narrow valley between Arizona and Mexico, hence making the day-to-day "work" a little easier, only a handful of people are standing in the way of his vision. Despite having so much working in his favor, including serious manpower and a car that travels faster than a plane, his endgame won't be accomplished without some major resistance from who else? Yes, Mr. Schwarzenegger.

Favourite Vancouver 2010 olympics moment:
When Alexandre Bilodeau won the first gold medal on home soil.
this feeling will be repeated tonight after the Canucks win the Stanley Cup!
i think this is when i decided that maybe the Olympics really weren't such a bad thing for my city.
I was practically crying when he won

The Indiana Supreme Court has struck down Evansville's smoking ban.
Tavern and private club owners say the exemption of Tropicana Casino violates the state constitution, and the Indiana Supreme Court agrees.
According to the in majority opinion by Chief Justice Dickson, the city exempting riverboat casinos from the Smoking Ban "...is tantamount to the government 'selling' an exemption from the Smoking Ban for the bonus of anticipated financial benefits while burdening other citizens and snubbing our framers' intent in drafting Article 1, Section 23."
Click here to read the Supreme Court Justice's opinions on the decision.
Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke released the following statement on the court's decision:
"We are disappointed by today's ruling of the Indiana Supreme Court. The ordinance that was struck down was a bipartisan piece of legislation. It was passed 7-2 by the City Council and approved by me. The legislation was designed to protect the health and safety of Evansville residents, not to create the so called unequal treatment between bars, taverns, private clubs and the riverboat casino. It is important to note that in addition to the bipartisan approval by the City Council and me, the ordinance was deemed constitutional by the trial court, three court of appeal judges, and two of the five Indiana Supreme Court justices. We encourage businesses to continue to enforce a no smoking policy, while the city continues to evaluate the legal implications of this ruling."
The decision means that the 2012 amendment to Evansville's smoking ordinance which expanded the smoking ban to bars and restaurants but exempted Tropicana Casino, has been stricken in its entirety.
The decision also states, "The 2006 Smoking Ban is therefore restored as it existed before the 2012 amendment."
The 2006 ordinance prohibited smoking in workplaces an other public places in the City of Evansville, but exempted bars, private clubs, and riverboats.
Last year, a Vanderburgh County judge and the Indiana Court of Appeals rejected the tavern owners' argument, saying the casino mostly serves people from out of state, and that the casino pays taxes taverns are not required to pay.
The Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission says establishments that are no longer prohibited from allowing smoking as a result of the ruling must still follow with the state smoking law. In particular, all of the appropriate signs must be posted, and an exemption form must be filed with the Indiana State Excise Police, before allowing smoking.
Signs required by Indiana's statewide Smoke-Free Air Law can be found online here.
ATC officials say fraternal and social clubs who want to allow smoking must first vote to allow smoking at the club.

text: Two Wolves Posted on June 21, 2012 by goodboyroy An old Cherokee told his grandson: "My son, there's a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It's anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is Good. It's joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness and truth." The boy thought about it and asked: "Grandfather, which wolf wins?". The old man quietly replied: "The one you feed."

Tightest teens on the web
If we had to name some of the important contributions England has made throughout time, we'd point out works of art, literature and fashion, and then, of course, we'd have to mention teen-dream Kerry G. This fiery carrot-top came to us by way of the land of hope and glory in 1998 and quickly became a reader favorite because of her adorable face and explosive red bush. Long-gone, but not forgotten, Kerry is still one of the best of the Brit brats. We found these pics while doing inventory of the photosets in our image library. The minute we saw Kerry, we knew we'd found a buried treasure, and we couldn't wait to share it with our readers. "It's exciting when people look at me. My tight, white panties always get sticky when I'm being naughty,� Kerry said. Naughty, indeed. She was featured as the October '98 covergirl, went solo in May '99 and did a sizzling layout in the October. '00 issue, where she shagged gal pal Vicky. Kerry also starred in Babyface Kerry and Teen Angels in Heat before she was through. Often referred to as one of our best teens, Kerry will always hold a place in our hearts and hard-ons as the little redhead with big-time sexuality.
Neither of these two history class cuties had ever thought much about what having sex with another girl would be like. But, when they were forced to spend time together alone for being late to class, they started talking about classes, and guys, and sex, and then�each other! Once Kerry started talking about how much she enjoyed her own pussy, and Vicky started getting comfortable enough to talk about hers, Kerry didn't wait to ask-was Vicky interested in some show and tell? Vicky was surprised, but thought about it. What happened after she said, "Yes," you'll just have to see for yourself.

Read Poems by
Earl Hans
Now, he is one with the pack
and they're always on the attack
The scent of prey is in the air
Enemies of the pack, beware!
They hunt under the pale moonlight
The wolf man leads them in the night
Thus the wolf man became notorious
The pack's exploits so glorious
Ravaging every town that doesn't submit
Taking all they can, and lives of those unfit
and no one ever dared to cross their path
and incite their awesome wrath
But then, one night, a mob, in rage
Scoured the woods, wanting the wolf man erased
The pack will fight for him until the end
Their loyalty to him cannot be bent
So they fought, a losing battle, though
One by one they fell, turned cold as snow
The wolf man despaired, but still they fought on
His pack stands united, their faith unflawed
Their numbers dwindled, the mob pushed them deep
"Is this the end?" The wolf man asks while he weeps
The pack tells him to run, run to save himself
Without question he runs, looking back to them as they fell
But he is still hunted, and can't find refuge
A different place, but in there, someone still pursues
Another mob, with desire to slay
Nothing more to keep them at bay
Mortally wounded, he cowers and runs away
Was the pack's sacrifice made in vain?

Farro Minestrone with Brussels Sprouts, Butternut Squash, and Chestnuts

I was really surprised at how well all the flavors in this minestrone complimented each other. The pancetta really made it delicious. This was my first time using chestnuts and they were really good in this soup. I added the halved cherry tomatoes after I put the soup into the bowls, so they were nice and fresh, instead of cooked. This would be great for a dinner party.
TheloniousPunk Posted: 11/02/10
the perfect soup. the texture of the farro and chestnuts compliment each other perfectly. this converted my roommate into eating brussel sprouts! I'm planning on making this for a fancy 40th bday party dinner this weekend using home made chicken stock.

Strikes, Free Riders and Social Customs
AbstractIn recent years there has been a growing literature on the role of social customs in the labour market. Marsden (1986), for example, has emphasised the importance of group norms and social custom in various labour market contexts. Jones (1984) develops an economic model of conformist behaviour in which an individual's work effort is determined partly by tradition and by the behaviour of other workers. A central theme of the literature is that a rational economic agent does not inhabit a social vacuum and hence that individual behaviour is influenced, to some extent, by the actions of others. The approach promises the possibility of an escape from the free-riders problem, which, as we shall investigate, might have a number of labour market applications. Such a potential has been suggested by a number of writers in different fields. Eiser (1978), writing from a socio-psychological perspective, has stressed the role of social norms in producing cooperative outcomes in the theoretical context of the prisoner's dilemma. Such an emphasis is consistent with Sen's (1977) argument that the concept of commitment might offer a solution to the free rider problems.
