Serving AAPI Communities in the Midwest
Ranjana Paintal is being honored as a Health in the AAPI Community Champion of Change.
I am honored to be chosen along with my fellow counterparts as a Champion of Change. Over the last year, I have served as program manager for the Asian Health Coalition's partnership consortium around education, outreach and enrollment to underserved Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) communities in Illinois, which has been made possible through the Affordable Care Act. My participation at the local level has been fulfilling both on a personal and professional level in this landmark national effort. However, this award magnifies this sense of fulfillment because it furthers one of our agency's most significant goals- to bring attention to the challenges of the marginalized immigrant and refugee communities in Illinois.
"No community should be invisible to its government" said President Barack Obama when he unveiled his vision to meet the growing and unmet needs of this country's AAPI community a few years ago. These words have been central to our mission at the Asian Health Coalition as many of the immigrant communities that we work with have historically lacked health insurance and access to basic preventative care.
Illinois is home to the 5th largest AAPI population in the nation and also the largest in the Midwest region. As more than two-thirds of AAPIs in Illinois are immigrants, the passage of the Affordable Care Act presents an amazing opportunity to address the needs of the communities that our consortium serves and allows them to have access to health care services which we regard as a basic human right.
Our consortium of community-based organizations and their certified navigators have been cultural brokers in the education, outreach and enrollment of their community members. Right from the beginning, our navigators educated each of the unique populations that they served about the Affordable Care Act and how it could help them, and then followed up to ensure that those needing assistance in the enrollment process received the help that they needed. Culturally sensitive and language appropriate educational materials were created with feedback from our community partners; ethnic news media outlets, and key stakeholders including community leaders were educated to help spread the word within their networks. As a result, these communities had access to simple and jargon-free information in their native language, were encouraged to sign up from those they trusted most (faith leaders, community leaders and elders), and had trustworthy spokespeople from within their community who they could rely on to navigate them through the enrollment process. Thanks to the efforts of my colleagues and our partners, we had an incredibly successful enrollment period, surpassing our enrollment goals and educating thousands of individuals.
As a mother of 2 young children it gives me peace of mind to know that with the help of my health insurance I am better able to take care of myself so that I can take care of them. I look forward to the day when every parent in this country can say this, no matter what community they live in, what language they speak and where they are from. I'm proud that I was able to play a role in this historic initiative that will hopefully bring us to that day.

How can today's youth get involved and help initiate change in the world?
I am sixteen years old. It is 7AM here in Seattle, and I have not slept all night because I have been watching all of these TED videos. This is one of the most invigorating and inspiring websites I have ever had the fortune of stumbling upon.
As a young citizen, I am constantly trying to determine what role I want to play in my community, my country, and ultimately the world. The trouble is that I don't really know myself. I don't really know what I'm passionate about. I go back and forth between an inspired, i-can-do-anything mentality and a state of complete and utter despair because I have no idea what to do with myself.
TED videos remind me of my desire to initiate change. They encourage me to find what it is that I'm passionate about and to commit myself to the cause, yet it seems like they give us youth very few resources to experiment, discover, and participate in a way that has any significant effects.
What I'm seeking isn't vague, unhelpful (though well-intentioned) encouragement saying, "Don't give up! You can do it!"-type things. What are some specific ways I can get involved? (Ex: Names of some nonprofit organizations I can volunteer/intern at?)
*Edit: I know that, ultimately, I have to find out for myself what I'm passionate about. Perhaps I should be asking for you to share some of your experiences in which you discovered your passion(s).

Jan 8 2012: Grace,
Came across a comment you made saying you worked at youth summer camps-this is an AWESOME place to start! I've been in camping/outdoor education for about 6 years now, working with all age groups, and it truly is the best thing I have ever done. I started at 16, and would spend the summer 110 miles from home. That was my first real taste of independence, as well as living in an environment that wasn't my own. It helps to make you grow as a person, and in turn, help others. Fast forward, I'm now 22, and spent the past summer working with the Chicago Park District. One of the coolest things our program did was have our campers spend a night in their city park, which can be absolutely terrifying for kids who have never been away from home, never slept in a tent before, and, not to mention, sleeping in an area that can be seen as dangerous. BUT, it was an experience that they really took to heart, and being able to provide a positive, new experience for someone who might not get that at home, is truly astounding. It's those kids who'll grow up and become counselors because of what YOU taught them.
Sorry, that was long winded. I get excited when I see other people who are excited about youth empowerment AND summer camp.

No "Idol" alums won an American Music Award but Daughtry, Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Clarkson performed while Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson presented. (Judge Lopez did win a Best Latin Artist award.)
Also, "The Voice" judges Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera performed "Moves Like Jagger."
Here is Clarkson in a big spangly red dress doing a big-band version of "Mr. Know It All." The song is still gaining spins on the top 40 charts but is jammed in the teens, currently at No. 14 on the Mediabase 24/7 chart. (On Hot AC, it's at No. 3). Clarkson will be at the Fabulous Fox Theatre Feb. 23.
Daughtry was the only rock band on the show (unless you count Maroon 5 as "rock"). They performed "Crawling Back To You." The song edged into the top 10 this week on the Hot AC chart. He'll be headlining the Star 94 Jingle Jam Dec. 13 at Gwinnett Arena:
Jennifer Lopez did a medley:

The overall show was good. JLo made mistakes and sometimes sounded horrible.
Hasselhoff coming out baring his legs was hysterical.

Well, I don't get the point of that too
Astro, I didn't like him from Hollywood week on. It is nice that someone crafted a nice apology for him, but it doesn't change my attitude towards him. He showcases all that is wrong with most of the contestants on X-Factor. They just don't belong.
November 21st, 2011

Hi y'all.
Well, I'm sure y'all know I watched…and I somewhat enjoyed the arrangement on Mr Know It All. On the positive, I did enjoy the Jessica Rabbit outfit. And also, Kelly will be on XFactor this Wednesday, I guess I'll be watching the results show after all.

@k&c/Harriett – I agree, the pelvic thrust was an EWWWWWW moment, but I laughed anyway because when I realized it was The Hoff, I wondered WTH he was doing in the middle of all those people.
@JTesla – you saw an apology from Astro's team??? Where??? That snot-nosed, co*cky, arrogant little twit of a teenybopper needs to apologize to his mother. Ok, that was mean of me, but I'm going to post it anyway.

Thanks, JTesla. I read it and he still has a lot to learn. He speaks and acts as if he's already paid his just dues to the entertainment world. He has to remember, the biggest of them can fall and at 14 he's not too far from the bottom.

Astroturd…I like that Mercedes. That fits the little snot perfectly !!!
November 22nd, 2011
9:12 am
Whelp, now that Stacy is gone after being "blog enemy #1″. I guess Astro is next in line to wear the "8ball". Probably Marcus after him, then Chris. Let's just say I notice trends.
Sing-off was tough last night. The judges forced a "sing-off" between Afro Blue and Dartmouth Aires. They went with the Aires and Shawn was not happy. I don't blame him. AB was a better group overall and recordable, but the Aires were more traditional, with a lead singer that sings off the charts. Because of that, Afro Blue fans will probably go for Urban Method or Panatronix. I'm thinking Afro Blue will land a deal through Shawn's contacts. They are really that good, kind of like Committed (they won last year).
Overall, the Sing Off had the best top 4 contestants out of any singing show this year (yes, this includes American Idol). All I can say is the competition was ferocious, and it was difficult deciding the absolute best out of 4. Voting polls for the Sing-off open next week.
November 22nd, 2011
9:14 am
Sorry, voting polls for the Sing Off opened last night. How could I forget. Results are next week.
November 22nd, 2011
9:22 am
G, you must have missed the trend with Lakota… Team Eye-Candy, whatever they are called. They were "blog enemy" before Stacy, and still are as far as I can tell.
November 22nd, 2011
9:28 am
G…if the "trend" you're noticing refers to talentless and/or obnoxious contestants, then, yep, there's a trend. Stacy's performance last wek was so terribly off-key that I had to lower the volume on my tv, then she added something that can only be referred to as "caterwauling" to top off the worst performance of the night.
I acknowledge that the little rapper boy is talented but his enormous ego has turned people off…people who vote.
Marcus would be so much better without LA "mentoring" him. The performances that LA has put together for Marcus are frenetic and based on 90's pop. Marcus can sing…let him sing!
I might add that Chris was a lot better without LA's help as well.

When Thinner Isn't Better
Guest blogger Dani Klein Modisett: How do you tell a woman who is excited to be svelte after several pregnancies that she's taken it too far?
"No thanks, I already ate at home," my dear friend tells the waiter approaching the table. She was more than 15 minutes late to our lunch and seeing as I am going to be nursing my son until he's 30, I was starving and had already ordered.
"Sorry I didn't get here on time," she said, sitting down and dropping her purse on the table with a thud. "I had a hard time leaving the house today," she continued, pulling her phone out of the bag and placing it on the table.
It was then that I noticed something was different about her arms. Where once they looked like arms, they now resembled long toothpicks covered in flesh. And her face was gaunt too, like an Edvard Munch sketch.
"That's cool," I said, diving in to the breadbasket like an aardvark that is handed a bag of termites. "Excuse me, can we get some olive oil?" I barked to a passing waiter. It's very important to have fat in your diet when you're breastfeeding. Which is, of course, one of the reasons I am still breastfeeding.
"So what's going on?" I asked my friend, wiping crumbs from my mouth.
"I don't know ... I'm just really tired all the time. Two kids is a lot."
Especially if you don't eat, I think, dipping my piece of focacia in the newly arrived pool of oil.
"Well, are you eating enough?" I asked, as casually as you can ask a person who looks like a well-dressed skeleton.
"What do you mean? I eat all the time. I had a whole croissant yesterday."
"Really?" I had two muffins, half a chicken, a latte, and a 16 oz. container of Faye greek-style yogurt. Before 12 noon. I didn't say that out loud because it's a revolting amount of food even to a normal person, let alone an anorexic.
That's harsh. Or is it? Could it be that this person I have known through two pregnancies and well into her 40's has somehow developed a predominantly twenty-something eating disorder?
And if so, what can I do to help her?
|Dani Klein Modisett is the mother of 1-year-old Gideon (pictured) and 5-year-old Gabriel. She is comedy writer/creator/producer of the show "Afterbirth...stories you won't read in Parents magazine." An anthology of stories from this show will be published by St. Martin's Press, in stores in May 2009.
The subsequent time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to learn, but I really thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you possibly can repair if you happen to werent too busy in search of attention.
Cheers for the sources in the page in addition to in some others comments.
Hey this is a good write up. Can I use some of it on my website ? I would obviously link to your article so people could read the full post if they wanted to. Thanks either way.

I don't even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I don't know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren't already ;) Cheers!
It's perfect time to make some plans for the future and it's time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I want to suggest you some interesting things or advice. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article. I want to read even more things about it!
See, it is great to finally see somebody applying some sensible logic to this. Thanks.
I am not positive the place you are getting your info, however good topic. I must spend some time learning much more or figuring out more. Thank you for wonderful info I was looking for this info for my mission.
Many thanks for the info in the article along with in other people responses.
With thanks for writing this weblog and sharing it with all the world. I would like to know how you can go for examining your rss web site. Please let me know if possible.
Hello! I have read some of your post here and found it interesting and it makes a lot of sense. Plus i love your theme here. Thumbs up! Keep on sharing!
Really thankful am I because I've observed this beneficial content. I'll check this out and see if it will deliver the results on my weblog too.
So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can't resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don't worry about my Doberman. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!" When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe's apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!" To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"
Formula for success: Rise early, perform hard, strike oil.

Getting ready to fire up Gran Turismo 5 this morning? Polyphony Digital would like you to wait a few moments, because there is a patch that needs to be downloaded... and it's 608 megabytes. Don't fret though, According to Eurogamer, this update brings a few new interesting features:
- Seasonal Events: Fresh racing events that allow GT5 users to compete against each other to win rewards and experience points. Leader boards will allow you to see where you stand compared to the rest of the world.
- Online Car Dealer: A new dealer lot that will focus on popular and rare used cars. This is a nice change of pace from the constant stream of odd JDM Civics and Subaru 360s that seem to wind up in our Used Car lot.
- Online Race Rewards and Experience: Just like it sounds... this adds rewards and experience points for races won in online competitions.
- Mechanical Damage: It was made available for online races but has now made its way to the offline races as well.
- HUD: You can disable the HUD display for a full-screen view of the action.
- Improved Rewards: The rewards for certain challenges, such as the AMG Driving Experience, have been increased.
- GT Academy officially launches as of 12/20/2010
We are still learning more with regards to what exactly is included in this mega-update, but word on the virtual street is that this ought to be a solid early Christmas present for Gran Turismo 5 fans.

The Hidden Canyon Trail was built in 1928 under the guidance of Guy D. Edwards and F.A. Kittredge to provide access to a hanging canyon. The trail consists of three sections. The first section starts at the East Rim Trail and runs for 950 feet (290 m) as a horse trail with eleven switchbacks with dry-laid sandstone retaining walls.
The 745-foot (227 m) section was built as a hikers-only trail along a natural shelf, with a small section of blasted passage with steps and a hand rail. The final section was blasted from a steep slope by workers hanging from ropes. The completed work was designed to blend into the landscape, while vegetation was preserved during construction.
The Hidden Canyon Trail was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1987, reference number 86003731.

A Creational Trail.
Matireal demonstrates that a simple idea can transform a local problem into a network of new possibilities.
Environmental architect Keith Hayes began his project with a nearly unlimited resource: used tires. The goal is to connect two neighborhoods that are currently divided by a disused railroad and a six-lane road, while reusing discarded tires that litter both neighborhoods and breed those infamous Wisconsin mosquitos.
By transforming trashed tires into matireal — a geotextile infilled with gravel and sod — Hayes hopes to build an art corridor along an abandoned industrial route and connect communities together. Residents benefit; trash is recycled; private land becomes public; economic opportunties are created; and the model is proven, clearing a path for similar projects in other cities.
How's that for a win-win-win-win-win?

Free smoothies samples at McDonald's during the Peachtree Road Race
The first time I ran the AJC Peachtree Road Race, I had to make a pit stop at the McDonald's. I wouldn't anticipate such a detour again, but if you're in the area, take note that the 2929 Peachtree Road, N.E. location in Buckhead will be giving away samples of its new fruit smoothies from 7 a.m. to noon on Sunday, July 4.The smoothies debut nationally on July 13.

The problem with the free museum admissions is that you have to be with bank of America. I would rather take a sharp stick in my eyes.

The location and room was wonderful. Service was very minimal as there is a code to get into the front door and another one for your room, which they send via email, so no personal contact. As we had read on previous reviews, the "breakfast" part of the B&B consisted of some breakfast bars and instant oatmeal cups. There was no common area to sit and enjoy the company of the other guests at breakfast or in the early evening, which is another thing lacking from other B&Bs we've stayed in. There was no afternoon tea or wine, cheese and crackers sort of thing, again because there is no common room. Simply put, if you think of The Christopher as a B&B, you are going to be disappointed. If you think of it as a boutique hotel, you will have a great time.

Excellent accommodation for a couple. Has everything you need to cook your own meals and is close to supermarket and the centre of town, train station etc. Would definitely recommend it. Great city.

Easy and quick access to all of Boston's attractions. Was able to check-in early, which was a plus. Great View from Rooftop with a Grill to use, which was great! Two dislikes: 1. Not able to control AC from room...relatively cool enough but definitely some times it would have been nicer to make it cooler considering we visited in July during 90 degree weather! 2. Bed was fairly hard/flat and so I did not find it comfortable.

From when we walked upstairs to when we left thr whole experience was great. Spacious bedroom with great decor and livingroom and kitchenette were better than expected. Customer service was top notch and they are only 100 yards up the road if anything needs doing. View was great from roofdeck and bbq is supplied for residents. On leaving the excellant manager of The Inn on botolph street took in our bags on our checkout morning and offered us use of there facilities while we waited to depart boston later than afternoon. I would recommend this to anyone bringing kids as there is a great playpark and amenities within 5 minutes walk. I will be rebooking for the new year

I stayed at The Christopher during a conference at the Hynes Convention Center. Note that this is not a typical B&B. It's more like renting a furnished apartment. The entrance is hard to find (which I think is good-- safer). You must walk up 1, 2, or 3 flights of stairs to reach your room-- no elevators-- so pack light. There's not really "breakfast"-- just a box of dried goods-- but there's a nice little convenience store across the street and a wine store right down stairs. The rooms are great-- spacious, light, and with fireplaces! I wanted to stay in my room the whole time I was in Boston, but I had to go to the convention. It is only 3 short blocks from the Prudential Center, which you can walk through to get to Hynes-- about a 10 minute walk. For a huge private apartment it was a much better deal than staying at the conference hotel. I would stay there again and recommend it to others.

Stayed for two nights. A great location in the Back Bay area. Walking distance to to some restaurants, the T, and the Boston Commons where we caught the City Trolley tourist trolley to jump on and off throughout the area. The trip up to the rooftop on the fire escape was a bit scary, but worth it to see the view. Lovely little rooftop dinning area. We didn't use the cooking facilities in our room, but could have. We saw another couple dining on spaghetti and wine that they had made in their room. Room was very clean and pleasant.

The Christopher was nice enough- The bonus is the rooftop deck. The room was clean. The air conditioner was not on we had to call to have it turned on, even though they knew we were coming in. Also the "breakfast" basket left a lot to be desired. 2 8oz bottles of water; one crumpled cereal bar; 2 packets of oatmeal; 2 small juice boxes. Oatmeal in July??? For what we paid they should have fresh muffins in the rooms and larger bottles of water. The area was beautiful, not sure if I'd stay there again.

The Christopher is a great alternative to the blandness of standard hotels. Individual, comfortable, clean and quiet. Pleasant neighbourhood. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I only stayed one night, but if I ever make it back to Boston, that's where I'll stay.

University of New Mexico men's soccer coach Jeremy Fishbein interviewed this week for an MLS head coaching job. Fishbein met with FC Dallas owners Clark and Dan Hunt about their head coaching vacancy.
Fishebin said he was not offered the job, but was flattered by their interest. "It's a compliment," Fishbein said.
Sources tell us Fishbein's name was talked about with at least one other MLS team this year.
"Opportunities will come, if that's the direction I decide to take in my coaching career, but I love it here," he said. "I love Albuquerque, I love New Mexico and I love our guys."
"I see myself as an educator and I work for an educational institution. That's very different than working for a professional sports organization, so I felt the timing was OK in that it wasn't going to be a huge distraction to our guys."
For now, it looks like the Lobos won't have to look for a new soccer coach.
"It would take a hell of a lot to get me out of Albuquerque, I'll tell you that," said Fishbein.

Futures bounce on renewed stimulus hopes
Also, concerns over China's liquidity conditions are easing.
By Matthew Kanterman
U.S. equity futures rose in early premarket trade after two Federal Reserve officials reiterated that tapering does not equal a switch to tight monetary policy. Minnesota Fed President Naryana Kocherlakota and Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher both said that scaling back quantitative easing does mean the end of stimulus (Benzinga).
In other news, fears over a Chinese liquidity crunch continued to grip markets overnight as the Shanghai Composite did not post any sort of a bounce after dropping 5% Monday. Concerns, however, are easing following remarks from Chinese central bankers. Meanwhile, economists continued to slash China growth forecasts as export growth continues to lag in the face of a weak global economy.
Also, watch housing stocks Tuesday as earnings from Lennar (LEN) are expected, as well as key housing-related economic data.
International Business Editor for the Telegraph in the U.K., Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, a noted economics and markets writer, wrote overnight that Italy may need a new bailout within six months.
S&P 500 futures rose 8.9 points to 1,575.10.
The EUR/USD was higher at 1.3122.
Spanish 10-year government bond yields fell 2 basis points to 5.1%.
Italian 10-year government bond yields fell 3 basis points to 4.81%.
Gold rose 0.67% to $1,285.70 per ounce.
Asian markets
Asian shares were mostly lower overnight on continued China fears. The Japanese Nikkei 225 Index declined 0.72% and the Topix Index fell 1.01%. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index eked out a gain of 0.21% while the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.18%. Also, the Korean Kospi fell 1.02% and Australian shares declined 0.28%.
European markets
European shares were higher in early trade as officials from both the Bank of England and the European Central Bank reiterated that easy-money policy will be around for some time. The Spanish Ibex Index rose 1.23% and the Italian FTSE MIB Index gained 0.88%. Meanwhile, the German DAX rose 1.46% and the French CAC 40 gained 1.38% while U.K. shares added 0.85%.
Commodities were bouncing overnight after metals declined Monday despite oil's outperformance. WTI crude futures rose 0.76% to $95.90 per barrel and Brent crude futures gained 0.75% to $101.92 per barrel. Copper futures bounced off of three-year lows, gaining 1.16% to $306.35 per pound. Gold was higher and silver futures gained 1.32% to $19.75 per ounce.
Currency markets were rather quiet overnight as the yen continued to strengthen on safe-haven flows as China fears continued to surface. The EUR/USD was slightly higher at 1.3122 and the dollar fell against the yen to 97.22. Overall, the Dollar Index fell 0.15% on weakness against the yen, the Canadian dollar, the pound, and the euro.
Earnings reported Monday
Key companies that reported earnings Monday include:
Mittel Networks (MITL) reported fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.25 vs. $0.24 expected on revenue of $150.9 million vs. $145.7 million expected.
Sonic (SONC) reported third quarter earnings per share of $0.26 vs. $0.26 expected on revenue of $146.63 million vs. $147.5 million expected.
Premarket movers
Stocks moving in the premarket included:
Sonic (SONC) shares declined 3.88% as revenue missed estimates despite earnings per share being reported in-line.
J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) shares rallied 2.34% premarket as the stock's dividend yield briefly crossed 3%. Investors piled into the stock on this in a hunt for yield.
PulteGroup (PHM) shares rose 1.86% premarket ahead of Lennar's earnings and much housing-related economic data.
Carnival Corp. (CCL) shares fell 0.96% premarket ahead of the company's earnings release.
Notable companies expected to report earnings Tuesday include:
Apollo Group (APOL) is expected to report third quarter earnings per share of $0.85 vs. $1.20 a year ago.
Barnes and Noble (BKS) is expected to report a fourth quarter loss of $0.99 per share vs. a loss of $0.98 per share a year ago.
Carnival Corporation (CCL) is expected to report second quarter earnings per share of $0.06 vs. $0.20 a year ago.
Lennar (LEN) is expected to report second quarter earnings per share of $0.33 vs. $2.06 a year ago.
Smith and Wesson (SWHC) is expected to report fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.44 vs. $0.17 a year ago.
Walgreens (WAG) is expected to report third quarter earnings per share of $0.91 vs. $0.72 a year ago.
On the economics calendar Tuesday, durable goods orders are due out followed by the weekly Redbook and the FHFA home price index. Also expected are the S&P Case-Shiller home price index, new home sales, and the Richmond Fed manufacturing index. In addition, the Treasury is expected to auction 4- and 52-week bills as well as 2-year notes.

I should grow up, but I just don't want to :] Chloe Rose; 14 piercings. 1 tattoo. 1 boyfriend. 1 job. I'm old. Like a wrinkley nana. I'm married. I'm boring. I work fulltime, have my own house, pay the bills, buy some food, read and write. I'm not 'cool' or 'hot'. I'm me maah fucka. I'm nice, just don't be a cock ^_^ Homophobia disgusts me, don't bother talking to me if you look at homosexuals differently to heterosexuals. There is absolutely no difference, love is love. My story is like me, raw, brutal and a little crazy. It's life, it's fantasy with real world honesty, that's the scary part.

I was lucky to meet the energetic Riddell during the S.Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef competition in Napa Valley where I was a judge.

2013 Napa Truffle Festival Recap
on February 21st, 2013Print This Post
by Barb Rybicki
While Napa Valley farmers can earn $5,000 a ton or more for wine grapes, there's another crop that puts that figure to shame. Truffles can fetch a whopping $1,200 dollars per pound which is the equivalent of $2.4 million per ton. It's the most expensive crop in the world, even though truffles are actually 83 per cent water.
The 3rd annual Napa Truffle Festival took place recently to celebrate the revered fungus – specifically the prized Périgord black winter truffle – through a series of ethereal meals and fascinating educational seminars. Ground zero was Napa's Westin Verasa and its La Toque restaurant – though actual ground played a role as well during truffle orchard and wild mushroom forays.

Mt. Brave Wines – Wine News
on April 23rd, 2012Print This Post
A Brave New Wine
Native Americans and early settlers hunted animals with bows and arrows so they could feed themselves and their families. But a lucky few wielding those old-school weapons were able to enjoy a gourmet wild game meal on Sunday, washed down by fine Napa Valley red wines, no matter how badly they aimed.
The occasion was the exclusive launch party for the new Mt. Brave wine label at the Houdini Estate in Los Angeles, where three wines and a mini-archery range magically appeared. Mt. Brave winemaker Chris Carpenter, who has worked on other top Kendall-Jackson Napa mountain vineyards such as Lokoya and Cardinale, introduced the inaugural 2008 vintage, which includes 1,000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon ($75), 100 cases of Merlot ($60) and 100 cases of Malbec ($60).

The Sennheiser Melody is bigger, louder and has more stamina than most Bluetooth speakers. Slip your hands around its convenient carrying handle and the 9-lb. sound cannon starts to feel more like a modern-day boombox. The 360-degree sound system, arrayed with four bass radiators and four full-range speakers, will have party feet tapping in no time. The device also boasts APT-X Bluetooth support for high-quality audio streaming. And with 20 hours of battery life, they'll enjoy at least a dozen albums' worth of playback before the Melody misses a note.
I've heard the sounkdlink II and it was pretty awesome. Wonder how this one compares
Just went from RadioShack to Brookstone, target, walmart and BestBuy. I tried all of these devices and a lot more. A whole day of comparing. Coming out of the audio / electronics world I can say that this…
Bose: great sound and plays loud. But if you don't advertise your battery life on the packaging I am not buying it. They don't give any specs.
UE: has this tube shaped speaker for 199 $ that plays way louder and longer then the little square one.
Beats Pill… You pay to much for what it is. Its not bad for a small device but the UE is better in every way.
JBL has a couple very nice small once. Long battery life and amazing quality for $$$.
What did I buy ???
TDK A33 weather proof.
Maybe only 6 hours of battery life but no wonder with that sound !
I keep it plugged in anyway.
It was the loudest of the little speakers that I could find. With a clear sound even at full volume.
The base was nice full and powerful. The volume button also is perfect in how many steps you have till Max.
150 $ at Best Buy was perfect for this device.
Dear ,
we would like to buy an advertising space on your website, could you provide the offer to us ? And we also want to know if you would like to make review to our item,any detail pls contact me.tks.

Royal Reviews: Denis Kitchen's Chipboard Sketchbook
- Written by Royal Nonesuch on Thursday, August 26 2010 and posted in Reviews
Royal Nonesuch takes an advance look at the next collection of Denis Kitchen art!
Credits & Solicit Info:
Written & Drawn by Denis Kitchen
HC, 128pgs, FC, SRP: $19.95
Diamond Code of AUG100879
Following on the heels of THE ODDLY COMPELLING ART OF DENIS KITCHEN, an overview of the pioneering underground cartoonist published this summer by Dark Horse Books, DENIS KITCHEN'S CHIPBOARD SKETCHBOOK is comprised of particular kinds of drawings on "chipboard" that Kitchen has done below the radar for many years. Chipboard is the heavy, grainy card stock at the base of writing tablets. The artist started the habit of drawing on this unlikely substance during long, often boring production meetings at Kitchen Sink Press, his former company, when he would flip his notes tablet over and doodle with a combination of the only tools at hand: a Sharpie pen and fine-point Uni-ball pen.
With subject matter often extremely bizarre, or, in his own words, even "demented," Kitchen filed these away for many years. They were seen only his close friends and colleagues…until now!
Measuring 6 1/4 x 8 3/4 inches, this collection features an extra thick 3 mm cover stock (chipboard, of course) with a de-bossed cover image and vertical belly band. The full-color 128-page hardcover was edited and designed by Greg Sadowski and art directed by John Lind, who won a 2009 American Graphic Design Award for their work on Underground Classics (Abrams).
Note: contains some images not suitable for minors.
The aesthetics of a piece of artwork are informed by the medium it's created with. The same drawing can take on different qualities on two different stocks of paper, or with two different grades of graphite. It's the tactile aspect of art that doesn't seem to get talked about much outside of art school. Fortunately, it's front and center in DENIS KITCHEN'S CHIPBOARD SKETCHBOARD, the second collection of Denis Kitchen artwork to be released this year (this one is due out in October).
Eschewing smooth white vellum for coarse grade, earth-tone chipboard (the stiff board on the back of a legal pad) and meticulous planning for on-the-fly inspiration yields a grungier style for Kitchen, but the drawings contained in this volume are vintage Denis. The linework is remarkably effortless and whimsical and the drawings on the whole are hysterical; all the rubbery anatomy, devilish grins, and disturbing little beasties that are attendant when perusing a book of Kitchen artwork are on full display here.
Publisher Boom! Town has recruited an excellent designer/art director duo to assemble this nifty archive of rarely seen artwork. The book is beautifully designed, and shows off the juxtaposition of the graniness of the chipboard with the easy glide of Kitchen's pen.
It's really amazing to consider that all of these suitably bizarre pieces are drawn on the spot. A lot of the sketches collected in this book look like they're the fully-formed result of formal planning. In fact, a lot of these designs get outright intricate (how long were these corporate meetings that bored Kitchen so?). The shading, the proportion, and the pure comic bombast collected here are an absolute pleasure to look at, and everything here provides further proof that Kitchen is a master cartoonist.
The Outhouse is sponsored this week by Late Nite Draw. Recently featured on ComicsAlliances' Best Art Ever, he is a Chicago-based commissioned artist with a self-published Digital+Print one-shot coming out in October about the abominable snowman called ABOBAMANIMABBLE, and is also available for commissions.

WASHINGTON How awful are Ted Cruz and his Cruzettes?
They have done the impossible. They have made Americans look back at the Bush II era, the most reckless wrecking ball in American history, with relative nostalgia.
With 78 percent of Americans feeling blue about the country being on the wrong track, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, many consider the GOP's imperialistic unilaterists less loco than the narcissistic anarchists. As grandiose delusions go, global domination makes more sense than self-annihilation.
"If I was in the Senate now, I'd kill myself," Chris Christie said Friday.
But before you start thinking Dick Cheney is temperate by comparison, consider the Commentary roast of the former vice president on Monday night at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
Cheney made a joke about waterboarding an antelope that he borrowed from Jay Leno. Donald Rumsfeld quasi-jested that he knew Dick "back when the president of the United States still led our foreign policy, instead of Putin."
The acrid legacy of Cheney and Rummy lives on as they carp from the sidelines about the "so-called commander in chief." In December, "The Unknown Known," an Errol Morris documentary about the man who was the youngest and oldest secretary of defense, hits theaters.
Morris won an Oscar in 2004 for "Fog of War," his documentary about another dangerous, delusional defense secretary with wire-rimmed glasses, Robert McNamara; in his acceptance speech, Morris warned that, with Iraq, America might be going down another "rabbit hole."
But the cocky Rummy talked to him for 33 hours anyway. Unlike McNamara, however, Rumsfeld does not admit his historic blunders, but maintains his "Stuff happens" brio.
"You make a movie with the secretary of defense you have," Morris told me dryly, "not with the secretary of defense you want to have."
Still, the filmmaker was smart to bookend the men, opposite ends of the same warmongering problem: McNamara was so droning and unemotive that he lulled listeners into thinking that nothing bad could be happening, while Rumsfeld was so energetic and blithe that it was hard to believe that people were dying and the war was being lost.
"In his memos and homilies, Rumsfeld will say things that are just contradictory, as though by saying everything, you've covered all your bases," Morris continued. "It's deeply anti-rational, as if there's no deep reflection or thought. You have no evidence? Well, 'the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence,' as Rumsfeld said about WMD in Iraq. Taken to some crazy conclusion, you can justify anything that way."
When Morris presses Rumsfeld about the Justice Department's "torture memos," the former defense chief said they did not come out of "the Bush administration, per se; they came out of the U.S. Department of Justice."
That parsing would be beyond Bill Clinton.
When Morris asks Rumsfeld about the "confusion" that linked Saddam to 9/11, he answers brightly, "I don't think the American people were confused about that," adding, "I don't remember anyone in the Bush administration saying anything like that, nor do I recall anyone believing that."
Holy mushroom cloud.
Rumsfeld doesn't even seem to understand his signature phrase. Reading from a 2004 memo, he says, "There are known knowns. There are known unknowns. There are unknown unknowns." He tells Morris that there are also unknown knowns. Things that you possibly may know that you don't know you know.
Morris challenges him: "But the memo doesn't say that. It says that we know less, not more, than we think we do."
Rumsfeld finally admits a boo-boo: "Yeah, I think that memo is backwards." Then he chastises the filmmaker for "chasing the wrong rabbit."
Right down the rabbit hole.

Its always surprising to hear how much coal we still use in the world today, with so many cleaner alternatives I wish there was a major push to stop the mining and burning of such a horrible resource. Not pointing the finger just at Facebook, its unfortunately a world wide problem.
Karanm coal isnt as bad as it put out to be, the two big problems with coal are inefficiency, (large amounts have to be burned to produce relatively little electricity) and old power plants still in use.
New power plants are said to produce up to 40% less carbon emissions while squeazing another 20 percent of efficiency out of the coal effectively adding a total of 50 percent its previous emissions for a equal amount of energy production.
The general opinion is that coal hasn't progressed as an energy in the three hundred years its beem around but the truth is that coal has become more and more viable as an energy source with the leaps and bounds being made in the energy sector to cut emissions caused by fuel burning plants, plants that are said to make as much as 41% of the worlds energy.
Also coal power is 5 or ten times cheaper than solar and 3x as cheap as wind and hydro electric. it evens has nuclear and oil built. the short answer, we use it because it keeps our costs down while back tracking to make it safe for the environment.
Burning coal might have gotten safer for the environment, but mining for it certainly is not better than wind or solar. The mountaintop removal method generally pollutes the surrounding water and creates an extremely toxic slurry which if released has devastating effects to the surrounding ecosystem for 100s of years. The economical cost of solar or wind may be higher but the environmental cost of coal is astronomical, of course governments care more about the bottom line than anything else so yea coal and other fossil fuels still run the majority of the world instead of cleaner renewable sources of energy.

nice ride. I'm looking for something like this in the northern UK but am not having so much luckPics of my new-to-me commuter bike, from craigslist. It looks pretty drab but rides so much better than the full-suspension Mongoose I had been riding. This is much faster, especially uphill. I bought it yesterday evening after work and rode it to work this morning after adding the underseat bag with a tube and lock and the front water bottle cage with a mini-pump clipped to the side.
It's a Raleigh USA MT 400, made in Seattle. The brakes, brake levers, shifters, and tires don't match each other, but both derailleurs are Shimano Deore LX. I imagine I'll change stuff over time - like having matching brake levers, especially. Do you guys have any favorites on the lower side of the price range? Right now one feels great (Shimano, looks like aluminum to me) but one feels cheap and flimsy (ProMax, looks like cheapest Chinese pot metal available).
Do either of the tires look backwards to you guys? They both do to me, but I confess I know little about bike tires.
Shopping list - brake levers...maybe I can buy one that matches the Shimano I like on craiglist, eBay, etc.?
Pedals - I don't like clips on pedals and while I could remove these, the pedals themselves are pretty mashed up. Is there sort of an inexpensive but durable favorite pedal among MTBers and commuters who wear regular shoes while riding?
Fenders, rear rack, and some kind of rack bag. Maybe a little stubby front rack too that mounts on the brake...uh...mounts? You guys know what I mean. There's a recent thread about them.
Grips. These are terrible. They are thicker at the outside and after my five mile commute this morning, it felt like all the pressure was on the bone between my pinky and wrist on each hand, instead of evenly distributed across my hands.
Saddle. It looks and feels like the stock seat on my Mongoose but I've been at my desk for about an hour now and I still feel like I'm on the bike. That didn't happen on the other bike. I guess it might be the lack of suspension, but otherwise I stand whenever going over bumps and such. I'll switch them out tonight and see how that works tomorrow.

The High Leverage Asset Preservation Program (HILAPP) provides grants to local housing authorities (LHAs) that are able to secure matching funds from local and/or other non-DHCD sources to support the modernization and redevelopment of state-aided public housing. HILAPP is a complement to the Formula Funding Program which was launched in 2010. Whereas Formula Funding predictably disburses capital bond funds across the entire state-aided public housing portfolio according to a needs-based formula, HILAPP grants funding awards via a competitive process.
The program is guided by the following core principles:
- Preserve as many units as possible
- Prioritize developments with significant capital needs that cannot sufficiently be addressed with Formula Funding
- Prioritize developments in communities with the highest need for extremely low income housing
- Leverage as much capital as possible from sources other than DHCD
Between FY14 and FY18, DHCD intends to distribute $75M for HILAPP projects, which will in turn leverage millions of dollars from outside sources. DHCD will repeat the competitive award process annually, funding permitting, in order to build and maintain a consistent pipeline of HILAPP projects.
DHCD announced the availability of the HILAPP program in its Public Housing Notice 2013-12. See request for proposals, application form, and list of eligible developments below.
Additional HILAPP Program Documents
2nd Round FY14 - The 2014 deadline for HILAPP proposal submission is April 1, 2014.

2-1/2" O.D. Hose to 4" O.D. Quick-Connect Dust Collection Fitting
This is what I needed to take my shop vac hose to both my cabinet saw (Grizzly) and to my Delta Plainer dust collector (Delta 50-446). The Hose from the Shop vac fits INSIDE the small end like any shop vac accessory head. The larger end is intended to fit over tool dust ports. The design also allows for "dust collection" hoses to fit over the small end (which are larger than my shop vac hose). Because of the taper on the small end being out to fit the larger hose (not inward like my shop vac accessories) the fit is a little loose, but usable. This is what I needed to do a quick collection to my tools using my shop vac.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I finally found the dust collection fitting that works. This is the one you need if you are looking for a reducer to fit the 4 inch OD dust collection port on the back of your bandsaw to connect to the 2 1/2 inch hose on your shopvac.
Great Fit, Finally!

I have a Dust Right Dust Separator connected to my 16 gal Ridgid shop vac and have played heck connecting the hose (2 1/2") to the 4" ports on many of my woodworking tools such as the Grizzly 6" Jointer and Ridgid 4512 Table Saw. All of the connections I have purchased to date to easily connect those items to my vac setup have not been successful. I know that sounds dumb, but it's true. Until now. The quick connect fits just right on both the 4" Jointer and Table Saw saw as it does with the hose end. Finally.
It works
About Me
Allowed me to connect my Shop Vac to my Ridgid r4512 table saw with no noticeable leaks and nothing else needed. I'm amazed at all the reviews, even on this site, of people attempting this with other adapters yet, at the time of this writing, this is the only review of one that actually works? Hope it's helpful.
