I sent shirtless cell phone shots of myself to, like, I'd guess 300 people in 2010.
I was 29, and in the best shape I'd ever been in. In the morning, I would literally roll out of bed and onto the floor into push-up position. I could do more than 100 without stopping. I installed a pull-up bar in my garage (20+, easy). I ran two miles every day (
But today? Eww. Gross.
My precious six-pack abs have been replaced by a bulbous, splotchy ponch. My arms used to look like they were carved out of wood. Now they look like when you leave cereal in the milk for too long. My legs are barely even legs anymore --they're just blobby masses that happen to have kneecaps.
Hand to God, the last time I tried to do push-ups, I made it to nine and then couldn't stop farting. Hand to God, I own seven pair of pants but have only been able to wear two of them these past nine weeks because they're three sizes bigger than the others (I used to refer to them as my "Fat Pants"; sadly, now they are simply "pants"). Hand to God, I actually ran this past Saturday, but it was solely a matter of not wanting to die: I was crossing the street to get to a corner store to buy M&Ms that I desperately needed. I bought two packs because I couldn't decide between the peanut ones and those one with the pretzels inside. It was 9 a.m.
I'm getting old. For the first time in my life, I feel it. I have sludge in my veins. Movement is death. If I roll around too much in my sleep, I wake up winded. I don't want it this way, it just has to be. And since it's easier to reminisce than it is to do squats, I'll just continue doing that until I die.
I spent four hours listening the Blackstreet station on Pandora because it reminded of being a teenager. All that Teenage Shea had to do was sneeze three or four times and his stomach would look like Jean-Claude Van Damme's in Kickboxer. Total dick.
At any rate, some of the best moments:
Blackstreet, "Don't Leave Me"
This was the first song that came on. That's how I know God loves me.
Usher, "My Way"
This was the lead single from Usher's debut album, My Way, which came out in 1997. That album remains to be one of my all-time favorites, and definitely the greatest project Usher has ever made. I was a sophomore in high school the year it came out. I think I tried for, like, maybe two weeks to wear ski goggles as an accessory. I wasn't having a lot of sex back then.
Jodeci, "Freek'N You"
The best line from this song: "Every time I close my eyes, I wake up feeling so horny." Like, that's just some ill shit to say someone, bro. If I had a billion dollars, I'd use half of it to hire Daniel Day Lewis to act that line out 1,000 different ways. Daniel Day Lewis is AMAZING.
Related: How many times do you think the Jodeci got drunk, called 911 acting very serious and desperate, then, when asked what was wrong, responded by singing, "Every time I close my eyes, I wake up feeling so horny"? If I was in Jodeci, I'd have done that shit infinity.
Semi-related: I read on Jodeci's wiki page that they're part of a tour that will feature other groups from the 90s. There aren't enough exclamation points.
Dru Hill, "These Are The Times"
I wish Sisqo was still alive. :(
Soul For Real, "Candy Rain"
Blackstreet, "No Diggity"
Going from Soul For Real's "Candy Rain" to Blackstreet's "No Diggity" is, in no uncertain terms, the greatest come up of all-time. In 2042, when they make the new history books, this'll be in the number one spot, for sure. It'll beat out the time the Lakers flipping Vlade Divac into Kobe Bryant in 1996 and justthismuch edge out Black people turning White people into slaves. You can't run, White people. That shit is coming.
TLC, "Creep"
Definitely not the best TLC song, (that'd be "Red Light Special," duh), but it's certainly better than that shitstorm "Waterfalls." God, that song was THE WORST. What are you three even talking about? Don't go chasing waterfalls? If the song was like, "Don't go chasing bears," or "Don't go chasing lightning bolts," then I'd get it. That's good advice. But, bro, waterfalls? If I was a waterfall chaser, my catch rate would be 100 percent. They don't even move.
Dru Hill, "We're Not Making Love No More" ; Boyz II Men, "End of the Road"; Mary J. Blige, "I'm Goin' Down"; L.S.G., "My Body"
Total music erection.
Jagged Edge, "Let's Get Married"
He said, "We ain't getting' no younger, so we might as well [get married]." Print that up on a greeting card, yo. That's a winner.
Jagged Edge: Kings of Romance.
Trey Songz, "Neighbors Know My Name"
Trey Songz is the pits. You know how everyone argues that the NBA was ultra soft between the time that Jordan retired and Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant became unstoppable basketball gods? Trey Songz is like that. I mean, Vin fucking Baker was on the USA's 2000 Olympics Mens Basketball Team. Trey Songz is basically R&B's Vin Baker.
R. Kelly, "Bump and Grind"
Matthew 26:18 --Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, bumping and grinding them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Blackstreet, "I Can't Get You (Out Of My Mind)"
Probably the best song about cheating on a girl that's ever been written. Every guy that's ever been caught misappropriating a relationship (every guy, basically) has had the exact conversations had here.
He's like, "I love you because you're the best." She's like, "Nope. You cheated on me." He's like, "But, boo. I LOVE YOU. I made a mistake. Let me love you." She's like, "Nah, bro. Move around." He's like, "You were cheating too, I just didn't know." She's like, "Dude, come on. What about that one girl?" He's like, "I WAS JUST GIVING HER A RIDE." She's like, "Biiiiitch. And the other girl?" And then he's like, "Okay, you got me."
Every fucking time.
In high school I was in a relationship with this one girl for a fair amount of time. We were in love, but it was that kind of in love where the guy cheats on the girl basically every chance he gets. We ended up breaking up about two weeks after I moved to a different city to attend college. (Strange how a relationship built on lies and deception didn't hold up). We got into an email fight afterwards, and I remember sending her an annotated list of all of the times that I cheated on her while we were dating.
Again: Teenage Shea: total dick.

I was talking to a fellow member of my school's robotics team, and we got to thinking that we should build ourselves a CNC mill to machine custom parts with. While doing some research, I came across and Instructable called "How to make a mini milling machine- manual or CNC!." The design of this particular machine is very good for a small scale milling machine, and I got to thinking I could scale it down even farther- much farther. This project is the result.
This project is entered in a few contests on Instructables.com. You can vote for me in the first contest here, in the top left corner:

When you do not have time to apply your mascara and define your face well with the illuminator as an expert, these clever tricks shorten your routine beauty five minutes! So, go ahead, you have permission to sleep about 20 little minutes.
Start at night: to brighten your complexion, wash your face before going to sleep and, if necessary, use your scrub to remove dead cells. If you do not want to use (or buy) a night mask on your face apply your favorite moisturizer, for sunrise fresh and soft.
Arrange your tools: You spend a lot of time looking for the right pencil in your makeup bag. Best arrange them in your bathroom / drawer / table in a specific order, so you can use them quickly and finish in just a couple of minutes.
Rule 3: When you're in a hurry, ask yourself: What makeup tools you like take on a deserted island? We know what they think, why make when it's important to have water or food?
It is only to illustrate this step: the most important tools for your routine are what you use when you're just in a hurry. Mascara or eyeliner? Balm or lipstick?
Multipurpose Makeup: Pink lipstick can also be flush the mascara can use it to line the eyes. The fewer tools you use, you will end up faster, so take advantage!
Focus on one area of the face: You only have a minute? Concentrate all your efforts in one part of the face. Do? Lips eyes? cheeks? You decide, but have to work all you can to get attention in one step.

The diet of Middle Eastern people in Bible Times, like most traditional diets to this day, was grain based. Grain was eaten in various ways, from raw kernels plucked from the growing plant to flour products like bread and cakes. Other staples of Bible food, as we have seen in Part 1, were various legumes and vegetables. Abegail carried two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, an two hundred cakes of figs as well as other foodstuffs to David (1 Samuel 25: 18).
It was common to combine several grains along with legumes to make different flavoured and textured breads. Take for example, the bread recipe dictated by God to Ezekiel: "Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof...." (Ezekiel 4:9)
No representation is made for historical authenticity of the recipes that appear here, but they can be considered a reasonable modern analog of dishes that would have been eaten during the Biblical era.
Grain Dishes
Whole grains should be washed in a pan to remove dust. Rinse several times until the water no longer turns cloudy. Soaking some whole grains softens them, allowing faster cooking times. The cooked grains will also taste sweeter. Whole wheat, spelt rye, barley and bulgur (cracked wheat) should be soaked from 4 to 8 hours before cooking. millet does not require pre-soaking.
Cooking with approximately one pinch of salt per cup of grain will help soften and sweeten the kernels. Add salt after soaking but before cooking.
Boiled Wheat or Spelt
2 cups whole wheat or spelt kernels
6 cups water
Salt to taste
Wash and pre-soak grain
Place grain and water in a double boiler and cook until the kernels swell and burst.
An alternative method is to cook the grain in a crock in the oven. Sit the crock in a pan of water to prevent scorching the grain.
For breakfast, mix in chopped dried raisins, dates, figs, or other fried fruit.
Baked Grain
2 Cups Millet
6 Cups Water
2 Pinches of Salt
Wash and drain Millet

Boiled Bulgur Cold Water
Same as for millet, but use 4 to 5 cups of water.
Roasted Millet (Roasting gives grain a different flavour)
Place grain in a dry frying pan and dry roast for 7 to 10 minutes over
medium heat, stirring constantly. (Grains wet from washing take longer to
Roast until fragrant and lightly browned, and whole grains begin to

Breads and Cakes
Bread was the most important food in Bible times, beginning from God's command in Genesis 3:19. Bread can be classified in two basic categories: leavened and unleavened (or fermented and unfermented). Mostly unleavened bread was eaten. The bread that Sarah, Abraham's wife, baked for the visiting angels would have been unleavened, as evidenced by its short preparation time. No leavened bread was used for sacrificial offerings.
Ancient bakers used fireplaces, clay ovens, or even hot stones as a heat source. In early Bible times, real ovens were a rare commodity, and when available were often used communally (Leviticus 26: 26). You will no doubt use something more technologically advanced.
Unleavened Breads
Flat Bread
3 tbsp olive oil
5 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
1/2 tsp salt
1-1 1/2 cups cool water
Pour olive oil into water
Add olive oil and water to flour until the dough holds together without being sticky
Add salt
Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth
Let dough rest 15 minutes or longer
Roll into 1 1/2 inch diameter balls and then roll flat on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour so the rolling pin does not stick, until about 5 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick
Place in dry skillet
Toast over medium heat until brown spots begin appearing-2 to 3 minutes each side
A Simple But Tasty Unleavened Bread (this one requires a lot of chewing)
2 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. olive oil
1 cup water
Combine dry ingredients
Add oil and water
Mix thoroughly by kneading
Shape into loaves
Place in oiled pan(s) and bake for 1 1/2 hours at 350 F
(a pan of water to create steam in the baking oven is strongly recommended when baking this bread)
Unleavened Bread
3 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt per cup of flour
1 1/2 cups water
Mix flour and salt thoroughly
Gradually add water, stirring from the center until all the water is absorbed
Knead well on a bread board
Cover and let stand overnight
Divide dough into pan sized portions
The dough should feel elastic
Place in oiled bread pans
Let rise in a warm environment for several hours
Slit the top of each loaf before baking
Preheat oven to 350 F
Bake bread for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours
This bread should be eaten within 4 days unless frozen
Leaven (Yeast)
The most convenient yeast to use for leavened bread is the commercial packaged variety. In Bible times, a small amount of the bread dough was kept in an earthen vessel to start the next batch. This method is called "sourdough" for obvious reasons.
Leavened bread is made by mixing flour, water, salt and yeast into a dough. A small amount of sweetener such as honey or malt can be added to feed the yeast and speed up fermentation. Cane sugar would not have been used for baking in Bible times. Yeasted bread needs to be very thoroughly baked in order to kill all the live yeast in the dough.
Leavened Bread
3 cups warm water
1 tsp dry yeast or one cake compressed yeast
2 tbsp. barley malt or honey
7 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
1 tbsp salt
Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, adding liquids gradually until you have a medium soft dough
Bread dough is kneaded until it becomes elastic to touch and does not stick to the bread board. Kneading incorporates air in the mix and distributes the yeast uniformly.
When the desired dough consistency is achieved, the dough is covered and allowed to rise (ferment) until it has doubled in bulk--a process taking roughly two to three and a half hours, depending on the type of flour used, room temperature, the amount of yeast used, and other variables. The raised bread should still smell sweet.
When the expanded dough begins to sink when tapped sharply with a finger, it is ready for the second kneading.
An ideal temperature for bread-rising is 80 to 90 F.
Knead the bread dough again thoroughly, and leave in a bowl to rise until about three-quarters its original bulk.
Place back on the bread board
Knead lightly a third time to expel gases, and divide into
pan-size portions
Let sit for a few minutes to rise just a little
Place the bread in pans and bake.
Generally, for whole wheat bread, the oven should be preheated to 450 F, and gradually reduced to 350 and then 300 during the baking interval.
Ovens and oven thermometers are idiosyncratic, but should be hot enough so that the bread begins to brown in 15 minutes.
Baking time should be between 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
It is helpful to place a small open pan of water in the oven with the baking bread. The resulting steam will help create a good crust on the bread without burning.
Another Leavened Bread Recipe
1 tsp dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 tbsp. whole wheat or spelt flour (for yeast mixture)
5 cups warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
1 3/4 to 2 tsp. salt
14 to 17 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup of lukewarm water.
Add a small amount of flour
Let stand 10 or 15 minutes until bubbly
Add the balance of the warm water, olive oil, and salt
Mix well
Add flour gradually until the dough can no longer be stirred
Keep adding flour by hand until the dough is no longer sticky
Knead until smooth--approximately 10 to 15 minutes, adding small mounts of flour as necessary
Place in bowl and cover with a damp cloth
Place bowl in a warm environment
Let rise until dough is expanded but still sweet-smelling--about 2 to 4 hours
Form into loaves and place in oiled pans
Let rise 1 hour in a warm oven
Remove from the oven and slit the tops of the loaves
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours
Sourdough Bread
Sourdough Starter
1 tbsp. dry yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. barley malt
Combine all ingredients and place in Mason jar or similar container
Cover container with several layers of cheesecloth and place in a warm, dry environment
Uncover and stir daily for five days
After five days, starter must be stored in refrigerator to prevent excessive fermentation, but still should be stirred daily.
Add new flour and water each time starter is removed to make bread.
Sourdough Bread
1 cup sourdough starter
2 cups water
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
Combine all ingredients

The iPad outclasses heavy and cumbersome flight manuals in pretty much every measurable characteristic I can think of. I bet those pilots think Christmas has come early.
It seems to be the week for iPad pilot news — Federico Viticci has a great article over at Macstories, interviewing Erik Hess, a F-5N Tiger II pilot. Spoiler alert: he uses an iPad whilst flying. Great read and fascinating story.
British Airways aren't the only airline rolling out iPads to their staff: Qatar are getting in on some action, too.
Oh, just in case anyone was wondering where most of Samsung's Galaxy Notes have gone to, look no further than American Airlines. They've bought 17,000 of the damn things. Seems to sum up everything I've heard about AA.

Welcome to my page
Hello beautiful You! My name is Olufemi Sharp, you may call me Femi. I am a senior accredited Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of being in love with doing this work! I have a wealth of education, experience, training and wisdom both as a counselor and in life. I would love to meet with you for a 45 minute counseling/assessment session during which time we will discover your reasons for coming to counseling. At the end of the session you can decide whether to develop a relationship with me (the provider) and take counseling further.
We all need emotional support from time to time, many of us find parts of our lives difficult to sort out. Past experiences have molded some of us into the people we have become and why certain patterned behaviors exist and with greater self-awareness will inform new patterns for growth. This is how and why i became a therapist. I needed to shed limiting beliefs around lack and unhappiness. I had an inner knowing that my life was bigger than my conditions. therapy work can enable a discovery of our true essence selves and invite more abundance, love and fulfillment in life. I made a choice long ago to be a warm healing presence for others on a journey toward powerful and positive change.
We cannot always turn to family and friends for support. they mean well yet it can result in disappointment and invalidation which makes things worse. It is helpful to talk to someone in confidence who is impartial, nonjudgmental and in a safe, respectful space. We all have a story to tell. Being heard, understood, validated, supported and not judged can feel as if a heavy weight has been lifted.
Some of the issues individuals come to counseling for include a feeling of being lost, low self-esteem, elevated stress & anxiety, low mood, work stress, intimate partner violence, trauma work, others may be having challenges with managing career goals and relationships at home and work.
In an increasingly busy and stressful world it can be difficult to explore what troubles us. My clients contact me for a variety of reasons including: therapeutic support for romantic partnerships, family challenges, limiting beliefs, anxiety, depression, work life balance, stress, bereavement, fear of the future, spiritual/energy healing, loss of direction in life, low self-esteem, gender dysphoria, alternative coupling styles, gender non-conforming and many other issues.
My clients experience my approach as understanding, caring, safe, supportive, attentive, and authentic in a warm nonjudgmental space conducive for growth. I encourage individuals to explore their experiences in a way that could invite the potential for transformation and transcendence and for lasting and beneficial change to their unique situation.

One of the things I've done over the years is donate money to comics artists I thought were worth it. demian5, Tristan Farnon, Scott McCloud, and a few others. I had a subscription for a year to Modern Tales, a comics collective. I buy product instead of donating, where available: I have an old goats t-shirt and all the Scary Go Round books. (I'm waiting to buy the Sluggy books until the new versions of the first volumes are done.)
Anyway, sometime mid-last year, the webcomic review column websnark finally got me reading Narbonic. I'd tried to read it a couple times before and never connected; it wasn't until I just started from the beginning of the archives and read all the way through that I caught the bug. (I had the same experience with Sluggy, too.) Unfortunately, I've failed to convince anyone else to read it; probably in no small part because the archives are part of Modern Tales, so you have to subscribe to read them.
So I'm flush with cash these days, and it really is my absolute favorite webcomic these days, so I went ahead and sent in a much larger amount of money then I normally give to webcomic artists, in return for an original of one of the strips. Not because I really want to own original webcomic art, but just because I felt like donating and figured I might as well get something out of it.
This is a strip from February 2004, featuring Helen (a mad scientist) and Dave (her henchman/electronics technician) taking a break topside from a small (Valentine's Day?) party in their underground lair.
It's one of my favorite strips humor-wise, plus it helps set up an important plot line which only just reared its head in the last month or so and turns out to have had the set-up groundwork laid for a year or two before this comic.
It may look a little larger than real life in the picture, because it's being held well in-front of the monitor. Its actual length is very close to the height of the monitor, which is a 20" LCD.
So, anyway:

TESCO: Infant formula discounts backed by in-store promotions
UPDATE 20 October 2011: Tesco has contacted BFLG saying it has stopped this promotion following our complaint (see below). Despite this, we continue to receive reports of the same promotion, including today in the Tesco store in Fulbourn.
There have been multiple reports of Tesco promoting formula with price reductions. This is backed by point-of-sale advertising in the form of shelf talkers with the slogan 'The Big Price Drop'. The 'Big Price Drop' store-wide promotion is being promoted on the retailer's website and in emails.
The pictures below are from Burscough Branch and were taken on 26 September 2011. The website screenshot was taken on 27 September 2011.
On 1 October the promotion was reported in Tesco in Stevenage and Baldock.
On 3 October, Tesco informed BFLG it had taken action and: "There is currently no red or yellow price reduction point of sale or any "Big Price Drop" point of sale either on line or in store and we are confident all the due dilliegence measures have been issued to stores to prevent this."
On 6 October the promotion was reported in the Tesco stores in Alfreton and Fulbourn. The point of sale and price promotion was found to still be in place in Fulbourn on 20 October, despite Tesco's claims all promotions have been removed.
If you have seen the same promotion in your local store, please let us know by going to the 'report violations' section.
These practices are clear violations of the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations (see The Law section).
Restrictions on promotion of infant formula
23.—(1) No person shall at any place where any infant formula is sold by retail—...
(b) make any special display of an infant formula designed to promote sales;...
d) promote the sale of an infant formula by means of premiums, special sales, loss-leaders or tie-in sales; or
(e) undertake any other promotional activity to induce the sale of an infant formula.
Baby Milk Action has drawn the illegality of these practices to the attention of Tesco and Trading Standards on behalf of BFLG.
Products marketed for use from 4 months of age - in breach of WHO and Department of Health policy on promoting exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months of age - were being promoted on the website. These come within the scope of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes (see The Law section) as these products replace breastmilk during the first 6 months of life.
Correspondence with Tesco is given below in which it states it has ended this promotion. If you find any further examples, please report these in the 'Report violations' section.

Thank you for your email to Tesco raising concern over our recent " Big Price Drop Campaign" in connection with the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations 2007.
The Baby Milk lines were accidently included in a list of price drop lines. This was identified on Saturday by the business ahead of the campagin launching on Monday.
Stores were instructed NOT to feature any point of sale on any Baby Milk lines this was commuinicated to all our stores.
On launch it was brought to our attention that there was "Big Price Drop" point of sale featuring on our website. This was recified with immidiate effect on Monday, the lines removed from the list and the dot com point of sale removed.
There is currently no red or yellow price reduction point of sale or any "Big Price Drop" point of sale either on line or in store and we are confident all the due dilliegence measures have been issued to stores to prevent this.
As a further caution today we have written to stores instructing them to ensure that they check again that no point of sale is positioned against these lines.
We are confident that we have taken the measures to ensure that we are not in contravention of the Regulations.
Thank you for bringing to our attention.

Additional Information: I am contacting you from Baby Milk Action which monitors the marketing of breastmilk substitutes in the UK on behalf of the Baby Feeding Law Group.
We have been receiving complaints regarding Tesco promoting infant formula in its 'Big Price Drop' campaign in clear violation of the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations 2007.
We have posted details on the Baby Feeding Law Group website and indicated that we have contacted Tesco. We will also be contacting Trading Standards and calling for urgent action to stop the in-store and website promotion.

I just took photos of 3 different milks at my local Tesco which were price dropped. I brought it to the attention of the Duty Manager, explained it is illegal and will send an email to Tesco HO once I've got the pics uploaded to the pc.

Retro Culture from Gangnam Style to Brotherhood of Man
You can see his efforts here, although you might be forgiven for thinking he was having a fit and turning a fire extinguisher on him.
Oh and for those people who might accuse me of being a hypocrite for posting a kid vid after going on about people who post their kids pictures on Facebook in my recent (spoof) blog I have a confession to make. I'm a horrible hypocrite.
At least Jackson's sudden fondness for massive one hit wonder PSY's (erm) massive one hit, comes a year too late. Which makes it more retro cool. Right. A year is a long time in the fast moving world of YouTube. Already the Korean looks date.
Although not as retro as Rolf Harris. When I was not much older than Jackson we crept across the parking lot and looked into the local gym of the school to see Rolf doing questionable things with his didgeridoo on the Rolf on Saturday show.
The guest act was Brotherhood of Man. Let's just say the winners of the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest were not letting fame go to their heads. Four huge Rolls Royces were parked heavily on the weeds of the parking lot. The band sauntered into the school sports hall wearing real fur coats.
I'm not sure what happened to the Rollers but Brotherhood of Man failed to become the next ABBA. They didn't even become the next Buck's Fizz.
Curiously I was checking out reconditioned washing machines in a back street lot in Portsmouth, Virginia the other day and the salesman started talking to me. He became animated when he heard my accent.
The salesman told me he used to be married to one of the female singers in Brotherhood of Man. It didn't seem like a happy experience but the guy took to me. I was the first person who had walked into the store in years who had heard of Brotherhood of Man. If I had hung around he may have given me a discount on a recondition washing machine.
Rolf Harris had a longer shelf life, probably much longer than PSY ever will. His fame lasted for three decades. Then last month he was charged with 13 child sex offences in the UK including the indecent assault of two teenage girls in the 1980s.

CpG receptors
© BioMed Central Ltd 2001
- Published: 31 July 2001
- Dinucleotide
- Innate Immune Response
- Molecular Form
- Clear Preference
- Motif Recognition
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important for vertebrate recognition of pathogen-associated molecular forms. The receptor TLR9 is involved in the recognition of bacterial DNA by virtue of its unmethylated CpG dinucleotides. In the July 31 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Bauer et al. show that human TLR9 (hTLR9) confers responsiveness to CpG-DNA and differs from its mouse homologue (mTLR9) in CpG motif recognition (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2001, 98:9237-9242). Immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) stimulated the proliferation of TLR9-positive human B cells and the production of interleukin-8. In genetic complementation experiments, Bauer et al. demonstrated that transfection of hTLR9 into 293 cells conferred responsiveness to CpG-ODN, whereas hTLR4 expression resulted in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) recognition. Furthermore, CpG-motif responsiveness was species-specific: hTLR9 conferred responsiveness to GpG-ODN with a GTCGTT sequence, whereas mTLR9 had a clear preference for GACGTT sequences. This study provides further evidence for the important role of TLRs in the innate immune response.

Spotlight on ....
though she had hits of her own, most notably 'Cry
Me a River', there are few female interpreters
of standard songs who can compare with the exquisite
Julie London.
was born Julie Peck in Santa Rosa, California
on September 26th 1926 to Jack and Josephine,
a song and dance team. When she was three the
family moved to San Bernardino where she had her
first taste of performing - on her parents' radio
show. Before she was twenty years old she was
making a name for herself singing in Los Angeles,
to where the family had moved in 1941. In 1944,
her beauty gained her a film contract, and after
a number of 'bit' parts she started playing leading
roles in films like "Task Force" and
"The Fat Man".
Julie married her first husband in 1947; he was
Jack Webb who later became the star of the highly
successful television cop series 'Dragnet'. They
divorced in 1953.
biggest hit was the emotive song 'Cry Me A River'
which she sang in an amusing scene in the rock
and roll movie 'The Girl Can't Help It'. The song
had been suggested to her by her second husband,
the pianist / songwriter and actor Bobby Troup.
Julie married Troup on New Years' Eve 1959 and
they were together until his death in February
1999. It was a hit in the United States in 1955
and became a million seller (it hit the British
charts two years later). Troup had been instrumental
in getting Julie signed to the recently formed
Liberty record label and her big selling single
was also included on her debut album 'Julie Is
Her Name'. Her sultry and laid back renditions
of the featured romantic songs, backed only by
the guitar of jazzman Barney Kessel and Ray Leatherwood
on bass, proved extremely popular and it rose
to number two in the album charts in the US. The
album and single sold over three million copies
and resulted in Julie being voted one of the top
female singers in 1955, a feat that was repeated
in 1956 and 1957.
After her initial breakthrough she recorded prolifically
for over a decade with excellent albums such as
'Lonely Girl' in 1956, 'Calendar Girl' (which
featured songs with the names of the months in
them, for example 'September In The Rain' which
is included in this collection') later the same
year, and 'About The Blues', which she recorded
with the Russ Garcia Orchestra, continuing the
impetus. There were other exemplary albums to
follow like: 'Julie', 'Julie Is Her Name - Volume
Two', 'London By Night' and 'Your Number Please'.
Apart from the excellent music that graced all
her albums, the majority of the LP covers made
full use of Julie's extraordinary beauty; especially
'Calendar Girl' which had twelve stunning photographs
of the star - one for each month - plus a large
one on the inside of the foldout cover.
was her workload that she managed to record almost
a dozen best selling albums in five years - as
well as keeping up her acting career. She received
rave reviews in movies such as 'A Question Of
Adultery' and 'The Great Man' in which she portrayed
an alcoholic singer. She even appeared in a western,
'Man Of The West' in 1968.
Her output didn't slacken as the sixties came.
Apart from numerous television series, more often
than not with husband Troup who was also her producer,
Julie still managed to record over a dozen high
quality albums in the first half of the decade.
Examples of which are: 'Love Letters' (the title
track of which is included in this collection),
'Sophisticated Lady', 'All Through The Night'
and the sublime 'Latin In a Satin Mood'. 'All
Through The Night' contains her "jazzy"
versions of Cole Porter songs and any one of them
could be included here.
Strangely enough, despite the sheer quality and
quantity of her work, none of her albums charted
on this side of the Atlantic and 'Cry Me A River'
was her only British singles chart entry. She
has, however, been popular through the decades
and compilations of her music will always have
an appreciative market. Her career even had a
revival of sorts after Mari Wilson covered 'Cry
Me A River' in the early eighties.
new album released by E.M.I. is due out in the
shops on Monday February 6th.

I just got back from meeting with the Boys and Girls Club of Provo and we are hopefully partnering with them and going to work with the teens once a week. It is a super exciting opportunity and they are just as jazzed to have us as we are to work with them. Stay tuned for news on that.

- Introduction
- Master Bedroom and Bath to Award Winning Large Pond
- Foyer to Award Winning Small Pond
Pump House and Holding Tank
Once we reached the area of the pump house, we supported the master bedroom with an extra long steel beam in order to dig underneath for the holding tank. This tank would also be the foundation for another 4 season sunroom and be poured monolithically. As my contractor built the pump house, I laid the PVC piping in layers, carefully placing fine sand so pipes would not touch each other. I compacted each layer with abundant water spray and I pressure tested each line as they were completed. Once this was done, a french drain was placed around the retaining wall.

Future – March Madness
Future has dropped a new tune titled "March Madness," just before the tourney's tip-off in less than 24 hours. Frequent collaborator Tarantino of 808 Mafia delivers with an electronic-oriented instrumental, on which Future mixes basketball references with his usual out-of-this-world talk, metaphorically representative of being under the influence. Smooth delivery and a hypnotizing beat makes for a formidable first entry for the title of the official March Madness anthem. Listen to the track below, and be sure to head over to HYPETRAK for the latest music premieres.

By now I'm sure you're familiar with the District's hilarious "city llving, d.c. style!!" marketing campaign, designed to trick yuppies into moving to the damned hellpit that is our nation's capital. There's not much new in this article. Although this quote is funny:
"There are people out there who like living in the city," said Rich Bradley, executive director of D.C.'s Downtown Business Improvement District, "and we want them to know it's okay that they can come out of the closet."I always suspected us "breeders" were unwelcome down thar in the city.
But it was this graf that really caught my eye:
Already, some residents have poked fun at the city's effort to be hip. The publisher of an online newsletter about music and nightlife complained that some city leaders have tried to crack down on bars and restaurants that feature live music. Another resident mocked a spelling error on a flier touting an upcoming expo that is part of the marketing effort.Umm... who could that have been? In the words of Shaggy, and with about as much sincerity, "It wasn't me."

I think the intriguing thing about these paintings of broken glass bottles is that they look soft and alluring instead of dangerous and scary.

Unfortunately, the need for impromptu bar fight weapons have given broken glass a bad name. Just doing my part to find a more positive spin.

It's been a long while since I last looked at what you were working on. I'm impressed...again. I like this new direction and appreciate you staying true to the same subject matter. It's hard to use old ideas in new ways, and you've done so very successfully here.

The MP for South West Herts has defended an unpaid internship position advertised for his constituency office after being questioned by interns rights groups.
Treasury minister David Gauke has been labelled a 'hypocrite' after advertising the post at his constituency office in Rickmansworth on the Work 4 MPs website.
Gauke is responsible for ensuring HM Revenue and Customs clamp down on employers not paying interns minimum wage, but was reported by Intern Aware after the 'highly suspicious' advert was brought to their attention.
A successful applicant would have to travel to the office in Rickmansworth – for which they would get 'reasonable travel expenses' – and carry out duties such as office admin, political campaigning, fundraising, drafting leaflets and booking constituency appointments – all for free.
Speaking to the Gazette, Mr Gauke defended the six-month post, saying: "Most constituency offices rely on volunteers, and South West Herts Conservatives is no exception.
"It's advertising an opportunity to learn about office work and I believe it falls outside the scope of the national minimum wage."
When questioned as to whether the intern would be carrying out the same tasks as paid staff members, he said: "There's one full-time staff member, and there's a clear distinction between him and the volunteer, as he's paid to be there a set number of hours.
"He will be helping the training and the volunteer will be assisting him.
"We have to draw a distinction between a voluntary post in a voluntary organisation and a larger company employing a large number of people for a longer period of time.
While the post states the position is suitable for a student, recent graduate or similar, Mr Gauke said the role was open to volunteers from different life stages and backgrounds.
He said that those who had done it in the past had found it "very enjoyable and useful".

Scott and William Blackler as my executors signed and sealed this seventeenth day of February 1903 (LS) Elias Peyton In the presence of us Robert Temple (clerk in Holy order) George Roberts.
I certify the foregoing to be a correct copy of the last will of Elias Peyton.
(Listed in the margin next to this will the following)
|Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are hand-written copies of a, "last will and testament," written by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation. The originals were kept by the executor.
We, who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be.

2013 Highlights of Asian Women In Business
December 12, 2013
AWIB members and friends gathered at a lovely Flatiron apartment on Thursday to celebrate the holidays in style. Smiles were on everyone's faces as they ate and drank to their heart's content while mingling and conversing in a warm, festive atmosphere. Guests helped themselves to the seemingly endless supply of delicious Chinese and Vietnamese food while making sure to save enough room for dessert, which included ice cream from Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and cookies and red velvet cupcakes (which Bonnie baked herself!). Lucky winners of the raffle drawing walked away with cool prizes, which included dining certificates to upscale restaurants, hotel stays and a gift basket from the French beauty brand Talika. It was a lively, fun-filled evening of great food and casual networking, and if you missed this AWIB end of year party, we hope that you can attend events we have planned throughout 2014!

Our popular "Starting Your Business 101" workshop series wrapped up on December 4 with a class on financing one's business that covered the wide array of options available for funding a business, ranging from SBA-guaranteed loans to angel investing to crowdfunding.
To kick things off, Leon Terrano and Jeannie Clark from Flushing Bank unraveled the mystery behind obtaining bank loans as they told the audience what banks generally look for when screening loan applications from business owners. Next, Cindy Chin, founder and CEO of CLC Advisors, LLC, discussed the hot topic of crowdfunding and also talked about other alternative financing options including angel investing, private equity, and venture capital. She revealed some helpful hints on how to pitch one's business idea to investors, drawing from her years of experience as an advisor to various startups.
Last but certainly not least, Paul Yun, founder and CEO of Escargot NY, a New York-based smartphone accessories company, shared his personal success story of raising money through Kickstarter to launch his startup and gave the audience some useful advice for running a successful crowdfunding campaign. As usual, many of the workshop participants stayed afterward to chat one-on-one with the speakers to seek personal advice that addressed their particular situations.
Couldn't make it to the workshops this time? No worries—you can catch our "Starting Your Business 101" workshop series next year as we feature another group of awesome speakers who will share tips to help you launch and grow a successful business. And we have many other workshops planned for 2014 which will help you grow your business.
November 26, 2013
AWIB's "Marketing—On and Offline Strategies" workshop was well received despite the inclement weather which threatened the NY metropolitan area. Small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs gathered at Microsoft on November 26 to hear three marketing experts speak about effective and practical ways to promote one's business on a limited budget.
Sandy Hussain, founder and CEO of fashion startup LUXLY, kicked off the workshop with her presentation on traditional marketing strategies for startups and small businesses. Then Kunwei Lin, a digital marketing specialist who has worked at award-winning ad agencies, gave the audience a wealth of information on SEM/SEO, social media, and video marketing. Neerja Patel, founder of Neerja PR, rounded out the workshop by explaining some public relations tools that can be used to engage with customers.
As usual, the workshop ended with a networking session, during which participants had the opportunity to share information with one another and to ask the speakers additional questions. Many of the attendees commented on how useful they found the workshop to be and were pleased by the fact that all of the speakers were very willing to share helpful tips based on their own business experiences.

Once again, our "Starting Your Business 101" workshop series is proving to be extremely popular. Our November 19th workshop on "Legal Structures, Taxes and Record-keeping" had a sold-out crowd, as participants gathered at Microsoft to hear presentations by two speakers on some topics that are highly important (yet often hopelessly confusing) for small business owners and entrepreneurs: business laws, taxes, and accounting!
Both speakers for this workshop are AWIB members and have been longtime supporters of the organization. Samiya (Simi) Mir, partner at Katona & Mir, a law firm specializing in employment and business law, kicked off the workshop by giving a very articulate presentation on the various legal issues that entrepreneurs must consider when setting up and running a business. Chunyee Miot, a NYS-certified public accountant with over 10 years of experience, then delved into the nitty-gritty of tax laws and proper bookkeeping for the second half of the workshop.
Throughout both presentations, participants frequently asked thoughtful and pertinent questions, to which the speakers happily responded by giving detailed explanations and citing specific examples to illustrate their points. Both speakers were engaging and very knowledgeable, taking some dry and difficult topics and breaking them down clearly and concisely for the audience.
Like the first workshop on writing a business plan, this workshop also received unanimously positive reviews (and ran over by 30 minutes!). Most of the attendees seemed to show no signs of fatigue during the 3-hour-long workshop, as they diligently jotted down notes, asked questions during the presentations, and eagerly waited in line after the presentations to have more of their questions answered by the speakers.
Participants said that they found the workshop to be highly informative and useful, and many of them said they even received some helpful one-on-one advice from the speakers. Chunyee graciously stayed after the workshop to answer additional questions from the attendees, some of whom said they found her to be so nice and helpful that they wanted to hire her as their accountant.

AWIB and Lladró, which sells exquisite porcelain figurines hand-crafted in Spain, teamed up once again this year to celebrate Diwali, the "festival of lights." Visitors walked through the doors of the Lladró boutique on Madison Avenue to find themselves transported to a seemingly enchanted world of beautiful porcelain figurines, which ranged from depictions of Hindu gods and goddesses, to ballroom dancers, and even Japanese Kokeshi dolls. Guests strolled around the elegant white interior to view the porcelain pieces on display, often pausing to chat with other attendees while sipping a glass (or two, or three…) of champagne and snacking on delicious Indian food. Our guests commented on how inviting the store felt and thanked the Lladró staff for their wonderful hospitality.
It was a casual and fun-filled evening of networking that brought together dozens of people from all different ages, ethnicities, and professional backgrounds to share in celebrating the tradition of Diwali. Many of the guests also opted to receive free henna tattoos from the incredibly talented henna tattoo artist Sana Amir Kadri, who drew beautiful and surprisingly intricate designs in a matter of seconds.

The Writing a Business Plan workshop was a phenomenal success as speaker Alicia Yoon, co-founder of Peach and Lily (peachandlily.com), an e-commerce site that offers premium Asian beauty products, shared her insights and experiences with an attentive audience of about 40 people at Microsoft. What initially began as a presentation quickly evolved into a lively and engaging conversation among Alicia and the workshop participants as they asked her intriguing and thoughtful questions about her views on starting a business and what to consider when crafting a business plan. The workshop received very positive reviews from the attendees, who were pleased with Alicia's down-to-earth demeanor and her ability to drive home her points by skillfully weaving her personal experiences with entrepreneurship into her presentation. The workshop turned out to be a highly dynamic one - so much so that it ran 30 minutes over schedule!

The AWIB reception at Burberry was a great success as professionals of all ages and from all backgrounds enjoyed an evening of private shopping and networking at Burberry's 9 East 57th Street location. Participants perused the wide selection of Burberry merchandise while engaging in lively conversations, sipping champagne, and tasting hors d'oeuvres. The shoppers who bought items during the event got special pricing on their purchases, with a portion of the proceeds going towards AWIB's programs.

AWIB's Ninth Annual Corporate Leadership Forum co-sponsored by Credit Suisse was an evening of engaging dialogue with top Asian women executives in fields as diverse as publishing and advertising to banking and insurance. From the initial reception, to the panel discussion, and finally the meet and greet with the speakers - attendees were able to network with our panelists as well as each other. The panelists candidly discussed their experiences, the risks they took and how they have been able to balance work/life issues so that a new generation of women could learn from their journeys. As in prior years, Born to Lead continues to receive high marks by everyone.

AWIB's annual Procurement Conference once again offered ample opportunity to meet the right people: extensive exhibition area, one-on-one corporate matchmaking sessions, B2B networking and industry expert led panel discussions - all designed to help minority and women business owners grow their enterprises.
John C. Liu, Comptroller of the City of New York kick-started the conference. There were over 40 Federal, State and City exhibitors, ready to meet with vendors. Pre-qualified minority and women owned firms had private appointments with purchasing officers from Fortune 1,000 corporations. Engaging workshops gave attendees valuable insights into the government and corporate procurement processes. Attendees left the conference more knowledgeable and motivated with the tools to take their own businesses to the next level.

AWIB members received an exclusive invitation to this celebration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art! There were diverse performances celebrating Asian-Pacific Heritage Month in the Temple of Dendur followed by a reception. Guests heard from The Honorable Shigeyuki Hiroki, Ambassador and Consul General of Japan in New York who praised the MET for housing one of the world's largest collections of Asian art. We also enjoyed a private viewing of Birds in the Art of Japan. The exhibition explored how Japanese artists have depicted bird species of every variety in their works. Highlights of the exhibition included masterpieces by Kawanabe Kyosai and Fukase Masahisa. Displays of paintings were juxtaposed with examples of modern and contemporary textiles, ceramics, lacquer ware, and bamboo art. Several objects from private collections were displayed publicly in this exhibition for the first time.
April 19, 2013
AWIB hosted an Asian themed potluck dinner for members only. Guests had the unique opportunity of networking with other professional women while indulging in great food, drink and of course - company. AWIB members were able to chat in a relaxing and informal setting and got to know each other better both personally and professionally. We were happy to see the AWIB community strengthened as a result. There was a wide variety of food including: Chinese, Korean, Indian and more. See what you missed by viewing the pictures.
April 11, 2013
AWIB's Third Annual Raising the Bar forum featured prominent Asian women prosecutors. Every year, AWIB highlights Asian women legal professionals, and this year we delved into the lives of prosecutors who make life-changing decisions everyday to protect the public interest. Attendees had the unique opportunity to engage in a meaningful dialogue with a notable panel, who offered their perspectives on a profession in which Asian women are underrepresented. They discussed the challenges they faced due to their gender and ethnicity, and how they overcame those challenges by bringing their own styles and skills to a stereotypically "macho" profession. Now, at the management level, these women are paving the way for the next generation of Asian American prosecutors as their role models and mentors.

April 3, 2013
We brought back AWIB's Smart Networking workshop due to popular demand, and it was better than ever. Facilitator Liz Lynch, founder of the Center for Networking Excellence, provided practical tips to teach participants how to connect with others, 'give to get' and the art of the ask. This was an interactive workshop where attendees participated in "speed networking" to practice proven techniques for effortless networking. As a top networking strategist, speaker and author, Liz had relevant advice for everyone. She explained the importance of building relationships to last by adding your own value and the flaw in turning networking into a one-way transactional relationship. At the same time, she stressed, "The more you tell people what you are looking for, the more likely you are to find it." Attendees left the workshop feeling confident and prepared for their next networking experience.

Whether it's a small office briefing or a major presentation, the key to success depends on being confident, clear, and concise in your speech. Over the years, AWIB has helped hundreds of business owners and professionals overcome their fear of public speaking with this highly acclaimed workshop.
This workshop was led by Robyn Hatcher, owner of SpeakEtc. Robyn facilitated an intensive session where participants practiced new skills, received constructive feedback and developed techniques to make their next speaking event an effortless one.

Personal branding is a requirement for success. It is the only way to stand out with today's fierce workplace competition. Karen Kang, founder and CEO of BrandingPays LLC and author of Branding Pays: The Five-Step System to Reinvent Your Personal Brand, showed attendees how to do just that.
Karen told attendees to embrace their power instead of shying away from it, which is especially relevant for Asian women who are more likely to brush off compliments than accept their true power. Often this prevents them from thinking strategically about their own personal branding.
Karen exposed attendees to practical methodologies as a starting point to help them determine their own personal brand. She was also available to answer individual questions and to sign her new book!
Attendees raved about Karen's "engaging presentation," which left them with "tangible examples" and a "strategy [and push] to start branding."

Asian Women in Business ushered in the Year of the Snake at this exclusive viewing and reception at the Metropolitan Museum. Over 500 guests mingled over cocktails in the Met's Temple of Dendur while watching traditional ribbon and lion dance performances. Guests were treated to a private viewing of Cambodian Rattan: The Sculptures of Sopheap Pich. The exhibition featured open-weave sculptures in rattan inspired by plant life, human anatomy and subject matter all part of Cambodian culture.

Helen Foster James, illus. by Petra Brown. Sleeping Bear, $15.99
(32p) ISBN 978-1-58536-941-6
In a companion to Grandma Loves You!, a mother rabbit
and child frolic in a meadow as the mother shares assurances
of unconditional love: "My heart's full of love/ that blossoms
and grows/ from your little nose/ to those teensy toes." In
keeping with the sentimental tone of James's verse, Brown
offers a series of brightly lit, bucolic scenes that show the
rabbits sharing tender moments together (cuddling, sniffing
pink spring flowers), as well as observing and interacting
with other animals that include a mole, birds, and butterflies. Best for families with a high tolerance for the sugary
sweet. Up to age 4. (Mar.)
Alyssa Satin Capucilli, illus. by Lisa Anchin. Cartwheel, $17.99
(40p) ISBN 978-0-545-80310-6
A mother describes her boundless love for her daughter in
lullabylike verse. The mother, who is white, and her child,
who has brown skin, appear in a mix of fantastical and
everyday scenes—soaring on a fluffy cloud "airplane,"
exploring the outdoors, and dancing around a fire on the
beach. Capucilli's verse can get a bit grandiose at times ("I
will love you like the velvet-green hill loves its trees./ Like
warm, misty shadows calling, 'Nestle with me' ") but
Anchin's warm images and the strong mother-daughter
focus make this a fine pick for adoptive parents, single
moms, and other familial setups. Ages 3–5. Author's agent:
Liza Voges, Eden Street Literary. Illustrator's agent: Joanna Volpe,
New Leaf Literary & Media. (Mar.)
Meredith Costain, illus. by Polona Lovsin. Holt, $16.99 (32p)
It's all about moms—feline ones—in this playful com-panion to the dog-centric Daddies Are Awesome. Lovsin'shandsome illustrations capture the distinctive mannerisms ofmore than a dozen cat families."Mommies are clever./ They knowwhen you're sad./ They'll hug you andkiss you/ when you're feeling bad,"writes Costain in a pair of scenes; inone, a Maine coon cat envelops itschild, and a calico mother licks herkitten in the other. Animal-lovingchildren will revel in the carefuldetail Lovsin brings to her feline portraits, while motherswill appreciate the underlying moms-can-do-it-all message.
Ages 4–8. (Apr.)
David McPhail. Little, Brown, $16.99 (40p) ISBN 978-0-316-29787-5When Baby Bear asks Mother Bear to sing to him, shepromises that she will—later—which leads into a contempla-tive conversation of what promises mean. As the bears maketheir way through a forest and meadowon their way back to their den, MotherBear explains that there are somethings she can't promise, such as thatBaby Bear will always be happy. ("Yourhappiness will depend mostly on you,"she says. "But I will do everything Ican to help.") McPhail's lush natures-capes provide an expansive backdropfor the bears' intimate discussions and tender moments,which will be instantly recognizable to parents and childrenalike. Ages 4–8. Agent: Faith Hamlin, Sanford J. GreenburgerAssociates. (Mar.)
Thrity Umrigar, illus. by Ziyue Chen. Running Press, $16.99 (40p)
In her first picture book, adult author Umrigar suggests
that a mother's gifts to her child go far beyond genetics.
Alternating between scenes of the pregnant mother and her
young daughter, Chen's images exude warmth and intimacy
while helping to establish the book's cause-and-effect structure: "When I carried you in my belly,/ Grandpa baked a
chocolate cake each week.... And that is why you became...
the sweetest girl that I know." Umrigar's story celebrates a
mother's love, her daughter's individuality, and the contributions of extended family. Ages 4–8. Author's agent: Daniel
Greenberg, Levine Greenberg Rostan. Illustrator's agent: Mela
Bolinao, MB Artists. (Apr.)
Jean Reagan, illus. by Lee Wildish. Knopf, $17.99 (32p) ISBN 978-0-
Following How to Babysit a Grandma and other titles,
Reagan and Wildish introduce two brown-haired siblings
who offer tips on raising a "happy, healthy mom." The
humorous role reversals of the previous books are once again
on full display: the children help their mother get dressed in
the morning (the "perfect" outfit involves mismatched shoes,
socks on hands, and no fewer than six hair bows) and
"Surprise her with a snack and toy" when she starts to get
cranky in a long grocery store line. Loving and caring work
both ways, this duo makes clear. Ages 4–8. Author's agent:
Jamie Weiss Chilton, Andrea Brown Literary. Illustrator's agent:
Vicki Willden-Lebrecht, Bright Group. (Mar.)
Six books celebrate the connection between mothers and children.

UUP Contract Negotiations Set To Begin
An official exchange of contract proposals will be among the first steps taken at the start of contract talks. Once the State has received UUP's proposals, they will be published in The Voice and posted on the UUP website.
Provisions in the 2007-11 Agreement will remain in effect as negotiations proceed, under the Triborough Amendment to the Public Employees Fair Employment Act (the Taylor Law), all contract articles in the expired agreement continue until a new agreement is negotiated, except for provisions that end (sunset) upon expiration of the contract.
Members will continue to receive their current salaries. There will be no across-the- board salary increases until a new contract is in place, but another round of Discretionary Salary Increases (DSI) will be distributed by Dec. 31. Existing health, vision, and dental benefits will continue at their current levels.
As negotiations proceed, UUP members will be kept informed through regular website postings, mailings from President Phil Smith, and articles in The Voice. Periodic updates and other information will be sent to chapter presidents for distribution via chapter websites, newsletters, fliers, and meetings.
Members are encouraged to periodically check the UUP website (www.uupinfo.org) for postings at the "2011 Negotiations Information" link under Latest Information on the right hand side of the home page. Feel free to contact UUP Chief Negotiator Jamie Dangler at email@example.com for further information or to submit questions or comments.
