In just a few weeks, pet product manufacturers from around the world will be descending upon Orlando for the 2011 Global Pet Expo. Presented by the American Pet Products Association and the Pet Industry Distributors Association, Global Pet Expo is the pet industry's largest annual trade show, showcasing new items to help improve cats' lives.
Below, pet lifestyle expert Tierra Bonaldi provides us with a sneak peek of some of the hottest new cat items.
Functional and Fashionable Cat Products
Clunky, unattractive cat scratchers, cat trees and more are being phased out in favor of stylish replacements. "There is a huge trend in pet products that can both accent home decor, but still be practical," says Bonaldi.
Good Cat Health Is Always in Style
Many of the new products that will be featured at the expo help to promote cat health, such as pet foods made out of quality ingredients. "Pet owners are shifting to healthier eating options, like all-natural and organic, and that is extending to the products they are feeding their animals," explains Bonaldi.
How and what cats drink is also gaining new attention this year, as evidenced by products such as the following:
Cat Litter Box Odors Erased
Another group of products is helping owners with the dreaded litter-box maintenance and clean-up chores.
These are just a few of the more than 3,000 new products that will be showcased at this year's Global Pet Expo, which boasts 11 football fields' worth of pet products. The event will take place from March 16 to 18 at the Orange County Convention Center. For more information, visit the Global Pet Expo website.

Warming Up 2012
My first car was a red Hyundai Pony hatchback (with the black silhouettes of a stallion reared up on its hind legs near the rear windows). In order to get it started, you had to use the choke (which always made me feel like I was driving a tractor). Patiently, I'd wait for the engine to warm up enough that I could back out of the driveway and put it into drive without stalling. Then I needed to make sure I could accelerate a good distance without slowing or else, once again, I risked stalling. But once you got it going, it was a good little car. You just needed to work through those first five minutes, coaxing it into life, with a number of false starts before you're running smoothly.
Starting 2012 has been like revving up the old Pony: a number of stalls, not quite getting anywhere just yet, but being patient until the engine finally finds its steady thrum. There's a lot of "almost ready" in the air: the Christmas decor is down, but the house hasn't had a full post-holiday cleaning; the festive foods are gone and real groceries bought, but I'm still trying to get back into regular meal-making and consuming; and I keep planning to go to the art supply store, but I don't really know what I want to get.
Besides being distracted by new books from Santa, I hadn't been able to sort out why I haven't been working on new projects in my spare time. Part of it, I suppose, is that I wanted to work on something different for my next project. And I have a project started that I was having fun with, but I was working on it while Ludo was sick. In fact, it kept me occupied while he slept on the couch beside me. I imagine my subconsciously relating that project to his last days has turned me off the whole thing. For now.
And that's ok.
I will let the creativity simmer slowly. In the meantime, I have other new year kinks to work out. Like getting back to exercising *sigh*. And making healthy meals. And cleaning my office. And just having a proper routine in place in general.
So if you're wondering where I am, I'm just letting the engine warm up.
OMG, you had a Hyundai? I did
OMG, you had a Hyundai? I did too, ages ago when we lived in Vancouver. What a lemon that thing was. I traded it in for a Toyota. 'nuff said on that topic.
It IS only ten days into the new year, so I think your not a total loss. Yet. I still have some things to get done to have well and truly put 2011 behind me. I'll get to them. Eventually. Maybe .........
I hear ya.
I started the new year with a virus and a deadline for a sculpture, which is not a good combination. I'm struggling with the urge to just go back to bed!
Oh, well. Let's see what warming up will do for us, eh?
I feel the same as you,
I feel the same as you, sputtering but not hopeless as of yet. 2011 ended poorly and this year has started out on a sad note as well. :sigh: Perhaps it is some sort of cosmic rest stop where we just need to get *off* this crazy journey and just wonder a bit. Good luck with warming up your engine ...
warming up
Well you're warming up in January! I'd say that's pretty good! This Undertaker's ole engine sometimes takes until mid-August before it starts humming along productively! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (sputter, sputter, coughhhhhhh)
Cover, simmer, and stir occasionally...
I think this is only too common for creative types, especially after the year you've just had. Putting the emotional challenges life threw at you last year aside, you really rocked out your window of shows for 2011, and that has to take its toll in some way. You've had output. Serious OUTPUT! And not a lot of artist can say they dropped as many new pieces last year as you did (and within such a time frame).
You're definitely recharging - and that's good. Just keep stoking those creative fires and hit it hard when the time feels right.
I have been feeling the same way...almost there but not quite. I actually sat at the bench over the weekend and forced myself to push some clay around...several duds and one promising new beastie to show for the effort.
Keep coaxing the engines of creativity...2012 looks to be fueling up for some good fun.
It's February....
Are you warmed up yet?:)

Obama pushing Kenyan 'peace' projects
Plans in place to stage 'reflective workshops' for murderous tribes
The Obama administration is launching new peace initiatives in and around Kenya, but acknowledges that chronic cattle rustling and other cultural practices – such as killing rivals "to prove their manhood or impress young women" – serve as impediments to progress.
Obama, through the U.S. Agency for International Development, nonetheless intends to hire private contractors that would, hypothetically, offer services such as "reflective workshops" and "trauma education" to warring clans and tribes, according to an agency concept paper that WND located through routine database research.
The purpose of such providing services is to encourage empathy between "victims" and "perpetrators" – terms that the document repeatedly encloses in quotation marks to emphasize USAID's position that so-called "perpetrators" also have endured trauma.
Exchanging "trauma stories" between hostile groups is a critical step in the community healing process, USAID says, as this sharing helps to raise awareness that "victims" are often the "perpetrators," particularly when they carry out acts of revenge. This approach is one of several that USAID is proposing.
The "PEACE III" concept paper offers detailed ideas aimed at promoting stability across East African border regions. USAID recently released the paper to solicit feedback from contractors on various "theories of change" that could be implemented as part of future Horn of Africa peace and reconciliation programs.
The Obama administration hopes to create "healing peace-building cycles" that ultimately will replace "cycles of violence," particularly along multiple conflict-prone points on the Kenya-Uganda, Kenya-South Sudan, Kenya-Ethiopia, Kenya-Somalia, and Ethiopia-South Sudan borders.
USAID said in the document that attaining such stability "is a central U.S. foreign policy and development priority in the context of regional security and economic integration."
The agency acknowledges that the task ahead will be difficult, as "certain cultural practices and norms" in the Horn of Africa "may encourage acts of violence."
"For example, in the western border areas, spiritual leaders bless the warriors before and after cattle raids," the concept paper says. "A warrior is believed to have defended the pride of his clan and proven his manhood when he murders a man from the enemy tribe/clan.
"Songs and dances prepared for such warriors stir other warriors and young men to engage in murder and cattle raids. Women rebuke the warriors who have not been successful in raids rousing them to raid again," the paper points out.
Despite the cultural, political, and economic challenges to successfully implementing conflict management programs, USAID says it had identified a "multitude of determined, credible, and committed actors at the regional, national, and local levels" that in the long term could help bring more "stability, peace, and prosperity to this part of the world."
"The region is also witnessing a shift in national government commitment to peaceful management of conflicts," the agency added.
Community peace-building efforts have led to some security improvements, especially in areas such as the Kenya-Somalia border, USAID says. Community leaders – including women, religious, business, youth, and elders – have helped mediate disputes before they escalate, thereby changing cultural practices that often lead to inter-communal violence.
Weaker governments, however, sometimes view these informal systems as rivals. Rather than supporting those systems, such governments attempt to undermine or simply ignore them, dismissing such organizations and activities as irrelevant.
"In several locations, most notably Kenya, the government has even sought to institutionalize this governance partnership nationally, via local peace and development committees," the document says. The PEACE III initiative consequently will "focus on catalyzing the emergence and development of local peace-building networks in volatile border areas."
Despite proposed cuts in U.S. foreign assistance to most nations – including Kenya – the Obama administration nonetheless has sought to hire contractors to sustain other contractors that already carry out voluminous projects in that nation.
As WND also has reported, USAID under Obama likewise launched a propaganda program aimed at swaying national and international opinion to support Kenya-related U.S. programs.
Following that WND report – which exposed federal plans to target specific journalists – the Obama administration sanitized its FedBizOpps contracting database of all traces of that and other Kenya-centric procurement documents.
In a separate, recent solicitation, USAID is recruiting a Program Officer-Kenya for its Office of Transition Initiatives, where the private contractor would serve for the remainder of OTI's scheduled stay in Kenya. The position in mid-2013 will transition to USAID-Kenya's Education & Youth Office.
OTI had established a Nairobi-based presence as part of Obama's "support of the February 28, 2008, peace accord between competing political parties in the wake of inter-ethnic violence following flawed national elections in December 2007," the personal services contractor solicitation says.
One of the key responsibilities of the Program Officer-Kenya will be to "represent program interests with USAID Mission personnel, U.S. Embassy staff, Department of State, and Department of Defense personnel." In addition to needing a top secret-level security clearance, potential candidates who are dual citizens "may be asked to renounce second-country citizenship."
The position, which pays in the $84,697-$110,104 range, also involves providing guidance to and oversight of contractors carrying out the Support Which Implements Fast Transition, or SWIFT III, initiative.
SWIFT III is a $1.5 billion worldwide USAID program whose goal is to "support U.S. foreign policy objectives by helping local partners advance peace and democracy in priority countries in crisis."
USAID additionally has launched an information-gathering initiative to identify local and regional consultants and organizations to provide future short- and long-term "technical services and capacity building assistance." This would include services specific to agency cross-border peace projects to the USAID/East Africa mission in Nairobi.
The agency's search for potential help via this Request for Information is not limited to Kenya, however; indeed, the RFI likewise seeks to compile a comprehensive list of consultants to potentially work with other USAID regional offices and partners in Somalia, Djibouti, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic and Tanzania.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score as the New England Patriots embarrassed the New York Jets with a 35-point second quarter in a 49-19 victory Thursday night.
After a scoreless opening quarter, the Patriots (8-3) went on a touchdown spree while taking advantage of several mistakes by the hapless Jets (4-7). New England scored four touchdowns in just over 6 minutes - including three in a 52-second span.
Julian Edelman returned a fumble for a touchdown and caught a 56-yard pass for a score before leaving with a head injury. Shane Vereen caught an 83-yard scoring pass, Steve Gregory had a 32-yard fumble return for a TD, Stevan Ridley had a 9-yard run and Wes Welker had a 3-yard scoring grab that helped make Bill Belichick the eighth NFL coach with 200 career victories, including the playoffs.

Boost immunity and eat well with these tasty dishes.
Pro triathletes don't just focus on their training regimens; they also carefully plan their post-training or race nutrition to maximize their ability to recover and boost their immune systems. As cold season approaches, pay special attention to your nutritional choices to help your body fight off small bugs and keep your energy up for racing, training and life. Try these recipes filled with foods that will help you recover like a pro.
Ginger, Honey and Curry Salmon
Omega-3-rich foods have been linked to decreased inflammation, muscle soreness, colds and upper respiratory infections. Salmon, halibut, flaxseeds, walnuts and edamame are popular sources of omega-3s. Tumeric, found in most curry powders, and ginger are natural anti-inflammatories and add great flavor to this recipe. Honey, also known as an anti-inflammatory, contributes muscle-repairing carbohydrates.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon fresh crushed ginger, 2 teaspoons curry powder and ½ teaspoon salt. Rub this mixture over 20 ounces of salmon with the skin on, then wrap in foil and let rest for 20 minutes. Skin side facing down, grill on medium-high heat or bake at 400 degrees for 20–25 minutes until the salmon is just underdone. It pairs well with the kale salad (see next page).

ASC wins $3.6 million grant to expand access to scientific fields
The U.S. Department of Education awarded Adams State College a $3.6 million grant from the Hispanic Serving Institutions STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Entitled Increasing Student Engagement and Success in STEM, the five-year grant will fund several initiatives to help more Hispanic and low-income students earn a STEM degree, according to Dr. Michael Mumper, Adams State senior vice president for Enrollment Management and Program Development.
"We have identified three strategies to help us increase the annual award of STEM degrees by 50% and to triple STEM degrees awarded to Hispanic students," Mumper said. This year's award totals $869,849; the total grant amount is $3,630,551.
The comprehensive proposal was developed in close consultation with all Adams State science and mathematics faculty. Those instrumental in the successful grant application include Dr. Matt Nehring, Professor of Physics and Chair of the Department of Chemistry, Computer Science and Mathematics; Dr. Benita Brink, Associate Professor of Biology and Chair of the Department of Biology and Earth Sciences; Grant Specialist Tawney Becker; and Lillian Gomez, director of Adams State's Title V program.
"Outreach, academic support, and student engagement are the three areas we will focus on to promote student success in STEM," Gomez said. The project will upgrade Adams State facilities and equipment to better serve students and support the new programming. Specific activities include summer programs, seminars, tutoring, a new STEM tutoring center, curriculum reform, and undergraduate research.
The grant will fund a Project Director, Activity Director, and Project Specialist. Nehring will be the principal investigator for the project and help coordinate program activities with other faculty.
National need for more students in STEM fields
Adams State offers four STEM majors with 16 specializations that currently enroll 285 majors: biology, chemistry, earth sciences, and mathematics.
"Adams State is the central STEM resource in the vast, rural region of southern Colorado," Mumper added. "We are positioned to deliver far-reaching - even ground-breaking - services in STEM, especially for Hispanic and low-income students."
According to the Center for Urban Education, Hispanics constituted 19 percent of the college-aged (age 18-24) population in 2006, but received only 8 percent of the bachelor's degrees, 3.5 percent of the master's degrees, and 4.4 percent of the doctorates in STEM fields.
Eighty-one Adams State students - including 15 Hispanics - earned a STEM bachelor's degree between 2007 and 2009, representing 9 percent of the 865 total degrees awarded. At Adams State, the undergraduate student body that is 33 percent Hispanic, and 18 percent (annual average) of STEM graduates are Hispanic, which is comparable to the national average, Becker noted.
Academic support for STEM students
The grant's largest component is construction of a new STEM Tutoring Center on the third floor of Porter Hall, the college's math and sciences building, at a cost of $815,500.
"Our vision is to create an environment that is supportive of STEM students, socially as well as academically, and that offers access to tutoring services and peer and faculty support," Mumper said.
The multipurpose tutoring center will encourage STEM students to engage in group study, meet with faculty, work with peer tutors, and collaborate and connect with other STEM students. The center will include a commons area, an open study area with four smaller individual tutoring rooms and one larger group tutoring room, and an undergraduate research lab outfitted with instruments for interdisciplinary STEM research.
"The STEM project will also permit us to replace outdated and worn equipment to support hands-on study and research across the entire STEM curriculum," Brink noted.
The grant will fund upgrades to Adams State's greenhouse and to purchase versatile and expensive instrumentation, such as a modern X-ray diffraction system that costs more than $90,000. Laboratory ovens and furnaces, computers, software, supercomputers for math, microscopes, electronic balances, centrifuges, and a range of equipment for molecular biology will also be purchased and/or upgraded.
Exposing kids to science
By expanding its outreach, the college hopes to cultivate more interest in STEM careers and postsecondary education among area youth.
"With the STEM grant, Adams State will enhance our facilities and programs to give area students a view into the world of science that may otherwise be inaccessible to them, due to financial and geographical reasons," Nehring said. "The central unifying component unique to the ASC proposal is an astronomy and space-based theme. The field of astronomy lends itself perfectly to this objective, because it connects all STEM disciplines and is historically appealing to K-12 students and the general public.""
Adams State's Zacheis Planetarium will receive a $400,000 upgrade with a state-of-the-art projection system and new seating. New programs on tap include Black Holes, 23 Tales of the Maya Skies, and Field Trip to the Moon, currently shown nationally in major museums. Zacheis Planetarium shows will continue to be shown free of charge, and periodically in Spanish, as well.
In addition, nationally recognized speakers will engage the campus and community in an exploration of the cosmos. Young visitors to the Edward M. Ryan Geological Museum, housed in Porter Hall, will become more engaged through new, museum-quality educational touch-screen systems. During the 2013/14 academic year, a new observatory will be built on the north end of campus at a cost of $120,000 to provide excellent viewing of the night sky.
Beginning in 2012, a summer STEM Academy will be created for 20-30 area high school students entering the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Admission criteria will encourage Hispanic and low-income students. This annual on-campus summer residential program will pique student curiosity and enthusiasm through hands-on learning in the science labs, greenhouse, planetarium and observatory.
"The hope is that by developing a sustained relationship with many of our excellent Valley students, many of them will seek out opportunities and careers in STEM," said Nehring.
HSI grants total $14 million
The HSI STEM grant brings Adams State's total of Title V HSI grants to more than $14.1 million. Adams State was the first college in the state to earn federal HSI designation, which requires a minimum of 25 percent Hispanic enrollment.
"Title V grants have allowed us to raise awareness of diversity issues and needs on campus," said Adam State President David Svaldi. "Title V funding has helped ASC improve resources, facilities, and teaching, and provide new opportunities. The results benefit all students"
The college's first Title V grant, for $1.96 million awarded in 2000, created CELT - ASC's Center for Equity in Learning in Teaching. This faculty development program raises diversity issues and awareness and trains faculty in active learning techniques.
A second, five-year cooperative Title V grant for $3.4 million was awarded in 2005 to Adams State College, Trinidad State and Otero junior colleges to expand educational access for Hispanic students. CELT continued as a cornerstone of that grant.
Last fall, Adams State was awarded a $3.18 million grant from Title V that is further supporting student success. In addition to continued faculty development through CELT, this grant is funding acquisition of new instructional and assistive technology, as well as construction of a Student Success Center on the first floor of the Nielson Library. A third component of the grant designed to help prepare students for college-level studies, the five-week Fast Track program, launched this summer with 20 freshmen.

"Slice of life" refers to a short story (or a narrative poem) that contains a very short sequence of events. The term is actually a metaphor; imagine a very sharp knife actually cutting a tiny and very thin slice from the whole of a person's experiences. That little section, in a writer's hands, would be a slice of life story.
The Writing Challenge is tailor-made for slice of life stories. How many of us have bemoaned the fact that we didn't have enough words to fully develop our entries? One solution is to write a slice of life. In such a story, you don't have to worry about extensive plot development, and there's little or no exposition. You can forget all of my nifty lessons on conflict—there's not much of that either (however, see point #4 below).
So…if there's no plot to speak of, no exposition, little conflict, no resolution—what's in a slice of life? Well, there's a character, obviously…maybe two, but no more than that. So if you write a slice of life, you'll definitely want to work on characterization. Ask yourself—what happened in this particular moment that I can use to show my reader what my character is like?
A slice of life story is also a fine place to work on atmosphere, but don't spend the whole story describing the draperies. It's a slice of life, after all.
How much time should a slice of life cover? Well, there's no hard-and-fast rule. It could be mere seconds, or up to several minutes or hours, or even a day. Much more than that, however, and it's not a slice any more—it's the whole pizza.
As far as what goes into a slice of life story…that's as varied as life itself. It could be something as simple as your main character watching a bird land at his windowsill. The defining criteria:
1. Have a reason for choosing that moment. It should shine a light, somehow, on your character's soul.
2. Make it compelling reading. If you do choose to write about your character watching a bird, it should be a really interesting bird (or the actions of the fellow watching it should be).
3. If your slice of life is a dialogue between two characters—elevate it beyond ordinary conversation somehow. I've read lots of pieces that consist entirely of conversations between two characters, lasting only a few minutes in real time…but they simply haven't pulled me in. They're ordinary. I have hundreds of conversations every day, but few (if any) of them would make compelling reading.
4. Hint at some conflict. You might hint at the origins of a conflict, or at the resolution of an implied conflict—in my opinion, the best stories have at least a smidgeon of conflict. I've said it before—conflict pulls your reader into the story.
An example of a slice of life in literature is Walter de la Mare's The Listeners. Nothing much happens here: A traveler knocks on a door a few times, his horse stomps its feet, some ghosts watch from a window, the traveler rides away. But it's a masterpiece of mood, and it's well worth reading.
Sheri Gordon's challenge entry Her Tree is another lovely slice of life. Again, there's not much action: An old lady listens to the sounds of a tree being felled. Then she hears different sounds. And that's it—except there's so much more than that! Read it—you won't be sorry.
Finally, my story Little One, Relax covers the events in one day of a foster mother and her child. All ordinary events—getting dressed, eating lunch, playing outside—but they reveal my protagonist's character.
Homework: Discuss something I've written in this lesson.
OR link to a slice of life story. If you link, please tell us about your story? Why did you write it? What do you like about it?
I'm nearly at the end of my alphabetical list of terms. A few of you have given me some suggestions on what to do next, and I'm still mulling those over. But I'd welcome additional suggestions, please.
Next week: Stream of Consciousness

"I tried a number of music projects in big cities, thinking that was necessary for a music career," Mila said this week. "But changes in th record industry, especially the rise of independent record labels, makes it possible to live outside the cities. I can choose to live where I want to."
When Mila left Spokane four years ago, he headed for the East Coast. Then he went to London where he wrote songs with his sister, Pearl Harbor, formerly of the English punk band, Pearl Harbor and the explosions.
Following their unsuccesful efforts to put a band together, Mila returned to the States and took up residence in Seattle. But when he found that his home-made debut LP was good enough not only to land a contract with a small Arizona record company but also to win rave reviews, he decided to return to a quieter place.
"Cities lend a lot of uptightness to music," he said. "They lend another air to what I'm doing and I'd rather not be there."
Mil's first two LPs, "Sky Without End" and "Night Jasmine" have been well received by publications like Guitar Player and Jazziz. Guitar Player devoted a full page to an interview (in which Mila was careful to get in a good work for Buzz Vineyard, the Spokane guitar-maker who built his arch-top acoustic).
People who purchased Delta Lightening also bought:
Night Jasmine in June $12.98

The CW has announced "The Carrie Dairies" premiere date, which also involves a little tweaking of the current line-up. "The Carrie Dairies" will premiere Monday, January 14 at 8 pm. That means that "90210" will be bumped up to the 9 pm time slot.
The majority of CW primetime series will return January 14 from the holiday break with all-new original episodes.
While "The Carrie Dairies" acts like a prequel to "Sex and the City," people who've never even seen an episode of the old Manhattan series will enjoy "The Carrie Dairies" all the same. It has all the makings to replace beloved "Gossip Girl" with eighties swag, glamorous wardrobes, sexy boys with equally hot names (Sebastian Kydd, anyone?) and a lovable heroine. AnnaSophia Robb plays the young Carrie Bradshaw and does a brilliant job at balancing innocence and smarts. Read the full synopsis below, and let's begin the countdown to some Manhattan fun.
Full Synopsis: "The Carrie Diaries" takes place in 1984, where life is not easy for 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw. Since their mother passed away, Carrie's younger sister Dorritt is more rebellious than ever, and their father Tom is overwhelmed with the responsibility of suddenly having to care for two teenage girls on his own. Carrie's friends – sweet, geeky Mouse, sarcastic and self-assured Maggie and sensitive Walt – make life bearable, but a suburban life in Connecticut isn't doing much to take her mind off her troubles.
And even though the arrival of a sexy new transfer student named Sebastian brings some excitement to Carrie's world, she is struggling to move on from her grief. So when Tom offers Carrie the chance to intern at a law firm in Manhattan, she leaps at the chance. Carrie's eyes are opened wide at the glamour and grit of New York City – and when she meets Larissa, the style editor for Interview magazine, she's inspired by the club culture and unique individuals that make up Larissa's world. Carrie's friends and family may have a big place in her heart, but she's fallen in love for the first time with the most important man in her life – Manhattan.

Rural Carthage business owner Mike Cloud said the Jasper County Health Department unfairly blocked his efforts to expand his business into a new location just across Fir Road from the Carthage city limits.
Rural Carthage business owner Mike Cloud said the Jasper County Health Department unfairly blocked his efforts to expand his business into a new location just across Fir Road from the Carthage city limits.
Jasper County Health Department director Tony Moehr said Cloud and his son, Andy Cloud, misunderstood what the health department inspector was telling them about whether he could operate a business that makes and sells deli sandwiches, in addition to selling processed and packaged meat products from Cloud's plant, at a location that has inadequate septic service.
Cloud spoke to the Jasper County Commissioners and presented a letter in which he described his efforts to open a store at 535 Fir Road to sell meat processed at his plant on Fairview Avenue just west of Carthage.
He said he first contacted the Jasper County Health Department in April to discuss opening a restaurant in the location on Fir Road, but was immediately told the building's septic system could not handle the water usage.
Mike Cloud said he planned to open his new store on June 4, but started running into problems with the health department on May 11 when Andy Cloud took the new business application to the health department and was told someone would call them.
"We called back four more times in the next two weeks and asked for a return call," Mike Cloud wrote. "Finally on the fifth try, I was able to talk to Steve (McKarus, health department environmental supervisor). I told him that I felt the business was about ready for inspection. That was when he told me he had not yet decided to allow us to even open the business. I was completely shocked by this statement and the arrogance of the way he said it.
"I had talked to the health department and received instruction on what was needed. I had done everything that was required and he had the audacity to say he had not decided, after sitting on my application for two weeks."
Cloud said he called Jasper County Eastern District Commissioner Jim Honey about the conversation and Honey said he would check on the situation.
A few minutes later, McKarus called back and said he would allow him to open the market.
All was well until the final inspection on Friday, June 1 when McKarus told the Clouds they could sell processed, packaged foods, but could not sell deli products because of the impact on the septic system.
"I said deli sandwiches didn't require any more water than the deli and it was all the same," Cloud said. "He said well, if it's all the same then you can't do the deli either. He said it with the same arrogance that I had already heard before."
Moehr said the main issue is the capacity of the septic system on the property and the best solution would be for the property to be annexed into Carthage and be added to the city's waste water treatment system.
Carthage City Administrator Tom Short, who attended the meeting, said the building is not in the city limits so the city cannot extend sewer service to the property.
Moehr, McKarus and Cloud all met privately after the commission meeting and both sides said they would work together to find a solution.
Moehr and Cloud said there had been miscommunication on both sides.
In other business, Blaine Mitchell, who is running for the Republican nomination for Eastern District Jasper County Commissioner, presented a letter to the commission in response to Prosecutor Dean Dankelson's letter asking the Missouri Attorney General to investigate allegations that Sheriff Archie Dunn had used county property to further his bid for reelection.
Mitchell asked for an investigation of what he said were past instances of county officials using county property in campaign ads.
He also asked for other investigations, including into whether Attorney Norman Rouse refused to take a random drug test and whether Commissioner John Bartosh held an illegal closed commission meeting on May 22.
Rouse responded after the meeting by saying he had never refused to take a drug test and had been tested before.
Western District Commissioner Darieus Adams said elected county officials are exempt from drug testing because a positive drug test result is not grounds to remove an elected official.
As for the closed meeting, Bartosh said there was no meeting, just an informal discussion which included Rouse and County Auditor Richard Webster. No other commissioners were with the group.
The commissioners also approved a $1,062,491 contract with Snyder Bridge of Joplin for eight bridge projects on county roads.

ASCAP, BMI And SESAC Continue To Screw Over Most Songwriters: 'Write A Hit Song If You Want Money'
from the well-that's-just-great dept
"Basically, we don't know," said Dave Ascher, the SESAC Music Licensing Consultant who sent the letters. "To make a long story short, there's no way, logistically, for us to know whether on a day-to-day basis they're playing SESAC music."But, just in case, you need to pay up. Of course, rather than doing that, the venues are just giving up on live music, providing fewer places for musicians to perform, hone their craft, and build up a following (and a business model).
As for the claim that these organizations help bring in money for those musicians, well, that's not seen either. We've already seen how they only give money to big name artists in most cases, because that's all they're able to track. In fact, the article talks to one musician who's upset about all the venues closing, but is still registering his songs with ASCAP. When asked if he's received any royalty check at all, the answer was no. So, how do the collections organizations respond? They tell them to become more famous:
"I'm sorry to hear that, but what I would like to tell him is that he needs to write a hit song," BMI's Bailey said.How nice. They funnel all the money to big name artists, force venues to close so new artists can't become famous, and then when asked about giving money to those up-and-coming artists, they flippantly tell them to become more famous.
At some point, musicians and songwriters need to learn that these organizations are not doing things in their best interests at all. They're simply bureaucracies to funnel money to big names, while limiting the competition.

He always gets confused whilst praying [as to how many rak'ahs he has done]. Should he act on the basis of what he is certain of or what he thinks is most likely? This happens to him a lot, so should he forgo doing sujood al-sahw (prostration of forgetfulness) in order to ward off waswaas (insinuating whispers from the Shaytaan)?
Praise be to Allaah.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
He should not pay attention to those doubts and he should not do sujood al-sahw for them, because too many doubts lead to waswaas.

If given the choice between staring blankly into space or reading architects' office statements on their website, we choose the first. They all say the same thing: we're sustainable, responsible with budgets, experienced, award-winning, etc. . . . The game seems to be how to say nothing in particular and comfort any worries of someone contemplating hiring you. After a few clicks, it's hard not to think that all this quote-unquote professionalism is very cold at its core. We can't tell you exactly when MOS started. We like to say it was 2003, but we didn't have an office space then and our name was !@#?, which we quickly found was too difficult to use because 1. you couldn't pronounce it and 2. you couldn't get a web address. So, eventually, we drifted towards MOS—an acronym of our names and reflection of a shared desire to be horizontal and fuzzy, as opposed to tall and shiny. We began around an oversized table, a surface for collecting and working through a range of design experiments—a make-believe of architectural fantasies, problems, and thoughts. As we've grown, we remain around a large table, working together on each project through playful experimentation and serious research. This website indexes that work: housing; schools; houses; cultural institutions; retail; exhibition design; installations; furniture; objects; books; writing; software experiments; and videos.

Lugar '54 Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom
In a White House ceremony on November 20, Denison alumnus and former U.S. Sen. Richard G. Lugar '54 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, which recognizes individuals for "meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."
Lugar joined 15 others this year in receiving the prestigious award. Other 2013 recipients included television celebrity Oprah Winfrey; baseball Hall of Famer Ernie Banks; former President Bill Clinton; the late astronaut and physicist Sally Ride; and writer and activist Gloria Steinem.
"These are the men and women who, in their extraordinary lives, remind us all of the beauty of the human spirit, the values that define us as Americans, the potential that lives inside of all of us," President Obama said.
"These are the men and women who, in their extraordinary lives, remind us all of the beauty of the human spirit, the values that define us as Americans, the potential that lives inside of all of us,"
Lugar, a Denison trustee and Rhodes Scholar, was praised for his more than 30 years of public service as a representative of Indiana in the U.S. Senate, during which time he was often heralded for crossing the political aisle in order to create bipartisan collaboration. One such collaborative effort came when Lugar teamed up with Sen. Sam Nunn to create the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program in the Soviet Union. The program was so successful at reducing nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons there, that Congress expanded the program globally. Lugar is currently the president of the Lugar Center, an organization aimed at educating policy makers and the public on world issues, such as food and energy security, global development, bipartisan politics, and the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Denison's Richard G. Lugar Program in Politics and Public Service — which affords students opportunities to explore careers in public policy and government through coursework, internships, and visits to campus by former members of Congress — is named in his honor. And the Richard G. Lugar Symposium in Public Policy at Denison, a prestigious speaker series that brings prominent public servants and opinion leaders to campus to address issues of national and international concern, was established through gifts from members of the Class of 1954 to honor their distinguished classmate.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom was created by President John F. Kennedy 50 years ago. Only 500 individuals have been honored in that time. Past recipients have included Mother Teresa, Former United Kingdom Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, former President Ronald Reagan, artist Georgia O'Keeffe, author Toni Morrison, musicians Count Basie and Bob Dylan, philanthropist and economist Warren Buffett, activists César Chávez and Rosa Parks, and former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill.

The Lowrider community lost one of its OG Godfathers this past December 18th. Orlie Coca will be missed by many who were fortunate in hearing real stories of what got Lowriding from the back streets to Main Street from his perspective. His dedication to the industry started during the infancy stages of Lowriders with new age hydraulic suspensions. His ingenuity and work ethics kicked off mass production of hydraulic parts. You could go to one of his eight stores and pick up what in years before, was only found on back of tailgate trucks, or old aircraft hydraulic parts pulled from air craft surplus and air field junk yards.
In 1978, Orlie began his Lowrider journey in Bellflower California, where he and other hydraulic veteranos, Pump Man Eddie, Traveling Tony Parker, Wayne "Big Hauncho" Day, to name a few, began to work on and try out hydraulic components in the pursuit to master this fast growing motorsport. Orlie would organize car-hopping contests, which was one of Orlies true passions. This would inspire Orlie to begin his very own brand of car hydraulics. His experience and skill set in car hopping eventually earned Orlie recognition as the "Godfather of Hydraulics".
Orlie also shared a great passion of promoting the Lowrider movement, and in 1991, Orlies Lowriding Magazine was introduced. With the help of family members Lupe Coca, Art Coca and Sandy Coca, the magazine became an instant success, covering shows and events where ever he could travel. His magazine was a people's publication, winning the hearts of thousands. His business and personal adventures made him who he was. In business, they say you don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate, well Orlie was a master at that and though he was good in business, he was great as a husband to his wife of well over 50 years, Guadalupe, who passed in 2009. As a father to Arthur, David, Chris, Steve, Sandy, and Kathy, and to his Grandchildren, and Great Grand Children, he was bigger than life. His true testament won't only be his hydraulics; it will be his family that carries a part of him through their journey as well.
With Orlies passing, The Lowrider community decided to give him a well-deserved tribute in his honor. Car clubs and individual riders came from near and far for his final cruise in the streets of Phoenix, including a cruise by his shop and his home just blocks away. Never in the history of Arizona Lowriding, did so many pay tribute to one individual cut from the same cloth. Individuals and clubs that participated in Orlies cruise and funeral services were: Phoeniquera Classics, Imperials, Classics, Dukes, Majestics, Spirit, Good Life, Intruders, Ariztlan, Society, Identity, Latin World, Intimidations, Sophisticated Few, Silent Breeze, Redeemed, Klique, Showtime, Central, Unity, Unique Image, USO, Slow Lane, Otra Vida, Steady Dippin, L.I.F.E., La Gente, UNIQUE, Prophecy, Lowrider Style, A.L.M.A., Los Desperados, New Image, Old School, Rollerz Only, Super Natural, On the Scene, Old Memories, and Countless solo riders and admirers.

Hunters hit the woods on first day of buck season
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The weather conditions were nearly perfect for the
opening day of Pennsylvania Buck hunting season, in which 750,000 were expected to head into the woods throughout the state in pursuit of a trophy buck.
It was described as a decent turnout for the first day in southern Jefferson County, according to Andy Troutman, Wildlife Conservation officer (WCO) for southern Jefferson County. He said while making his rounds throughout the county, he checked four or five decent-sized bucks out in the field.
"Whether it was a large kill or a down year, I can't say for sure," Troutman said, adding that there was a lot of shooting in the morning that tapered off in the afternoon.
He said some people wait for doe season to come in on Saturday, but for the most part, most hunters are out in the woods on the traditional first Monday after Thanksgiving, whether it's doe season or not.
Troutman said he believes the deer population is good in southern Jefferson County.
"I checked a nice size trophy rack today that was shot on the Knox-Oliver Township line by a non-resident," he said.
Troutman said he encountered hunters with several violations after hours of hunting.
"I have a case where a deer was shot at 5 a.m. Monday, and the culprit
has not been caught," Troutman said, adding that legal hunting begins a half-hour before sunrise and concludes a half-hour after sunset.
He said hunters often are wearing the correct amount of blaze orange when in the woods, which during rifle season is 250 square inches on the head and the front and back of the upper body.
"Even though these hunters had the correct amount of orange on, they did not meet the requirement," Troutman said.
"In one case, it was a violation because someone was wearing a backpack that partially covered the orange," he said. "In another case, there was a little bit of a cloth on his tree stand; it was hard to see the orange.
"They were in compliance with the law, but a little more orange would have been safe," Troutman said.
He said the law is also specific on the tagging of the deer once it has been harvested.
Troutman gave an example of someone who takes a deer just before dark and can't find the deer.
The law says the deer must be tagged immediately when found. If a hunter does not find the deer until the next day, it can appear that he or she is not fulfilling that portion of the law, Troutman said.
Actually, he said, the deer must be tagged before being moved from where the hunter finds it.
"If someone takes a buck today and drags it back to their vehicle or back to their camp and doesn't put a tag on it, it's a violation," Troutman said, adding that the WCOs do cite hunters for tag violations.
"We do take this very seriously, because of how easy it is for poachers to slip a deer out of the woods and not put a tag on it," he said.
Troutman said then a poacher will still have a tag on his or her back and go out and shoot another deer.
He said the fine for not tagging a deer can range from $100 to $200.
"Hunters must carry a pen with them while hunting so they can fill in the information at the site of the kill before moving the animal," Troutman said, adding that an easy way to attach the tag is by making a small slit in the ear and using a zip tie to secure the tag.
Troutman said hunters who use a blind or hunting shanty to hunt from must have 100 square inches of patches of orange cloth surrounding the blind or structure.
"I say to be safe, fly an orange flag up on the roof on a large fiberglass rod for better visibility," he said. "This is the third year for this regulation, and we are taking a harder stance on that."
He said the antler restrictions this year mirror those from the previous year.
According to PGC website, "For Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 2D, hunters need to identify three antler points, not including the brow tine, which is the point immediately above the antler burr.
"In the remainder of the state, antler restrictions remain a minimum of at least three points on one side, the commission said.
Troutman said statewide, all junior license holders, mentored youth hunters, disabled hunters with a permit to use a vehicle and resident active-duty U.S. Armed Services personnel have a minimum antler restrictions of one antler with at least two points, or one antler three or more inches in length.
For those hunters in 11 WMUs, there is a split-season structure such as Jefferson County, in which the first five days (Nov. 26-30) are open for antlered deer only, and the remaining seven days (Dec. 1-8) are open
for antlered and antlerless deer.
Those WMUs which include in our area: 2D, 2E and 2F.

Hi guys I have a question about Hayabusa Tokushu Engineered Leather Gloves - Vylar Boxing gloves. I hear they are a vegan alternative to actual cow leather gloves but I am confused as to what the material actually is. I have done a number of Google searches and found very little. I think I originally found the information about these gloves on Sherdog and messaged a couple of the members there with no reply.
The reason I am interested is of course because vinyl can cause facial contusions plus I've ripped through my new gloves in about 3 months already and I'm looking for something better now.
What do you think? Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what that material is...but I use Hayabusa gear for all my fight training. Great product! I'd give them a call and ask...assuming this question is still relevant? I just looked at the date

Digital Transformation: Agility and Innovation Best Practice Guide
The Digital Transformation: Agility and Innovation Best Practice Guide explores how well companies are adapting to the increasing need for organizational agility, and applying that to the service of innovation. The report is based on a series of in-depth interviews with a range of senior digital and non-digital marketers, academics and practitioners across different sectors and markets.
Written by experienced blogger, writer and consultant Neil Perkin, the report makes best practice recommendations and provides useful frameworks for identifying the key building blocks of achieving greater agility, enhanced innovation, and organizational change.
About the report
The research was designed to explore the approaches and models organizations can use to encourage and facilitate innovation and the barriers they need to overcome. The methodology involved two main phases:
- Phase 1: Desk research to identify relevant issues, examples and models.
- Phase 2: A series of in-depth interviews (13 interviews in total) with a range of senior digital and non-digital marketers, academics and practitioners across different sectors and markets.
The 40-page report contains everything you need to know about agility and innovation, including sections on challenges, common approaches and models and resourcing considerations.

Amity Shlaes - Calvin Coolidge: The President Who Said "No"
President Calvin Coolidge gets a bad rap, says author Amity Shlaes, who notes that under his leadership the economy grew at a rate of four percent annually, taxation was low, and the budget was balanced.
Today few of us know much about this president of the 1920s. But without the corruption of the earlier Harding administration or the big spending of subsequent presidents, Coolidge left office with a smaller federal budget than when he came in. Could there be a lesson there?

The Swiss Embassies and Consular Offices are the only accredited Swiss Government agencies, who are permitted to grant Swiss visas in a different country. Generally, to avoid any risks that can come up when getting on flights to Switzerland or at Swiss ports of entry due to possible miscommunication, visitors are highly adviced to apply with the Swiss Embassy and Consular Offices in your home country to get Swiss visas in advance of travelling.
To apply for a Swiss visa, you will require a visa application form and this can be obatined from Swiss tourist visa form or Swiss business visa form. You can also obtain sample visa cover letters, which you can send it to the Swiss embassy in your city from visa letter for Switzerland.
Option 2:

Does the AC10DGM triac continue to work and function if the temperature is 45°C?
Latest Updated:12/01/2006
When the ambient temperature was 45°C, the surface temperature measured at the metal fins of the AC10DGM was approximately 55°C, but is this temperature a problem considering triac performance and functions?
Verification of the junction temperature (Tj) is required to determine whether or not this temperature is a problem.
In the case of the AC10DGM, the thermal resistance Rth(j-c) between the junction and the case is 1.8°C/W, so that at the ambient temperature of 45°C, the following Tj value is obtained when the measured temperature (Tc) is approximately 55°C:
Tj = 1.8 × Pd + 55
Please calculate Pd and check whether Tj is equal to or lower than the junction temperature of 125°C in the above equation.

Who Tried To Bribe Rep. Smith?
Stop protecting him, Congressman.
Rep. Nick Smith, R-Mich., says that sometime late Nov. 21 or early in the morning Nov. 22, somebody on the House floor threatened to redirect campaign funds away from his son Brad, who is running to succeed him, if he didn't support the Medicare prescription bill. This according to the Associated Press. Robert Novak further reports,
On the House floor, Nick Smith was told business interests would give his son $100,000 in return for his father's vote. When he still declined, fellow Republican House members told him they would make sure Brad Smith never came to Congress. After Nick Smith voted no and the bill passed, [Rep.] Duke Cunningham of California and other Republicans taunted him that his son was dead meat.
Speaking through Chief of Staff Kurt Schmautz, Smith assured Chatterbox that Novak's account is "basically accurate." That means Smith was an eyewitness to a federal crime. United States Code, Title 18, Section 201, "Bribery of public officials and witnesses," states that under federal law, a person commits bribery if he
directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official or person who has been selected to be a public official, or offers or promises any public official or any person who has been selected to be a public official to give anything of value to any other person or entity [italics Chatterbox's], with intent to influence any official act. …
Promising to direct $100,000 to Rep. Smith's son's campaign clearly meets the legal definition of bribery. The only question, then, is who to prosecute. The AP had Smith attributing threats to support his son's opponent to "House GOP leaders," but that was a paraphrase, and it is possible Smith meant someone else when he spoke of an actual offer of $100,000. We know House Speaker Dennis Hastert spent a lot of time that night trying to win over Smith. The trade publication CongressDaily spotted Hastert around 4 a.m., about an hour into the extended Medicare roll call, placing his arm around Smith and gesturing. Twenty minutes later, CongressDaily saw Hastert work Smith over again, this time with Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson. At 5:30 a.m., with less than half an hour left until the final tally, CongressDaily saw Hastert and Thompson give it one final try. The Washington Post's David Broder, in his Nov. 23 column, wrote that House aides "recounted that Hastert said Smith's help was vital to the party and the president—a fitting gift at the end of a long career—and suggested it would also help Smith's son, who plans to run for the seat." That's pretty close to Novak's version.
But according to Hastert spokesman John Feehery (as quoted by the AP), Hastert merely said "that a vote on this would help him and help his son because it would be a popular vote." Ordinarily, Chatterbox would consider that a laughably weak denial. But Feehery told Chatterbox that Smith had personally assured the speaker that he wasn't the individual he'd complained about. Schmautz, Smith's chief of staff, said Smith had further clarified that the perpetrator not only wasn't Hastert; it wasn't Thompson or House Majority Leader Tom "the Hammer" DeLay, either.
Obviously Smith doesn't want to alienate the GOP establishment by hurling criminal accusations at whoever this phantom bribe-giver may be. But it's a little late for that. If Smith witnessed an attempted bribery, he has an obligation as a citizen—and even more so, as member of Congress—to make that person's identity known to law enforcement officials. Marc Miller, a Washington attorney who advises clients on ethics issues, told Chatterbox that what Novak described not only looked like "a slam-dunk violation of the bribery law" but probably also included "a smorgasbord of other criminal violations." Rep. Smith, Miller said, "should really be sharing the specifics with the Justice Department."
So, Congressman. Enough with the guessing games. Who tried to bribe you?
[Update, Dec. 2: In a Nov. 28 commentary in the Lenawee (Michigan) Connection, Rep. Smith himself made reference to "bribes and special deals" that "were offered to convince members to vote yes," though he shed little further light on who, his own case, the perpetrator or perpetrators were:
Other members [i.e., not Hastert] and groups made offers of extensive financial campaign support and endorsements for my son, Brad, who is running for my seat. They also made threats of working against Brad if I voted no.
If the Bush Justice department hasn't made inquiries about this yet, it isn't doing its job.]

Are 'Dancing With The Stars' Partners Mark Ballas & Bristol Palin Becoming More Than Friends?
The sexy routines, the joint travel, and now the hand holding — is Bristol falling for her dance partner?
It looks like Bristol Palin may have already snatched up something just as great as the Dancing With the Stars title — a new man! Bristol and her hot new dance partner, Mark Ballas, seem to be generating a lot of heat, both on and off the set of the hit TV show. The pair have been seen getting chummy in Bristol's home state of AK and were spotted holding hands and heading out together in LA to Mint Bar on Oct. 11. Levi who?
Bristol, in case you have been living under a rock for the past few years, is a single mom to 21-month-old son Tripp and daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Mark meanwhile is the son of ballroom dancer Corky Ballas, the partner of Florence Henderson on this season of Dancing.
Let's just hope this maybe couple can abstain from having too good of a time.
What do you think HollywoodLifers — close friends or something more?

Miso Beef Burgers with Daikon Oroshi
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Grated Daikon Oroshi is a must for oily foods in Japan. Tempura is presented with a small dipping bowl of oroshi and oily fish are served with drained oroshi on top which cuts the oily flavor and aids in digestion. The oroshi can be flavored with soy sauce, or yuzu citrus. It is a quick and easy technique to add dimension to flavors but should be grated right before eating. The red on top of the patty is momiji oroshi, named for the color of autumn maple leaves, but really is grated red chili mixed with the grated daikon. —BoulderGalinTokyo
Serves: 4
Miso Beef Burgers
grams ground beef (low-fat content)
large onion, finely minced
tablespoon Koji Miso (or chunky golden miso)
1 1/2
tablespoons golden Miso (medium)
teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
cup panko (this produces a juicy burger, add more panko if grilling or want a firmer patty)
Serving Components and (Grated) Daikon Oroshi
teaspoons olive oil
shishito peppers, or sliced bell pepper (shishitos are usually not hot)
shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced, or maitake (hen-of-the-woods) pulled apart into equal sizes, picture is shimeji mushrooms
2 1/2
inches daikon radish from the middle section, peeled
shiso leaves (plus 4 extra if making chiffonade for oroshi)
teaspoon cheyenne pepper (or one dried chili of your choice, remove seeds)
kabosu, sudachi, key lime (halved) or yuzu, or Meyer lemon (cut in eights)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients down through panko. Remove your wedding ring and knead like bread in the bowl. Shape into patties.
- Put oil in skillet and on medium heat cook hamburgers. Since it's beef, don't over cook. When they are almost done, push to one side of skillet and add mushrooms, sauté until done, 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan to a warmed plate.
- Add shishito peppers and sauté until cooked, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. (If you want the peppers to look shiny with no beef on them, sauté before the hamburgers).
- Make the DAIKON OROSHI: Grate with a ceramic grater which is easiest for this purpose (photo). What you use for garlic should be fine. Or chop in half-inch pieces and pulse in food processor. Over processing will make juice. Drain a little but oroshi should not be dried out. For MOMIJI OROSHI: grate chili or use a little cayenne pepper. Add to some of the grated daikon-it should taste very hot. SHISO CHIFFONADE: Remove any stems from shiso leaves. Roll leaves up and slice very thinly.
- TO SERVE: Place a shiso leaf off center on individual serving plates. Place miso hamburger in middle, covering a small section of shiso. Put shishito peppers on other side of shiso. Top with daikon oroshi in center-to-front of burger. Place mushrooms on top of burger and oroshi. Put momiji oroshi on top and sprinkle shiso chiffonade (if using). Before eating squeeze citrus juice on daikon oroshi.
- Don't forget your wedding ring!
