Food might not be the primary theme one would look for in Shakespeare, but Food of Love and Third Rail Projects have hit upon it, with pleasantly surprising results, in Midsummer: A Banquet at Café Fae, an unusual performance venue just south of Union Square. From the title it's easy to guess that A Midsummer Night's Dream is the production; it's not easy to predict the rest.
Unmaking Toulouse-Lautrec
Although the Parisian cabaret the Moulin Rouge was most recently popularized by Baz Luhrmann's fantastical 2001 film musical, it was French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's posters that brought fame to the venue during its original heyday in the late 19th century. Colorful and grotesque, his works depicted the excess, revelry, and bohemian lifestyles that defined the neighborhood of Montmartre at that time. In Unmaking Toulouse-Lautrec, Bated Breath Theatre Company delivers a quick and dirty look at the man behind the paintings in NoHo's sexy, velvet-saturated bar Madame X (a venue that befits the bordello stylings of the production's historical time period).
The Mortality Machine
When actors address audiences directly, they're said to breach the stage's "fourth wall." In The Mortality Machine, it's the audience that does the breaching, penetrating all parts of the playing space and performing assigned roles side-by-side with the professionals. In this two-hour drama—site-specific, immersive, and improvisatory—part of the mystery for the playgoer is who else has bought a ticket and who's being paid to act.
Tyler Everett, the protagonist of Dan Ireland-Reeves's compelling play Bleach, takes a utilitarian view of whoring. A recent recruit to the world's oldest profession, Tyler (Eamon Yates) has figured out how, on any given night, to reap maximal rewards at the intersection of human sexuality's demand and supply curves.
I'm Not A Comedian, I'm Lenny Bruce
"Obscene, provocative, criminal, controversial"—those are words used to describe Lenny Bruce, the stand-up comedian and scathing social critic who gained popularity in the 1950s and '60s. I'm Not A Comedian, I'm Lenny Bruce, written by and starring Ronnie Marmo, captures both the acerbic and the soft sides of Bruce, who was a man seeking a voice in an oppressive time for free speech.
Say Something Bunny!
Old photographs, dusty VHS tapes, and newspaper clippings: though these objects might seem like mundane clutter, there is some truth to the old adage that "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Indeed, there is a distinct thrill that accompanies the discovery of a particularly poignant piece of nostalgia, and it is this curious excitement upon which Say Something Bunny!, an innovative piece of theater by Alison S.M. Kobayashi and UnionDocs, thrives.
If you think a mega-famous pop star like Beyoncé and an ancient Egyptian queen like Cleopatra have nothing in common, think again. They are both worshipped religiously by their followers, both have expensive taste in clothes and jewelry, and both have a penchant for dating famous bad boys. Or at least those are the parallels teased out by the new immersive pop musical Cleopatra, now playing at the Chelsea Music Hall venue. In this production, historical accuracy goes out the window in favor of flashy dance numbers, sultry love ballads, and audience involvement. Cleopatra is equal parts drag show, pop concert, and Broadway musical, and, though it has some rough edges, it is surely a good time.
The Hidden Ones
During the Holocaust, the atrocities of the Nazi regime forced countless Jewish families and individuals into hiding. Though they were not interned in concentration camps, these stowaways were subjected to another, silent, reign of terror—in which every creak and cough could result in discovery, detainment, and almost certain death. Thus, the scene is set for The Hidden Ones, an immersive theater production that brings audiences into the secret hiding place of two families at the end of World War II
Gloria: A Life
Gloria: A Life, by Tony-nominated Emily Mann, captures Gloria Steinem's ascent from a young journalist relegated to "women's interest" stories to an icon of the feminist movement. Active in promoting women's rights from the 1970s on, she is famous for saying, "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." The play is performed in two acts: the first act is the story of Steinem's life, and the second is a "talking circle," in which the audience is invited to carry on a conversation about the themes of the play.
The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini
Harry Houdini is arguably the most famous magician of all time, but the circumstances around his death remain suspiciously murky. Did he truly die suddenly of appendicitis, or were there more malevolent forces afoot? Cynthia von Buhler's The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini combines murder mystery, film noir, and comic book genres to create a genuinely fun immersive theater experience wherein audiences can explore the mysteries surrounding Houdini's death.
This Is When We Rest
An asteroid collides with Earth in just over an hour. You are at an apartment party in New York City with eight people whom you know from various stages of your life. What do you discuss with them? What is going through your mind? Do you have any regrets? These are the large, existential questions brought forth by Part Two of Live In Theatre's This Is When We Rest, an apocalyptic theater experience designed by Leland Masek that combines Live Action Role Play (LARP) gaming and participatory theater.
James and Jamesy in the Dark
James and Jamesy in the Dark is an extraordinary piece of theater that fits no mold but its own. It draws on many sources—or pays homage to them—but it is a unique, thought-provoking delight. Two gifted physical performers (in whiteface and dressed top-to-toe in gray outfits, including gloves) embody the title characters. Eventually, the audience comes to recognize the taller one as Aaron Malkin's more phlegmatic James and the shorter, more emotionally fragile one as Alastair Knowles's Jamesy.
Returning to Reims
The Schaubühne Berlin production of Returning to Reims addresses fascinating material—the evolution of French political life in the 20th century, notably a working class that was heavily communist in the 1920s to one that increasingly embraces the right-wing National Front of Marine Le Pen. U.S. dramatists rarely tackle political subjects of such depth, but the static execution of Thomas Ostermaier's production undercuts much of the daring of that choice.
Robert O'Hara's new play, Mankind, opens with a gay couple's strained pillow talk, as one man, Jason (Bobby Moreno), advises his partner, Mark (Anson Mount), that he is pregnant—by Mark. From that simple start O'Hara spins a broad, futuristic satire of sexuality, feminism, religion, commerce and talk shows. It's more than the playwright is able to manage smoothly, and much of it feels familiar, but it has its moments before it arrives at its circular ending, one reminiscent of Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's Twentieth Century.
The Trial of Typhoid Mary 1915
Since 2009, Live In Theater has reimagined the murder mystery genre by staging historic events within various nontraditional theatre spaces throughout New York City. The group specializes in interactive, true crime stories, putting some audience members at the center of the action. In The Trial of Typhoid Mary 1915, viewers are faced with the case of Mary Mallon, a domestic cook for affluent New York families during the early 1900s. As a silent carrier of the contagious bacteria that causes typhoid fever, Mallon infected more than 50 New Yorkers, resulting in at least three deaths. However, while Mallon was certainly not the only carrier of the disease, her status as an immigrant woman may have disadvantaged her in the justice system. It is up to the audience to decide whether Typhoid Mary should remain in quarantine for the rest of her natural life or be set free.
Ars Nova's KPOP begins with a chorus of glittering young Korean pop performers belting the lyrics "the future's standing right in front of you." Indeed, the purported mission of the play's fictional management enterprise, JTM Entertainment, is to bring K-Pop to American audiences, and the production delivers K-Pop-styled numbers in droves.
Endangered: The Musical, by Keni Fine and Tony Small, is like The Wizard of Oz meets Hairspray. It's about a young boy's journey, and it has a social message. The story centers on Levi Lovewell (Theo Errig), a young, aspiring journalist whose parents shelter him. But, during a trip to the zoo, his curiosity gets the better of him and he breaks away from them.
The ambitious Foundry Theatre has chosen an ideal location for its production of W. David Hancock's two-character drama Master. The design of Brooklyn's Irondale Center, a former worship and religious-education space in the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church (a gem of 19th-century architecture), strains heavenward with worn ecclesiastical grandeur. It's an environment likely to put arriving spectators in a reflective mood appropriate for playing their parts as tacit mourners in an immersive performance piece that depicts a memorial service and gallery retrospective honoring James Leroy Clemens.
The Seagull
The Instigators' adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, directed by Lillian Meredith, uses immersive elements to enhance and punctuate both large and small moments. Actors break the fourth wall, and the staging brings actors in line with the audience.
The "whites only" and "colored only" entrances to the immersive portion of 3/Fifths at 3LD Art & Technology Center in lower Manhattan are visible not only to wary ticket-holders, but to everyday pedestrians who happen to pass by the glass façade. Indeed, 3/Fifths holds a funhouse mirror to systemic racism in America by uniting the reality of everyday injustice with immersive theatrical experience.

Virgin and pregnant?
I am a virgin – I never had vaginal intercourse yet I just found out that I am pregnant; how did that happen???
Virgin women can get pregnant
- By choice, through home self-insemination, using a syringe to inject his (fresh) semen into the vagina
- By careless outercourse (non-penetrative sexual activities such as manual sex or rubbing) if the male ejaculates by her genital lips during the week leading to ovulation, when the hormonal chemistry in her reproductive system is conducive to sperm survival.
If the latter (second choice) sounds weird, do believe it! It happens to teenagers and adults alike.
Urgent education is needed to enlighten all that pregnancy and outercourse are a potent pair, that ejaculation 'on the outside' is not a contraceptive method, and that even underwear may not be protective. The sperm is a tough little guy!
What's the trick? Do not allow ejaculation by the genital lips, but rather far far away from there, unless proper protection/contraception is used!
Leave a Reply
At least if they have to go thru the pregnancy they should have had the pleasure of the ACT

Councillors have agreed to pay compensation to residents affected by noise from a motorcycle track nearby.
Six families in Brandon will get between #250 and #2,000 with a further #250 going to the person who complained in the first instance.
The pay-outs follow a damning report by a council watchdog which found Rugby town hall had failed to enforce breaches of planning control at a moto-cross park near the Peugeot car plant in Ryton.
The council?s planning and environmental health teams, which were both involved in the policing of the site, were criticised by the ombudsman for failing to take adequate steps to investigate the complaints.

Bricklane project
A brief combined with a trip to London? Perfect.
Going into London's Brick Lane, we were told to go around and find something interesting, make sketches and afterward turn them into a project. Be it a sculpture, drawing or anything we decide would work well representing our subject.
I went with a group to Whitechapel Hospital Museum, which was near Brick lane and made a research on one of the patients of the hospital whose skeleton drew my attention.
The case of the elephant man was the center of my research and project.

Yamaha YZR500 OW48 • Kenny Roberts • 1980 World Grand Prix Championship
Because Yamaha could not build a better bike to compete with Harley-Davidson at the dirt track back home in the States, Kenny Roberts decided to look for a more competitive career in the European race scene.
Back in the 70s, the motorcycle premier racing was dominated by European riders. Nobody took Roberts seriously, after all he was more of a dirt rider. Even Barry Sheen, the 1976 and 1977 world champion never saw him as a threat.
In 1978, Roberts got the world's attention. He was a rookie in the 500cc World Grand Prix road racing trail. He showed the best riders what he was and became the first American to win the 500cc World Championship. He went on to win the 1979 and 1980 World Championships.
Roberts style of riding was very different from the rest of the riders. His dirt riding style, losing traction at rear tyre and sliding off the corner, was a comfortable technique for Roberts. Not only was the bike sliding at the corners, Roberts also had his body hanging off on the inside of the bike with his knee out, skimming the road surface. With this radical riding style, he could opened the throttle earlier in the corner and gained higher speed. And his knee sliding technique also gave him lots of stability. Duct tape at the knee was the makeshift design then. Today, a knee pad is an essential part of racing suit design.
Roberts' legacy also involved his advocation for a long overdue safety standard for the riders and the race organisers. Throughout his career he had numerous face-offs with the FIM for their poor safety standards. Only after many boycotts and attempts to walk out to form his own race series, did FIM finally improve the safety standard.
The OW48 was the first Yamaha bike with an aluminium frame. At later rounds, we saw an addition, OW48R with steel frame and rear directional exhaust. Both bikes were used by Roberts in the 1980 Grand Prix season. In those days, the engine produced power in excess of what the frames and tires could handle. That's when Roberts' skill made the difference.

Start with this one 'What should early primary school look like' and note his comments about the need for Australia to use a check like the Year One Phonics Screening Check used as a statutory check in England.
Better still, Greg, how about Australia using the same Year One Phonics Screening Check and then we can get an idea of phonics teaching effectiveness in Australia compared to England!!!
https://gregashman.wordpress.com/2015/0 ... look-like/
...The Donnelly and Wiltshire review contained a couple of models for primary education. It now seems that the government has decided to implement aspects of the review, according to reports in yesterday's media. Channel 9 even invited Donnelly onto its morning breakfast show to discuss it (I wonder how many education school professors swore off Channel 9 as a result…). The headline was a push for the use of phonics. Sadly, I don't think that this will work. Teachers have been told to use a phonics-based approach for some time now and yet they still resist, persisting with practices such as the three cuing system. There is a party line where teachers who use less effective analytic phonics approaches or phonics as a last resort will say, "Of course we use phonics! We use it as part of a balance of approaches." I see no reason to believe that we have progressed since 2006. I am growing convinced that the only way to ensure that phonics is taught systematically is to institute something like the U.K. phonics check. I hope I'm wrong....
Do read the whole posting and check out further pieces written by Greg!

In reaction to the current administration's decision to end the DACA program (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the entire Wu Yee community stands in support of its immigrant families. Immigrants make our communities and our country stronger. Our community promotes diversity and stands for inclusion.
Wu Yee echoes Dean Ito Taylor's words, Executive Director of Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach. "The proposed legislation targets families by cutting our ability to bring siblings, adult children, or parents. This will really hurt our ability to bring our families together."
Now, more than ever, we need to stand united for the cause of creating opportunities for children to be healthy, for families to thrive and for communities to be strong.
If you or someone you know wants to act on behalf of immigrant families, please call Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan at 213-335-2244, and Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell at 855-336-0788 and tell them DACA must be reinstated to protect immigrant youth and families.
In San Francisco there are many resources for immigrants. Please don't hesitate to contact them if you have questions or need information.

Happy Monday, y'all! Hope you had an epic weekend. Things are finally starting to feel somewhat normal around here. I'll be gone the next two weekends or so in Carmel Valley and in New York (and then in Amsterdam) so this was my one weekend to soak up the city.
Friday needed to be a little mellow, but can you consider attending a La La Land sing along mellow? Also, I never knew how big of a cult following that movie had. Sure, all the awards won, but damn...people knew every single word of that damn movie.
Sunday was spent consuming coffee and doing my all-time favorite yoga class (thanks Sal) at Yoga Tree. If you're looking for an epic weekend wind down, this Yin yoga class is for you.
Some other highlights:
1. Shooting with both Julia and Hamee this weekend! Yay!
2. FINALLY checking out the delicious Mealmade – so, so good. And, I got a free class to Love Story Yoga from them!
3. Stopping by St. Frank Saturday morning and checking out their space along with Senreve (their bags are so cute!)
4. Nomming hard at Tawla – everything on that menu is delicious. Pro tip: Go on a nice SF night and post up at the back patio
5. The Duboce Park Dogfest. If you know me, you know I lost my shit. Pugs. French Bulldogs. Other amazing dogs. The cuteness was almost too much to handle
Cheers, y'all!

Your Loving Rain
My well of hope is running dry,
My thirst for you grows strong,
But my will is weak,
And I'm afraid I cannot wait.
I pray for your rain,
Pour down upon me,
Drench me til I thrist no more,
And my well is full of you.
I long to have you near,
To bathe in your waters,
To restore myself to you,
From your sweet, gentle touch.
My well is nearly dry,
But I shall stand beside and wait for you,
I will not give up hope,
As I seek your loving rain.

SANTA ANA – The journey through the first 23 fights of his career hasn't always been smooth for Luis Ramos Jr.
However, for No. 24, Ramos might have figured out the process.
Ramos (23-0, 10 KOs) will face former U.S. Olympian Ricardo Williams (20-3, 10 KOs) in a 10-round junior-welterweight fight Saturday night at the Anaheim Business Expo.
The first fight on the card is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
"I've never seen him as focused for any other fight like this one," said Ramos' trainer, Hector Lopez. "From Day 1, and I'm going to be honest with you, Luis tends to be headaches in camp, but I would have to say this is probably the least headaches he's given me.
"This shows his maturity. He knows he has to take this game serious and he's taking his opponent very serious."
Ramos, 24, also agrees that maybe he wasn't as focused on his job inside the ring as he should have been.
"I feel a lot better," he said. "I feel more confident and I'm ready to take this guy out. I did the work and it has showed in the sparring and on the mitts. I'm so relaxed, I'm not overlooking anyone, but I'm confident in myself.
"As I'm growing, I've been developing. My whole attitude has been changing. Yeah, here or there, I do think like a little kid, but in this sport, you have to be in it to win it … If not, things are going to tell a different story."
This will be the fourth fight of the year for Ramos. He opened with a 10-round unanimous decision victory over Raymundo Beltran in January. He then defeated veteran Daniel Attah in April, also by unanimous decision, but the performance wasn't one he was too proud of.
In September, he moved up to 140 pounds and stopped Noe Bolanos for an eighth-round TKO victory.
"Ever since I turned pro, I've had ups and downs," Ramos said. "I didn't know where I wanted to be, I didn't know if I wanted to do this. This year has been a great year. The only down I had was against (Daniel) Attah, I kind of cruised by when I could have stopped him.
"From there on, it shows that 2012 has been good, because I have put in the work."
With a victory Saturday, Ramos will likely move closer to the big opportunity he's been looking for.
That was almost the case for this fight.
Ramos was in line to face former junior-welterweight champion Amir Khan in Khan's next fight, scheduled for next week.
However, as the winds of boxing started swirling, Ramos was removed from consideration as Khan agreed to face Carlos Molina.
"That fired me up," Ramos said. "Knowing that Khan turned me down and chose to go the other way just fired me up.
"I know that I'm good, but I know I can do better. One day a big fight is going to show up. My name is out there and I have to be ready for anybody."

#Action4Jessica: Jessica Porten's Story Went Viral
By Joy Burkhard, MBA
This weekend, something that has never happened in maternal mental health happened:
A mother's story went viral on Facebook.
A mom in Sacramento California, went to her Ob/Gyn on Friday for help with postpartum depression, including symptoms of anger and scary thoughts. The next morning, Saturday, January 20, she posted this:
I had a really hard time deciding whether I should post something about what happened last night, since putting it on Facebook wouldn't help the situation. But I don't know, I feel like this has to be said out into the world so you can all see how little support mothers get from our healthcare system.
I had an OB appointment yesterday, my first since giving birth 4 months ago (because they kept cancelling my appointments), which is inhumane in my eyes. I went to the appointment alone with Kira. It was at 2:10, and I was not called back to a room until 3:15. A nurse practitioner comes in (one I don't particularly care for) and I tell her everything my husband told them when he scheduled me the appointment a week ago. That I have postpartum depression that is manifesting in fits of anger, and I want to discuss my medication options. I tell them I have a very strong support system at home, so although I would never hurt myself or my baby, I'm having violent thoughts and I need medication and therapy to get through this. She rushed through my pelvic exam, barely spoke about medication, said she needed to talk to the doctor about my PPD, and left the room.
They called the f[******] cops on me....
I was treated like a criminal and then discharged with nothing but a stack of xeroxed printouts with phone numbers on them.
Read more here.
2020 Mom was formed at the urging of the California legislature seven years ago and we have painstakingly been talking with patients, Ob/Gyns and others to get to the bottom of "why" women keep falling through the cracks. We know the health care system and we have high expectations of Ob/Gyns, but recognize that they can't do this alone.
Consider these facts:
Many Medical Doctors -MDs (including Ob/Gyns and primary care doctors -PCPs) report receiving little training during graduate medical school in mental health, let alone the nuances of maternal mental health disorders.
There are critical shortages (and not just in rural areas) of psychiatrists (MDs that our healthcare system has relied on to diagnose and treat mental health disorders), and super-shortages of psychiatrists who are trained or interested in keeping up with the ever changing research regarding treatment of pregnant and lactating women (known as "reproductive psychiatrists").
More and more childbearing age women have pre-existing anxiety and depression.
Our healthcare system is at a critical crossroads. We can and should expect Ob/Gyns to know the basics of identifying and treating depression and the range of anxiety disorders (including OCD with scary thoughts), and to know how and where to refer women who screen positive for bipolar disorder (which cannot be treated with an anti-depressant alone, as anti-depressants can trigger mania and possible psychosis).
Ob/Gyns must meet core competencies to address Maternal Mental Health.
We can, and should also expect, that Ob/Gyns have support in keeping up with the latest treatments through a provider-to-provider consult service, and help from health insurers identifying referral pathways to talk therapists, and to psychiatrists when needed.
This is what California is poised to address*. And when we can do this in California, we can do it anywhere.
Thank you, Jessica, for telling your story and inspiring a nation to act (#ACTION4Jessica). And thank you in advance, health care system (Ob practices, hospitals, insurers, trade associations and more) for prioritizing maternal mental health once and for all. We are here to support you.
Join us or follow us live on Facebook, next Monday, January 29 as Jessica leads an ACTION 4 Moms Rally (#ACTION4Moms) in Sacramento on the steps of the state capitol.

I write in multiple genres, always spitting out some combination of personal development, science, and humor.
I geek out and dive deep into peculiar topics. Lately it has been permaculture design for sustainable food supplies. Prior to that it was advances in AI and machine learning. I'm fascinated by augmented reality. My 3D printer is part challenge, part fun, and part curse-inducing, but I like tinkering with it.
I paint, I draw, I cook. I sing loudly and off-key. Really, I lack all musical ability and envy those who have natural musical talent. Team sports generally make me cringe, but I love adrenaline sports that just might kill you. Paragliding, rock climbing, scuba diving–love it all.
I like people for awhile, but then need to recuperate in the forest, just me and the dog. Or in a kayak on a quiet river full of alligators.

Kaper-dick wants a piece of the action: 'I want in on' Panthers ownership group with Diddy
Some of you may have heard that P-Diddy or whatever his name is at the moment, is consider taking a stab at owning an NFL team. The current owner of the Panthers is being accused of sexual harassment and is pulling up stakes. Now Kaper-dick wants a piece of Diddy's action.
I think it is a great idea. This way when the NFL really starts feeling the financial pinch for what he initiated, he will see how it feels to be on the other side of the fence.
Already; because of the decline in attendance and home viewing, they are talking about eliminating Thursday night games. If they eliminate Thursday night games, they are going to cut the players salaries to compensate for their losses. That will go over like a fart in St. Patrick's Cathedral and may get a few of them kneelers back to their feet.
I can just envision the power struggle between Diddy, Kaper-dick and the rest of the NEW CREW's ownership of the team, all wanting to BE THE MAN!!!

December 18, 2002, Section F, Page 5Buy Reprints
POT-AU-FEU, the French boiled dinner, is everyday food that is a Cinderella at heart. When Eric Ripert waves his wand, it emerges dressed for a holiday feast. He poaches foie gras, not a chicken, in broth with vegetables. ''It's very simple,'' he said. ''Just expensive.''
Mr. Ripert gently pulled apart a large liver where it separates into two slightly unequal sections and gently pulled a strip of vein off the surface of one of them. He suggested removing a tiny slice off the ends of each and putting the two pieces of liver in a bowl of salted ice water. ''You have to use the top-grade liver, what they call 'A,' but soaking it overnight with salt will make sure it will be clean, with no dark spots,'' he said.
He cut the two pieces of liver in thick crosswise slabs. ''You need a hot knife,'' he said. ''Otherwise it will be a mess.'' Then, using the point of a small knife, he plucked out a few blood spots from the slices. ''You could poach the foie gras whole for your pot-au-feu,'' he said. ''But it's harder to control the cooking that way, and you can't remove these little spots of vein.''
He seasoned the slices with salt and white pepper and set them aside while he poached carrots, leeks, celery and turnips in a rich chicken stock. ''Do not cut corners with your stock,'' he advised. ''You're going to cook foie gras in it, then serve it, so it has to be very good.'' Purchased chicken broth, as long as it's not from a can or a mix, can be used, but might have to be cooked down a bit to concentrate the flavor. To serve the pot-au-feu as a main course, he suggested adding potatoes that have been boiled separately. They're not necessary for a first course.
After the vegetables were done, he added ginger to the broth. ''I like what ginger does to the flavor,'' he said. He slid the foie gras slices in, took the pan off the stove and allowed the foie gras to steep a few minutes, until the slices were warm in the center when tested with the point of a knife. He divided the foie gras and vegetables among the bowls, added a little truffle juice to the pan, tasted, then poured broth into each dish. ''You do not have to use truffle juice, but it does make a difference,'' Mr. Ripert said. A garnish of chives and a few grains of fleur de sel were the only other embellishments.
He ate his portion and, while there was soup in his plate, poured in a little red wine, picked up the plate and drank. ''It's called a chabrot and you have to drink it,'' he said, wiping his bowl with bread. ''That's to get the last drops of delicious fat.''
Time: 45 minutes, plus 8 to 12 hours' soaking
1 whole fresh Grade A duck foie gras, about 1 1/2 pounds
Sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
6 medium creamer or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
4 stalks celery, trimmed
4 carrots, peeled
6 slender leeks, well rinsed and trimmed
2 medium white turnips, peeled
2 1/2 quarts degreased chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 cup red wine
4 1-inch-thick chunks peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup black truffle juice (optional)
1 tablespoon minced chives
Fleur de sel.
1. Divide foie gras where it separates into two unequal pieces. Cut a half-inch slice from ends of each piece and discard or reserve for another use. Remove and discard veins or nerves on surface of foie gras. Place foie gras in a bowl. Mix 1 tablespoon sea salt with 3 cups water, pour over foie gras and add enough ice cubes to cover. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 to 12 hours.
2. Remove foie gras from ice water and pat dry. Fill a pitcher with enough boiling water to submerge most of the blade of an 8-inch knife. Slice each section of foie gras crosswise into slabs about 3/4-inch thick, dipping knife in hot water before making each slice. Lay slices on a cutting board. Using tip of a paring knife, pluck out any tiny spots of blood from slices. Season slices on both sides with salt and pepper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap until ready to cook.
3. Halve potatoes, place in a pot of salted water, and cook until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside, covered.
4. While potatoes cook, cut celery stalks, carrots and leeks into 3-inch lengths. You should have 12 pieces each. Cut each turnip into 6 wedges. Bring stock to a simmer in a 4-quart casserole. Add vegetables and simmer 10 minutes. Remove any that are tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Continue cooking until all are tender. Set vegetables aside to drain on paper towel.
5. Warm 6 large soup plates. Place wine in a small pitcher. Return stock to a fast simmer, add ginger, cook gently for 5 minutes, then slip in slices of foie gras. Remove from heat and allow foie gras to steep 6 minutes. Do not overcook. Place 2 slices of foie gras in each soup plate.
6. Return vegetables to stock. Cook 30 seconds, then remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and divide among plates. Discard ginger. Put two pieces of potato in each plate. Strain stock into a saucepan and add truffle juice, if desired, bring to a simmer, then ladle stock over and around foie gras. Sprinkle chives on top, and serve at once, with fleur de sel on the side. Pass wine so guests can add a little to their plates.
Yield: 6 main course servings.

East West Link Bid Manager
Ferrovial Samsung Ghella Joint Venture
Cica Group provided skilled expertise and resources within the FSGJV bid team. This involved detailed interface consortia members plus all major potential subcontractors on all aspects of the development of the tender response
The Victorian Government issued an RFT for the East-West link project to three consortia comprising leading international infrastructure companies and Australian companies to compete to win the contract for this major piece of Melbourne Infrastructure. The Inner Link consortia were one of the respondents invited to submit a response to the RFT.
Cica Group provided skilled expertise and resources embedded within the FSGJV bid team. This involved detailed interfaces with up to three different consortia members plus all major potential subcontractors on all aspects of the development of the tender response as well as management of the outputs from all contributors – technical, commercial, financial and community. This necessitated ongoing discussions with team members and suppliers from South Korea, Italy, Spain as well as Australia on a day-to-day basis in Melbourne and overseas.
The FSGJV engaged Cica Group to undertake two different roles within the design and construct bid team. The first role was to provide bid management advisory services at the strategic level to guide the bid development process including liaison with all consortia members. The other role was to mange specific related services, including project administration, procurement management and industry development expertise.
The RTF response was submitted by Inner Link on time and assessed in accordance with Government procurement regulations. Inner Link was not the successful bidder for the project.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone!
If my blog looks different (a.k.a. "weird") to you, then I am in trouble. I was adding a page gadget last night and blogger was going cuckoo with my design template. I hope that this is temporary because G goes back to work today and it's my first day with the babies by myself -- AAAACKK!!!. The gadgets I have on the right side weren't showing up -- my pics, my DTs, my favorite stamp companies, etc. I am praying REAL hard that this'll fix itself in the morning! (***UPDATE: it's fixed :)***).
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent :).
I have another entry for the Some Odd Girl Guest DT challenge. The goal is to make a birthday tag using a stamp from SOG. You can view my first entry here.
For my second tag, I used Big Day Tobie. The elements of the tag are from Basic Grey. Added some sewing and a ribbon, and voila!
Thanks for visiting,

Becoming a Music City Could Be Good for Business – If Done Right
Note: This was published in The Rivard Report on July 2, 2018.
There is momentum building within the local music community and among some city officials to have San Antonio become known as a music city. In fact, the state music office has recently declared San Antonio to be a Music Friendly Community. According to its Website, "Participation in the Texas Music Office's 'Music Friendly Community' program provides Texas communities with a network for fostering music industry development, and sends a clear message to industry professionals that certified communities are serious about attracting and developing music industry growth.
"Cities that have received the official Music Friendly Communities designation from the Texas Music Office include Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Denton."
But, I have to offer a cautionary warning—be careful what you wish for.
According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), "A Music City, by its simplest definition, is a place with a vibrant music economy. There is growing recognition among governments and other stakeholders that Music Cities can deliver significant economic, employment, cultural and social benefits."
It is often assumed that cities with abundant cultural amenities attract visitors, new businesses and residents, and retain existing residents. The subject of this warning is limited to one cultural amenity, live music. Austin, our robust neighbor to the north claims to be the "Live Music Capital of the World," and if it is, it is in trouble.
The view of Austin from San Antonio looks very good to some because of Willie Nelson, Austin City Limits and a massive event known as South by Southwest (SXSW). But according to Andrew Flanagan (www.tpr.org), the primary music core in the city is declining. "The Austin music industry isn't whole. The business underlying 'The Live Music Capital of the World' stands bifurcated between its lucrative festivals . . . and a dwindling local music scene.
"Large events and a rapidly expanding population have put an unintended strain on the infrastructure of the local music scene which helped them and on which they still rely . . ." The demand for housing by the influx of highly paid technical workers has driven the cost of housing to a level that is unaffordable for working musicians. Too, the rising rents of commercial property have forced many small- and medium-sized live music venues to shut down.
Another well-known music city, Nashville, no longer has an economic environment that adequately supports songwriters and live music performers. Many in both of these well-known music cities have had to move due to rapidly rising real estate prices. Even some established names in the music business, such as Billboard Magazine, no longer have offices in Nashville. Without incurring the expense of renting office space, it's too easy to maintain a staff of virtual or at-home employees to fill the few pages devoted to country music.
In my opinion, city policy makers would be well advised to act with an effective but limited amount of effort in encouraging a healthy music scene without becoming overly bureaucratic about it. Without getting mired in the details I will give an example.
According to The Journal of Urban Affairs, in 2002 Austin began to look seriously at the power of cultural activity as an economic generator rather than as a supporting amenity. It transferred the city Cultural Arts Division (CAD) from its Parks Department to the Economic Growth and Redevelopment Services Office (EGRSO).
After a lengthy process that included forming a 70-member leadership council comprised of local arts, civic, education, and business leaders, 212 pages of a master-planning document were produced, including an executive summary and consultant's report. It was finished two years before the city council partially approved it, and then the council chose not to fund it.
That's several years' worth of work, 212 pages of information, countless money spent, and still Austin has nightmarish traffic (only partially relieved by a system of toll roads) and a declining primary music core thanks to soaring real estate prices.
The focus was on attracting people to Austin who create for a living; folks like computer programmers and engineers who make good money working in tech companies and buy expensive cars and houses. The result has been an unaffordable cost-of-living for the lower income people who create for a living—songwriters, musicians and singers.
San Antonio can easily avoid this type of logjam. First, be aware that it happened in Austin and then, use the taxing authority it already has to promote a healthy music scene that benefits venues, live music performers and consumers. Free-market forces should take care of the rest.
Next, don't get greedy. Let Austin have its reputation, declining as it may or may not be. San Antonio already has its own, and a very good one, in my pretty-well-informed opinion.
In much the same way that government provides infrastructure so people can live and work to generate economic activity, government can help create performance places and spaces by adopting favorable taxation policies for or making small reimbursement grants to venues that feature or will feature live music.
Small and medium live music venues find it financially burdensome to pay music license fees (a federal law) to BMI, ASCAP and SESAC, the major performing rights organizations (PROs). Many who choose not to pay the fees, stop featuring live music altogether. Still others continue to operate at the risk of being sued and choose not to promote live music in the media for fear of being discovered by the PROs. Without engagement with the public through local and social media promotion, audience development and the resulting increase in the velocity of money in the local economy is stunted.
Simply put, becoming a music city could be good for business if done right.

The Fire of Living
This is a rant, but it is related to music in the public sphere.
In May, Bexar County had an election in which less than five percent of the registered voters bothered—I say bothered—to vote. At issue were things like determining the leadership of the Alamo Community College District (ACCD), a major bond issue for North Side Schools and a host of city council and mayoral posts in places like Leon Valley, Balcones Heights and Castle Hills.
There are just over 1.7 million folks in Bexar County. Around 600,000 are registered to vote, which means that in this election less than 1.7 percent of the population is determining the future of our children and our cities.
Ok, so only some of the 1.7 million people are eligible to register when you consider age, criminal past, etc. I'll give you that. But, still, somewhere between 1.7 percent and 4.75 percent of the people are in charge of our democracy because they . . . bother to vote.
Know what's even worse? Undervoting.
Undervoting is a measure of how many people don't vote on issues or races with which they are unfamiliar. They just skip the question. For example in one ACCD race, more people did NOT vote than those who DID vote for either of the two candidates.
Why? I don't think they know or perhaps care what the ACCD is or does.
What appears to be missing is something E.D. Hirsch, Jr. (Pioneer Institute) has said is "the sacred fire of liberty." It is the passion for freedom that consumed the founders of our democracy. Where is our passion today?
Let's say you live in a neighborhood with 100 registered voters living close to you. Around five of them just determined who would set your tax rates and community college policies that affect the cost and quality of higher education for almost 60,000 students attending the five campuses each semester.
If you think each of those five voters is sane enough to make decisions on your behalf and that of your family, you're crazier than they might be. Furthermore, if you think voting for some star-struck, power-hungry politician every four years is gonna make America greater you need a session in the woodshed.
BTW: I think America is already great . . . but could be greater.
Making America greater is OUR job, and the first non-negotiable task of this job is to know the issues and candidates and vote!
Maybe "the sacred fire of liberty" is really the sacred fire of life. I can tell you that having and surviving cancer have helped me realize just how precious life is in these United States of America. Notwithstanding the many flaws we have, I'd rather live here than anywhere on this planet.
But, if we don't do a better job of living together, gracefully and peacefully, we could lose it all. Nations have come and gone since civilization first came into being.
As a live music performer, I think it is part of my job to stoke the flames of the sacred fire of living so that people might coexist in concert with each other.
And that's how politics and music are related in my pretty-well-informed opinion.
That's what I think. What about you? Send me an email.
Conserving Country Music
Country music is in trouble. Local radio stations no longer reflect the musical tastes of local markets. They have yielded to national trends in order to appeal to a narrow segment of listeners who would just as soon listen to Hip-Hop as they would to today's country version of that urban genre, Hick Hop.
I spent two months shy of 20 years working with Texas Wildlife Association in San Antonio, Texas, producing its monthly color magazine. While there I learned about the difference between preservation and conservation.
The idea that you can protect nature by doing nothing is preservation.
If you fence off a piece of land, and let nature have its way, it becomes a wasteland. In that case, nature happens because of itself. Humans have no role in mitigating the damages that are done by fire, flood and the overpopulation of wildlife that threatens its potential. The resulting overgrazing leaves the topsoil vulnerable to erosion, which in turn limits the ability of the land to sustain wildlife and its habitat.
Conservation, on the other hand, is a process whereby humans act in such a way as to assist nature in its ability to sustain itself. Conservationists are stewards of the land. They care passionately about its well being.
Flood control initiatives, crop rotation, controlled burns that facilitate abundant re-growth of grasses, and managed hunting are but a few things conservationists do to conserve nature. So, what does this have to do with country music?
There are those 'preservationists' who wish to preserve the supply and demand free will of the markets. The land (or country music in this case) is losing its fertility as a genre, a place for diverse musical human expression.
Market forces in country music are destroying its ability to sustain itself, in my opinion. Broadcast deregulation in the 1980s and 1990s made it possible for individuals and corporations to own and operate virtually as many radio stations as they could afford. The problem is this: these buyers couldn't afford the huge number of stations that they bought. So, they borrowed heavily as they made their deals.
Unable to make their payments, they cut expenses. People lost their jobs and were replaced by automated programming equipment. Budgets for music research were trimmed or eliminated. Small staffs now operate multiple radio stations from a single location, and program direction comes from places not near the point of origin for the broadcast signal.
In other words, local taste is no longer reflected in local broadcasting.
If you care about any of this, it's time for some flood control. Become a country music conservationist. Get your friends to join you and flood your local country music radio stations with requests for your favorite artists. If you happen to like what you hear today, you might want to listen to Jim's Jukebox on Spotify to hear what I'm talking about. There's more to country music than a strong Hip-Hop beat with a one-note melody.

The Good Guys Kitchens gave KBQ an inside look into this season's kitchens and laundries featured on The Block. We reveal each apartment's design style, along with renovating tips and tricks direct from the contestants
Caro and Kingi: Urban
Caro and Kingi's spacious Good Guys kitchen adopts an industrial, urban style evident in the use of concrete and a grey, black and white palette. Squaring their room, they created a classic rectangular kitchen, cleverly transforming an alcove into a hidden butler's pantry.
Dual-tone cabinetry in Super Matt Black and Essendon Serene is bold, while the benchtop in Silestone Blanco Zeus Suede adds depth and texture. Black bar handles blend into the cabinetry, providing an almost handle-free
look. Graffiti-style artwork on the back of the island adds a South Yarra element and the innovative, integrated iPad within the splashback will appeal to tech-savvy buyers."Talk to professionals who can help you work out your style. Always make sure your kitchen is functional and will work with everyday living."
Functional storage solutions are in abundance, with pull-out pantries built into wall cabinets and lower cabinets opening to reveal internal drawers — a clever way to achieve a symmetrical finish in a highly practical kitchen space. Fisher & Paykel offer added value in the form of an integrated CoolDrawer™, along with other fully integrated appliances that give this kitchen its sleek appearance.
Caro and Kingi's timeless, streamlined and black-and-white aesthetic also carries into their nearby laundry, creating a sense of continuity between spaces.

With its distinctive U-shaped layout, the three-part new building complex, consisting of the MDC-planned, "In vivo pathophysiological laboratory building" (IPL), an additional building for infrastructure as well as the planned research facility for experimental medicine (FEM) of the Charité University Medical Centre forms a quiet enclosed space towards the forest area in the south and east.
The character of the three-part building is distinguished by two very different facade materials consisting of Douglas slats and glass fibre concrete elements. A campus facing foyer serves to develop the public functions of the IPL such as the seminar and office rooms on the ground floor as well as the special laboratories with restricted access. The two organisations cooperated on an infrastructure building that would connect both new buildings, allowing to fully take advantage of synergies between the IPL and the neighbouring FEM in the areas of supply and disposal, storage and energy generation.

We are fortunate here to buy them right off a fishing boat but if you can't ( and most people can't ) purchase live lobsters from a lobster co-op or lobster company, where lobsters are stored in submerged crates, pounds, or pools, or in large tanks filled with circulating seawater. Fish and seafood markets, particularly busy ones that turn over inventory quickly, are another good source. If buying from a supermarket, make sure the tank is clean and uncrowded, and that the lobsters are lively. A healthy lobster should flip its tail and kick its legs vigorously when lifted up. Live lobsters can be mail-ordered if they're not available where you live.
I wanted to share other ways to enjoy the succulent pink and white meat that comes out of the most gorgeous bright red shell. It's easy to please guests by entertaining with lobster hors d'oeuvres and fancy lobster pies and super simple to enjoy lobster everyday in a quesadilla, salad or club sandwich.
Another appetizer? Of course. You definitely need to try these Haute Hors D'oeuvres: Mini Lobster Bakes. They are definite party worthy food and will most definitely be appreciated and instagrammed. And then there are fabulous Lobster Roll Sliders which are actually perfect for any time of year and especially great if you are entertaining around a game or sporting event.
Speaking of everyday eating, there are lots of ways to incorporate this flavorful jewel of a treat into simple recipes you will want to make on a regular basis. Try this magnificent creation from none other than one of my all-time favorite chefs, Bobby Flay. It's called Lobster Club With Saffron Mayonnaise, Crispy Serrano Ham and Watercress on Chipotle Brioche. Doesn't that sound amazing? And when you click the link for the recipe you even get to see Mr. Flay's adorable little face.
This vibrant dress is as versatile as the star (Lobster, of course) of tonight's blog post and I found it on Amazon back at the beginning of 2018 for a ridiculously low price. I wore it with black OTK boots and an ivory faux fur jacket during the coldest months of the year and later with burgundy tights and rose gold shoes as the weather in New England warmed up in April and May. I have a list of lots of practical, fun, and affordable items from Amazon linked here for your convenience.
Of course my hair was styled by the one and only Jannine Hansen of Supercuts in Johnston, RI !
I wore this outfit to a really fun "Mom's Night Out" with these lovely and amazing friends. If you are ever in Rhode Island and want to have a really delicious meal you definitely want to try the lobster ravioli or basically anything on the menu at Constantino's Venda Bar in the heart of Federal Hill, Providence! When I was there it got me thinking of lobster and good food in general and I thought maybe I would share not just my outfit for this blog post but also some really great recipes that might inspire you to try something new or revisit an old favorite food and try it in a different way.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. It means so much to me to have your time and attention and I really hope you found this post worthwhile.
I would love to hear from you so feel free to leave me an email, comment or even a link in you have something to share. I will most definitely get back to you in a timely fashion.
Yours truly,
I'll leave you with a few captures of Galilee, Rhode Island which is where we always buy our lobsters:
And my daughter, Angelina, with her first 'lobster' bib. I believe we were at Aunt Carrie's Restaurant and she was about six months old.
I'm sure we gave her a tiny taste of something like this ;)

With Quebec's cheap hydro power, why isn't the new Train de l'Est powered by electricity?
Squeaky Wheels: It's mostly diesel power for Train de l'Est
MONTREAL — Q. With Quebec's cheap hydro power, why isn't the new Train de l'Est powered by electricity?
A. Only a small section of the 52-kilometre Train de l'Est route between Mascouche/Montreal will be electric — the 10 kilometres between Central Station and the Ahuntsic station. Most of that is on tracks already electrified for use by the Deux-Montagnes train.
Over the rest of the route, the Mascouche train will operate under diesel power.
The line, serving east-end and north-end Montreal Island, and communities northeast of Montreal, is still under construction. About 84 per cent of the work has been completed, with the launch planned for the fall of 2014, the Agence métropolitaine de transport says on its website.
Quebec opted for the electric-diesel hybrid set-up in 2010 to reduce construction time, ignoring the province's environmental review board, which had recommended an all-electric train.
Canadian National Railway owns most of the tracks the train will use — between Ahuntsic and Repentigny. The AMT owns the rest.
For a small section owned by the AMT — between Repentigny and Mascouche — the infrastructure is being built to make electrification easier down the line, said AMT spokesperson Claudia Martin.
But any conversion would be contingent on CN's approval since the railway owns much of the route.
Martin could not say how much it would cost to make the line all-electric.
In 2011, the AMT spent $1.1 million to study the electrification of Montreal commuter trains but results have never been made public.
The AMT refused a Gazette access-to-information request for the study.
The newspaper appealed to the province's access-to-information commission. Last year, the commission ordered the AMT to disclose a small portion of the study, ruling the agency could use provisions of the access law to keep the rest under wraps.
The Gazette appealed that decision. Last month, Quebec Court Judge Jean-F. Keable dismissed the appeal.
The Mascouche train is expected to cost $671 million, up from the initial $300-million price tag.

(Route from Décarie to MUHC not set, April 28)
I need a place to vent my continued frustration driving around N.D.G. It is gridlocked everywhere. I thought that the overpass leading to Addington Ave. was closed due to safety issues, but now I'm further annoyed that it is not open because it bothered the people on the street. I don't want to be disrespectful, but the city needs to be concerned about traffic flow in N.D.G. Even if they opened up the overpass for just the morning rush hour and the evening rush hour would be helpful!

Mount Royal park will absorb Cedar Ave. ramp
A few months ago, I wrote about a long-standing pedestrian danger zone involving a ramp that takes drivers from Cedar Ave. westbound to Côte-des-Neiges Rd. northbound.
After years of dilly-dallying, the city of Montreal has now decided to decommission the ramp, says Gabrielle Korn of Les amis de la montagne.
At a March forum organized by the organization, the city presented plans to reconfigure Côte-des-Neiges between Cedar and Hill Park Circle.
"The city is taking advantage of major aqueduct work this year at the Cedar/Côte-des-Neiges intersection to undertake traffic-calming and other pedestrian-friendly measures along Côte-des-Neiges in 2015-2016," Korn said in an email.
"This work will be capped with the closure of the Cedar ramp and its redefinition into park space in 2016. The parks and transportation divisions are working together on this project — likely a first."
To allow continued traffic fluidity, "distinct lanes will be created for cars coming from Cedar to Côte-des-Neiges — two lanes for going straight or turning left, and one lane for turning right, with a more secure crossing for pedestrians."
For years, Les amis de la montagne has been pressing the city to reconfigure Côte-des-Neiges/Cedar to favour of pedestrians and cyclists.
To read the presentations made by the city of Montreal and Les amis at the forum visit lemontroyal.qc.ca
AMT launches new website
The AMT has launched a beta version of its new website. It features a regional trip planner and a tool that helps you navigate the convoluted fare structure. Check it out at votrenouveau.amt.qc.ca
The AMT says an English version be ready this summer. Until then, the English version of the old site remains up and running.
