When I saw this weeks theme for #SundaySupper I was super excited to take part!! My family has been on vacation this past week and I went on cooking strike…….no really I did!! Can you believe it! I didn't want to make anything "huge" so I decided on an Appetizer! It was perfect because I was able to make it and serve it to my family at our campfire on our last night of vacation! This week's gig is being hosted by Samantha from The Little Ferraro Kitchen. Samantha just celebrated her 1 year "Blogversary" last month (WOW! How exciting!) Go visit Samantha's recipes and when you do tell her this Momma sent you!
Join us this week Around the Family Table for #SundaySupper! That fun starts at 3pm EST with these fabulous recipes being showcased and ends with our #SundaySupper live chat at 7pm EST. This is a #SundaySupper you don't want to miss!
Now to tell you the story behind this recipe. I'm always saying that I have zero technical skills! As in zilch. Zero. None. I wanted to take part in this event because Julia was an amazing cook, I bought her cookbook by mistake a few years ago and when I looked through it, I thought, wow these recipes look really hard LOL…..but since I've taken up cooking and being a stay at home mom, I'm looking forward to diving into this book even more!! Anyways, I accepted the invitation, I went onto the website that was referenced to celebrate Julia Child's 100th Birthday, I clicked on "Recipes" and I chose an appetizer since I was on vacation. I started typing up this post and went on line and realized that I chose a recipe from the PBS website sponsoring this awesome event!! OMG, I can't believe I'm admitting this to the world right now. I sat here in tears the night before whipping this up, complaining to my husband that I had to openly admit this to my #SundaySupper friends and here I am admitting it to everyone else. Oh well. Tis the world of blogging!!
So…….I did some research and realized Julia does have a dip called "Brandade a' la Soissonaise (Puree of White Beans with Garlic and Herbs) The dip I ended up with was very similar to her recipe, and next time I make it I'll actually add the herbs and garlic because I think it would give it a richer taste!! The recipe I ended up with was courtesy of Everyday Food, and the Homemade Tortilla Chips are courtesy of Kitchen Explorers. I actually really liked this dip with crackers!! Here is my favorite quote from Julia Child's that I wanted to share with you ………..for obvious reasons!
I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate."
White Bean Dip & Homemade Tortilla Chips
- 1 can cannellini beans drained and washed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt or to taste
In a food processor, combine cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth
Place puree in a serving bowl, and lightly sprinkle chili powder over the top, if desired. (I used pepper)
For the Chips:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Put the vegetable oil in a small bowl, and, using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top and bottom of one corn tortilla with the oil. Put the tortilla on a cutting board, and brush the top of the next tortilla with oil, putting the non-oiled side on top of the first tortilla so they share any extra oil. Continue with the remaining tortillas, brushing only the top side and stacking them.
Cut the tortillas into eighths (a pizza cutter or kitchen shears work great for this), cutting across the middle so they are triangle shaped, and spread them on one or two large baking sheets in a single layer. Sprinkle them evenly with the salt.
Bake them for about 15 minutes until they are lightly browned and crisp, but remove them from the oven before they get dark brown.

You do remember the crying Bama fan, don't you? Dressed like Bear Bryant, a blonde sorority girl on his arm, moved to tears by an overtime loss in the Game of the Century. He headed down to New Orleans this weekend, where he was recognized by an LSU fan who just happened to have a blown up photo of him as a poster.
Tiger Droppings, who has the photo, says "he was a good sport about it all," though I'm guessing he's an even better sport about it today. Who's crying now?

In recognizing and mastering the power of the LED, INOVA products have become the standard by which all others are judged. Wherever reliability, functionality, innovation and performance are appreciated - in the hands of a backpacker, Boy Scout or police officer - you will find INOVA handheld lighting.
The INOVA brand's founders, Emissive Energy Corp., brought extensive knowledge in semi-conductor development, laser technology and light emitting diodes (LEDs) to the industry. They were rewarded with over 135 patents for their efforts. It's exactly this type of forward thinking that brought them to Nite Ize with a plan to protect and expand the premier brand of INOVA through Nite Ize's acquisition in 2010. Emissive Energy will continue to provide technology and product support to Nite Ize and together they will develop the INOVA products of the future.
Nite Ize started manufacturing accessories for flashlights almost 22 years ago.The decision to acquire the INOVA brand of products allows owner and president Rick Case to further support the companies' dedication to innovation, technology and design within the lighting industry.
It is with great enthusiasm that Nite Ize has announced the acquisition of the INOVA brand of LED performance flashlights. Nite Ize, Inc. was founded by creativity and has continued to commit to innovation throughout 22 years of business. Nite Ize products and brands strive to exemplify problem/solution based products with quality and performance at the core. They are passionate about their products, their customer's satisfaction, the Nite Ize team, their partners and the environment.
President Rick Case started Nite Ize as an undergraduate at the University of Colorado in 1989. "I was on a fishing trip using the brand new mini flashlight my family gave me as a gift. I was fishing at night with it, holding it in my mouth. Sure enough, I opened my mouth, and the flashlight fell out. I was staring down into the water, watching my still lit flashlight on the bottom when an idea hit me. That idea became the first product I ever made, the Headband Mini Flashlight Holder."
Case, who embodies the very essence of entrepreneurial spirit, built his successful company through dedication, inspiration and hard work. He was running the company from his mountain cabin when he received his first order for 42,000 Headbands. Twenty two years later Nite Ize continues to expand with a large manufacturing facility and corporate offices based out of beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Case remarked recently, "You have to be passionate, have faith in what you are doing, and be persistent."
In years that have passed since that fishing trip, Nite Ize has grown from one bright idea into a company that makes and sells a wide variety of accessories, tools, and devices. Every product they offer is designed with creative innovation for superior functionality, manufactured with top-of-the-line materials for optimum durability, and here to make your life easier, safer, and a little more fun-day and night.

Project update, December 2012
- For Curitiba, the BRT system has been a great success. The results have been an improved quality of life in the city, as well as significant environmental progress. One of the success factors for Curitiba's BRT system has been connecting public buses to a 3G mobile-broadband network. This has helped to improve real-time planning and make bus operations more efficient and effective, contributing directly to CO2 emission reductions.
- As part of studies that explore ICT solutions and their potential CO2 emissions reductions, Ericsson has conducted a life-cycle-based analysis of CO2 emissions related to the BRT system in Curitiba, confirming that the integrated 3G mobile-broadband network has helped to reduce the carbon footprint of the transport system. The report is available here.
Project Background
Location: South America, Brazil, Paraná / Curitiba
Date project established: June 2010
Curitiba, Brazil's seventh-largest city with a metro area population approaching 3.5 million, has long been a leader in sustainable development and quality of life. Forbes magazine, citing reports calling Curitiba one of the world's "greenest" cities, says it is famous for its rapid bus-based public transport – used by 70 percent of the population – and its advanced economic development.
Ericsson has deployed an innovative transport solution based on 3G/WCDMA mobile broadband for URBS who is responsible for the operation and supervision of Curitiba's transportation and transit systems. The system uses Ericsson's F3607GW module, a fast mobile broadband module with reduced power consumption and high-performance GPS. Ericsson mobile broadband modules unleash the true potential of advanced HSPA mobile broadband technology. Vivo, the leading mobile operator in Brazil, and Dataprom, an innovative Brazilian supplier of solutions for public transport, chose Ericsson as a partner thanks to its track record for customer support and quick service, as well as its mobile broadband modules.
The new solutions, through electronic ticketing, opens up possibilities for new traveler services that can help people plan their route and enable them to purchase tickets wherever and whenever it is most convenient increasing customer satisfaction and security for staff and passengers.
A machine-to-machine communication solution developed by local partner Dataprom gives the Curitiba public transport authority URBS a wide range of information about its fleet. URBS can now monitor bus routes, time spent at bus stops, speed, distance traveled, and times for arrival and departure. Fleet management systems, controllers can access information about and monitor their fleet.
More efficient public transport, reduced emissions and energy use, and a modern mobile broadband network for bus passengers: mobile broadband modules from Ericsson are making life better for people in the Brazilian city of Curitiba.
The solution has already been rolled out to 2,500 buses, and soon to reach 3,000, the system will get additional functions such as user information panels, wireless network access for passengers and CCTV for security.
Mitigation and/or Adaptation
Smarter public transport is an increasingly popular way for cities to minimize their carbon footprint. Using mobile broadband, cities and regions can both improve the efficiency of their own bus, train and tram services and attract more people to switch from private vehicles to public transport, reducing traffic congestion, fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Mobile broadband connections allow information to be sent both to and from the vehicles, improving fleet management, network planning, customer satisfaction and security for staff and passengers.
More efficient public transport, mitigates emissions and energy use, and a modern mobile broadband network for bus passengers: mobile broadband modules from Ericsson improves the public transport experience and so promotes more usage of the system compared with private transport e.g. cars.
The system monitors passengers in and out the bus and when the bus is full it sends a new bus to the same route. This practice helps to reduce the fuel consumption, due to reduced bus stops, while building a faster public transport to the passengers.
Ericsson uses a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach when quantifying our carbon footprint and has now broadened this approach to also estimate the enabling effect of ICT to mitigate the carbon footprint of other sectors. Although we have not measured the savings for this particular case we are increasingly calculating it for other cases around the world e.g. health care, field force management, mobile money, collaborative work etc.
The general approach Ericsson uses is detailed in the white paper "Measuring Emissions Right".
Social Benefits
Ericsson has established a Networked Society City Index in a joint study conducted by Ericsson and management consultancy Arthur D. Little. The index demonstrates that cities with a high level of ICT maturity are better able to manage issues such as environmental management, infrastructure, public security, health-care quality and education i.e. provide triple-bottom-line benefits derived from ICT maturity.
With regard to the Curitiba case citizens can enjoy improved public transport services based on high-bandwidth connectivity. The system provides substantial improvements compared with a previous 2G mobile communication setup, with more reliable connections and wider coverage. The number of customer complaints about the network has fallen from around 100 a month before launch to close to zero.
Potential for Scaling-up of project
It is foreseen that 70 percent of the world's population will live in cities by the year 2050, therefore public transport will play a key role in sustainable cities.
Mobile broadband solutions like these play a key role in Ericsson's vision of connecting more than 50 billion devices by 2020, and of a Networked Society.
This solution can be easily scaled up for other transport systems globally as the technology is well established and Ericsson provides services such as network roll-out and system integration which are key in implementing a successful project.
Potential for Scaling-up and replication of project

Most of Brazilian State capitals are moving towards this type of solutions. These key cities are contacting Ericsson to with the intention of fully or partially replicating this project.
A similar approach has been taken in the city of Pančevo (Serbia), where Telekom Srbija and Ericsson signed a protocol on cooperation that allow the citizens of Pančevo to use the "smart services" – Eco Bus and Bus Tracker. These services make it possible for the citizens to check the quality of the air in the city and the position of the bus in public transport at anytime or anywhere.
This project also contains elements of adaptation related to awareness in an attempt to change the citizens' attitude towards the environment and also improve the quality of their everyday life.

WHAT A RELIEF! Kim Kardashian Says She's 'Totally Fine' After Bar Fight In NYC!
The Kardashian sisters and Scott Disick got into a bar fight in NYC Oct. 7 and Kim wrote on her blog to tell everyone she's fine and wants everyone to forget about the whole incident!
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, plus Scott Disick, went out to Juliet Supper Club to celebrate Khloe's last night in New York City Oct. 7, but utter chaos ensued when a girl spilled a drink on Kim, causing a huge scene. Fortunately, Kim and family walked away fairly unscathed — and the 29-year-old reality starlet took to her blog to clear up any rumors.
"I'm totally fine, guys!," she writes. "A drunk male fan came up to me and asked to take a picture, and I obliged, but his girlfriend, who was also drunk, got a little out of hand."
She continues,"Luckily I had Scott and Khloe there to protect me. None of us were drinking… we just wanted a fun family night out, but when people see the cameras rolling, they try to get attention and I guess that's what happened when the drunk girl saw that we were filming KKTNY. I always take the high road, so we all left straight after and didn't feed into their drama."
We can't help but think the entire Kardashian clan liked just a teensy bit of the drama — after all, the cameras for their new show, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, were rolling, and we all know what a good bar fight can do to ratings!
Nevertheless, Kim says she's done talking about the crazy night, writing, "Ok, moving on!"

Has anyone had a problem with the mouse pointer sticking in Vista? I have tried both a MIcrosoft and Mac mouse and the mouse pointer still sticks and then jerks rather than moves smoothly across the screen. It is very frustrating trying to use the PC emulator with Accordance with this problem. The mouse works fine on the PC side.
Thanks for any insights anyone may have.

Thank you for responding. Mouse settings in the BGui are Send control and click to MacOS, checked sticky menus, and more complete ABD mouse emulation. Control Panel of PC will not let me adjust mouse settings there without deleting Synaptics mouse driver which I am afraid to do. Maybe Vista is the problem. The reason I am trying to get this worked out is that it will determine what computer I need to buy for home-PC (much cheaper) or a Mac.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Today's image is all about TOYS!!! You can check it out over on the Pixie Dust Studio Challenge Blog! And speaking of the challenge blog...today is a brand new challenge! This time the Pixies are creating ANYTHING BUT a card. Yup! Putting those images to work for some new fun stuff! I decided to make some Christmas Gift Tags for my project and I'm using one of the 15 Days of Christmas releases from a couple of days ago, Under the Mistletoe!
I created the base from Echo Park paper and punched the bottom with a fun EK Success punch. Then I printed the images on white cardstock and colored them simply with Tombow markers. As you can see, every package with these tags will be for ME!!!! HA! I kid. I kid.
The cute little loops are done with May Arts rope. I love this stuff!
Okay...so here's the deal...I have a question. Here in Massachusetts we have quite a few 'boroughs'. You know, Northborough, Westboro, Southborough....but there is no 'Eastborough' and I don't understand why. Because, you see, there IS an EeastON and a Weston, too, for that matter, but no Northton or Southton! And then we get to the bridges...Northbridge, Southbridge, but no East or Westbridge! Nope. BUT, there IS an UXbridge (I grew up there, actually). What the heck is an 'ux', anyway???? And to boot, these places, while they sound as though they may abut one another, do nothing of the sort. Nope. They are randomly positioned all over the state. I feel as though the founders had a hard time finishing what they started, at least when it came to naming towns! I mean, REALLY???? I just don't get it. It makes no sense and it is entirely unorganized. And THAT, my friends, is my rant for today. Just Say'n.
Have a Happy Thursday!!!

David Hasselhoff on 'Dancing With the Stars': 'I Gave It 120 Percent'
David Hasselhoff and Kym Johnson talk to "GMA" about "Dancing With the Stars."
David Hasselhoff, the internationally known star of "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider," and his professional partner, Kym Johnson, were the first couple to get the ax on the new season of "Dancing With the Stars."
Hasselhoff told "Good Morning America" that he wasn't surprised to be the first to go.
"Going into this I kinda knew I wasn't going to be the judge's favorite," he said. "All I wanted to do was have fun."
"I gave it 120 percent, and I didn't let back at all," he said.
Despite his cult-following, "The Hoff" and Johnson had the lowest combined judges' scores and public votes for their cha-cha to Tom Jones' "Sex Bomb" Monday night.
Hasselfhoff's daughters Taylor and Hayley, who were in the audience for Tuesday's results, praised their dad for keeping up with the competition despite his "bad knees."
"They were great," Hasselhoff, 58, said of his doting daughters. "I'm always their hero, and I'm always in control, so for them to see me voted off was a new experience."
Johnson, who took home the title on season nine of "Dancing With the Stars," said it was "disappointing" to be the first to go.
"When they told me I had 'The Hoff,' I was so excited," she recalled. "Every week, we had so much fun. ... He was trying really hard."
There are now 11 couples left, including singer Michael Bolton; R&B/pop singer Brandy; comedian and actress Margaret Cho; former NBA champion Rick Fox; actress Jennifer Grey of "Dirty Dancing" fame; actress and author Florence Henderson; Kyle Orlando Massey, star of the hit Disney Channel program, "Cory in the House;" Bristol Palin, a teen abstinence activist and daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin; reality TV star Audrina Patridge; Mike "The Situtation" Sorrentino of the reality TV show "The Jersey Shore," and NFL Superbowl champion Kurt Warner.
Hasselhoff, Sorrentino, and Cho all tied for the lowest score, while Grey got the highest score of the night for her Viennese Waltz with partner Derek Hough.
"I love Jennifer Grey. I think she's going to be there in the end," Johnson predicted.
The Hoff said Massey deserved to take home title of "Dancing With the Stars" champion for his pizzazz.
"When it came down between me and Kym and Kyle, I said, 'Let it be us.' The kid is so great," Hasselhoff said on "GMA. "It's about showmanship, and he's got showmanship."
Last season, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger was the winner of the coveted Mirror Ball trophy.
Meet the Remaining 'Dancing With the Stars' Cast:
Michael Bolton
Michael Bolton has sold more than 53 million records, released 18 studio albums, won multiple Grammy awards for Best Male Vocalist and countless other honors, all while selling out arenas worldwide.

After starring in six seasons of the hit series "The Hills," Audrina Patridge has joined the ranks of young Hollywood as one of the most sought-after and talked about talents on television. Patridge, who aspired to become an actress from a very early age, has been honing her skills with well-regarded coaches and private acting classes. She made her debut on the big screen last fall in the thriller "Sorority Row." Other film credits include the action-adventure film "Into the Blue 2" and "Honey 2." Patridge has also tested her hand at comedy, appearing on an episode of the sitcom "Do Not Disturb" and in a skit for "MAD TV."

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino
Mike Sorrentino is quickly becoming one of Hollywood's emerging talents. Born in Staten Island, N.Y., and raised in Manalapan, N.J., he is known for starring on the hit show "The Jersey Shore," now in its second season on MTV. He graduated from Manalapan High School and went on to college in New Jersey, where he graduated in 2004. After graduation, he tried his hand at personal training, fitness modeling and soon after was scouted for an upcoming reality show that would eventually become "The Jersey Shore." The popularity of the show caught fire, becoming one of the highest rated shows in MTV history and made "The Situation" into a pop culture phenomenon. As "The Jersey Shore" continues in its success, Sorrentino continues to gain in popularity -- nationally and internationally. He was nominated this year at the Teen Choice Awards for "Choice TV: Male Reality Star." His upcoming projects include a book, "Here's the Situation," which will be on store shelves Nov. 2, a vitamin line with nationwide store GNC, which launches in the fall, and a fitness DVD, which comes out in December.
Kurt Warner
Kurt Warner is the first quarterback to participate in "Dancing With the Stars." In 1999, he emerged from obscurity to lead the St. Louis Rams to a victory in Super Bowl XXXIV. That same year, Warner was named the NFL and Super Bowl Most Valuable Player. As the ringleader of the Greatest Show on Turf, he led the Rams to two additional playoff appearances, including another Super Bowl, and received Pro Bowl honors for three consecutive years (1999-2001). He also earned his second NFL MVP in 2001. Injuries led Warner to move from the Rams to the Giants, and finally the Arizona Cardinals in 2005. In 2007, he led the Cardinals to their first Super Bowl berth, was voted to his fourth Pro Bowl and surpassed several Cardinals' franchise records, including touchdowns, attempts, completions, completion percentage and passer rating. Warner's gridiron accomplishments pale in comparison to the dedication he devotes to the community. In 2001, Kurt and his wife Brenda established the First Things First Foundation, a nonprofit public charity dedicated to affecting lives by promoting Christian values, sharing experiences and providing opportunities to encourage everyone that all things are possible when people seek to put first things first. Warner was born and raised in Iowa and played college football at the University of Northern Iowa. He lives in Arizona with his wife Brenda and seven children.

Snake Antivenom Immunoglobulins
Snake antivenom immunoglobulins (antivenoms) are the only specific treatment for envenoming by snakebites. Antivenoms can prevent or reverse most of the snakebite envenomings effects, and play a crucial role in minimizing mortality and morbidity. These preparations are included in the WHO List of Essential Medicines and should be part of any primary health care package where snakebites occur. Currently, there is an urgent need to ensure availability of safe, effective and affordable antivenoms, particularly to those in developing countries and to improve the regulatory control over the manufacture, import and sale of antivenoms.
Snakebite envenomings
The risk of snakebite envenoming is a public health hazard that many people in the rural tropics face on a daily basis. In these areas, snakebite envenoming is a common cause of occupational injury affecting agricultural workers and hunters with important socioeconomic implications. Open-plan housing and the practice of sleeping on the floor, common in tropical regions, also exposes people to bites from nocturnal snakes. Overall women, children and farmers are the most common victims of snakebites. Children often suffer more severe effects than adults, due to their smaller body mass.
Bites by venomous snakes can cause severe paralysis that may prevent breathing; bleeding disorders that can lead to fatal haemorrhage; irreversible kidney failure; and severe local tissue destruction that can cause permanent disability and may result in limb amputation.
A knowledge of which species of venomous snakes present the greatest risks to human populations in any particular region or country is essential to addressing snakebite problems. If venom from the wrong species is selected, the antivenom produced may not be effective against the effects of bites by snakes in the countries or regions where the product is marketed.
The WHO Guidelines and global database
The WHO Guidelines on Production, Control and Regulation of Snake Antivenom Immunoglobulins presented in this website cover all steps in the production and regulatory control of snake antivenoms and contain an Appendix which lists the worldwide distribution of venomous snakes, clinically relevant for the production of venoms and antivenoms.
This document is intended to guide national control authorities and manufacturers in their efforts to improve the worldwide production of safe and effective antivenoms. Furthermore, a WHO global database, including maps and image library, has been created to raise awareness of the geographical representation of the venomous snakes included in the Appendix.
This effort has been undertaken to support public health officers, procurement agencies, regulators and manufacturers involved in decision making related to the preparation and use of appropriate antivenoms and to assist care workers in their clinical management of snake bite envenomings.

Couple Convicted of $800,000 Tax Fraud
KANSAS CITY (AP) — A northwest Missouri couple has been convicted in an $800,000 tax fraud scheme against the federal government.
Thirty-four-year-old Joshua Simonson and his wife, 35-year-old Kristen Simonson of Oak Grove, were found guilty Wednesday of 11 counts, including conspiracy.
Prosecutors say the couple filed fraudulent returns for taxes they claimed were withheld on interest income they earned. Prosecutors say they did not earn or pay taxes on any interest income.
Joshua Simonson also was convicted of money laundering for trying to conceal the money by moving it among various accounts. When the Internal Revenue Service began contacting the Simonsons, Joshua Simonson sent two fraudulent checks totaling more than $1 million to cover the funds.
The government seized $129,000 from the Simonsons, who repaid $2,000 after learning of the federal investigation.

Against Gentrification / Marcel Diallo sees a black cultural district where Oakland's the Bottoms neighborhood now stands
Marcel Diallo is at war. It's a war he thinks he has about 18 months to win. As he walks the sidewalks of a neighborhood known as "the Bottoms" in West Oakland, he points out his enemies with a spoon, between dips into a pint of strawberry soy ice cream.
There are the punk rockers, who thought they'd found an industrial neighborhood where no one would mind their loud parties. There's "the Indian cat and his partner from Palo Alto," who got a deal on one of the neighborhood's many Victorians. There's the "speculator" -- a white guy in a white pickup -- who regularly cruises the streets to see what's for sale.
Diallo is racing against the gentrification clock to create an enclave of all things African American -- black homeowners, black-owned cafes, galleries, boutiques and mom-and-pop shops. He's even got a name for this vision -- the Village Bottoms Cultural District.
"The Chinese got Chinatown, the Latinos got the Fruitvale and the Mission. We want our equivalent," said Diallo. "The only way that black people are going to be all right and not on the brink of revolution and wanting to burn this s -- down is if we have our own place that we feel like is ours," he said.
It's not just for blacks, said Diallo. "Everybody needs a black cultural district. Just like everybody needs a Chinatown."
In the past few years Diallo has gone from an always-broke poet and musician to the majority owner of homes and lots along Pine Street -- the heart of the envisioned cultural district. He's transformed the group of eclectic black artists he hangs out with into a collective that is slowly moving into the neighborhood. About 15 of these 30ish artsy African Americans have bought houses. They and Diallo recently opened the Black New World -- a performance venue -- and the Cornelia Bell Gallery. A Soul Food Co-op, Modupe's Afro-soul and Vegetarian Restaurant and the Ghetto Flowers Boutique will soon follow. They're buying homes and starting businesses by pooling their resources and stretching financially. They also help each other with construction, painting -- it's an urban barn raising of sorts.
They're working with -- not against -- a man who would seem to be their arch-enemy: developer Rick Holliday, whose Central Station Development will bring up to 1,500 new residences to the neighborhood. To Diallo, the new neighbors will bring shoppers and patrons for the envisioned cultural district.
They hope to create a place like Harlem in the 1920s and '30s, said Eesuu Orundide, a painter and sculptor who recently moved to the Bottoms.
Is this a utopian vision? Yes. What form will it ultimately take? Hard to say. To some, Diallo's a visionary. To others, he's a racist and all talk. But the collective has momentum. And its members are moving forward in their own self-help, grass-roots way, with little help from community organizations, city government or foundations. Their approach is low on precaution and high on a belief in the power of art to transform people and places.
"The edge that artist types have on the average Joe is that they're more open to believing in magic," said Diallo. "Only an artist could look at a scrap yard and see a future cultural district."
The Glory Days
The formal name of neighborhood around Pine Street is Prescott. But it's known in the black community as the Bottoms. It's surrounded by the West Oakland BART station to the south, the frontage road to Interstate 880 to the west, Mandela Parkway to the east and 16th Street to the north. It has a beachfront feel because it's so close to the bay; a nonstop breeze washes over the old Victorians that dot the neighborhood. Drive through the Bottoms day or night, and you'll see people sitting on their porches and congregating on the sidewalks. The main businesses seem to be corner liquor and convenience stores. About 30 percent of the housing in West Oakland is subsidized. The predominately black community has a median income of about $25,000.
It wasn't always this way, said Marcus Johnson, a 40-year resident of the area. He remembers when nearby Seventh Street was hopping with social clubs and music venues such as Forty-Niners, where his aunt tended bar. You could get Texas barbecue or Louisiana catfish at black-owned businesses. His sister often babysat for the kids of Sly and the Family Stone when they played at Esther's Orbit Room or the Continental Club. Oakland bands such as the Whispers and the Ballads played there too.
Johnson's favorite time of the week was Saturday night at 11, when his grandmother would send him out on his bike to Seventh Street to track down his sister, who always missed her curfew. The streets were bustling with African Americans who worked in the nearby naval shipyards, rail yards and other manufacturing plants.
Diallo remembers, too. He rifles through a shoe box full of tattered photographs of his "party girl aunties" getting ready to go out for an evening on Seventh Street. In one, they have on go-go boots and hot pants.
The good times didn't last. The jobs that had fueled the local black middle class dried up. The West Oakland BART station, built in 1971, ran right through Seventh Street. Several business owners had their properties seized by eminent domain. The rest soon left. Middle-class African Americans that could leave, did. More fled when the crack cocaine and violence later hit the neighborhood.
Since 2000, Oakland has lost between 18,000 to 34,800 African Americans. Whites now slightly outnumber blacks in the city for the first time, based on estimates from the U.S. Census. The exodus is fueled by rising crime and home prices.
"All I want is for the neighborhood to go back to how it was when I was growing up," said Diallo.
A Coalescing of Resources
In front of 924 Pine St. -- described by members of the collective as "the Office" -- there's a small wooden sign attached to a rusty metal spear that says "Nganga Diallo's House of Common Sense." Although Diallo has been called a poet, artist, community activist and the unofficial Mayor of West Oakland, he prefers "Nganga." It's Congolese for "Magic Maker," he said.
The quickest way to get your mind around his vision for the Village Bottoms Cultural District is to walk one block up to the corner of 10th Street. Orundide and two other artists -- Githinji Wa Mbire and Keba Konte -- spent a few months painting a mural on the 10-foot high corrugated tin fence that surrounds a former scrap yard on the first lot Diallo bought. They imagined the colorful storefronts they hope will soon line Pine Street. All are bustling with black patrons in traditional African garb who shop for tomatoes, sip wine at the cafe and flip through magazines.
This vision began to form when Diallo returned to Richmond after finishing his bachelor's degree. in philosophy at Cal Poly in 1995. "I started out majoring in business, but it was way too bland," said Diallo, who was the first in his family to go to college. (One brother is in prison. Another was "shot in the head" while pushing his newborn son down the street in a stroller.)
Diallo frequented the poetry readings that were just starting in coffee houses throughout Oakland. "This was pre-slam," he explained. People would get up and do rehearsed riffs. "Then Marcel would get up there and take it to the level of church," said Letitia Ntofon, his partner. "He'd testify."
Diallo and others decided they needed their own venue. In 1998, they opened the Black Dot Cafe on East 14th Street in the San Antonio neighborhood of Oakland. It barely fit a small stage, a few tables, a piano and some couches. "But we would regularly cram 60 people in there," remembers Kele Nitoto, a percussionist who lived in a loft in the back. They had weekly poetry nights, plays, jam sessions and cooking and drawing workshops for neighborhood kids. Every Sunday afternoon they'd hold "congregations." "It was basically dancing like crazy outside and we'd cook up waffles inside," said Nitoto.
Two years later, they were evicted, said Diallo. Their landlord would have sold them the building for $20,000 but they couldn't pull the funds together. They lost their lease and had to move five times over the next five years, according to Diallo.
Diallo and his friends were fed up. "We decided we had to own something," said Diallo. "Anything."
Diallo, Ntofon and their friend Tiffany Golden went to an Alameda County auction of tax-defaulted properties in 2000. Diallo scraped together a few thousand dollars from his performances; Ntofon and Golden threw in some money, too. Together they had $7,800.
They bid on the only thing they afford -- an abandoned corner lot on Pine and 10th streets. Bidding started at $2,500. "I went head to head with a white guy" said Diallo. "Everyone in the place knew he probably had more money then me. But I 'vibed' him and stared him down." The other bidder backed out and Diallo and his friends got the property for $7,500. The whole place started cheering, said Diallo.
The lot was covered with junk that reached 8 feet high in some places. Rusted-out cars and tires were everywhere. The former owner, an old man named Jenkins, had long since abandoned it. Diallo brought his grandmother to see the lot. She leaned down and picked up an old address book. The first entry, she said, was an address and phone number for Laura Agnew, her mother. "It was meant to be that you own this," she said.
Then came a big break. His great-aunt sold him her North Richmond home that was about to be condemned by the city, asking just $1,000. Diallo and Nitoto tore the house down by hand. Diallo was unsure what to do with the lot for a few years until he went to Nigeria to visit Ntofon's parents. He said his great-grandfather appeared to him there in a dream, telling him to sell the house and use the money to "save" the Bottoms in West Oakland. Diallo listed the lot for $80,000 on Craigslist and sold it for $85,000
Around the same time, Diallo read in the newspaper that Holliday had bought 30 acres adjacent to Pine Street. "I called him up and said 'Yo Rick, this is Marcel. What are you doing in my neighborhood?' " The call began a six-year dialogue between the two men. Diallo wants African Americans to have the first crack at buying the lofts. Holliday agreed to work with Diallo to identify African Americans who can be "founding buyers" and buy at a discount. They're talking about co-developing some retail spaces along Pine Street.
Holliday said he advised Diallo to buy whatever he could in the surrounding neighborhood for the cultural district, and that prices were only going to go up. Diallo used his $80,000 to start buying and selling properties -- with the goal of accumulating land for the cultural district and helping his friends buy houses.
Diallo first started going down to the Alameda County office building and researching other vacant lots in the neighborhood. He'd identify the owners and track them down. He bought one lot for $3,000 and another for $5,000.
He knocked on doors all around the neighborhood and asked people to give him the right of first refusal to buy their house, if and when they decided to sell. He'd try to persuade them "not to be so greedy" and sell it to him for $25,000 or $50,000 less than market value to help "the cause." His charm and people's fear of his quick tongue served him well.
Records show that Diallo owns three lots along Pine Street, the warehouse that he converted into the Black New World, and three other homes. He says that he collaborated with others to buy or gain control of up to 10 more. "Now we own the whole neighborhood," he says on the Black Dot Cafe Web site.
Until recently, Diallo believed he only had a limited window to buy as prices escalated, and that meant taking risks. He has used a lot of sub-prime and interest-only loans, and was able to refinance out of some of them. He has sold other properties that appreciated. Right now, home prices in the neighborhood have flattened out and Diallo has slowed down his real estate activity. Holliday said he cautioned Diallo not to over-extend himself.
Once the collective members saw that Diallo could buy, they thought that they could, too. Orundide teamed up with another family to buy a home together. "We see Asian folks doing it all the time," he said. "Why not us?" They bought a five-bedroom home on 11th Street for around $500,000. His 5-year-old twins have a playmate in the other couple's 4-year-old son.
Nitoto and his fiancee Raheemah Muhammad bought a four-bedroom fixer-upper on 14th Street for $515,000. "We couldn't afford it at first," said Muhammad. Diallo advised them to buy the house and the money would come, she said. They quickly found a young family to rent out the downstairs and a poet friend to rent a room in their upstairs flat. Muhammad got a raise at her biotech job and Nitoto took a job as a security guard at Pier 39. Nitoto spent three weeks cleaning it and Muhammad was still disgusted when she first walked in the door. Now it's a sunny upper flat with hardwood floors. The front room has a piano they got for free and several shelves packed with the fantasy books they both enjoy.
"We're still poor but we have the house," said Muhammad.
Living and Being Real
Experts disagree as to whether or not the families and Diallo are doing the right thing to stretch and buy properties.
"I see them as having more control and more choices," said anti-poverty activist Maurice Lim Miller, who got to know some collective members through his nonprofit, the Family Independence Initiative. "They didn't have a lot to begin with so they don't have a lot to lose."
It all depends on the financing, said George McCarthy, a program officer at the Ford Foundation who funds programs to broaden home ownership in the United States. With adjustable-rate mortgages, if interest rates go up, the loans can be a "ticking time bomb" for borrowers who suddenly face increased monthly payments they can't afford, he said. The buyers in the Bottoms should be OK, said McCarthy, since their property values will likely go up when the Central Station Development comes in.
For now, the buyers are enjoying the neighborhood, holding backyard barbecues and going to events at the Black New World. Black nationalist poet Amiri Baraka recently drew 150 people there. Golden, a writer, read from her screenplay "First Born" another Saturday night. (A calendar of events is available at www.blacknewworld.com.)
Nitoto often sits in front of his house and holds impromptu drumming classes for neighborhood kids. The dealer who hangs out on the corner even joined in, said Nitoto. "You could see people driving by all slacked jawed, saying, 'That's the guy I get my stuff from,' " Nitoto laughed. "He was drumming and all hippied out."
Orundide tells a similar story. When he painted in his temporary studio space at 10th and Wood -- two houses down from the home where Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums grew up -- he thought he'd be "an undercover artist." But kids kept coming in and he'd give them a small painting. "They'd come back and ask "Can I get one for my brother?' " said Orundide. A few kids now bring their paintings to Orundide.
"These are my kids," said Muhammad of the neighborhood children. "I'm not going to leave them here to the drug dealers and pimps. They don't need people to come in here and be all goody-goody to them and then leave at the end of the day. They need people to come here to live and be real."
"We have so many youngsters who don't see themselves in a good light," said Nancy Nadel, who represents West Oakland on the City Council and is supportive of Diallo and his vision to create a black cultural district. "This can only be a positive thing."
Lisa Servon, a professor at the New School for Social Research in New York City, says it also makes economic sense for cities to promote "culturally authentic economic development."
"Cities are starting to look like suburbs," said Servon. "If they want to remain competitive, they need to lift up what's already there and differentiate themselves." City governments can do a lot to support these cultural districts, said Servon. They can implement zoning restrictions that keep big-box retailers out and indigenous businesses in, and provide special financing and supports for first time entrepreneurs and home buyers.
The next year will be a busy time for Diallo and the collective. A few of the businesses are ready to go. Others still need financing and space. All will need significant foot traffic that isn't there right now. In December, the collective started "Frist Fridays," where the first Friday of each month the Black New World, Nganga Diallo's, and the Cornelia Bell Gallery will be open Friday evenings.
Diallo will need institutional investors and technical development expertise, according to Carol Galante, president and CEO of the nonprofit BRIDGE Housing, which is developing 100 affordable rental units in the Central Station development.
But even when Diallo starts to go mainstream, he'll still rely on "juju" -- his word for magic. Visitors to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts "Sampling Oakland" exhibit last fall may have seen the collective's joint installation, called "A Shrine to the Anti-Gentrification Gods of West Oakland. May They Protect Us From the Invaders." The collective members gathered dishes, nails, records, broken glass -- anything they could find in the Bottoms' streets and vacant lots -- and glued them to 6-foot-high wooden letters that spelled out "OAKLAND." Visitors could dial a number and hear a pre-recorded message from Diallo:
If you are residing in a gentrifying neighborhood and or can be considered a gentrifying force, beware. The spirits of the anti-gentrification gods bottled up in the text of this shrine may be unleashed upon you. If I was you, I would leave an offering.
If you are a longtime resident in a gentrifying neighborhood, this shrine if for your protection. Leave an offering and be blessed.

text: One might think that HAL Laboratory's puffy pink protagonist Kirby has not a care in the world, that his disposition, due to his pinkness, would be beatific. Not so, according to virtually every video game box art appearance Kirby has made for the better part of the past decade. After Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the spherical mascot went from tickled pink to pissed. The transformations from pleased as punch to enraged were most noticeable in Kirby's journeys to America, going from happy go lucky to in a lather in games like Kirby Squeak Squad. Kirby Super Star Ultra changes all that, as Kirby's gay old times are back, with nary a furrowed brow to be seen. If you'd like to fondly remember Kirby's more bitter box art outings, hit the jump.

TransFur (convention)
- This article is about the Japanese convention. There is also an art archive called Transfur.
とらんすふぁ (TransFur, the "animal transformation event") was the sole furry convention in Japan from 2005 to 2007. Held in the city of Kawasaki since 2005, the event aspired to cover the full spectrum of furry activities.
It also appealed to related interests such as dragon fandom and had a strong tradition of fursuiting (although non-fursuiters are welcome as well). There was no charge to attend the convention.
A new instance of the event was not scheduled after the fifth iteration. Most of the main organizers instead launched a successor event, Kemocon, beginning in 2008.
1st TransFur[edit]
The first convention was held in Tokyo at the BumB "sports and culture hotel" on 7 May 2005. It was attended by nearly 90 people.
2nd TransFur[edit]
The second convention was held in the city of Kawasaki, Kanagawa on 3 December 2005 with about 120 attendees.
3rd TransFur[edit]
The third convention was held in exhibition room 4F of the Kawasaki City Industrial Promotion Hall on 4 May 2006 with about 170 attendees.
4th TransFur[edit]
The fourth convention was held at the same location on 3 December 2006. Over 170 people attended, including an increased number of women. Around 50 members collected for the final photograph.[1]
5th TransFur[edit]
The fifth convention took place on 15 December 2007, with over 180 attending, including at least 47 fursuiters.[2][3]

Serbian riot battled hundreds of neo-Nazi anti-gay rioters at Belgrade Pride today, fighting back against hurled Molotov cocktails with stun grenades. Over 100 injuries were reported and almost 200 rioters were arrested.
Thousands of police officers sealed off the streets in the capital where the march took place, repeatedly clashing at several locations with rioters who were trying to burst through security cordons. Several parked cars were set on fire or damaged, shop windows were broken, garbage containers were overturned and streets signs destroyed. Several shops were looted before police restored peace late afternoon. The anti-gay rioters also fired shots and threw Molotov cocktails at the headquarters of the ruling pro-Western Democratic Party, setting the garage of the building on fire. The state TV building and other political parties headquarters were also attacked, with many of the house windows shattered by stones. The protesters, chanting "death to homosexuals!" hurled bricks, stones, glass bottles and stun grenades at riot police. Police responded by firing tear gas and deploying armored vehicles to disperse the charging protesters in the heart of the capital even after the brief pride march ended.The president of Serbia denounced the attacks, saying, "Serbia will guarantee human rights for all its citizens, regardless of the differences among them, and no attempts to revoke these freedoms with violence will be allowed." Serbia's Minister of Justice said that those arrested face up to eight years in prison. Early reports don't indicate whether any of Belgrade Pride's attendees were injured. Last year's pride parade was canceled over the threat of violence.

The 2010 Car Craft Summer Nationals presented by GM Performance Division roared to life at the Minnesota State Fairground. Even though this is Day 1 of three days, and technically a workday, hundreds of cars showed up for the start of three days of automotive bliss.
The day started quickly under an almost cloudless sky. Tires began squealing at the QA1 Autocross, engine screamed toward redline at the Lucas Oil Dyno Challenge presented by E3 Spark Plugs, and traction was strained to the limit at the CCSN Launch Box. Anyone can participate in the events but those three challenges are mandatory for the Real Street Eliminator competition.
The pictures and video below are to give you a taste of just some of what you can see here. Each participant was asked to fill out and display a form with the year, make model of their car, their name, hometown and lastly any "Cool Stuff" details. Some did this, some didn't. So, if there wasn't any information or the owner nearby we'd shoot the car anyway. No info doesn't mean the car isn't cool.
Tomorrow should be even busier as the weekend kicks off and gates open an hour earlier at 9:00 a.m. Check back here for more exclusive coverage and videos of the 2010 Car Craft Summer Nationals!
Day 1 of the 2010 Car Craft Summer Nationals
