Arts & Eventz
Stoppard, Anouilh, Fugard and More
The beginning of the winter-spring theater season hit last weekend, more concentrated a downpour than the storm. And a few shows that opened earlier are still running, too, including Oleg Liptsin's unique, brilliant iPhone-era take on Gogol's The Nose (which has decamped from Berkeley to the Shelton Studio at Pier 26 in San Francisco), Altarena's production of Bus Stop, in Alameda, and Shotgun's acclaimed production of Threepenny Opera, ending its extended run at the Ashby Stage this weekend. A floodtide of theatrical offerings. Here, then, a few highlights, struggling to be an overview: -more-
'Sylvia' the Musical at Stagebridge
Singing cats in a bathtub? With a cigarette-smoking, negative advice col-umnist beneath the bubbles? (Well, "the aging process can be funny ...") -more-
'Nikkatsu Noir' Presents Darker Side of Japanese Cinema
If you haven't gotten your fix from this year's Noir City festival at San Francisco's Castro Theater, rest assured—a whole world of dark, depraved cinema awaits on DVD. -more-

We had spent about 3 weeks in Australia and I'd been having fun using my new lens with its much better zoom capability when we arrived for lunch with a view of the Gold Coast. We had started out on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, traveled to Sydney, and then up to the Gold Coast and Brisbane for our flight home.

Trouble For Republicans DeLay And Eversole Are Fine Holiday Gifts
(Above–Bountiful Thanksgiving table. Photo by Ms. Jones.)
Mr. Eversole has pleaded not guilty.
Above–Christmas gifts. Photo by Sigismund von Dobshcutz.)
I'm sorry to say that Mr. Eversole is my Harris County Commissioner.
I'm sure the Tea Party—If it even exists anymore—will be focusing their energies on Mr. Eversole real soon.
Let's hope that after this gift of an indictment is unwrapped we will find that it contains a conviction.
(Above–Unwrapped presents on Christmas Day. Photo by Steve.)
I'm not glad that Mr. DeLay and Mr. Eversole are in hot water simply because they are Republicans. I don't think all Republicans are crooks.
What I'm glad about is that wrongdoing by powerful people can be called to account, and that members of a party that calls Democrats Communists and traitors can be brought to justice.
Who are the Republicans serving with Republican County Judge Executive Ed Emmett on our Harris County Commissioner's Court?
We have the indicted Jerry Eversole.
And then we have incoming Commissioner Jack Morman who will replace the unelected Sylvia Garcia. I say "unelected" because Ms. Garcia would still be serving if enough Hispanics in Harris County had bothered to vote, and if the Harris County Democratic Party and the Texas Democratic Party made serious efforts to encourage Hispanic voting.
These Democrats don't want to make serious efforts because then they would actually have to address the concerns of this voting group, and because Hispanic elected officials in low-turnout one-party constituencies might face a primary challenge or might have to really talk about serious issues.
As for Mr. Morman, he still has not updated his campaign web page to even address the fact that he won the election. Also, there is nothing at all on his web page that suggests at all what his views are on issues before the county.
Click the link above and read it for yourself.
Here is what Houston TV station KHOU reported on Election Night about Mr. Morman—
"Even GOP leaders Tuesday night could not place where they might have seen Morman on the campaign trail or at pre-election events. He was nowhere to be found on Tuesday night at the GOP party."
Mr. Morman will be representing something like 750,000 people, and nobody has any idea of his positions impacting the county and he can't even thank voters for putting him in office.
What a crew of Republican alleged criminals and blank slates at our Harris County Commissioner's Court.
(Top Houston bloggers Charles Kuffner and John Coby have also written about Mr. Eversole's indictment.)

Neil, Jack is a good man. Sure, he's young but he has a lot of skills and is personable in private, somewhat shy in public. Fact is that he did attend a party election night, one held in Clear Lake at the south-side office. I saw Jack many times on the "trail" and posted pictures of the events. I'm not sure which GOP "leaders" were interviewed but the statement as quoted is simply false.
You are pre-disposed not to like him and that is your right as a human but does it make it right? Your tagline says that all people matter.

I don't get how anyone can expect the Knicks to EVER get to the Finals with MDA as our coach when he couldn't even get to the WCF with the roster he had in Phoenix.
Going back to your original post, it's actually kinda funny because. Yeah Amare is not a good post player at least not traditionally back to the basket kinda thing.
However Melo is probably the best post-up SF in the league. And Billups has the size in his body to post up any PG in this league really... Maybe not Deron.
Ability in the post is there, but dude, letting these guys do half court sets is obviously a huge strain for MDA... You can't ask him to let someone post up, are you trying to give the man a heart attack?
D'Antoni should have been fired for letting Duhon start longer than four months.
It's funny to think about. Marbury caused some trouble, but Duhon starting over him?LOL
You don't sit guys out because you didn't like him arguing with an opposing player in pre-season.
Duhon isn't even a better assist guy than Nate.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Just curious what about MDA's lineups & matchups have reiterated his coaching brilliance to you? Did you think it was a brilliant move to have Shawne Williams guarding Dwight Howard down the stretch of last night's game? Do think by sitting his best rebounders like Anthony Randolph before the trade & Shelden Williams now that he is making a decision that's in the best interests of this current Knicks team when our weakness all year long has been rebounding? Do you believe he makes the correct adjustments over the course of most games when we're getting beaten in the paint & dominated on the boards by playing a small lineup? Instead of posting some all inclusive commentary on the knowledge level of the other posters on the forums like that, why not back up your comment with some logical reasons for why you think MDA's a brilliant coach?
I was laughing at the same thing too... He called out Stat for his lack of hustle in transition and then called out Dumbtoni for not getting on his players for their lack of movement and poor spacing. Also, did you see Dumbtoni's interview? He said the same old excuses he always uses every game we suck.. "We are missing our shots and the other team is shooting well... We need to start hitting our shots." That quote alone makes me cringe considering we were 6-10 from 3 at that point in the game. The guy wouldn't know a bad D if it smacked him in the face.
Antoni is hands down the WORST coach we've EVER had IMO...seriously. No matter how many stars we get he'll still make excuses and we'll continue to lose unless we shoot 60% from the field. The guy is garbage and needs to pack his bags... and if it takes us losing every game the rest of the season/playoffs to do it, then it is what it is...I hate that guy and he's ruining NY basketball.

You obviously know $hit about basketball or coaching for that matter.
Dumbtoni sits Melo for the first half of the 4th quarter EVERY SINGLE GAME and people wonder why we blow almost every game.
Dumbtoni has no clue when to rotate his players... When Fields or Douglas is on fire he pulls him and sits him forever and replaces them with the coldest player on the bench.
Dumbtoni has NO IDEA how to run a half-court offense...NOT AT ALL. His half court offense consists of a few high screen and rolls, isolation, or the backdoor screen kickout for a corner three. That's it. If were not running and gunning there's no off-ball movement, no post up game, and last but not least, no drives to the basket.
I could go for days... But go ahead and keep living in your fantasy world. We were barely .500 before the trade and now are below that after the trade. The guy just can't coach.
Anyone who outcasts and then forces the release of good defenders/scorers like an Anthony Randolph or Corey Brewer just to pick up garbage players like JJ and Brown just blows my mind. JJ is a BIG reason our team is losing. Opposing defenses just take whoever would normally cover him and double our true scorers. But I guess that's not Dumbtoni's fault either. LOL You have no clue man.

You Still Think Network Marketing
Does Not Work ?
Some people believe that network marketing really doesn't work. To put it lightly, they're WRONG. I am going to take the next few minutes to explain to you why network marketing will always work so that the next time someone takes the time to tell you that network marketing doesn't work you explain to them how misinformed they truly are.
Here is why Network Marketing will ALWAYS work:
Even in a strong economy people will ALWAYS need
supplemental income:
The truth is most people live pay check to pay check. They
aren't able to buy the nice things that they want for
themselves and their families. There is and will always be a
constant DEMAND for more money. Network marketing is a
simple, part time and low risk way for full time workers to
fill this need. To put it simply, as long as people need
money network marketing will ALWAYS be there to fill that
People will ALWAYS want freedom from jobs they don't enjoy:
Despite what you may think, there are people out there that
truly don't enjoy their job. They go to work because they
have to and not because they want to. Network marketing
offers a promise of true financial freedom. The ability to
leave the 9 to 5 working world. This freedom will ALWAYS be to tempting to pass up.
People will ALWAYS want more free time to do with as they
Did you know in a past poll conducted by Money magazine that 64% of American men and 68% of American women polled said that if they had a choice between more money and more time off they would choose the time? People covet their free time. Network marketing offers the promise of working from home and making your own hours. Again, the opportunity to create free time will ALWAYS draw people to network marketing.
As long as people crave time, moeny and freedom network
marketing will ALWAYS exist.
The next time that someone tries to tell you that network
marketing doesn't work you know that they couldn't be more
All you have to is ask your accuser 1 of 3 questions:
- Do you want more money?
- Do you want freedom from your job?
- Do you want more time?
I guarantee they will answer yes to one of these questions.
When they do they will have proved exactly why network
marketing will always work!
Over $225,000 added to your bottom line and 4,120 people
added to your downline in just 14 months is nothing to
sneeze at.
Yet, this 25-yr old "unknown" rookie network
marketer claims he can show any knuckle-head how to repeat his results. And thousands already agree.
And if *you* don't agree that his SYSTEM is the quickest and laziest way to build your network marketing business, then you get double your money back. Is this guy stupid or just plain brave?

Feb. 2, 2005 -- The U.S. stock market started 2005 with a whimper, rather than a bang. All domestic equity fund categories declined in January. The average stock portfolio dropped 2.71%, versus a loss of 2.53% for the S&P 500. The tech-heavy NASDAQ tumbled 5.20%.
A number of factors contributed to the weak markets in January. For starters, "investors likely took some profits following the post-election, fourth-quarter rally," noted Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist and director of equity research at Spencer Clarke LLC. High oil prices, worries surrounding the elections in Iraq, comments by the Federal Reserve that interest rates will rise this year, and concerns over the growing trade and budget deficits, also weighed heavily on investor sentiment, he added.
Although most corporate earnings matched or slightly exceeded analysts' estimates in the latest quarter, Sheldon noted that investors are worried that earnings growth will decelerate as the economy slows down. In fact, several high-profile companies like eBay (EBAY), Caterpillar (CAT) General Motors (GM), and Citigroup (C), have already issued profit warnings. Operating earnings growth for the S&P 500 is expected to average 9.47% in 2005, less than half of the 23.02% gain recorded last year, according to Howard Silverblatt, equity market analyst at Standard & Poor's.
The current bull market, now about 26 months old, may be entering its "latter" innings, although "we may now see a rotation from small-cap stocks to large-caps for market leadership," Sheldon said. Noting that small-caps have significantly outperformed large caps and the broader market over the past five years, he added that "as the economy softens, earnings growth weakens, and the Fed commits to further tightening, large-cap stocks, especially in defensive sectors like utilities, health care and consumer staples, will likely outperform as they have historically in such an environment." While 2005 is only one month old, money is already moving into these areas, away from small-cap issues and higher-beta cyclicals like technology, he said.
The weak dollar, another dark cloud hanging over investors, may also provide a benefit to large caps, said Matthew Sauer, co-manager of the Oak Value Fund (OAKVX). Many large firms export to foreign nations, while smaller companies restrict their products to local consumers, he noted. Although the dollar has rallied somewhat in the new year, Standard & Poor's chief economist David Wyss thinks it will be down by the end of the year. "Currencies always tend to move in stair-step fashion, he noted. "They take a step down, then stabilize or even rally a bit before taking the next step."
The market has provided mixed signals about its direction in 2005. Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor's, cites the famous 'January Barometer' theory, which espouses that "negative performance in January is typically a bad omen for the remainder of the year, particularly on the heels of two bullish years." However, he is forecasting a gain of 7.3% for the S&P 500 this year.
ICON Advisers Inc., which runs the ICON mutual funds, is upbeat about 2005. The firm's investment committee notes that interest rates are still at historically favorable levels, and while inflation has risen, it has done so at modest levels. They believe that current conditions remain favorable for U.S. stocks, and that domestic equity markets are presently about 17% undervalued.
Steve Neimeth, co-manager of the SunAmerica Value Fund/A (SSVAX), said that based on earning growth forecasts for 2005 and 2006, the markets are presently "fairly valued to undervalued." Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at Hartford Investment Management Co., said that during 2005, "absent any external or systemic shocks to the economy, economic and profit momentum should remain positive, with consensus estimates giving the broader market a return of 7%-10%."

As part of my job at a major aerospace corporation I have been investigating using various modulation schemes to send data over a very non-ideal path that has both poor frequency response and a nonlinear amplitude response. One technique I use to assess the merits of the various schemes is classic eye patterns. Even though I'm an absolute O-Matrix novice and a lousy programmer to boot, I found it very easy and fast to create the required tools for evaluating each modulation scheme, one of which is described below. In addition, I am able to easily distribute my applications to colleagues using the O-Matrix Development Kit. Manchester is one of the simpler encoding schemes which is best described by Figure 1 where a NRZ one is transmitted as a one-zero pair and a zero is transmitted as a zero-one pair with the state change occurring at the middle of the NRZ bit period.

Fat City is elsewhere
Survey claims San Diego among cities with least amount of obese people
Don Bauder 12:30 p.m., March 23
Politics can be fun and profitable at the same time. Just ask GOP congressman Duncan Hunter. On March 29, his reelection campaign offered special seats at a Bon Jovi concert held at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., to political action committees that kicked in $2000 each. Democrat Bob Filner, chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, threw two April fund-raisers, a breakfast at the Tortilla Coast restaurant near Capitol Hill and a "gala reception" at the Mission Bay Hilton. Admission for each ranged from $1000 to $5000 per person. In March, Filner's fellow Democrat Susan Davis offered "home-cooked-to-order omelets" at her house on E Street Southeast in Washington, D.C., where admissions also ranged from $1000 to $5000.... On March 29, the San Pasqual Indian Band won its case in federal court against Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger over how many slot machines it could install at its Valley View casino. On April 14 and 15, according to campaign disclosure records, the tribe's San Pasqual Casino Development Group gave a total of $37,500 to the gubernatorial effort of Democratic state attorney general Jerry Brown.
Hoping to hear soon about Duncan Hunter's next fun raiser for American-born children of illegal aliens. Or against. Whatever.
Perhaps if congressional representatives were stripped of American citizenship, then they could receive massive campaign donations from banks, insurers, corporations and other artificial persons without those bothersome conflicts of interest?

A great toy combines awesome fun with a higher level of recognition of beloved characters. Kids wear capes not only because capes are cool but to relive the adventures of superheroes. The same goes for stuffed animals in the shapes of cartoons and storybook characters. The Tickety Toc Clockhouse Train Set takes a fun animated world and makes it come alive in an engrossing set with plenty of activities.
Tickety Toc is a show with a simple formula that explores a magical world inside a cuckoo clock. Tommy and Tallulah make the clock ring at Chime Time and in between have adventures always with the literal and proverbial ticking clock. After an era of broken fourth walls with shows asking "Can you see the solution, kids?", it is refreshing to see a cartoon focusing on story. The problem-solving portion of educational programming is excellent for strengthening young minds, but it improves watchability and attention having rich and interesting characters facing dramatic adventure.
The Clockhouse Train Set includes figurines for Tommy and Tallulah as well as one of Tickety Toc's most beloved characters, Pufferty, the puppy-dog train. Pufferty is a clockwork train, which is already something many kids and even adults love, combined with a Dalmatian, one of the most recognized and adorable dogs, the most popular pet. Great design like that continues through the whole of the Clockhouse with gears and winding keys.
Even if a child is unfamiliar with the show and characters, the Tickety Toc Clockhouse Train Set is a great toy. The clockhouse is eye-catching and inspires imagination with its orange edging and many gears. The railroad track runs behind and around the house, allowing Pufferty the train to be driven around the base or pushed from the top, making him to roll down with roaring speed.
Not only does the Clockhouse Train Set look good; it is packed with fun things to do. The top doors, emulating the double doors of a cuckoo clock, pop open by turning the nearby blue gear. The lower door pops open as the winding key next to it is turned. In addition, the windows open and close, giving kids plenty to do and manipulate with their hands.
The Tickety Toc Clockhouse Train Set is a great toy. It takes up a good deal of space as a toy house with track surrounding it, yet is versatile and may interact well with other toys. There are about ten minutes worth of assembly required piecing the track together, meaning parents will need to follow some instructions. After it is assembled, the Clockhouse Train Set will be good to go for the rest of its toy life, easily taken apart for storage between playtimes or left up as a centerpiece to a toy table.

text: HomeNews 10 New Solar Power Charkhas Set up in Khadi Mills to Boost Output and Income of Artisans Neeti Vijaykumar March 16, 2016 News, Quick Bytes QUICK BYTES: Curated positive news from across the web. Read more. India's oldest industries are switching to renewable sources of energy, and for good reason. After the Railways, the latest to join the bandwagon is the Khadi industry. Replacing hand-driven charkha, or spinning wheels, the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) aims to make the lives of its workers much simpler. Manually, a spinning wheel can make about 30 hanks in a standard day of eight hours. An artisan operating a manual charkha. Source: pixabay.com But with the newly acquired solar powered charkha, about 75 to 90 hanks can be produced in the same time frame. In turn, an artisan's daily earnings go up from Rs 140 to Rs 350, which is a major morale boost for them. There's an expected rise of 300% output now that 10 solar charkha have been sourced from Udyog Bharti in Gujarat. Acquired under the Prime Minister's Employment Generation Program, one solar charkha costs about Rs 72,000. Subscribe Currently, these wheels are installed at Khadi factories in Anakapalle, Tuni, Narasannapeta, Vemulapudi, Krishnapuram, and Visakhapatnam. According to the KVIC, there's a higher chance that employment will increase in the industry, especially in the rural pockets of the country. The previous limitation of hard labour replaced with mechanically operated charkha and an increased output could motivate homemakers living in these rural areas to join the workforce. According to estimates, 7 to 8 million jobs could be added. The KVIC had announced plans of developing solar powered spinning wheels almost a year ago. After trials of the solar charkha in the Khanwa village in Bihar, the government's proactive push for these machines made it a possibility now. Encouraged by positive responses from the artisans, K Brahmajee Rao, divisional director of KVIC, plans to acquire more spinning wheels. In a quote to The Hindu, he said, "The plan is to get 10 solar charkha for major Khadi institutions and five for medium ones that fall in the bracket of the divisional office of KVIC in Vishakhapatnam." Solar powered charkha also saves electricity. Khadi, a 'green' fabric, consumes lesser water as opposed to other fabrics during production. The move to switch to solar charkha makes the Khadi industry a shining example of a sustainable, employment generating, eco-friendly industry. Feature image source: The Hindu Like this story?

Discussion (25) ¬
So a cat thief and a sarcastic demon are sitting in an ancient vault…
Thre's a joke there somewhere.
I like him. He's got a 'tude, and he's not afraid to use it. XD
And I like her too. Even tied up, she don't take no shit from nobody.
I don't recall anyone trying to actually EAT him (in any sense of the word) back in Oakland. Then again, maybe that was a REAAALY bad highschool.. In which case, the Zymtex was more than justified.
Heh, that was just me taking a pot shot at the city. It's kind of got a reputation around California(and anywhere the Raiders have played) as being in general a terrible neighborhood.
No real Californian would criticize that. Oakland's nasty.
If I had to guess I would say he had been beaten up in school before, and since he got away here, he might think it is better.
At least here, only one person has directly tried to murder him and the rest either had other reasons for being jerks or were relatively polite…
Do you use adobe photoshop?
Yep! This comic's pretty much entirely digitally done. Use an intuos tablet and photoshop.
Nice comic dude, found it recently, and it certainly shows a lot of promise, both with the quality of the art and the writing. Keep it up!
Thank you very much! I'd like to think that it's only going to get better =)
I keep wondering… You know, if this was some over-the-top drama, I would make a shot of someone striking the back of Laz's throne with something big, pointy and chitinous.
Awesome second panel, that's for sure!
Yes i gotta say i love his attitude in this panel. Its absolutely endearing Somehting I'd probably do to her if I was in the same situation…
I found this comic by chance looking through links and I gotta say I'm very much looking forward to its continuation. Cant wait to see what else this little imp has in store for us.
I think schadenfreude is the driving force behind my writing. I try to make everybody entirely likable while still being so flawed you can comfortably enjoy watching them get into terrible trouble.
This is neat and funny. The kid has a brain and is not afraid to use it. Too many "character from Earth thrust into another realm" comics or stories I've seen online had the character either too prepared for it or too dumb to live (but still lives due to Deus Ex Machina).
The only thing that poses a problem to enjoying the story is the simple fact that it's being told by Laz himself. It's not a problem. It's just that when a story is narrated by the main character it usually means that no matter what dire situation they face you know they will survive it. This method of presenting a story ruins the feeling of danger up to where the character reaches the place they are narrating from but the journey tends to be more than interesting to make up for such a spoil. It's a sort of tradeoff really.
I look forward to how this plays out. I wish you luck (and the kid too but we know he's going to live).
There are far worse things than Death… random person He is in hell after all or at least a deminsion close to it by the accounts of the cat woman.
Being alive to tell the story doesnt nessarilty befret him of a bad ending for him. Though I personally hope not its certainly a possiblity.
Death is kind of hard to make stick in mythology. There aren't too many situations, even where characters do die, that leaves them unable or unwilling to contribute to the story.
I don't think people would like any of my more realistic stories because I Whedon all the best characters all the time XD
Of course, if I made things all smiles and sunshine I'd hardly be doing my inspirations any justice, either. 'Life sucks, and then you gouge your own eyes out with lapel pins', as the old plays go.
I suppose that is true.
HA! If that's a reference to what I think it was… Oedipus Rex right?
Hehe, yep! Good call.
HES RIGHT…IVE BEEN THER MUG SHOT AND RAPED ALL IN 5 MIN.Ssrry emotinal
Caught with her claws in the cookie jar, with only a devil boy she left to die in the desert to help her…Not her best day is it? XD
I love how cute she looks as a chibi, and I like how their "partnership" is being forged bit by bit, more interesting this way
i always get inherently happy when i see someone else using the oakland joke. I spend so much time speaking with out-of-state/country people who don't understand D:
I guess it's one of those places you have to see for yourself…
And still nowhere near as bad as Torrance.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Michael Jackson's 2009 death, was sentenced Tuesday to four years behind bars. He will also lose his medical license.
Judge Michael Pastor imposed the maximum sentence for Murray, but Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore says his sentence is automatically reduced to two years under Assembly Bill 109. Murray, however, will be required to serve all of his halved sentence, minus 47 days he has already served.
The prosecution has also requested that Murray pay more than $101,000,000 in restitution. A hearing will take place on Jan. 23 to determine how much he will owe to Jackson's estate.
"It should be very clear that medical experiments will not be tolerated, and Mr. Jackson was an experiment," Pastor told the court room.
Brian Panish, attorney and friend of the Jackson family, read the following statement:
"There is no way to adequately describe the loss of our beloved father, son, brother and friend. We still look at each other in disbelief. Is it really possible that he is gone? As Michael's parents, we could never have imagined that we would live to witness his passing. It is simply against the natural order of things. As his brothers and sisters, we will never be able to hold, laugh or perform again with our brother Michael. And as his children, we will grow up without a father, our best friend, our playmate and our dad.
"We are not here to seek revenge. There is nothing you can do here today to bring Michael back. But we will keep the love in our hearts that Michael embodied throughout his life. His passion was for unifying the world through the gift of his artistry. We respectfully request that you impose a sentence that reminds physicians that they cannot sell their services to the highest bidder and cast aside their Hippocratic oath to do no harm. As we all know from this tragedy, doing so can have devastating results. The Bible reminds us that men cannot do justice, they can only seek justice. That is all that we ask as a family. And that is all that we can ask for here."
A jury of seven men and five women deliberated for less than two days before finding Murray guilty on Nov. 7.
Prosecutors argued that Murray acted in a criminally negligent manner after giving Jackson a powerful dose of the anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid.
The defense, however, maintained that Jackson took a deadly dose of the medication when Murray left his bedroom hours before the singer's death.
"Michael is watching over us," Jackson's sister, Latoya, tweeted earlier this month. "VICTORY!!!!!! Thank you EVERYONE for your love and support! It will ALWAYS be appreciated!"

The Job Collector
Please, do not adjust your monitors.
Yes, I know it is Thursday and not Waffle Wednesday. But some weeks, one day of celebration is just not enough.
Same protein waffle recipe as yesterday. But today topped with Lori's buckwheat honey marshmallow fluff and almond butter mixed with syrup.
So much decadence for 9 in the morning. I almost couldn't handle it. But then I got a grip on myself and gobbled it all up :)
Other wonderful eats from the day included a homemade shrimp burger. I remember seeing shrimp burgers on the menu of a burger place in Calgary. I desperately wanted to try it, but knew that when in Calgary, you eat the beef. Needless to say, the idea of a shrimp patty has been teasing my taste buds ever since.
Started with a dozen large raw shrimp (bought frozen then defrosted). Cut up small then mixed in:
- 1 tbsp bread crumbs (I used a smashed up rye cracker)
- 1 tbsp egg whites
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (Yes a whole tablespoon. Do it.)
- Pinch dried garlic
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- Pinch black pepper
It's not a sticky mixture like beef or turkey burgers. Very wet and sloppy because shrimp is so, well, wet. I plopped it on my George Foreman grill, but you could also put it in a frying pan or the oven. Just make sure it's at a low temp and as time to cook on one side so it doesn't crumble when you try to flip it over.
Makes one large patty. Eaten on an english muffin with spinach, red onion, ketchup and mustard.
Ohmy. It was goooood. The mayo in the mix is what really made it tasty. I have a feeling my taste buds will be wanting this more often!
On the side I had some of my microwave sweet potato chips. All you do is slice up a sweet tater real thin, spread it out on a plate, season, and nuke for a ludicrous amount of time. For these, I microwaved them for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooled, they get crunchy like a chip!
While not eating today, I was also exercising. Almost done the first week of my new lifting split and I really like it! My body was completely hammered after a week off exercise. Major DOMS after my first couple days. Even from just doing sprints on the elliptical! Anyways, if you're curious, here is what my Shoulder/Abs workout looked like today:
Warm-up: 5 minutes walking on the treadmill + 1 mile run
Straight sets:
Arnold press @ 10 lbs x 15
15 lbs x 10
20 lbs x 5
10 lbs x 10
Alternating sets (x3):
Cable lateral raise @ 2.5 lbs x 12
Cable horizontal woodchop @ 12.5 lbs x 12
Superset (x3):
Mountain climber x 60 sec
Plank ups x 10
Superset (x3):
Russian twist on bosu 6lbs x 30
Plank on bosu x 60 sec
Superset (x3):
Squat with front raise x 20 (holding swiss ball)
Prone jackknife x15
Cool-down: 1 mile run + 5 minutes walking
That opening press set killed my shoulders. It was all downhill from there ;) And in case you can't tell, I hate doing crunches. Give me a plank any day!
Kind of ironic that I just started myself on a weight lifting focused workout routine, as I suspect I may now be doing a lot more running!
You see, I got a part-time job! At a running store!!
Even though I am a full-time personal trainer, I still don't work the usual 8 hours a day. My client base is still increasing, but I am finding myself with a lot of down time. Especially on weekends. So I'll be selling running shoes, clothing, gadgets and apparel to Toronto runners in my spare time. The extra money will be great and I'm really looking forward to meeting some more fitness-minded folk! They also do a run club and running clinics that I'll probably start participating in as well. I'm pretty stoked about the employee discount. I'm desperate for a new pair of running shoes!
I'd just like to say, as for my full-time job of training, I am loving it. I'm to the point now where I'm starting to see results with my clients (one guy has already dropped 8% body fat with me!) and it is so rewarding. Not to mention, I've already had a few clients renew training packages with me, so it's nice to know they like and respect me enough to want to keep working with me!
Now I am off to pack! I'm heading to Buffalo, NY for weekend with some friends. A special edition Fitness Friday post will be going up, but it will have to last you until I'm back on Sunday. Have a great weekend everyone! xo
Doggone It
Happy Saturday friends!! This is my last weekend as a working woman. Or, at least until I become an employed Torontonian. <—that word looks silly
I was thisclose to calling it a rest day today, but I got my butt out of bed and managed to stay pretty active!
I passed out at the usual time last night and was up at the usual workweek time. My body likes to stick to a schedule, what can I say.
I've actually been going through nut butter faster than I can eat oats out of them! Not today though. I've been saving this baby ;)
I savoured this so slowly that it actually got cold by the end. Something that never happens in the insulated jar. Maranatha should just sell near-empty jars ;)
That held me over for a while because there was probably a quarter cup's worth of almond butter in there (exaggeration, maybe). Grabbed a "treat" for a snack to power me through kickboxing.
I want to like this flavour, as in my head it should taste like a chocolate chip cookie (probably my favourite food on the whole planet).
But I think I rather just eat a buttery cookie. Still a decent bar though – Maple Nut is the best!
Body Combat was not as tough this week! It's a new "release," which means the songs and moves have all changed. A lot less jumping around, and a lot more punching. Meant my heart rate was lower, and my already sore biceps are now super angry at me. Incline curls kill them every single time.
The forecast called for rain today, but it hadn't started yet by the time I got home. Archie was aalll over me to go for a walk, so I tempted fate and took him. Ten minutes in the sun came out and it was beautiful!! Ended up taking him along the river, for just over an hour. Archie was a total rockstar and made friends with everyone we met. People are never that friendly when it's just me ;)
I also did a lot of observing of my fellow dog walkers – it's true that people and their pets resemble each other.
It was almost 3pm by the time I sat down for lunch and I was starved.
Nothing fancy, just food in my belly as quickly as I could get it there.
Hummus, laughing cow, tuna and tomato sandwich.
Lemon yogurt mixed with plain (to cut back on the sweetness) and some All Bran Buds for crunch.
This was crazy delicious. It was probably part hunger, but definitely a satisfying meal :)
Archie had something to eat too, and then passed out from exhaustion.
Poor fella, he was really struggling to keep up towards the end of the walk! He definitely doesn't have the same energy he did 13 years ago…
Dinner was a quick and simple stir-fry.
Shrimp and chicken breast with a plethora of frozen veggies (Europe's Best Imperial Blend) sesame oil, Bragg's and a drizzle of teriyaki.
And just so we're clear, I had a piece of chocolate after every single meal today ;)
After dinner, I went out for another walk with a friend! 90 minutes in and all around downtown. T'was fun, but my feet are hurting after being on them all day. Going to spend the rest of the evening curled up, finishing Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: The Pioneer Woman's true life Harlequin romance story . Love her.
Question of the Day: If you could get any (additional) pet, what would it be? This is something else I think about a lot, because I reallyreally want a dog someday. Probably the only thing that makes me desire settling down. Depending on where I live, I want either a basset hound or a cavalier king charles spaniel. Both of which probably resemble me in some way ;)

I was at Rock am Ring for the first time this year. It is a Rock/Metal/Punk/Alternative festival sponsored by MTV at the Nürburgring in Germany, a racetrack (Formula 1, I believe). The concerts are held on a portion of the track, with camping and parking grounds in a circle around it. The festival is each year at Pfingsten, a holiday in Germany. It is the biggest festival in Germany with an attendance above 100,000 with people coming in from all surrounding countries. This year it took place from the 6th to the 8th of June (Friday - Sunday). The price for a ticket was a whopping 99 Euros for the festival but included camping and parking. This is different than the previous years where you would pay for camping seperately. This did not go down well with people who live in the area who used to only pay for the festival itself. Food and beverages have also become cheaper this year (2,50€ for Coke/Fanta/Beer) plus the sanitary facilities supposedly recieved an upgrade and are also more numerous.
There are 3 stages on the festival grounds: the Center Stage, Alternastage and Talent Forum. The Center Stage hosts top acts such as this year's Metallica, Marilyn Manson and Iron Maiden. The Alternastage is mixed Alternative, Hip-Hop and Rock with bands such as Silverchair and The Hives. The Talent Forum is chaos genrewise, ranging from Mudvayne to Flogging Molly. Bands mostly play simultaneously on these stages but they're loud enough to drown the others out once you're close enough.
Here is this year's (2003) lineup in order of appearance:
Center Stage Murderdolls The Donnas Lifehouse Maná The Cardigans Zwan Iron Maiden
Alternastage Whyte Seeds Joachim Deutschland mia Blackmail Die Happy Dandy Warhols The Hives Silverchair Reamonn
Talent Forum Straight Within Temptation Soil Tape Molotov Nothingface Theory of a Deadman Ministry Mudvayne Taproot
Center Stage Emil Bulls Clawfinger Stone Sour Apocalyptica Evanescence Audioslave Placebo
Alternastage Surrogat Saybia The Ark Tomte Turin Brakes Badly Drawn Boy Stereophonics Dave Gahan
Talent Forum Instructive Cancelled Venice Lucky 7 Flogging Molly Virginia Jetzt! Swosh Underwater Circus InMe Chevelle The Hellacopters

Personal Experience
Apart from the fact that I didn't shower for three days and I guaranteed myself a nice skin cancer with a monster sunburn on the first day, RAR was pretty fun. We weren't extremely drunk but were able to keep slightly inebriated during the whole three days. RAR is BIG. Our camping spot, though right next to our parking space was a half hour from the actual festival. All along the way in every niche imaginable, were tents, garbage and drunk young adults. Not to say there weren't any older people there; i saw at least a couple older metalheads (even one in a wheelchair). The heat was murder, somewhere around 35 degrees centigrade. What made it worse was the absence of smog to filter any of the sunlight. Thus the collossal sunburn over my whole back and legs that is still healing now, 2 weeks later. Because of the heat we moved ourselves and our beer into the nearby woods which helped enormously. Each day we would spend most of the morning and afternoon there, drinking warm beer from 5 liter kegs. We were up around 9 every morning, since it was impossible to sleep any longer because of the sun shining on our tents. In the evening we eventually went to see some bands, usually around 6-7 PM when it turned a bit cooler. The bands I saw personally were:
Murderdolls: Like a funny version of Slipknot Iron Maiden: Came to late and only caught the last couple songs Deftones: Likewise, but still cool to hear some of their songs Apocalyptica: Damn sweet, I learned an hour beforehand they were going to perform but still got up very close and they rocked Marilyn Manson: Nice show but I didn't like the music enough to be crammed between so many sweaty, half-naked people and get shoved around all the time Audioslave: Finally heard them for the first time, too bad I was far in the back Silverchair: Music wasn't bad but stopped being fun after the lead singer started insulting Iron Maiden Stone Sour: Some good music, but also only saw them for a couple of songs Metallica: The last group I saw and by far the best, rocking like hell for two hours playing all the old classics and two off the new album, this is also where I crowdsurfed, feeling like a god for a minute until security up front pulled me out and sent me to the back again
Things You Need
If you ever consider going to RAR there are certain things you MUST have in your pack.
(Don't even THINK about going to RAR without beer. If you never drank it, you will. If you usually drink in moderation you will become a short time alcoholic and if you ARE an alcoholic, stay away from the place altogether. We were 4 people who brought along seven 5 liter kegs and 4 bottles of vodka. This was hardly enough, distributed over 3 days. Food isn't particularly important (unless you smoke a lot of weed) since you will be drinking most of the time. A couple of cans of beans will suffice.)
(If you don't smoke: Good for you. But if you do, you'll need a sizable amount of packs to get you through all three days. You can easily smoke one to two packs a day, not counting friends and total strangers who try to hit on you for a cig. A good choice is rolling tobacco: You automatically smoke less because you have to roll the cigarette first and a tobacco packet lasts for much longer than your average pack. Besides, less people want cigarettes from you. Two packets lasted me all three days.)
(For more than just ass-wiping. Can be used to clean cups, forks/spoons/knives, plates, extract insects from your tent, clearing your nose, start a fire or wrap around the black strings of your tent that everybody seems to be tripping over.)
C. FLASHLIGHT D. LIGHTER(s) E. POCKET KNIFE WITH CAN OPENER F. MANY PLASTIC EATING UTENSILS G. CONDOMS
(All kinds of things happen at these festivals. Simply asking for sex won't hurt you, and your chances are better than anywhere else, believe me).
Also, try to get there on Wednesday. We started Thursday evening and hit a massive traffic jam at 9 that lasted until 2:00 AM (!!!). Luckily it was as fun as hell with people getting out of their cars and drinking, playing music and just having fun. After you to get to RAR, find out where the hell you are, since it's a bit hard to get your bearings at first. Print out a map from http://www.rockamring.de and take it with you. Get a playlist too. If there's a band you really, really like that everyone else likes, come a band or two earlier to make sure you get a good spot.
Rock On!

Jonti is a multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, and vocalist making his splendid debut on Stones Throw. The album is influenced by the Australia-based artist's favorites: Madlib, Stereolab, Free Design and The Beach Boys (a sweet combination!). Cartoonist / filmmaker Norma Mclaren was also a huge inspiration, as Jonti explains "his films are complex, but they're still fun. You can feel his enthusiasm for techniques and experimentation." Tracks like "Firework Spraying Moon," "Twirligig," "Snickers Hiss," "Spooky Sport," "Solar Smoking Dogs," and "Hornets Nest" are based on the aforementioned "complex-but-fun" paradigm, making the album very accessible, but with plenty of intricate textures and layers for listeners to explore. Cool psychedelic patterns on the cover too. Recommended.

He reads 2 years or more below grade level, yet the school gives him average grades. For a long time, we were clueless and didn't notice. We Pushed for Significant Change This year, we got a great comprehensive evaluation from an independent evaluator. For the next school year, we pushed for significant changes and had these changes written into the IEP:
Against our advice, the school set the reading goal unrealistically high. Apparently, they are optimists! We Requested ESY We wanted our son to get some reading help over the summer to help him reach this goal. The school district said summer school did not meet our son's needs. I started researching Extended School Year (ESY) regulations. Before our third and final IEP meeting of the season, we wrote twice via email and requested the IEP team add Extended School Year (ESY) services to the agenda. The emailed reply was: "Yes, I will add ESY. However, I believe we would all agree that ESY does not meet Alex's needs. It is generally offered to the DD and DLP students, not resource students." We Did Our Research We've read www.wrightslaw.com and many other fine websites and books. We know the school's reasoning is contrary to the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) for two reasons.
Despite of what the school said, they did not add ESY to the agenda before the meeting. When the meeting began, we asked the team to add ESY to the agenda again. The general feeling in the room was exasperation. Finally, they added ESY as the last item. When ESY finally came up, the school team told us again that Alex didn't qualify for these services. The school does not offer ESY to resource students. The summer school reading program is the same program that is currently failing Alex. Navigating Around Roadblocks I then made my prepared and practiced statement:
"Therefore, we propose that Alex see a reading tutor 2 or 3 times per week for 6 weeks over the summer at the district's expense." The room became very quiet. The coordinator and facilitator tried to argue with us. I told them, "It' says that you can't deny ESY based on category of disability or type of service." They responded, "I don't know what "It" is you are reading." We handed them a copy of our state's memo on ESY. (http://www.isbe.state.il.us/spec-ed/pdfs/memo_esy_01.pdf) "Oh, that," they replied. I told them I would like to hear what the rest of the team thought. We've found this is a very useful technique. Everyone in the room is not a roadblock; most of them just won't speak up. Finally, our son's regular ed teacher said she thought tutoring was a good idea. Then the assistive technology person agreed, and... We were on our way. The school committed to and agreed to pay for tutoring for the summer as extended school year services. Created: 08/27/08 Do

well, i have finished making our very exciting, newest button set just in time for tomorrow's reclaimed craft fair (actually, today's, at this point). if these wayward characters happen to look familiar to you, it is because they were designed by sara guindon to both be distributed by the sweetie pie press and to join the pin pals family. the set is simply titled pin pals and suggest many possible social story lines (to me, anyway). i can see this gang (or members thereof) having an argument across a lapel, a romance on a handbag or a reconciliation in the midst of a cork board. sara's got a real knack for imparting attitude and personality to her illustrated figures. i just hope they don't mess my apartment up while i sleep.
the reclaimed craft fairs, by the way, are a new initiative of crafty happenings with a recycling bent in and around the kitchen/waterloo area. tomorrow's happenings are in cambridge. i felt a little guilty thinking about all the more eco-friendly crafts out there (marnie). but then i realized that the security envelopes buttons are made from reclaimed paper as are jesjit's $$ button sets (the posters used were, after all, his cast-offs) and the worksite accidents prints are also done on reused pages from an electrical manual. actually, i also print on reclaimed paper for many of my buttons. so i may not be running an entirely second-use business here but i was surprised to see how much of my material is being given a second go around. i still think i can do better. and thinking towards a show like this really got the wheels turning.
actually, that notion ties into a new top-secret project i have just agreed to undertake for todd falkowsky's souvenir shop project. it's a self-imposed top-secrecy (mostly because i don't want to disappoint anyone by not coming through) but a little too exciting not to leak hints about. i am very flattered to have been asked to contribute.
