Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.
–Albert Einstein
It struck me as I was standing on the lip of the stage at the opening of TRUTH, the new folk opera about Sojourner Truth that we commissioned two years ago. There was a collective joy that all 841 of us felt as we recognized each other as creative collaborators. The boisterous applause said, "Look what we did together!" It was a revelation that has been with me since.
I've felt that reciprocal creative relationship with audiences for years but in recent months it has been gathering some kind of exponential steam. For instance, our Double Take Fringe Festival in November 2011 felt like a surprise party for the performing arts as hundreds of new and old friends joined in. And when Old Deerfield Productions proposed a community engaged "Madwoman of Chaillot" to the owners of Artsblock and the Pushkin Gallery this summer to continue the momentum we were met with nothing but "yes." So June 29-July 8 we will celebrate downtown Greenfield as the City of Light with the streets filled with jubilant performers and local luminaries as we prove that "nothing is ever so wrong in this world that a sensible woman can't set it right in the course of an afternoon."
So what is going on? Why so much "yes" now? Has Richard Florida's creative economy finally taken hold here? In the Valley we have a strong sense of pride in place. We love our home. And we love who we are in our home. The creative community has historically thrived in the perhaps more affluent towns of Amherst and Northampton. What is shifting is the sense of creative ownership in the outlier communities like Holyoke, Greenfield, and Springfield. Our Venn diagram is growing more circles! Something is greasing the flywheel in new ways but why?
Have we reached some kind of creative critical mass? Are there enough creators, innovators and artists who collaborate that resistance is diminishing? Does the world communicate so easily that collaborating has become the new normal? We've learned that putting the water cooler in a central location fosters innovation. Have our smart phones become the new water cooler? Do we finally understand that we all are artists?
Maybe we should leave these questions for the great data crunchers who make sense of it all and, rather than ask why "yes", ask what does "yes and" look like? One thought toward "yes and" might be to take these collaborative relationships and expand them. We already have a strong network of performing arts collaborators creating with a high level of Q. What is Q? I read about it in Imagine: How Creativity Works, by Jonah Lehrer. The following excerpt describes the intimacy and strength of social networks involved in Broadway productions:
Brian Uzzi, a sociologist at Northwestern, has spent his career trying to answer these crucial questions (how do we best work together) and he's done it by studying Broadway musicals….Uzzi spent five years analyzing thousands of old musicals because he sees the art form as a model of group creativity….Uzzi undertook an epic study of nearly every musical production on Broadway between 1877 and 1990, analyzing the teams behind 2, 258 different productions…(he) discovered that people who worked on Broadway were part of an extremely interconnected social network: it didn't take many links to get from the librettist of Guys and Dolls to the choreographer of Cats. Uzzi then came up with a way to measure the density of these connections… a designation he called Q. In essence the amount of Q reflects the "social intimacy" of people working on the play, with higher levels of Q signaling a greater degree of closeness….a team of artists who worked together several times before… (were seen as) less risky – that musical would have an extremely high Q. In contrast, a team of strangers would have a low Q.
In the performing arts we are used to working with a pretty high level of Q. We work repeatedly with our favorite choreographers, composers, playwrights, designers to make work that we seek to make meaningful. Many are reaching further to collaborate with other artists: painters, sculptors, puppeteers, humanists, poets, sculptors, filmmakers, animators, and more to create events where we gather to be lifted. Take, for example, how Andy Baio is making it happen in Portland with the XOXO Festival. All are exciting ways to expand our Q but there are further reaches that are waiting to be explored.
Let's reach past our comfort zones into other disciplines to create art that explores problems. This is not a new idea but surely isn't yet the norm. As an example, let's invite art and science practitioners to form high Q relationships here in the Valley. Let's look to form a coalition between the Green Movement and the Performing Arts community. These events and festivals could fill our streets and empty buildings. The Turners Falls River Culture is a great step forward. What about health, poetry and dance? Social Justice, puppetry, and animation? Let's meet the creators doing this work already and think about how can we bundle that work to spread it further. And let us educate our children to increase the collective Q by offering them the chance to cross disciplines and make collaborative art for credit. Surely some are doing this already, let them teach the rest of us how to teleport through the rigid walls of departments and colleges. It's more than possible and yearning to happen. I know it is because we recognized each other across the footlights. I felt it and so did you.

Three Metro Schools Seniors Advance in National Math, Science and Technology Competition
Three Metro Schools seniors were honored as semifinalists in the 2016 Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology, the nation's premier research competition for high school students. The students were recognized for projects they completed as part of their participation in The School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt (SSMV), a program exclusively for Metro Schools high school students developed in partnership with Vanderbilt University's Peabody College of education and human development. "The achievements of these students should be commended. This is just one of the many examples of how our partnership with the SSMV benefits students throughout our district," said Dr. Kristopher Elliott, the district's STEM director. "Through their successful participation in the Siemens Competition, these students have clearly demonstrated their exceptional mastery of applied research in real world STEM concepts. We are grateful for the efforts of the Vanderbilt faculty in the SSMV and especially Dr. Virginia Shepherd for her leadership of the program."
The semifinalists are:
Micah Foster Hume-Fogg Magnet High School, for "The SNARE-Clamp Protein Complexin 1 Regulates Synaptic Remodeling," mentor David Miller, Cell & Developmental Biology
Alice Irizarry Hillsboro High School, for "Accuracy of Resting Functional MRI for Language Lateralization in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy," mentor Victoria Morgan, Radiology & Radiological Sciences
Anna Reside Martin Luther King Jr. Magnet School, for "Stable Isotope Ecology of the Arid Adapted Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus)," mentor Larisa DeSantis, Earth & Environmental Sciences
Foster, Irizarry and Reside are among five semifinalists from Tennessee. None advanced as finalists. Nearly 1,600 projects were submitted to the Siemens competition this year, and 498 students from independent and team projects were selected as semifinalists nationwide.
SSMV students begin working hands-on with a Vanderbilt faculty member in their junior year to complete a research internship. While in the laboratory, students contribute to the scientific research goals of the professor through completion of an independent project. Students then present their research project in several formats and compete in several national science competitions.
SSMV is a function of the Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach in the Department of Teaching and Learning. Dr. Virginia Shepherd is director of the Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach. Dr. Angela Eeds is the director of SSMV, which has received support from a National Institutes of Health NCRR Science Education Partnership Award, Metro Nashville Public Schools and other generous donors.

Kerfuffle ~ MagnoliaBA-081
About the Kerfuffle Batt
A swirling vortex of contrasting textures, colours and staple lengths. Equally weird and wonderful each Kerfuffle batt is more then one of a kind. Made all my favourite odds and ends, little bits of fluff. From the most luxurious local BFL Lamb fleece and Alpaca to Merino, Como, Targhee, Rambouillet, rooster feathers, recycled silk, bamboo, fire star, icicle top, Angelina, and hand dyed silks these batts are sure to please. Some full of bold texture and others a little more subtle no two are ever the same and I mean ever!
The Kerfuffle batt is a must have in your fibre stash for when inspiration strikes. You can spin them fine to bulky alone or combine it with another batt. Even a combo spin with roving or combed top for added mileage. Felt as is or deconstruct it completely for your needle and wet felt* projects.
Want a Challenge? Prep and spin a heavy lace weight!
Not sure where to start? Check out my YouTube Channel for the Kerfuffle series.
*Although wet felting should be possible the results cannot be guaranteed due to the large variety of fibres. Most are feltable, but some will felt slower or fast and some may not felt well at all.
*subject to availability, see FAQ section for more information

The Groosalugg, nicknamed "Groo" by Cordelia, was a half-demon warrior and champion of Pylea. His name meant "brave and undefeated."
The Groosalugg was a native of Pylea, a hell dimension where humans were treated as slaves and called cows. He was part demon and part human, but apparently more human since his only non-human physical characteristic was a pair of brightly colored eyes. He also spoke with unique syntax, bordering on kitsch. Because of his human heritage, he was banished to the "Scum Pits of Ur". He entered every contest of skill and daring that he could in an attempt to die. Instead, he won every match, defeating Flame beasts, Drokken Beasts, and everything else he went up against. He once happened upon a herd of Bur Beasts and was forced to stand perfectly still for eleven days and nights. He earned a reputation for bravery and combat skill, and as such he wandered the countryside as an undefeated champion, or "Groosalugg".
A prophecy foretold that the Groosalugg would one day "com-shuck", or mate, with the entity that has "the curse," which turned out to be Cordelia Chase's visions. After the two had mated, Cordelia's visions would be passed on to him. Since Pylea was dominated by monks loyal to Wolfram & Hart, this would put the instrument of The Powers That Be under the control of the Senior Partners. Cordelia did not want this, at first because she believed the Groosalugg to be more demon-like, but this objection fell when Cordelia met him and saw that he was, in fact, very handsome and nearly human. However, Cordelia still did not want to consummate their relationship because she did not want to lose the visions. Groo ended up proving that he was a good man, not a tool of evil, and helped Cordelia and the rest of Angel Investigations to escape Pylea, albeit after being defeated by Angel in combat thanks to Angel transforming into his more feral Pylean self. Groo was installed as monarch of Pylea, the first to preside over the freedom of the human former slaves.
Los Angeles
Angel and Cordelia were close to starting a relationship when Groo unexpectedly appeared in Los Angeles. He explained that he had been deposed in a revolution on Pylea, and decided to find Cordelia again. The feelings that Cordelia had for Angel were immediately put on hold, and instead, she chose to rekindle her romance with Groo. She even went as far as to find a mystical spell which allowed her both to have sex with Groo and retain her visions and gave him a makeover to have him resemble Angel right down to his hairstyle. Angel was jealous of Groo for many reasons, including that Cordelia chose Groo over him and that Groo was just as formidable a fighter as himself. For a time, Angel was concerned that Groo would replace him since he possessed equally dangerous combat skills while he lacked most of Angel's weaknesses, but Wesley Wyndam-Pryce assured Angel that he remained their reason and drive for fighting the good fight in the first place. Despite proving his continued worth to the group with a victory against a life-sucking tree demon that Groo could never have defeated himself, Angel gave Cordelia money and asked that she and Groo go on an extended holiday since he was unable to stand being witness to their relationship.
When Cordelia and Groo returned, they found that some terrible things had happened in their absence, such as Connor being stolen by Holtz and Wesley having betrayed the team in an attempt to protect Connor from a prophecy that seemed to foretell Angel killing his son. Cordelia immediately began to pay more attention to Angel, and Groo started to realize that Cordelia did not love him but rather Angel. Groo finally mustered up the courage to tell Cordelia this, and he then left Los Angeles.
Fall of Los Angeles
When Los Angeles was sent to Hell, Groosalugg resided in Silver Lake and served as champion to Lorne, Lord of Silver Lake. During Angel's visit to Lorne, Groo offered the ex-vampire his services whenever he needed them. He appeared riding what appears to be a black horse with wings. When Lorne reassembled the Angel Investigations team in order to help Angel fight the other Demon Lords' champions, he helped by breaking the chains of Angel's dragon, allowing it to join in the fight. Later, he and his winged horse, Cordelia, slayed the dragon horde sent by Wolfram & Hart. Groosalugg was killed by an enraged Illyria.
Groosalugg was resurrected due to the time reversion by the Senior Partners. Angel later asked him to look after his dragon, since it was impractical for him to continue living in the restored Los Angeles. Upon learning the dragon's name, Groo expressed excitement at having "two Cordy's" to call his own.
Sometime after aiding Angel, Illyria and Lorne in preserving the "Music of the Spheres", Groo was requested to assist Spike in Las Vegas. He traveled to the city on his dragon, Cordelia, and arrived just in time, saving Spike from falling off of a building.
Personality and traits
Groo possesses numerous bizarre traits: he is impish yet charming, charismatic yet disarming, manly and heroic yet innocent and bubbly. Groo is a gentleman and due to how he was raised and his internalized nature, he has impeccable taste and manners, fit to be a King, although he is far more modest and humble than most Kings. Despite having been abandoned at an early age, he seemed to bear no ill will to those responsible, as seen by the apparent comfort he exhibits when in the company of demons, seemingly viewing them as equals. He is a positive person and is humorously misunderstood most of the time since he finds it hard to express himself on Earth, since it is so different to what he has known all his life. He has a big case of foot-in-mouth disease, and the funny thing is he doesn't know it. In battle however the story is completely different. Fighting is a universal language after all, and Groo speaks it so fluently that it is strange to compare his strong, determined, knowledgeable combatant persona with his seemingly yet adorably docile, soft natured, giddy personality under normal circumstances.
Despite his fierce warrior nature he is surprisingly sensitive, realising Cordelia and Angel's growing attraction for one another and nobly if sadly stepping aside for what he knows is the right thing to do.
Initially, Groo possessed long black hair and dressed in medieval clothing. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, however, he was given a makeover resembling Angel, right down to wardrobe and hairstyle. By the time of the Fall of Los Angeles, Groo had returned to his original appearance.
According to Cordelia's remarks in 'Tomorrow' he appears to like to mix tuna fish with ice cream. He has a flair for interior decoration and claims that his mother's name was 'pommegranate'.
Powers and Abilities
Groo was well-known in Pylea for his combat skills. He possessed superhuman strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, agility, resistance, and regenerative abilities on a level similar to Angel, a Vampire of more as 200 years, and was deadly in both armed and unarmed combat, managing to best Angel in single combat.
- Because the Groosalugg was unaware of his human heritage, it means that his "deformity" was caused by long-recessive genes spontaneously springing to the front. This technically makes him mostly-demon, rather than half-demon.

We are tearing this planet apart – there's too many of us, we're practically walking (or, should we say, driving) pollution and the cause of global warming. Well, we're trying to make up for it and make an everyday life a little bit more sustainable. One of the ways to do that is to share, but there is a question of a pretty bipolar economic and social impact of this strategy. Apparently, carbon emission is a less problem than the question who's paying for the gas and who gets a free ride. It doesn't mean that we don't care about the planet, but we simply care much more about ourselves. That can be seen in the case of one of the most eco-friendly parts of sharing economy – the bike-sharing. Although the most eco-friendly places in the world (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands) have more than 70% cyclist out of the entire population, many countries still think that bike sharing services are important. Maybe the main reason for this lies in the fact that we are not sure about the size of the impact that bike sharing has on a climate change. Well, let's take a look what every turn of the pedal brings.

Why Scholarships?
The U.S. Friends of Chalmers Scholarship Program for U.S. Master's Students
Since the introduction of tuition fees for non-EU students in 2011, U.S. Friends has funded five scholarships for American students to get their Master's Degrees at Chalmers. The latest, Rebecca Gille, started her Master's studies in Sound and Vibration fall 2017. The scholarship of $35 000 covers the tuition fee for the 2-year Master's Program.
2018 – a very good year for U.S. students
Up until now, we have been able to offer a maximum of one scholarship each year to an American student. However, thanks to some very generous alumni and an amendment to the stipulations of an earlier donation, as well as an increase of large donations from our alumni group in the U.S, we are able to offer three full scholarships to American students in 2018.
The following scholarships were awarded at a ceremony in Seattle in May:
1. The U.S. Friends of Chalmers Rune Andersson Scholarship (covered in full by Mr. Rune Andersson, alumnus V68)
2. The U.S. Friends of Chalmers Bo Hedfors Scholarship (covered in full by Mr. Bo Hedfors, alumnus E68)
5. The U.S. Friends of Chalmers Scholarship (covered by a mix of large and smaller donations)
This is an unprecedented success and we want to thank all the donors! Now we are working on scholarships for the years to come and we hope for your continuous support! You can find information on our donation/scholarship plan for the upcoming years here.
Right now, we are eagerly awaiting the start of the semester and the arrival of three new awardees to Chalmers; Ilsa Juhlin, Michael Sikora, and Emma Norde, will begin their Chalmers adventures at the end of August. Stay tuned for more information and news on their progress.
An international environment at Chalmers fosters internationally skilled engineers, regardless of origin, and this in turn benefits both Swedish and international students as well as our global industry partners. Students of more than 50 nationalities are registered for Master's Programs at Chalmers.
So far, all U.S. Friends of Chalmers scholars have been excellent and we aim to attract more American students to our campus. They are great ambassadors for their home country, for Swedish/American relations, and they help increase the status of the Chalmers education in an international context.
With 40 cutting edge Master's Programs taught entirely in English, we know we have what it takes. Find information about our Master's Programs. What we need are scholarships to help these students finance their education – for that, we humbly ask for your support to the scholarship program. Donations to U.S. Friends of Chalmers help us attract more of the right talent from the U.S. to Chalmers and build on the already strong relations between our countries.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Insulin resistance, PCOS and the symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome are all linked together in a chain. I often talk about insulin resistance being the root cause of PCOS and wanted to spend a little more time today delving into this matter.
What is Insulin Resistance?
This is a condition where the body does not respond well to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that takes sugars in the blood and uses them to power the body, in a normal person cells in the body always accept insulin to enter and power their functions. When you have insulin resistance your cells for some reason do not always accept insulin. This results in high blood sugar levels because the sugars are not being dealt with which in turn makes the body release MORE insulin to counter it.
The result is what is known as hyperinsulinemia or too much insulin in the blood. This is what starts the hormonal imbalance in the body that characterises PCOS.
What Causes Insulin Resistance?
There is no known exact cause of this condition. Some say is is genetic and you are born with it and other say that lack of exercise and obesity causes it. However insulin resistance may also be the cause of obesity too. The chick and the egg question really. Insulin Resistance and PCOS are not always together though. If you have PCOS you do have insulin resistance but if you have insulin resistance you may not have PCOS. In fact if you conquer PCOS you may still have insulin resistance but you manage it so well it will not bother you.
What to do about Insulin Resistance
Dealing with insulin resistance, PCOS and the symptoms of PCOS are all the same thing. What must be done is to control your blood sugar and also to keep a balance to your hormones. This is sometimes hard to grasp but when you think of your internals like a machine that reacts to what you put into it and how you use it you can almost visualise the levels of insulin, androgens, estrogen and so forth that all must function properly to be free of PCOS.
A lot of this is diet related but there are many other facets phsyically and then there is the wntire mental game that makes or breaks your efforts.
I highly recommend Natural Ovarian Cysts Relief Secrets which has helped many people including my sister to overcome PCOS and insulin resiatance not just temporarily but for the long term.

Local Elections
Steinberg endorses Maureen Craft for Elk Grove City Council
Sacramento Mayor-elect Darrell Steinberg endorsed Elk Grove City Council candidate Maureen Craft on Monday, lending big-name support to a political newcomer.
Craft, 48, is challenging incumbent Steven Detrick for the District 3 seat on the council of the city of 160,000 in suburban Sacramento. Detrick, 60, was first elected to the council in 2008 and re-elected in 2012.
"Maureen Craft is a small-business owner and community advocate who is the exact kind of pragmatic progressive leader that we need on the Elk Grove City Council," Steinberg said in a press release. "As a state senator, I was proud to represent Elk Grove, and I'm proud to endorse Maureen Craft's campaign for City Council."
Two Sacramento city councilmen have endorsed Craft, Allen Warren and Larry Carr, as well as the Sacramento County Democratic Committee and several other democratic groups.
Detrick has endorsements from Assemblyman Jim Cooper, the Elk Grove Police Officers Association, the Sacramento County Republican Party, the Elk Grove Chamber PAC, and Sacramento County Supervisor Don Nottoli.

The benefits of all-metal carports include ease of installation, low maintenance demands, affordability and ease of relocation. Automobile owners who live in areas that receive powerful and damaging storms or an abundance of hail may prefer the protection that a metal carport with fully or partially protected sides provides.
All-metal carports are easy and quick to erect, and set-up does not require the aid of a professional. Putting up a carport usually only requires a hammer and screwdriver, but it is best to have at least two people involved in the job. Auto owners with a limited budget prefer the low cost of metal carports. The inexpensive cost is due to the overall affordability of metal compared to wood and the fact that metal carports are more common compared to wooden carports.
Versatility is another benefit of all-metal carports. Homeowners can paint them to match the appearance and style of nearby structures, such as a garage, home or shed. Auto owners who do a lot of moving find that metal carports are easy to disassemble and relocate. Even if the individual decides to remain in a single location long term, he may decide to move the carport somewhere else on his property.

A Taste of Summer
Nothing speaks more of summer's bounty than a humble farm stand's display of colorful, succulent tomatoes, a sight that prompts our taste buds to hum a happy tune. Often we are drawn to those that are symmetrically shaped and blemish-free, their picture-perfect looks making us think that they are indeed the "real deal." Frequently found sitting next to this handsome group is a variety called the "heirloom," which, because of its irregular shape, may be easily dismissed as a less than acceptable option. Don't let appearances deceive you, heirlooms are indeed one of summer's most mouthwatering delights.
Heirloom tomatoes are grown from seeds that have been passed down from generation to generation. Ordinarily, these seeds are at least 50 years old, having been hand-selected by farmers for a special trait. They are open-pollinated, meaning by insects or wind, not human hands. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the advent of the farm-to-table movement brought heirlooms to the attention of consumers and food writers. Heirloom tomatoes have become more popular in recent years because shoppers have discovered that they have a greater flavor than the hybrid variety. Hybrids, which are bred for their commercially attractive, uni- form appearance, often fall short when it comes to flavor. These are the tomatoes that are available year round at local grocery stores.
Worldwide, more than 3,000 varieties of heirloom tomatoes are actively being cultivated. In seed catalogs the number of offerings are much more limited. Intriguing names such as Yellow Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Ruby Gold, Green Zebra and Brown Derby are well known to gardeners. Heirlooms range in size from the Mexico Midget tomato, which is said to be the smallest and is the size of a blueberry, to the Mortgage Lifter, one of the largest, weighing in at two pounds or more. Brandywine tomatoes are an example of an heirloom beefsteak tomato. In this case, "beefsteak" means a type of tomato that is as meaty as a steak and contains few seeds. The Rutgers heirloom, introduced in 1934, is good for canning. For the home gardener there are many options to choose from.
Heirloom tomatoes offer a diversity of flavor and color. Interestingly, there is no correlation between a tomato's color and its flavor, and each variety may have its own unique taste. It is hard to determine the ripeness of blacks, or those with purple or brown tones. The best way to verify a tomato's ripeness is to give a gentle squeeze. It should feel soft to the touch, but not squishy. Surprisingly, heirlooms that are sold at grocery stores are not always locally grown. It is wise to remember that the farther your tomatoes have to travel, the less flavorful they will be. The best bet is to visit a local farm stand or farmers' market, to find just-picked flavor.
Although a farm's selection of heirlooms may not fit most people's preconceived notion of the perfect tomato, remember an irregular shape and mottled skin will not impact taste. Don't be deterred by a tomato with cracked skin; as long as your choice is not leaking juice, it is perfectly fine and just as tasty as its unblemished partners. Choose those that feel heavy for their size. Take a whiff, too. A ripe heirloom should give off an earthy odor, but avoid those that have a musty aroma, for they have more than likely passed their prime. Treat your heirlooms with kid gloves, since piling tomatoes on top of each other when bagging may squash those that are softer. If you are the lucky recipient of some of your neighbor's green tomatoes, be sure to keep them stem-side down in a paper bag or cardboard box arranged in a single layer. Always store your tomatoes in a cool place away from sunlight. There are conflicting opinions concerning refrigerating tomatoes. I lean toward keeping mine at room temperature as it seems to preserve the flavor.
Heirlooms tomatoes cost a bit more than their hybrid relatives, but they are well worth the extra cost. Heirloom tomatoes are all about flavor, color and texture. I love slicing into one of these delicious treasures and reveling in its sweet, rich flavor—truly, a taste of summer!
Charred Corn Salad with Cherry Tomatoes, Cilantro, and Cotija Cheese
Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish
From The Vermont Non-GMO Cookbook (Skyhorse Publishing, October 2017) by Tracey Medeiros.
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups fresh corn kernels (cut from 4 medium ears of corn)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice from 1 large lime
1 pint cherry tomatoes, preferably heirloom cherry blend, halved
1/2 cup finely sliced scallions, white and green parts
1/2 cup (loosely packed) fresh cilantro leaves, minced
2 ounces cotija cheese, finely crumbled, plus more for sprinkling
Method of Preparation
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Just as the butter begins to brown, add the corn, salt, and pepper, stirring often, until char marks appear all over, about 6 minutes. When the corn kernels start to jump around in the skillet, that is a good indication that the corn is done.
Transfer to a large bowl. Add the lime juice, tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, and cheese, tossing until well combined. Adjust seasonings with additional lime juice, if desired, and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with additional cheese. Serve at once.
Note: Cotija cheese is crumbly and salty, similar to feta cheese. It is also delicious when crumbled or grated over pizza and pasta dishes.
Note: Cherry tomatoes are a good substitute for the heirloom cherry blend tomato.
Variation: Add minced jalapeño, fresh basil, or mint to the mixture.

Chef Kristen Kish is inspired by the opportunity to bring people together through the shared experience of food, wine and hospitality. As chef de cuisine at Stir, Chef Barbara Lynch's demonstration kitchen and cookbook store in Boston, Kish plans a nightly menu that she prepares in front of 10 guests while explaining the processes and techniques involved. In her early life, Kish showed an affinity for food and enjoyed cooking shows such as the "Great Chefs of the World" series on The Discovery Channel. At first, she did not envision a career in the kitchen, instead attending college to study International Business. She discovered it was not for her. Her mother steered her toward cooking school and the rest, as they say, is history.

I'm getting tired of photographing nature, so as an attempt to make it more interesting, I decided to shoot in only black & white today. I'm not sure if that makes this any less boring, but I just felt like taking pictures. I wish I had more people to shoot every now and then. I'm always willing to take volunteers to learn on :)
Does anyone else see a little tiki man/santa clause face at the top of the fountain?

Event Crisis Management: 5 Tips to Help Event Planners Bounce Back
Crises happen to the best of us – that's life. In the events industry, there are many small details that go into the perfect event, so it should come as no surprise that things could possibly go awry here and there. Despite the fear of something going wrong, the best way to address a crisis is to prepare for it in advance. In some cases, that means avoiding the issue entirely while, in other cases, it means having a crisis response plan ready should something happen.
Regardless, things happen and life has a way of throwing us curve balls, so it is always a smart idea to know how to come back from what appears to be a crisis situation.
Separate Rational Thought From Emotion
This is a major part of gracefully bouncing back from a crisis, no matter the type. Emotions have a way of clouding judgment and, in the heat of the moment, sometimes things are said that can't be taken back. For this reason, it is always best to take a few steps back from the issue at hand – whether it means waiting until you calm down to respond to a negative review or asking someone else for advice, stay away from jumping into the middle of a situation before you've gotten a better perspective on it.
Don't Ignore It
It seems easy enough to delete that negative comment on social media or to simply brush that bad review under the rug. However, ignoring or deleting things that put you in a bad light can come across as shady to others. Transparency is key in the world of events so it's imperative to maintain an open and honest position, no matter what the situation is. Take responsibility and look for a solution that satisfies all parties involved. While it may seem difficult in the moment, your transparency will speak volumes about your company's professionalism.
Ditch the Blame Game
His fault, her fault, your fault – none of it matters after something goes wrong. The truth of the matter is that having a scapegoat does not justify the crisis. Any time that is spent playing the blame game is time that should be spent on creating solutions and ensuring that the crisis does not happen again. Avoid pointing fingers and, instead, work together to fix the situation.
Address the Deeper Issue
Once the immediate damage control is completed, it is time to look at the bigger picture. Why did this particular situation happen? How did it get caused? Did you have to cancel the event? Rather than looking at what others could have done differently, look at the systems in place to see where there are gaps and what can be fixed. Was it an issue in the timeline creation? Was there a slip up in vendor communication? Look at the underlying cause and find a way to reinforce your procedures to ensure it does not happen again.
Move Forward
One of the biggest mistakes a professional can make after an event crisis is to dwell on it. Do not waste your time overanalyzing what happened and thinking about all of the ways you could have prevented it. It is in the past – once you have addressed the issue and ensured that it will not happen again, the best thing you can do is to simply move on. Consider it a lesson learned and refocus your energy into your making your upcoming events that much better.
A crisis can be a scary situation, but it is also an opportunity to become a better professional and to grow your company. Everybody makes mistakes, but the successful people are the ones who learn from theirs and continue working at it.

Fall happens to be my all-time favorite season! I thoroughly enjoy the change in the air and temperature. Living in south Florida makes you appreciate the 5 degree drop in temperature and the change in humidity levels like you wouldn't believe. I also enjoy the change in recipes, the precious intentional gatherings with friends and family. A change in colors in our wardrobe, of the leaves and trees. I love it all!
However, there isn't only a change in our environment but also in our thoughts. A change in our attitude to one of gratitude and thankfulness.
For some, the Fall can also represent moments of vulnerability. A season that may represent exposing issues or things that we may be hiding for one reason or another.
Embracing this season in your life can represent letting go of people or things that either no longer serve you or are no longer good for you. In every season of our lives there should be some growth. However, growth only happens when we are honest about where we are today and where we want to go.
Here are some tips on how I evaluate this season in my life:
- I first enter this season with an attitude of gratefulness. Gratefulness for the little things, as well as the big things.
- I make sure that I am expressing grace and forgiveness towards myself first and then to those around me. This is very important as I tend to be very hard on myself– especially during this time of year.
- I make a list of my accomplishments during the last 10 months. Yes, I first look to what I have accomplished before looking at what I haven't .
- I review my goals set for the year and see if they still fit the person that I am becoming. Sometimes we enter the year with certain goals and then realize that some are no longer a priority in our lives.
- I dig deep to see what attitudes, habits and people I need to shed from my life. You see, a tree sheds its dead leaves during this season because it needs to prepare for the season that is coming next. It cannot withstand the next season with extra baggage or the weight from the previous season.
- Finally, I list how I want to end another year of my precious life. I know that in the next couple of months I will be looking forward to a new year, a new beginning and I will need to bring forth the best of what this present year gave me and nothing more.
So there you have it my friend….happy shedding and preparing for what is next for you!
Remember, I am always here cheering you on,
Coach Silvia

The 33 year old had faced many a mental battle during his eight seasons on the Challenge Tour, his best result a runner-up finish in 2006, but nothing would even come close to the heartbreak he suffered when, after visiting a doctor to inspect a mole on his arm, the Oslo man's life was turned on its head.
He explains: "Life changed pretty quickly for me last year when I was diagnosed with skin cancer. I didn't know anything about it and didn't realise how dangerous it actually is.
"My girlfriend had been telling me that I had to get a mole checked out and I was like, 'yeh I'll do it next time I go to the doctor's, whenever that is'. I finally booked a session with a dermatologist and they ended up removing the mole and I thought that was it.
"Then I got a phone call ten days later, in June of last year, and it was the doctor telling me I had to come in tomorrow morning and I asked if it could wait because I was travelling the following morning.
"She said maybe and then called me back about 60 second later and said, 'no, you're coming in tomorrow morning'. I realised then that it must have been pretty serious.
"She told me the next day I had a malignant melanoma. I didn't even know what it was. She told me a little bit about it and said the prognosis was pretty good because it was at the early stages but it could have spread fast.
"They transferred me to a cancer department in Olso and I was put in for surgery a couple of weeks later. Luckily, long story short, everything has gone fine and I had three surgeries and they removed everything from my arm.
"It was only in the skin and it hadn't gone to the blood so I was very lucky, because if that happens then it's not good and that kind of cancer is very dangerous.
"It took me four or five months to recover and I couldn't play golf because it was on my arm but I'm back playing on the Nordic Golf League now and I've had a couple of decent finishes, almost winning one and finishing second."
The experience of facing cancer head-on has given Kaensche, who is half German, a fresh perspective on the game he loves.
"I've started to enjoy playing golf again," he said. "You can make a bogey and it's not the end of the world, things can be a lot worse.
"Of course, as a young golfer you have all these goals. You want to win tournaments and be top 50 in the world but I'm far more focussed on having a good day every day now. That's all you can do, where it's going to take you, you never know."
Kaensche's case is one which can come with the territory for golfers, and one which received a lot of publicity in 2007 when Padraig Harrington had a 'sun spot' removed from his forehead, but it is still a subject which goes very much unnoticed in the circles of the professional game.
Kaensche believes that players should be more aware of their skin and how they take care of it, especially in the sunny climates regularly visited on the Challenge Tour and European Tour.
"We're in the sun all the time and I was never careful with putting on sunscreen," he admitted. "We don't know how dangerous it really is but now I protect my skin all the time. I put on sunscreen twice or three times a day and I'm careful with wearing a hat.
"I think a lot of guys should be more careful. You can be in the sun, but when you get burned, that's when it can develop. It's quite common and if it spreads it becomes really dangerous."
He is delighted to have come through it and now he is looking forward to revisiting his aims of becoming a European Tour golfer, starting at this week's Norwegian Challenge at Losby Golf Club near his home city of Olso.
"I am playing Qualifying School later this year and hope to get a category either on The European Tour or the Challenge Tour and see what I can do.
"You have to be serious and work hard in this game and you have to learn when things don't go your way. But in the end , there is more to life than just golf."

'piazza' feeling
Our market has a vibrant atmosphere with satisfied shoppers, stall-holders and town- centre shop keepers. The setting is perfect. Stalls are arranged in two facing rows on a wide pavement with benches and this creates a village square or 'piazza' feeling.
Access to adjacent shops is not impeded and the central space allows for queues (common!), tasting and socialising. We benefit from a Guided Busway which provides a direct route into our town centre and the market for many neighbouring villages. The central location ensures that money is spent in the local economy, provides an outlet for local produce, helps to encourage start-up businesses, and the expansion of existing, and creates higher footfall for the benefit of all local businesses.
Local charities and community groups regularly request permission to promote themselves at the market as this provides them with a large and regular 'captive' audience.

Sound like any other husband on the planet? Yup!
He is insane about loose change. Seriously, I will go in my purse looking for a quarter (or whatever) just to find out that I was robbed.
Does it count as being robbed when you know it was the person you swore "till death do us part" to?
We have different containers in different places all over the house for change. Dimes go here, quarters here, and everything else, over there.
So, he has decided that it is time to roll them and bring them to the bank.
He made piles. Gathered up coin rolls. And there it all still sits.
Drive me nuts!
Whateves, I refuse to touch them. Currently I am cleaning around said coin piles.
It's been 3 whole days!.
That "death do us part" issue might come up sooner than we had planned!

A couple of weeks ago, the entire office headed up north to Sebastiyya in the West Bank and enjoyed a mini retreat. We had the pleasure of staying at the Mosaic Guest House, which opened last year and has been perfectly refurbished, with a modern kitchen, bathrooms, and beautiful rooms.
The Guest House is made up of a number of different adjourning houses that have been joined and create a lovely intricate complex. Trees planted throught and a number of different terraces give the whole place a perfect sense of happiness and hospitality, that makes you feel right at home. The Guest House gets its name from and is associated with the Mosaic Centre Jericho, which in an non-profit organisation that aims to protect and promote Palestinian cultural heritage in the Palestinian Territories. There are a number of beautiful mosaics throughout.
There are five bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, all decorated in a different color and unique pieces of furniture. Done with care and attention they make it difficult to choose which bed you want to sleep in. Some rooms have two single beds and others a double bed.
If you like, breakfast and dinner can be provided. We enjoyed a simple and delicious breakfast, with toast, fresh fruit and nuts, yoghurt, fresh juice and delicious omelet. For dinner, we organised a fabulous barbecue and enjoyed a glass of cold beer, while looking across the beautiful views.
I highly recommend coming up here. Enjoy the beautiful Mosaic Guest House, the fantastic roman ruins in Sebastiyya and relax a weekend away from everything. Perfect to go with a group of friends or family.

Dutchman, I hope your fusion helps. I've been fused from C-4 to C-6 since three months after my injury. Crazy sensations of my shoulder blades, like all the rest of the crazy sensations my body, are apparently neuropathic.
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
I wish I believed in the e-stim. If it's real and it's being held back from us- I think we need to get a radical strategy anything from suing to protests. Something is really fishy about what's going on. It needs to be replicated and other labs before we can really get excited.
I hear you lynnifer, we are left behind and no one is strong enough to get through the noise into the press. I once had hope, but I was fooled by so many doctors that I don't even think that I'll benefit from any of the advocacy and hard work that I've done. If we start list the doctors – Dr. Kiersted, Dr Huaage, Dr. Davies, Dr. Lima, Dr. Kliesenbloom....and on and on. It is sad. I'll keep advocating while I'm here.
There's a large part of me that wishes I never read Dr. Young's 10 questions about SCI. Do you remember the document on how we are had passed the first generation therapies and that second and third-generation therapies were on their way. I so wish he had been right.
My daily life improves the less I think about cure. I remain hopeful. I believe it will come but when... I don't bother with. It may come too late for me as well. As a quad, even if a treatment lowered my level to a para, I would consider that very much cure-ish. It certainly would improve life.
But I totally feel your pain and I think the same many things. SCI is cruel.
It's the little things. I want sphincter muscles back - the ability to do kegels etc. paralysis long-term really effs over a female.
Roses are red. Tacos are enjoyable. Don't blame immigrants, because you're unemployable.
T-11 Flaccid Paraplegic due to TM July 1985 @ age 12
Lynnifer, Women have the unique problems of females, and men have many different but similar issues that equal yours, and are much the same. And then EVERY SCI has unique problems. those problems, or challenges that are unique to them as well. There are always things that are are different and complex. We all struggle with something, and "we" all think we are the only ones that this effects, or concerns others.
What I constantly see here and else where that folks who still manage to use manual wheelchairs, seem to think this manual wheelchair is some sort of Badge of Honor. I have watched some person who asks for advice, who struggles and describes how their shoulders are destroyed and some still think this person should still use a manual chair .... Well BS to that. It does seem that the uniqueness of the individual issues has not struck some folks. For some of us we opt to make our less difficult using a power chair, and more complicated arranging long distance transport, (cars/ buses, public transport. "I" find "I" am more independent using "my" power chair. "I" fetch the things that are in my reach. "I" take no pleasure being treated to special considerations, "I" do everything "I" can to stay personally in control of my life.
Shoulder repair or replacement, as it was described to me by surgeons, is a no go from the start. I cannot leave my wife of 46 years to her own devices for months on end. I did however, get C-3, through C-6 and some discs replaced, for me it reduced my pain level from a 10+ at "some" times to currently 3-4 level most of the time. Sure some of the pain I felt masked some of the other pain I felt, and now some of this shows up from time to time, but that is/was just the upper body and arms which also benefited some from this surgery. At the 10+ level it made suicide look as an attractive alternative, even with the narcotic pain killers I used.
I would suggest that every SCI patient and in fact every person visiting any doctor with a complaint, write down every aspect of your concern. Memory when it is the only resource will fail you. If pain is involved noting when and what causes this pain, and time of day, or what you had done previous to this current complaint. When pain goes away even if it is temporary it is so often erased from your mind quickly. However, no matter what we may think, the more information we give to Doctor treating you may be a key to assisting him help you. "He/she is not a mind reader. Do not let the doctor lead the conversation YOU are the one complaining, allow him to listen, he has trained to be a listener. But if he has to squeeze your symptoms out of you, he is doing your thinking.
I have been suffering these issues and the creeping neuropathy and perhaps other physical damage for 45+ years. Trying to circumvent my physical inabilities has created more physical and neuro damage in those years. It took 35 to 40 years before I allowed myself to use mechanical aids of any sort. When I finally succumbed to a wheelchair for transport, I chose to be able to get myself around, and "MY" shoulders could not take the stresses of a manual chair, I tried it.(NFG) If I allowed myself to succumb to the well meaning assistance of others I could very easily become totally submissive and dependent. I cannot live in someone else's skin, I do not judge them. I suggest any SCI or other person with a damaged body to not judge our peers. "That", serves no good purpose.
This is my response to James McM, quote; "never thought my dads quadriplegic friend was weak until I finally got first-hand experience of how he lived for 20 years, simply expecting to be cared for every day. Honestly what others think means little, but after living this way it's the self disgust I get from living such a repulsive dependency, that's troubling,not to mention the condoned submissive attitude of accept the "inevitable" contorted to delusion to make us interpret that as some kind of warped form of strength, makes my skin crawl" .
Do you, or can you, imagine how, if your Dad's friend was not pushed to submission early on, may have enjoyed some independence, perhaps in a powered wheelchair, that may or may not have been excluded as an option, due to an over abundance of love, and a desire to help? In my lifetime I have witnessed this phenomenon quite often, the well meaning, controlling others to submission, while those they want to help are in no position to resist. We all have a some requirement to feel needed, and most want to do what "the think" is best for another person. Let the person being helped make those decisions if they can, or want to, don't make those decisions for them. That is my very biased opinion.
I'm in transition to a power chair. I use my manual at home, powerchair elsewhere.
I've got a bowel prolapse (leaking everywhere non-stop) .. had a bladder prolapse fixed in 2011 along with a hysterectomy but it's leaking around the foley. An apparently infected foot again after 13yrs that'll probably lead to IV therapy again.
I stopped working two years ago (it'll be three this July) to take care of my body 24/7 but it's only become worse.
I'm not actively suicidal, but I am considering refusing treatment. I just don't see the point anymore.

After 32yrs, you'll wish your muscles would move - either naturally or artificially. If I had been offered? I would have taken it.
I hate to say it, but it looks like the scam they're going in Thailand is more progressive than what's come of these clinical trials (excluding Edgerton because I have no knowledge never having seen a patient of his on youtube).
You'll need to have access to facebook for this .. but he's on his second round of physio there and can voluntarily lift his legs.
Remember it takes 2yr olds almost that long to walk ... to learn it all over again? Who knows.

Bolingbrook police executed a time travel from the 22nd century who planned on spoiling the conclusion of A Song of Ice and Fire series.
"We didn't have a choice." Said Officer Bruce, who did not disclose his last name. "I hardly have time to watch the series on HBO, and my daughter is still reading the first book. This bozo from the future wanted to spoil the entire series for my family, and ruin (author) George RR Martin. I couldn't let him do that!"
According to eyewitnesses, the traveler's time machine materialized in the parking lot behind the Bolingbrook Public Library.
According to John, who asked that we not use his last name, the man hopped out of the machine, and demanded to speak with a representative from "Blamer Grate."
"I told them that he would have to log onto the Internet to them. This was weird. He got mad and asked if the Mannet had been invented. I asked him what he was talking about, and he said GG, 'was all about purging women from Cyberspace.' He said he was from the future, but I think he just read one too many William Gibson novels.
After the time traveler tried unsuccessfully to log on the internet by touching various books, police officers arrived to question him. The traveler pulled out a plastic book from his backpack, and claimed that it was the eighth book in Martin's series. He claimed that Martin's doctors were able to keep Martin alive long enough to complete the series. The conclusion of the eighth book, he claimed, was so shocking and upsetting, that it lead to a great revolt which ended with "Blamer Grate" gaining total control over all media.
The traveler hoped that by spoiling the ending of A Song of Ice and Fire, he could bring about the great war sooner, and "purge even more (expletive deleted) off the Internet."
Not wanting that to happen, Officer Bruce asked if the travel had more copies of the book. He said yes, they were in his time machine. When the traveler stepped into the machine, Bruce shot him in the head. After falling into the machine, its door closed, and the craft vanished.
"The Internet is safe from the ultimate spoiler for at least a few decades!"
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Martin denied that the writer planned on writing an eighth book.
"We're still trying to get him to finish writing The Winds of Winter. He keeps writing more pages, and the editor keeps telling him the book is already too long. It's an epic battle worthy of its own series."
In the background, a man who sounded like Martin said, "The only social network I need is ISCABBS! It was the Facebook of the 90s! It has express messages, forums, customizable clients, and sysops who would actually twitted harassers instead of apologizing for them. Any other social network is just a flashy imitation!"
Below are alleged spoilers for the eighth book in the series.
