Kevin and I have been working hard. Plotting, planning, rhyming, drawing…. We have a frame for a new Coal City Stories book, and the plan is good. Take a look:
I know. Kevin does FANTASTIC work. So charming. He really sold me on that ice cream parlor font. Before I get all into what's coming next, I want to take a second and thank ALL the folks – and especially the kids – who have made HME such a success. Now, before the media swarm…. Here's today's announcement press release:
Press release June 27th 2012
Author Emilie P. Bush and illustrator William Kevin Petty are proud to announce the release date of the follow up to their bestselling children's book Her Majesty's Explorer: a Steampunk bedtime story. On October 10, 2012, the waddling hero of HME – Steamduck – returns with another adventure in Steamduck Learns to Fly!
In this new tale, the plucky mechanical duck discovers that REAL birds do more than swim. He turns to his old friend and maker – the Otter – to learn a few things about flying. They try and fail with propeller contraptions, hot air balloons and more. Despite all the mishaps, the pair eventually defy gravity and take to the sky.
"With the success of Her Majesty's Explorer, we thought long and hard about where we wanted to go with our darling characters. Steamduck has quite a following, and we wanted to make sure he was true to his heroic nature. Kevin is a pilot, and a huge fan of flight history, so we went with those ideas for our second Steamduck story," says Emilie P. Bush. "So, as he tries and fails with many different types of flight, he never gives up, and he never stops learning."
Fans wanting to keep up with details and sneak peek images from Steamduck Learns to Fly! can follow the project on Facebook – as Steamduck has his own fan page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Steamduck/108061409309296

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Upscale Chain Settles After Litigation Revealed Head Chef Fondled Male Employees
PHOENIX —Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, at DC Ranch in Scottsdale, Ariz., will pay nearly a quarter million dollars and furnish other relief to settle a same-sex sexual harassment lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC's suit (CV-07683-PHX-SMM), which was brought in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona in Phoenix, charged that male employees who worked at Fleming's in Scottsdale, a fine dining steak house, were sexually abused by the head chef, Tod Rawson. The evidence gathered during the EEOC's investigation revealed that, among other things, Rawson frequently pinched or squeezed his subordinates' private parts, flicked their genitals with his bare hands, and groped them from behind. Rawson even used kitchen utensils from the restaurant to touch his victims' genitals through their clothing, the EEOC said. Evidence uncovered during the lawsuit also revealed that several managers at Fleming's knew what was happening well before formal charges were filed but did nothing to stop it. After several internal complaints, a formal EEOC charge was filed.
"The key lesson we want people to take from this case: employers must protect their employees from sexual harassment," said EEOC Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill. "This means doing a meaningful internal investigation designed to find the truth and not designed to merely cover tracks. Also, employers must immediately stop further sexual harassment from occurring. Here, not only did Fleming's not fire the harasser, they let him continue the harassment for more than a year and a half before allowing him to resign. When employers prove incapable of addressing these toxic situations, the EEOC is ready to right these wrongs."
Rayford Irvin, District Director of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office, added, "We want the public to know that sexual harassment isn't just about misconduct between men and women. It includes sexually abusive behavior between people of the same sex also. Regardless of your gender or anyone else's, you don't have to tolerate sexual harassment."
The EEOC Phoenix District Office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, with offices in Albuquerque and Denver.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Hollywood Accounting: Darth Vader Not Getting Paid, Because Return Of The Jedi Still Isn't Profitable
from the it-might-draw-you-to-the-dark-side dept
"I get these occasional letters from Lucasfilm saying that we regret to inform you that as Return of the Jedi has never gone into profit, we've got nothing to send you. Now here we're talking about one of the biggest releases of all time," said Prowse. "I don't want to look like I'm bitching about it," he said, "but on the other hand, if there's a pot of gold somewhere that I ought to be having a share of, I would like to see it."If you adjust for inflation, Jedi is the 15th highest grossing films of all time. In other words, the movie has made a ton of money. But somehow, amazingly, Lucasfilm is still able to claim that it lost money. And you wonder where the MPAA got its math skills.

Gov. Nathan Deal's executive order seems simple: Employees in Georgia's executive branch should not accept gifts worth more than $25, particularly from lobbyists and vendors.
In reality, the policy is more complicated. Lobbyists have spent more than $25 on executive branch employees more than 150 times through June, totaling nearly $17,000. The tally is not exact — incomplete or vague records can make it difficult to determine who benefits from lobbyists' gifts. And some agencies will reimburse lobbyists for gifts.
Several issues complicate the rule limiting gifts. The governor doesn't control every employee in the executive branch. Voters elect an attorney general and statewide officials to run the departments of agriculture, insurance and labor. Those elected officials set their own rules for their employees. While there is occasional debate, most legal authorities agree those employees are exempt from Deal's order.
Of the 120,000 employees in the executive branch, about 50,000 fall outside the governor's jurisdiction, according to Brian Robinson, a spokesman for Deal.
The loopholes will narrow when a new state law takes effect Jan. 1. It generally prohibits lobbyists from spending more than $75 on state officials, with some exceptions.
Until then, it's up to executive branch leaders to decide whether to set rules on lobbyist spending. Some have not. Last month, Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens and two of his high-ranking regulators accepted $100-per-head dinners and, in one case, a round of golf from a lobbyist representing the insurance industry. One of Hudgens' staffers brought his wife and two daughters to the meals.
Hudgens said he didn't set rules on lobbyist gifts when he entered office in 2011. Lobbyists have made multiple expenditures on Hudgens, buying items ranging from $5 in newspapers to $245 in lodging at an industry conference.
Hudgens said he thinks the executive order applies not to his employees but to the people Deal appoints and whose paychecks have his signature.
Hudgens said he now requires his employees to pay their entertainment expenses when traveling to industry meetings. He said his department also will start complying with the new law further restricting lobbyist spending before it officially takes effect.
Members of the State Transportation Board are elected by regional groups of state lawmakers, not Deal, and they say they're exempt from his order. Board member Dana Lemon last month asked a Georgia Power lobbyist for $220 in Atlanta Braves baseball tickets for herself and three family members, according to financial reports. The electric utility has business dealings with the board.
Lemon said in an interview that she doesn't do anything state lawmakers don't do, and no ticket would influence her vote.
"I think that part of the responsibility that we have in this particular position is building relations and working together and collaboration," she said. "And this is just one way Georgia Power supports the board it does business with."
Some have adopted stricter policies. For example, Attorney General Sam Olens decided in December to refuse gifts worth more than $25, said his spokeswoman, Lauren Kane. Olens makes exceptions for government institutions and nonprofits that don't conduct business with the state. Department policy forbids his attorneys from accepting gifts related to their jobs. For items that are impractical to return, such as food, attorneys are encouraged to share or donate to food pantries.
A statewide budget crunch sometimes encourages even Deal's employees to accept lobbyist or outside money. In June, Department of Juvenile Justice Assistant Deputy Commissioner Diana Aspinwall received a $1,500 reimbursement from the Pew Charitable Trusts to travel and give a presentation about a state overhaul of juvenile justice laws.
Deal's order states that the government prefers when agencies pay for the travel expenses of their employees rather than relying on outside funds. But employees can accept reimbursements from outside groups if the travel relates to their jobs.
The Juvenile Justice Department's general counsel, Tracy Masters, serves as its ethics officer and permitted Aspinwall to accept the reimbursements, Masters said in a written statement. The trip would not otherwise have been possible given the agency's budget constraints, she said.

1. Re: InDesign CS5.5 debug buildJohn Hawkinson Apr 20, 2012 5:30 PM (in response to sam617)
(I have moved your thread to the InDesign SDK forum).
Well, congratualtions getting the debug build. By all accounts that's the hard part.
It sounds to me like your installation is faulty. You should not be missing FONT MANAGER.RPLN and SING.APLN, plugins which should be installed by the debug build installer.
Did you update to 18.104.22.1688D, or are you still runing 7.5.0? The update might help.
Otherwise I would uninstalland reinstall.
Visual Studio doesn't sound like it is related to your problem.
2. Re: InDesign CS5.5 debug buildRoddy Ide Apr 24, 2012 12:06 AM (in response to sam617)
Hi Sameer,
the errors about the Font Manager and SING plug-ins are usually seen when VS2005 SP1 isn't installed. That behaviour is a known issue in CS5/CS5.5 debug.
I'd suggest that you uninstall InDesign and all your Visual Studio versions, then reinstall them in the order:
Visual Studio 2005
Visual Studio 2005 SP1
Visual Studio 2008
InDesign debug
Hopefully this will get you up and running.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- Administering Cisco Unified MeetingPlace During Network Outages
From DocWiki
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 > Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server > Troubleshooting the Audio Server System
The MeetingTime client must always have connectivity to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server in order to communicate information. Whenever your company experiences a network outage, the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 or 8112 continues to work. However, the MeetingTime client cannot connect to the server using the normal means. To connect a MeetingTime client to the server during a network outage, you can use either of the following methods:
- Slip connection via the modem (see the Administering Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Through Modem Interface).
- TCP/IP connection using a crossover LAN cable (see the Administering Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Using a Crossover LAN Cable Connection).
Administering Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Through Modem Interface
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server comes with a modem with which you can connect to the system remotely. This interface also allows you to administer the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 series server through MeetingTime. To do this, you need a computer with the following:
- A modem
- Windows 98, NT, or 2000
- MeetingTime software
Configure the dial-up connection that is provided with each operating system to dial up the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server. See the following configuration example.
To Configure a Dial-up Connection in Windows NT
- Choose Windows Start menu > Programs > Accessories > Dial-up Networking .
- In the Dial-up Networking dialog box, click New to display the New Phonebook Entry dialog box.
- For Entry Name and Phone Number , enter a name to identify your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server, and the phone number for your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace modem. For Dial Using , choose a modem. Then select the Server tab.
- Do the following:
- For Dial-up Server Type , choose SLIP .
- For TCP/IP , make sure the check box is selected.
- Click the TCP/IP Settings button to configure TCP/IP.
- In the SLIP TCP/IP Settings dialog box, do the following, then click OK :
- Make sure IP Address is set to 184.108.40.206.
- Make sure Force IP Header Compression and Use Default Gateway on Remote Network are cleared (not selected).
- Keep Frame Size at 1006.
- In the New Phonebook Entry dialog box, click OK .
- After configuring the dialup networking connection, from this point on you only need to select the phonebook entry that corresponds to your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server. After you are connected to the server, you can start MeetingTime.
- Enter your user ID and password. For Address , enter: 18.104.22.168.
- Using this configuration, you can connect to the server using the MeetingTime client through the modem connection. However, you cannot append or retrieve any attachment when connected using this method.
Administering Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Using a Crossover LAN Cable Connection
You can also connect a computer directly to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server with a crossover LAN cable. (You can purchase an Ethernet 10 Base-T/100Base-TX crossover cable in most electronics stores.)
To construct an Ethernet cable, instead of purchasing one, use the following wiring information.
If your server is connected to the LAN, and you want to access the server by using the crossover cable while network connectivity is down, do the following procedure.
To Access the Server by Using a Crossover Cable
- Unplug the Ethernet cable from the back of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server.
- Connect the crossover cable in its place.
- Reconnect the LAN cable after the network outage is resolved.
- Your computer must be configured to have a static IP address in the same subnet as the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server. For example, if the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 series has an IP address of 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default of 192.168.1.1, the IP address for the computer must be between 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.254, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
After the connection is established between the computer and the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server, you can use MeetingTime to administer Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, just as you would over the LAN. Because you may not have access to the DNS or WINS server, you may need to use the IP address instead of the host name of the server in the Address field of MeetingTime.

Gonzaga defeats Pepperdine again 83-68
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) Kevin Pangos and David Stockton scored 18 points apiece as Gonzaga beat Pepperdine for the 26th straight time, 83-68 on Thursday night.
It's Gonzaga's longest streak against any team.
Przemek Karnowski had 17 points and seven rebounds for Gonzaga (22-4, 12-1 West Coast Conference) and Gary Bell Jr. added 11.
Pangos made four of Gonzaga's 10 3-pointers and Stockton had five assists and three steals to help the Bulldogs rebound after a 60-54 loss at Memphis on Saturday.
Stacy Davis scored 14 points for Pepperdine (14-12, 7-7), which was looking to rebound after an overtime loss to Saint Mary's in its last game. Brendan Lane had 12 and Nikolas Skouen added 12 for the Waves.
Pepperdine last beat the Bulldogs on Jan. 18, 2002 and hasn't won in Spokane since the 1997-98 season.
Pepperdine had three turnovers and managed just two points in the first 3 minutes of the second half and trailed 50-36 after four straight Bell points.
But the Waves got it turned around with a 15-4 run, highlighted by a four-point play by Skouen and a three-point play by Jett Raines, to pull within 54-50.
Stockton ended the stretch with a momentum-changing 3-pointer.
Karnowski scored seven points during a Gonzaga 13-2 run, and had a nice assist for a Sam Dower Jr. layup, as the Bulldogs built a commanding 72-57 lead with 7:11 left.
Gonzaga wouldn't allow Pepperdine to score more than four consecutive points the rest of the way.
Pepperdine missed its first four 3-pointers of the game, while Gonzaga made three straight, two by Pangos, to take an early 21-13 lead. Gonzaga made six of its first seven 3-pointers, but the Waves had answers, making 12 of its first 22 field-goal attempts and trailed 33-27.
Stockton's layup, his ninth point of the half, gave Gonzaga its biggest lead in the first 20 minutes at 40-29. Pepperdine only allowed two Gonzaga points in the final 2 minutes of the half and could have trimmed its 42-34 halftime deficit had it not missed four free throws in the final 3 minutes.
Both teams shot over 50 percent in the first half, with the difference coming beyond the arc. Gonzaga made 7 of 14 3-pointers, while Pepperdine made just 3 of 12.
In Gonzaga's last loss to Memphis, the Bulldogs gave up 20 offensive rebounds. The Bulldogs did not allow a single offensive board to Pepperdine in the first half.
It was a back-and-forth affair as Gonzaga did not allow a Pepperdine run of more than five points in the opening half.
Gonzaga has now won 27 straight West Coast Conference home games, dating back to Jan. 2011.

As the curtain rapidly fell on the 20th Century, his holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, grew so deeply troubled by the state of the modern world that he invited 40 pivotal Western thinkers to his secluded home in Northern India's Himalayan Mountains, for a lengthy and pointed brainstorming session on the problems of contemporary society and how to solve them most effectively.
Foreseeing the importance of this event, documentarist Khashyar Darvich joined the group with an 18-member, 5-camera crew in tow (sponsored by the Wakan Foundation for the Arts) and sought to capture the event on film. This yielded some 140 hours of video footage, edited down to feature length for Darvich's documentary Dalai Lama Renaissance.
The film preserves, in 80 minutes, the most insightful, illuminative and engaging dialogues from Gyatso's conference. Oscar-nominated actor Harrison Ford (Frantic) narrates.

In Bangladesh, IUCN and partners are transforming the lives of women and poor fishermen by giving them better access to natural resources and a louder voice in decisions on how these resources are managed.
The project provides women and fishermen with practical training on how to manage natural resources in a sustainable way and allows them to take part in local government committees. It also brings community members and local government officials together and provides poor, excluded sectors of the society with a real voice in local decision-making. As a result, local people have better access to natural resources and government officials have become more accountable towards communities and more responsive to their needs and demands.
"When fishing was prohibited during ban periods, people barely managed to earn a living", says Purnima Rani Das, member of the local community. "We borrowed money from informal money lenders at high interests, felled trees and unsustainably harvested other natural resources. Thanks to this project, this is no longer necessary and our lives have improved in many ways."
The project has particularly benefited women, who constitute around 40% of the committees in the region, and are now able to actively participate in the meetings. Previously, they had little representation in their communities and spent most of their time in their homes.
Bulu Rani Bishash, for example, is a 40-year old woman who is a member of a community-based organization in the Magura District. Thanks to the project, she was able to acquire a fish sanctuary, nursery and a technologically-advanced water pump. She is also planning to start a fruit orchard. She now has substantial savings and her profits allow her to sustain both her and her son's family.
Thanks to their involvement in local government committees, communities in the Chandpur district have been able to obtain an increase in compensation from 500 to 3,500-5,000 Bangladeshi taka/head (approximately from 5 GBP to 50 GBP/head), that poor fishermen receive during the lean season – time when fishing is banned. A total of 11 fish sanctuaries (protected areas) have been created with land donated by communities. The near-extinct fish larvae has been re-introduced in the area, leading to increased fish stocks and better nutritional security for poor communities living there.
"We are very pleased with the results that we have achieved so far", says Remeen Firoz, from IUCN's Bangladesh Office. "The project has transformed the lives of more than 1,200 families in fishing communities in haor – or wetland - areas in Jamalganj. It has also helped to gradually eliminate the exploitative leasing system controlled by powerful elites and encourage active participation of all actors living in the area – including women and the poor."
The project's positive impacts could extend further to include other fishing communities in Bangladesh's extensive wetlands, benefiting 10,000 families or more. In a country that is among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, changes in the way natural resources are governed are fundamental to help poor fishing communities adapt to the changing climate.
The project is funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development.

Last Monday evening in Chicago I enjoyably went to a Chicago Cubs baseball game. During the game I went to the men's room. It was a fairly large room with very long metal urinals and toilets in the back.
As I approached one of the large urinals I saw a 20's ish young lady moving out of the restroom. I have to presume that there was a line for the women's room and she had decided instead to use the men's room.
For me it was amusing and not an issue.
I heard several men responding to what was happening (not positively). One in particular said: "She had a smirk on her face" in apparent anger at "his" male space being violated (I'm guessing).
While not attributing too much meaning to what happened, it seemed and seems amusing to me to see what it can feel like when men have "their space" invaded and feel disempowered faintly, faintly in ways that women and girls and sometimes even boys may face in many other ways more frequently from (some) adult men.

Travel Guide of Center City, Philadelphia for: Kimpton Hotel Monaco PhiladelphiaCenter City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Center City Summary
- Independence National Historic park, home to Independence Hall, the National Constitution Center, and the Liberty Bell Museum
- Impressive, historic architecture, including both landmark skyscrapers and 18th-century buildings
- Penn's Landing, a waterfront neighborhood that's home to several historic ships available for tours, Adventure Aquarium, and the Independence Seaport Museum
- The picturesque Rittenhouse Square Park
- Quality restaurants and bars
- Edgar Allen Poe National Historic Site
- Lots of crowds in the summer (particularly Independence Day weekend)
- Vagrancy is prevalent
- Cold, snowy winters and hot, humid summers
What It's Like
Center City is Philadelphia's commercial and cultural center, and the vast majority of the city's hotels are clustered in this neighborhood. Popular historical sites, including Independence Hall, are located here, as is the Philadelphia Museum of Art (fronted by the stone steps made famous in the Rocky films). The picturesque Rittenhouse Square Park, located in the southwest area of the neighborhood, is surrounded by some of the city's best restaurants and bars. The ornate City Hall, built in 1901, is the second tallest masonry building in the world; its tower is a prominent fixture of the Philadelphia skyline.
Where To Stay
Business travelers will likely want to stay in Penn Center, the area around City Hall where most of the city's corporate offices are located. Those most interested in the historic sites should stay on the eastern side of the neighborhood, close to Independence National Historic Park. Those who want to be closest to the city's best eateries and bars might prefer to stay in the Rittenhouse Square area.

Europe's Week Ahead: All Eyes on ECB
With U.S. fiscal-cliff concerns in abeyance, all eyes will be on the European Central Bank and whether it cuts rates given the current weakness in the euro-zone economy. U.K. retailers also will be in the firing line, according to Dow Jones's Andrea Tryphonides and MarketWatch's Sara Sjolin.

Oyster Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Member Review by Evil Homer:
Very nice nose..typical NZ Sauvignon Blanc with hints on gooseberry and grass. Nice mouthfeel with pear, green apple and gooseberry. A very nice sipper on its own. 88Add winemaker's notes
Internationally-recognised for producing "elegant, assertive wines with glorious fruit flavours", Oyster Bay is also a winemaker with great viticultural vision. It was Oyster Bay that had the foresight, over two decades ago, to recognise the enormous wine-growing potential that lay beneath the stony, alluvial soils of a marginal sheep farming district in New Zealand's Hawkes Bay. Today that region is producing New Zealand's finest merlots.

Great value for a crisp S.B.
Great nose. Very light with very slight acidity. Great summer time wine!
On a warm summer evening sitting outside with friends, this wine refreshes the spirit and sparkles conversation.

I know this puts the discussion out of easily tangible terms, but trading down is bound to be part of our work in April. PC and JS love their late round draft collateral, and for good reason. They were sorely tempted to trade down from #14 instead of taking Earl Thomas. They looked pretty resolved to trade down in the 2011 draft, and three separate deals fell through (still believe that James Carpenter was a resulting panic pick). This year, they hopped down two spots with each of their first two picks in order to grab a late-rounder from each.
So even if this is a good year to be drafting right where we are, Seattle's scouting abilities makes trading down a not-unlikely option. More likely than not, Seattle will trade down somewhere.
I don't usually draftbate like this, but I'm torn as to whether Seattle should stay put and target one of the impact players in the late first, or try to transform their early 20s pick (no, we're not going to the Super Bowl) into two late second or early third picks. I'm leaning towards the first, because quality still has greater effect than quantity, but Seattle is less supported at some positions than many people realize. WR and TE have no depth and frankly no playoff-proof stars either (SF might well expose this), OLB and both guard spots are up in the air due to long-term injury concerns, a stud DT could revitalize this defense, and Chris Clemons isn't getting younger. We could use a Patriots-style draft (assuming we draft better than the Patriots do).

This facility is a member of
The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital is designed to help individuals whose daily lives have been affected by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPDs) such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma and restrictive lung diseases such as fibrosis.
The program enhances the patient's quality of life, maximizing improvements and minimizing the impact of the illness through breathing retraining techniques, education, bronchial hygiene, medications, and a supervised, individually-monitored exercise program.
Additionally, participation in a rehabilitation program has been shown to decrease hospitalizations for those with lung diseases.
To contain and alleviate, as much as possible, the symptoms and complications of respiratory illness and to have all participants actively involved in their own health care. Family participation and support is critical to the success of the program.
The patient is referred by their physician to the program, and undergoes diagnostic testing. The Pulmonary Rehab Team conducts an interview and evaluation, then the pulmonary physician (pulmonologist) reviews the goals set by the individual and the team to prescribe an exercise program.
Our pulmonologist and respiratory care practitioners have developed each individual program using stationary bikes, treadmills and other exercise equipment. This exercise program helps improve muscle function and the ability to perform daily activities.
Most participants are in the program for approximately 12 weeks, meeting three times per week (Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays) for one hour each. We encourage participants to maintain a routine of strength and endurance exercise with a Phase III program that is available after completing the 12-week sessions.
The cost is determined by the needs of the individual since the program is tailored to each person. Medicare and several medical insurance plans will reimburse a major portion of the program.
To learn more about the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital, or to schedule an appointment, please call 708-245-3636.

To my readers, dear friends and students,
|A still of Ruben's narration from "One Tango Moment"
I want to thank you for your support and friendship all these years that I've lived outside of my homeland. I left Los Angeles in 2001, and during those 13 years was only able to visit my family and L.A. peeps every year or so. It has been an amazing journey—I found not only love with Ruben Aybar, but a new profession as a teacher of tango, as well as publishing a memoir about those expat years, The Church of Tango. And currently I've just finished a prequel memoir, Arabesque: Dancing on the Edge in Los Angeles, which will be released soon. (You can check out what's happening at www.MirasolPress.com.
Now it is time for me to go home. I leave for L.A. July 1st.
Even though it is my choice, my heart is breaking to leave Ruben, my pets and garden, my gorgeous rented apartment in Boedo that has seen so much tango and so many asados and friendly gatherings on its broad, scenic terrace. To leave the life that I've built here over 11 years.
And now I have to start over. Again. But it is time.
Ruben will continue teaching and taxi dancing. He can be contacted at 155-799-2038. Working with him to share our tango vision with enthusiastic students has been my greatest pleasure here in Argentina. (He doesn't check his email very often—firstname.lastname@example.com, but contacting him via Facebook works too.) He is an amazing teacher, and a warm-hearted, generous, honest person. I hope one day he can get a visa to visit the U.S. for a couple of weeks, his dream--and mine too. I want so much for him to see my country, at least my home town of L.A., and meet my friends and family. He has no desire to live there--after all, he has thirteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren of his own in Buenos Aires. And so he understands my need now to be with mine.
I've met many, many incredible people from all over the world here in our Boedo studio. As Ruben always says, people come to us as students but leave as friends, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have met hundreds of dancers I otherwise wouldn't know. And who I hope to see again one day at a milonga in one part of the world or another.
And what about tangocherie? I probably won't be updating this blog, but I won't be taking it down either, just in case someone may find one of my more than 700 posts since 2006 interesting or useful. Perhaps I'll start a new one--L.A. Cherie! We'll just have to wait and see what happens in Los Angeles.
I dream to come back to visit Buenos Aires from time to time, but nothing is certain.
Thank you, Argentina, for giving me Ruben, the tango, la cultura gauchesca, Gauchito Gil, waterfalls and glaciers, painted deserts, la Pachamama, land of seven lakes, the Delta of Tigre, penguins, and Papa Pancho. And the world of the milonga, unique to Buenos Aires and forever my "home."
Hasta la proxima…con besos, amor, y abrazos bien milonguero!
Your tangocherie

My knowledge of the "Blue" gene is really null and void, but I can tell you that this puppy was the product of two fawn/black mask dogs, Duke, PSA1, NVBK Cert. and Dixie, Sch3. Duke is an A'Tim son and Dixie is an Oscar von Lowenfels grand-daughter, if that helps in your pedigree research. None of the other puppies were blue, and from what the breeder has said, I don't believe his lines have produced any other blue dogs either. Some of the puppies in the litter were actually very bright orange like their dad.
I also forgot to add that, this is what you do after a hard day's training:

2009 Projected Offensive and Defensive Leaders
Hello again to everyone, I hope that you had a good week. We would all like to know how the Cowboys will do this year and I wanted to throw my predictions out there. Due to our inexperienced and young wide receivers, I believe that we will be focusing more on the run, especially since we have three healthy and good running backs. I think the Cowboys will be able to run the ball more and take a little pressure off of QB Tony Romo. If the offensive line can give us some good blocking on running plays we should have a great year. Here are my projections for the offense and defense for this year. Of course I could always be wrong, lets hope I am and they do better.
OFFENSE 24 pts per game
- QB Tony Romo 24 TDs 10 INTS
- RB Marion Barber 170 rushes 1,014 yards 10 TDs
- RB Felix Jones 120 rushes 600 yards 7 TDs
- RB Tashard Choice 60 rushes 270 yards 2 TDs
- TE Jason Witten 80 receptions 900 yards 5 TDs
- WR Roy Williams 75 receptions 1,040 yards 10 TDs
DEFENSE 56 sacks
- LB Demarcus Ware 17 sacks
- CB Terence Newman 5 INTs
It is fun to be able to try and predict what the Cowboys will do, so feel free to come up with your own projections. We should all be getting hyped up about the new season since training camp begins at the end of the month. GO COWBOYS!!!

Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life.

From about grade four to twelve, I was bullied relentlessly. I was called names, physically abused in PE class, kicked, punched, tripped, my street clothes were soaked in the PE change room shower, I was shoved into my locker, sent chasing my school books down the hallway while everyone laughed at me–the list goes on and on. Even as I walked down the runway at my high school graduation ceremony in 1977, diploma in hand, all of my classmates seated below on both sides, someone yelled out "Faggot" at me. So I know a thing or two about bullying.
You are right. It's time to shame the bullies–to publicly identify who they are and make them accountable for what they do.
In the same way we have a national public registry for sex offenders, we need a national public registry for bullies. Too severe? Not when countless lives are ruined, and even lost, because of bullying. A violation of privacy? The right to privacy should be forfeited when you cross the line and become a bully.
On the registry (available online for the everyone to see), the bully's full name would appear, as well as his school picture. If necessary, because his parents are part of the problem and not the solution, their names would also appear, as would their pictures (taken from the DMV).
When the bully transferred to a different school, the principal would check the registry and decide if he wanted to admit that student (and under what conditions). When the bully applied to a college or university, the institution would refer to the registry and decide if it wanted that young adult on campus. When the bully applied for a job, the employer would consult the registry and decide if he wanted that person on the payroll.
Do you think these consequences would get the attention of a bully in-the-making? I believe so, especially if the bully knew his reputation and future could be affected.
Could you get off the registry and clear your name? Sure, but not before you meet face-to-face with the one you bullied and offer a sincere verbal and written apology. Not before you attend mandatory sensitivity training classes. Not before you speak in schools about the evils of bullying and the negative impact it's had on the life of the one you bullied, and your own. Not before you complete other community work intended to take your focus off you and give you the bigger picture, such as helping out at support groups for those who are bullied, working at crisis centres, and so on.
As part of any zero-tolerance policy for bullying, bullies must not remain anonymous. As strange as this may sound, I'm tired of the bullied getting all the attention; it's time to draw the bullies out of the dark and shine spotlights on them and what they do. Bullies must know up front what the consequences for their behavior are, and the consequences must be severe enough to be a deterrent. In extreme cases, bullies should be incarcerated for their unacceptable actions.
As a civilized society, we must send the clear message to all bullies that we've lost our patience with them. The time for action is right now.
Postscript (October 29, 2012):
So by way of update, The Vancouver Sun opted not to publish the above letter. You think it might have had anything to do with my extreme views about what should happen to bullies? No matter. I knew my position was extreme as I wrote the letter, but there was good reason for that.
Since then, I've had time to think about bullies, and, although I still have little sympathy for them (given what they put me through in grade school), I recognize there are reasons why bullies bully. And if we're serious about tackling the issue of bullying, clearly, we need to address it at that level.
The only problem is, I don't believe it's possible. How can anyone, government or otherwise, mandate how bullies are raised at home so they don't feel the compulsion to lash out at the weakest of those who walk down school hallways, just wanting to be left alone? If anyone has an answer, I'd love to hear it.

Nash helped us transformed our very run down apartment to a brand new one. He gave good design advise and recommendation at very affordable price.
We worked with Heritage Concepts to develop the ideas we had for our home, and they were very helpful in advising us on the best solution and highlighting long term practical issues that we may face. They gave us options to choose from in order to keep the renovations within the allocated budget and time. They have been prompt whenever we have had queries and flexible when there were changes needed. Overall, our renovations went smoother than we expected.
My experience with Heritage Concepts has been a very positive one. They take pride in doing excellent work from start to finish. And the company is also ready to rectify any problems that might occur even after completion. A very rare trait these days.

An Oakland Kitchen with Original Detailing
Rebekah Carey McNall's sweet cottage kitchen in Oakland, California has tons of personality. The kitchen retains a lot of the original 1920's detailing, made all the more charming because of the colorful accessories dotting the space: a yellow vintage shelf, a 1940's rooster tin, and gorgeous vintage glassware from the 60's (bought in France).
As Rebekah tells Design*Sponge, she's had that yellow vintage shelf in every house she's lived in as an adult. The vintage locker, which serves as their pantry, was picked up at an estate sale and spray-painted blue, while the wood salt and pepper collection (in varying sizes) was handed down to her from her mother.
What a lovely small kitchen space. Check out the full tour at Design*Sponge.

If you think of it know,he is too good of a player to be playing 4th line minutes.. So do we dump Cooke to 4th line? But where to play JJ,hm!? He should take faceoffs,that for sure..even if he will play LW otherwise.. Jokinen - Sutter - Morrow/Cooke 3rd line!
Blysma will have a lot to think about..

OpenXava 4.2.3 released
XavaPro for Teams
July 20, 2015
We try to make XavaPro an affordable tool for professionals and small companies. However, the current license model, a license per developer seat, makes XavaPro a little expensive in some circumstances. If you're a single developer that develops many applications XavaPro is cheap, however for a team of developers that develops a single application, XavaPro is expensive. For example, a company with 6 developers should pay 3600 euros for using XavaPro Enterprise.
We want that XavaPro would be affordable for any case, therefore we have created a new XavaPro edition, called XavaPro Enterprise for Teams. This edition allows infinite applications, infinite users, infinite servers and has license for 10 developers for just 999 euros.

Authorities were searching Friday for a 17-year-old Archuleta County boy who went missing the day before.
Dillon McKee, 17, was last seen about 3:35 a.m. Thursday at a gas station in Pagosa Springs, said Brandon Bishop, a detective with the Archuleta County Sheriffs Office.
He was seen with an unidentified female buying fuel for a 2008 or 2009 maroon Chevy Malibu four-door station wagon.
Were thinking at this point (hes) a runaway, Bishop said. Were not expecting any foul play. The mother is really upset, and this is really out of character for him.
McKee is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall with blond hair and blue eyes.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Archuleta County dispatch at (970) 264-2131.

I am always skeptical when it comes to beer festivals. If they are not done right, they can be outright disastrous. A trend I have seen in the past is that when a festival is held for the first time, things go wrong. Now, not to say it's anyone's fault in particular; there are many unseen problems, some totally unavoidable. However, when the going gets tough, a lot of the times, it just gets worse. Whether it be the crowd, the amount of beer brought, the food, the friendliness and knowledge of the vendors, or otherwise, things tend to go wrong. Would the NYC American Craft Beer Festival fall into some pitfalls, turning an event sour?…..
….. Fortunately for us, and everyone else who attended, the answer is no. I was very impressed by the way this event was put together and handled. Here's a list of what I thought made this an amazing event.
-They did not try and cram us into a tiny venue like a can of sardines.
-The breweries did not bring an overwhelming amount of beer for everyone to choose from (they also brought the right volume of each individual beer).
-The crowd itself was fantastic; no obnoxious, drunken fools making it difficult for the rest of us, everyone was cordial and civil, lines were not insane and people were not fighting to try and get any specific beers.
-The vendors were very knowledgeable in terms of the product brought, as well as extremely polite and well spoken.
-All areas of the country were represented well.
-The extra merchandise being sold was fairly relevant and just downright awesome. (my favorite was the bourbon dipped cigars.)
-Local breweries, even the lesser known ones, were represented very well. (A note on this one; Let's face it, New York is not California in terms of craft beer. It made me proud to see some of our guys holding up against some of the bigger ones.)
-The venue was large enough to hold a large crowd. The location was great, too; Only a 15 minute walk from Grand Central.
-The fact that connoisseur package ticket holders were kept in a separate room from us, so we did not attack them for their beers.
-They allow you to bring your own pretzels/pretzel necklaces to clean your palate between beers.
-The fact that they give you glass tasting cups instead of the usual plastic ones that snap while you're drinking.
For certain, this was a great event and was put together very well. That being said, it was not perfect, and being a skeptic, I have to find things that bother me in a situation. Here's a list of things I did not enjoy.
-The price of the tickets for what was received. $55 from 1:30pm-4:00pm, no food included. I have been to events that cost this much where food was included, as well as an extra hour, at least. (Other options were available; $75 for the VIP package which included an extra hour of drinking or $125 for the Connoisseur's package, which included hors d'oeuvres, special beers to taste, as well as the extra hour given to the VIP members. If I could do it over, I would have gotten VIP tickets. The Connoisseur's package was far too pricey for what was offered. The special beers they received were good, but nothing that would compel me to spend $125 on.)
-The food brought was far too expensive, as well. $15 for a bratwurst kind of did it for me.
-The diversity of the beers. It's hard for me to say, I mean, I can't even believe I'm saying it, but there were too many IPAs. My palate was wrecked halfway through. It would have been nice to see more barleywines, a few sours, some belgian beers thrown in there.
That's pretty much it, though. Considering how cynical I am, I think that's pretty damn good. As I stated, it was a stellar event and I will be attending for many more years to come.
Enough of my ranting and praising, on to the beer!
We sampled quite a lot of beers that day, but I am going to list for you my favorites for the day.
1. Great Divide Espresso Oak Aged Yeti
I've had the pleasure of having this beer bottled and tapped before, and I have to say, I can never get enough of it. Out of all of the Yeti variations, this one is my personal favorite. The malts are nice an roasty, the espresso that comes through does not taste like cheap coffee as I have seen with some beers, but a very fine, gourmet espresso, big notes of chocolate and toffee, a creamy vanilla note comes through from the oak, the hop profile is not overwhelming, just enough to keep your palate light and unsaturated. Hands down, my favorite of the show.
2. Founders Dirty Bastard
I am not a big fan of Scotch Ales/Wee Heavies, and to be honest, I've never had this beer before. I've had it's barrel aged older brother, Backwoods Bastard, which is a real stunner, but I was never intrigued by this beer. I can honestly say that I am glad to have tried it though. The malt character on this is like rum soaked bread. A slight alcohol burn is there, but it is welcome. Caramel sweetness and toffee notes coat your mouth throughout. The hop bitterness on the back end keeps you wanting more. Very good beer.
3. Captain Lawrence Captain's Reserve Double IPA
I was floored by this one. I've had it before, but only in bottles. The problem with the bottled version of it is that it does not hold up well, and is so plentiful in our area, that you never know if you're getting a fresh bottle. On tap, it was like I blind taste tested Pliny the Elder. There were huge pine, citrus, grassy, earthy notes, a solid malt backbone, very nice carbonation and mouthfeel. I was stunned, to say the very least.
4. Ballast Point Sculpin
One of my absolute favorite beers to have on tap. I would have came here just for this beer. The amount of bitter grapefruit and sweet, juicy orange and pineapple is overwhelming, the sweet malt that resides beneath plays very well with the hop bitterness, the grassy, piney notes on the back end round it out very well. I absolutely love this beer.
5. (TIE) Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA and Walker's Reserve Robust Porter
Firestone Walker is in my top 5 favorite breweries, so anything they put out is like liquid gold to me. Union Jack, along with Sculpin, is one of my favorite beers to have on tap. IPAs hold up so much better when they're in a fresh keg. The flavor is an explosion of citrus; grapefruit, mango, pineapple, orange peel, ripe apricot. The malt bill is equally impressive with a slight caramel flavor coming through, but an overall biscuity quality holding the forefront. The bitter finish keeps your palate intrigued, but is not enough to render it useless.
Moving on to the Robust Porter…. holy crap. Those who know me will tell you I am not the biggest fan of porters (I think they taste sort of like watered down stouts), but this one changed my mind for good. Massive amounts of coffee and chocolate come through, a walnut and pecan character play around underneath the more upfront notes, the roasted malts perfectly complement a vanilla ice cream flavor I can't wrap my head around. I feel like buying a case of this beer now.
The day was complete, and I left feeling satisfied. I sampled many great beers, at a great venue, with great people. I will most definitely be joining them for their upcoming events.
