Things To Know About the Big Game Flush
Municipal sewer problems caused by rampant toilet flushing at halftime of the Super Bowl are more rumor than reality.
Utility systems in major U.S. cities report no pipeline damage or other troubles caused by masses of people simultaneously using their toilets at the championship football game's midpoint break.
Yes, there is a moderate surge immediately after teams head for their respective locker rooms. But there's also an increase every weekday morning, when people flush toilets and take showers, and in the evening, when people return home to cook, wash clothes, shower, and use toilets.
Utility systems are built to accommodate flow variations, and do so effectively. Modern low-flow toilets - Hillsborough County is among governments that offer rebates on purchases of the fixtures - help prevent system failures. They also save water and lower your monthly bills. Annual savings with low-flow toilets, per household, are about $90.
Hillsborough County Public Utilities water customers with homes built before 1995 may apply for a toilet rebate when they replace older high-volume toilets with new "ultra-low flow" models. Before 1995, the County's plumbing code allowed the installation of toilets that used more than 3.5 gallons of water per flush. Today's models use 1.6 gallons or less.
Hillsborough County began its rebate program 24 years ago, based on statistics showing that toilet-flushing uses more water than any other routine household activity. Up to three toilets per residence may be included in rebate applications, and people who take advantage of the program receive an average return of about $160 on purchases of the low-flow devices.
Like any appliance or piece of furniture, new ultra-low flow toilets vary greatly in price, shape, and style. They can cost from about $90 to more than $300, and that doesn't include installation. But the savings - both of water and money - are substantial over a fixture's lifetime.

Senator Chris Ngige, representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, has formally notified the Senate of his intention to participate in the November 16 governorship election in Anambra State.
In a letter dated July 24 and addressed to the Senate President, David Mark, Ngige said he had been inundated with calls to serve as governor again.
The senator said: "Mr. President and distinguished colleagues, in the last three months or so, I have been inundated with calls, text messages and visits by many people from my home state, Anambra, and the messages had remained the same 'we need you back home as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of our state come March 17, 2014'."
He said it was not a matter of personal ambition for him as the people had given him the opportunity to serve as governor before and sent him to the Senate.
Ngige said: "It has been a very difficult decision for me to take and I have consulted extensively with my family, political associates, colleagues and the people.
"My people think that I would be better as their governor again. They have asked; they have cajoled; they have persuaded; they have demanded; they have called and they are praying that I answer their call to come and govern the state again.
"I have had the honour and privilege of serving them in this capacity before from May 2003 – March 2006.
"They were kind enough to send me to this Senate to show me the immense goodwill they have for me. It is, therefore, not a personal ambition, any longer for me to become 'Governor of Anambra State'.
"However, the cry and the demand of my people have been a source of incredible pressure and have increased tremendously with the release of the election timetable two weeks ago by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
"I have concluded my consultations and now find it necessary to officially inform this Senate that I will be an aspirant, and hopefully a candidate in the election."
While soliciting for his colleagues' prayers and goodwill, he said he hoped to run on the platform of the newly merged All Progressives Congress (APC).
"Please wish me luck and pray for me, even if you are not of my party. I am of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) stock, but for this journey I intend to use the vehicle of the Progressives – our newly merged political party – The All Progressives Congress (APC).
"With due respect to other would-be aspirants and candidates, and regardless of the differences in our party affiliations, what is necessary is that Anambra State, the Light of the Nation, gets a capable governor.
"Anambra State holds a special place in the political economy of Nigeria.
"It is therefore, to the benefit of all Nigerians that Anambra State is well governed, has peace, progress and sustainable development.
"This task is, therefore, not for unsteady or untested hands that would seek to learn on the job.
"Anambra State needs an experienced, tried and tested hand. The people believe that God will do it for them through me."

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the securities of EDAP TMS S.A. ("EDAP" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:EDAP) during the period between February 1, 2013 and July 30, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was overstating the efficacy and safety of its Ablatherm trials by using faulty statistical methods and presenting misleading data; (ii) the Company was understating the frequency of adverse events in its trials for Ablatherm including erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and urethral and bowel injury; and (iii) as a result of the above, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On July 28, 2014, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") staff report was released in anticipation of a July 30, 2014 meeting of the Gastroenterology and Urology Devices Panel Advisory Committee meeting (the "FDA Staff Report"). In the FDA Staff Report, the FDA questioned whether EDAP's methods for testing the device were adequate. Specifically, FDA staff questioned EDAP's safety and effectiveness data because the Company compared patients in two different studies to gather evidence, rather than a head-to-head trial.
On the news, EDAP stock fell $1.23 in unusually heavy volume, or over 25%, to close at $3.65 on July 28, 2014.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 3, 2014. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. If you wish to join the litigation, or to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact Thomas J. McKenna, Esq. or Gregory M. Egleston, Esq. of Gainey McKenna & Egleston at (212) 983-1300, or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hints for a safe, enjoyable Christmas
When you buy Christmas delicacies, remember to acquaint yourself carefully with the markings on the packaging. Only serve as much food as will be used at one time. At room temperature bacteria causing food poisoning will multiply quickly and the shelf-life of foodstuffs will be shortened considerably. Keep the foodstuffs cold enough, and note that different foodstuffs require a different storage temperature. Take time to properly heat all of the foodstuffs to be served hot, traditional casserole dishes to over + 60 ºC and meat to at least +75 ºC throughout. Throw away the food that has been served and heated once. Remember that the cleanliness of your hands, tools, work and storage areas is important in order to avoid food poisonings. Do not use products that have exceeded the use by date.
Also read the markings on the packaging on the ham carefully
The markings on the packaging offer information on for example the ingredients and additives in the product, especially ingredients causing hypersensitivity, the origin and quantity of the contents.
It is not worth buying a ready made ham based on the product name only. The markings on the packaging should be checked out carefully as the product's actual name, for example a ham based product, might be quite imperceptible. The list of ingredients also informs you of the product's meat content, for example.
The packaging informs you as to whether the ham has been stored frozen after having been salted and sold defrosted. This kind of ham should not be refrozen. The marking "tuoresuolattu" (fresh salted) means that the ham was salted while fresh. Most hams are stored frozen and salted after they have been defrosted, which means that they are not fresh salted.
Certain ingredients causing hypersensitivity and the products derived from these, with some exceptions, always have to be declared on the packaging. In Finland, mustard, celery, sesame seeds, sulphur dioxide and sulphite have been added to the earlier list (milk, eggs, wheat, barley, rye and oats, fish and shellfish, nuts and soy) of agents that require declaration.
Keep your hands and tools clean
Wash your hands often:
- always before you start preparing food
- always when you start handling new foodstuffs and
- always after visiting the toilet
Always use only clean tools
- In order to avoid cross contamination, clean the table surfaces and change or carefully wash the tools, such as knives, servers and cutting boards, if you have used them when handling raw foodstuffs. Wash your hands at the same time.
Do not prepare food for others if you have symptoms of a stomach bug.
Keep the refrigerator clean, adjust it and fill it up correctly
Keep the refrigerator clean and free of old foodstuffs.
- Clean the refrigerator carefully in conjunction with the Christmas cleaning, using a clean cloth and dishwashing liquid. At the same time remove old food.
Adjust and fill the refrigerator correctly, so that the food will remain safe during the period of time you have planned. You can set the correct temperature using the temperature regulator of the refrigerator.
- Set a full refrigerator at a colder temperature than normal.
- In a correctly set and filled refrigerator the bottom part is usually the coldest.
Ensure that the refrigerator
- is cold enough
- can circulate the air.
Keep the food cold enoughFood that requires cold storage should be stored correctly in order to keep it safe:
- Christmas delicacies such as ham, fresh cheeses and fresh pâtés should be kept cold all the time, below +6 ºC.
- The ham should be eaten in one week or preferably before the New Year.
- Keep fish products, such as roe, cold and hot smoked salmon and raw salted fish below +3 ºC.
- Use frozen and defrosted roe within 24 hours.
Properly heat all of the foods to be served hot.
If the hot food is not eaten directly after preparation, it has to be cooled as quickly as possible, for example in a cold water bath or covered outside before it is put in the refrigerator.
Only put out at room temperature as much food as will be used at one timeOnly put out at room temperature the amount of food needed. For hygiene reasons it is safer to cut for example the necessary number of slices of ham and to put them into a serving dish instead of lifting the whole ham onto the table to warm up.
Destroy uneaten food that has been kept warm. Do not mix old and new food, for example leftovers from the traditional casseroles or herring salad with fresh food.
Do not heat mulled wine (glögi) in an electric kettle or in an aluminium pot
Electric kettles should only be used for boiling water. In some of the electric kettles the element is uncovered, and the acidity of the drink can leach copper out of it. Copper is an important trace element for humans in small amounts, but large amounts can cause acute poisonings. An aluminium pot is not to be used for heating the drink either, as the acidic drink dissolves aluminium from the aluminium pot.
Heat the traditional casseroles properly, to over + 60 ºC
- Frozen casserole dishes should be defrosted in the refrigerator, so that they will keep from getting warm during defrosting.
- Heat casserole dishes properly, to a temperature over +60 ºC.
- Do not heat and cool casserole dishes several times.
- Do not mix a product that has once been heated with a fresh one.
- Keeping warm food at room temperature and a slow cooling makes it possible for bacteria that cause food poisoning to multiply in the product. Rather heat the amount of casserole dishes to be eaten at one time and keep the rest cold in the refrigerator.
- Use only clean servers.
- Do not refreeze a product that has already been frozen.
Cook ham and poultry thoroughly, at least to +75 ºC
When preparing Christmas meals, remember that raw meat can contain bacteria that cause food poisoning.
- Handle raw and cooked meat using separate tools.
- Use separate tools when handling raw ham and raw poultry, for example turkey.
- Use a meat thermometer when cooking meat.
- Cook the meat thoroughly and very carefully, at least to a temperature of +75 ºC. Disease causing bacteria are destroyed at this temperature.
Handle the ham with clean, dry hands only
A raw ham bought frozen keeps in the freezer (-18 ºC) for 3-4 months, and in a cool place, for example a refrigerator, at below + 6 ºC for about seven days.
Defrost the Christmas ham in the refrigerator before cooking it. Just before preparing it, you can move the ham into room temperature for a while, but for no longer than a couple of hours. If you keep the ham at room temperature, the bacteria will multiply quickly. This may cause food poisoning. The buyer of the ham should follow the defrosting and preparation instructions given by the merchant.
If you keep raw or cooked ham outside, protect it carefully. If the outside temperature rises, bacteria can multiply in the ham and its shelf life is shortened. If the ham freezes, liquid will leak out of it later when it is being defrosted.
Always wash and dry your hands before cutting the ham. The ham should be sliced using a clean cutting knife. If you do not wash your hands or cutting tools before cutting the ham, they can transfer to the ham for example staphylococcus bacteria that may cause food poisoning.
Ensure correct packaging and a long shelf life for delicacies given as gifts
If you give food as a gift, pay special attention to the hygienic packaging and shelf life of the product. Safe products for gifts are for example biscuits, chocolates, spices, mustards and canned food.
If the product is kept at room temperature, there will be a risk of food poisoning. An incorrectly stored product will go off quickly. Do not put Christmas delicacies that go off quickly in Christmas parcels - such as ham, vacuum-packed fish products, unripened cheeses and pâtés – unless you can ensure that the product's cold chain remains unbroken all the way to the final user of the product.
Clarify the country specific limitations and regulations on food gifts
If you want to take Finnish delicacies as a gift abroad, you should clarify the potential limitations and regulations on importing food from the embassy or the representative office of the country in question.

Carolyn Gay, a certified nursing assistant of 20 years, says she wants to inspire teens to become caregivers to the elderly.
"I'm getting older, and in another 10 years, I'm going to need one of these girls to look after me," said Gay, 72, a Polk County, Florida, resident who speaks at area high-school career days. It's not always an easy choice to advocate, she said. "It's embarrassing to explain why the wages for this job are so low."
Well-prepared helpers for seniors and disabled Americans soon could be harder to find. The current workforce is aging, and low pay may make the career unattractive to entrants, said Catherine Ruckelshaus, legal co-director of the National Employment Law Project, which focuses on low-wage workers. Immigration changes that could alleviate future shortages are stalled in Congress. And while state rules exist, there are no federal training standards for personal-care aides.
Need is escalating: By 2020 the U.S. will require 1.6 million more direct-care workers than in 2010, based on an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data by the New York- based Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute. That's a 48 percent increase for nursing, home-health and personal-care aides over the decade.
"If people want their parents and grandparents to be able to be cared for at home, and they want that opportunity themselves, we need to make this job a competitive job in the marketplace," said Steven Edelstein, national policy director at PHI, a nonprofit that provides consulting services and workforce development for home health-care workers and groups. "If we care about the quality of the services, we need to care about the training of the workforce."
Caregiving Profession
The challenge is to make caregiving attractive as a profession while still providing affordable care, as responses to a Labor Department rule issued last week showed. Minimum-wage and overtime protections will be extended to most in-home care workers, Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez said Sept. 17.
The change will apply parts of the Fair Labor Standards Act to many who aid the elderly and disabled in their homes. That workforce is 90 percent female and 56 percent minority, according to an analysis by the Washington-based Institute for Women's Policy Research.
On average, home-health aides make $10.49 an hour, nursing assistants earn $12.32 and personal-care aides are paid about $10, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates.
Travel Time
While workers usually earn more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, when they serve multiple clients their travel time often isn't compensated and those extra hours could take them below that level, Edelstein said, adding this stands to change with the new rule.
Regulations often take effect 60 days after being issued. This rule is delayed until Jan. 1, 2015, to give families that use home-care workers and state Medicaid programs time to prepare, according to Laura Fortman, principal deputy administrator for the Labor department's wage and hour division.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Republican Representatives John Kline of Minnesota and Tim Walberg of Michigan are among those who say the change could make home help too expensive.
"While the delivery of care has changed in recent years, the crucial need for affordable in-home companion care has not," the lawmakers said in a Sept. 17 press release. "Faced with higher costs, some individuals will have no choice but to leave their homes and enter institutional living."
Public Dollars
About 75 percent of home-care services are paid for with public dollars, PHI estimated based on U.S. Census Bureau data from 2010.
A semi-private room in a nursing home costs about $6,235 per month, based on 2010 data compiled by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or about $75,000 annually.
In-home health aides cost $21 an hour on average, based on the data. That means a 40-hour week of care would cost $840, and a year about $44,000. Round-the-clock care, however, would be more expensive.
The new overtime-pay requirement could hurt home-care businesses, since many clients require more than 40 hours worth of care, said Jay Perron, vice president of government affairs and public policy at the Washington-based International Franchise Association.
If companies rotate caregivers to avoid paying time-and-a- half overtime, it could interrupt continuity of care, said Perron, whose group's members include Interim HealthCare Inc., a care, hospice and medical-staffing company, among other home- care franchises.
Profit Margin
Such businesses usually make about a 5 percent to 7 percent profit margin after insurance, background checks and other costs, Perron said, and so have limited room to pay higher wages.
"Home-care companies will have little choice but to employ workers part time rather than full time as Medicaid payment rates and consumers with limited incomes cannot afford higher costs," Andrea Devoti, chairman of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice, a Washington-based nonprofit, said in a Sept. 17 statement.
At the same time, the overtime rule could protect caretakers from being overworked, and having national requirements may improve industry oversight, Ruckelshaus said. Fifteen states provide both wage and hour protections to direct- care workers and an additional six and Washington D.C. require minimum wage, yet she said many lack resources for enforcement.
First Step
"It's a good, really exciting first step," said Jane Henrici, a study director at the women's policy institute. "It's not the end."
Demand for direct-care workers is outpacing labor-pool growth, PHI found. The average age of in-home health-care workers is now 44, based on a 2011 PHI analysis, and the number of women ages 25 to 54, the main labor pool from which direct- care workers are drawn, is projected to increase by only 2 percent in the decade ending in 2020, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
Immigration-law changes could help create a sustainable caretaker workforce. Immigrants make up 28 percent of in-home health-care workers, according to an analysis Henrici co-wrote, and an estimated one in five is undocumented.
The high number of undocumented caregivers is a result of the limited legal immigration options, said Ai-jen Poo, director of the National Domestic Worker's Alliance, which advocates for in-home workers' rights.
Immigration Bill
The immigration bill that passed the Senate this year -- and has now stalled as it faces opposition in the House -- would create a W visa with a potential path to citizenship for low- skill workers, including home-care aides.
The lack of federal training requirements for personal-care aides could also affect quality in-home help, Edelstein said. Certified nursing aides and home-health aides have more defined standards.
"In some instances, we have personal-care aides who haven't had any formal training administering medication," Edelstein said, because clients can in some cases give aides permission to do so.
Gay, who still works for private clients, says she remains in caretaking because she "loves it."
She is concerned with ensuring that future at-home caretakers are well-prepared to take care of her and her peers, she said. Even more, she said she wants home care to be a positive career choice for the high school students she knows.
"They're our future," she said.

Do you have any idea about hardware that's inside your computer? Do you want to know a little more about your system? HWiNFO™ is a useful tool that enables you to get information about your hardware. It also diagnoses the problems in the hardware and provides in-depth information about everything hardware-related.
It has a nice user-interface and on the left side of the system, a summary that pops up when you first start HWiNFO displaying the information about your CPU. Information like; cores, clocks, cache, platform, CPU name, description, operating points, ratios the cores are being used in and a lot more. On the right side of the system summary, you get information about your GPU, motherboard, and memory modules.
You can even run benchmarks and sensor check that show you the information about the processor and your RAM. The benchmark and sensor check buttons are located on the top buttons and all you need to do is click and you will get all the information.
So the thing about HWiNFO is that it shows so much and most of the information is useful for technical experts. But what may appeal to all users is the driver update button and that lets you find the correct drivers for your hardware. However, in order to update your drivers you will need to download software.
The only negative point about HWiNFO is that you will have to download other software for the driver and bios updates. It will leave you with information related things when it comes to the core usage of HWiNFO. It's free of cost so you can download it and have fun with it and know about your system. Feel free to comment if you tried the software!

Arsenal attacker does not feel an addition to the front-line is required. Here he gives three reasons why.
'I would rather not see a new striker come in,' 27-year-old spearheading striker Olivier Giroud is quoted by Canal+ to have said when discussing the probability of his club Arsenal acquiring a new addition (and potential positional rival) during the imminent transfer window.
Manager Arsene Wenger has been linked with moves for a number of forwards including Ciprian Marica, Karim Benzema, Alex Pato, Fernando Llorente, Edinson Cavani and Konstantinos Mitroglou.
However, Giroud believes all of the aforementioned would represent a superfluous purchase because of three reasons: himself, Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott.
Giroud continued: 'If the coach wants me to rest, he can do it without buying a new striker.
'Lukas Podolski is having a good comeback. Theo Walcott can play as a striker. We have the quality and the quantity.'
Thus far, Giroud has returned eight goals from 18 Premier League appearances. He has also scored thrice in Europe.

How do I get access to the Library Databases when I'm off campus?
When you try to connect to a database from a computer off campus, you will be asked for your Bronco name and password. This is the same login you use for Blackboard, BroncoDirect, CPP student email, and other campus IT services.
I'm being asked for a password even after I login with my Bronco name and password. Where can I get the password?
When a database asks you for an additional password, most likely the remote database server is having some difficulty. Clearing your web browser cache will often fix the problem.
I get a message like "All Ports in Use" or "Maximum number of sessions in use" when I click on a database, and I can't get into the database. What happened?

3/29/2012 Print Version
VANCOUVER, WA, Mar 29, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Barrett Business Services, Inc. (BBSI) (NASDAQ: BBSI), a leading provider of business management solutions, has completed the repurchase of 2,485,929 shares of BBSI common stock from the Estate of William W.

The Cross River State High Court sitting in Calabar has voided the February 28, last year, removal of the Vice-Chairman of Boki Local Government, Krees Ojonde Ojong.
Ojong was removed by the Boki legislative council in Kakwagom Customary Court.
The Vice-Chairman was alleged to have committed seven impeachable offences, including the diversion of N40,000 revenue to his personal account and refusal to honour invitations by the House.
A panel found him guilty in three of the seven offences and consequently, he was removed.
But Ojong sued the Boki Legislative Council, its leader, Isaac Kekung and deputy leader, James A. Asu.
After over a year of litigation the judgment by Justice Obojor Ogar ordered the setting aside of all the procedural steps taken by the first and second defendants (Boki Legislative Council and its leader, Isaac Kekung) leading to the removal of the claimant (Ojong).
According to the judgment, the steps taken violated the mandatory provisions of Section 12 (4) and (5) of the Local Government Law 2001.
After hearing the submission of the counsel to the claimant, Utum Eteng and counsel to the first and second defendants E. O. E. Ekong and P. O. Arikpo for the third defendant (Asu), judgment was entered in favour of the claimant and against the defendants

Aches and pains again today, but that's no reason to play hooky. Here's a repost from a group blog post I did last year. It addresses the issue of writers finding their voices. Now, as then, I'd welcome your comments and advice on what I have to say.
For all the writers out there, one of the criticisms that often comes back from an agent or an editor is a lack of voice, or a voice that is not strong enough: "You need to find your voice," they say.It is just one of those things, quite abstract. Infinitely more difficult to fix than "passivity" or "run-on sentences", for instance.So what is a "voice", exactly, and where/how do you find it?Here are two opening passages from two different novels:"It was the middle of a bright, tropical afternoon that made good our escape from the bay. The vessel we sought lay with her main-topsail aback about a league from the land and was the only object that broke the broad expanse of the ocean.""Call me Ishamel. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world."The second one of course, is immediately recognisable. That is how Herman Melville begins Moby Dick. But the first is by Melville too. It is from his first novel Oomo.When you read the two, the second one is stronger, more interesting, demanding of the reader's attention. And that is the difference a strong voice can make. It is the way a writer speaks, whether through the narrator, or through the characters. It is a certain authority, not intrusive, but certainly not indiscernible.From these examples, you could draw a conclusion that the second voice is more mature because the author has matured over time, and through his work. You would be right. A seasoned writer does have a more authoritative voice than a beginner–has also probably mastered the craft, and learnt to give different voices to all the different characters.But for those beginner writers who would like to have a strong voice from the word go, all is not lost.Here are a few do's and don'ts to help you on your way to find your voice:DON'T-read writers with brilliant voices and emulate them to create your own. A little writing exercise in the voice of a write you admire is ok, an entire story or novel is not.
-try to impose style on your writing, so that you artificially generate tension, create a strong voice, but are unable to sustain it throughout your work.
-make the narrator's voice so individual and distinctive that it overwhelms your story and characters, unless that is the idea behind your work.DO
-write as much as you possibly can, The more you write, the easier it is to find your voice.-be honest to who you are, write (as much as possible) what you know, draw from your own experiences in life.-read writers with brilliant voices and analyse why the voices work.-read some of your own work, written a month or two ago, so you can be objective.When you read your work, underline the bits that impress you. Read them aloud. These are the parts that give you the best idea what your voice is like at the moment.Now, take a different colored pen and underline the bits you do not like. Read these parts aloud and figure out why they seem worse than the parts you liked. Is it abstraction? Is it too much "tell" and very little "show"? Is it because the characters are not well fleshed out by your writing? Take these faults one by one and address them.By doing the underlining and reading exercise, you would be mechanically feeding your unconscious, training it to be the most honest part of you, to be sensitive to your own natural voice.Always remember that a voice is the expression of who you are as a person and an artist. The more you write, the stronger it will be. And in the meanwhile, you can always help it along using the tips given here.Published authors, do weigh in with further tips in the comments.And to everyone on the quest, lots of good luck with finding your voice!

Jamie LeJeune, Cassidy Friedman
From In These Times, by Russell Mokhiber:
It was a beautiful Friday night in Oakland.
California that is.
Things were going swimmingly at the Oakland Whole Foods.
And then...
And then at 6 p.m., musicians started arriving.
More than 40 of them.
And they gathered in the back of the store.
And began singing a song.
It was a take off of Toni Basil's 1982 pop hit "Hey Mickey."
(Hey Mickey You're So Fine
You're So Fine You Blow my Mind
Hey Mickey
Hey Mickey.)
But these were former Whole Foods shoppers.
Boycotters now.
Who were turned off by the CEO, John Mackey, when he pronounced in August in the pages of the Wall Street Journal that health care was not a human right.
So, they adapted the song - just for him.
"Hey Mackey, you're a swine, you're a swine, you blow my mind, Hey Mackey."
"Oh Mackey what a pity, you don't seem to care."
"We're not as rich as you, but we still need healthcare."
"Oh Mackey you're so greedy can't you understand."
"It's guys like you Mackey"
"What you do, what you do Mackey"
"Don't break my heart Mackey."
Max Bell Alper, a union organizer for AFSCME, was one of the organizers of the Whole Foods musical protest in Oakland.
"We were all disappointed in Mackey's Wall Street Journal op-ed," Alper said. "We came up with this song, got some musicians together, choreographed a dance number, and we went to Whole Foods in Oakland and did it."
The group handed out flyers that read in part: "Whole Foods is sickening . . . Sustainability cannot endure without preserving the dignity and health of not only the planet but our fellow people."
Alper said that customers reacted positively to the musical protest.
"There were people who came up to us afterward and told us - you are right, I'm going to boycott Whole Foods also," Alper said. "Or they would say - I was boycotting Whole Foods after Mackey made his statement, then I started slacking, now you have shaken me up, and I'm going to start boycotting again."
Alper said that the employees were most excited - "they came from behind their counters and started clapping along with us."
Alper said that Whole Foods managers are regularly given training on union avoidance.
"That's code for union busting," Alper said.
Oakland police and homeland security police were called - but there were no arrests.

Dev: aur jab aapka pyaar aapse bewafai kare toh……………..
(everyone is surprises, sonakshi ignores him and goes to meet her family)
(sonakshi becomes teary-eyed when she sees bose family there)
Sonakshi(in mind):ma-baba! Aapne mujhse rishta tod kar dev ke saath jod liya, ek baar bhi apni beti ke bare mein nahi socha, uski 10 saalon ki suffering ke bare mein nahi socha. Ek baar sirf ek baar mujh par trust kar lete. Why ma-baba? Why?
(she goes to touch asha and bejoy's feet but they don't bless her seeing this dev is surprised so is sonakshi)
Rohan: ho gaye saare intros? Ab chalkar cake cut kar lete hai .
Devakshi: ha, mera birthday cake! Uske bare mein main toh bhool hi gayi ! mumma chalo ab aapke bina toh mera birthday incomplete hai.
(devakshi cuts her birthday cake and she gives the first bite to sona then to rohan to which dev feels sad)
Precap: based your comments/views.

Well, yesterday was incredibly busy so I didn't get a chance to post but I wore the Caterpillar to work yesterday! I can thank Mother Nature for The Winter That Will Not End, and it was cold enough to still wear a wool turtleneck. I have to say, after all that work, that I *love* how it turned out. I shortened the pattern to just the right length (it was supposed to be pretty long but I think over-the-butt sweaters have been out since the 80s and rightfully so) and the stripes all match perfectly and it fits great. The one glitch – I had been knitting a small but somehow when I got the sleeves, I lost track of which size I was following and knit the sleeves in extra small. It could have been a disaster but it wasn't. They are probably a tiny bit more fitted than they should be in relation to the body, and they are a tad short which isn't a problem since I always push my sleeves up anyway, and it all worked out fine. I promise I will take photos tonight.
I went back to the Surf cable sweater over the weekend, and I have it here at work so during the slow times today I will work on it a bit. I am contemplating Stitch and Bitch tonight. It's been so long since I've been there and I miss it. But I do have a big Flash assignment to do for next week and not much time to devote to it, so I will see how I feel later.

After yesterday's quiet turnout, today was almost bustling. We began by opening up a new trench, number 5, while Alex did some scouting around looking at the context of the site.
We resisted the temptation of opening up the new trench between trenches 3 and 4, concentrating instead on the higher land to the side of trench 2. Though we hadn't finished excavating by the end of the day, we could see that one side of trench 5 was a thick yellow clay, while the other was stony with grey gritty sad, pebbles and pieces of orange iron ore and fragments of coal/charcoal.
We also excavated the smaller trench 2 to the same level and found a similar mix (see photo above).
These are the trenches at the top of the slope. One other trench, trench 3, lies of the picture downhill of 4 (to the right).
The general pattern seems to be stones, yellow clay and yellow grit at the top of the slope (trench 1), more larger stones further down (trenches 2 and 5), then grey gritty sand and slag becoming more evident (trench 4 and 5) until slag dominates at the bottom of the slope (trench 3). Throughout we found fragments of coal, ore and limestone.
It is not clear whether this is a general gradation across the whole site or a series of more focussed concentrations.
For trenches 1 (back filled) and 2 - see
For trenches 3 and 4 - see
We decided to further excavate trench 3 by carefully removing the interlocking slag pieces. First, Christine recorded the trench by drawing with a grid frame, after which Alex and Mike carefully removed the slag pieces passing the more interesting ones to Christine for bagging and logging as finds.
The pieces of slag varied considerably and here are two interesting pieces. The left piece is hollow like a tube and the slag appears to have wrapped itself around a stick of timber or charcoal that has burnt away. The right hand photo shows quite different pieces of slag that have fused together presumably by being reheated in a furnace. At the end of this process, we wondered whether we had been emptying a back-filled furnace (see photo below).

Resolute: admirably purposeful, determined and unwavering.
So, 20 days later, I'm saying out loud, writing them down and committing to be admirably purposeful.
I prayerfully strive to be a better mama and wife. Of course, for this to happen, I have to be in relationship with our Father. This is always a work in progress too. I would like to one day, (maybe this year?) move from lots of popcorn prayers to daily morning time with Him. This proves difficult while my children are still erratic sleepers.
Less Stella & Dot, more design. I've been so blessed to have had some clients sprinkled into my life in 2012. Maybe God will sprinkle more in through 2013 as he sees me fit. I'm so thankful to find and have some time to use my brain. One client has been as beneficial to me as I have been to her, and I'm thankful for such relationships.
Kevin and I agree that we need to be more united on the parenting front, especially with mulitiples. We've learned from a lot of mistakes. It was suggested to us to make some house rules. Done. It would also help with the additions of nephews, helping everyone to be and stay on the same page. One of my new mottos is "New Year, New Rules!"
get a little more familiar with technology. I realized just recently that I'm WAY behind the times, but it doesn't come as a shock. We don't have the latest and greatest, but I need to try to make the most of what I have. For example. There are now aps that help you create mood/idea boards. I had no clue.
This is the best I can do with cut/paste/rotate.
This is my living room. Its always a work in progress, but the big pieces are done, and here to stay. Maybe one day I can get a new sofa, but for now, this is it.
This has already been completed. I was just messing around with putting it all together.

text: I started on my movie Ironhide. I cut away all the excess plastic on the guns and filled it up with 2 component apoxy... thought the apoxy doesn't seem to harden enough I filled up the screw holes allready too. Barely noticeable: I swapped the smokestacks with a pair of aluminum rod stacks. Love them! anyone have any information on using the apoxy? I want to start sanding and filing away! *edit1* I uploaded a couple of more images of my WIP. A good look at the smokestacks. They're not perfect but I'm very content on how they look. I also fixed him up proper steps! I managed to figure out a way to hold them in place by sticking the piece between the arms and the body. It looks amazing IMO. Lastly I started the repaint and applied a couple of reprolabels. I'm also working on the guns to make them more accurate. iDD

Leeza Gibbons, noted American talk show host and the founder of Leeza's Place ("A Place for Family Caregivers"), shared her life philosophy with Sue Zawacki, host of Aging Info Radio, which broadcasts each Saturday morning from 6-7 am on AM 560 The Answer. In Gibbon's new New York Times best seller "Take Two: Your Guide to Creating Happy Endings and New Beginnings," she recommends that we push the reset button on our life by "getting rid of yesterday's junk."
Gibbons proposed that we end up in life where we are supposed to be, right on time. The challenge is to look for the cues when your life is changing and instead of being afraid of change, embrace it and start a new path where you determine who you want to be, and how to get there.
"Everybody has a door in their life marked 'change,' that allows us to rid ourselves of the things that tether us to an unfulfilled life. Go through that door and discover that life is a dance, where we are constantly holding on and letting go. Push the reset button on life and it opens new possibilities," said Gibbons, who added that "rose-colored glasses are an under-rated color."
Gibbons advocates that we all must believe in something outside of ourselves. She notes that to get to a better place, it starts with faith and hope.
Her approach is integrated into our ability to investigate (look where you are right now and decide where you want to be); navigate (adjust your life to get to where you want to be); and negotiate (work through the challenges you face each day by taking baby steps).
"People who are resilient can find their emotional and physical core by seeking comfort in their own 'sanity sanctuary,' where they can test drive their dreams. A key is understanding that while we all need a balanced life, not every day will be in balance, but don't be afraid of the changes," added Gibbons.
One of the hardest things for most people to resist, according to Gibbons is that when we say yes to everything, we are often saying no to ourselves. She suggests that yes, is really an acronym for Your Empowerment System, whereby we must decide if our decisions are empowering us so that our self-esteem and courage grow.
"We must understand the business of success. That means seeing the best in people, but recognizing that if conditions change, we must rid ourselves of the toxic people who pull us back. Be gracious and grateful every day, and remember that it's never too late to start over so take a second take on life – you're worth it," concluded Gibbons.

Exposure to Passive Smoke in Childhood Increases the Risk of Lung Cancer Later in LifeJan 31, 2005In the very large and ongoing European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) a cohort group of 303,020 people who had never smoked or who had stopped smoking for at least 10 years were investigated for the relationship between prior exposure to tobacco smoke and lung cancer risk. A subset of 123,479 people provided information on exposure to second hand smoke. The main outcome measures were people with newly diagnosed cancer of the lung, pharynx, or larynx, or death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or emphysema.
Research Consensus on PolyphenolsJan 28, 2005The Following are a Selection from the Studies and Analysis Presented at the Recent Conference Relating to Fruit and Vegetable Polyphenols - The Studies are Published in the January 2005 issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Dietary Polyphenols and Health: Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Polyphenols and Health The Effects of Polyphenols on Humans: A Review of 93 Intervention Studies For some classes of polyphenols there are now sufficient intervention studies to indicate the type and extent of effects on humans in vivo (on humans, not in a test tube): The isoflavones genistein and daidzein found in soy have significant beneficial effects on bone heath among postmenopausal women Green Tea Catechins increase our antioxidant levels and improve energy metabolism Grape Seed OPCs and Resveratrol and other polyphenols from red wine and red grape skins, and the polyphenols in cocoa, cranberry, apple skin, and some similar supplements have strong beneficial effects on the vascular system Quercitin found in onions, apple skins, red wine, broccoli, and green tea helps decrease the risk of cancer by decreasing some cancer markers. The publishers of the research are from the National Institute of Agronomics Resarch, Saint-Genes Champanelle, France, and the Nestle Reserch Center, Lausanne, Switzerland. Beneficial Effects of Fruit Polyphenols on Aging and Brain Health Numerous studies have indicated that individuals who consume large amounts of fruits and vegetables reduce their risk of suffering age related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
Obesity and Weight Gain Increase the Risk of Kidney StonesJan 27, 2005It's been shown that a larger body size increases the excretion of oxalate, calcium, and uric acid in the urine and thereby increasing the risk of kidney stone(s). It has been unclear if obesity and weight gain are the cause. Harvard researchers analyzed the information collected for about 46 years on over 241,000 men and women enrolled in 3 large cohort studies.
Soy Builds Bone and Causes Fat Loss.Jan 25, 2005A total of 70 healthy, middle-aged women, both pre- and post-menopausal were put on either soy isoflavones 100mg a day or placebo for 24 weeks. DEXA bone scans were performed to assess the effect of soy isoflavones on bone mineral density. Soy isoflavones (but not placebo) considerably increased bone mineral density.
Vitamin E Strong Enough an Antioxidant to Protect the Brain from Lou Gehrig's DiseaseJan 24, 2005Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health analyzed information on almost 1,000,000 people in the Cancer prevention Study II sponsored by the American Cancer Society to see if regular supplementation with vitamin E, or vitamin C could lower the risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) vs. people who didn't take these vitamins regularly. ALS is a disastrous progressive-neurological disease that causes a slow paralysis of the body.

Daylong Tussle on 'Homeland Battlefield' Law
MANHATTAN (CN) – Overcoming an initially "skeptical" federal judge, opponents of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act – which allows the military to indefinitely detain anyone it suspects "substantially supported" al-Qaida, the Taliban or "associated forces" – brought strong arguments Thursday to a case once believed to be quixotic.
Prominent writers and activists – led by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges – met in court for the first time for a hearing challenging the law, which President Barack Obama signed on New Year's Eve. The bill is also known as the Homeland Battlefield law.
Buried within the 565-page statute, opponents said, is a short paragraph that makes political activists and muckraking journalists susceptible to indefinite military detention for exercising free speech.
Section 1021 (b)(2) allows the military to detain anyone it suspects "substantially supported" al-Qaida, the Taliban or "associated forces," and to keep them detained until "the end of hostilities."
Hedges and others claim those words are so vague they could justify indefinite detention of political dissidents without due process.
As the hearing began, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest said she was "extremely skeptical" that the opponents could challenge the law on its face, but she put the government lawyers on the defensive as the proceedings closed late in the day.
The first plaintiff to testify, Alexa O'Brien, co-founded the U.S. Day of Rage, a group whose "one purpose," she said, is to "reform our corrupt elections."
Though its website lists "nonviolence" as its founding principle, O'Brien said she found out that agents of a private intelligence firm tried to link U.S. Day of Rage to Islamic fundamentalists.
The revelations came when Wikileaks released 5 million emails from Stratfor, under the name "Global Intelligence Files," O'Brien said. Stratfor describes itself as a geopolitical intelligence firm.
The documents, O'Brien said, included an Aug. 18, 2011, email from Thomas Kopecky, stating, "I was looking into that US Day of Rage movement and specifically asked to connect it to any Saudi or other fundamentalist Islamic movements.
"Thus far, I have only hear[d] rumors but not gotten any substantial connection.
"Do you guys know much about this other than its US Domestic fiscal ideals?"
Kopecky is or was then director of operations for Investigative Research Consultants / Fortis Protective Services, according to the email.
The email was sent to Fred Burton, whom O'Brien said was an agent with the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service.
Burton replied: "No, we're not aware of any concrete connections between fundamentalist Islamist movements and the Day of Rage, or the October 2011 movement at this point," according to the email, as reported by Wikileaks.
O'Brien said another private intelligence firm, Provide Security, sent her a threatening message via Twitter: "Now you are really in over your head with this."
She said Provide Security sent her follow-up tweets saying she would encounter "problems" from forming a relationship with Anonymous, the hacker collective that brought the Stratfor files to light. O'Brien said Anonymous, which she describes as an "Internet swarm," has no relationship to the U.S. Day of Rage.
She said she later learned that two of the Provide Security employees, Kevin Schatzle and Thomas Ryan, had government ties.
In September 2011, O'Brien said, a man identifying himself as a federal agent told her confidentially that a classified Department of Homeland Security memo showed plans to infiltrate the group.
O'Brien said the government scrutiny became overwhelming to Lime Energy, where she was working at the time as a digital media architect. The company contracts with the government and major businesses.
"I became, essentially, a liability," O'Brien said.
She said the company's director of government contracts, a family friend, told her candidly that "contacts of the government" had approached him about her.
O'Brien said she tried to explain that she knew that U.S. Day of Rage was being monitored, but her boss said the problem was not only with her association.
"No, Alexa, you," he said, according to O'Brien. "Multiple times, multiple individuals."
Now an independent journalist, O'Brien testified that she shelved two investigations about Guantanamo detainees for fear of reprisal under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
The next witness was Kai Wargalla, 27, who said she "dropped everything" to bring her graduate studies from Germany to a tent in Occupy London.
London Police last year sent businesses a memo labeled "Terrorism / Extremism," listing the local Occupy movement alongside al-Qaida and militant groups from Columbia and Belarus, Wargalla said.
Wargalla says she also got involved in advocacy groups for Wikileaks, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning, and a movement called Revolution Truth.
Revolution Truth broadcasts "Live Panels" over the Internet on various topics, and considered inviting "groups like Hamas," a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, Wargalla said.
She said that she and other organizers shelved that idea after the NDAA was passed.
"It's not about me," she said. "It's about the whole group."
Asked if the British government threatened her, Wargalla replied, "Other than describing my group as a terrorist group, no," to laughter in the courtroom.
The hearing's only other non-U.S. citizen, Icelandic Parliamentarian Birgitta Jonsdottir, would not travel to New York for fear of being detained, according to a statement that Guardian columnist Naomi Wolf read into the record.
"I am acutely aware that WikiLeaks has been classified by elected political leaders and members of the Obama Administration as a terrorist organization," Jonsdottir said, citing remarks by House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King and Sarah Palin.
Jonsdottir said she pushed for broad transparency laws allowing WikiLeaks' operations in Iceland and helped produce a video of the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike that killed 11 people, including two journalists.
Wikileaks and Jonsdottir called it "Collateral Murder."
Hedges, who was the first to sue, was the last to testify.
A former war correspondent, Hedges read the U.S. State Department's list of designated terrorist groups on the witness stand, and said he met with 17 of them as a reporter.
Hedges described "piecing together the movements" of Sept. 11 ringleader Mohammed Atta, and having dinner with Hamas co-founder Abdel Aziz Al-Rantissi before Rantissi was killed in an Israeli airstrike. He also testified about being attacked by warplanes from Turkey, a U.S. ally, while traveling with Kurdish militants.
Hedges said some of his articles remain on radical Islamist websites, and he worries that U.S. government officials may not differentiate between reporting the views and activities of these groups and joining them.
"If you are countering the official narrative, there is no difference between you and the people you are covering," Hedges said.
He said he was detained during the first Gulf War for straying from the press pool – a detention he attributes to government efforts to control public perception.
Every time he gets a call from Iran, he says, it drops after the first ring, which he said reminded him of the Salvadoran government's tapping of his phone when he covered that conflict.
Hedges said the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act authorizing warrantless wiretapping dried up some of his sources, but the NDAA affects him directly.
"The NDAA is about me," he said.
During cross-examination, Hedges interrupted a government lawyer who asked whether the law made him "skittish."
"Skittish is one word," Hedges said. "Fear is another."
The remaining plaintiffs, Pentagon Papers source Daniel Ellsberg, M.I.T. Professor Noam Chomsky, and Revolution Truth founder Jennifer "Tangerine" Bolen, did not testify Thursday.
Government lawyers did not offer any witnesses in support of the law, which they said merely "affirmed" the decade-old Authorization to Use Military Force.
But Judge Forrest said the language had changed, and she must assume a purpose behind that.
"Congress writes legislation for a reason, right?" she asked.
Government lawyer Benjamin Torrance refused to answer a barrage of questions from Forrest about whether any of the witnesses could be detained for the actions they spoke about on the stand.
"I can't make specific representations regarding specific plaintiffs," Torrance said.
He said he had not been authorized to say whether Jonsdottir would have been detained, had she flown in from Iceland.
Torrance said he could only say, generally, that association with Wikileaks alone would not make her subject to the NDAA.
The judge said Torrance's answers did not help his case that common citizens do not need to fear the new law.
"If people weren't worried before those series of questions, they could worry about it now," she said. "It sounded like Mr. Hedges was all over co-belligerents."
To win the right to sue, only one of the seven plaintiffs needs to establish a "reasonable fear" of being detained for free speech.
The plaintiffs that remain standing can then challenge the law on constitutional grounds.
Government attorneys claimed that the phrases in the law that the plaintiffs consider vague have meanings in case law and briefs describing the executive branch's changing positions.
But Carl Mayer, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said "constantly moving" law is the "definition of vagueness."
Ultimately, the judge said she is bound by the Supreme Court's instructions in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project, which warn her to "tread carefully" before changing national security law.
But citing the difficulty of determining what "substantial support" or "associated forces" may mean, Forrest asked: "How does the common citizen know?"
Attorneys must deliver written arguments in April.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misstated the basis for the judge's stated skepticism at the beginning of the hearing. She made no definitive findings as to standing. Courthouse News regrets the error.

From the Mountains of the Moon to the Neon Paintbrush: Seeing and TechnologyPeter Walsh , Davis Museum and Cultural Center, USA
Session: Neon Paintbrush
Marshall McLuhan was fond of pointing out that new technologies changed not just those things directly and indirectly related to that technology, but all of human culture, and forever. Identifying these changes -- never an easy task -- was, for McLuhan, the first step towards understanding them.
The Neon Paintbrush will first explore the ways in which "looking" has always been different from "seeing" and how "seeing," in turn, helps create visual culture. Using examples from the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery, the paper will move on to show the dramatic changes new technologies have brought to visual cultures throughout the world, confirming McLuhan's theory of the relationship between technological and cultural change.
Moving on to the present, the paper will explore the changes that the World Wide Web is bringing to all kinds of visual culture. It will look at such phenomena as pirate museums, web-based art, the introduction of esoteric imagery, such as NASA photographs, into public life, and personal image archives on the web. It will explore how the web is altering such image-text cultures as television and newspaper journalism, biological research, museum presentations, historiography, and even the texts and images of private life.
Finally, the presentation will conclude with how the World Wide Web and related technologies are changing fundamental assumptions about visual imagery and are beginning to dissolve the traditional frontiers between visual cultures.

Ethan Lewis and Chrissy Teigen are the more modern Julie Powell and Julia Child of Julie and Julia. But instead of blogs, there are Instagram posts. And instead of a cordial response from the recipe creator, we got a stoked one.
Lewis, 26, didn't know much about the model/mom/foodie when his girlfriend Kathleen's mom got him Cravings — Teigen's cookbook — for Christmas last year. "Her mom, Susie, knows I love to cook," Lewis tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "I honestly didn't really know much about Chrissy Teigen at the time, and I don't think Susie did either, but considering the theme of the book is 'All of the food you WANT to eat' she knew all of the recipes in the book were full, fat full flavor, which is right up my alley."
What made it even better is that his girlfriend eats really healthy: "I'm talking seaweed chips and jackfruit (it's gross), so I think Susie got a rise out of the thought of me whipping up fried pork chops and mac and cheese while Kathleen's aggressively trying to stick to soul-sucking foods like cauliflower rice," he says.
Lewis started making Teigen's recipes and shared the final products with friends. "They loved the food and started asking me to try more of the recipes, and one of them suggested that I actually try every single recipe and re-create the pictures in the book that go along with them and use the content for an Instagram account," he recalls. This is where it gets good.
As Lewis explains, "Michael, Kathleen's brother, had several unused Instagram accounts (as one does), said he had just changed the name of one of his accounts to blackchrissyteigen, and that was that — we were off."
Six months later, the Los Angeles resident has posted only 17 photos but has amassed more than 80,000 followers. How? For one, his photos are hilarious. But Teigen has also helped. "We probably had about 50 followers for the first few weeks, until the hot wing incident," Lewis reveals.
The original photo Lewis is referring to is, as he describes, "pretty glamorous," featuring Teigen and John Legend eating chicken poolside with a picturesque view in the background. "The only thing we had from that photo were the hot wings," he says. "So in an effort to improvise, we replaced the infinity pool with a kiddie pool, the sweeping San Fernando Valley vista with my brother's starter home in Phoenix and Chrissy's designer bathing suit and supermodel physique with my beer belly and hairy chest." Sounds like a recipe for hilarity.
It took only 30 minutes for the post to take off. Teigen stumbled upon it, commented and reposted it on her account. "By the next morning we woke up to about 60,000 new followers. Kathleen was mortified." Lewis captioned the post, "The only thing hotter than these wings is my body."
When Teigen shared it on her Instagram account, she wrote, "Oh my god hell yeah this account @blackchrissyteigen." Her post has more than 300,000 likes, and Lewis's has over 15,000. But that's not his only post worth viewing. We're big fans of his take on her Dutch Baby Pancake, Jonn's Breakfast Sandwiches, and Crispy Bacon Hash Browns. The photo in the book features Teigen and Legend in bed, the singer bothering her while she reads the National Enquirer. In his version, Kathleen looks equally bothered. And the food looks equally delectable.
We also love any time he mimics Teigen feeding Legend, which apparently happens a lot.
And then there are the times Lewis takes on Teigen's facial expressions and is seriously successful.
Lewis is loving the food so far. He says, "The recipes are awesome; I usually cook for the same group of friends once a week or so, and every meal ends with someone saying 'OK, THIS was the best one yet.'"
Unfortunately, we won't be seeing Lewis remaking Teigen's hilarious Instagram posts, like her Ariana Grande character named Ariana Venti. "Sometimes after Chrissy posts something, people DM us asking us to re-create it, but we're going to stick to the cookbook pictures. Anything outside of that seems kind of creepy, as if what we're doing now isn't strange enough!" he explains.
The good thing is, he won't be running out of material any time soon, as Cravings 2 is coming out in 2018.
Ultimately, this is not an ode to Teigen, believe it or not. "If anything, it's an ode to Kathleen's mom, Susie, and an amazing gift that we're definitely getting a lot of use out of," Lewis said. "Our book is basically trashed. I think if you scraped all of the cheese, dried sauces, and chicken grease off the pages you might have a nice plate of leftovers."
