I can't think of many "normal" nights on Broadway, but last Friday was strangely weird. Forgive the redundancy. It wasn't that anything happened or didn't happen that ought to have, but there was something in the air and I felt it all night. It was something of chaos and the first rumblings of no good.
I don't know what it is that drew them out that night but Broadway was surprisingly busy with "street people," many of whom were new to us though they did not appear to be new to the streets. They all seemed preoccupied, too busy to even spare change. All night I was unnerved by the business and busyness that pervaded the streets, the unseen chaotic energy of motion for the sake of motion. I longed for movement of glory, business and busyness that did not forsake the dignity of those involved or the glory of God to whom all praise is due, motion with meaning and intention to see the Kingdom of God expand.
The chaos that I felt made my skin crawl and unsettled my soul. Please pray with us against the forces that delight in the degradation of humanity and the degradation of God's glory. Please pray with us that God would redeem the lives of those who have yet to proclaim His Kingship and Lordship and that He would redeem this city. Please pray with us that everything that is done in this place is done to the glory, honor, and praise of God.

ALAN Cork isn't keen on Sunday matches. In fact, he positively hates them.
The Bluebirds manager is a traditionalist and likes soccer played on a Saturday afternoon.
But television commitments - the clash with Swindon Town is being shown live on HTV - mean Cardiff City have a 2.15pm kick-off at the County Ground.
Cork, however, is not unhappy that City are playing away - and he's not perturbed that four of the next five Nationwide League matches are on the road.
"Right now we might be better off playing away because we seem a bit nervous at home," said Cork. "Cardiff City fans are amazing, they are superb, but their passion can make the players a bit nervy.
"There will be 3,000 Bluebirds fans at Swindon and that's great. We need to get a win and start a little run to build confidence.
"The match at Swindon will be difficult, but both teams try to play football and it should be good to watch."
To Cork's delight, City's midweek win against Rushden and Diamonds, when the Bluebirds hit seven, has brought out the humourous best in his players.
Cork rested all his current first choice players and handed the task to "fringe players".
Gavin Gordon struck five goals in a runaway victory, and Cork said: "There have been plenty of giggles about that - plenty of stick handed out.
"Team spirit is excellent and that result in midweek lifted spirits all round - and produced the opportunity for some good banter.
"Team spirit is 40 per cent of the job in football, and all we need is a little bit of luck. I've been watching our match against Wigan Athletic on video and we had 23 shots to their 14 - they had three shots in the second half and scored a goal.
"We aren't doing a lot wrong, we are creating chances and we'll score goals. But our mistakes get punished.
"The players believe in what we are doing, we are playing entertaining football and we'll keep doing that."
Cork is likely to field an unchanged team from the draw against Wigan, resisting the obvious temptation to call up five-goal Gordon.
"The problem is, who would I leave out from Paul Brayson, Peter Thorne and Robert Earnshaw?" said Cork. "In my view we couldn't leave any of those three out.
"Gavin did exceptionally well against Rushden and it is always a tremendous feat to score five, but it has to be said Rushden were a poor side."
Cork has named the same 16 who were on duty for the Wigan match, and he's added goalkeeper Lee Kendall plus Leo Fortune-West. An ankle injury kept Fortune-West out of the squad against Wigan, but he is now fit again.
City go into the clash with Swindon having failed to win in their last five Second Division matches, but Cork is resisting the calls from fans to make changes at the back.

A 6-month-old was laid to rest one week after she was killed on the lap of her own father.
Hundreds of loving friends and family said goodbye to Johnylah Watkins, a little girl they hardly got to know.
A tiny white casket was removed from a hearse outside New Beginnings Church of Chicago. Onlookers wept as the mother and father of young Jonylah followed their only child into a funeral home for a final farewell.
Inside, there were demands from the pulpit; too much violence, too many deaths. The people of Chicago for days have wanted answers. This day in particular, they want action.
They sang, they prayed, they wept and then they left. It's a community becoming all too familiar with the routine of a funeral up in arms over the senseless bloodshed that could even take a life as vulnerable and innocent as young Jonylah's.
Jonylah's dad Jonathan, police say, has known gang affiliation and a criminal record with 30-plus arrests and five convictions. He was the target, police say.
There are no suspects in custody at this.

North Carolina becomes a hotbed of Olympic speedskating
The U.S. Olympic speedskating team at the 2018 Winter Olympics has a North Carolina accent.
Long track skater Heather Bergsma and short track coach Anthony Barthell hail from High Point, N.C., while long tracker Kimani Griffin is from Winston-Salem.
The Tar Heel State isn't known as a hotbed for ice sports. But the state has a reputation as a mecca for inline skating, which has increasingly become a key supplier of talent for the U.S. ice speedskating program.
"Through inline speedskating we've kind of pursued the Olympic dream, and the only way real way to do that is to switch over to ice," said Griffin, who is skating in his first Winter Games. "I'm not really sure why, but I know North Carolina and Florida are hotbeds for some of the best athletes as far as inline skating goes."
The state has a distinguished history in inline skating and a track record of those inliners going from wheels to steel.
Joey Cheek, who won gold and silver medals at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy, and a bronze medal in 2002 in Salt Lake City, is from Greensboro.
His Olympic exploits have earned him induction in the Noth Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in May and a job in the broadcast booth doing speedskating commentary for NBC in Pyeongchang during this year's Winter Games.
Bergsma is participating in her third Winter Games after finishing 6th in the women's team pursuit at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
She has struggled so far in Pyeongchang, finishing eighth in the women's 1,000 meters on Wednesday and eighth in the 1,500 meters on Monday. She's scheduled to compete in the women's 500 meters on Sunday and a mass start race on Feb. 24.
Barthell never competed in the Olympics, but enjoyed a successful short track skating career that led to him becoming head coach of Australia's national short track speedskating team in 2014 and the U.S. short track team boss in 2016.
They are all part of a growing core of inline skaters from non-traditional ice skating areas such as Florida, Texas and California who are helping stock the U.S. ice speedskating ranks.
Six of the 13 members of the long track speedskating team in Pyeongchang have inline backgrounds. Thirteen inline skaters have won 11 of 18 individual Olympic long track medals for the U.S. since 2002.
"Knowing that the kids from North Carolina are on the Olympic team, knowing that they came from inline skating kind of gives a solid, you know, 'Yoo-hoo!'" said Scott Hiatt, a High Point resident and former champion inline skater. "It was kind of set in motion years and years ago, and now the fruit from that seed is growing."
It all goes back to Bob Byerly, who founded High Point's Rol-a-Rink Speed Skating club in 1958.
Convinced that roller skate racing would someday become an Olympic sport, Byerly shifted his attention from operating three rinks in the High Point area to coaching his speed team.
"We had a really great team and a great coach from about 1975 to 1999," said Hiatt, who helped run the program with Shannon Shuskey after Byerly retired in 1999. "Our neighbors in Greensboro kind of fed off us as well, so we had a really good rivalry going."
The High Point team started producing champions like Hiatt, who won three world titles between 1992 and 1999 and more than 40 national indoor and outdoor titles. The tradition continued with inliners such as Bergsma and Griffin.
"I grew up skating with Heather since I was nine. I joined the team in 1998-99," Griffin said.
Other clubs in the state were also cranking out world-class skaters. The Piedmont Speed Club developed Cheek, further enhancing the state's reputation as an inline capital and spurring hardcore skaters to flock to North Carolina.
"We were having people come from Florida, Michigan, driving from Danville, Va., from Hickory, N.C.," Hiatt said. "We were pulling in a lot of kids."
Shuskey, who trained Bergsma and Griffin, said North Carolina was stacked with "phenomenal athletes" who were driven to succeed in inline and had a burning desire to become Olympians.
"When these guys were kids, for example, Heather (Bergsma) would call me and say 'Hey, what else can I do training-wise?' other than what she's doing," he said. "Her mom and other parents had to slow their kids down because they wanted to train and work hard because they wanted to be the best, whether it was in the country, the region or the world."
Inline skaters make excellent ice speedskaters because of their intense training regimen, according to Nathaniel Mills, a three-time Olympic speedskater who founded a Washington, D.C., learn to skate program.
"They're just animals, they train so much harder," Mills said. "They're racing more frequently, they're doing long distance races. There's thousands of registered youth inline speedskaters in the U.S. There are only hundreds of ice speedskaters. The competition is so much higher to make junior national teams in inline, to make world teams. So from an early age, they have to be good."
The transition to blades is difficult because of the different mechanics involved. Griffin said it's taken him six years to feel good on ice.
"This is a sport that's so unorthodox and so unnatural as far as body position," he said. "The physics of the sport that allow you to go fast just aren't things that the body naturally wants to do. I think it takes most people no less than 5-6 years to be like really good."
While Griffin has successfully made the transition to ice speedskating, he hasn't lost the passion for inline.
He recently bought a new pair of inline skates and is considering trying out for the U.S. inline speedskating team when his ice season is done.
"It was kind of a joke at first, like 'Oh, maybe I'll skate World Cup selection or world championship selection for inline,'" said Griffin, who skated inline for the U.S. from 2006-07. "Then it was 'Oh, maybe I should do that, I'm in the best shape of my life' and it's kind of like my pastime."

Honor Flight // Washington D.C.
I gotta say, this assignment was one of the greatest honors I've ever been given as a photographer. For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated w history. War history in particular. It's always been difficult for me to wrap my lil mind around the amount of courage and sacrifice the brave men and women of this country have had to call upon during these moments in time. And it's just completely fascinating to me, what they have endured.
Honor Flight gives Vietnam and WWII veterans a trip of a lifetime. The organization flies around 50 vets to D.C for 3 days to see the war memorial that have been built in their honor. For some of these vets,, the WWII ones in particular, time is of the essence. There aren't many of them left and providing them this opportunity will often time be one of the last chapters of their lives.
This particular trip was for Vietnam veterans and I cannot accurately articulate what this wknd meant to the men and women who were on this journey. However, hopefully these words from one of our Honor Flight veterans will give you all a true understanding of the impact this trip had on their lives.
Dear Honor Flight Nevada,
I can't adequately express in words my gratitude for being included for the Oct 3-5th trip. I'm sure you have heard many stories from grateful VETS who have been on these trips. Here is mine.
My twin and I were born and raised in the Air Force. Our whole world was the military. Looking back, we could have had a more enriched upbringing and childhood experience.
Like so many other BRATS, we chose to join the military after high school. Paul entered the USMC in 1965, I followed early in '66.
While stationed at Camp Pendleton in August of 66, I was told by my commanding officer that my twin brother Paul, had been killed in action.
Later that fall, while stationed as NAS, Jacksonsville, FL, i was bothered by a constant twitch in one of my eyes as well as a deep down aching inside. A young Navy Dr explained that the eye twitch was most likely caused by the emotional trauma I was experiencing. Time heals, soon after, the eye twitch stopped.
But the aching persisted. For the past 50 years, I have often felt that ache, as well as the survivor's remorse and regrets, and constant reminders of all the ill treatment experienced by so many who gave so much.
During my experience on the Honor Flight, a change came over me. Reaching up to touch Paul's name on that wall and surrounded by my comrades, I experienced a feeling of peace for the first time in all those years.
After I returned home, the quilt, stayed in it's protected cover for several days while I contemplated where it should be kept. Then one evening, I took it out of the cover and sat back in my favorite chair. As as I sat there with that beautiful quilt wrapped around me I began to feel that peaceful contentment again and the ache finally went away. I'll have it by my side always.
Thanks so much to you and everyone who has had a part in this very healing experience. Please feel free to share this letter with them. On behalf of all VETS, you folk have done a wonderful thing for us

Washington, DC – The USMMA baseball team committed five errors Sunday afternoon in an 8-2 loss in the rubber game of a three-game series against Catholic. Andrew MacKinnon (Buffalo, NY) and Cameron Stadele (Alpharetta, GA) were both 2-of-4 with one RBI at the plate. Robin Mowatt tossed eight innings for the home team and allowed just two earns, neither of which were earned.
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (16-11-1, 7-8 Landmark) struck in the top of the first as Stadele deposited a RBI single into right field. The Cardinals leveled it at 1-1 in the bottom of the third with help of a two-out error on the Mariner infield. CUA pushed its advantage to 3-1 in the fourth with a RBI single as well as a bases loaded hit by pitch. MacKinnon brought the Mariners back to within one at 3-2 in the fifth with a two-out RBI single.
Catholic (18-15, 8-6 Landmark) immediately answered with two runs in the bottom of the fifth. Marc Hanna added insurance runs with RBI hits in the sixth and eighth while Paul Burmester also drove in a run in the eighth as the Cardinals built an 8-2 cushion. The Mariners registered 11 hits in the game but were unable to get any more runs in the series finale.
The USMMA baseball team returns to the field Wednesday for a non-conference 4:00 PM clash at Mount Saint Vincent.

After more than a month, this series is finally returning. How sad is it that I had to look at the name of another post to make sure I had it right? I love these. 🙂
Days of the Kill is unfortunately still on hold. I've been looking at it more, though, so maybe the editor won't have quite as much to rip apart… Oh, and I'm only about $400 away from my goal. Two more paychecks it is. 🙂
The Path to Biological is going fairly well. I'm still on the third draft. Editing has slowed down quite a bit, but maybe I'll be picking it up again soon. I hope so, anyway!
The Child of Fault is slow-going. I'm on the second draft. There's a lot of things happening in that book, and…wow. I have a lot to work on in that book. Of course, I have a lot to work on with any first draft I create.
Bethany's Corpse is going really well. I have finally finished the first draft! So proud of myself. Now, I need to take a month off of that and really focus on other things. I've been so focused on getting this one done I haven't left time for anything else!
I'm so happy with how much I've done in the time that we've been apart, but really I missed this series. I'm so glad to be getting back to it.
Well, I guess that's it for this week. Until next week…stay tuned!

'Top Chef' starts now: Here's where to watch the premiere of the Kentucky season
The Kentucky season of Bravo TV's "Top Chef" debuts Thursday at 9 p.m. and several local places are having watch parties.
The show announced last spring that they would come to Kentucky to film the 16th season and foodies have been hungry for their first taste of the Bluegrass flavor ever since. They set up a Facebook group, Top Chef Kentucky, to share tidbits. As the season began filming in May, fans in Louisville and Lexington eagerly shared sightings of cheftestants dashing around Whole Foods stores buying ingredients.
When glamorous host Padma Lakshmi began sharing her Kentucky dining adventures on social media, she was inundated with suggestions for where to go next.
As the show set up audiences for challenges, chatter about who was going/couldn't go/was dying to go to various venues. One woman on Facebook bemoaned buying a flapper-style dress only to miss the taping; others eagerly let slip that they'd made the cut for Restaurant Wars.
The buzz is only a sample of what Kentucky tourism officials are anticipating once the season begins.
Commissioner Kristen Branscum with the Kentucky Department of Tourism said she hopes everyone watches and says "I'm missing out!" and makes plans to come to Kentucky. Where will she be watching?
At the Brown Theatre in Louisville, where she and Louisville chef Annie Pettry will host a Q&A session afterward. The doors open at 8:30 p.m. and it's free. They also will have pieces of the set there for you to take photos with.
But Branscum is thinking big-picture, too. After every episode airs, KentuckyTourism.com will post episode-specific itineraries, so that fans can immediately plan trips to Louisville, to Lexington, to Lake Cumberland, to anywhere in Kentucky that is mentioned.
"We'll have a full recap, and 'as seen here' trips so you can visit Churchill Downs," she said. "And we even want to get down in the weeds ... If you see one of them drinking an Ale 8 in the background, we want to tell you how to get one. … Everything you can possibly do, drink, or eat in Kentucky we want you to have a chance to do."
Those talented Kentuckians will include contestant Sara Bradley of Freight House restaurant in Paducah, but also many more who will appear as judges, as featured guests, and even the thousands who made it to tapings. One of the most fun things for many Kentuckians will be watching for their friends and neighbors (or even themselves, if they were lucky) to wander by in the background.
If you want to make a party of the premiere, here are several places to check out:
▪ West Sixth Brewing, 501 West Sixth Street, is hosting a party from 8 to 11 p.m. There will be beer and food specials and prizes.
▪ J Render's Southern Table & Bar, 3191 Beaumont Centre Circle, is hosting a party from 9 to 10 p.m. with a new appetizer, the J. Render's Original Chicken Fried Pork Wing, plus smoked baby back ribs fried like chicken and drizzled with an apple pepper glaze. For drinks, there will be happy hour prices all during the show: half-price draft beer and wine by the glass, $1 off cocktails and bottled beer and half-price select apps.
▪ Sidebar Grill, 147 North Limestone, will have a viewing party with specials including Kentucky burgoo, hot browns, wings with bourbon barbecue sauce. Get a basket of wings and fries and a shot of bourbon for $14. All beer will be happy hour prices during the show.
▪ Louie's Wine Dive, 854 East High Street, will host a viewing party from 8 to 10 p.m. with a special menu from chef Carrie Arps including Kentucky bourbon balls and more, including deviled eggs, fried chicken wings with cabernet chipotle sauce, bread pudding, and beer cheese. There will be wine and drink deals, too. And the show will air on the large projection screen in the private "barrel room."
▪ The Stave, 5711 McCracken Pike in Versailles, will host a watch party with curated bourbon flights and a dinner special from chef Jon Sanning inspired by Kentucky cuisine. TVs will be on starting at 7 p.m. Vegetarian options, too.

Posted by Tamara Hogan Mar 2 2018, 12:01 am in Coastal Magic, Nancy Holland, reader cons, tamara hogan
Over the years, I've heard great things about the Coastal Magic Convention. As it says at their website, Coastal Magic is "a super casual, urban fantasy, paranormal, and romance focused convention in Daytona Beach, Florida."
Casual? Great. Super casual? Even better. Florida, during the winter? Please, tell me more!
As The Most Introverted Author on the Planet™, I've never attended Coastal Magic myself, so my friend and Midwest Fiction Writers chaptermate Nancy Holland, who just returned, has kindly agreed to give us a sneak-peak into her experience.
Take it away, Nancy!
Hi, everyone. Thanks to Tamara Hogan and the other Rubies for having me on the blog today! I went to the Coastal Magic Conference last week in Daytona Beach, Florida, and thought you might be interested in a report on this small, friendly, and low-key event.
One reason for a writer from Minnesota to attend this February event should be obvious.
Coastal Magic started out as a fantasy/paranormal con, but has expanded into a more general romance conference that includes a wide diversity of genres, authors, and readers, including everything from YA to gritty romantic suspense to m/m to high fantasy. Unlike most RWA chapter conferences I've attended, the focus is very much on author/attendee interaction (including a featured "lunch with an author"). Plus they have a MST3000-style movie night, a big party, and great giveaways. [Tammy adds: I saw the Cinema Craptastique tweets. OMG, hilarious! Jason Mamoa sightings are always a plus.]
Coastal Magic Book Signing
There are also vendors, lots of bloggers, and a book-signing on Saturday afternoon that's open to the public.
And I had a great time!
One unique feature of Coastal Magic derives from its origins as a fantasy and paranormal con. Rather than panels on craft, marketing, etc., they focused on what I'd call content areas — m/m romance, military/law enforcement, westerns, horror and, of course, fantasy. This way of organizing the conference meant I could interact with and learn from other fantasy authors who draw from history, myths, and legends in their stories, while trying to remain true both to their source material and their own visions.
There were also panels on topics such as research, "changing lanes" from one subgenre to another, sidekicks, and audiobooks. The diversity panel was especially interesting to me because it included a conversation about how even authors from traditionally under-represented groups have to work around and with the larger culture's stereotypes of those groups. There was also a discussion of how to take cultures and stories we think we understand (e.g., Arthurian legend) and make them new again. An amazing number of the authors on the panels I attended were anthropology, history, classics, and religion majors in college. In other words, my people.
It's always fun to check out the SWAG!
The conference was well-run, with excellent moderators and speakers at all the panels I attended, and that appeared to be the case across the board. The social events were fun (if a bit raucous for an introvert like me). That said, I agree with the advice Damon Suede gave me when he told me about Coastal Magic — you should go as an "attendee" before asking to be included as an "invited author." (Despite having a great time and making new friends, I haven't decided if this event is the right match for me and my readers in the long run.) The cost of the con is reasonable; it's held in a lovely resort hotel; and if you live near Daytona Beach, you can register for one or two days rather than committing to the whole event. I'd encourage you to check it out: Coastal Magic Convention website | Twitter
Thanks for the reconnaissance, Nancy!
Today's question: As a reader or as an author, what are your questions about, or experiences with, regional or genre-specific conferences and conventions? We'd love to hear from you.
Here's the blurb for Nancy's new fantasy novel, Thalgor's Witch:
Isn't that cover gorgeous?!? Excerpt and purchase information is available here.

Thank you for sharing this information Nancy and Tammy. I've never considered this conference but it seems like it has a lot to offer authors, and readers. I do love meeting readers.
Between introversion and sensory issues, I'm rarely at my best in large group settings, but one of these smaller cons might be a manageable way for me to connect with readers.
Something to think about!
Thanks for dropping by, Autumn. It really was fun!
What a wonderful post! I love the vibrance and enthusiasm and excitement of regional/local conferences. Every one I've ever attended has been a thoroughly enjoyable experiences full of new people, great workshops and the fun realization/reminder of…"gee, I get to do this awesome writer thing with amazing fellow authors and readers."
I always walk away humbled and pumped up.
You're right, Addison. Local cons are usually great, but this one had a special feel because the attendees and authors come year after year and, since it's not an RWA chapter event, this is often the only time they see each other. It's almost like a family reunion (but much friendlier to newbies)!
The only reader-focused con I've ever been to has been RT – nothing like starting big, hmm? – and it was just too noisy and chaotic for me.
No reader wants to talk to the author who's scowling/overwhelmed. 😐
Thank you for the info, Nancy! I'm always curious to hear about different conferences – especially from someone who is a fellow introvert who can be overwhelmed by the crowds. This one sounds like a lot of fun – and Florida? Yes, please. I may have to give it some thought in future years.
Thank you for giving us this rundown!
One thing that kept this con low-key was that there weren't official pitch sessions (although I did overhear authors talking to editors). And no one minded when I ate alone, went back to my room, or took a long walk to regroup.
This was my third year as a featured author at Coastal Magic. It really is a lot of fun–way more relaxed than most of the professional conventions I go to, like RWA Nationals. SO many fabulous people. Also since I'm from upstate NY, I definitely agree about Daytona Beach in February!
I highly recommend it.
Thanks for stopping by, Deborah. It's nice to have someone with more experience back a newbie up!
I enjoyed meeting you at Coastal Magic, Nancy. This was my third year attending, my second as a "Featured Blogger". Coastal Magic was the first Author/Reader convention I attended, and it opened up a whole new world for me.
I loved how friendly and welcoming everyone was my first year. Alone and a newbie I was worried I would feel out-of-place, but a few of my favorite authors were attending, so I had to go. I'll never regret the experience. CMCon is a must-attend conference for me. I attend others, but I think it will remain a favorite. I loved RWA2017 in Orlando, but that was over-whelming it was so big.
Coast Magic is all about readers and authors getting to know each other, and variations thereof. Game night is one of my favorites events, although Swag Bingo and Swag Crafts were fun as well.
Sorry Nancy, we never did get to actually eat lunch together, although we did have a nice walk. Daytona Beach is beautiful and warm this time of year.
Great write-up, Nancy!
This was my first year as a featured author, but I attended as a reader last year. It's a blast either way! CMC is intimate and relaxed, but you have opportunities to meet with so many great authors and readers. I also really like the content-themed panels. It's fun to get insight into how other authors in your genre approach the process and what inspires them. It was clear to me after attending last year why so many authors attend year-after-year! 🙂
And yes – you simply can't beat a beach getaway in the middle of February. <3

This has got to be one of my favorite homemade hummuses. The roasted carrots make it SO special! The roasting of the carrots does make this hummus a bit longer to prep, but it is worth it! I used FRESH chickpeas with this recipe, but if you do not have time to cook the chickpeas or do not have fresh chickpeas on hand, 2 boxes will do just fine.
This recipe makes a good amount of hummus. You can eat it all, give some to a friend, or store it in the fridge for the week and eat it with pita chips, cucumbers, celery and carrots.. is that weird to eat carrot hummus with carrots?
You will need some kind of bender for this recipe.
- 4 large sized carrots - roughly chopped
- EVOO for roasting carrots
- 2 tbs EVOO to put in HUMMUS while mixing
- salt (you will add salt to the carrots and then more to the hummus while mixing)
- pepper
- 1 cup raw dried chick peas (you will be cooking these, I did it in a crockpot just add water and cook for a couple hours on high) OR 2 Boxes/BPA free cans of chickpeas
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 garlic clove chopped
- Juice of 1/2 large lemon or 1 small lemon
- 1/2 cup-2/3 cup water - depends on how thick your hummus ends up being. Add water as needed.
* If using fresh chickpeas cook them according to package,
- preheat oven to 400 degrees
- place roughly chopped carrots coated with EVOO, salt and pepper in the oven for about 20 minutes or until tender.
- While carrots are cooking squeeze your lemon, measure out your 2 tbs of EVOO, 1/2 C tahini and all of your spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric and salt).
- Dump the chickpeas, cooked carrots and all your mise en place (aka all the food you prepped) in the blender- don't forget your garlic clove.
- Blend and slowly add in water. You will need to pause and scrape down the sides and then start to blend again.
- Your hummus is done when it is smooth and all mixed. It will be a beautiful orange color and will taste AWESOME! You can serve it in a bowl and add a bit of EVOO to the top if you wish.

What You Need to Know About the GMO Label Law
It's a practical compromise solution that hopefully will put this issue to bed; but it does have special requirements.
You probably know by now that in July the House concurred with Senate bill 764 and President Obama signed the legislation requiring the development of a national standard for GMO labeling – pre-empting and barring any state regulations for such labeling.
But, do you know exactly what the new regulation means to you and consumers? Following is a summary of the key points of the rule.
The Basics: The term "bioengineering" (and any similar term) refers to a food that contains genetic material that has been modified through in vitro recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) techniques, for which the modification could not otherwise be obtained through conventional breeding or be found in nature. A food derived from an animal cannot be considered a bioengineered food just because the animal consumed feed produced from, containing or consisting of a bioengineered substance. The rule does not apply to food served in a restaurant or similar foodservice establishment.
With the passage of the rule, no state or political subdivision of a state may establish or continue any requirement for the labeling or disclosure of whether a food or seed is bioengineered or was developed or produced using bioengineering that is not identical to the mandatory disclosure requirement. So this effectively closes down the new regulations in Vermont and any other states that may be planning to do the same thing.
The Timeframe: Within two years of enactment, USDA is to create a national mandatory bioengineered food labeling program, considering consistency with that of the Organic Foods Production Act. It also is to establish a process for requesting and granting a determination regarding other factors and conditions under which a food is considered a bioengineered food.
The Requirements: In general, the bill requires food manufacturers to disclose the presence of bioengineered foods on product packaging. Specifically, it requires:
- On-package disclosure of GMO ingredients by text, a symbol or electronic or digital link (excluding URLs not embedded in the link) with language such as "Scan here for more food information."
- Small food manufacturers have the option to simply list a telephone number stating "Call for more food information" or a website. Very small manufacturers are exempt.
- The electronic or digital link disclosure must be of sufficient size to be easily and effectively scanned or read by a digital device.
- The electronic or digital link must provide access to the bioengineering disclosure located, consistently and conspicuously, on the first product information page that appears for the product on mobile device, website or other landing page, and include a telephone number that provides access to the bioengineering disclosure.
- The page is to have no marketing and promotional information, nor can the electronic or digital link disclosure collect, analyze or sell any personally identifiable information about consumers or the devices of consumers.
- Each food manufacturer has the prerogative to determine the disclosure option for its products.
- Reasonable alternative options are to be provided for food contained in small or very small packages.
A food may not be considered to be ''not bioengineered,'' ''non-GMO,'' or any other similar claim describing the absence of bioengineering in the food solely because the food is not required to bear a disclosure. However, certification of a food under the national organic program shall be considered sufficient to make a claim regarding the absence of bioengineering in the food – which makes sense since "organic food" is not allowed to contain GMOs.
As with all such rules, recordkeeping will be required to be made available to inspectors on request; however the specifics of the records are to be determined as the specifics of the standards are developed.
USDA is also to conduct a study, within a year after enactment, to determine any potential technological challenges consumers may face in accessing an electronic or digital disclosure. If it is determined that shoppers will not have sufficient access, then additional, comparable options for access are to be provided.
Interestingly, the rule specifically states that "the Secretary shall have no authority to recall any food on the basis of whether the food bears a disclosure that the food is bioengineered." This fits with the idea that bioengineered food does not represent any type of public health threat.
While some stakeholders have criticized the rule, calling it anti-consumer and a denial of consumers' right to know, others applaud it as a "bipartisan agreement that supports science, which has shown that GMOs are safe," and as a way of preventing a "patchwork of state laws."
From my perspective, this is probably about the best outcome one could have hoped for. Food companies are not going to have to deal with individual state requirements, which, if allowed to move forward, would have had an impact on both the cost of food as well as the availability of food on a state-by-state basis.
The fact that this program is going to track with the USDA organic program is a strong signal that GMO food does not present any type of public health threat. If FDA were not clear about the safety of GMO food, that agency would want control of the GMO issue.
While this bill may not have given consumer organizations all they want, it is a practical mid-line solution that hopefully will put this issue to bed permanently and allow food companies to focus on real public health issues.

Our Story:
"About 3 years ago I installed 23 solar panels on my home in Carlsbad, CA. Everything was going fine until I started to notice my output slowly decreasing. I adjusted for seasonality and shorter days but there was still a significant drop. What was going on? I did some research and found to my surprise, that over time, dust and other debris accumulation can cause up to a 30% drop in solar panel output. After having my panels cleaned , I discovered an immediate 15% increase in output. And this 15% translated to $500 in cold hard cash savings per year. This is why we started SolarTidy. Our mission is to optimize each of our customer's solar panels for maximum output and save them a ton of money, guaranteed! " – Brian, CEO of SolarTidy

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is solar panel cleaning essential?
Have you had solar panels installed for 6 months or more? When you had your solar panels installed did you consider the importance of maintenance? All solar panels are purchased and installed with the understanding that even though the initial costs of the investment are significant, the future savings are well worth the outlay! However, what began as a good intention may have been a waste of your time, effort and ultimately your money. The harsh environmental elements have the ability to rapidly diminish the efficiency of your solar panels. Without regular cleaning, all of these good intentions could potentially be costing you hundreds of dollars! Not only do the manufacturers recommend it, regular solar panel cleaning is a no brainer once you begin to outweigh the costs of the maintenance to the potential financial losses.
- How will solar panel cleaning protect my warranty?
Did you know, most solar panel manufacturers specify regular cleaning as a requirement of warranty periods and claims? Not only do they specify regular cleaning periods, they also specify required methods of cleaning. Harsh chemicals not only damage your solar panels they also have the ability to void your solar panel warranty! Using a SolarTidy servicer, you'll receive a tailored fit cleaning within the warranty guidelines of your solar panels warranty requirements. Through the use of chemical free de-ionised water, soft bristle brushes and safe handling- not only will it boost the efficiency of your panels, it will ultimately protect your warranty!
- Will Rain Clean My Solar Panels?
With the recent rains in Southern California, people often wonder if rain is enough to clean your solar panels? Although rain will provide a minimal rinse off any loose dirt or dust, it will not remove the baked in dirt and debris. To illustrate this, consider what would happen to your car's windshield if you didn't clean it for 6 months? The grime and dirt would "green over", completely blocking your visibility (and light) from entering your car. Think about how dirty your car/windshield gets even after several weeks. And the morning after a rain, remember how your car (if left outside) seems even dirtier than before, like the dust and dirt was just moved around. The fact is that rain contains dust particles that settle and attach to the surface after the rainwater evaporates. When we use our windshield wipers, we clean the center of the screen, but where the wipers do not reach, there is a nasty film of dirt. Your solar panels are in the same condition as the edge of the windshield, where the wipers can't reach, and likely even worse, since the angle of most solar panels is less than your windshield. Also, the minimal loose dust that does move by the rain will lead to dust accumulating in the lower row of each solar panel, which can cause significant heating. In a string of photovoltaic cells in a panel, if one cell is shaded the others will force current through it, which makes the cell heat up, and will cause a significant decrease in your solar output and greatly reducing the lifespan of your panels.
We've recently cleaned many homes/businesses shortly after a rain and the before pictures are just as bad as we find them in the middle of summer! And our customers routinely report a 15-20% boost in power output after having their solar panels cleaned, even days after it rains.
For more information and pictures see our blog post on the subject
- What is De-ionized water and why do you use it?
De-ionized water is water that has been filtered to remove ions. We use de-ionized water as it is 100% chemical free and environmentally sustainable. However, the major benefit of its use is the spot and blemish free finish! This finish allows the panels to operate at their maximum capacity, optimizing their efficiency and ultimately allows all clients to receive the most financial benefits from their investment.
- Can't I just clean the panels myself?
You could, but consider this 1) It's unsafe for you to go on your roof unless you're trained and have the proper equipment 2) Spraying your panels with tap water will leave hard water spots, which blocks UV rays and reduces your power output 3) Pressurized water can damage the panels 4) Without being trained you won't be able to detect weather damage or cracks in your panels 4) It takes time to do it right. Your time is valuable. Let professionals do the job right while you relax!
- Do I need to be home when you are cleaning them?
No. As long as we have access to your roof (or where your panels) are located, you will not need to be home. You can also contact us by phone or email to make any schedule changes or coordinate instructions for easy access to the roof.
- How often do you recommend I should get them cleaned?
There are endless environmental factors with the ability to cause a build up of dirt and grime on your panels. For these reasons, having your panels cleaned 2-3 times per year is adequate for most residential systems and is also recommended by most solar panel manufacturers. Regular cleanings will ensure your system is performing at optimal levels throughout the year.
- Can you clean my windows too?
Yes. We can clean your exterior windows too, leaving them amazingly spot-free. Packages start at $100! Please see our Window Washing page for more information.
- Are you licensed and insured?
SolarTidy (SolarTidy.com) is an online platform and operates using a franchise model. SolarTidy San Diego (WGI Media Group) is an independent LLC (a franchise of SolarTidy) that provides the cleaning service for the San Diego area.

UAB IT welcomes fourth Innovate Birmingham graduate
Daniel Martinez was living in Florida, working in marketing but hoping to learn more about software development, when he heard about a unique grant-funded program that gives underemployed young people a chance to learn about coding.
So Martinez packed up everything and "drove all the way to Birmingham," he said.
That gamble paid off when he graduated from the latest Innovate Birmingham class on Dec. 15 — and started work the following Monday as an entry-level developer with UAB IT.
"This program changed my life completely," Martinez said.
Martinez is the fourth graduate of the Innovate Birmingham program to come to work with UAB IT. UAB, which helped secure the grant funding for Innovate Birmingham, has been a leading partner in the effort.
With a background in digital marketing with startup companies, Martinez was used to working with developers — so he knew that was his interest. And as a native of Colombia, he is accustomed to new places.
"It wasn't hard to make the decision," he said.
Bill Laughlin, director of UAB IT's applications and consulting services team, said the new job will give Martinez greater opportunity to expand his skills.
"He comes to us with a broad but beginning spread of programming languages and component languages, so we are very excited to have him as a team member," Laughlin said.

Canadian Forces Artist Program (2003-2011)
Created in 2001, the Canadian Forces Artists Program gives "professional Canadian artists the opportunity to research, understand and reflect on the participation of men and women of the Canadian Forces in a wide variety of activities at home and abroad."
More on the CFAP: http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-dhp/gal/ap-pa/index-eng.asp
Sherbrooke QC (2004)
Selected as a visual artist to participate in the Canadian Forces Artist Program in 2003, I was sent to Sherbrooke Quebec on a bitterly cold winter week to observe the training of the Vandoos (22nd regiment). The rocky hilly terrain of the Sherbrooke area was used as training grounds because of its similarity to the mountainous area near Kabul, Afghanistan.
The Department of National Defense had planned to send four of us with the Canadian Forces to Afghanistan but concluded that the circumstances at the time were too dangerous, and obtaining insurance for civilians in a war zone was practically impossible.
The Parade (2007)
In 2005, the Canadian Forces Artist Program provided me with a remarkable opportunity to witness the training of Canadian soldiers up close, while they prepared for the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland and Victory in Europe Day.
I was sent to Harskamp army base, in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands, where I lived in barracks with our soldiers for three weeks in April and May. I travelled with Canadian soldiers and veterans to battlegrounds and cemeteries and watched the soldiers' performances of parachute jumps, concerts, tattoos and parades.
The Liberation Parade in Apeldoorn attracted such a big crowd that I was told to march behind our soldiers in order not to get lost. This moving experience became the inspiration for the 13 panel artwork The Parade.
The Parade
Acrylic on canvas, 48 x 156 in, 122 x 396 cm, 2007, Collection Canadian War Museum, Ottawa Canada
Together Side by Side / Samen Naast Elkaar / Ensemble côte à côte (2010)
Together Side by Side
Acrylic & photo on wood, 48 x 780 in, 122 x 1981 cm, 2010, Collection City of Apeldoorn, Netherlands
After completing The Parade, I felt the need to express much more of what I experienced in the Netherlands. Visually, I was struck by the beauty and order of the numerous rows of gravestones, and how this image contrasted with the unforgettable chaos of war.
In 2010, I completed a 65 panel installation, each panel shaped like a gravestone. The background of Together Side by Side could be described as a meditation on the complicated subject of conflict and war, but the focus is clearly on the act of remembering as part of the psychological healing.
About Together Side by Side
Karole Marois, Legion Magazine, page 22
On February 17th, 2011 a symposium was held at the Canadian War Museum, in partnership with the Department of National Defence, entitled "Military Art Now" The First Ten Years (2001-2011) of the Canadian Forces Artists Program. The symposium featured artists and representatives of the Canadian Forces Artists Program giving informal presentations about the work they did related to the Canadian Forces Artists Program (CFAP).
In this video, Karole Marois speaks about her experiences with CFAP and the works she created.
Acquisition by the City of Apeldoorn
Together Side by Side was exhibited in the Netherlands during the Liberation Festival in 2011. Since its acquisition by the City of Apeldoorn in 2012, it remains permanently displayed in the City Hall of Apeldoorn in the Netherlands.
The exhibition and purchase of Together Side by Side was made possible thanks to the generous support of the City of Apeldoorn, Dave Frere, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canadian Forces Artist Program.

Have you had a great experience with Bethesda International Academy and would like to share your story?
Submit a Testimonial
"My daughter is in the preschool program at Bethesda International Academy. Bethesda has truly been a gift to our family. I cannot express enough how happy we are there. The school has a small, nurturing, family-like environment. It warms my heart to see the older students interacting positively with the younger students and vice versa. The class sizes are small so students receive highly personalized attention. My daughter's teacher is phenomenal. She is such a kind, nurturing, and enthusiastic educator. She creates a play-based, child-centered, exploratory classroom. My daughter has learned through sensory-motor activities such as; painting to music, growing plants, and using interesting materials for physics experiments! Her teacher creates a wonderful rapport with parents, working with us to enhance our child's strengths and finding solutions for her challenges. In addition, Bethesda is incredibly diverse both racially and culturally which has made for a wonderful experience for our family. I highly recommend Bethesda to any prospective family." -Julie A.
"Bethesda has been like our second family. Both of our boys have had their education here. Love the small classroom size as we feel the kids get the extra attention. The teachers go above and beyond and are always available to help. Highly recommend and know that children educated here will flourish!" -Loula E.
"Bethesda International Academy has been a second home for my 2 children. They both began with the Pre K program, my oldest graduated with honors and went on to receive a full scholarship from a well known high school. My youngest is in 7th grade and she is thriving. Bethesda has a tremendous focus on developing successful students/leaders. I highly recommend BIA." -Judith A.

Freeholder Rob Hermansen won the backing of the Bergen County Republican Organization (BCRO) tonight.
He will have the line with Peg Watkins.
The victory represented one each from a divided party, with members usually denying publicly but siding behind the scenes with either Bergen County Executive Kathe Donovan or BCRO Chairman Bob Yudin.
Watkins campaigned for the party's support with attorney John Ginty. Sources say the team had Yudin's tacit backing. Hermansen roughly had the Donovan wing of the party.
The two came together tonight.
The breakdown:
Hermansen: 511
Watkins: 441
Ginty: 341
Goetz: 196
In defeating his fierce foe, Yudin, Hermansen called for unity as he faces re-election against Democrats energized by countywide wins last year.
"I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you," Hermansen told the crowd of GOP committee members. "The process is alive and well. Thank you for doing a big favor for me. These last two weeks were very hard for me. I don't even think my wife knows what I look like right now."
The incumbent freeholder thanked the BCRO.
"Today starts a new day," Hermansen said. "I'm going to tell you right now, today, tonight, water is under the bridge. We need to be together, all of us. Those who were making calls against, those making calls for, today we need to join together. I am ready to offer an olive branch to anyone from the other side who didn't want me to win. I promise you I will bust my tail."
Hermansen beckoned Yudin and state Sen. Gerald Cardinale, (R-39), Demarest, to be the first to sign the petitions for freeholder with himself and his running mate, Watkins.
"Democracy at work," said Yudin.
A strong Yudin supporter, the veteran Cardinale stood by the chairman tonight while applauding the results as a win for the GOP.
He said of course he planned to sign the petitions.
"It's not unusual to have a spirited campaign," Cardinale said. "We now have two candidates and we have a lot of energy. Now we have to focus it."
He said the wounded Yudin deserves praise.
"We faced an eviction from this building where we now stand before Bob Yudin." said the senator. "We faced debt. He raised money for our successful campaigns that enabled us to successfully get our message to the public."

Thermal Conversion Process Converts Waste To Oil And Gas
Imagine if you could take waste products like sewage, tires, plastics, municipal garbage, animal and agricultural waste, and turn it into a light Texas crude oil, natural gas, fertilizer, carbon and sterilized water. Imagine that;
The process supplies it's own energy and is 85% efficient.
It supplies a renewable source of energy.
It does no harm to the environment and actually solves environmental problems faced by many municipalities and industries .
It is estimated that conversion of agricultural waste could produce four billion barrels of oil a year.
This is a technology that is available right now.
The Thermal Conversion Process (TCP), is a patented process invented by Changing World Technologies. It is based on thermal depolymerization, the same process that the Earth uses to create crude oil.
Changing World Technologies in a joint venture with ConAgra Foods, has formed a new company called, Renewable Environmental Solutions. The processing plant located in Carthage, Missouri, uses TCP to dispose of agricultural waste material. The plant, when running at full capacity will dispose of 200 tons of agricultural waste and produce 500 barrels of oil a day.
Discover Magazine has a good article on the process and the company.
The United States could become energy self sufficient if this technology was applied across the nation. The process takes waste that poses an environmental challenge to dispose of and converts it to energy. To me, this is a win win process all the way around.
I sure hope it doesn't get ignored.
jkOnTheRun Takes PowerPoint To A New Level With A Tablet PC
JKOTR uses the power of the Tablet OS for an engaging PowerPoint presentation.
"I started annotating the slides to point out the particulars I felt were important, adding notes as we went and drawing attention to points of interest by circling them with the pen.? This turned a static slideshow into an interactive session and I quickly drew the small audience in."
The power of the Tablet PC turned the presentation into a sale. Good read?.

I have completely changed the blog to prevent spammers from filling comment fields with garbage. You will notice a thing called "Captcha" at the bottom of a comment form. This prevents automated spammer bots from spamming the comments.
I think that this is a better alternative than closing comments or requiring registration to post.

text: Share: Comments Print January 2, 2014 at 2:46 PM Seattle's Spits and Wimps keep it short, snotty | Concert preview Posted by Charlie Zaillian The Spits headline Chop Suey Friday. Photo by Kealan Shilling. If your New Year's Eve disappointed — or you're looking to continue partying into the weekend — consider The Spits and Wimps at Chop Suey for your Friday entertainment. Characterized by an oddball sense of humor and an appetite for substance-fueled hijinks, the Seattle-via-Michigan foursome, led by brothers Sean and Erin Wood, has been an underground favorite since the 1990s, releasing a half-dozen albums' worth of mutant New Wave noise-punk — like a synth-driven Ramones, or perhaps a distorted Devo. Always a welcome break from the folded-armed status quo, Spits hometown shows are theatrical affairs at which costumes, fireworks and Pabst Blue Ribbon cans-as-projectiles are to be expected — and coming from a band whose signature song, 2002's "Let Us Play Your Party," (listen) features couplets like "when we're puking on the rug / you're gonna wanna be pulling the plug," unwholesome revelry is for certain. Arrive early for Wimps, whose 2013 debut "Repeat" (listen) was one of the year's better local releases — a winning mix of wiry post-punk energy and B-52's-like co-ed dual vocals. The Spits, Wimps, Sex Crime 9 p.m. Friday at Chop Suey, 1325 E. Madison St., Seattle; $8-10 (206-324-8005 or chopsuey.com) Comments | More in Rock/Pop | Topics: Chop Suey, punk, Seattle

Rabi (Soham) is a lumpen, who has appeared in higher secondary four times but has not passed. He only roams around with his friends, teases girls and gets drunk at night. One day Riya (Payel) comes with her family to live in Rabi's colony. Riya's father (Biswajit Chakraborty) and mother (Laboni Sarkar) wants her to get married with their family friend's son Rajiv, because Rajiv provides financial support to their poor family. Rabi gradually falls in love with Riya and tries to convince her, when Rajiv comes to know about this he sends goons to beat him. But slowly Riya also feels her love for Rabi and motivates him to study and get a job. But Rabi again fails in Higher Secondary examination. This time angry Riya comes to know from Rabi's friend that he is a motorbike repairing expert and she gets him a job at a bike-showroom. When Riya's mother comes to know about her daughter's love life, she tells her to discontinue her relation with Rabi and to get married with Rajiv as soon as possible. Rajiv arranges a new house to separate the love birds. After shifting, Riya somehow arranges to meet Rabi at one night and spends the night with him.

One can safely bathe a three week old puppy, but most puppies do not require a bath. Usually, a pup's mother will clean the puppy. A puppy can always just be cleaned with a warm, wet washcloth.
Puppies have natural oils on their skin. This keeps their skin clean, healthy and moisturized. When a puppy is bathed, they lose these essential oils. Most shampoos are made for dogs three months and older and are not appropriate for puppies. When bathing a puppy, keep them warm by using warm water, warm towels and a blow dryer. Certain breeds need to get used to the bathing process at an early age.

Dark And Modern Waterfront Villa Ypenburg III
Located in The Hague, Netherlands, this next residence stands out from across the scenery in a successful attempt to enhance its natural surroundings and offer passers-by an incredible display of contemporary architecture. Flaunting its dark facade, Villa Ypenburg III rises three storeys up and shelters large, bright spaces that contrast with its exterior. Designed by Rotterdam-based BBVH Architecture, in collaboration with bbX as contractors and Willson Real Estate as developers, the modern house sits at the edge of one of the canals. The large waterfront villa is located in the Ypenburg district of the city – hence the name. Photographed by by Luuk Kramer, the exceptional villa in the Netherlands seems to not only offer modern architecture details, but also gathers unobstructed views of the surroundings. The horizontal appeal of this magnificent urban villa is given by large cantilevering terraces on all three floors. Fascinating, isn't it?
