The Garden Chronicles
Jill says that this year's garden has been the most productive ever. Judging from the volume of produce that has all of a sudden materialized I am inclined to believe her.
Further evidence is I am about maxed-out on freezer space and have exhausted my inventory of quart canning jars.
How to Make Crispy, Crunchy, Sweet Pickles
Last summer I went on a tour of a lighthouse and happened upon an itemization of the perks that the US Congress alloted keepers employed by the Light House Service back in the 1800's. Aside from lodging there was an annual salary of $600. There were also consumable provisions including sacks of potatoes and onions. A barrel of salted pork, sacks of flour, dried beans, sugar and salt. Coffee, tea - and of all things - barrels of vinegar.
Which reminds me - what do you call a cat that drinks vinegar?

The Garden Chronicles - The Tomato Avalanche
I was reading the news over at The Mothership yesterday and noticed that there was coverage of the 5th Annual Tomato Romp, Tomato Fight and Best Bloody Mary competition on Saturday.
What a profligate waste of tomatoes.
Blogging About The Blog
I had some email back-and-forth earlier this week with the person in charge of the NOW homepages. Seems that ever since The Mothership performed their 'update' of the community web pages there have been issues. As is the result of all great bureaucratic updates lots of things didn't work anymore.
For instance - if you had previously bookmarked any of the blogs on your smart phone and clicked on the link you would automatically be redirected to JSOnline.mobi. That's all well and good but I already have a link for this and a few of my 80-odd readers that use wireless devices like an iPhone, Droid or Blackberry found it annoying. And they sent me annoying emails to that effect.

A Burgeoning Pantry
The tomatoes never end. Pick them, pack some, eat them every day, take some to the day job, drop a big box-full at the food pantry every week, turn-around and there's more! It's almost biblical in scale. Old Testament tomatoes are like a plague. New Testament tomatoes are like the loaves and fishes. They're the gift that keeps on giving.
Kittens In the Bullpen
How about those Brewers?
I consider myself blessed this year. Every game I've attended has ended in a Brewer's win. Furthermore, while attending the Dodgers game last month I witnessed up-close and personal a real, live triple play. First time in my life. How cool is that? With only six plays like that in franchise history I may be looking at a lengthy dry spell before I witness another.

For each of the datasets provided online, we have sought to ensure the highest standard of botanical accuracy in naming, and consistency of treatment. The RHS Plant Finder forms the core of our work on nomenclature, and we are assisted by an advisory panel of experts.
Find out more about botanical names
Common ("vernacular") names cited in the database are largely based upon the work of Charles Brooker, compiled in the 1970s and presented to the Society. They are primarily in English, and most comprehensively cover usage in the United Kingdom. This has been an invaluable reference over the years for the Society's Botanists, and is supplemented with names found in standard references, or encountered in our Advisory work.
Find out more about common names
Updated annually in book form (in spring), the RHS Plant Finder has become a standard reference to correct naming of cultivated plants. This publication is a subset of the RHS Horticultural Database; linking the information in this way enables us to synchronise the wider research on names undertaken at Wisley with the book. The Online version of the RHS Plant Finder will present a slightly more up-to-date perspective on naming than the book as the year progresses.
The Award relates to the full range of plants cultivated in the United Kingdom, and is currently the richest source of information on vegetables in the RHS Horticultural Database. The Award Plants Database can be searched separately by category for those wishing to identify a range of superior plants for their garden.
The RHS Horticultural Database has been used to catalogue the collections at Wisley since 1993, and provides a reasonably comprehensive list of plants there. Cataloguing at Rosemoor has started much more recently, and only parts of the collection have been covered. The collections at Hyde Hall and Harlow Carr will gradually be incorporated from 2002.
Acknowledgements: we are grateful to the staff of the Plant Records Offices at Wisley and Rosemoor, who have been responsible for collating and entering this information since 1993, when the first plant records were transferred from card index to computer at Wisley.
Starting in earnest in 1999, the collection of Standard Specimens has been entirely catalogued in the RHS Horticultural Database.

high jump history questions
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.
high jump history questions
I'm collecting video material about the high jump to teach athletes and coaches a little bit of history (mostly olympic events). I have found a lot on youtube, but not everything.
Is there somebody who has high jump footage of the 1924 olympics?
Tnx in advance!

Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
I've downloaded this myself on YOUTUBE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxwqGa1u ... e=youtu.be
there are some footage from the 1924 Olympics from 1:07
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
Just watched this interesting video -- thanks for posting it. I know little of the history of HJ, and nothing of the history of technique. Here's one small question that I hope a real afficionado of the history of the HJ can answer: In the clips here from the '36 OG (about 3:15 into the video), there's a glimpse of one of the USA jumpers making an attempt, and it looks like there is a small bit of cloth draped over the bar. Assuming I'm seeing this right, what's the purpose of that bit of cloth?
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
Yes, It is great! Why don't more HJ'ers run straight at the bar instead of curving so much. I would think more speed would translate into a higher jump with a straighter line. Actually Fosbury was fairly straight and but not as much as Morgenburg. Why don't more HJ'ers take this approach?
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
It's a excellent video, only too bad that the commentary is so bad and borderline ridiculous at times. The Eastern Cutoff technique is called a "judo kick' and the word straddle is never used.
Interesting to see Albritton's straddle jump in 1936. He was likely the first straddler.
It would not be possible to achieve a close to vertical take-off in the Flop with a fast, straight run-up. High jumpers don't use an equally sharp curve in their run-ups but they all use a curve, including Mogenburg.
Leif, Thanks for posting this video
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
After watching most again, Moganbourg did have a straighter line than any, IMHO. Although almost all used a much straighter line at the bar than HS'ers, which I'm more used to watching.
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
What a fabulous video (crap commentary aside), thanks for posting it!
I'd also like to know what that cloth is doing on the bar. And, how about the guy doing a standing flop in 1905? I've never seen that before and can only imagine the state of his back after landing in a sandpit numerous times.
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
I've seen other photos with cloth hanging from the crossbar.
Could be a visual marker if the crossbar was tough to see against the background field?
Or maybe a target marker for the place the jumper wants to clear?
Or even a stablizing weight to off-set a wobbly bar motion?
Old-timey balsa wood bars used to shimmy all over the place in the slightest breeze.
Gotta ask Lonewolf, the oldest and best all-around athlete who frequents this place!
As for the video, I really enjoyed the completely random background music!
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
Yes, both of those. When I was a kid I saw it all the time. Sometimes hard to see the bar against light background.
About the video. According to HJ history George Horine was the inventor of the Western Roll but in the glimpses from the 1912 Games it's clear that the winner, Alma Richards, also jumped in a Western Roll fashion, Taking off on the inside foot and a more or less side clearance. Both Horine and Richards can be seen in the video. But there were also others who where shown jumping with a similar technique. So maybe the the answer to the question of who was first to use that technique is not so clear.
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
Paw, thanks for posting this video. It is exactly what I was looking for! Great!
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
I will stipulate to being the (probably) oldest ex-jock frequenting this forum but modesty and reality precludes pretending to the latter accolade.
Hanky on the cross-bar precedes my personal experience but I had heard of it and was prompted to research it. Apparently it was common practice as a visual "aiming point" in late 19th Century (when the HJ record was 5-6 to 5-9) and the jumpers were landing on spaded ground or on a "well placed mattress".
Humorously, my HS HJ facility was apparently modeled on the design recommended in an 1864 Athletics Manual:.... vertical standards, eight feet apart with holes drilled at 1" intervals on reverse side, centered on an approximately 6' x 6' plot of spaded ground. We used a bamboo bar. Our aiming point, obviously, was the inevitable lowest point in the sag.
Officials at the turn of the century complained that the incessant re-positioning of the cloth and mattress to accomodate the various styles of the jumpers, although "not refusable by a courteous judge", was causing interminable delays in competition.
I cannot find specific mention of this practice in any rule book but I would not allow it under the rule forbidding any mark within two meters of the bar. Failing that, I would fall back on my precedent of refusing to allow a jumper to use starting blocks on the long jump runway. .. it may not be in the rules but it ain't gonna happen.
Visibility was also a factor. As recently as 1948 OT Alice Coachman tied a white hankerchief to the cross bar for her winning jump in the fading light of the unlit LA Colesium.
Re: high jump history questions
There is a lot more to learn about the history of high jump, so I have changed the subject of this thread. I hope that's ok?
I'm writing an article about the history of modern high jump and I have just finished the 1936 Olympics (tnx for the tip Per Andersen on the straddle version of Allbritton!).
Now I'm looking into the period between 1936 and 1952. But, strangely, or maybe I just did not search well enough, I can't find a lot of information about this period.
Did the second world war had a huge negative effect on track and field and the high jump?
Melvin Walker and Lester Steers both had the world record in their possession. Of the latter I can find some information, but not a lot. The first... nothing.
And does somebody know if there is video footage of one of these athletes?
And who are other great high jumpers of this period?
Re: high jump history questions
Per is your man!
I'd still like to know more about that guy doing standing flops into a sandpit in 1905 - unless he ended up a quadriplegic
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
Wow! You are on uploading mode, Leif Bugge! This is some great footage you have there!

Re: high jump history questions
Can't wait!
Re: high jump history questions
Really. The proto-Fosbury, for real.
Re: high jump history questions
here are some footage of Melvin Walker:
1938 AAU Buffalo 3/7– 100m-BenJohnson 10.7-HJ Mel Walker 2.007 – LJ Bill Lacefield 7.62 – 110mHH Wolcott 14.3, Allan Tolmich - PV Warmerdam 4.40-Cunningham 3:52,5-Charles Fenske 3.52.6 .
to nielsalofsen:
I've send you a message about Les Steers!
Re: video material 1924 high jump olympics
This was awesome. Thanx for letting us see it
Re: high jump history questions
The video from the 1938 AAU in Buffalo is excellent.
It's the only video or picture I have seen of Mel Walker. He was supposed to be a straddler, at least on high heights. But this jump looks like a cross between the Western Roll and the straddle. Very ineffective technique in that jump. Upper body sky high over, no real lay-out+ he's landing almost on his feet. It leads me to think he is jumping on a lower height. Don't know how tall he was.
Walker had a tremendous year in '37 with 2 WRs ending up with 2.09 in Sweden. The next great record year was 1941 when William Stewart jumped 2.09,2 and Steers jumped 2.10 on the same day in Seattle. Steers final WR was 6-11 (2.10.8) later in '41. After 1941 the standard in the HJ declined for many years until about 1952. The US dominance continued after the war despite a bad year in 1948. The Olympics in London was the last time medallists used the Eastern Cut-off with the gold and silver medalists, John Winter of Australia and Bjørn Paulson of Norway jumping Eastern. Bronze medallist, the multi talented (basket ball & Baseball) 19 year old American George Stanich used the straddle. The highest mark with the "Eastern" was Finland's Kalevi Kotkas's, 2.04 from 1936. That result was a Euro record until 1954.
The last medallists using the Western Roll in the Olympics were Walt (Buddy) Davis and da Conceicao of Brazil in 1952, gold and bronze. Ken Wiesner of the US, another exellent jumper of that era took the silver using the straddle. Davis beat Steers's WR the following year clearing 2.12.2 (6-11 1/2) at the AAU in Dayton. That was pretty much it for the Western Roll, with a few exceptions. After that the straddle reigned supreme until Fosbury in 1968.
During the 1938-1941 2 of the most interesting jumpers for me were Les Steers and Gilbert Cruter. Cruter jumped 2.05 in 1938 but he jumped in a dive straddle fashion with his head and upper body leading over the bar, bent lead knee and landing on his hands. He was one of the top Americans but his technique did not catch on in the states.
Steers used a faster run-up than any roller or straddler before him. (the run-up in the Eastern was generally much faster than the roll or straddle run-up).
Steers also jumped in practice more than anybody and according to Ken Doherty in the "Track & Field Omnibook" he also jumped twice a day, taking 20-30 jumps on meet days. There was no strength training in those days but Steers sought to gain strength by jumping repeatedly on higher heights. After Steers the leading jumpers again reverted to the slower run-up. Shelton, top jumper in 1954-55 used a slow run-up and Charles Dumas slowed the run even more, almost walking in the run-up before accelerating sharply in the last 3 steps. John Thomas speeded it up a bit.

Re: high jump history questions
However, Swedish legendary coach Gosta Holmer had paid close attention to Cruter's dive straddle. In his book, "Vagen til Rekorden" (the Way to the Record) from 1942-43 he has photo series of both Steers and Cruter. He describes Cruter's jump and comments that the dive straddle with a faster run is the correct way to high jump. In Swedish the term for the straddle is "dykk stil" (diving style). The top Swedish dive straddlers of the early and mid 50's, Bengt Nilsson, Euro record 2.11 in 1954 and #2 in the world in 54 and '55 + Richard Dahl, 2.12 in 1958 were both dive straddlers with a long, fast run-ups. They also used a double arm lift in the take-off striving to stem the forward motion of the body.
This was the technique the Soviets adopted and improved upon with added strength and and weight training. The Soviets speeded up the run even more. Both Stepanov and Kashkarov were fast dive straddlers. Brumel was faster than any straddler until then. However, Yashchenko "WR", 2.35 with the straddle was even faster.
Re: high jump history questions
Great stuff Per, it's always a pleasure reading your descriptions of the event's development. I'm not sure everyone appreciates how fantastic it was to clear bars up to 2.11m using the old techniques, on cinders, and into sandpits.
Re: high jump history questions
Totally agree, this is great stuff.
As for your last line, some of us here definitely DO appreciate these early achievements. I was lousy, but I was part of the generation that jumped off of grass and dirt surfaces, into sandpits (literally: in a few cases, the HJ standards were simply placed alongside the long jump pit!), mounds of dirt, and (finally) big net bags of square chunks of foam.
Re: high jump history questions
As great as Walker's 1937 was on marks (best six of 2.09, 2.09, 2.076i, 2.064, 2.04, 2.04), he was inconsistent, particularly in the most important meets.
He beat Ohio State teammate Dave Albritton, 7-5-1, but here are the results of their three most important meets in the U.S.:
NCAA, Albritton & Cruter 1.988/6-6 1/4), 3. Delos Thurber 1.988/6-6 1/4, 4. Walker 1.937/6-4 1/4.
AAU, Albritton 2.048/6-8 5/8 MR; 2. Walker & Corny Johnson 1.997/6-6 5/8.
PanAmG, Albritton 2.007/6-7; 2. Johnson 2.007/6-7; 3. Walker 1.981/6-6.
The biggest U.S. meets in which Walker defeated Albritton were the Big10-PCC dual, the outdoor and indoor Big10s and the Millrose and Chicago indoor meets. The two didn't meet overseas as Walker jumped in the Nordic countries while Albritton went to Japan.
It's a tough decision as to which would rank #1 in the world as reasonable cases can be made in both directions.
Re: high jump history questions
As someone mentioned a few years ago, kuha and I were probably separated at birth, particularly now that I find out he too was a HJ'er !
His description of sand pits, dirt takeoffs, etc. is right on the mark. From age 15 in 1958 to age 22 in 1965 I competed through the total makeover of pits and takeoffs, from sand to foam rubber, and dirt to "all-weather."
Re: high jump history questions
RE: lonewolf's description of saggy crossbars and of odd widths for landing pits.
In 1965 I watched my Santa Ana JC teammate Ed Caruthers set a new national JC record - seven-one and some fraction - at Cerritos College. But the mark was never ratified because it was found that standards were placed too far apart to comport with the rules (which I assume was intended to prevent too much saggy-ness.) Thus, Joe Faust's national JC record persisted for another few years.
Interesting, too, that Steers and Faust both seemed to jump an awful lot in practice. As a HS kid I read a long magazine article (was it in Sport mag?) about Faust, who was semi-famous at the time as the youngest jumper ever to clear 7 feet and as an all-around whacky character. Anyway, the article described how Faust would have marathon workouts wherein his goal was to clear 6'6" fifty times without missing. Somehow he had decided that if he could do that then he should be able to jump 7'6" once (the logic of this equation was never clear to me, nor probably anyone else beyond Joe Faust.)
Re: high jump history questions
the jumper's equivalent of LSD (long slow distance)?
Re: high jump history questions
Yeah, the logic is the same: Practice jumping/running at low/slow levels of ht./pace and expect to jump/run much higher/faster in a competition... I could never quite grasp the rationale.
Re: high jump history questions
Yes. Lots of practice jumps definitely increased strength, but the danger was that repetition would encourage bad (or lazy) habits rather than the best ones. And, pretty obviously, repeatedly clearing a bar 6" (or whatever) below your best did nothing for the massive psychological barrier of PR-type heights.
Re: high jump history questions
I was looking through the Penn Relays historical gallery link on the front page and came across this from the 1910 high jump- exactly what style was this guy using? Oh, and note the hanky tied to the bar.

Re: high jump history questions
It's possible he's using the now ancient Eastern Roll[(Corr, per Per below, Cut Off, which I misstated thinking of Western Roll, a "tuck"], where you end up a bit like PV as your body turns around. However, that Right Arm cocked at the hip is reminiscent of Ernie Shelton's classic Straddle: I picked up that nuance from one of the old Loops TFN sold in the 50s. It keeps the torso turning. Were this the case, it would've been a right leg takeoff, from the right side; that is, from the "inside" leg, as opposed to the outside leg TO currently employed.
As for the speculation above, from much earlier, that they would've spaced the Standards wider to counteract bar sag: It's the opposite! Think about it: the more unsupported weight (of the bar) the more it sags. Now that I think of it, a turning style like the Eastern Roll could take advantage of sag in the middle, as the body need not stretch out full length.

Re: high jump history questions
It seems like a rather ragged version of the Eastern cut-off. He is jumping away from us.
As Jackaloupe says it can almost remind one of a Pole Vault clearance. But it would not have looked like that had we seen him earlier in the jump. In the photo he is just about clear of the bar.
Re: high jump history questions
Stumbled on this tonight, a fabulous sequence of stills showing Bob Avant jumping somewhere with an LA Striders singlet. Anyone who curious about Avant's unique (but, I think, probably very efficient) technique will want to see this.
You can see why people who saw Avant jump have such a difficult time describing what he was doing. But you can also see that with the bent-leg dive-straddle he was able to get off the ground very quickly off a very fast run-up. The mystery to me was always how Avant got his lead leg toe over the bar; it seems from these pix that he did it by that seemingly life threatening straight down, head toward the sawdust dive.
Found on a site called Trove which is part of the National LIbrary of Australia. Lots of cool stuff there... including links to the University of Oregon Library where the link above is located and the really cool one of Les Steers below:
Re: high jump history questions
I think the Avant sequence is from the 1961 AAU, where Avant became the first American to beat John Thomas with a 7 ft jump [they both cleared 7'0"]
Re: high jump history questions
I think you are right... I was there that day at age 18, and went home and started practicing his technique !
Re: high jump history questions
The 1961 sequence of Avant appeared in Sports Illustrated. Their coverage of the 1961 AAU meet was up there with their coverage of the 1959 USA - USSR meet. Ah nostalgia!
Re: high jump history questions
I don't believe I've seen that sequence of Avant before. What a strange technique, what on earth was it called? It looks like an incredibly athletic feat.
Re: high jump history questions
Looks dangerous as hell. Landing head first into a sand box?
Re: high jump history questions
Hands ahead of the head broke the fall for him.
Re: high jump history questions
Yea, I guess so. Break an arm instead of your neck. I sure wouldn't want to do that on a regular basis. Or even worse coaching someone who did.
Re: high jump history questions
I was thinking the same. I wouldn't want to be heading straight down into a sand box from that height on any part of my body (apart from my feet).

I was born in a small town of in the heart of the finger lakes region. I'm not sure when I became interested in art. I started painting with water colors and Acrylics while I was in Canada for a while during the Viet Nam war. I became serious about art a short while after my tour of duty in Viet Nam. while I was getting a degree in Computer Science.
Today all of my art is done on a computer using various programs and techniques. My works tend to be eclectic , from straight unmodified photographs, to digitally painted 'mindscapes' . I like to have fun and experiment with different methods and tools. My goal is to evoke some response in the viewer, doesn't matter to me what the response is. The worst insult you can give me is to be indifferent to my work.
I have works in private collections throughout the world.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.

Semi-automatic vs. fully automatic is not just semantics, it's a major mechanical and legal distinction. Fully automatic are illegal for the common person to purchase and you might want to watch the video below for a better understanding.

2013 Cudahy Spring Elections Candidates
Information provided by City of Cudahy (Carolyn Toms-Neary)
All About My Current Opponent!
For the last three weeks I have been battling what some days feels like the flu and other days a chest cold.
We Need To Remember The Past
This was just two years ago! Have things gotten better?
So Again Cudahy Loses Another Business - Dunham's Sports at Packard Plaza
Thank you Dan Vnuk for letting people know about this!
Yes City Officials Play a Big Role in Development Especially the Mayor!
Mayors are to be the biggest cheerleader for the city.
One of Cudahy's Problems
The Cudahy Wal-Mart battle showed exactly why Cudahy is/has been on a downslope – NIMBY
John Hohenfeldt for Cudahy Mayor 2013
I would like to thank the Cudahy residents who gave me a few minutes of their time as we met at your door during the December holiday season as I kicked off my campaign for Mayor. I have listened closely to your concerns for our city, which I share with you.
Election Questions From a Reader
Hi, Randy -
Cudahy Election Rumors
Well folks there are some rumors floating around and as you know I will air them out and see what happens.
Under Mayor Day, Cudahy is Not Focused on Development
Cudahy's Economic Development Director Brian Biernat is looking for an assistant at $40k plus benefits to make up for the work he cannot do given his focus is on inspection.
Linda Kutka for re-election of School Board Director
Dear citizens of Cudahy,
Let's All Take A Look - Cudahy Public Works Minutes In Question
Is Cudahy Going To Lose Another Business Soon - Datastore?
We will have to wait and find out if Iron Mountain is going to keep the Cudahy Datastore open.
A Reader Brought This City Website Flaw To Our Attention
Well I have talked about the City of Cudahy's Economic Development website and how out of date it was. Basically untouched since Lara Fritts left in 2010.
Let's Talk Fluoride
So instead of rehashing some old 1950's or 1960's info, what info is more current and relative?
As Cudahy District 3 Alderman
As Alderman for the 3rd District of Cudahy I will be pushing that Cudahy's Economic Development Director Brian Biernat comes to one Common Council meeting a month and explain in meeting and during the open session what is going on.
An Open Letter to the Soon to Be Elected Cudahy Mayor
Dear soon to be elected Mayor,
Let's Pose a Few Questions
So retired Cudahy DPW personnel, Mike Clark, who is running for Alderman in the Cudahy 5th District race stated this:
I am All For A Referendum On Same-Day Registration
So the Milwaukee Common Council approves a referendum on same-day voter registration.
Oh Look Here Is Some Development In Cudahy - Well Maybe!
So another "Condo" project is being proposed for Cudahy. This must be some of the Earth shattering Kaboom development we were promised!
Today My Son Ryan Would Have Been 8 Years Old
It is a sad day in my life and for my family.
Missing Milwaukee's Acapulco Restaurant? Then Try Senor Loco's
One of my favorite Mexican restaurants was Acapulco Restaurant on 6th and National in Milwaukee. The owner (Donna) was a family friend. She sold the restaurant and bar. Then a few months later a fire happen and part of the building was deemed unsafe and had to be torn down.
Let's Talk Spelling and Grammar!
I'm the first here to admit that I've made mistakes, and it's been incumbent on me to take responsibility to shoulder that burden, make the necessary changes, and move on.
Our Voice Was Heard!
Okay people, Mayor Day is finally talking publicly about Packard Plaza! The constant pressures we have placed on him and Brian Biernat have got them interested in the situation there.
Blogging and Being a Cudahy Alderman
If you hear Mayor Day or his assistant Carolyn Toms-Neary talk about my blog it is NOT true. I have been approached by a few people that told me they are telling people my blog must go once I am elected alderman and this is NOT so!
Now Everyone Is In Cudahy District 3
I find it funny that all these people who have been against me and commenting on the blog for the longest time are suddenly claiming they are in my district and suddenly they claim their minds are made up that I am a hot head and they are now NOT going to vote for me and they are talking to their neighbors about me!
Did Anyone From Cudahy Attend This Business Symposium?
I shudder to ask if anyone in Cudahy Economic Development, the Mayor or if anyone from the City attended or even knew about this.

The Global Kaffiyya Craze
A paper presented by Ted Swedenburg, Professor of Anthropology, University of Arkansas. Part of the one-day conference "How East Meets West Today: Economies and Cultures of the Middle East in a Global Era."
Published: Tuesday, February 23, 2010
By tradition, and especially after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Middle East is portrayed as distinct and apart from the rest of the world, especially the West. But the region is more closely tied to the world than ever before: What happens there affects what happens here, and vice versa. This is most obvious in the domain of war and peace, but it is also true on the level of economics and culture. This one-day conference will consider the interconnectedness of the Middle East with the rest of the world, and particularly the West, in the context of globalization and global crisis in the 21st century.

Explore Undiscovered Food, Fashion & Fun.
Don't get us wrong: We love melted butter and gravy mixed with a spoonful of mashed potatoes and toasted marshmallows garnished with a bit of yams as much as the next American.
But this Thanksgiving we have healthier options, thanks to brothers Eli and Max Sussman, New York-based chefs and authors of the recently published This Is a Cookbook.
In today's videos, they show us two easy, inexpensive, no-stretchy-pants-necessary recipes: sauteed kale with almonds and raisins (above) and roasted cauliflower with caramelized onions.
It's possible we ate enough of the vegan-friendly dishes during the shoot to constitute three meals.
But that still beats French's fried onion rings plus or minus the green beans.
This Is a Cookbook is available at amazon.com or itunes.com (iPad version), $13.
According to a wise woman named Beyoncé, if you like it, then you should've put a ring on it. But does Dan agree? In this Ask the Office Guy, one reader wonders if she should call it quits after seven years in a relationship.

Thanks for a great week, weather. We especially appreciate the frizzy hair, inside-out umbrella, and near-constant inability to catch a cab.
But we have something to make it all better: a fish taco tutorial with handsome chef Sam Talbot. (And, yes, he really is as much of a feast for the eyes as his food is for the belly.)
Talbot, who was a Top Chef semifinalist, is now head chef at Imperial No. Nine. He spent years perfecting his recipe — from cooking the halibut just right to making sure it doesn't fall out of the tortilla. ("My friends would give me a really hard time for that.") He even gave us the recipe for the relish he uses.
In today's video, he cooks on a flattop grill, or plancha, but the instructions carry over to an outdoor charcoal or gas grill, should you have a Memorial Day cookout.
Or cook-in, as the case may be.
Hungry for more? Watch Daniel Boulud cook the perfect stove-top burger and Tamara Reynolds whip up four delicious picnic recipes. And check out Talbot's quick list of must-have grilling tools.
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain. But here in our office, it's nothing but sunshine on the second floor.
That's because British singer/songwriter Eliza Doolittle — who took the name from Audrey Hepburn's My Fair Lady character of yore — performed her cheerful new song, "Moneybox," on our couch for today's video. Her unbelievable voice, accompanied by only a guitarist, had even our tech guys swaying.
Doolittle just released her eponymous album in the U.S. and was the talk of Coachella. She also has a fashion sense we can appreciate (as soon as she walked in, she zeroed in on the picture of Suno x Loeffler Randall sandals we'd pasted on the wall).
Isn't she loverly?
Buy Doolittle's latest album online at amazon.com. To keep listening, go to her Myspace page. For more music, check out our videos with Christina Courtin, Regina Spektor, and Freelance Whales.
In a recent dream, you were drinking tea on a cloud with NeNe Leakes when half unicorn/half David Schwimmer came over to ask for your digits.
We can't make this glorious dream come true, but Brooklyn-based artist Aurora Andrews can immortalize it — or anything else — in one of her ink/watercolor illustrations.
The charming Andrews, who never goes anywhere without pen and paper, is now accepting commissions. Describe a vivid dream (as mentioned), submit a picture of a favorite thing, or pose for her, as some DailyCandy staffers did in today's video.
Illustrations start at around $200 and increase in price based on difficulty and size. But your lasting keepsake will stand out in a way 487 Facebook pics never could.
And that's what dreams are made of.
To see more artwork, go to auroraandrews.com. To contact Andrews, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Snail mail should be ashamed: It seems millions of invites to the royal wedding were lost (ours included).
But that doesn't mean we can't indulge like royalty on Friday. Thanks to the recipe given to us in today's video by the lovely/crazy Brits at NYC's Tea & Sympathy restaurant, we'll be devouring Prince Will's beloved no-bake chocolate biscuit cake.
The directions are so easy it's no wonder Will's taken heat for the dessert being a little lowbrow for the occasion. But one bite and you'll get it: Imagine a souped-up Rice Krispies treat made with graham crackers (a suitable substitute for the traditional digestives the Brits use), condensed milk, and good chocolate.
Which we cordially invite you to get all over your face.
Want something else to serve at your wedding-watching party? Try Marmite soldiers (sure to polarize guests). You'll also need to wear a fancy DIY headpiece. For more information on Tea & Sympathy, go to teaandsympathynewyork.com.
The mere mention of Marmite sends people into a tizzy (whether it's one of love or disgust is up to the individual). In this video, Tea & Sympathy's charming British owner, Nicky Perry, shows how she likes to eat the salty goo. For more information on Tea & Sympathy, go to teaandsympathynewyork.com.
Hey, have you heard? Prince Will and Kate Middleton are getting married! It's crazy how no one is talking about it.
Clearly, we jest. We're as obsessed with the royals as the next palatial interloper. In today's video, we team up with NYC-based milliner and all-around cool lady Eugenia Kim to craft a beautiful headpiece (perfect for 5 a.m. viewing parties).
You can buy all the supplies at any craft store for about $20. Feel free to use your favorite colors, fake flowers, and feathers — or even sub a headband for the clip.
We also asked Kim for her take on a Kentucky Derby hat. All you need is your favorite silk scarf, scissors, and a wide-brim straw hat. Don't have the latter? We just bought one on the street in Soho for $15.
No joke.
Too scared to DIY? Check out our Roundup of 62 headpieces that make us swoon. For more information on Kim (or to buy one of her gorgeous hats), go to eugeniakim.com.
You need just four things for a successful Kentucky Derby party: a TV, paper to write down all the bets, mint juleps, and a big hat. In this video, NYC-based milliner Eugenia Kim helps out with the proper topper.
Find DIY intimidating? Check out our Roundup of 62 headpieces that make us swoon. For more information on Kim (or to buy one of her gorgeous hats), go to eugeniakim.com.
Bat wings, saddlebags, muffin tops, and banana rolls.
We love the names but hate the flab. In today's videos, fitness queen Tracy Anderson whips us into shape.
Outer thighs (above), saggy bottoms, and upper arms (specifically, that area that sticks out when you wear a tight strapless dress), watch out. Anderson makes the moves look easy, but, seriously, 40 reps and you'll be hurting the next day.
To keep the workout going — and really see results — get down with Anderson's awesome new Metamorphosis DVDs. They're incredibly effective, because you choose the program based on your biggest problem area, be it thighs, butt, or midsection.
Think you can (love) handle it?
Check out all of our exercise videos with Anderson. To buy Metamorphosis, go to tracyandersonmethod.com. And by all means, start picking out your bathing suit.
You thought you had it covered. But that mini armpit muffin top emerged victorious from your strapless dress yet again. In this video, Tracy Anderson shows it who's boss.
Check out all of our exercise videos with Anderson. To buy her Metamorphosis workout DVD, go to tracyandersonmethod.com.
Last year Tracy Anderson taught us one exercise to get our rears in gear. This year she has another — and it's even harder. All you need is a floor mat and a light weight.
We've heard that food is the new indie music: Cool points for the obscure, experimental, and ability to incorporate at least one person with a thick beard.
So, to impress our hirsute hipster pals, we're whipping up our own vegan basics.
In today's videos, En Japanese Brasserie executive chef Abe Hiroki and co-owner Jesse Alexander show us how to execute both soy milk (above) and silken tofu. The processes are surprisingly simple but do require precision and technique (don't beat yourself up if it's not perfect the first time).
If you've been to En, you know the tofu rules. But we also feel good supporting a restaurant that's already raised more than $100,000 for Japanese earthquake relief.
And that's a universal crowd-pleaser. En Japanese Brasserie, 435 Hudson Street, at Leroy Street (212-647-9196 or enjb.com). Want to make your own donation to the efforts in Japan? We recommend The Salvation Army, Mercy Corps, and ShelterBox.
You haven't had tofu until you've had it at En Japanese Brasserie in the West Village. (It's smooth, delicious, and needs no accompaniment.) In this video, executive chef Abe Hiroki shares his method for making the vegan delight. And though it's simple, it does require precision and practice. Also important: The recipe requires unpasteurized soy milk. We recommend making your own.

James Franco. Colin Firth. Will Ferrell. Maybe they're born with it?
Or maybe it's makeup. Yes, we're serious: The men in our lives could be just one touch-up away (specifically, around the eyes, brows, and chin line) from movie star good looks.
To show them how, we enlisted beauty genius and Y Chrome Makeup for Gents founder Antonio McDuffle. In today's video, he dispenses his tried-and-true tips — from where to apply his patented MascuLiner to why men should wear a light lipgloss.
The results are so stunning, we predict it'll soon become routine for all our other halves.
For more great makeup tips, check out our videos on covering up blemishes, applying fake lashes, and concealing under-eye circles.
Things not to say when flirting: "My six cats would adore you." "You're a dead ringer for my dad." And "Did you see me on Hoarders?"
To perfect our technique, we enlisted token male editor Dan. In today's Ask the Office Guy roundup, he answers four reader-submitted dating questions: What are your flirting tips (above)? If you're not initially attracted to someone, should you call it quits? How do guys feel about a girl who hangs out with all guys? And, lastly, what if you hate your date's shoes?
We apologize to readers whose questions he hasn't yet addressed (he receives hundreds). In the meantime, his thoughts on what to wear on a first date and when to friend a guy on Facebook should keep you occupied.
And hopefully deter nonstop poking.
Have a dating question you want answered? Email Dan at email@example.com.

We're not sure what the shoes looked like that inspired this reader from Pound Ridge, N.Y., to write in, but we're imagining neon yellow lace-up Crocs. Deal breaker? Dan talks through the issue in this Ask the Office Guy.

It seems like being one of the boys could be fun: You'd drink a lot of beer, play Fantasy Football, and gain valuable insight into the male psyche. But could it hinder your chances of meeting guys outside the circle? In this Ask the Office Guy, Dan gives his honest opinion.
