K.I.D.S. (Kids In Distressed Situations) is a New York-based organization uniquely situated to help the snow sports industry efficiently target it's clothing donations to children affected by Hurricane Sandy.
"At the time when donations for Sandy Relief were slowing down after the holidays, we thought that was the time we could make the most impact," said Mary Brennan of Spyder,a company that partnered with SIA to organize the relief effort. "We found out about K.I.D.S. and knew we could work with the organization and SIA to give children nice warm clothes for the winter months ahead. We've called the program New Year, New Start Sandy Relief, because many people are rebuilding and putting their lives back together."
The outpour of support and donations from the snow sports community has grossed more than 5,000 lbs. of new children's winter apparel donations collected at the New Year, New Start Sandy Relief donation center in Denver, Colorado. Donations will be distributed in New York and New Jersey in the coming weeks.
Thank you to all of the companies and retailers that have helped the Sandy victims get the warm clothes they need.

Rob Ford wins, battle awaits over election spending, possible Supreme Court appeal, and now Foulidis appeal
With the Rob Ford victory in appeal court – a stunner to be sure – Ford remains Toronto's mayor and the city can go back to its business. For now.
Ford still has an audit on his campaign expenses – expected to be made public by the end of the month. It could cause him even more trouble. But don't expect it to threaten his job. While one of the possible outcomes is Ford being removed from office, after this circus, don't expect that to be even discussed in a serious way.
And then late Friday the Toronto Star reported that restaurant owner George Foulidis has filed an appeal of the defamation case Ford won recently. Well, don't expect it to ever be boring at Toronto City Hall.
Here are some blog entries from earlier on Friday.

Street harassment: The blame lies with you
When one talks about street harassment in Pakistan, an interesting question that is raised by most is,
Whose fault is it exactly?
In my quest to find some answers, and ask women about their views on this issue, I went to Jumma Bazar near Khayaban-e-Ittehad.
It was an interesting and eye-opening experience to say the least. To begin with, it was difficult to convince women to talk in front of the camera. We literally had to chase after a few, be extra polite and add an 'aunty please' after every sentence to make them answer our questions.
I asked them if they thought street harassment was common in Pakistan and if they had ever been harassed. Most of them had a story or two to tell about how men frequently create problems for them at places like bus stops and bazaars.
"Men deliberately bump into women in the market place," said one woman.
Their solution? Beating them up and not shying away from creating a scene. One woman bodly accepted,
Mai ne chamaat mara kheench ke
(I slapped him very hard)
However, what I found a bit disappointing and disturbing was that they blamed their own gender.
"Some women ask for it by dressing improperly," they said.
"Men can't be blamed all the time; women can be at fault too," was another answer.
How unfortunate that they feel this way.
If a woman has a dupatta wrapped around her, does this guarantee that she will not be harassed in our country?
Will no man stare at her then?
Does every man lower his gaze when he sees a modestly dressed woman?

Of course they should slap them hard! Generally these creeps are so aware of their own moral decadence that when they do get a ladoo on the face, they get stuck in time, don't move for few seconds before continuing their routine.
And the lady who basically says that it's a woman's fault represents everything wrong with our country.Recommend

Men in Pakistan are NOT distracted by anything, let alone a mere dupatta!! They are 'unbiased' (with regard to the shape, size, age, attire etc etc.) when it comes to harrassing women!Recommend
dear writer, you are looking through a lens of personal opinions and wish to culminate a conclusion. there are culprits on both the ends, besides going to jumma bazar.. really? how unfortunate that your overtly feminist mind can not fathom the fact that in a highly chromatic city you would find a thousand different POVs that would not resonate with what you are trying to shove down our throats. ask me, and id tell you instances where women do whatever it takes to get whatever attention they can.
there is a fine line between being a journalist and a shover.
you are neither.
lol^^ agreed.
Jan k aman pa k if I can ask why they set up 3 layers of make up when gng to Jumaa or watever bazaar? will somebody tell me, why? dont answer me its personal, duhRecommend
at this jumma bazar, almost all of them complained of being harassed by men, and how many of them did you see dressed immodest?Recommend
Erum Naqvi
They are *unbiased*Recommend
people in Pakistan need to understand personal responsibility. It is the men's responsibility to treat women as if they were their sisters or mothers irrespective of the way they dress. Just putting the blame on women because they are dressed immodestly is the stupidest thing ever. The way women dress has no bearing, and should have no bearing on how the males in the society treat them. Recommend
Ya Right. Recently a famous clip is surfing the web in which a girl slaps a man when he bumps into her as the bus stops suddenly. All the people start cursing and staring the man. And the next thing that happens is the Girl bumps into the guy due to the bus sudden stop. UR talking double standards sis. Similarly if you are dressed properly like in the KINGDOMS . I think the chances of getting harassed are very low. Choice is yours. Recommend
there is a difference between what should be and what is
of course it's the man's fault
if a man is harassing a woman he is wrong
and he is always wrong regardless of what the women is wearing
men should not harass women, but they do
i don't think these women are blaming the woman
i think they are saying that if you live in a society where men harass you for no reason
and this is fact that you have experienced and do not care to go through again, then maybe you could take steps to keep that harassment to a minimumRecommend
Ernesto 'Che' Guevara
@kazmageddon: So sad to know you think that way. Do you think women in naqab dont get raped? Will a mere dupatta save them from being harassed? It's our moral fibre which has completely broken down. Women arent safe ANYWHERE or ANYWAY in the streets. Those 'men' who want to harass women will harass, regardless of their age and what they're wearing. admit the real problem lies not with women…who in rape cases are often blamed of 'getting raped'. I for one find that hilarious. Don't think any women wants to go through that kind of an experience ever. Those harassers are roaming the streets without any fear, while the unfortunate women are deemed as 'having brought it on to themselves.' Disgraceful thinking.Recommend
Ernesto 'Che' Guevara
So what you're saying is women in this country should start living in fear of being harassed. And make changes to their lifestyle just because of some 'low lifers' who have as much moral dignity as i have a chance of going to the moon? Bravo man. It's people like you and thinking like this which is ultimately going to take this country back to the stone age. So much for moving forward.Recommend
@Ernesto 'Che' Guevara:
that is not what i am saying at all
women should do what they like and wear what they like
but men will behave how they like too
i said before and i'll reiterate: the men are wrong
there is no reason to harass anyone ever
but saying they are wrong will not get them to stop
we should still say they are wrong
we should write articles and make movies
and show people the error of their ways
but until they learn
until they are able to fully respect women (which they should be doing now, but are not)
what should women do until then?
i would never blame the woman.
if she is harrassed or god forbid something worse, then you are not allowed to ask- what were you doing there? why were you wearing that? why were you attracting attention?
at this point you support her
but the point before that -when you are going somewhere where you risk being harassed and you know it. isn't it up to you to feel comfortable, safe and protected. Recommend

@Hindu Indian:
Because it's not a particularity to Pakistan, India or even the whole South Asia, but all societies where there's sexual repression (gender separation) and oogling on the streets is perhaps the only way for these men to have a contact with foreign (not in the family) women.
In Egypt, this phenomenon is now a national disease and sexual harassment is at its historic peak, you can nowadays even read reports in intl. media, and Pakistan/India/South Asian hasn't reached that level…
…yet. x)
Isn't it more prevalent in North India, though ? Where the culture is more "men friendly" (let's say) like in Pakistan (Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, …) than in other parts of India.Recommend
why you think that, to treat women as sisters or mothers. this is not right.
in my opinion, it need to teach that irrespective of religion, language, gender, caste, creed, age, sect or colour, every person need to respect other human.

Listen author, There are good people in this world and bad. Good people are no problem but how to protect against the bad. Prevention is better than cure. If you expect some woman to walk around in a street barely dressed and highly revealing, everybody will will see her, because she'd be an odd one out. "If you're showing, then why saying not to see".. Heck forget women, If some drives down a street in a Mercedes S class, everyone looks at that car because everyone else is driving a regular car. But if some woman is modestly dressed and she is not inviting weird acts, and that woman is harassed, then that man should be beaten up. Problems are not being faced women only, I'm a guy and every time I go out in KHI, i wonder if ill come back home with my wallet or mobile phone or even alive. So women please stop being pity-ing your self. Everyone is facing problems.Recommend
I agree with you…
The harrassment of girls is more prevalent in North India compared to South.It all depends on the people.
Its the presence of armed gangs in north.And most of the eve teasers and molesters are part of the gang.So noone is ready to touch them..
Whereas,in south,I've personally seen a man getting beaten up the other passengers in the bus in Chennai.
The best place for women is Kerala,IMO.They stand in queue for bus.and the ladies seat in the front and men in the back of the bus.
If all the men are ready to stand up for a woman who is being harassed.We will have less eve teasing.
You know the worst part in these harrassment.The girls are so fed up of these men that they begin to think that all men are like that…There have been incidents when a man accidentally bumped on a woman ,but is mistaken to be a molester and thrashed.Recommend
Fact 1 : men stare/ogle/checkout women
Fact 2 : this a universal reality not confined to Pakistan
The only difference is when its an attractive desi/gora doing it women get flattered/adulated and when its a poor truck driver or hawker doing they feel violated #doubleaStandardsRecommend
Well in my opinion its the society that is to be blamed where you have so much segregation and non mingling of opposite sex any frustrated person will do the same. There are universities in Pakistan where you have separate footpaths for male and female students and whoever uses the other is fined ( I am amazed). Not only that men are taught at an early age that it is the women who is source of all evil , even Islam teaches modesty to both genders first and then ask women to cover themselves. These frustrated men will not allow their own daughters, wives or mothers to leave home but are more then willing to harass any woman on the street. I have faced similar situation in market place and I wished I could have slapped a few morons to teach them a lesson , quiet honestly you dont want to go shopping again after such incidents, I would never let my younger sister or daughter go alone unguarded to public places , I salute those women who are courageous enough to go and work alone in such a frustrated society. Not only do I blame men but I also hold our society responsible for it , to all the parents reading this we can individually make a difference if we educate our sons to show modesty and decency towards opposite sex and also teach our daughters how to safeguard and stand up for their rights.Recommend
modesty is the best policy to avoid street harassments. All the above personal experiences cannot ba summed up as a collective scenario while one thing is short in these is what you were wearing the time you were harassed.
Above all, women cannot move in all kind of localities. It is a universal law.Recommend

Women should stay in their homes and should not go outside without necessity and when does move out (when in need) they should cover their bodies and faces with large Chaddars or Burqa etc .This is the command of Allah and his Messenger peace be upon him and every muslim woman should obey it and the men of the family should also command and ensure the purdah of the house ladies.

My request to all muslim brothers is to avoid the modern,college,university education for your daughters,sisters,wives etc at all cost and impart them islamic education instead.This is how they will become true knowledgeable and have haya,modesty and piety in them.Otherwise the modern education environment is extremely dangerous for the Haya and modesty of women folk and may result in regret afterwards.plz think over it.Recommend
people here that are making excuses for men are the ones at fault. It is ya'alls fault that you didnt teach these men manners, that you didnt teach these men tehzeeb, and you didnt teach these men to be open minded and have some common sense.
In Saudi women cant drive because its haram, and yet Hazrat Aisha RA led an army into a battle, This zeeshan guy says that parda and burqa are important parts, and yet no where in Quran does it say that these are requirements. Go read the quran first, it only says that a women and MEN dress modestly, and remain in the bounds of modesty. This radical thinking of people will day drown all of us. I know I am over reacting a little bit, but c'mon who doesnt see hypocrisy here when they say that women should be the ones to dress in a chadar, and live in a chaar divari so that men do not go astray…
Let me tell you, if were educated by fine women namely our mothers and sisters, and teachers etc., we wouldn't go about the street and holler obscenities on other women who are also wives, mothers, sisters, daughters of someone. Recommend
@Tariq Ahmed Karachi:
do you mind giving referrences Tariq Saahib that do not include your gali ka maulvi without any formal education in theology, and islam.
Bibi Aisha RA led an army into battle, prophet's other wives served as care givers in times of war, and you over here are dictating for women to live in a chador and chaar diwari. Do these women not have wishes like you do, do they not wish that they also see the sunlight, the beaches, the sunset/rise, the cars on the roads, OTHER PEOPLE, the fountain on sea view… cmon yaar… dont be so selfish to keep all these things only for men… women are also people, try to respect them just the way you respect yourself. If you are content on living in the house 24/7 then do it, why do people like you force this kind of jail sentence on 52% of the world (meaning women).Recommend
i agree with you completely, but do you realize that most in our society do not actually understand human rights, and not care for anyone outside their chaar devari… thats why to drive the message close to home I wrote that women in society are mothers, sisters, and daughters… I meant no disrespect in any way… just wanted to drive the message into these zealots… Recommend

"Sexual harassment is preventable if you dress more conservatively.

There are many societies in the world like Pakistan and India where segregation of the sexes causes men to grow up without much normal interaction with woman as friends and people. This can even be seen in some less developed regions of some societies which are considered to be more developed. Unless this segregation of the sexes changes, these sort of behavior from many men will continue. First start with the schools. Absolutely no segregation of sexes at school. Absolutely not! If we do this, maybe in another twenty years society will experience the positive effects of this.Recommend

Your comment highlights the crucial problem with this entire issue. By defining people as inherently good or bad you are calling the good ones uncorruptible and bad one irredeemable. The only difference between the good and bad person is opportunity.
Secondly, i give you an analogy… cell phone snatchers have been snatching phones for quite some time now. why not stop leaving the house with your cell phone? after all we have been doing it before the telecom era… prevention is better than cure right? you need to also stop using wallets and start using modest means of keeping cash and cards. the bulge on your back pocket that a wallet makes is highly enticing to robbers. we should stop tempting the poor souls. they are human after all…Recommend
First of all in the video all women except one was wearing head covering and shalwar qameez. I have no idea what else classifies for a modest dress. Islam asks you to cover your chest and according to some ulema your hair. All women in the video were doing that yet they still reported harassment. So why are all these comments saying that if they were modestly dressed they wouldn't face problems? What else do you guys want them to do?
And not every house has a male figure. What if a woman has no brother or son? They have to go out to buy grocerries, clothes etc. don't they?

I find it really amusing that Islam talks about equality between men and women. Yet, in this present society and supposedly the '21st century', Islam is probably one of the few religions/the only religion with THE LEAST AMOUNT OF EQUALITY for opposite genders. If men are allowed to do things like going out, then why should women be deprived of that? As some people have mentioned on this blog, Hazrat Aisha led a WAR and actually participated in it. Now that's what I call equality among opposite genders. And women in Saudi Arabia aren't even allowed to drive cars. Wow. I absolutely hate this type of radical thinking. All the Islamic countries will be left in the dark ages if we dont change our way of thinking and be practical. IF a woman wears a provocative dress, still NO MAN has any right to even touch her. He's not an animal, he's a human being who has a far more advanced brain and can control his actions. Only he is accountable for his actions. Do you think on Judgement Day…when Allah asks him why he harassed/raped a woman, he would say 'Because i could see her arms in a dress'. That's utterly laughable. Im ashamed to be a part of such a society.Recommend
Well you do make sense and you are right. But we as a nation first need to correct ourselves first instead of crying foul and blaming others for the problems, and when we blame others for something, the first thing that happens is that we stop improving ourselves, our self development is stopped right at that point when we start blaming others.
The best thing to do is to make ourselves responsible, then only we will act responsibly. This way nobody will get a chance to put the blame on us for any objectionable act. Then we ourselves will know that we and the rest of the world that we are not at fault. Recommend
According to me, women should bear in mind their surroundings before deciding what kind of clothing to wear. That being said, it is still very much probable that you will be harassed because for some men, the fact that you are a woman is reason enough to have an 'innocent accident'. And this can happen anywhere and everywhere. It has absolutely nothing to do with intentions of the woman. I have watched men 'bump' into women at the holiest of places.
To everyone who says that women should not look appealing as this is what causes problems, what is your definition of 'appealing'? To a man whose wife is wearing a niqab, a woman wearing a hijab would be appealing. To a man whose wife is wearing a hijab, a woman without a scarf would look appealing. There is simply no end to this.
The biggest mistake here would be to NOT educate people. Both men and women need to know that it is NOT, under any circumstance, alright to harass someone, neither verbally nor physically. It is also very important to speak up if such an incident takes place. Silence will just give that jerk the sense of satisfaction that he got to you and you're too afraid to even acknowledge it aloud.
Today, it is harassment. Tomorrow, it could turn into rape.Recommend

//Fact 1 : men stare/ogle/checkout women
Fact 2 : this a universal reality not confined to Pakistan
The only difference is when its an attractive desi/gora doing it women get flattered/adulated and when its a poor truck driver or hawker doing they feel violated #doubleaStandards//
You chose your name aptly. Firstly, sexual or street harassment is more than a mere look. Staring at someone is the height of bad manners, no matter who does it and in which country in the world. Try staring at a man like that and see how that works out for you. It is also more than staring: it is groping, cat-calling, whistling, passing lewd remarks, making repeated, unwanted passes, throwing numbers, stalking, crank-calling, following, revealing male genitals in public, etc. The list is long and it is all quite indefensible but go ahead and try.
Which brings me to your second "fact". Street harassment is much more worse in Pakistan than in many other countries of the world. However, even if this were not so, even if it were prevalent in equal measure in every nook and cranny of the world, that would not mean it is not wrong. A wrong is a wrong no matter how many people commit the crime just a falsehood is a falsehood no matter how many people believe it or knowingly lie.
Lastly, please do not presume to know what flatters women and what they find threatening. Let me narrate just one of many personal examples. I disliked attention from a good-looking gora in Lahore, not because I dislike white, handsome men but because he wasn't backing off after I had made it clear I was not interested in his flattery. Pakistani men had to step in to make him stop. Who is harassing is completely irrelevant I assure you. It is the act that is despicable. There are ways of approaching and getting to know a woman or flattering her without treating her like an object whose wishes have no value and whose personal space has no worth. Never, under any circumstances, lewdly stare at a woman. If you try approaching her, check out her body language first. Does she look like she wants to be approached? A woman briskly walking, leaning away from you, reading a book, driving on her way to somewhere, etc, probably does not want to be approached. Respect that. If you do reach the point where you have tried talking after judging that she might want to talk, keep paying attention. If she is not acknowledging your presence, if she is giving clipped, to the point responses, if she is leaning away, checking her watch, telling you she has to go…if her body language or words in any ways tell you your attention is unwelcome, BACK OFF immediately. It is not rocket science. If certain men do not know how to talk respectfully to women or how to behave around them, it is best that they keep their distance till they know how to behave like civilized beings. Recommend
In Pakistan, where sexual repression is rampant and things hinting in any way towards sexuality are deemed offensive, it's smarter for women to cover up, and not for men, but just so they don't feel uncomfortable under the male gaze. But ultimately, that isn't enough because it doesn't matter. The fault absolutely lies with men and a culture of misogyny. I've seen myself that even if you're covered from head to toe.. they will look. Unless men are somehow made aware of the fact that they can't look at women and treat them like pieces of meat, this won't change. Stop blaming women for dressing the wrong way or being somewhere they shouldn't have been. This sort of thinking only perpetuates the notion that men are naturally horny animals and we should just adjust to it. NO.Recommend
@Ali q: "Sexual harassment is preventable if you dress more conservatively."
Not really, if all women wear burqa they still will be harrassed in Pakistan. I said "all" because if half of women them wear simple salwaar kameez, women in burqa may be harrased less.
If men lower their "gaze" there should be no problem. I am not saying "slowly lower their Gaze"…….Recommend

Dear Author Aapaa…
If the dates are covered well… the flys will roam about but not sit.. yet their are some experienced flies who manage to get under the covering… and these are the one which are bashed and tortured.
thus I respectfully disagree to your statement "However, what I found a bit disappointing and disturbing was that they blamed their own gender"…
in my opinion….these stalkers / harassers… firstly need a good spanking and then rehab (we all know they are mentally sick…)Recommend
@Ali Raza:
If 100% of women wear burqa, sexual harrasemnent level will not decrease. Men's imagination can be very creative.Recommend
@ukmuslim : Men or women can't control hormones. What percentage of young Muslims in UK secretly date, a date that involves more then just meeting and talking. In US I have seen Muslim families (especially less educated ones) marry thier daughters to their cousins when they are 16-18.Recommend
I am totally agreed with the statement of ;if you are attiring according to your surrounding then you probably would feel a great difference :) its the way of dressing and behavior that attracts a man.. :) Recommend

I soft bricked my huawei honor 3c and have successfully resolved the issue . My phone was in boot loop and i could not Unbrick it with SDCRAD firmware auto update . So i had to flash the original signed recovery (link below) and then i could auto update from the SDCARD . The complete tutorial and links to files used is in the following link.
I thought ill post it to help others having the same problem and also the additional steps that i performed.
You have to have the Service drivers and SP Flash tool version available on the above link.
if your phone is not detecting drivers and is in a loop of vibrating after every few seconds , then remove the battery , connect it to the computer and immediately put the battery back. If its still not working , then probably you need to remove and reinstall the drivers.
I did not write the guide available at the above link , I only share the above resources and will not be responsible for any consequences with your phone and yourself for using the files and information above. Flash at your own risk and I cannot guarantee your success.

|What a route!! It took two Looking Glass slab masters to pull this one off. The vision & name of this route was Jeep Gaskin's and this line was put in up to the final crux pitch and attempted by Jeep with various partners several times before the route was completed. Monty Reagan deserves high credit for doing what was the "stopper crux lead" on this climb and pulling off the complete first ascent of this humbling route with Jeep.

Will.i.am to Launch Talent Show for 'Wizards'
Will.i.am is straying from the typical reality show formula that we've come to know, love, and eventually tire of. Instead of using his talents to create a singing or music-based competition show, he's planning to develop a technology-based competition show where geniuses will come to compete! Don't let the 'wizards' part fool you. Harry Potter wannabes need not apply.

CHICAGO—The Kinzie Hotel is slated to open here in February following the conversion of the Amalfi Hotel.
The design project, led by Gettys Design Group Chicago was inspired by the city's first settler and explorer, John Kinzie. All elements, from branding to design, pay tribute to Kinzie's historical role. Vintage imagery of 19th century Chicago maps and compasses are displayed throughout guestroom wall coverings, paying tribute to the hotel's exploratory namesake. The navigational branding also speaks to the hotel's tagline, "Chicago Starts Here," encouraging guests to explore the city as John Kinzie once did in the early 1800s.
"The Kinzie Hotel is a quintessential Chicago hotel…the hotel incorporates Chicago concepts throughout the design, from intricate vintage map work in the guestrooms, to the carpeting which features a modern interpretation of the city grid," stated Design Director Ben Nicholas of Gettys Group. "We are excited about the opening of this city-centric hotel – a place where guests can experience a little bit of Chicago with every turn."
The hotel features three intimate, concierge-style guest check-in desks as well as sofa niches along each wall. In the newly renovated 1,500-sq.-ft. lobby, there are spherical, central lighting fixtures that brighten the tone-on-tone gray palette that features metallic grey iridescent tile.
Both the lobby and common areas feature artwork commissioned by local artists, including a gallery component, displaying interpretations of Chicago's urban landscape. Navy blue and gray colors are on the corridor walls, with deep tones on one wall side and lighter accents on the other.
Kinzie Hotel themed colors and textiles are featured throughout three renovated meeting spaces. Named after Kinzie's close friend and colleague, Billy Caldwell aka "Sauganash," the Sauganash Room is a fixed boardroom. A nod to Kinzie's many pivotal moments at Fort Dearborn, the Dearborn Room is a fixed boardroom. The largest room is Wolf Point, 848 sq. ft. with its name inspired from James Kinzie, the son John Kinzie, who built a tavern by the same name on the west bank of the river at Wolf Point in 1828.
The hotel features 210 standard guestrooms and five suites displaying a color palatte of bright teal, cobalt, crimson and pumpkin. A navigational map representing Chicago in the early 1800s is blended throughout the wall covering above the bed. Adding to the room are the navy blue carpet floors, outlined with hexagonal detailing inspired by Chicago's cobblestone streets and city grid of Kinzie's time period. Guestroom lighting is outfitted with sconces resembling city lamp posts, situated adjacent to the king and queen beds.
The guestrooms also feature long, counter-height multipurpose desk units that serve as storage, a desk, and media piece. Renovated bathrooms have new granite countertops, fixtures and portable vanity mirrors.
The Kinzie Hotel is managed by Portfolio Hotels & Resorts.

Does your go-to snack typically contain a grain and/or dairy? Wondering how to supplement your Paleo Meal Plan with snacks? We've got some great ideas to keep you happy, full, and on-track with your Paleo Meal Plan without having to resort to deli meat and raw veggies every afternoon.
Our zucchini hummus got the highest marks from our taste testers who loved the creamy texture and rich, tahini flavor. Pack a container of this dip with any crisp raw vegetables for dipping and you'll have a satisfying snack to keep you from reaching for the processed snacks in the vending machine mid-afternoon.
- 2 medium zucchini, peeled and chopped
- ½ cup tahini
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1½ teaspoons cumin
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Combine all ingredients in the base of a food processor, and process until smooth.
- Serve with crisp raw veggies, such as carrots, celery sticks, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, or cucumber slices, for dipping.
Need more ideas for Paleo snacks? Try these Crispy Kale Chips or Paleo Trail Mix, and let us know what you think.
Crispy Kale Chips are a perfect alternative to potato chips when you get the craving for something crunchy and salty. Drizzle trimmed kale leaves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake at 350° for about 15 minutes or until crisp. We couldn't get enough of these!
For an easy packable Paleo Trail Mix, combine equal amounts natural raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, unsweetened dried blueberries, and unsweetened flaked coconut. You can use any kind of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits you like, but make sure to choose unsweetened dried fruit.

This Is Not The Post
If there is ANYTHING you would actually LIKE me to write about, my all means just ask. Do you have questions? I'll answer 'em! I have long just been too afraid to do something like "Q&A FRIDAYS" because I always assume that I won't actually GET any questions, and then it will just be "A FRIDAYS" and what fun is that? And also how lame. But good heavens. If there's something you actually WANT to know more about, just say the word!!!
Because you? You are my favorite.

what would i like to read about? hmmmmmmmmm. that is a great question. see, i love when you write...doesn't matter what it is about. but i think i would like to know what was your "best" vacation and why. paint me a picture!ReplyDelete
p.s. if you could answer why the stupid word verification hates me so that would be greatly appreciated as well.
Check out the Redacted blog - he does sporadic Friday Q&A (and I think he makes some of those Qs up).ReplyDelete
My request is for you to write about where you shop or how you find clothes.
If you were traveling to another city and you knew one of your invisible friends lived in that city (which you know because, for instance, you have a small Google Analytics problem), would you make an effort to meet the Invisible Friend in person?ReplyDelete
Oh, and I got a Core workout just reading your personal trainer post.
What are you reading these days?ReplyDelete
Tell us who are too poor to do much traveling more about your wonderful city! I LOVE San Francisco and No Cal! When I grow up I want to live along the Russian River in a little shack, or if I'm really stinkin' rich in Bodega Bay.ReplyDelete
You love wine. I love wine. There are a lot of good wines that aren't expensive. Tell us about the wines you like, what you usually buy, what you would buy when you want to splurge, what you look for if you want to buy something sort of special as a gift for a friend. Red or white (or both)?ReplyDelete
Or what wines suck, or what ones make you giggle when you hear someone else say they're "good" because you think they're awful.
Wine names and wine labels are a source of entertainment, too. Ever seen any that were so off-the-wall (as opposed to all stuffy and traditional-sounding), that you HAD to try them? I bought a bottle of "Bitch" once (cool pink label, natch), as a gift for a friend, because the guy at the store recommended it, and besides, who doesn't have good wine-drinking girlfriends who'd "get" receiving a bottle of "Bitch?" :D
Have you ever been to the "wine country?" I'd assume living where you do, that you probably have, but maybe not. Plus, while a lot of people traditionally think of Napa, there are lots of different wine-producing areas near the Bay Area that aren't besides the Napa Valley. Tell us about your trip(s) to them (or go, so you can write about it ;) ).
That ought to be worth at least 3-4 posts, and maybe even a recurring series.
Please strike the word "besides" in the 4th paragraph above (oh how I wish comments were editable!).ReplyDelete
Yes, WINE!!!ReplyDelete

Protesting municipal workers clash with Thessaloniki policeNews Θεσσαλονίκη, Greece - 30 May 2012
Clashes between police and municipality workers who were protesting occurred outside the city hall of Thessaloniki on May 30, 2012.
The municipality workers were protesting about the privatization of water disposal. Some of the protesters ended up fainting or needing medical attention due to the tear gas that was used on them. The workers do not like the idea of the privatization of the main municipality's cleaning service. So, they striked and protested against the international open competition that gives the assignment of garbage vehicle repair to private companies.
The protesters attempted to enter the amphitheater where the counsel was meeting, but they were forced to leave by the police.
Deputy Mayor of Cleansing Hasdai Kapon claimed the whole service is not being privatized, just the opportunity for garbage vehicles to be repaired more efficiently and quickly by private companies.
But the Greek Communist Party, KKE, accused the mayor of Thessaloniki of "hostility towards the people and the employees."
Our contributor wrote, protesting municipal workers clash with riot police outside the main offices of Thessaloniki's city hall on May 30, 2012 during a three-hour work stoppage by the employees who are protesting plans by authorities to transfer the job of maintaining and repairing garbage trucks to a private firm.

The Pacers and David West—their soon to be unrestricted free agent power forward—are committed to extending their relationship, according to the Indianapolis Star's Bob Kravitz. Team President Donnie Walsh declared that Indiana wants to keep West earlier today.
It's against NBA rules for the Pacers to offer West an extension right now, but both parties have made it known they're interested in getting something done this offseason. Along with Paul George, West has been Indiana's most valuable player this season, and retaining him for off the court reasons are just as important, due to his positive influence with younger players in the locker room.

Fearless Symmetry:
Mathematicians solve equations, or try to. But sometimes the solutions are not as interesting as the beautiful symmetric patterns that lead to them. Written in a friendly style for a general audience, Fearless Symmetry is the first popular math book to discuss these elegant and mysterious patterns and the ingenious techniques mathematicians use to uncover them.
Hidden symmetries were first discovered nearly two hundred years ago by French mathematician évariste Galois. They have been used extensively in the oldest and largest branch of mathematics--number theory--for such diverse applications as acoustics, radar, and codes and ciphers. They have also been employed in the study of Fibonacci numbers and to attack well-known problems such as Fermat's Last Theorem, Pythagorean Triples, and the ever-elusive Riemann Hypothesis. Mathematicians are still devising techniques for teasing out these mysterious patterns, and their uses are limited only by the imagination.
The first popular book to address representation theory and reciprocity laws, Fearless Symmetry focuses on how mathematicians solve equations and prove theorems. It discusses rules of math and why they are just as important as those in any games one might play. The book starts with basic properties of integers and permutations and reaches current research in number theory. Along the way, it takes delightful historical and philosophical digressions. Required reading for all math buffs, the book will appeal to anyone curious about popular mathematics and its myriad contributions to everyday life.
"The authors are to be admired for taking a very difficult topic and making it . . . more accessible than it was before."--Timothy Gowers, Nature
"The authors . . . outline current research in mathematics and tell why it should hold interest even for people outside scientific and technological fields."--Science News
"The book . . . does a remarkable job in making the work it describes accessible to an audience without technical training in mathematics, while at the same time remaining faithful to the richness and power of this work. I recommend it to mathematicians and nonmathematicians alike with any interest in this subject."--William M. McGovern, SIAM Review
"Unique. . . . [T]his book is an amazing attempt to provide to a mathematically unsophisticated reader a realistic impression of the immense vitality of this area of mathematics."--Lindsay N. Childs, Mathematical Reviews
"To borrow one of the authors' favorite words, this book is an amazing attempt to provide to a mathematically unsophisticated reader a realistic impression of the immense vitality of this area of mathematics. But I think the book has another useful role. With a very broad brush, it paints a beautiful picture of one of the main themes of the Langlands program."--Lindsay N. Childs, MathSciNet

Donate your candy to Operation Gratitude
Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:47:58 GMT —
Halloween is a fun holiday for you and your kids. You get to dress up in different costumes and go around asking your neighbors for free candy.
But bags full of candy are not good for your stomach, or your teeth.
So, some local dentists are doing something about it.
You can get cash for your candy at Apple White Dental for $1 a pound.
The candy collected will be donated to Operation Gratitude which will be sent to the troops overseas.
"This is a great service opportunity for kids. I'm a father of three and I'm always looking for service opportunities for my kids that they can give of themselves. So, they portion off a portion of their Halloween candy and bring it to us and they get, in return, some money. Everybody wins," Dr. Kirk Juhasz said.
Candy isn't the only thing you can drop off to send to the troops.
You can also send things like beef jerky, magazines, or anything else you think would make them feel like home.

I just received a few CDV photos from around 1879 of a class of
students and was wondering if you could help me with them. The photos were
taken by (Harry) except one which is by (G. W. WEISER) on the corner of
Fourth and Market Streets, steubenville, Ohio. One lady appears to be a
mother or teacher and her photo was glued to the album. Also the girls
seemed to come from different towns around the country. I notice there is a
Catholic school near by but it says it was founded 55 years ago so I don't
know where these girls attended class but it appears like this was a college
or private school.
Lillie R. Neff of Mingo Junction, Ohio.
Madge S. Camphill?(illegable) of South Salem, Ohio. has the letters in
Jennie Mclery?(illedgable) of Cadiz, Ohio. says June 6th on it.

The Gram-negative bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis is a common sexually transmitted pathogen that can cause severe sequelae including cause pelvic inflammatory disease and sterility. This obligate intracellular pathogen effectively manipulates host cellular functions by secreting virulence factors across its membrane bound vacuole. Identifying these virulence components and how they help in establishing an environment conducive for bacterial growth is central to understanding chlamydial pathogenesis. This is experimentally challenging due to a lack of tools to perform molecular genetic studies. In the absence of genetic tools, we developed a yeast model system to identify and characterize chlamydial proteins involved in virulence mechanisms. In this study we describe the identification of twenty-eight proteins potentially involved in modulating host cellular functions and the secretion of virulence factors into the host. Since the delivery of virulence proteins by a type three secretion (T3S) system is a critical step for Chlamydia, we identified the proteins that interacted with the T3S apparatus by yeast two-hybrid analysis. We discovered several novel interactions between and determined that the C. trachomatis T3S apparatus displayed a similar architecture to that of other T3S systems. Furthermore with these approaches we identified networks of proteins that interacted with the secretion apparatus including a novel secretion chaperone protein. We characterized Ct260/Mcsc one of the putative secretion and demonstrated that it represents a novel class 1B secretion chaperone protein. Unlike other known chaperones, Mcsc directly interact with a conserved component of the T3S apparatus cytoplasmic domain, CdsQ. These finding represents a novel mechanism by which the secretion chaperone protein Ct260 may increase the secretion efficiency of its effector cargo and may reveal new facets of secretory cargo recognition by T3S systems.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale want to be surprised in the delivery room, rather than find out the sex of their baby, due this summer.
On Wednesday morning, Gavin told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show,
"We don't know [the baby's gender]. It was a surprise last time so we're kind of working on that this time. There are some [names] floating around the house, bouncing around the walls."
Speaking of names, Gavin said not to expect anything too crazy, "Kingston set a pretty intense standard!"

Do You Have a Sewing Question for Threads?
Hi! I'm Mary Ray, contributing editor for Threads and I've been editing the Q & A Column where we publish questions from readers and the answers to help them out. If you have a question, we'd love to hear from. You can send your questions to me at email@example.com with the subject line Question for Threads. I'll get an answer back to you and it may appear in the magazine as well. Your questions can be about technique, fit, construction, embellishment -- just about anything that has to do with sewing.
By the way, I love this new website where you can post your projects. It's great to see what everyone is doing. Keep up the good work!

I absolutely love the butterfly mesh suit you designed for Threads 162. While the article gives the pattern no for the skirt pattern you used, would you please tell us what notched jacket pattern you used?
I am thinking of all the stretch net/mesh fabrics that have come into the fabric stores for Fall and how your creation would be a lovely way to explore using these fabrics.
With thanks,

One other thing that will also help when sewing is to always stitch in the direction that the thread comes off of the spool. This should keep the thread from knotting as often.
Posted: 1:15 am on July 14th
Posted: 3:33 pm on May 7th
The procedure is this:
1. With right sides together, sew both fronts together at the neckline and armholes.
2. With right sides together, sew both backs together at the neckline and armholes.
3. Clip curves of seams and trim to 1/4".
4. Turn front piece only right side out. Press neck and armholes well.
5. Slip the shoulders of the front section into the shoulders of the back section. (The back section is still inside out.) Adjust shoulder seams as necessary so they will fit perfectly - or as close to perfect as you can.
6. With shoulder seams lined up, stitch seam through all four layers of fabric. (It says to trim the seam allowance here, but I wait to check if the seams are matched up properly first by doing the next step.)
7. Pull front section out, pulling the back shoulder with them. The top is now connected at the shoulder seams.
8. Sew the side seams from one hem to the other, two layers at a time, matching the underarm seam. (i.e. - stitching the two layers of the fashion fabric and then the two layers of the lining fabric - it's one long seam.)
Hem as you wish.
(Remember to press during construction - I didn't type that in.)
I think I used another method when making my mother-of-the bride gown, so will try to look tomorrow for the book that had those instructions.

Delta Express flight 2318

Aircraft Registration: N316DL

Scheduled Departure Time: 7:15pm
Actual Departure Time: 7:20pm
Departure Gate: 92
Scheduled Arrival Time: 8:41PM (Indiana Time)
Actual Arrival Time: 8:44pm (Indiana time)
Arrival Gate: B6
After finishing summer school and celebrating 4th of July it was time for some vacation. I had been looking forward to this flight since May and the day had finally arrived. We left our house at 5:00pm and got to airport about 5:45. The check-in line at Orlando was long but went fast. I gave them my bags and since I'm under 18, my dad got to escort me down the gate. This must be something new because Delta had never done this before with me when I flew with them in December. I got my boarding pass and my dad got a little pass to get him through security. There was absolutely no line at all for Orlando's Gates 60-99 Security area. We proceeded through security and boarded the monorail. At the time it was raining so it made it hard to see out of the monorail. We heard the usual, "We hope you enjoyed your stay in the Orlando area. Have a pleasant flight and please visit us again." We got off the monorail after an exciting and thrilling 30 second, top speed of 25.8 miles per hour ride. We walked over to gate 92 where from that area I saw 3 Virgin heavies all going to England all within 20 minutes of each other. When the second one to leave was pulling out, I saw my plane coming. I was hoping it would be in DLX's new scheme but it was in old colors. That ok though. It was coming in from EWR on DLX flight 2355. It arrived 5 minutes early and everyone aboard deplaned within 10 minutes. According to the somewhat new flat screen t.v.s in the airport terminal, my row (Row 8) was suppose to board at 6:53. At 6:55, the gate agent came on the loudspeaker announcing that we couldn't board yet due to the fact that our pilots hadn't landed yet in Orlando. Finally at 7:00pm I said goodbye to my dad and boarded the plane. I looked into the cockpit while boarding but still no pilots. Too bad, no cockpit visit on this flight. I found my seat sitting next to a young man about my age and his father. I sat down, got fastened in and pulled out my cell phone one more time to call my mom at home and say goodbye before takeoff. We said goodbye and 5 minutes later the pilots arrived. Right after they got on board the cabin door was shut and they began the pre-flight checklists. The gate was pulled away and by 7:20 we began pushback. After pushback the loud 732's left engine started to spool up and well as the safety demonstration starting. The safety demo. was finished and we began to taxi to runway 17. We were #2 for takeoff behind a Jetblue A320 to JFK. The Jetblue took off then we rocketed off the ground. We tookoff and headed Southwest. I have never had a pilot before that climbed so steep. We were about 10,000 feet before we even reached Kissemmie Airport (ISM). We turned to the West and flew over the Disney area. Then once we got close to the coast we started turning north. Once we reached our Flight level of 35,000 feet the seatbelt sign turned off and the drinks and snack mix came around. I also at this time pulled out my father's credit card he let me barrow to make a call from the plane to call my mother from the air. I spoke to her for 4 minutes and that call ended up totaling $27.00. That's OK though, it was a nice one time event. Anyhow, I got my laptop out and listened to music the rest of the flight. One odd thing I noticed though that I had never heard on any of my trips before on a 732 was this annoying,loud and somewhat scary noise coming from the engine on my right (the number 2 engine). It kept on for about 30 minutes then stopped. Anyone know what that was? So I listen to music and watch the ground below. At about 8:00 (Indiana time (one hour before eastern time)) we began descending slowly. It felt and looked like that Indianapolis control was bringing us in from the north on runway 23L or 23R but then all of a sudden I looked out the windows and saw 5L and 5R getting closer. We made a couple right turns and made a smooth landing on 5R. We taxied off and made our way to gate B6. One goof up though, when we landed the flight attendant said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Indianapolis, Indiana. The current local time is 9:40pm." Hey Lady! Set back your clock an hour! Anyhow, thanks for reading my trip report. I'll be typing up my return trip here in a few days. See ya then

Fourth Generation
46. John ADAMSON was born on 26 August 1782 in Cane Creek, Orange County, North Carolina. He died on 22 February 1832 at the age of 49 in Henry County, Indiana.
There is no proof John is a son of Enos. I have found no proof that wife Ann was Ann Jackson.
This John would appear, just from the names of his children, to be related. The son John of Jesse T. Adamson who was in Cane Creek is said to have married Rebecca Leakey and died within a few years, leaving two orphaned children. A son John is not usually subscribed to Enos Adamson and Mary Love, but it would be reasonable to assume he also had one and he was also in Cane Creek. The two Johns, first cousins, would have been very close to the same age. This John also named his eldest child Enos.
1830 Census. Perry Twp, Wayne, IN
Inventory and sale of estate of John Adamson, Apr 1832, Henry Co IN. Ezekiel Lamb, Admin. Included wheat and oat crops. [Note: Ezekiel Lamb married a Rachel Adamson in Wayne Co, 13 Dec 1829]
John ADAMSON and Ann JACKSON were married circa 1802. Ann JACKSON was born on 10 October 1782 in North Carolina. She died on 11 May 1860 at the age of 77 in Indiana.
It appears Ann remarried after the death of John.
May be buried Rigdon Cemetery, Madison Co IN, near her daughter Ann & Levi Hiatt.
John ADAMSON and Ann JACKSON had the following children:

NASHVILLE—Education and industry leaders from the nine-state Pathways to Prosperity Network gathered in Nashville on Thursday, June 26, to discuss how to build academic pathways that establish clear connections between education and the workforce.
Tennessee has earned national recognition for forging critical relationships between education and economic development through Pathways Tennessee, the state's multi-agency initiative established in 2012, focused on providing rigorous education that leads to relevant careers. Pathways Tennessee currently has two pilot programs, one in the Upper Cumberland region and one in the Southeast.
In Southeast Tennessee, middle and high school students in Hamilton, Bradley, Marion, and McMinn counties are building skills in information technology and advanced manufacturing, preparing to make themselves attractive candidates for regional employers.
In the Upper Cumberland region, middle school students in Putnam, Jackson, Overton, and White counties worked through 10-day modules featuring careers that regional industries identified as emerging, such as advanced manufacturing, engineering, and health sciences.
"With programs like Pathways Tennessee, Drive to 55, and Tennessee Promise, state leaders in Tennessee have set out a vision and the critical supports needed to implement and provide a 21st century education and training for all young people. Network states are eager to learn how such a bold strategy was developed and put in place," said Bob Schwartz, Professor Emeritus, Harvard Graduate School of Education and co-leader of the Pathways to Prosperity Network.
The Pathways to Prosperity Network is a collaboration between the Pathways to Prosperity Project at Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), Jobs for the Future (JFF), and nine states: Tennessee, California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, and Ohio. The network is focused on ensuring that more young people complete high school and attain postsecondary degrees and certifications relevant to the labor market.
"By 2025, at least 55 percent of Tennesseans will need a certificate or degree beyond high school to get a job, and today only 32 percent have a post-secondary credential. "Making education more relevant to today's marketplace is critical to our state attracting the jobs of the future, and initiatives like Pathways match the skills employers need to the education and training our students receive, helping us provide the workforce the job market demands," Gov. Bill Haslam said.
Support for these regional undertakings comes from multiple state agencies including the Tennessee Departments of Economic and Community Development, Labor and Workforce Development, Tennessee Higher Education Commission, and many other statewide organizations. While Pathways Tennessee currently has two pilot regions, over the next two years this initiative will begin touching all corners of the state beginning with Southwest, Northwest, and East Tennessee regions in late 2014.

This week, Brown may finally learn what his future holds.
"We are going to have an updated medical report probably by Wednesday and certainly no later than Thursday," Browns president Carmen Policy said during a press conference Monday in advance of this week's opening of training camp.
According to Policy, the report will include both "the sophisticated aspects in a review of the situation from the eye specialist, and it will also include a report from the trainer (Mike Colello) as to how he's been doing with his workout program."
Brown is finally able to take part in some light workouts, training on a stationary bike and doing some cardiovascular exercises without causing further damage to the blood vessels behind his right eye.
Even with that promising news, the Browns appear to be expecting the worst from this week's medical report. During Monday's press conference, Policy and Browns director of football operations Dwight Clark hinted that the club is considering several options with Brown. Those options could include the release of the eight-year veteran or placing him on the team's physically unable to perform list.
"We are going to talk to the player and we are going to talk to the player's agent, hopefully at the same time," said Policy. "We are reviewing all of our options, and we are going to try to work it out in a way that is truly in the best interest of the player and in a way that would be mutually beneficial to the club."
Should Brown be forced to retire, it could lead to a legal battle with the National Football League. Brown was injured in a Dec. 16 game with Jacksonville when he was hit in the eye by a penalty flag thrown by referee Jeff Triplette. Famed trial lawyer Johnny Cochran has already been approached by Brown to represent him should he decide to file suit.
Second-year offensive lineman Steve Zahursky (Kent State), who started seven games at right guard and left tackle in 1999, is slated as Brown's replacement at right tackle. Zahursky, who added close to 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason, is a favorite of Browns coach Chris Palmer. The coach has also been impressed by 23-year-old tackle Roger Chanoine, who appeared in one game in 1999 after being signed as a free agent midway through the season.
"We like the chemistry on the offensive line right now," said Clark. "We think that Steve Zahursky and Roger Chanoine had great offseasons, and we feel like they can get the job done. There is just an unknown there because of a lack of experience."
That fear of the unknown has led Clark to explore the prospects of bringing in some veteran help at right tackle.
The top candidates are 35-year-old New England free agent Bruce Armstrong and 30-year-old Miami free agent James Brown.
"We've discussed bringing both players in with their agents," said Clark. "Bruce Armstrong has a desire to stay in New England first of all. He wants to work on that. He is close to setting a record (with the Patriots) in terms of starts. He would like to do that, so he is apparently going to give them every chance possible to sign back there."
Armstrong, a 13-year veteran who appeared in six Pro Bowls, is 11 games short of Julius Adams' Patriots record for games played (206). The Patriots released Armstrong in February to clear room under the salary cap.
"If it doesn't work out and he doesn't re-sign with New England, then we would like to have him in for a physical before we take it any further since he has had ACL surgery," said Clark. Armstrong had reconstructive knee surgery before the 1993 season.
"I've talked with James Brown's agent, and we are just starting to get into that," said Clark. "We've had conversations about it the last couple weeks. We'll start looking into that more seriously now to see if that is something we want to do. As of right now, it's a possibility, but there is nothing certain."
Brown is an eight-year veteran who has played with Miami and the New York Jets.
In other news, the Browns agreed to terms with four members of their 2000 draft class on Monday by signing offensive lineman Brad Bedell, offensive lineman Manuia Savea, defensive end Eric Chandler and defensive back Rashidi Barnes.
All four agreed to three-year contracts.
Wide receiver Dennis Northcutt, running back Travis Prentice, tight end Aaron Shea and quarterback Spergon Wynn are the only four Browns rookies who have not come to terms.
Browns director of football operations Dwight Clark said he hopes to have all four signed by the start of training camp Wednesday.
"Most of those guys were the first pick in their round," said Clark. "Sometimes problems occur because their agents expect them to get the best deal of their rounds."

The Beauty of Differences
Posted: Jul 12, 2007 11:14am ET
I smoked a Juan Lopez Obus torpedo last night at a friend's house in Tuscany following dinner. It was just the right thing after a few pieces of grilled Florentine steak and 1999 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino Vigna di Pianrosso Riserva and 1995 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle. Both were in magnum. The small torpedo, or "campana," was surprisingly mellow and refined with creamy, cedar character and medium finish. It drew wonderfully and delivered very pleasant flavors. 90 points.
The cigar, which measures 52 ring gauge by 5 ½ inches long, was introduced last year in France as one of the year's regional edition smokes. Each year the Cubans specially make a number of cigars for selected markets and the Obus was for the French market last year. They came in both 25 and 10 cigar cabinet cedar boxes.
Interestingly, Josh Meerapfel, the Belgian cigar man who grows wrapper tobacco in Cameroon, was hanging for a few days with me with his wife. And he was at the dinner smoking away on a Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Robusto next to me. So I took a drag off it.
It was strong and more flavorful than the Lopez. But I wouldn't say it was better. It was just different. It was like comparing the Brunello and the Hermitage. Both were excellent wines but very different.

Good choice of wine. Brunello's are not very well known but spectacular. Nothing quite as nice as an excellent wine and a cigar after dinner.

Approximately 300 Los Altos School District employees last week brushed up on their emergency response training with members of the Los Altos Police Department.
According to Los Altos Police Chief Tuck Younis, the police department and school district decided to join forces shortly after the Dec. 14 Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Younis said that while district employees regularly receive code-red training through the district, the Jan. 22 session at Egan Junior High School served as a refresher course that outlined specific responses for district staff and police to take in the event of an on-campus emergency.
"When the tragedy happened in Connecticut, the superintendent (Jeff Baier) and I just talked about making everyone more aware and preparing our response to emergency situations," Younis said. "We just wanted to get everyone in a room at the same time to go over roles, responsibilities and expectations."
The joint training session came on the heels of an "intense" crisis response training for members of the Los Altos Police Department in spring 2012, said Younis, who noted that the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado "changed the way we respond to these things."
Reached by the Town Crier, Baier said the training covered "a broad range of safety situations," such as fire and earthquake emergencies. The training included shelter-in-place drills, which outlined specific steps such as locking classroom doors and blocking windows prior to law enforcement arriving on scene.
"We've had this training in place for a number of years, but it's always good to update it and make sure we coordinate with law enforcement," Baier said. "It was useful to know a couple of things, such as what the expectation is from school staff, as well as a clear understanding of what staff can expect from law enforcement."
Younis noted that an essential part of the training also focused on prevention, such as identifying potentially dangerous situations before an event occurs. Baier said the district's 600-student school capacity limit allows staff members to be "trained observers on campus" and become familiar with students and parents alike.
"Knowing people on campus, knowing students and knowing parents is of key importance," Baier concluded. "(The training) was a reminder that the safety of our students and the safety of our staff is the most elemental expectation."

Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has pledged to improve the salaries of the state's teachers over the next several years.
Haslam said at a news conference on Thursday that by the time he leaves office he wants Tennessee's teacher salaries to have grown more than salaries in any other state.
The Republican governor is up for re-election for a second four-year term next year.
Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman joined Haslam and said the administration will review national state-by-state salary data each year to see that Tennessee's teacher salaries are just as competitive.
According to the latest data from the National Education Association, the average national salary for classroom teachers is $56,383, compared with $48,289 in Tennessee.

'Buying British is just too expensive'
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has been put off buying English players by the price tags.
Benitez has signed Dutch defender Jan Kromkamp and Danish defender Daniel Agger during the transfer window.
He admits he would like to sign young, talented English players, but feels he can get better value for money shopping abroad.
'Ideally my aim is to have a young squad based on English talent but the problem is always the price,' Benitez told the Daily Mirror.
'You ask about a teenager with no experience and you are quoted £5million, maybe more.
'You can go abroad and buy a player with international experience, who can go straight into the team for half that price. It is a problem for the game in England.
'There is still young talent coming through but the high prices make it very difficult to bring them to clubs like Liverpool where they can play at the highest level.
'If the talent is going to keep coming through then we need to adjust the prices that the clubs are paying.
'We will not pay the high prices - we will only pay what we feel the player is worth.'
