The first question you should be asking is "Is a chameleon right for me?" Chameleons are not your average domesticated pet, in fact, they are quite the opposite. With the exception of a few species, captive bred individuals may not be available for purchase, thus leaving wild caught animals as the only option for acquiring one. As you will come to realize, there are inherent problems that can arise from purchasing wild caught chameleons. Therefore, it is usually best to purchase quality captive bred specimens.
Chameleons also require daily care, regular veterinary visits, and a variety of feeder insects, all of which will require significant monetary contributions to your new hobby. Obviously, chameleons are not a pet to keep if you are not financially stable. The equipment that is necessary to properly set up a chameleon's enclosure will initially run anywhere from $200 and up. Add the price of your chameleon, its first vet visit, and its food cost and you are easily approaching a figure closer to $500 or more.
Next, do you have the time available to provide formidable care? A chameleon's cage will need to be cleaned regularly, as often as every week or so. Chameleons in general will need to be misted two or three times daily in order to keep the humidity at the proper levels and allow for drinking. Most chameleons will need to be fed everyday with babies and juveniles requiring more frequent feedings.
Chameleons are often antisocial or prefer to be left alone. They are not pets that you would want to handle daily because this may lead to unnecessary stress. If you are still interested in these lizards and feel that you can adequately provide the necessities for them, than a chameleon may be the right pet for you. Please do as much research as you is possible in order to acquire a wealth of knowledge on chameleon husbandry. By doing this, your first chameleon will be that much better off.

There are only two reasons why people are sick today:
Aztec Nopal Extract takes care of both issues fast so that your body heals itself! Be ready to get rid of your pills/medications down the road!
Aztec Nopal Extract Juice is the only super juice on the market that went through a 45-day process of fermentation, low temperature heating, and concentration through evaporation. It is enriched with probiotic enzyme for detox and colon cleanse. Through this 45-day process, amino acids, vitamin, and minerals become highly absorbable and restoration starts to happen to your body FAST in cellular level. Dr. Pfeiffer's Law states, "For every drug that benefits a patient, there is a natural substance that can achieve the same effect." This fermentation process makes Aztec Nopal Extract Juice part of a orthomolecular remedy that helps your body to achieve balance (Orthomolecular /or·tho·mo·lec·u·lar/ (or″tho-mo-lek´u-lar) relating to or aimed at restoring the optimal concentrations and functions at the molecular level of the substances (e.g., vitamins) normally present in the body.). "Orthomolecular treatment does not lend itself to rapid drug-like control of symptoms, but patients get well to a degree not seen by tranquilizer therapists who believe orthomolecular therapists are prone to exaggeration. Those who've seen the results are astonished." Abram Hoffer, M.D.
With 21 years of experience and knowledge on nopal, no one has even come close to what we have. This is the ultimate Nopal Extract Juice. No sodium benzoate is used as preservative, only citrin (grapefruit seed oil) is used as an all natural preservative.
Nopal Juice Reviews: The manufacturing process imply extract juices out of nopal. Most are diluted with water and they have to because pure nopal juice is very sticky and undrinkable unless a special technology is applied to liquify and extract all the good ingredients. The Aztec Indian still uses nopal to make glue today. Although there are 18 discovered amino acids in nopal but under this simple processing procedure, they are not so absorb-able to the human body. Nopalea Reviews: Under the current law, you have to list all your ingredients outside of a bottle with a label. If you read the label of Nopalea Ingredients, there is probably only 10%~15% nopal juice in a bottle. And it's juice from the fruits not the pads, which possesses lesser nutritional values. Most content in the bottle could be distilled water (you have to list your ingredients in sequence of what you use the most to the least), which means, a good portion of your money goes to pay for water and the shipping cost of it. With the amount of sugar in it, diabetic individuals should also use with caution. You can't alleviate one symptom without alleviate othersMake sure to also visit our "Testimonies" pages. The same natural good ingredients that helps with Bi-Polar CAN NOT not help with depression. The same all natural ingredients that increase your energy level the right way (not through cafeinne or chemicals), do not know how NOT TO improve your sexual health. That's why you see our customers are usually free from multiple health issues at once.

WACO - When Greg Abbott was paralyzed by a fallen tree in 1984, Mark Phariss flew 500 miles to his friend's bedside. They were law school pals who swapped stories over dinner, job leads and airport rides, and they still exchange Christmas cards today.
DALLAS — Four big-name Republicans running for lieutenant governor said Monday night that a Texas judge erred when he ordered a brain-dead, pregnant woman off life support and vowed if elected to tighten state law so that a similar outcome couldn't happen again. "It is an extremely difficult set of circumstances. But we need to make certain that as a society, we are protecting life," Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said.
AUSTIN - Texas is the Wild West of big-money, no-limit political giving. But the early cash hauls lassoed in the race to replace Gov. Rick Perry hint at a new kind of gold mine.
AUSTIN - Racism allegations at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department have officials searching for a chief diversity officer - a hiring believed to be the first of its kind for a major state agency.
SAN ANTONIO - Texas has seen the future of the public library, and it looks a lot like an Apple Store: Rows of glossy iMacs beckon. iPads mounted on a tangerine-colored bar invite readers.
AUSTIN - Forget whether Hillary Clinton could win the White House in 2016.
AUSTIN — Facing an extraordinary threat of impeachment, University of Texas Regent Wallace Hall received a fresh scolding Wednesday from lawmakers who blasted "maverick" conduct and questioned his secretive talks with the agent of Alabama football coach Nick Saban. Hall didn't attend the latest investigative hearing at the Texas Capitol with his job on the line. That only further angered a bipartisan House committee weighing accusations that Hall misused his office by embarking on an obsessive campaign to oust Austin campus President Bill Powers.
AUSTIN (AP) - An embattled University of Texas regent facing a rare threat of impeachment won't testify as expected this week to a House committee investigating his actions, lawmakers said Tuesday.
AUSTIN — Civil rights activists accused Texas officials Monday of not enforcing laws designed to drive voter turnout, while records show that if the first elections under the state's new voter ID law angered or confused many people, they've not complained to the state in force. A report from the Texas Civil Rights Project shifted the dispute over voting rights from whether people would be turned away on Election Day to whether residents are given enough opportunities to simply register to vote.
AUSTIN - State leaders on Wednesday finally lifted a nearly yearlong moratorium on Texas' $3 billion cancer agency, which came unraveled by a criminal investigation, questionable spending and mass resignations by some of the nation's top scientists.

Never Let Me Goby Kazuo Ishiguro

As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.
Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is another classic by the author of The Remains of the Day. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Welcome to our JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes team page!
We're taking steps to help JDRF progressively remove the impact of type 1 diabetes (T1D) from people's lives until no one has to fear developing this disease. By joining our Walk to Cure Diabetes team and making a donation to JDRF, you'll raise money to help fund critical T1D research and create a world without T1D.
Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. Every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
The challenge we've set ourselves - to raise money for JDRF and to walk - is modest compared to the daily challenges of life with T1D, which involves a 24/7, unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing and insulin injections to manage the disease.
Will you accept the challenge to make a difference by walking with us? Just click on the "Join this Team" button, make a donation, and start fundraising.
Thank you for your support, and we'll see you on Walk day!

Title: | "Easier said than done": pre-service teachers and multicultural education |
Author: | Braud, Hillary Nicole, 1974- |
Abstract: | This qualitative dissertation explores the beliefs of 15 pre -service teachers who completed their apprentice teaching semester in diverse early childhood classrooms . The pre -service teachers' beliefs about teaching in diverse early childhood classrooms and the experiences the pre -service teachers attributed to having influenced and /or challenged their prior beliefs are of particular interest in this study . An analysis of interview data resulted in four themes . The first theme explores the participants' focus on their beliefs about how students learn , the role of the teacher in students' learning , and the importance of building a classroom community when asked to describe teaching in diverse early childhood classrooms . The ways in which the participants marginalized multicultural education by limiting what it included and by reserving it for particular subject areas , grade levels , and groups of children is described in the second theme . The third theme details the experiences that altered the participants' prior beliefs about teaching in diverse early childhood classrooms , including seeing difference , confronting prejudices , observing teachers , and refining beliefs . In the final theme , I examine the instability found in the participants' beliefs with regard to language , difference , families , and holidays . A second phase of research , including interview , observation , and document data , resulted in two themes : adopting pedagogical approaches and reflecting on practice . These findings lead to three conclusions for this study . First , pre -service teachers' beliefs about teaching in diverse classrooms are more complex than previous research has suggested . Second , reflecting on beliefs and practice is essential to the development of multicultural education practices . However , reflection about diversity , by itself , does not help pre -service teachers with their practice during field placements . Pre -service teachers need opportunities to observe multicultural education practices to connect beliefs and theory to practice . Finally , teacher educators need to understand the prior experiences and beliefs of the pre -service teachers in their courses in order to plan a range of activities that meet pre -service teachers where they are and then take them where they need to go with regards to their beliefs about teaching in diverse classrooms , so that these activities are effective for providing an interruption of prior beliefs . |

Good price for the item I wanted and quick deliver with good comms to let me know how order was progressing. Over the years I've had good service from WLL, it's sad to hear that they have decided to close the business - unfortunately, it seems a sign of the times in the UK. Good luck for the future guys.
The price of the shower unti I bought was very competitive - not the very cheapest, but almost. What I was very impressed with was not only the speed of the delivery, but also how the delivery company sent a text on the morning of delvery to give a pretty accurate delivery time slot.
I've used Merlin Cycles for years and although they might not have the range of products of some of the big online players, their prices are usually amongst the best and, unlike one of their big competitors, they can get their orders out quickly - normally receive goods the following day.
Ordered some self assembly shelf units and some storage tubs for my workshop. The stuff was good value and delivery very quickly. One of the storage boxes was damaged in transit, but a quick phone call, and I received a free replacement within a couple of days.
BigDug was recommended to me by a couple of friends - and I can see why. Based on my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Big Dug.

Ohio homeschooling mom shares some pros and cons about K12 curriculum...
I really like the K12 curriculum. I think at times some of the work is a little bit advanced, but overall it is a great program.
I have been using the k12 curriculum for the last five years. I will probably keep using that for next year as well. I think it is a little pricey but well worth every penny!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Susan! Blessings, Heather

- Currently 5/5 Stars.
I bought this ball from Pooldawg and it's the only one I use at home. It really helps me watch the spin I get after I hit the ball. It also helps when training in english shots. I would definitely suggest anybody who is in the training phase of their time on the table buy this for help.
- Currently 5/5 Stars.
These cards are a great way to improve your game. They not only show you some shots to practice, they also show you where to strike the cue ball and how fast or slow to hit it. Their a nice size and easily readible. I practice each card until I make the shot 3 times in a row, then move on to the next card. I recommend these cards to anybody who wants to improve their game.

An assumed snub by the Queen B upsets the young up-and-comer.
Azealia Banks seems to have an easier time making enemies than friends. The hip hop newcomer from Harlem made a play for Lil Kim's bad side on Twitter (her preferred method of pot stirring) yesterday by accusing the Queen B of relying on ghostwriters.
Banks kicked off the drama with a tweet claiming that she had upset Kim by writing her a reference verse for a song on which she was to be featured. Banks said she decided to write the verse because "everyone knows" that Kim doesn't write her own lyrics.
"Everyone knows Lil Kim doesn't write her own raps and I saw this as a faster more efficient way of getting the track done," Banks wrote.
The "212" rapper somewhat contradicted this claim in a later tweet, in which she alleged it had been Kim's management who requested the reference verse in the first place.
Responding to Banks' allegations, representatives for Lil Kim released a statement to AllHipHop expressing surprise at the situation and questioning the younger artist's motives.
"We have no idea what they are referencing and have no desire to discuss the matter any further as there is nothing to talk about," the statement read. "It honestly seems that someone from azealia's team would rather have her fans buy into manufactured drama instead of buying music."
Undeterred, Banks kept the taunts coming in subsequent tweets.
"@LilKim u can still use the verse if you want.. Or feel free to write your own. But you should really do the verse," she wrote.
Recently, the 20-year-old up-and-comer made headlines for brazen Twitter offensives against T.I. and Iggy Azalea. Prior to yesterday's comments, she had cited Kim as one of the few artists she admired.

Not a plugin actually, but someone could turn it into one. It's actually quite simple, you just need to include the following code in your theme wherever you want the map to appear. You will need a profile field called "Location". You will also need a Google Maps API key.

Standardized Tests Begin Tuesday
4/15/2013 (Updated 11:18:19 PM)
Begining on Tuesday, students in grades three through eight throughout the area will start taking a series of standardized tests focusing on English, language arts and math.Officials actually expect test scores to drop from previous years because this year's tests will be more rigorous. Some parents throughout the state have threatened to keep their kids from taking the tests--but the state has stressed opting out of the test is not an option and Broome-Tioga BOCES Superintendent Allen Bbuyck says if districts fall below 95 percent participation it could affect some funding from the state.
The state sees the test as an important tool to help teachers see where students need extra support.
"So we're expecting that the results will go down. The one thing that parents and the schools shouldn't interpret from that is that their child is any poorer than they were before or that the teacher had an issue and there's a problem with the teacher's performance," said Buyck.
Buyck says this area has seen a minimal number of requests by parents to have their children opt out of the tests, unlike other areas of the state.

I'm Late (not the good kind)
July 1, 2007
It's day 15, and my ovulation kit says my luteinizing hormone is not surging. It was supposed to surge today. I knew this trip and change of routine might throw things off. I'm thinking the chances are slim that the sperm from day 13 will be waiting around for me to ovulate if I haven't even started surging yet. Since we're off now to visit one of my best friends and her family in Olympia, Washington, I suppose we'll just have to "do it" furtively at their place tonight. Not ideal.

Rate This RecipeI was looking for a crock pot recipe and stumbled across this one. EXCELLENT in the crock pot with the following modifications. I used one pound of pasta. Only cook pasta 1/2 the recommended cooking time on package. It will not be done yet, but will finish softening up in crock pot. Totally omitted butter. Added 2 cans of chicken broth and 1 can of cream of chicken soup to crock pot along with other ingredients. Cooked on low for 6 hours....DELICIOUS. I also used a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store unstead of boiling one. Thanks for sharing this one...not your normal chicken spaghetti...has a great spicy kick and very colorful for a pot luck dinner.
My three boys and husband all loved this recipe. I did make a few changes though. They don't like celery or green pepper so I left out the celery and I used red bell pepper instead of green. I didn't use any butter and used fresh mushrooms instead of canned. I also used grated cheese instead of cubed processed cheese. With these changes everyone had thirds, and if I can get ALL my boys to agree on something you know it is a winner!!
My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe and it was a nice change of pace. I used fresh mushroom and added red pepper flakes when I was sauteeing the vegtables for a little extra kick. I also subsituted mozzarella cheese for the processed cheese and the result was less creamy than I think it was intended to be. If you decide to do this, I would reduce the amount of pasta by 1/3. This was a great recipe that we will definately make again!

Code. Collaborate. Organize.
No Limits. Try it Today.
If you made an application that is using an SQL Server database that needs to be located on the client server, VS.NET Setup Project doesn't help too much, you could go for InstallShild or other product that will make things easy but the costs will get higher. So searching for a free solution I've found an article on MSDN about using the Installer class and custom actions to make this happen. The code is in VB.NET, so this article is porting it to c# with some new features that I've found useful. All you need to do is to make a class derived from System.Configuration.Install and add to the solution two Embedded Resources named install.txt & uninstall.txt. The install.txt will contain the SQL script for your database and uninstall.txt the drop script. For the database script, I am using the ASPstate script made by Microsoft team for the ASP.NET InSQL session state:
< sessionState mode ="SQLServer" stateConnectionString ="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString ="data source=aleph;User ID=ASPsession;Password=ASPsession;" cookieless ="false" timeout ="60" />
For my web application to work on a client server, I need to make a MSI with my app and the SQL script. To run the script at install time I've made a .dll named ScriptInstall, the code for it will follow.
First we declare a string that will have a default value and can be overwrite by the Install method:
string conStr="packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;"+ "data source=\"(local)\";persist security info=False;"+ "initial catalog=master";
I use two functions that will return the connection string and the script content:
private static string GetScript(string name) { Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); Stream str = asm.GetManifestResourceStream( asm.GetName().Name+ "." + name); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(str); return reader.ReadToEnd(); } private static string GetLogin(string databaseServer, string userName,string userPass,string database) { return "server=" + databaseServer + ";database="+database+";User ID=" + userName + ";Password=" + userPass; }
Then I use two functions that will run the install.txt and uninstall.txt onto the SQL server. The ExecuteSQL has a regex that splits the script after GO so that I can execute one by one with SQLCommand, I am doing this because ADO.NET will throw an exception if the SQL script contains "GO".
private static void ExecuteSql(SqlConnection sqlCon) { string[] SqlLine; Regex regex = new Regex("^GO",RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Multiline); string txtSQL = GetScript("install.txt"); SqlLine = regex.Split(txtSQL); SqlCommand cmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand(); cmd.Connection = sqlCon; foreach(string line in SqlLine) { if(line.Length>0) { cmd.CommandText = line; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; try { cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } catch(SqlException) { //rollback ExecuteDrop(sqlCon); break; } } } } private static void ExecuteDrop(SqlConnection sqlCon) { if(sqlCon.State!=ConnectionState.Closed)sqlCon.Close(); sqlCon.Open(); SqlCommand cmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand(); cmd.Connection = sqlCon; cmd.CommandText = GetScript("uninstall.txt"); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); sqlCon.Close(); }
Having the functions now we can override the Install(IDictionary stateSaver) and Uninstall(IDictionary savedState). In the Install method besides running the SQL script on to the server I save the connection data submitted by the user. It's dangerous to save connection strings in clear, so I use RijndaelManaged to encrypt it. You can find the class in the source as well. I am saving the connection string because I need it at uninstall to drop the database ASPstate.
Install(IDictionary stateSaver)
Uninstall(IDictionary savedState)
public override void Install(IDictionary stateSaver) { base.Install (stateSaver); if(Context.Parameters["databaseServer"].Length>0 && Context.Parameters["userName"].Length>0 && Context.Parameters["userPass"].Length>0) { conStr = GetLogin( Context.Parameters["databaseServer"], Context.Parameters["userName"], Context.Parameters["userPass"], "master"); RijndaelCryptography rijndael = new RijndaelCryptography(); rijndael.GenKey(); rijndael.Encrypt(conStr); //save information in the state-saver IDictionary //to be used in the Uninstall method stateSaver.Add("key",rijndael.Key); stateSaver.Add("IV",rijndael.IV); stateSaver.Add("conStr",rijndael.Encrypted); } SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(conStr); sqlCon.Open(); ExecuteSql(sqlCon); if(sqlCon.State!=ConnectionState.Closed)sqlCon.Close(); } public override void Uninstall(IDictionary savedState) { base.Uninstall (savedState); if(savedState.Contains("conStr")) { RijndaelCryptography rijndael = new RijndaelCryptography(); rijndael.Key = (byte[])savedState["key"]; rijndael.IV = (byte[])savedState["IV"]; conStr = rijndael.Decrypt((byte[])savedState["conStr"]); } SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(conStr); ExecuteDrop(sqlCon); }
Now that the installer class is done I can make a Setup project and add the primary output. In the User Interface Editor, select the Start node under Install. On the Action menu, choose Add Dialog. In the Add Dialog dialog box, select the Textboxes (A) dialog, then click OK to close the dialog box. On the Action menu, choose Move Up. Repeat until the Textboxes(A) dialog is above the Installation Folder node. Edit the properties of the Textboxes(A) form like this:
Go to the Custom Actions Editor and add the Primary output to the install and uninstall nodes. Click on the Primary output at the Install node and edit the properties. In the CustomActionData, type this:
/databaseServer=[EDITA1] /userName=[EDITA2] /userPass=[EDITA3]
I am getting the values of the Text Boxes in the Installer class using the Context.Parameters.
conStr = GetLogin( Context.Parameters["databaseServer"], Context.Parameters["userName"], Context.Parameters["userPass"], "master");
All is done now. Just build the two projects and you are ready to install the database. I hope you'll find this code useful, there are a lot of things that can be added to the code like storing safer the Key and IV of the Rijndael or using in the ExecuteSql transactions. Looking foreword to your comments.

Editor's Note: This column appeared in Bridge Magazine.
On October 29, CHRT sponsored a symposium to look at issues surrounding the safety net and the future of health care after the Affordable Care Act takes effect. While there are some who believe that getting to (or close to) universal coverage would mean the end of the safety net, our panelists came to the opposite conclusion. That is, we all believe that in the reform environment, the safety net will be at least as important as it is today – perhaps more so. But demands on safety net providers will change when health reform is fully implemented and the structure and organization of the safety net needs to be ready for those changes.

I was quoted .49 cents per mile by the attendant at this Uhaul location when in actually the rate was .89 per mile. This extra $100 in mileage is dishearting and will cause me to not frequent Uhaul ever again.
Hours of operation are wrong. Uhaul website listed 8-5pm central time on Saturdays. I was there waiting but the shop did not open until 9am. I called Uhaul the day of to update their records and the owners claimed they have made the same request to Uhaul on several occasions with no success. I also did not receive a final confirmation email or phone call 24hr. in advance to confirm the exact pickup time and location.
Cruse control and diesel engine would have been wonderful. Especially a cruse control!
ISince no one called me toi advise where to pick up the vehicle, I had to call uhaul to find out. When I went to pick up the vehicle, I was advised that the vehicle had been moved to another location for me to pick up, but again, no one called to advise. Not a good way to di business,

"We used these for my sons classroom valentines, he Loves dinosaurs and isn't really into Valentines day until he saw all the candy - I stuck them on a bag of heart candies instead of attaching a valentine card and it was so much easier! No tape, no signing his name, and so him! Loved these!"
"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"
"easy...especially for someone who always forgets to buy cards! design is great for boys. i bought several different designs, but this was, by far, my favorite!"
"Perfect tag for my daughter's baptism favors! The theme is butterflies (on invites, thank-you's, menu cards, etc.) So this is perfect! The butterfly images are chic without being too cutesy like others I have seen. Thanks!"
"I bought the matching card and had to get the stickers as well. I was not disappointed. The colors are crisp and bright. They made gifting easy. No treat bags, just a sticker on a pre-wrapped treat for a classroom exchange."

Washingtonian magazine highlighted the masitas de puerco, a traditional Havana dish of bitter orange-marinated pork, as well as the "peppy mariachi soundtrack" that fosters a lively atmosphere. As appetizers of citrus-and-ginger-infused ceviche disappear like a repossessed magic kit, diners can turn their focus to mesquite-grilled fish or a refreshing cocktail from the fully stocked bar.
The chefs at La Casita Pupuseria pull their recipes from El Salvador, a country where fresh shrimp and savory meats are in no short supply. To craft their signature pupusa—a traditional Salvadoran snack that enticed the palate of reporters from the Washington Post—they sculpt masa into perfectly round balls before packing it with cheese, meats, and veggies. They carefully pinch off excess dough so they can procure an ideal balance of masa and filling, as well as secretly help the Pillsbury Doughboy gather enough material to eventually build himself a wife, finally. The skilled cooks sizzle the plump discs on a griddle before plating them with fresh pickled cabbage and tomato salsa.
Once plates of warm pupusas have been delivered to hungry diners, chefs turn their attention to orders of crisp enchiladas and fresh seafood ceviches. They also whip up a variety of natural juices and fresh licuados, favoring juicy slices of mango, papaya, and mamey.
From Old Saigon to Bangalore and everywhere in between, Southeast Asian cuisine embraces distinct foods that overlap in ingredients and cooking methods. Pho D'Lite culls the healthiest all-stars from each region, starting with pho from Vietnam. Swimming with noodles and a variety of toppings and a choice of meat such as chicken, beef, or meatballs, the eatery's namesake soup shares space on the menu with loaded vermicelli and rice bowls topped with authentic curry and spices. Only the highest quality ingredients infiltrate each dish, including organic tofu, antibiotic- and hormone-free meat, and fresh produce.
The fragrance of sizzling spiced meats waft through the brightly hued dining room of Azteca Restaurant and Cantina, enticing diners as they sit at cozy tables and pull cornflower-blue napkins into their laps. Helmed by owners James Burick and Mario Orellana, Azteca Restaurant and Cantina titillates taste buds with generous portions of unusual yet authentic Tex-Mex eats. Diners can rev up their eating engines with the tamales de elote filled with creamy sweet corn before moving on to a beef chimichanga, a roundup of beef, beans, guacamole, and cheese in a tortilla big enough to blanket a replica of the Aztec pyramids. A sizzling plate of lobster-tail fajitas comes with chicken and beef, whereas the enchiladas monterrey provide a meat-free option resplendent with cheese and ranchero sauce.
Inspired by early 20th century chili parlors, Hard Times Cafe aims to preserve the tradition of delectable, hearty fare served in a friendly, lively community eatery. Elevate taste buds to new heights with an order of legendary grilled wings in one of five flavors, including original Texas, chili-lime, honey-barbecue, and eternity ($8.99 per order). Hard Times Cafe serves four distinct varieties of chili. The authentic chili mac is served over spaghetti with your choice of accouterments ($7.49–$8.89). Burgers, sliders, and chili dogs are easily transportable by hand or hovercraft, and savory steaks and other suppertime favorites provide more refined nourishment options. To reward you for your literary prowess, every Groupon reader who texts HTCGRP to 59925 gets an additional coupon good for one order of bar nachos. Combine this offer with a Groupon, or save it for a subsequent visit.
Owners Bruno and Jimmy fill Mamma Lucia's kitchen with housemade Italian family recipes. At each of the eight locations, chefs mix and match myriad pastas and sauces such as penne in pink sauce or chicken pesto ravioli in a creamy pesto sauce. Chicken and veal can be dipped in egg and sautéed in a lemon-and-wine sauce or prepared in any of 15 other ways. In the dining room, servers happily deliver New York–style pizzas to tables or to passing taxicabs full of lost Brooklyn residents.

Daily Debrief: Behind the bounce in Elmo Live's popularity Video Transcript
[ Music ] ^M00:00:04
>> This is Declan McCullough from CNET News. I'm here with Paul Levy of Public Citizen. Thanks, Paul, for joining us.
>> Glad to be here.
>> Paul is in Washington, D.C. most of the time. He joins us here today in San Francisco. He's here to argue a case before the Ninth Circuit. And his client runs a website. And the website uses the trademark of a Window manufacturer. His client sells these windows and hence the dispute. Paul, could you briefly summarize the case?
>> Well, the question in the case is whether the anti-cybersquatting law, which was enacted back in 1999 to deal with the problem of extortion at registration of domain names by people who don't have any legitimate use for them, should be stretched to apply to this case where essentially the window manufacturer has a trademark infringement claim. The advantage of suing under the cybersquatting law is that if they're successful as they were, they get awards of statutory damages without having to show that they actually suffered any damages.
>> And so in other words what you're saying is that the plaintiffs in this case, the manufacturer, are kind of misusing a law that was designed to go after or to prohibit something entirely.
>> Right. And because it provides heightened damages, and they prevailed on summary judgment on their cybersquatting claim even though the Court agreed that there were issues left to be decided on infringement. And our view is that this was a statute that was adopted for a narrow purpose. It should be applied for its purpose when it's appropriate, but that you shouldn't, basically, contort a statute that was enacted for something else to accomplish an objective that it wasn't enacted to obtain. If you want to change the law, go back to Congress or just bring your regular infringement claim.
>> Moving on to the YouTube and McCain copyright dispute. This was something that your organization took an interest in. The John McCain Presidential Campaign has used excerpts from news shows, news broadcasts, to illustrate some of its ads. And the news organizations don't always like this. And so then they say -- send takedown notices invoking copyright law to YouTube. And the McCain Campaign recently said, "Well, this is a presidential election. Let's -- essentially have special treatment." And YouTube said, essentially, "Well, no. Let's not do that." What's your take on the situation?
>> Well, you can understand the McCain Campaign's concern, and the Obama Campaign's for that matter as well, about having their political advertising taken down. And perhaps there's an argument to be made for legislating separately with respect to purely political speech. But we think this is really representative of a broader problem of the abuse of use of the DMCA to take down protected speech. And rather than carving out a special exception, which is tempting in the heat of a political campaign, it would be better to go back and fix the law so...
>> And so -- then what is your solution? Fix the law in what way? We've been -- we've celebrated, what, the 10-year anniversary of this? Has it been that bad?
>> There are certainly a number of cases that we've seen in our practice -- I can't come up with any specifics sitting right here -- but in our practice where people with perfectly legitimate uses of otherwise copyrighted material have put in small snippets that would be fair use in any sense of the word. But somebody wants to suppress the speech, and in order to suppress the speech, they invoke a copyright claim that they...
>> So then how do you fix the DMCA?
>> Well, I -- there are a few things that you can do that we've suggested. One is to provide that the material doesn't actually come down until there's been an opportunity on the part of the people who have put up the speech to respond. You could say that just as there are statutory damages for copyright infringement, perhaps there ought to be statutory damages for a wrongful takedown. Perhaps you should say that they have to give notice to the speaker as well as to the I...
>> Hosting service.
>> To the hosting service. Perhaps you should say that they should have to post their takedowns publicly. We had the Chilling Effects website, but perhaps there ought to be a government service. You could have user fees. Every time you send a takedown notice, pay into the takedown posting service and the price of doing a takedown is that you have to expose your takedown to the public. So that not only the person who made the speech, but other members of the public who might be amused or disappointed by the misuse of the statute by a powerful figure would then judge the figure accordingly.
>> Now, Public Citizen's not exactly a right-wing group, I think it's fair to say. You're affiliated with Ralph Nadar. Do you -- what do you think will happen if, say, an Obama administration happens. That is, if Obama's elected, how will that affect copyright law?
>> It's hard to say. I -- the one dealing I had with the Obama senatorial office, when we were fighting over the amendments to the trademark dilution law, they displayed -- and whether it was the staff or whether it was Senator Obama himself, of course, you never know -- but they displayed a sensitive understanding to why dilution law shouldn't be as favored as infringement law in terms of protecting the public interest. I wonder if the Obama administration will be better on copyright issues. Of course, that remains to be seen. The issue will have to be fought out in Congress. Now, obviously, there are some larger issues confronting the country. I can't imagine that this will be at the top of anyone's list of things that ought to get done. But I do expect that there will be a new Congress, a substantially different Congress. And there will be a lot of people looking to do a lot of new things, and I hope that we are able to put this on the agenda.
>> This is Declan McCullough for CNET News, with Paul Levy. Thanks for joining us. ^E00:06:18

Just because..
It is always nice to just pick up a brush and see where it takes you.
All of this will find it's way into something..
Sadly all of these pieces have owners now, so I will most likely never see them again.
Be well all!
Tuesday, June 4, 2013
The little guy and the escape artist..
Two pieces that I did recently and both of them have gone to very good owners..
One of them is the great Dr. Henry Pym.. What a great character, Mr. Pym is, or was..
I have not read his adventures recently, but I do remember the Mr. Pym that I grew up with. He was a resourceful man, lived on his wits and his intellect, and wanted to be a superhero so bad he would go through multiple identities during his career. That wonderful idea to shrink and communicate with ants was fun as hell. Considering that insects have so much bio mass on this Earth, one would think that a man who can control them, would really be one of the most powerful forces around.. How can anyone defeat this guy? Yet they laugh..
The other fellow is SCOTT FREE!! aka Mr. Miracle! What a name! One of my all time favorite Kirby creations!
Books can be written on this wonderful character. His birthright has been stolen from him, he has been forced to live within a system that crushes ordinary humans into dust. Still, Scott is so full of that living will for freedom, that not even Granny Goodness and her hordes can crush him. It is amazing mythology and one that touched me as a young man reading his exploits. I am a huge, Harry Houdini fan, and this was the perfect book for me, the ultimate escape artist, plus Gods fighting for the fate of the Earth.
Classic Kirby!
Enjoy all!

And they are up!!
Had a wonderful morning with all the amazing people that run the Ferragamo flagship NYC store on 5th ave. The windows are full of the graphic novel pages, and we had a fun press conference with some very gifted folks!
Take a look at the windows no matter if you are in Europe, Asia, the United States, even Russia, the Ferragamo stores will be having this great showcase of graphic novel, meets fashion.
Proceeds of comic book sales will benefit "Un Cuore, Un Mondo", a non-profit organization with the aim of promoting and supporting activities directed at helping children suffering from heart disease in Italy and around the world, with particular focus on developing countries, through care, healthcare assistance and charity work. Over seventeen years, "Un Cuore, Un Mondo" has supported more than 2,500 children and set up fourteen projects in twelve countries around the world: Libya, Eritrea, Kenya among many others.
It is a wonderful cause.
Here are some more pages of the graphic novel and others..
Here are some color studies I did. Just to understand the overall color of the pages
Above a color rough for some of the panels, and the finished page below..
A color study that never made it into the book but did set the tone for one of the panels.
Ferragamo's Hollywood years. I wish I could do an entire graphic novel on this part of his life..
One of the double page spreads in the book, Ferragamo leaving America and returning to, Italy.
Best to all of you!

So, like I was saying...
Hail Fellows, Well met!
Wow, it has been awhile.. So sorry that I been off the world of blog, but so many things kept happening that it was better to sit, concentrate and get the work out.
One of the wonderful projects that I can finally talk about was doing a graphic novel about the life story of Salvatore Ferragamo, the great Italian shoemaker, designer, artist.
It took about three months or so to write, draw, paint and get it all together. The artwork is now the property, and on display at the Ferragamo museum in, Florence, Italy.
I got back a couple of weeks ago from one of those mythological trips that a person takes once in a lifetime. Met some amazing new people, some wonderful artists, and got to tour, Florence and Bologna in a way that both unique and educational.
The graphic novel is at all the Ferragamo stores, or should be, by now, and the Ferragamo company has been amazing in that starting this week, all the stores around the world will change their window displays, and put up the pages of the graphic novel, so go out and take a gander.
Lots more to share, I have a couple of great pics of the Ferragamo Museum show, that I will post later.. no not next year..
But later.
Right now it is all about saying hello to all you artists out there, and getting back to posting every week something fun and new. Lots of painting was done in the last couple of months, so I hope you all enjoy some of the new work.
Here are some of the interior pages that were done.
Yeah, even high fashion needs Giant Robots..
And here are some pics of the exhibition at the Ferragamo Museum in Florence.
The wonderful Andrea Plazzi one of the magicians of Symmaceo publishing who with his support, along many others: this job sailed like a charm.
Unknown girl the day after the exhibit open.
All the sketches that went into the project was also part of the exhibit, so that one could understand how a graphic novel is put together.

the creature
Working faster than anything I have ever done before, sort of liberating!
Hopefully another couple of weeks and this thing will be done. Here are two illustrations from Frankenstein.
The first, is the scene after the creature has been created, Victor Frankenstein wanders almost naked through the cold rainy night, aghast at what he has wrought. Lost and scared, he is welcomed by an old friend who appears out of a carriage. One of the great themes in that book is the emptiness that comes after the long creation process. It is one of the reasons I choose that moment to illustrate. That feeling is something that artists, and writers feel first hand. More rain will be added later, right now time to move onward.
The other illustration is after the creature has told his version of events to his creator, Victor Frankenstein. I loved the description in the book where Victor talks about how fast the creature moves over the ice pack. We are so used to the slow moving monster, that we forget that Frankenstein is the first superhuman ever created. He is faster, stronger, smarter than any being on Earth.
Back to work.
My best to you all.

Washington Heights
Went out with my oils and sat on 187 and St.Nicholas ave, what a place.. it buzzes around with a life of its own at all hours of the day and night. I figure while I am here I should paint some of the Washington Heights area, since I am working on a book on it.
So I sat there, mixing and painting fast while people walked around, and thought I was nuts.. this was just after it had rained, so the clouds were moving west.
Anyway, I realize that oils is not the greatest medium to put in a sketch book, walking around trying to make sure the pages did not stick was a laugh. I am sure I will do that again, but be more prepared.
Best to all.
A quick homage in the wrong medium
Acrylics is really the medium for a Clifford Geary illustration, even though many of his illustrations aren't really painted, but to capture that flat abstract sense, Acrylics would be my choice. Then again I am working with oils on Frankenstein and was to lazy to break out all the Acrylics. A fun experiment. But in order to get that feel I would have to wait for it to dry and then hit it again, and who has time for that.. This is as much as I can do wet into wet with oils right now, thought I would share, I can't scan this stuff, I would be cleaning the scanner for days. So excuse the cell phone pic.
Its my lunch time quickie, and now back to Frankenstein.
I cut up and old box that was laying around and it works great for these quick oil experiments.

RIP Ray Bradbury
I had the great luck in my life of meeting one of the greatest Librarians that has ever lived.
One day I hope to write a story about her. She worked in PS. 189 at the top of Washington Heights. For some uncanny reason she took a liking to a nutty 8 year old kid who could not stand still, and kept drawing during the library period. and could barely read English. I guess she had two choices, hit me over the head with War and Peace, or feed me science fiction.
To my luck, War and Piece was over our age range and most likely not in the school library. So she gave me a copy of Sparks the Robot dog, it took a while to get the hang of it, but I loved that book. Soon afterwards came a copy of R is for Rocket, and Red Planet by Robert Heinlein. I devoured those books at such a rate that it surprised even me. For an extra treat the books had those amazing black and white illustrations by Clifford Geary that set my mind going. To this day I think he is one of the greatest kids book illustrator of them all.
When I had devoured all of Heinlein's books, I guess she had figured that my English was good enough to move on to the good stuff.
I was like some rabid junkie, going to her every week for a science fiction fix. It got to the point, I was reading so much, she talked to my teacher and I got to spend my lunch time at the library. It was heaven. Away from the kids that wanted to punch the living daylights out of me. I escaped into space.
One day I came in and, resting on her table was a copy of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles..
It was much tougher than the R is for Rocket books, but Bradbury took me out of the Washington Heights fire escapes and onto the soils of the Red Planet. It took me a while to understand some of the themes he was playing with, lucky for me, I had the best Librarian in the world, who would sit with me and chat over tuna fish sandwiches, the beauty of the Chronicles of the Martians, and Fahrenheit 451.
Today I did without my lunch break and instead did a quick oil sketch for Ray Bradbury.
He took me away and brought me back, he expanded the mind, which is what writing is best at. The man loved art, music and words, and may he rest in peace.
Thank you.
Maybe there is a tuna fish sandwich I can whip up. Just for old times sake.
PS. the painting was done on cardboard that was going to be thrown out, two coats of gesso and it was great to paint on, I actually like that big crease.
Best to all.
Monday, June 4, 2012
Hello Everyone!
Just wanted to share another page that I worked up, and this time I managed to catalog some more extra steps. Again this technique worked for this painting but it might not work on others. I will post in the future some other illustrations that had an entirely different thought process.
Again there is the rough small thumbnail.
As you can see its all big giant shapes, it had to be treated as such because there are so many characters, they have to be thought of us one solid mass. I made some small notes for my brain on the side with the colors that I needed to work with.
The next step is the pencils, here I put in a bit more work than usual, again because of the characters that I wanted to catch. I am letting the drawing evolve, putting in tons of stuff that later might change. The important thing running in my head is, how can I get the characters to read as a mass but keep their different traits.
Here is the raw umber underpainting, its just enough to keep it loose for me, and tight enough at this stage that I can tell who the faces are, at this point I take a break and walk away.. I find its always good to break and clear the eyes. I put some tape at the sides to clear the borders and I am ready to paint. I am not crazy about that blue tape, but I had run out of the other I used, and it was cheap and laying around. That blue can throw your values off a bit so its good to color correct as I go forward.
Now we have the first layer of paint, its all big and loose and the washes are applied lightly at first but with big strokes. My concern is to cover as much as I can right now and get rid of the white. Sometimes I would throw in an entire tone to to this, but in this case I decided to just move on with it. I did not want to sit around and wait for it to dry.
So I am working wet into wet, and moving forward. Right now, at this stage, one can give up, many times I have done just that. But this is Acrylics its very forgiving, so keep working on it.
Now here is the fun part, I have painted over things that I took time to draw, in this case the skeleton was bothering me, it took over the picture so I decided to leave it until the end. the same thing happens to the foreground bottles, and the blackboard, again my thinking is to keep it simple. So I concentrate on the figures and let things breathe.
At this point I break and walk away. Much thinking to be done before I can paint again, without thinking.
So finally I decide where the skeleton is going to go by just throwing the paint down. the glasses are moved to the other side. Again the decisions are based on instinct, and making sure the eye has an entrance point. At this point the painting is done, but.. there is more, the final painting will have oils on top, to smooth out some transitions and soften things up a bit. As soon as I do that I will certainly post it. Then again, it might be fun to see it when its all in the book.
Hope this helps, and more on the way. By the way Victor Frankenstein is the fellow with the bright scarf, I needed a visual hook for the audience to recognize, Victor from far away in other illustrations.
Have a wonderful day, its raining in NYC.. again.

Persoonlijk Persoonlijk"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"
April 5, 2012 – 11:13 am
It's a quote by Roald Dahl I pretty much live by. I've always believed in magic. When I was little I was perfectly fine playing with my dolls all day. We all lived a fantasy life, in a fantasy world, which was actually a little playroom at my parents house. Although I don't play with dolls anymore, that little girl is still me. I'm a dreamer at heart and I love it. Recently I decided to live my dreams and find that magic. That's why I would love to be blogging from Paris in a year or so. The most magical city of all.
