Not since the first decade of the last century have artists been as giddy about high technology as they suddenly have become in the first decade of our new millennium. Back then it was the Futurists, with their pledge to "sing . . . the slippery flight of airplanes" and "glorify war—the only true hygiene of the world"; today's buzz is all about software algorithms, "immersive media," and the superseding of the postmodern era by the "post-human" age. As recently confirmed by splashy new-media exhibitions on both coasts ("BitStreams" and "Data Dynamics" at New York's Whitney Museum and "010101: Art in Technological Times" at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art), artists and curators are embracing binary culture almost as deliriously as venture capitalists fell for dot-coms during the glory days of the New Economy.
There are, however, a few refreshingly cautious voices among the chorus of gee whizzes. "We're the slow people," says Houston-based artist Suzanne Bloom, who makes digital art with her personal and professional partner, Ed Hill, under the nom d'artiste "MANUAL." "We're always saying, 'Slow down. Think about it.'" That's an interesting admonition from a couple who have moved fast enough to remain in the vanguard of electronic art for more than a quarter century, a feat of creative endurance that will be chronicled next year in a major retrospective at New York's International Center of Photography. In their long progression from the world of the pocket calculator to that of the Apple G4 (the current processing engine at MANUAL's Heights studio), Hill, 66, and Bloom, 58, have been enormously influential as both artists and educators. Veterans of hundreds of solo and group shows throughout the world, they've shown an extraordinary gamut of work: still and digitally processed photographs, analog and digital videos, interactive CD's, site-specific installations, and interactive Web animations. As longtime University of Houston professors, they created one of the nation's first photography and digital-media degree programs there; in 1997 they established one of the pioneer Web sites for the display and archiving of digital, Internet, and interactive art, D.I.F. (Digital Imaging Forum, www.art.uh.edu/dif ).
But years before "virtual reality" entered the typical third-grader's lexicon, Hill and Bloom were suggesting that digital technology threatened "the destruction of the real." Passionately concerned not only for an endangered environment but also for our endangered identity as humans, MANUAL has produced technology with a warning label, an eloquent caveat of its social and even evolutionary consequences. "It's a Faustian bargain," Hill says of MANUAL's strategy to fight technology with technology. "We're not enthusiasts for technology. But we are seduced by it. We recognize its power."
For a virtual artist on the cusp of the post-human age, MANUAL's roots run surprisingly deep into the long-eclipsed modern era. Hill, a Massachusetts native, got his master of fine arts degree at Yale in 1960, under the tutelage of Modernist legend Josef Albers, the former Bauhaus pedagogue who pounded his rigorous color theory into a triumphant generation of American painters. But Hill was also influenced at Yale by the virtuoso figurative draftsman Rico Lebrun, and he spent the first decade of his career specializing in life drawing and printmaking. The epiphany that converted Hill to photography was Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 counterculture sensation, Blow-Up. "I saw the film the day it came out, on a Friday," he recalls. "On Sunday I went back and saw it again. On Monday I went out and bought a Pentax."
Meanwhile, Philadelphia-born Bloom was earning her MFA at the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied with Piero Dorazio, who had been a disciple of the Futurists. "Dorazio talked a lot about how we could approach our work as artist-scientists," she says. "Solving problems, making statements." Bloom's first camera was also a Pentax, bought for a European tour the summer before she began to teach painting at Smith College, in Northampton, Massachusetts. At the time an increasingly disaffected practitioner of pared-to-the-bone color-field abstraction, Bloom found that the new medium offered a way out of the reductionist box she had painted herself into.
Hill was already teaching life drawing and photography at Smith when Bloom arrived in the fall of 1970. Things got serious three years later when, in short order, the couple began living together, bought ten acres of pristine woodland in rural Vermont (where Hill had been photographing landscapes and where they subsequently built a house and now live much of the year), and started talking about collaborating. Within a few months, Hill says, "We were creating another entity that needed its own name. The conversation went something like this: 'We need a name that has multiple readings, something like, well, Manual.' 'Well, that sounds good. A manual for art. You do make art manually.'"
MANUAL's first major project occupied Bloom and Hill, though not exclusively, for the rest of the decade. Art in Context: Homage to Walter Benjamin was inspired by the German writer whose 1936 essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" prophesied the media age and accurately predicted that it would level high art. (Observing the rising hegemony of both Hollywood and Hitler, Benjamin noted that in the age of radio and film "the star and the dictator emerge victorious.") MANUAL translated Benjamin's gloomy forecast into a series of witty staged photographs and video images in which familiar art historical icons pass through the electronic looking glass. Rereading Velazquez (1975-76) replicates the Spanish artist's languorous The Toilette of Venus, but in MANUAL's version the "mirror" in which the reclining goddess admires her face is actually a framed video monitor, her image provided by a video camera on the tripod next to her couch. A quarter century after it was made, Rereading Velazquez now seems as prophetic as Benjamin's essay, a portrait of a narcissistic postmodern culture fixated on images of itself.
Bloom and Hill also got the jump on Houston's art boom when they arrived there in 1976, intending only a brief visit to former student Robin Cronin's newly

If you are student organiozation that wants to advertise your organization or event at the Ethnic Cultural Center, we want to help you!
To get started, send us an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com with the location, dates, and times of your event as well as anything that we request below
Just for starters, if you want to advertise on the screen by the front doors all you have to do is e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com a single slide Powerpoint. Make sure that there isn't too much text and that people get the basics of your event, and of course don't forget to say when and where. The most important thing though is that you remember to make the Powerpoint in widescreen (or 16:9) format, which you should do before you start making your slide or else the formatting will go out of control. You may change it (in Powerpoint '07) by going to the "Design" tab and then the "Page Setup" button, "On Screen Show 16:9″ is what you want to select.
Additionally, you can send us a poster in a common image format but it must be horizontally aligned and in a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio.
A lot of organizations have been asking us to advertise on our Facebook Fan Page. This is a really effective method to get the message out to people, and we are more than happy to help all of you advertise. Our fan page has been growing quickly since we created it and on average receives more traffic than our ECC Website, receiving more than one hundred page views per day!
If you would like to advertise with us on Facebook, send us your event link URL and let us know if you'd like us to post status updates with "@ Facebook tags" to your organization or event and we will make it happen!
Another way to advertise is to display an "event badge" on the home page of our website. The event badges are located (if there are any up at the moment) between our Facebook link and our Google Calendar, on the right hand side. If you would advertise here, we need you to submit to use a 400 by 100 pixel image with the event name, details, and graphics. Our Dia de los Muertos graphic is a good of example of quality and design that are required to advertise. Additionally, I will link the badge to your event web page, whether it is on Facebook or other places provided you give us the URL. We do take the image and quality of our website seriously, and we ask that any events that you do want to promote are located on campus.
If you have event posters we will post them on our bulletin board outside and other places in the ECC as well if you ask nicely! Just drop a couple posters at our Front Desk.
If you also want to advertise on our front display monitor at the Ethnic Cultural Center, send us a one page PowerPoint slide in widescreen format and we will be able to add it to the display queue for you.

On the Acoustic Impedance of Baffled Strip Radiators
There appears to be no available expression for the reactive (mass) term in the acoustic impedance of long baffled strip radiators, and the literature contains contradictory graphical data on both the real and the imaginary parts. Reliable data are important for the proper electroacoustic design of ribbon transducers, and also potentially for other long, narrow, low-mass planar radiators, both electrostatic and electromagnetic. Analytical expressions and graphical data are presented for the resistive and reactive parts of the acoustic load on an infinite baffled strip radiator.

How to Be a B2B Thought Leader in 11 Easy StepsPosted by John McTigue
Anyone can be a thought leader. All you need is a) thought and b) leadership. However, neither one of these is all that easy to acquire when you think about what thought leadership is all about. People follow and build relationships with thought leaders because they consistently provide interesting, helpful ideas. So, you have to come up with original, relevant thoughts fairly frequently and put them out there where people will find them. Let's look at some things you can start doing right now to accomplish the mission.

Hand-crafted One-of-a-Kind JewelryPosted: July 3, 2014 Filed under: Energy, Jewelry, |Ramble | Tags: Beauty, Diamond, energy, Flower, Four-leaf clover, Jewelry, Love, Thoughts, words Leave a comment
A friend of mine has just launched a Tictail online store for her hand-made one-of-a-kind jewelry and I helping promote her efforts. Please go take a look – and pass on the link to anyone that you think might be interested in her creations!
She writes:
Okay, beautiful people of facebook. It's that time of year – I need support. If you were thinking of sprucing up your jewelry closet, now is the time. Do you have a special event to go to? Perhaps you have a date coming up. Or you have a job and want to look prettier than your co-workers. Or there is a girl you're trying to impress. (you could always win a girl's heart with lovely jewelry.) Or you know someone who needs your support as she tries to get her little teeny weeny business off the ground. (Me! ) Whatever the case, I would really appreciate your help. And that's that. Happy Thursday to all!
Katie Star Needs a Hero (World Cancer Day)Posted: February 4, 2014 Filed under: Calendar, Days, February | Tags: Calendar, Days, wasting time, words 15 Comments
Someone left a comment on one of my pages about a little girl in Cambridge, Ontario in Canada. She is a 4-year-old who needs a small miracle to keep her heart beating. She is only one little girl among thousands of people that need help. But there is something you can do!
You can possibly help Katie with your stem cells – or perhaps one of the thousands of other people waiting for a match by going to onematch.ca and signing up to be a donor. And by encouraging others to be donors as well.
You can read the original article here
And I have pasted the text below from the http://cambridgecitizen.ca/katie-star-needs-a-hero-is-it-you/ by Scot Ferguson-Barber
4 year old Katie Star needs a hero. This 4 year old Cambridge girl is in desperate need of a stem cell donor. Go to onematch.ca for details on how you can help.
4 year old Katie Star Herron is battling cancer for the second time in her young life; and now only the gift of life from a stranger can help her win this fight.
Katie loves to participate in dance, music, gymnastics and art classes. She is a huge fan of all the Disney Princesses and loves having tea parties.
Katie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on August 6th, 2010. After 25 months of intense treatment that included numerous lumbar punctures, bone marrow aspirations, hospital stays, chemotherapy, steroids and 2 to 3 times a week hospital visits, Katie received her last dose of chemo in September 2012.
As the family celebrated the success of her treatment and her remission, Katie began to live a normal childhood. Her hair grew back and she started Junior Kindergarten in September 2013. Katie is a smart, vibrant little girl with an enormous loving heart. When she laughs it is contagious and her smile can light up any room.
On November 6th, 2013 the family's worst fears were realized. Katie had relapsed – her Leukemia is back. Katie was admitted into Hamilton's McMaster Children's Hospital and her parents have not left her side. Mom sleeps at the hospital with Katie, while Dad spends the nights close by at the Ronald McDonald House.
After the last 2 months of aggressive treatment, the family has now been informed that Katie's only hope for survival is a stem cell transplant. A world wide search for a donor has begun, as Katie's parents are not a match. Finding a donor is very difficult, so while Katie's in the hospital fighting for her life, the Cambridge couple is asking the community for help. Every single person who joins the registry could be a match for someone in desperate need of a transplant and help another family out there.
We hope that in sharing Katie's story it will be the catalyst that gets people out, for our little Katie Star and for the others who are waiting on a stranger to give them the ultimate gift.
Sorrow on Fire: The Clown is GonePosted: January 19, 2014 Filed under: Award, Depression, Schadenfreude, |Ramble | Tags: Blog, Ethics, moving ahead, Thoughts, words, Writing 40 Comments
The world is complicated and cruel. I made this post after finding ClownonFire.com had vanished. This is my opinion of that blog and the blog posts. Since then I have learned there is a back story of tremendous hurt. I stand by what I have written in the context I wrote it – a lament for creative talent shredded. At the end I have added links to sites that contain some of the tragic back story that consumed the blog and the blogger."
Today I discovered ClownonFire.com is now a blank screen. An Internet Dead-end. The place that proudly proclaimed "BECAUSE EVERY DAY IS FUCKING MAGICAL™" had ended the magic. And I am brokenhearted.
This is what I retrieved from the Google Cache for his Final Post:
Nothing is forever, and we are driven by our own demons, and ghost, and memories, and sorrowful clowns. Those inner memories and personas make us who we are, make us do wonderful and wise things. And make use suddenly veer of the path into uncharted waters. Read the rest of this entry »

"I think that, in the sense that if I disparaged Robert Gershman, and I think I probably did, then I apologize because I have come to know him and I think he's an honorable guy," Aronberg said. He was referring to comments he made accusing Gershman of being the person behind news stories critical of Aronberg this summer. "He's running for the right reasons."

text: One of the trends that I've seen with people who don't have a great credit score and who have experienced some financial setbacks is that banks don't really want to do business with them and it's hard for some people to open accounts at major financial institutions. One of the beautiful things about capitalism is that when there is an unmet need, enterprising business people step in and create a service to meet that need. For this growing area, an unlikely business has stepped in to meet this need…pawn shops! Yes, that's right. Pawn shops! Read more

Siberian Husky Puppies For Sale
Siberian Husky Adults For Sale
Garrett, PA 15542 814-634-1801 (text or call)
Nestled in the heart of the Laurel Highlands in "America's County" lies Siberians of Ravenwood. With over 200 acres of beautifully wooded land we and our Siberian Huskies enjoy hiking and dog sledding through some of the most breathtaking country in Pennsylvania.
Siberians of Ravenwood has been in operation since 1999. Having moved to the country we decided to look for a new winter activity that our entire family could enjoy. Being animal lovers all of our lives it just seemed natural to try dog sledding. We were immediately hooked. It didn't take long for the "Potato Chip Syndrome" to take hold of us.
Having a natural love of dogs and a college background in Animal Science it was inevitable that our lives would take a turn in the direction of becoming breeders of Siberian Huskies.
We believe a working dog is a happy dog. Our Siberian Huskies are involved in sledding, conformation, search and rescue and the print and film industry. We have two Siberian Huskies that were in the Walt Disney movie "Eight Below" and an Akita that is trained for Search & Rescue.
Our Siberian Huskies are bred from top foundations with adherence to the AKC standard. All the Sibes in our breeding program have been carefully selected and only those that are genetically sound in structure and temperament are used. Careful thought and planning goes into each breeding.
Updated on 11/21/14.
We now offer full AKC registration (show/breeding rights) to approved homes.
We also offer stud service to approved females.
When you call please leave a message. I am usually out with my dogs and I will return your call ASAP. Thank you.
Next litter due first week in December! If you are interested in a pup please email me to be put on a waiting list. No $ needed to be on this list. I will personally email you as soon as they are born. To see parents of this litter click on "Puppies Available".

PHILADELPHIA — Andy Reid was welcomed back to the sideline with a standing ovation and chants of "Andy! Andy! Andy!"
Then the Philadelphia Eagles gave their grieving coach a small reason to smile. Reid coached the Eagles just two days after his 29-year-old son's funeral.
Alex Henery kicked a 51-yard field goal with 12 seconds left to lift the Eagles to a 24-23 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their preseason opener Thursday night.
After the Steelers went up on Daniel Hrapmann's 42-yarder with 1:57 left, Trent Edwards led the Eagles (No. 8 in the AP Pro32) back on an 11-play drive to set up Henery's kick.
Rookie Nick Foles threw two long TD passes to help the Eagles overcome a 13-0 third-quarter deficit.
Ben Roethlisberger was sharp in his only series for the Steelers (No. 7 in the AP Pro32). He led the offense on a 16-play scoring drive in the first game under new offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
Michael Vick escaped injury after banging his left thumb on center Jason Kelce's helmet, and took a seat on the bench after the offense went three-and-out in his only two drives.
ATLANTA — - Baltimore backup Curtis Painter threw three second-half touchdown passes.
Atlanta's Matt Ryan led two touchdown drives, including a scoring pass to Julio Jones, before Painter took over.
Ryan completed 9 of 13 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He was 5 for 5 for 71 yards, including the 7-yard touchdown pass to Jones, on the opening drive for Atlanta (No. 13 in the AP Pro32).
Joe Flacco completed 9 of 12 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown for Baltimore (No. 5). The Falcons led 14-0 before Flacco threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Ed Dickson midway through the second quarter.
Ravens safety Omar Brown, an undrafted rookie from Marshall, had two fumble recoveries and an interception.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — - Will Smith crunched Tom Brady from behind, forcing a fumble in the first quarter. It may be the Saints defensive end's biggest play for a while.
One of four players punished in New Orleans bounty scandal, Smith was suspended for the first four regular-season games. So Thursday night's sack of New England's star quarterback was a highlight in the Patriots lackluster 7-6 win in their exhibition opener.
John Kasay had a chance to give the Saints (No. 9 in the AP Pro32) the lead, but his 41-yard field goal attempt went wide to the right with 3:07 left.
Brady left after two series and 15 plays and finished with four completions in seven attempts for 30 yards.
New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees also played two series, lasting just six plays. He was 1 of 4 for 4 yards in his second exhibition game.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — - Robert Griffin III needed only three passes on his third and final drive to show glimpses of stardom in his much-anticipated NFL preseason debut Thursday night.
After a muffed handoff and no first downs in his first two series, RG3 found his rhythm by completing his final three passes for 58 yards, capped by a 20-yard touchdown to Pierre Garcon.
It was an eventful cameo appearance for the Heisman Trophy winner, who was drafted with the No. 2 pick out of Baylor. Griffin finished going 4 of 6 for 70 yards and a lost fumble.
Defensive end Mario Williams made a debut of his own for the Bills (No. 19) in his first game since signing a six-year, $100 million contract in free agency in March. Williams, the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, and the Bills' new-look defensive front was solid in limiting the Redskins to 11 yards and no first downs in the first two series.
SAN DIEGO — - Shannon Eastin became the first woman to officiate an NFL game and Philip Rivers had a touchdown, an interception and a fumble in limited action for the Chargers ( No. 16 in the AP Pro32). Rookie Jarrett Lee got most of the action, throwing for 235 yards and a touchdown.
Eastin broke the NFL's on-field gender barrier by serving as the line judge for the seven-man crew of replacement officials.
She helped oversee a predictably ugly preseason opener by both teams, filled with fumbles, interceptions and missed assignments.
Aaron Rodgers had an interception and a fumble in three series for the Packers (No. 1).

May 19, 2009
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (D.C. Metro) debuted an animated video featuring a "flight attendant" offering tips for safe and efficient travel.
In Metro's latest video, "If Trains were Planes," the animated flight attendant "welcomes" passengers abord Metrorail and "thanks" them for riding the service.
The roughly three-minute, animated video is modeled after the "brief safety presentations" seen on many airplanes. After welcoming riders, the Metro "flight attendant" informs passengers about courteous behaviors that make for a more pleasant trip for everyone, including using headphones while listening to music; keeping conversations at a reasonable volume; and observing the no eating, drinking and smoking ban. She also points out the priority seats near the middle doors, which are intended for individuals with disabilities or senior citizens.
While humorous in tone, the video also delivers important safety messages. It reminds riders not to block train doors, and draws attention to the emergency exits and evacuation instructions posted inside railcars. In the event of an emergency, "remain calm and listen to crew member instructions," the flight attendant says.
Visit METRO TV to view the video.

2012 Apocalypse, the Rapture and Other Millennial Delusions

Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The following is reprinted with permission from Religion Dispatches. You can sign up for their free daily newsletter here.
The far left and the far
right agree on many things: mainstream politics doesn't matter, hidden forces control our destiny, and, in case you hadn't noticed, the world is about to end.
For the spiritual left, of course, the due date is December 21, at which time various Mayan calendars may or may not have predicted a global transformation of epic proportions. (Mayan elders have recently pointed out that it's transformation, not destruction, that's in store.) From what I can tell, with one foot in the New Age world, 2012 chatter seems to have died down somewhat. But there are still plenty of true believers.
On the religious right, the world basically ended already, on November 6, with the reelection of a Kenyan Muslim Socialist to the presidency of the United States. The degree of the tragedy depends on the degree of the extremist describing it. For Republicans, it was a rude awakening—though judging from the ways the GOP has blamed the defeat on Hurricane Sandy, Chris Christie, improper voter turnout in black neighborhoods, or anything other than the reality that most Americans preferred Obama's ideas to Romney's, many have chosen to remain asleep. For those of a more conservative bent, it was inexplicable: doesn't America watch The O'Reilly Factor? How could we all be so confused?
But for the hardcore, this defeat was much more than that. The "march to Socialism," which has been plodding along, on and off, since the 1930s, is now a phalanx. But more than that: given the right's rhetoric about the Obama administration's "war on religion," his reelection looks like nothing less than the anointing of the Antichrist. If I seem to exaggerate, consider the literally apocalyptic rhetoric coming out of the Rutherford Institute (one of the leaders of the right's new movement to protect 'religious liberty'), the National Organization for Marriage, Alan Sears, Donald Wildmon, Glenn Beck, or many of the pundits on Fox News.
Millennialism, as I've written about previously at Religion Dispatches, is the general term for the belief—religious or secular, but usually religious—that a massive global transformation is imminent, from Christ's Second Coming (the "millennium" refers not to the turn of 1999–2000 but to the thousand years during which Christ will reign on Earth) to the messianism of a Sabbetai Sevi or David Koresh to, well, 2012.
We err if we suppose that all millennialists march around with banners proclaiming that the end of the world is nigh. As scholars have rightly point out, millennialist thinking is found in Islamism, Marxism, and many other political theories which inspire real action in the real world. Not all millennialists are quietists; on the contrary, like the Aum Shinrikyo cult in Japan, which unleased Sarin gas in the Tokyo subways, many take matters into their own hands, often with tragic results.
One of the most important, if subtle, transformations in American public life, for example, was the shift in evangelical thinking from post-millennialism to pre-millennialism, which took place gradually from the end of the 19th century to the end of the 20th. Post-millennialists believe that there's not much we can do to affect when Christ returns; the world will just keep getting worse and worse, and eventually He'll come and rescue us. The millennium comes after he does. Pre-millennialists, on the other hand, believe that we have to prepare the way. We must reform our society as the kingdom of God on Earth, and only then can Christ return. In this view, the millennium comes first.

ABS-CBNNews.com reports that the United Nations (UN) Secretary General's Special Representative on Disaster Risk Reduction Margareta Wahlström "extended her sympathy to the people of Mindanao in the Philippines, following the great loss of life resulting from tropical storm Sendong."
At the same time, Wahlström pointed out: "There are many lessons to be learned about risk management from this tragedy. The first is that more must be done to ensure early warning systems are effective in an age when climate change is intensifying the impact of typhoons. The storm was identified two days before flash floods swept through Cagayan de Oro City and Illigan City. More must be done to educate people on disasters and climate change so they understand the risk they run when they refuse to heed warnings and do not evacuate on time."
Wahlström further noted that people should make an effort "to understand the deadly cocktail of exposure and vulnerability created by poverty, rapid urbanization, and deforestation."

For those who won't be among the 2,000 sitting down to dinner on St. Paul's Victoria Street on Sept. 14 for Create: The Community Meal (read the story here), consider re-creating the meal at home with these recipes, adapted from the chefs behind the event.
Serves 4.
Note: This recipe must be prepared in advance. Adapted from SunnySide Cafe chef/owner James Baker for Create: The Community Meal.
1 tbsp. paprika
1 chicken, cut into pieces
1/4 c. low-salt soy sauce
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp. freshly grated ginger
1 tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
1/4 c. honey
Rinse chicken in water and pat dry, using paper towels. Rub paprika on chicken. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, ginger, pepper and Old Bay seasoning. Arrange chicken in a non-metallic baking dish (using one that just fits the chicken), pour marinade over chicken, cover and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375. Remove cover from chicken and bake 40 minutes. Remove chicken from oven, brush with honey and bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer baking dish to a wire rack to cool chicken for five minutes, and serve.
Serves 8 to 10.
Note: Adapted from Shegitu Kebede, co-owner Flamingo Restaurant in St. Paul. "The Flamingo Restaurant only serves this dish when green beans are in season," writes Seitu Jones of Create: The Community Meal. "The green beans in the Fosolia for Create: The Community Meal will come from the Hmong American Farmers Association."
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
2 1/2 lbs. green beans, halved and ends trimmed
1/2 lb. carrots, peeled and julienned
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
1/4 jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, slowly saute onions until caramelized. Add green beans, carrots, green pepper, red pepper, jalapeno and garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper, transfer vegetables to a platter and serve.
When a restaurant is as firmly entrenched in the city's dining-out psyche as the Modern Cafe, it's easy to take it for granted.
But given its influential track record, the restaurant that everyone shorthands to "the Modern" deserves better. Ever since the day in 1994 when Jim and Patty Grell opened their contemporary diner in the home of the beloved Rabatin's Northeast Cafe, the Modern has played a key role in reviving the neighborhood and the Twin Cities' food-and-drink scene.
Twenty years in the restaurant industry is a milestone worthy of a major celebration, and the Grells are delivering just that, with a series of celebratory dinners taking place every night this week.
From Tuesday through Friday, the kitchen is setting aside its regular menu -- sorry, no pot roast -- and preparing a special six-course dinner. The evenings' dishes have been created by previous Modern chefs, who will also be spending specific evenings back in their old stomping grounds. Here's the rundown, dish-wise and chef-wise:
* Salmon with sweet corn polenta, yellow tomato puree and puffed farro salad by Phillip Becht of the soon-to-open Victor's on Water. Becht was at the Modern from 2003 to 2011, and he will be appearing Tuesday.
* Pork and beans, by Mike Phillips of Red Table Meat Co. Philips was at the Modern from 1995 to 1998, and he will be appearing Wednesday.
* Potato gnocchi, with pork confit and brown butter hollandaise by Scott Pampuch of the University of Minnesota. Pampuch was at the Modern from 1996 to 2003, and he will be appearing Thursday.
* Walleye egg rolls with dill and ginger kimchi, by Matt Morgan of the Bachelor Farmer. Morgan was at the Modern from 1994 to 1996, and he will be appearing Friday.
* Creamed corn, with smoked green tomato creme fraiche butter by Ella Wesenberg, who has been the Modern's chef de cuisine since 2009. She will be appearing Saturday.
* Dessert will include Donnay Dairy's Granite Ridge Chevre, Ames Farm honey and house-made chocolate truffles.
Price? A very Modern-esque $55. No reservations.
"It has been really fun to get all these chefs together," said Jim Grell, adding that each is going to contribute an amuse-bouche or two on the night they visit. "Mike is going to bring his slicer in, he's got a four-year-old prosciutto," said Grell. "And Matt is set on making Ritz crackers with peanut butter and pickles."
The bar will feature cocktails prepared with 45th Parallel spirits (including a demonstration on Saturday from the distillery's Scott Davis) and beers by Fulton Brewery.
On Saturday, the focus is taking a major turn. "We're going to scrap the entire menu and make fried chicken," said Jim Grell. All of the details haven't been hammered out just yet. "We're still kind of putting it all together," he said. "But it's going to be cheap, and we'll be doing great sides, too."
Grell added that he has one hope for Saturday's festivities. "That the plumbing will back up," he deadpanned. "Like it did on the very first day, 20 years ago. At least this time, I'll know what to do."
Realistically, you could be serving mini-hot-dogs on a stick and they would still be a delight when served in the stunning gardens at the Minnesota Arboretum, which held its Toast and Tastes fundraiser last night under a sunny sky with balmy temperatures.
Nonetheless, those at the gathering had far better dining options -- in fact, the best in many years of the festivities. Here were some of the highlights:
Shrimp chorizo with fennel, from chef Hakan Lundberg of the Minneapolis Club, topped my best-of list. Unexpected (ground up shrimp, shaped), fun (on a stick) and really tasty (I had to grab a second one, just to be sure it was as good as the first!).
A close second: carrot-cured hamachi sashimi with apple and radish from The Rabbit Hole (Midtown Global Market). Served with sparkling lychee kombucha. Wow. Make that two wows.
Duck breast with farro, pickled rhubarb and kohlrabi puree, with a chocolate bouchon on the side filled with passion fruit panna cotta, from chef Scott Graden of the New Scenic Cafe in Duluth.
Housemade roasted andouille sausage with two sauerkrauts on brioche from chef J.D. Fratzke of the Strip Club (St. Paul).
Korean glazed pork belly on-a-stick from chef Scott Pampuch of the University of Minnesota (Arboretum Catering).
And the flowers and greenery, of course.
It seems fitting that a booze mart will be opening in a newspaper building, given the indelible image of hard-drinking journalists with a pint in their desk drawers in such films as "His Girl Friday."
Except that when Revival Wine Beer and Spirits opens in the classic St. Paul edifice known to many as the Pioneer Building, there will be no journos in the house (the Pioneer Press offices moved a block or so away years ago), and this store will cater to a more upscale crowd than us ink-stained wretches.
The man behind the store, slated to open in mid-May (with a public tasting slated for May 20), is Jeffrey Huff, who started the charming Little Wine Shoppe in St. Anthony Park a few years back. This "shoppe" will not be "little": 2,200 square feet compared to 300 for his former store. "My walk-in cooler's almost bigger than the Little Wine Shoppe," he said with a chuckle.
But it should be just as personal. Huff has been building cabinets to protect his inventory from getting too much light in a space with "massive windows."
"The space is just amazing," said Huff. It's on the second floor of the Pioneer Endicott Building, which dates to 1889 and had been empty for a few years when Richard Pakonen of Pak Properties bought it, largely for residential usage.
Some of the 230 new luxury apartments are already occupied, and the Minnesota Museum of American Art will be taking up the entire first floor. Huff, who will be the first commercial tenant to open, named the store after the building's architectural style, Romanesque Revival.
Huff said his store will be heavy on craft beers and the emerging artisan distillery world, and that the wine selection will be focused on quality and value. "I know the demographics of who's down there," he said. "But I knew the demographic in St. Anthony Park, and that didn't quantify into selling high-end wines."
Regardless, he's excited to be in "an absolutely beautiful space" and has gotten comfortable with its size. "I guess you start small and get bigger. That's the goal, right?" Huff said. "This is all the bigger I want to be."
Savor Minnesota isn't for everyone, I guess. But here's who it is for: those who figure Minnesota-made wine is not so good, but have an open mind about it. Or those who preach "local, local, local" when it comes to food but not wine.
The fifth annual event, slated for April 26 at Canterbury Park, will find 20 Minnesota wineries pouring their wares from 1 to 5 p.m. I can vouch from experience that the stuff from Cannon River, Chankaska Creek, Saint Croix, Carlos Creek, Sovereign and Woodland Hill is absolutely worth checking out, and I'm looking forward to sampling fermented grape juice from Buffalo Rock, Forestedge Winery, Garvin Heights, Goose Lake, Indian Island and others.
At the very least, those who still pooh-pooh the state's wines should check out the Marquette from whoever is serving it. And they also can quaff some beer from August Schell, Summit and Mankato Brewing, not to mention bites from a score or more food purveyors. And if nothing else, you'll come away with a free wine glass.
Tickets are $45 at the door, $40 in advance at Northern Vineyards in Stillwater or at SavorMN.com.
Attendees can buy up to six bottles of wine before departing — the better to change the minds of friends who are blasé, or worse, about the rapidly evolving local wine biz.

How to spread a water-plague:
1 sabrina diamond, Fri, 22nd Mar '13 6:58:25 PM from inside my own belly... Relationship Status: A cockroach, nothing can kill it.
The Plague called Tibetan Muscle Deterioration, which strikes within days. I need to somehow transfer that same disease from a village in Tibet to the main water supply of a city, which seems harder than expected seeing as I have little experience writing The Virus stories. The college students are Amari Baker (and her overseas brother), Maria and Vivian Jones If there are any other ways to spread this plague, I'll gladly listen to any other commentary

Eye'm the cutest!The city is downstream from the Tibetan village. Water-borne parasites follow the water. Where you shit it goes and even if the wastewater is treated before being sent back into the river or out into the storm drains the pathogen is likely to follow. Water-borne diseases are among the most virulent in the world, if not THE most virulent in the world. (Just look at the prevalence of malaria and cholera vs chicken pox and some forms of influenza. The first two are widespread wherever there is water especially untreated/unsanitized water.)

Actually, malaria is spread by insect vector - namely, mosquitoes. Aside from that, Tom's pretty spot on about how virulent waterborne infections can be; with cholera and norovirus being the classic examples. Speaking of insect vectors, that could be an alternative solution to spreading the disease. Namely, the insects breed at a particular water source before they mature and spread the disease. Back on the subject of waterborne infections, it might be worth a ponder figuring how you want your disease to work. How does Tibetan Muscle Deterioration cause muscle deterioration? Are the muscles breaking down? Why? How? As can be seen by my examples, waterborne infections have a tendency to cause gastrointestinal problems - diarrhoea and vomiting (D&V) - which isn't all that surprising, since that's where the pathogens are introduced and frequently sit in the host's body. However, there are some viruses such as Hepatitis A that do regularly cause non-D&V related symptoms. Something to consider is that some pathogens cause symptoms not by their presence alone but through the production of toxins (chemicals) that react with host cells, causing the latter to produce an inappropriate response. In addition, there's a condition/symptom called "rhabdomyolysis" which is the rapid breakdown of (normally damaged) skeletal muscle. It has a variety of causes, some of which do include bacteria and viruses. Just food for thought, really. Hope this helps and happy writing.

A Wizard boyA small note of pedantery: The Virus is about zombies and thing that turn you into One Of Them. It's not about real viruses. To my understanding, something akin to poliomyelitis but with muscle cells and not nerve cells might do the trick.

Actually, malaria is spread by insect vector - namely, mosquitoes.And the easiest way to combat mosquitoes is the remove the water from the equation. Drain standing water, treat existing water supplies and more. (Though you ultimately have to get rid of the mosquitoes water or no water.) It's what we do to combat West Nile in Colorado. (In addition to going DEET happy and limited pesticides.) You can't do much about the rivers and lakes but you can do a lot about water pooling in roads or on roadsides, outdoor water collection and drainage and more. That method also helps counteract water-borne diseases.

A Florida appellate court has reversed a final judgment of foreclosure due to lack of standing. Linda Zimmerman appealed a final judgment of foreclosure entered against her in favor of JP Morgan Chase Bank. She raised multiple issues on appeal; but, JP Morgan Chase Bank conceded error on the issue of standing. The Court stated that standing in any mortgage foreclosure proceeding is a crucial element and must be established at the inception of the lawsuit. When it filed the lawsuit, JP Morgan Chase Bank attached to the complaint a photocopy of appellant's promissory note and mortgage listing Washington Mutual Bank, FA, as the lender. Over one year later, in support of its motion for summary judgment, JP Morgan Chase Bank filed the original note containing an undated endorsement in blank, but failed to file any evidence establishing that Chase obtained possession of the endorsed note prior to filing the complaint. The Court held that because JP Morgan Chase Bank failed to submit any record evidence proving that it had the right to enforce the note on the date the complaint was filed, a material issue of genuine fact existed as to whether Chase had standing at the time the lawsuit was filed, precluding entry of summary judgment. The appellate court instructed the trial judge that JP Morgan Chase Bank must show that it was the holder of the endorsed note on the date the complaint was filed. By contrast, the court said, if the evidence shows that the note was endorsed in blank after the lawsuit was filed or that JP Morgan Chase Bank was not the holder of the note on that date, then Chase had no standing at the time the complaint was filed, in which case the trial court should dismiss the instant lawsuit and Chase must file a new complaint.
Zimmerman v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 1832 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 4th Dist. Feb. 12, 2014)
