Sonia is pictured in this Facebook notice about Jennifer Lee's film, Feminist: Stories from Women's Liberation. She is in the center of the first row flanked by Gloria Steinem and Heather Booth.
Sonia's letter of April 16, 2014, to Bishop Frank J. DeWane, bishop of the Venice, FL diocese, is on the blog of Bridget Mary Meehen.
Sonia's memoir included in Holocaust Remembrance Day program, April 27, 2014.
Sonia's late brother, Hermann Pressman, began keeping a diary on his 18th birthday in Berlin, Germany, on July 21, 1932, in German shorthand and kept it thereafter in Berlin; Antwerp, Belgium; and the Bronx, NY, where he concluded it on Nov. 29, 1935. He subsequently translated it into English, with the help of his granddaughter, Debbie Linick. The English translation runs 668 pages. The German original and the English translation were donated to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Steven Lasky, who started and maintains the online Museum of Family History, edited the diary and the edited version is available at the Museum's Web site.
The book, Jews of Sarasota-Manatee, by Kim Sheintal (Arcadia Publishing, Feb. 2013), contains a 2002 photo of Sonia in front of a sign about the Jewish Genealogical Society (JGS) of Southwest Florida (p 25). Sonia gave a talk to JGS on March 2002.

Summer 2008: Congratulatory letters from the presidents of Cornell University and the University of Miami (FL)
From July 2008 to mid-April 2011, she served as a Commissioner of the Sarasota Commission on the Status of Women.
Sonia was honored October 30, 2007, by the Veteran Feminists of America (VFA) at a program at the headquarters of the National Woman's Party, the Sewall-Belmont House, in Washington, D.C., as one of one hundred forty pioneer feminists who lived or worked in the Washington, D.C., area from 1963-1975 and made significant contributions to women's rights. She was honored by VFA again at a June 9, 2008, program at the Harvard Club in NYC as one of thirty-six feminist lawyers, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who made significant contributions to women's rights in the 1963-1975 time period.
National Organization for Women (NOW)
Sonia is included on NOW's history website (She is number 8 in the picture of the attendees at the Oct.1966 meeting). Not all of those pictured were founders.
For several months beginning at the end of 2009 and continuing through the early part of 2010, Sonia did research on the founders of NOW as there was no definitive information on how many there were, who they were, and how many of them survived. On March 10, 2010, her article on her conclusions entitled, "The Founders of NOW," was published on the community blog of feministing.com
Sonia concluded that there had been forty-nine men and women who founded NOW at meetings in June and October 1966. The largest number of founders (fifteen) came from the Washington, DC, area (Washington, DC; Virginia, and Maryland). New York State was next with thirteen, and Wisconsin third with eight.
In July 2012, Sonia decided to update her 2009-2010 research. Her conclusions as of July 31, 2012, forty-six years after the founding of NOW, were that there were nine surviving members (18% of the founders), the oldest of whom, Mary Lou Hill, would turn ninety-five in the fall of 2012. Next was Dr. Carl Degler at ninety-one.
Information on NOW's founders and early strong supporters, with pictures, based on Sonia's 2009 and 2010 research and conclusions, plus some further information from 2011, is available on NOW's website.
See Sonia, discussing the founding of NOW on the Audio/Video Links page (click on the 'Video Links' tab near the top of the page). This interview was conducted by filmmakers Jamie Spooner and Carolyn Mayes in February 2010; their website is icarevillage.com.
Museum of Family History
The Museum of Family History has textual material and photographs about Sonia and her family. To access it: go to the website, type "Sonia Fuentes" in the Search rectangular box on the right-hand side at the top, click "Search" and if the box titled "Site Search" appears, click on that.
Sonia was featured in the August 5, 2004, issue of the University of Miami Alumni E-Newsletter (she is an alumna of the law school) as follows:
Featured Alumna Sonia Pressman Fuentes Leader of the Women's Movement Isn't Slowing Down
For most immigrants fleeing Nazi Germany in the early 1930's, America was a land of freedom and opportunity that usually came with the price of hard times and hard work that left little room for philosophical or social conviction. Not so for Sonia Pressman Fuentes, JD '57, who even today is continuing to work hard in support of her convictions. Fuentes is one of the most lively and active feminist public speakers and authors today, not allowing herself to rest on the laurels of her past accomplishments or slow down in the twilight of her life. From being the first female attorney in the Office of General Counsel at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to being one of the co-founders of the National Organization of Women (NOW), Fuentes continues today to be driven and energetic in her pursuit of women's rights. Recently, Sonia has been traveling the globe and continuing her experiential education in culture, society, and the arts. She has also spoken on behalf of candidates supportive of the women's movement, and will be featured in an upcoming documentary by Jennifer Lee regarding a revival and the second wave of the women's movement. Her memoir, Eat First. You Don't Know What They'll Give You; The Adventures of an Immigrant Family and their Feminist Daughter continues to be a popular and inspirational selection for all people in all walks of life...
The first screen of the online exhibit of the Jewish Women's Archive entitled "The Feminist Revolution," shows a picture contributed by Sonia taken at the organizing meeting of NOW in the basement of the Washington Post building on Halloween weekend in October 1966. Sonia is seated one seat away from Betty Friedan, who is seated at the end of the front row on the right.
This exhibit includes seventy-four Jewish women who contributed to women's rights in the U.S. Sonia's write-up is here.
For the Washington Jewish Week article on the six Washington, D.C., area women included in the exhibit, click here.
"Sonia Fuentes writes about an unexpected range of subjects, yet somehow they remain always linked to her roots in the Yiddish world of Eastern European Jews. Once that is understood, the traditional interconnections between her several worlds make perfect sense as one woman's reflection on the ways in which family, society, culture, and political engagement have always lived in creative tension--whether in the world of Fuentes' forebears or in the exciting one of our own." -- Tom Freudenheim, then-Deputy Director, Jewish Museum, Berlin, Germany
"I love your book. It arrived yesterday, and as I began to check it out, I couldn't stop reading it. The business of Jewish geography really got to me. As a rather unreconstructed, chauvinist Jewish girl from Milwaukee, I have played the 'Do you know' game all my life. Often with great success and pleasure. Thank you for sending the copy to us. I am so pleased to have it for our collection." -- Barbara Haber, Curator of Books, Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America (at Radcliffe College)
An excerpt from Eat First, called "Coming to America," is included in the anthology Matzoh Ball Soup, A Collection of Personal Stories, Poems, and Rabbinical Sermons That Inspires the Jewish Spirit, by Oliver Kramer and Joshua Kramer, published in November 2002.
Eat First was required reading in the spring 2000 semester in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University in a course on writing about minorities (including women) in America. Ms. Fuentes gave talks to two classes at Cornell in April 2000. In the spring 2001 semester, Eat First was required reading at American University in Washington, D.C., in a course on Writers in Print and in Person.
In 2000, Sonia lectured on "How Being an Immigrant Shaped My Life" at Cornell University and thereafter gave varying versions of that talk at other venues. Articles on that subject have appeared in: 120 HIAS Stories, a book published to commemorate the 120th anniversary of HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) (July 2002), Women in Judaism, a Multidisciplinary Journal (April 2006) (available in html and pdf formats), the Sarasota-Manatee Jewish News(January 2007), the website of the Museum of Family History, and Der Bay, the newsletter of the International Association of Yiddish Clubs (Vol. XX, No. 1, Jan. 2010).
Ms. Fuentes is also included in Women of Achievement in Maryland History, a reference book published in October 2002 and distributed to public and private schools, libraries, religious institutions, and private service organizations in Maryland.
Eat First was recommended in May 2000 by Ofrah's Jewish Book Club. Click here to read the review.
Eat First is one of the listed books for the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press.
There is a 7-part piece entitled "The Making of a Jewish American Feminist: Sonia Pressman Fuentes," about Eat First and Ms. Fuentes at About.com.
Fuentes was one of nine authors who have published e-books who were profiled in the May 2001 issue of Publishing Success, a publication of the Writer's Digest. Click HERE to read the interview online.

5. Mountain Brownies - Fly Fishing for Big Brown Trout - In this episode of FLY TV, Niklaus Bauer and Daniel Bergman travel with helicopter far out to the Ammarnäs mountains together with their guide Ulf Johansson from Ammarnäs Fishing Centre on a trout fly fishing journey. Their quest is to catch big brown trouts in a small mountain lake where extremely few people fish each year. Due to the hot weather they also bring two belly boats to be able to seek the fish in the deeper parts of the lake, where the water is a little cooler and where probably no one else has ever fly fished before... They start out with streamers and sinking lines and later in the afternoon they try out the dry fly fishing. They also try to catch the big predatory trouts on mouse and lemming imitations in the surface and when the first brownie take the lemming as if there were no tomorrow, the joy is complete… For more information about the fishing in these lakes: http://www.ammarnasfishing.com Note that there are English subtitles that can be automatically translated to any language (if you're watching on the computer or in the YouTube app). - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher

9. And on into Spring... - I collected a lot of footage over the past month. I wanted to wait to make another video (people seem to be watching them, thanks!) until I had at least one large brown trout. I have been wading all winter, trying to get better at fishing from the banks, as fishing from a boat is just a different game. My streamer technique really improved due to this. In a last-ditch effort to get one large brown, I took my little pontoon out to try and increase my chances on a big river with lots of big fish. I went to the MO, got skunked, lost an oar stop and snapped my eight weight. I was much more upset about the skunking. I didn't let it get to me, though, and my plan for the next trip was to just enjoy myself. I had only my six weight with me, and it was quite nice to have one rod and one mindset: just catch a fish. The wind picked up as soon as I hit the Lower Madison, and the water was muddy. It took me a while to realize that the fish are still not in fast water (despite its depth) but with the mud they seemed to be perfectly happy in shallow frog water. My first strike of the day was a rod's length in front of me and a 20 inch brown to boot. Before twenty four hours were up, I had two more, each bigger than the last. The next day I sped to the Upper, was the first to hit the water and jammed a sandwich down my throat as I approached a favorite run (I was too excited to fish to cook breakfast, so I ate my lunch). I like to make a few practice casts before hitting the main run. I remember being ready: I ate my sandwich; I marveled at the clear water; I slowly crept up to within casting distance but stayed far back from the fish; I was rested and alert. One cast, two cast, three and all of a sudden a twenty-three inch brown trout is three feet in the air, looking buttery in the sun. It was all I could do to keep him out of the fast water. He had two of some fisherman's nymphs in him, which I was happy to extract--sucks to be that guy! Later that day, around five thirty, I got another one. At this point I just stopped fishing. I regret this, because those days are so rare, but I really felt like I was being greedy at the time. I went to my truck and cooked my neglected breakfast for dinner. How's that for a life lesson? (Take failure in stride, and prepare for rewarded patience and dedication). Thanks, fishing! - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher

Why I Believe
Why I Believe is a program that explores conversion and why we as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe in certain principles of the gospel. Conversion stories are shared by individuals who have had their lives touched and have become converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and doctrines and principles of the gospel are explored.
John Wudel discusses his conversion to the gospel. He was a student attending BYU in the 1960s and didn't know it was a "Mormon school." Nancy Wudel talks about the 14 years she worked as assistant director, and then director, for the Mesa (Arizona) Easter pageant.

Even Superheroes Need Substantiation
As part of its ongoing probe of questionable claims involving kids' health, the FTC announced a $2.1 million settlement with major dietary supplement marketers for allegedly deceptive claims that their products promote healthy brain and eye development in children.
The FTC charged NBTY and two subsidiaries, NatureSmart and Rexall Sundown, Inc., with making misleading representations about the amount of DHA – an Omega-3 fatty acid – in their line of Disney- and Marvel Heroes-licensed children's multivitamin gummies and tablets.
For example, the front panel of the Disney Princesses Gummies featured a pink crystal heart that said with DHA*. The asterisk refers to a statement on the side panel that read *DHA is naturally found in the brain and the eyes. 100 mg promotes healthy brain and eye development. **One serving provides 100 mcg of DHA. Thus, according to the FTC, a daily serving of the multivitamin for four-year-olds actually contained only 1/1000th of the 100 mg amount – 100 micrograms or 0.1 milligram. The FTC's lawsuit also charged the companies with making unsupported claims that a daily serving promoted healthy brain and eye development in kids.
The products featured a veritable Who's Who of the kindergarten set, including Spider Man, Captain America, Ironman, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Cinderella, and characters from the movies "Finding Nemo," "Wall•e," "Toy Story," and "Cars." Parents bought the vitamins at national chains like CVS, Kroger, Meijer, Rite Aid, Target, Walgreens, and Walmart.
In addition to $2.1 in consumer refunds, the settlement bars the companies from:
- misrepresenting the amount of any ingredient in any product; and
- misrepresenting that any ingredient – including DHA – promotes brain or eye health or provides any other health benefit, unless the claim is true and backed by competent and reliable scientific evidence.
Details of the refund program for people who bought the Disney and Marvel multivitamins will be announced soon. Consumers looking for the latest info on refunds in FTC cases can find it here.

Istanbul Twilight Candlesticks by Siba Sahabi
Designer Siba Sahabi has created the Istanbul Twilight candlesticks, and will exhibit them at MINT during London Design Festival 2012.
Description from the designer
The candleholders, made of felt, are dedicated to the metropolis that connects Europe and the Middle East. The shape of the candleholders are directly inspired by the silhouette of Istanbul. The use of colours reflect different shades of light on city facades at dusk and dawn.
Choice of material is based on a certain characteristic of wool: it doesn't catch fire. The felt is cut into long strips and then coiled by hand into circles, like a snake. The candleholders are completed with a candlepin.
Designer: Siba Sahabi
Photographer: Maayan Ben Gal
One Response to "Istanbul Twilight Candlesticks by Siba Sahabi"
Silas Gordon on 22 Aug 2012 at 12:02 pm #
Pretty awesome design for a candle. I've never been to Istanbul unfortunately but hopefully some day I will make it there. Love the blog!

They had the hottest chick at the dealership, turns out it was her dads place and he was not around for a few days. She was dressed in a super hot red dress and looked like she was ready for business. We made a deal with her to come play with us for pay, she was all about it. This freak really knew every way to work the cock, you dont want to miss out on all the hot fucking.

Serves 6
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- twelve 1/3-inch-thick diagonal slices of French or Italian bread
- 1/2 cup crumbled Roquefort (about 2 ounces), softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cups torn frisée (French or Italian curly chicory), rinsed and spun dry
- 4 cups torn arugula, rinsed well and spun dry
Make the toasts:
Bake the bread slices on a baking sheet in one layer in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden. The toasts may be baked 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container. They may also be baked at the same time as the croutons for the pea soup. In a bowl cream the Roquefort with the butter and spread the mixture on the toasts.
Make the salad:
In a large bowl whisk the vinegar with the mustard and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the frisée and the arugula and toss the mixture well to coat the greens with the dressing. Season the salad with pepper, divide it among 6 salad plates, and arrange 2 toasts on each plate.

Lifetime has released the first five minutes of its upcoming Saved by the Bell expose, The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story, and it's exactly what you would expect. Well, except for one minor thing.
Season 5, Episode 26
Zack is one credit short of graduating. He dances in Swan Pond to get the credit. Screech lets Jessie be the valedictorian, even though he earned it all before the gang finally graduates.
Season 5, Episode 25
Mr. Belding shows a tape of the highlights of the life of the class of 1993 to five students in the class of 2003; a flashback episode set in the future.
Season 5, Episode 24
The kids want to leave their legacy to Bayside and decide to have a contest to come up with a new school song.
Season 5, Episode 23
The kids watch after Slater's (Mario Lopez) lizard (his best friend) and the lizard dies. When they try to replace the lizard with a replacement, things do not go according to plan.
It's finally here: Lifetime has released the first trailer for its upcoming Saved by the Bell expose, The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story.
If you thought Lindsay Lohan as Liz Taylor was the worst Lifetime could do, you were sorely mistaken. The first clip of The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story has arrived and is set to spit on your childhood.
Scoop on returning fall shows
The sneak peek features the Saved by the Bell cast bickering during a photo shoot. Or at least, we're supposed to believe they're the cast. It's as though the casting directors didn't even try. (A blonde wig does not a Zack Morris make.) However, because of this — and the fact that Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison" plays almost in its entirely — the clip only makes us more excited to watch this train wreck.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar disputes his Saved by the Bell co-star Dustin Diamond's claims that the show was one big drug-fueled orgy behind the scenes.
"Everything I've heard about his book is that it's very negative, and I don't remember those things," Gosselaar told HuffPost Live this week.

Marry Me, or Else?
Dear Sherry:
I've been dating my boyfriend for three years -- we're both nearing 40 -- and he keeps saying he's not ready to get married. I'm at my wit's end. Do you think I should try an ultimatum: Give me the ring or I'll give you the heave-ho?

Sherry is the author of The Q&A Dating Book and Love Lessons from Bad Breakups. She has taught dating seminars, appeared as an expert... Read more
Dear Betsy:
Before I answer your question, I'll pose one. Do you remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? The townspeople, tired of running to help a child who was only testing his power, refused to come to the rescue when they were really needed.
Moral: Only give him the marry-me-or-I'm-outta-here spiel if you're willing to actually walk out the door. If he says, "Sorry, sweetheart, I love you but I'm still not ready to get married," and you cave, he won't take your next ultimatum seriously. (You know, the one you REALLY mean.)
Three years is certainly long enough to remain in romantic limbo. If you're willing to go for broke, give your boyfriend a deadline of, say, three months. If he doesn't produce the ring by the agreed-upon date, you haven't "lost." You've simply gained the knowledge that it's time to move on with your life.
Best of luck. Let us know what happens.

|Happy Customer! from Denver, Colorado would recommend this to a friend.
|A Little About Myself
Friend and caregiver
Beautiful, not bulky, easy to use the control even for someone who has never used an electronic device. Raises slowly so the person doesn't get dizzy when standing up. A petite chair for a petite person. Wonderful!
|Service & Delivery
Arrived sooner than expected. Courteous delivery service
Basing my purchase only on the rave reviews of others on the website and the customer service rep, Taylor, I ordered the Pride GL-358P Lift Chair from lift-chair-store.com. The 91 year old lady I care for (4' 10") has never even owned a TV or radio and didn't know such a chair existed. She has had the chair now about a month and LOVES it! She never returned to her bed after it arrived. She sits in it and sleeps in it. For her, it is a dream come true. No more dizziness when she stands up, no back pain or leg cramps she used to get when in her bed. The control is easy for her to use, unlike the big handle she used to try to pull on in her reclining chair. It's beautiful and she couldn't be happier. It arrived much sooner than expected in perfect condition. We had to get help to assemble it though, but worked perfectly immediately. Customer Service was excellent. Thank you!
|Unbelivable chair

Haven't found anything that is negative.
|Service & Delivery
Fast delivery, and very easy to set it up, also by moving the controls to the left,(I only have control of my left hand ), this was a God sent items, that made my life so complete. A thousand times. - Thank-you.
I can't describe the way I feel or looks, it's so comfortable. I just don't want to get out of it, Plus It has made my life so much easier, I can't describe it in words.

When is your shipping deadline?
If you have a pair of skis with the newer type of bindings, you may find that they are too tall at the binding heel piece to fit in a single ski bag. To check this, we suggest you put the skis together as if they were going in the bag and measure the height from the top of one heel piece to the top of the other. Then compare it to the width (or diameter if it is round) of the bag. If it appears the bindings are too tall to fit into the bag, we offer the following suggestions:

Update-- Power has been restored to all but 5,000 Austin Energy customers. Repairs are expected to be finished Monday evening.
Earlier-- The number of Austin Energy customers without power has jumped to 18,000, according to the power utility company.
Austin Energy said the outages are "very widespread" and repairs are needed in several hundred locations.
No estimates can be given for when power will be restored.
Earlier-- High winds are keeping emergency personnel busy Monday afternoon.
More than twenty Austin Energy crews are scrambling across the city to restore power to 10,000 customers currently without service, thanks to high winds throughout the Austin area.
Ed Clark, a spokesperson for the utility company, said that repairs are needed in about 150 areas. Clark said all customers without power should report that outage to (512) 322-9100.
The strong winds and dry conditions have prompted a Red Flag Warning for wildfires.
Responders with the Austin Fire Department are currently battling a brush fire along Farm to Market 973, northeast of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Several mulch piles at the Hornsby Water Plant ignited due to internal heat and the heavy winds.
Several flights to and from the airport have been cancelled due to the weather. All American Airlines flights after 2 p.m. (seven departures and seven arrivals) are cancelled.
High winds are also to blame for damage at a North Austin business center Monday. Emergency officials say wind gusts of up to 45 miles-per-hour helped to bring down a brick facade on the side of the building in two parts.
Crews were called to the building on the 9400 block of Burnet Road after the first part of the wall collapsed around 11:30 a.m.
After the scene was secured, the second part of the wall was taken down by a gust of wind.
City inspectors have been called to investigate, but AFD Battalion Chief Palmer Buck said he's comfortable that the structure of the building is intact.

HoopsHype Lavoy Allen rumors
When asked if Aldemir was comparable to anyone in the NBA, none of the scouts I talked to could really give an example. I then posed this: "Could he be as good an NBA player as, say, Lavoy Allen?" The one response I got that wasn't no: "If he could get himself to be as good as Lavoy Allen, that would be a very big improvement for him." Philadelphia Inquirer
"We just learn from our mistakes. We watch film, we watch a lot of film," said Lavoy Allen, who joined the Pacers last February. "I think we watch more film than we actually practice." Indianapolis Star
C.J. Miles and Damjan Rudez signed contracts Friday, along with a holdover from last season, Lavoy Allen. Miles, a 27-year-old, 6-6 shooting guard who has played nine NBA seasons, hit 39 percent of his attempts for Cleveland last season, and 38 percent the previous season. Rudez, a 6-10, 28-year-old Croatian who has played in Europe for nine seasons, hit 52 percent of his three-point shots in 16 Eurocup games for Zaragoza last season, and 44 percent in 36 ACB league games. NBA.com
The Indiana Pacers gave unrestricted free agent Lavoy Allen an early wedding gift by working out a new deal to bring him back to the roster. According to his agent, Allen, a 6-9, 255 pound reserve center, and the team agreed to a contract early Saturday morning. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, however the short-term contract should not affect the team's ability to re-sign the top priority, starter Lance Stephenson. The Pacers have already offered Stephenson a five-year, $44 million deal, which has not been accepted as of Saturday. Indianapolis Star
Chris Broussard: Source: Pacers reach deal with Lavoy Allen to bring him back to Indiana Twitter @Chris_Broussard
Candace Buckner: #Pacers have not extended a qualifying offer to Lavoy Allen, I've learned. That will happen after developments with Priority No. 1 Twitter @CandaceDBuckner
Lavoy Allen, Donald Sloan and Solomon Hill will participate in the Pacers' rookie/free agent camp from Tuesday-Friday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and in the Southwest Airlines Pro Summer League in Orlando. The first game will be Saturday against Brooklyn with assistant Dan Burke serving as head coach. Indianapolis Star
Scott Agness: Lavoy Allen plans to attend Pacers rookie/free agent camp next week. One source expects him to play on the Summer League team. Twitter @ScottAgness
The conversation lasted so long that reporters-on-deadline had to bail without interviewing certain players. I wasn't watching the clock, but understand this: I was able to to pop a squat on C.J. Watson's abandoned seat and hold at least a 10-minute discussion with Lavoy Allen and Evan Turner on such serious topics as Gamble and Huff music and Dr. J's enormous hands. … and by the time we were done, the spontaneous meeting inside the coaches' lounge still had not dismissed. Indianapolis Star
The Indiana Pacers announced Thursday they have acquired guard/forward Evan Turner and forward Lavoy Allen from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for forward Danny Granger and a future second round draft pick. NBA.com

Spinach Cakes
Next time you're caught up with a bunch of spinach (or leftover mashed potatoes) you don't know what to do with, make some spinach cakes. They're tasty and nutritious. We love them topped with smoked salmon or a fried egg!
Getting hungry just writing this…
Yield: 6 CAKES
Prep Time: 15 TO 20 MIN
Cook Time: 15 MIN
1 pound Russet potatoes
1 small yellow onion
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces fresh spinach leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or 1/4 cup flour)
1/3 cup rolled oats (optional)
Olive oil for frying (about ¼ cup)
Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes. Place them in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Place in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, grind the onion and garlic in a food processor. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, turning occasionally, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Chop the spinach finely with a chef's knife until it resembles an herb jam.
Add the chopped spinach and the rest of the ingredients to the mashed potatoes. Mix well with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Shape the mixture into cakes 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter.
Heat the frying oil in a large skillet. Cook the potato cakes over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, 7 to 10 minutes per side.

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert thought his side deserved something for their efforts after losing 2-1 to Newcastle at Villa Park.
Goals from Papiss Cisse and a Yohan Cabaye wonder-goal condemned Villa to their fourth home league defeat in a row, leaving them languishing in the bottom three.
However, Christian Benteke's second-half penalty seemed to revive the home side and they missed several chances to equalise late on, with Lambert keen to focus on that fightback.
"I have never seen a standing ovation after a game in which we have been beaten, but it shows you the effort." he said.
"We never played well in the first half, but I couldn't fault the players in the second half. We changed it around. Some people can hide behind tactics, but the game is about players.
"The first goal was really poor. But second half we looked like we could pull it back. The response gives us hope, because it's in our capabilities to go and do that. Credit to them [his Villa players] in the second half. They came out and they were relentless, but it was too little too late."
The former Norwich boss hinted that he may be able to bolster his squad before the end of the transfer window, but refused to reveal any names.
"Money dictates and the situation hasn't changed in the last month. I don't know. I'll just see what the next two days bring," he added.

Prochoicers Took a Hit to Help Pass Heathcare Reform -- It's Payback Time Now
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
If healthcare reform becomes law, you can thank prochoicers. In the end, forced to decide between sacrificing abortion coverage and voting down coverage of everything else for 30 million people, abortion-rights supporters took the hit. Prochoice representatives, who had vowed to vote against any bill that restricted access to abortion more than the infamous Hyde Amendment has already done, will have reversed themselves and voted for it. (Don't kid yourselves, the Senate bill is a major blow to abortion rights. As antichoice evangelical David Gushee told followers stuck on Stupak: "Accept victory while you can get it.") NARAL, Planned Parenthood and NOW stepped back. You can call prochoice leaders hypocritical or cowardly or feeble or excessively deferential to the president's agenda. But one thing you can't call them is selfishly obsessed with their own political purity. That would be the antichoicers--the Catholic bishops, Bart Stupak, Ben Nelson. They were the big evil babies who were willing to let millions suffer and 45,000 people die every year unless they got to deprive women of their reproductive rights.
The way I see it, the Democratic Party and the Obama administration owe supporters of women's rights a huge payback for cooperating on its signature issue. Some suggestions:
§ Full funding for Title X, the only federal program dedicated to supplying reproductive health services to low-income women and men. Title X started off with a bang under the Nixon administration--back when Republicans like George H.W. "Rubbers" Bush thought family planning was a good idea--but for decades it has been allowed to stagnate. The 2009 budget added $7.5 million to the previous year's $300 million for the program--but that's still less than half the rate of thirty years ago, after adjusting for inflation.
§ Full speed ahead on the Paycheck Fairness Act. Obama got a lot of credit for making the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act the first bill he signed into law as president, but it only restored women's right to sue for pay discrimination to the status quo ante of the Supreme Court's drastic ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear . If women are to get equal pay for equal work--a goal just about everyone professes to share--we need laws with teeth, which the PFA has.
§ Confront maternal mortality. A shocking report just out from Amnesty International details the doubling of the US maternal mortality rate over the past two decades. More than 700 die every year; during 2004 and '05, 68,000 nearly died, and one-third of pregnant women--1.7 million annually--suffer complications. At 13.3 deaths per 100,000 live births, the United States is in forty-first place internationally; for black women it's a staggering 32.7--down there with Mongolia and Bahrain. Causes? Fragmented care full of barriers to access for low-income women, lack of information, lack of contraception and abortion (sorry, "prolifers"), overmedicalization. Amnesty calls it a human rights crisis and has put together a long list of proposals, including the establishment within the Department of Health and Human Services of an Office of Maternal Health with a mandate to improve maternal care and outcomes. Let's have it.
§ Pass CEDAW. Jimmy Carter signed it back in 1980, but the United States is one of a handful of countries that have not ratified the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The others? Sudan, Somalia, Iran and a few Pacific islands. Despite the fact that Congress has burdened CEDAW with no fewer than eleven reservations, nearly all of which were placed there by Jesse Helms to please Concerned Women for America and other antifeminist and Christian groups, it still hasn't come to a vote. So pass it, already--and Helms is dead, so dump the reservations. Don't have the votes? Vote on it anyway. American women should know which senators think we should have fewer human rights than women in nearly every other democratic country in the world.

Deputies say 30 iPads stolen in Valley Center school break-in; Loss estimated at about $15K
Burglary at Oak Glen High School
VALLEY CENTER, Calif. - About 30 iPads were stolen from Oak Glen High School in Valley Center, a San Diego sheriff's sergeant said Sunday.
Deputies were dispatched to Oak Glen High School at 10:20 p.m. Saturday to investigate unusual noises inside the closed campus at 14172 West Oak Glen Road, said sheriff's Sgt. Joseph Ellis.
Deputies conducted a systematic search of the entire school with the aid of a canine, Ellis said.
Deputies discovered the school's perimeter fence had been compromised and one of the classroom doors had been unlocked, he said.
"It was determined that approximately 30 iPads had been stolen during the burglary," Ellis said. "The total loss is estimated at approximately $15,000."
There was no suspect information, he said.
Anyone with information is urged to call the sheriff's non-emergency line, at 858-565-5200 or you can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 by calling Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
This is the fifth school break-in involving iPads in San Diego County in a month.

As a member of the planning committee for UXCamp Ottawa I would be remiss not to invite you all out to uOttawa on November 27th to chat UX with both new and long-time practitioners, designers, developers, marketers and other creative types. Sign-up now if you want to reserve your seat. Registration just opened a few days ago and there are already over 50 people signed up.
What is User eXperience (UX)?
For the purpose of this event, we're using a fairly broad definition. This is a community event organized by volunteers so it's pretty inclusive of "anything and everything else about creating better products and better experiences." Of course Wikipedia has a more descriptive definition if you're still wondering.
What's going on in Ottawa?
So, on the (almost) eve of World Usability Day, what are the UX issues people are talking about here in Ottawa?
Dmitry Nekrasovski, Interface designer at OpenText, presented in October at the Agile Ottawa meet-up about the fit between UX and Agile processes.
Never one to mince words, Cornelius Rachieru posted soon after about the pitfalls of UX in an Agile environment and how to avoid them.
If you're interested in the somewhat more academic side of Human Computer Interaction, hanging out with the CapCHI chapter might be for you. I noticed on the board at Code Factory that the next event is November 16th.
Speaking of academia, Ottawa's also lucky enough to be a HOTbed of research with our very own Human Oriented Technology (HOT) Lab at Carleton University. I hope I'm not stealing anyone's thunder here, but in addition to undergrad and graduate programs in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) from the School of Psychology, I hear that Carleton will soon be offering an inter-disciplinary Masters degree in HCI. More to come on that I guess since I couldn't find a link anywhere.
Anyway, all that to say that it's been a real pleasure to discover the bright and passionate UX practitioners right here in our own backyard. There's a real community budding in Ottawa – come be a part of it.

And on the 11th day, the ADE Ghana team rested. We spent the first half of the day at the beach, eating and goofing around. From there we went to the market and put our negotiation skills to the test. Satisfied with our findings, we returned to the IDE offices and kicked back, and that night we made curry and ate our last meal together as we planned our journeys to the airport.
With that our trip drew to a close. Since arriving 11 days ago, we sold a grater of the new design, refurbished one already deployed, expanded our contact book of potential buyers, and co-designed press interaction with our users. We also thoroughly tested and validated the name of the grater, defined more clearly the grater's role in chop bars, and investigated the possibility of mobile money payments and franchise modeling.
Looking ahead, we really need to finish deploying the grater venture, so that we can focus on the press more. To do so, the next team must focus more on sourcing, quality control, and larger scale manufacture and distribution. Regarding the press, we gained a lot of information that will be applied to the next iteration of the press, so that we'll definitely have one for Auntie Akosua next trip.

Mission Statement
Mission Statement: Our mission is to exceed the expectations of our customers. We will strive for honesty and fairness. Our store is where we want your family to come.
Showroom Design and Layout
We merchandise our showroom into types of vehicles and appropriate clothing/apparel to go with that riding style. For example, close to the dirt bikes and ATVs you will find the off-road riding apparel, including gloves, helmets, goggles, pants, boots, protective gear, etc. In that area you will find signage identifying each product and its intended use. You will also find several lifestyle images, with some even of our own employees and customers. (We have posters of them printed and mounted at a local printing company).
We have all of the ladies' casual and street apparel grouped together in another area of the showroom. Ladies like to have their own "section" which they feel they can shop around in. Helmets, boots and gloves are grouped together. We found that if these are separated too far away, sales are lost. Women are less likely to search around and even ask a male associate for help, so they need to be drawn to those products (helmets, boots and gloves) and then appropriate signage calls out which ones are women-specific. A portion of the women will even end up purchasing a "male" helmet or pair of gloves.
Service Department
We have six service bays for our three full-time technicians. Since we have begun to do several trike conversions, we have found it necessary to have extra bays for them to spread out in. We recently re-organized all of our tires and created a tire "wall" separating our work area from the customer area.
Customers like to see a well-kept and clean service department, but at the same time we need to keep them out of it for safety and liability reasons. We have found that this false "tire" wall works well, allowing customer to view the area, but not allowing them to easily walk back to the technician. There is a service office with a desk for the service writer and an entrance into the back warehouse, service department and outside. Customers can enter into the service department from the outside door or from the inside parts showroom. In this service office we have a monitor showing service and parts specials, upcoming events, as well as a digital service menu.
Training and Employee Motivation Practices
Every month we do different spiffs in the sales and parts department in addition to hourly or standard commission. One month it may be Arai helmets and Continental Motion Tires, and the next month it could be GoPro cameras and exhaust systems. It all varies on inventory levels, season, demand, etc. This allows the salesperson to have an incentive to sell it, learn it, use it, etc.
Another thing we do is partner up with vendors to get employees good deals on products we sell so they can use them personally. We have found personal experience and testimony can be great sales techniques that are invaluable. We try to take advantage of every distributor's sales training as well. Our Tucker Rocky rep comes in every Friday and sometimes joins in on our weekly parts/sales meetings to teach product knowledge of new or seasonal products.
Commitment to Customer Service
We strive to give each employee enough empowerment to please the customer and handle situations that come up. Employees are allowed to use their personal discretion to make the customer happy, which allows for quicker and easier problem resolution. For larger issues, department managers must get involved, but for smaller problems, each employee is empowered to handle the situation as they see fit.
In our weekly meetings, we teach skills and role play to make sure employees know how to handle these situations. We also strive to go above and beyond traditional customer service. All phone messages are returned within an hour -- something that you will not find in many motorcycle dealerships! Emails are returned, customers are called and emailed as parts come in and service tickets are done.
Involvement in the Community
We sponsor several community events and rides throughout the year. This past year, we started our own charity ride that benefits a local animal shelter. We raised over $4,000 for the shelter through our signups and silent auction. The ride was in memory of an owner of our family's other store, Dreyer Motorsports, who passed away last year.
