Last week, Mecklenburg County commissioner Trevor Fuller had finished a phone interview with WBT's morning radio show and still had the station streaming online at his desk at home.
It was the day after the board elevated the Charlotte lawyer and first-term at-large commissioner to chairman – opting not to go another year with Pat Cotham at the helm.
Suddenly, "The Keith Larson Show" came on, and Fuller heard host Larson talk about Fuller's promotion:
"He was saying, 'So Trevor Fuller is the new chair of the county commission. Who is this Fuller guy? I've never heard of him,'" said Fuller, 46. "I get it. I am the newest of the new on the board in every respect."
Indeed, Fuller did ascend from political obscurity to one of Mecklenburg's most influential posts.
After arriving in Charlotte in 2000, he'd had little involvement in the local Democratic Party.
Fuller joined the local Black Political Caucus in about 2005, but had been inactive in recent years as he built his law practice.
Still, he's always been fascinated with politics and public service.
"It's an occupational hazard of being a lawyer," Fuller said. "I'd thought about running earlier, but the timing then wasn't right. Last year, it was."
Yet even campaign manager Dan McCorkle, who'd been involved in local Democratic Party elections for 30 years, didn't know Fuller when he asked for help.
"He was as fresh as he could be," McCorkle said. "He'd been active in the (black Mecklenburg) bar association. But as a Democrat I'd never come across him before."
Growing up in two worlds
McCorkle, like others, was struck by his eloquence and drive – traits long aquired.
Fuller was raised by his mother, Laura Mays, in a working-class Buffalo, N.Y., neighborhood. He was older brother to three sisters. His father, a former Merchant Marine, moved away from Buffalo when Trevor was young and ran a soul food restaurant in Detroit.
Father and son had a relationship, but mostly during summers.
So it was Mays, Fuller said, who pushed her children to work hard and excel in school and hired a piano teacher to train Trevor for several years.
As a boy, he played soccer and basketball, but gave it up for his favorite competition – debating and public speaking – as a student at Nichols School, a private prep day school where he'd won a full scholarship after sixth grade.
"That school was the most transformative experience of my life," he said. "There was a clear difference at Nichols from the public schools. It was interesting to be transported on a daily basis between two different worlds."
Mornings he'd board the bus with the other neighborhood children. When they got off at the public school, Trevor rode alone to Nichols, where he was elected student body president his senior year.
There, English teacher Richard Stratton pushed students to write with power and precision. Doug Parker, another English teacher and debate coach, recruited students with big voices.
"He'd say you've got to be distinguishable when you talk," Fuller said. "You can't just say things without passion, without feeling. Who notices you when you're merely listing off points? He knew the key to winning – you don't win tournaments being just like everybody else."
At one tournament, the debaters had to a deliver a speech from someone in history. Fuller chose Mark Twain's 1882 talk called "Advice to Youth," and won a national award for dramatic interpretation.
On his own, he'd read how-to books on powerful speaking.
That success led him to think about how he could use his skills to make a living.
So armed with an English degree from Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., Fuller started law school at Georgetown Law near Washington, D.C.
'Much opportunity here'
In his final year, he met second-year student Camille Davidson of Oxford, Miss. She was drawn to his "big personality."
"He was ambitious," she said, "... but nice."
They dated, even after he graduated in 1992 and returned to Buffalo to practice law at the Phillips Lytle law firm for four years.
By the time they married, Davidson had clerked for a judge and was a legal counsel for the U.S. House. Fuller had to make a decision: "I couldn't make this Mississippi woman move to Buffalo. So I went to D.C."
He worked two years for a firm that included former U.S. Sen. Birch Bayh, and then broke off on his own. After son Jackson, now 14, was born, they began looking for a city to raise a family.
They chose Charlotte.
"There seemed to be so much opportunity here," Fuller said. "I wanted to be involved in the life of a city."
So in 2000, the young family moved themselves and Fuller's fledgling law firm.
Pondered run for commission
Soon after they arrived, Fuller met Charlotte lawyer Michael Barnes, who'd run his own firm since 2000, and the two talked about merging their practices.
In April 2005, they opened Fuller & Barnes LLP. That year, Barnes also won a seat on Charlotte City Council.
Fuller, too, pondered running for office.
As Barnes got more entrenched on the council, Fuller grew more interested in running – but felt the firm couldn't sustain two politicians.
"He had a fascination with politics because of my experiences on the council," said Barnes, now an at-large member and mayor pro tem. "He asked a lot of questions about it, and he had a strong curiosity about the political experience."
Fuller thought about a run for county commission, but decided the timing wasn't right. By then, Fuller was father of two young children and he was building a practice.
They lived in Ballantyne, in longtime Republican commissioner Bill James' district.
"I quickly disabused any notion of running head to head against Bill James," he said.
Then in 2011, at-large commissioners Jennifer Roberts, Jim Pendergraph and Harold Cogdell decided not to go for another term.
Fuller talked to friends and people involved in politics and filed in February 2012. A month Fuller & Barnes LLP dissolved, an amicable parting, both say.
Campaigning "was out of his comfort zone," said his wife, a Charlotte School of Law professor. "But he understood it was necessary to serve the community."
Campaign manager McCorkle knew his new client had no experience and faced "a steep learning curve." He was concerned.
No time to rant
But then McCorkle heard "that voice."
"Many candidates are intelligent, but don't know how to speak," he said. "There was no learning curve with Trevor. He could talk off the cuff. He was knowledgeable. And he was eager."
In a 2012 primary of 12 Democrats, Fuller came in third. That November, he finished third again among at-large winners, behind Democrats Cotham and Kim Ratliff.
Cotham was elected chair and Ratliff vice chair. Cotham immediately reached out to the board's three Republicans and built a solid five-member coalition that included Democrat Vilma Leake.
Initially, Fuller joined the coalition, voting with them to fire longtime County Manager Harry Jones last May. But after Cotham wouldn't let Jones speak and told him to leave the dais following the vote, he began to grow disenchanted with her leadership.
He and other Democrats complained that she collaborated with Republicans, but excluded them on several discussions, including the early stages of finding a replacement for Jones. They complained that she didn't work with county staffers and instead undertook county business herself.
Last Tuesday, Democrats persuaded Leake to break from the coalition, and vote to replace Cotham as chair with Fuller. Cotham and three Republicans opposed.
Commissioner Dumont Clarke, the board's new vice chair, said the change will be good for the relationship between the board and county staff. Fuller, he said, understands and respects the "proper roles of the board – and the manager and his staff."
Cotham took issue that Fuller said little to her about his concerns but expressed them "when the cameras were around." James is reserving judgement on Fuller's leadership.
"Trevor's a new politician," he said. "He enjoys giving speeches, but whether he enjoys running the meetings, we'll have to see. Being chair is as much about running the trains on time as it with blowing the whistle."
Fuller says his priorities are to get a new county manager on board, restart committees long dormant, and start working earlier on a new county budget. He vowed to get meetings moving "at a crisper pace."
He's adamant that Republicans will have the voice they had with Cotham, but is expecting "some barking" from the often-combative James.
"Ideas get better with a variety of perspectives," Fuller said. "The Republicans should be happy: now I won't have time to rant. I'll be too busy running the meetings."

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! This year, I wanted to make something for my Mom for Mother's Day so I tried my hand at making an edible fruit bouquet. A few months ago, someone in my office received an Edible Arrangement bouquet and since then I've been wanting to make my own DIY edible fruit bouquet. After doing some research online, I cooked up a fruit bouquet that my Mom loved. Of course, she's my Mom so she probably would have liked anything I made, but I really think it came out well! If you're interested in making your own, here's my DIY guide to making an edible fruit bouquet:
I started by buying a bunch of fresh fruit for the bouquet. I picked up a pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, grapes, and apples. These seem to be the standards for edible bouquets, but you can customize them based the preferences of your recipient. I think the arrangements are usually made with Granny Smith apples, but I used McIntosh apples instead because they're my Mom's favorite. Believe it or not, I also needed a head of lettuce for this project.
In addition to the fruit, I bought wooden skewers (the ones I got were a little too long and I had to cut them shorter), cookie cutters (I used these metal Wilton ones that were strong and deep enough to cut through the fruit well), and a cute planter to put everything in. I've seen edible arrangements made with vases and baskets, but I used a cute coffee cup shaped planter for potted plants.
If you're wondering why I bought lettuce, it's because I used it as the base of my arrangement. I peeled a few layers of lettuce off until it fit snugly into my planter. The lettuce is used to hold the fruit skewers in place as the arrangement is put together.
Once the planter was ready, I prepared the fruit. To make the arrangement extra yummy, I dipped some of the fruit in chocolate. I dipped cut apples and other fruit into a bowl of melted chocolate chips and then placed it in the refrigerator to set. The chocolate ended up sticking pretty well to the fruit, but it would have probably worked better if I dried off the fruit and then chilled it prior to dipping in chocolate.
Then I cut up the pineapple into circles. I simply twisted off the top of the pineapple, cut off the ends, and then made round slices. This worked out great because I didn't have to hassle with cutting the skin off the pineapple which I hate doing.
Once it was sliced, I used the cookie cutters to create cute flower shapes.
Each slice made about one flower cut-out, but on some of the slices I was able to use the cookie cutter off-center and use the rest of the slice to make half of a cut-out. All together, the pineapple made about 9-15 cut-outs which was not a lot, but enough for the bouquet:
I also cut about 3/4 of a cantaloupe and half of a honeydew into wedge segments.
Once all of the fruit was cut, I started arranging the fruit starting at the bottom by inserting
the cantaloupe and honeydew wedges facing upward. At the ends of some of the skewers I also added grapes:
Once I added the cantaloupe and honeydew around the bottom, I randomly inserted more fruit skewers into the lettuce to begin to fill it up. I added a lot of the chocolate skewers during this phase because all though they are really delicious, the chocolate looks a bit messy.
Once most of the bouquet was filled in, I finished up by adding the flower shaped fruits I cut earlier. Since the flower shaped ones are the prettiest I wanted to save them for last so they would be the most visible. I put a few grapes on each skewer, followed by a flower shaped fruit. Once the skewer was inserted into the lettuce head, I topped it with a strawberry or grape.
After a little more arranging, my bouquet was complete! And delicious!
Here's a view from the top:
Overall the entire project took me about 2 hours, but it was well worth it because the fruit bouquet ended up being a big hit and my Mom loved it.

Tooth Wisdom
Most young kids haven't had teeth long enough to have anything go wrong with them.
But a Finnish study has highlighted some interesting risk factors, according to a report in the Journal of Dental Research:
Researchers at the department of child neurology at the University of Turku in Finland found that:
If a child's mother is still in her teens, it's five times more likely that the child will have cavities by age 5.
If a child's father has at least one cavity each year, the chances that the child will have cavities by age 5 more than doubles.
If the child's mother doesn't brush her own teeth regularly, it doubles the likelihood that her child will have cavities.
Living in a rural area also doubles the chances of a child having bad teeth.

Berthoud Recorder
A residential project that includes a centralized park received unanimous approval from the Town Board at their Tuesday, March 10 meeting.
The Overlook at Dry Creek will occupy 118 acres of property located on the east side of County Road 17 and south of Hillsdale Nature Park. Along with the park, the preliminary development plan includes 10- to 12-foot tree lawns, or sidewalk buffers, bordering collector streets and three detention ponds.
A variety of lot sizes are planned for the subdivision, with the overall density averaging 2.87 units per acre. The development property was annexed into the Town in January 2007.
"I think it's a fine looking development," said Trustee Glen Buckingham. "It has lots of things people are looking to buy in this target range are going to find attractive."
Ross Brazil, the owners' representative for the project, received a variance from the Town's sight triangle requirement to allow ample placement of trees along the streets. To preserve adequate line of sight along the streets, the trees would be trimmed upward when mature, he said. Either a homeowner's association or the Town would be responsible for maintaining the tree lawns, Brazil explained.
While discussing the park, Brazil said the property's sloped terrain will be graded to create pads for recreational areas. He also said he was planning to work with the Town to provide access to Hillsdale Park for residents living in the community.
Before making a decision on the plan, Trustee Jeff Hindman took issue with the low percentage of alley-loaded lots. "There's overwhelming public support for creating alleys," which are required by Town code, he said.
Alley-loaded lots are "encouraged," Planner Tim Katers noted while reading from Town development code to clarify the matter.
"I have many reasons to hate alley-loaded lots," remarked Trustee Dick Shepard. He also noted he supported the project's diversification and liked the park and street designs.
During the public hearing on the plan, resident Paul Hicks said he was concerned about losing a source of water for his farm when the land is developed. "Whose responsibility is it to move the pond?" he asked.
Mayor Tom Patterson told Hicks that the matter was basically a property rights issue that would have to be negotiated with the owners of the land for the planned project.
Resident Art Johnson expressed his concerns also; noting that wastewater from the development would need to be directed away from his property.
Other Town Board Updates
White Proposes Hiring Interim Economic DeveloperTo fill the gap created by the departure of interim economic development consultant Stephanie Salazar, Town Administrator Jim White proposed to the Board of Trustees that a replacement be hired on a temporary basis. White recommended Fred Burmont, an account with 25 years experience in corporate finance, for the interim position.
Trustees Glen Buckingham and Jeff Hindman said that they would prefer to have an opportunity to review a candidate and have some input before a decision was made on hiring an interim economic developer.
"I think it would behoove us to have a chance to meet the person," said Hindman.
Town Attorney Addresses Conflict of Interest IssueTown Attorney Bruce Fickel reported that an attorney with the ethics committee of the state bar association had determined there was no conflict of interest in his representing both the Town and Administrator Jim White in legal matters. Fickel said he made a call to the ethics committee in response to an issue raised by Trustee Jeff Hindman regarding his representation of White on two personal matters.
After hearing the opinion of the ethics committee, Hindman said that he had wanted to hire an independent attorney to review the matter, adding that in his opinion there were factual inaccuracies not presented.
Town Negotiating with School on Projects
Town Administrator Jim White said that he has talked with Thompson School District officials about plans to use non-potable water at Berthoud High and Turner Middle schools. He also said that the school district is planning to install six new tennis courts at the high school.
White also reported that a state bill to create a special tax district for Aims Community College has passed both the House and the Senate and has been sent to the Governor for approval. A new Aim campus is being planned near Berthoud at the intersection of Interstate 25 and Hwy. 56, with projected completion in 2012.

Turner hits OT winner, 76ers tops Nets 121-120
Evan Turner hit the winning basket at the buzzer and scored 29 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 121-120, overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night.
Paul Pierce hit a 3-pointer with 16.9 seconds left in OT to give the Nets the short-lived lead.
Turner, sensational all game, drove past a pair of defenders and tossed up the last-gasp shot. The ball bounced three times around the rim before it dropped through the net. After a brief review, the bucket stood, Turner was mobbed by his teammates and the Sixers snapped a seven-game losing streak.
Thaddeus Young scored 25 points for the Sixers, and Michael Carter-Williams had 15 points and 10 assists.
Alan Anderson had a season-high 26 points for the Nets, Pierce scored 24 with 10 rebounds, and Deron Williams had 17 points and 14 assists.

I'm David Embree, offering audio services to Northwest Arkansas. I just ordered my first X32 Rack, and am too excited about its arrival.
I am the Production Manager for Last Night Fayetteville, the largest New Year's Eve celebration in the state. I serve as the Director of Technical Ministries at Central United Methodist Church in Rogers, AR. I'm the Recording Engineer for Sunday Night Service, a weekly production of The Artist's Laboratory Theatre. I oversee audio production at Ryleigh's Boom Boom Room in Fayetteville, AR.
From 2011-2013, I served as the Audio/Video Technician at the Walton Arts Center, Arkansas's largest and busiest performing arts center, working with international touring acts, and mixing over 200 shows a year in the 1,200 seat Baum Walker Hall and 250 seat Starr Theater. During this time I was the Assistant Recording Engineer for the Artosphere Festival Orchestra whose performances aired on NPR's Performance Today. I was the Engineer for the Fayetteville Roots Festival Starr Theater Stage with several of my recordings airing nationally on Folk Alley.
From 2008-2011, I served as the Technical Coordinator for Swank Audio Visuals at the John Q Hammons Center in Rogers, AR, and occasionally assisting at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN. I worked with Walmart, Tyson, P&G, Deloitte, and countless other corporations and non-profit organizations. I had the privilege of running sound for dignitaries like President Bill Clinton, NATO's Parliamentary Assembly, and too many others to list here.
I am pleased to join the community here after several weeks lurking. The forum has been an invaluable resource that finally convinced me to purchase my X32 rack. I look forward to my new tool.

|If you like the regular strawberry Pocky, you'll most likely switch to eating this one. The bits of strawberry really add a nice overall flavor of actual strawberry. The flavor isn't too overwhelming it feels like just the perfect amount. I highly recommend it.

|Strawberry Crush pocky is my favorite. It tastes so much better than the plain strawberry pocky. I probably shouldn't be writing a review with a pocky craving, but it's good quality yummy stuff!

Review: Novatel Wireless Liberate MiFi on AT&T
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There are two types of people who tow their boats and campers:
1. Those who use a regular car -- Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry or equivalent.
2. Those who use a Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup truck or equivalent.
The same thing applies for those who need to set up a portable WiFi hotspot. There are two ways of doing this.If you are the kind of person who tow your boat with a regular car, you will perform this task using your regular smartphone. Whether your smartphone is based on Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT) or Research in Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry, they all serve as a WiFi hotspot -- just like a regular car can be equipped with a tow hook. However, if you are the kind of person who uses a Ford F-350 Super Duty truck, instead of a regular car, to tow your boat, then you are also likely the same kind of person who sets up your portable WiFi hotspot using a Novatel Wireless MiFi. Towing your boat with a Honda Civic is technically possible, but it will tax the little car to exhaustion. Same thing with portable WiFi. If you are going to do serious work, and you don't want to be plugged into a wall outlet -- perhaps because no such outlet is easily available at that point -- then you want to use a dedicated hotspot machine from Novatel Wireless or equivalent. You are now ready for professional-grade, heavy-duty, WiFi hotspot performance! The latest such WiFi hotspot device is the Novatel Liberate MiFi offered on AT&T (T). It breaks with previous industrial design radically. Previously, a portable WiFi hotspot was an unassuming brick. Initially, in 2009 it had no display, but in subsequent generations exhibiting increasingly informative displays. This latest version looks just like the Apple Magic Trackpad, but smaller. The cylindrical "stand" contains the equally cylindrical battery, and on the ends of this cylinder you will find the MicroUSB charger and on/off button. The design is brilliant and beautiful.
Touch DisplayThe greater part of the "pad's" surface area consists of a color display, and for the first time on a WiFi hotspot it's a touch display. That's interesting, but it's all downhill from here. The touch response is terrible. You sometimes have to try tens of times to obtain any response/action of any kind. This is inexcusable. How did this get past any basic quality testing?

A University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire professor emeritus is among 11 recipients of the Alumni Achievement Award from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Morris D. Hayes, professor emeritus of music and theatre arts at UW-Eau Claire, will be recognized at a celebration and awards banquet Friday, May 5, for his outstanding achievements. While at UW-Eau Claire from 1966 to 1987, he expanded the choral program from two groups of 85 students into seven groups of 600 students. Two UW-Eau Claire choral groups established under Hayes, the Concert Choir and The Singing Statesmen, are among the top choral groups in the nation.
Hayes was the national president of the American Choral Directors Association from 1972 to 1974 and was appointed to the choral panel of the National Endowment for the Arts from 1976 to 1981. In 1982, the Wisconsin Choral Directors established the Morris D. Hayes Award for the year's most distinguished director. Hayes also prepared and conducted the first U.S. Youth Chorale that performed in several East Asian countries.
The Alumni Achievement Award, established in 1974, is the highest award given by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Alumni Association. Alumni who receive this award must possess a record of outstanding achievements in career or civic involvement.
Lee Denker, director of the Alumni Association at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is pleased with the award recipients.
"Morrie has done many neat things in music and is very deserving of this award," Denker said.
Hayes said he feels honored to receive the award. "Because there are so many deserving people, I am highly flattered and extremely honored," Hayes said.-30-JLW/BW

Health experts warn about intestinal illness hitting Douglas County
In the last week, 11 cases of Cyclospora cayetanensis infection have been identified in Douglas County.
The Douglas County Health Department is investigating the outbreak along with the Iowa Department of Public Health, the Nebraska DHHS and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to identify the source.
Currently there are 22 cases in Iowa and 16 cases in Nebraska.
Dr. Adi Pour, director of the Douglas County Health Department, said they have not been able to identify a common source. It is possible that it is due to a broadly distributed fresh produce item.
The symptoms of Cyclospora infection are distinct from other diarrheal illnesses in that symptoms last an average of 57 days in untreated patients. Fatigue and anorexia are prominent. Other symptoms include nausea, flatulence, abdominal cramping, low-grade fever and weight loss.
View frequently asked questions on Cyclospora
Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. People can become infected with Cyclospora by consuming food or water contaminated with the parasite. It is not spread person to person.
Pour said if it is coming from fresh produce, rinsing fruits and vegetables is not enough. Experts say to use a brush and scrub the produce before eating.
If you think you have eaten something that made you sick, visit a healthcare provider.

i'm back!
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 10-04-2008 - 10:45am
I'm back, ladies!!! and I am NEVER going back to Ohio!!!
The calling hours for DH's grandfather were a nightmare. The whole trip to Ohio was a nightmare. To make a long story short, they no longer consider DH "family" because he moved away and doesn't visit or "care" enough. We found out we weren't included in the family hour before public calling hours, but we went anyway b/c we found out from the funeral director when we dropped off our flowers. DH had a huge row with his mother over her stealing his identity and racking up debt under his name, and I had to hear about I'm so cold, I'm a cold-hearted person and I turned DH into this awful man...uggg I'm just glad to be home and back to normal!!
I did have a minor breakdown yesterday. DH's mother gave him a letter she had been writing since August. Turns out, she knew his grandfather was dying for MONTHS...but never told DH!! DH's mother ruins things that cannot be repaired.
But anyway, about my minor breakdown. Since DH and I have been married, his mother has put me into some warped competition with her best friend's daughter. DH's mother threw her a huge bridal shower (I didn't get one), helped pay for her wedding (we got literally no help). DH told his mother we don't want to know what "Sally" does and that he doesn't care. Anyway. On Tuesday, when I spoke to DH's mother to find out about the funeral arrangements, she kept talking to me like a moron about funeral stuff. I finally said, "Do you forget what I do for a living? I'm a FUNERAL DIRECTOR" and she says, "Kristy, I know what your career is". In that funny tone, meaning...unbeknownst to me!..that I chose a career and not a family, in her eyes. I had no clue what that was supposed to mean...until I opened this letter.
Sally is pregnant. With twins.
I was just so emotional about everything already, I just started bawling. I was sobbing to DH that it's not my fault I'm reproductively challenged and it's not my fault I can't give him babies, and he was livid at his mother because he TOLD her to basically shut up about Sally. And you know when you start just babbling because you're so upset? I just started crying and babbling about how Sally has my pregnancy, my twins, and she'll probably steal MY names and have a boy and a girl and I'll be barren forever. Looking back, I must have sounded comical! I have this stupid HSG exam that I'm NOT looking forward to on MOnday, and I get to hear about how easy it is for everyone else to get PG with freakin' twins. UG!
I'm soooo glad to be home :)
|Sat, 10-04-2008 - 1:13pm
(((HUGS))) I am so sorry to hear you had a ronchy trip OH and that DH family is being petty and insensitive.
|Sat, 10-04-2008 - 1:43pm
dear kristy,
i'm so sorry you had to deal with all that! the last week i've been an emotional wreck, and it's no fun. people can say the most hurtful things. i'm glad you're back home. GL w/ the hsg mon!

OMG Kristy Lee ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) I promise that not everyone from OH is like that.
|Sat, 10-04-2008 - 4:12pm
I'm so sorry that all of this happened. Some women just can't deal with their sons meeting and marrying amazing women because they know that they are no longer the "love of their lives." It sounds like she's been down right cruel.
Hopefully things will look up now that you're home.

|Mon, 10-06-2008 - 8:37am
I'm shaking mad for you. Everything I want to say, you already know. Screw them, they need to mind their own flippin business... but I do know how frustrating it is when extended family acts like this when it would be incredible to have their support.
|Mon, 10-06-2008 - 10:24am
lol Roman, your posts always make me smile :)
DH called his mom back again last night and left an angry voicemail telling her to NEVER mention "Sally" to us ever again, and to never disrespect me...ever. I'm so used to standing up for myself to people that I forgot how nice it was to have someone on my side :)
Email me and we'll figure out about Gettysburg. I'm not too happy, though, because it's supposed to rain and be miserable the 13-14-15!

Bill Bartmann, once ranked #25 of the wealthiest Americans, spoke to us first on Friday on the topic of "How to Borrow All the Money Your Business Needs." Before he got to that, though, he had these thoughts on being successful:
"The only opinion of you that matters is your own."
"You have to learn to forgive"—those who did something, those who did nothing, and yourself.
"Everything in life is a choice. Choose wisely."
"Invest in yourself."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Meg!
Facts about Meg
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Meg's Info...
I am already spayed, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meg is a 10-week-old American Pit Bull Terrier (mom is a Pit Bull, no clue what dad is) looking for her forever home. She is mellow and sweet. She lives with other dogs, small children, and cats. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. She is very sweet and loves attention. Find out about our process or apply online at: http://recycledpetsnorcal.org/adoption-process/ or email email@example.com for an appication or meet her at the next adoption event!
Other Pets at Recycled Pets NorCal
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Meg, a Sacramento American Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Sacramento, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Sacramento.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sacramento already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sacramento breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sacramento paves the way for another one to be saved.

We'll admit it: Ventura Boulevard lacks the cachet of such other important streets "over the hill" as Wilshire and Sunset. The main surface artery through the San Fernando Valley has long, utterly forgettable stretches lined with strip malls, auto dealerships and low-end motels. However, as Ventura heads into Studio City, it's studded with some of the Valley's best food finds—ones that are even worth a drive over the hill. Start around the corner from Universal City at MANTEE, a small Lebanese place serving an extensive Middle Eastern menu filled with unusual specialties, notably mantee, a casserole of succulent toasted ravioli in a creamy, garlicky yogurt sauce.
Just up the boulevard in a dark corner of a Marshall's strip mall is newcomer RAMEN JINYA, a great pit stop on a chilly L.A. day (pork belly fanciers, go for the tonkotsu ramen). Across the street is the celebrated SUSHI NOZAWA, which anchors the eastern end of Sushi Row, the section of Ventura named for its sushi restaurants. Chef Kazunori Nozawa, aka the Sushi Nazi, offers a distinctive style of chef's-choice omakase ("trust me" is his motto) to cowed but doting customers (he also operates Sugarfish in Brentwood and Marina del Rey). In the same strip mall is the humbler but more hospitable DAICHAN, a hole-in-the-wall that serves excellent homestyle Japanese dishes, such as udon noodles, poki bowls, curries and tempuras.
A few blocks west on Ventura is RAPHAEL, an upscale spot that expanded last year, got a full liquor license and welcomed chef Adam Horton, formerly of Saddle Peak Lodge. Steak tartare and pan-roasted Scottish salmon are top picks, and we love that they offer more than 50 wines by the glass. Close by is chef Katsuya Uechi's original SUSHI KATSU-YA , the beachhead of what is now a sushi empire. It specializes in elaborate cut rolls and intricate presentations, and if you can swing a reservation it's a fun evening for a small group. Not far away you'll find Uechi's KIWAMI, an elegant, contemporary spot for sushi connoisseurs to savor omakase or nosh less formally on soba noodles, tempura and miso-marinated black cod. If you're on an expense account, head across the boulevard to ASANEBO, known for superb sashimi and a range of imaginative cooked dishes; omakase starts at $75 per person and ascends from there.
Since man does not live by yellowtail alone, climb to the second floor of the mall at Ventura and Laurel Canyon to sample terrific tacos and Mexico City specialties at chef Jimmy Shaw's LOTERIA GRILL, a branch of the well-known Farmers Market stand and its Hollywood Boulevard spinoff. The ARTISAN CHEESE GALLERY, located across Ventura, purveys handmade cheeses from all over the world, as well as Fra' Mani salumi and superb sandwiches (try the duck confit with fig jam and Le Marechal cheese). On Sundays, Ventura Place behind the Cheese Gallery is home to the STUDIO CITY FARMERS' MARKET, a small, high-quality market that is hugely popular with the locals (parking can be a challenge).
A block west of Laurel Canyon you'll find a chic little bakery called BIG SUGAR BAKESHOP. Every day the bakers create a different lineup of temptations, from red velvet cake and tender scones to some of the best lemon bars we've tasted (check the website, bigsugarbakeshop.com, to see what's just come out of the oven). Last, for a relaxing capper to this culinary crawl, stop in at FLASK FINE WINES, which has been satisfying local needs for premium bottlings for more than four decades. After all, pounding the pavement in search of good eats is thirsty work.
