Gerard "Gerry" Ryan (5 June 1956 – 30 April 2010) was an Irish presenter of radio and television employed by Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ). He presented The Gerry Ryan Show on radio station RTÉ 2fm each weekday morning from 1988 until hours before his sudden death. He was presented with a Jacob's Award for this show in 1990.
Ryan hosted several series of television shows, including Secrets, Gerry Ryan Tonight, Ryantown, Gerry Ryan's Hitlist, Ryan Confidential and Operation Transformation. In 1987, he earned notoriety and the moniker "Lambo" after an unpleasant incident in Connemara. He was also noted for co-presenting, with Cynthia Ní Mhurchú, Eurovision Song Contest 1994 and, in 2008, presenting an edition of The Late Late Show, television's longest-running chat show, in place of the then regular host Pat Kenny. An autobiography, Would the Real Gerry Ryan Please Stand Up, was published in October 2008.
He married Morah Brennan in 1988 and they had five children: Lottie, Rex, Bonnie, Elliott and Babette. In 1997, Morah famously telephoned her husband's show and, under the name Norah, told half a million listeners intimate details concerning his personal household habits. Gerry and Morah announced their separation in March 2008. He soon began a relationship with the former South African Ambassador to Ireland and the then UNICEF Ireland executive director, Melanie Verwoerd.
Ryan was found dead in his Dublin apartment on 30 April 2010.[5][6] An inquest adjudged his death to have been caused by cocaine and alcohol consumption.[7]
Ryan was born in Dublin in 1956. He described his father, Vinnie, as a "slightly eccentric" dentist from a Presbyterian background and his mother, Maureen, as "a flamboyant woman" who came from a theatrical background and worked in the theatre.[8] His godfather was broadcaster Eamonn Andrews. He learnt to shoot with Charles Haughey's children.[9] He had two brothers, Michael and Vincent.[10] He was educated at St Paul's College, Raheny.[9] Ryan's mother died on Christmas Day 2006.[10]
Early in his career, Ryan was involved part-time in pirate radio – presenting a selection of programmes firstly for Alternative Radio Dublin (ARD) and then for Big D. When Radio 2 (now RTÉ 2fm) was launched in 1979, Ryan joined RTÉ as a DJ where he presented a selection of speech- and music-based programmes, including Here Comes the Weekend on Friday nights and Saturday Scene on Saturday mornings, which earned him £78 per week. Ryan then moved to a night-time music show called 'Lights out' which accompanied Mark Cagney's grown-up album programme and Dave Fanning's The Rock Show as part of Radio 2's night-time line-up. The trio brought their shows on tour around Ireland. Ryan said they dressed as if they were in a band and behaved as such as well, booking into "awful hotels", drinking heavily and staying out late in "dodgy nightclubs". Their excessive talking has led to Ryan dubbing them "the three big-mouths on at night-time". They were good friends; Fanning was "a kind of hyperactive, Southside rock guru" and Cagney was "this obsessive, meticulous Corkman who would annotate every single millisecond of what he played on-air".[11] The trio also started to put on live shows, some of which Ryan described as being attended by crowds of 20,000.
In 1987, Ryan and a group of volunteers spent time in the countryside of Connemara as part of The Gay Byrne Show.[12] Ryan claimed to have killed and eaten a lamb to survive, earning him the nickname "Lambo", though the story turned out to be a hoax.[13] The incident has been adapted for the stage.[14]
Ryan's style was considered by some to be that of a motor-mouth shock jock.[15] The Gerry Ryan Show was subject to several upheld complaints to the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI),[16][17][18] although once escaped punishment when he said "Would it be considered blasphemous if someone said on air that 'God is a bollocks?'".[19] Ryan was noted for the enjoyment he took in discussing topics such as sex, bodily functions, and food – as well as current social and political issues.[20] PR guru Max Clifford observed he could have, like Graham Norton and Terry Wogan, had a successful broadcasting career in the UK and said he was similar to "Michael Parkinson at his best".[21]
The Gerry Ryan Show, began in March 1988[22] when he was offered a three-hour morning radio slot. The G. Ryan Show,[23] running from 09:00–12:00 on weekday mornings, consisted of interviews and phone-ins via the "Ryan Line".[24][25] Each morning he would begin by discussing the headlines of that morning's newspapers. Following the news update at 10:00, Ryan would introduce that morning's Nob Nation, a satirical slot which featured impersonations of politicians and RTÉ media personnel comparable to rival station Today FM's Gift Grub. Ryan presented RTÉ 2fm's only show which was regularly among the top twenty Irish radio shows in Ireland, a show which commanded around €4–5 million for RTÉ per annum, mainly through advertising (one thirty-second advertisement during the show cost €900).[26] This meant RTÉ would have earned €27,000 through advertising from Ryan per day.[27]
The defining moment of the show came in 1993, when a rape victim, Lavinia Kerwick, rang GRS to air her feelings.[11] For the first time it occurred to Ryan that the story was more important than the question. Since then The Ryan Show became something of a national institution as the oldest show still running on 2fm. Despite repeated reshuffles which have seen all other presenters shifted around, RTÉ have never moved The Ryan Show from its traditional slot.[28]
In 1997, Ryan's wife Morah, from whom he later separated, telephoned her husband's show and, under the name Norah, told half a million listeners that her husband dumps his underpants on the floor before hopping into bed every night, doesn't put his clothes on hangers, had not cleaned the dog's mess from the back yard for weeks and never puts the rubbish out for the dustbin men. When she was done she asked her husband: "You would do that now, wouldn't you Gerry?" The interview was nearing its finish when he realised what was happening after hearing his crew laughing in the Montrose control room. An embarrassed Ryan informed his listeners: "This is my wife talking".[29]
In 2004, Ryan caused uproar when he cancelled an interview with the Taoiseach of the time, Bertie Ahern at very short notice.[30]
British broadcaster Chris Evans credited The Gerry Ryan Show with inspiring him to return to radio broadcasting after a long absence while on a holiday in Killarney.[31]
In October 1990, Ryan received a Jacob's Award for The Gerry Ryan Show, described at the award ceremony as "unbelievably bizarre and unprecedented – and at the same time being serious, hilarious and unpredictable".[32]
Ryan hosted several series of television shows during his career.
Secrets was a popular Saturday night show which was not well received by critics.[33] The producer, Kevin Linehan, was removed from the show to work on the Millstreet Eurovision and asked Ryan to co-present the event with Fionnuala Sweeney. They later met and Linehan informed Ryan that RTÉ had objected to his proposal.[34] He did, however, co-present the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest alongside Cynthia Ní Mhurchú where he had the honour of introducing Riverdance as the interval act. He had watched Michael Flatley and Jean Butler put the act together, choreographing it and rehearsing it "fifty or sixty times" and later wrote of being offered the opportunity to invest a stake of £20,000 in the act. Ryan turned it down, a decision he later admitted regretting.[11] Ní Mhurchú later credited Ryan with telling her to not take herself too seriously.[31] Ryan had previously been involved with both the 1986 and 1990 Contest, providing both television and radio commentary for RTÉ. He also provided the RTÉ Radio commentary for the 2002 and the 2003 contests.
He described Ryantown as "the worst television experience I've ever had in my entire life", with producer Julie Parsons (who had previously worked on The Gay Byrne Hour) nearly having a nervous breakdown, according to Ryan. He described RTÉ as "extremely unhelpful".
"Suggestions would arrive at our production meetings: maybe Gerry should wear a hat. Maybe Gerry should sit down. Maybe Gerry should run around more." [35]
Ryan unsuccessfully pleaded with RTÉ to cancel midway through the series.
Gerry Ryan Tonight was a chat show that aired two nights per week. Ryan describes it as "no less traumatic" as it nearly cost him his close personal friendship with the producer Ferdia McAnna.[35]
Ryan was touted to be the successor to Gay Byrne following his departure from The Late Late Show. Reports that Ryan was to be made producer as well as presenter and given a deal worth £500,000 – higher earnings than Byrne received –[36] proved unfounded when Pat Kenny took over the role in 1999.
Later TV work included Gerry Ryan's Hitlist, Ryan Confidential,[37] and Operation Transformation. Ryan wrote in his 2008 autobiography that his critics were not as vocal any more, although he put this down to them "mostly... ignoring me".[35] He is also noted for presenting The Late Late Show on 24 October 2008 when regular presenter Pat Kenny became bereaved.[38][39] In positive notices unusual as per his television career, Ryan received praise for his guest role, even coping well with the traditionally difficult comedian Tommy Tiernan whose appearances on the show with Kenny led to complaints. The edition of The Late Late Show that he hosted had the largest audience of any that season apart from the annual edition of The Late Late Toy Show.[40]
The Evening Herald reported that when Tonight with Craig Doyle finished, Ryan was set to present a chat show in autumn 2010.[41]
In the early part of 2008, Ryan announced that he had been contracted by Penguin to write his autobiography. The €100,000 advance paid by Penguin to Ryan was reported to be the largest ever paid for a book published in Ireland.[42] Would the Real Gerry Ryan Please Stand Up was released to Irish readers on 16 October 2008. In January 2009, it was reported that the book had sold just over 10,000 copies.[43]
Ryan earned €487,492 from RTÉ in 2004,[44] making him the second highest paid presenter to colleague Pat Kenny. He earned €462,442 in 2003, and €601,882 in 2002.[45] RTÉ offered Ryan a new five-year contract worth €600,000 a year in July 2007.[46] Ryan said that just before this he came very close to signing a deal with Denis O'Brien to present a daytime programme on Newstalk which was about to go national. He was offered several millions more than RTÉ were offering him. Ryan considered the deal, thinking of how one of his best friends Willie O'Reilly was head of sister station Today FM and was heavily involved with the other stations. However negotiations fell apart as Ryan cautioned on how delicate the situation was, with RTÉ looking at his contract and deciding if he was of value to them any more. O'Brien allegedly disappeared and Ryan was told he was out of coverage. The irony was not lost on him – "pretty incredible for a guy who owns most of the world's mobile telephones". O'Brien did eventually return but Ryan had already signed the RTÉ contract.[35]
In February 2009 Ryan refused to take a 10% pay cut from RTÉ, even as several other employees in RTÉ took such pay cuts, and declared it "bullshit".[47] On 10 March 2009 he gave a lengthy speech on his radio show, at the end of which he declared he would agree to break his existing contract with RTÉ, and take a pay cut.[48][49] He was not technically a member of RTÉ staff but was paid through a separate company, enabling Ryan and RTÉ to avoid paying as much tax on his salary.[50]
Ryan was married for 26 years to his wife Morah, with whom he had five children: Lottie (born c. 1987), Rex (born c. 1990), Bonnie (born c. 1993), Elliott (born c. 1997) and Babette (born c. 2000).[51] When he worked for the pirate radio station Big D, Morah helped him with his programme. She helped her future husband put the music together and carry the equipment. He paid her £3 out of the £15 he earned.[52]
When they first married, the Ryans had very little money. Pat Kenny gave up a bed for Ryan and his wife to use while on honeymoon in Greece.[53] Ryan obtained a mortgage by lying about his salary and bought a little house in Marino. The couple had some difficulty making their payments and they were constantly receiving reminders and even notices of foreclosure.
In March 2008, Ryan announced he and Morah were separating[54][55] and called the separation "a very painful experience".[56]
Later in 2008, he began a relationship with the former South African Ambassador to Ireland and the then UNICEF Ireland executive director, Melanie Verwoerd.[57] In 2011, Melanie Verwoerd said she was "deeply shocked" to have been sacked from the charity because of the publicity surrounding her relationship with the deceased broadcaster.[58]
It was claimed that Ryan was known by some to be a cocaine user, allegedly offering to the former RTÉ Radio DJ Gareth O'Callaghan.[59][60] Ryan's former sister-in-law, Janice O'Brien said: "Many people who knew Gerry knew he took drugs. It was an accepted open secret for years. He used everywhere – birthday parties, Christmas parties. I'm not the only person in the world that knows this".[61]
Ryan spent several days on a drip in hospital in 2006 due to dehydration after contracting the winter vomiting bug.[62] He also underwent a much-publicised vasectomy which resulted in an infected wound.[63]
Ryan was noted for his love of fine food and wine. He was battling a weight problem for several years and had been taking Reductil (Sibutramine), a "slimming pill", which he said was effective and safe.[64] Ryan conceded in his autobiography that he drank too much for his own good.[65]
"Let's be honest about this. Gerry could be a bollix, too. No question about that. He was self-centred in many ways."
"He was one of the greats of modern Irish broadcasting on radio and television."
"Gerry was an extraordinarily talented broadcaster whose unique communication skills and larger than life persona entertained and enlivened a national audience over many years."
"He was the best company you could ever have. He was bold in every sense of the meaning of that word. He was brave in his broadcasting; he was brave in his life; he lived his life to the full."
"I heard the news on Friday from Noel Kelly, our agent. I cried then, I've cried since, and I will cry again."
Ryan spoke of feeling ill on the night of 29 April 2010 and cancelled several appointments on that night.[69] He was found dead in the bedroom of his Leeson Street, Dublin apartment by his partner on the following afternoon.[69][70]
Ryan's family issued the following statement to the public: "Gerry Ryan died today. Morah and his children are in complete shock. Please respect their privacy."[69]
President Mary McAleese and many political figures issued regrets at Ryan's death.[68][71] Fellow RTÉ broadcasters Gay Byrne, Pat Kenny, Larry Gogan, Joe Duffy, Dave Fanning and Ryan Tubridy also expressed their regrets.[53][67][72][73] Chris Evans of BBC Radio 2 also paid tribute.[73] RTÉ Radio 1 cut short their afternoon show for a special tribute programme on Drivetime.[6] Bono also expressed his sympathy.[74]
Director-General of RTÉ Cathal Goan, Managing Director of RTÉ Radio, Clare Duignan and RTÉ Chairperson Tom Savage all released statements on RTÉ.ie.[75] Marian Finucane spoke of meeting him on the Tuesday before his death, considering him to be stressed.[76]
RTÉ colleagues discussed his life on The Late Late Show.[77] A two-hour radio programme presented by Evelyn O'Rourke was broadcast on RTÉ 2fm on 1 May 2010.[78] A book of condolence was opened in the RTÉ Radio Centre, in Donnybrook, Dublin.[3][79][80][81][82]
Following the announcement of the findings into Ryan's death and its relationship with cocaine consumption at the inquest on 10 December 2010, the broadcaster was involved in further controversy due to his outspoken views against drug use. Details of Ryan's cocaine habit reversed the sympathetic outpourings of the public at the time of his death. Newspaper columnist Kevin Myers stated, "He was also a criminal fool and an enemy of all that's decent and honourable and true in society".[83]

Croatia 21000
Tel: 385 91 405 6666
Concierge.com's insider take:
Savvy globe trekkers know that to find a good seafood restaurant you head for the local fish market. Split's market is worth a wander, with its singing, haggling, and bantering Croats selling lobsters, eels, and squid ink. While Nostromo isn't quite on the water itself, it attracts Split's upper echelon in an wood-bedecked dining room in the fish market that feels like a yacht's galley. The chefs know to leave well enough alone, using a minimum of spices and sauces to let the flavor of the fish come through. Start with a plate of local oysters before diving into the Nostromo plate, which includes sautéed shrimp, squid, mussels, scallops, and clams tossed with olive oil and parsley.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily: 6 a.m. to 12 a.m.

The controversial law that would ban red light cameras across Colorado, passed a Colorado Senate committee today.
Several cities and towns, including Pueblo, are speaking out against the move, saying the cameras have had a positive impact on public safety, reducing accidents at very busy intesections.
Critics of the cameras say it's all about the money raised from the tickets that are issued, not public safety.
The Colorado Municipal League, which represents more than 250 communities in the state, says it should be up to cities and towns to decide the matter on their own, and that the cameras are important to public safety.
Moving forward, Democratic Sen. Lucia Guzman and Democratic Senate President Morgan Carroll are co-sponsoring the bill, giving the proposal a good chance to pass the chamber.
News 5 will continue to track it's progress.

Support the Baltimore Water Pollution Reduction Fee
We face a crisis with stormwater runoff. Rainwater that washes from roofs, parking lots and streets carries away pollutants, including animal waste, fertilizers, pesticides, oil and automotive fluids. This is a long-ignored and growing source of pollution that causes flooding and property damage. Stormwater runoff also hurts the quality of our streams, the Harbor and the Chesapeake Bay.
To address this problem, Baltimore City officials are creating a fee to pay for critical improvements to the stormwater infrastructure. The fee would be based on the amount of hard or paved surfaces on each property. The fee will be about $72 a year for the average homeowner in Baltimore.
We urge Baltimoreans to contact their member of the City Council before the June 11th meeting and tell them:
- It's time for Baltimore to take major steps to fix its inadequate stormwater system.
- I support the utility fee on polluted stormwater runoff to pay for urgently needed repairs.
- The fee should be applied fairly for all property owners.
- The fee should have a credit that encourages property owners to take steps to reduce runoff from their properties; in doing so, they will improve the quality of our waterways and reduce the fee they pay.
Find your City Council representative by clicking the City Council District Lookup. Enter your address, click on search and then click on the Council person's name to get their contact information. You can also find Council Member contact information at www.baltimorecitycouncil.com.
The following documents were created in collaboration with Healthy Harbor, a Waterfront Partnership Initiative. They contain more information about the Water Pollution Reduction Fee and what you can do to improve the quality of our streams and City.

Best Espresso
- Gorilla Coffee
97 Fifth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, 718-230-3244
It's as hard to find a consistently great espresso in New York as it is to find a root-beer float in Rome. Deftly pulled and properly short, rich, dense, and not too bitter, and with a decent crema, Gorilla's comes closest.
Best Macchiato
- Cipriani La Specialità
110 East 42nd Street, 212-557-5088
The perfect expression of steamed milk and espresso, marked with a fine tuft of froth, served in elegant china cups, and sipped standing up by Italian expats in $4,500 shoes.
Best Latte
- St. Helen Cafe
150 Wythe Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718-302-1197
Smooth and well balanced, it's made with a lush, syrupy espresso, and the owners, a pair of clothing designers and rabid coffee connoisseurs, execute the signature latte leaf to Pacific Northwest perfection.
Best Coffee Bar
- Joe
141 Waverly Place, 212-924-6750
Good coffee, latte, and Amy Sedaris's cupcakes, plus disheveled, groggy-eyed celebrities. Is that Philip Seymour Hoffman over there in the Adidas flip-flops?
Best Old-World Kaffeehaus
- Café Sabarsky
1048 Fifth Avenue, 212-288-0665
Rattan newspaper holders (filled with indecipherable Austrian newspapers), plenty of delicious Viennese pastries, and coffee served the old-fashioned way, on a silver tray with a cup of water on the side.

Pandas assist tea makers in China
POSTED: Monday, March 19, 2012 - 8:30am
UPDATED: Monday, March 19, 2012 - 9:33am
NBC News — Tea makers in China have created the world's most expensive tea and it's made with the help of pandas. The organic green tea blend is so expensive because it is fertilized exclusively with panda droppings.
Believe it or not, tea makers say panda excrement is highly prized due to its high nutritional value. The first batch of the organic tea blend is being sold for nearly $180 an ounce, or around $13 a tea bag. All the profits from the sale of the limited edition tea will be used to set up a fund to support environmental projects.

Even more frightening for those accused of DUI, the state agency doesn't deny those charges. In response to questions submitted by Fields, Michael J. Alderman, assistant general counsel for the DHSMV, told the court that none of the hearing officers has formal legal training and that they regularly have ex parte communications with agency attorneys, or prosecutors -- that is, unrecorded private discussions either outside of the courtroom or out of the hearing of court stenographers and defense lawyers.
Even totalitarian dictatorships pretend to be fair. But at DHSMV hearings, cases often come down to the defendant's word against the police officer's, and rarely will hearing officers believe the defendant over the civil servant, according to Fields. Additionally, evidence obtained improperly is hardly ever thrown out. For Breathalyzer results to be admitted into court evidence, the arresting police officer must have had reason to make the vehicle stop and then significant probable cause to give the sobriety check -- procedures that create a constitutional litmus test intended to ensure that police officers do not trample on driver's rights. "In many of these cases, where we've lost at the agency, the identical issue comes before the judge [in the criminal case] and we win," Fields says. In fact, Fields has had clients who were found not guilty of DUI criminal charges but still had their licenses suspended following a DHSMV civil hearing.
When he was asked for an interview, Alderman said his agency does not comment on pending litigation. However, he recommended that New Times e-mail him questions. He did not respond.
"In the finite wisdom of the Florida Legislature," Fields says, "lawmakers said, 'We're just going to have Selma and Patty [Homer Simpson's gruff, rowdy sisters-in-law, both DMV employees in "Springfield"] handle these cases.' Can't you just see them? They're smoking cigarettes, giggling, and saying: 'Oh, was that great! We suspended Homer's license again. '"
All of this is not to say that Roldan and other hearing officers do subpar work. Indeed, Roldan appears to perform her duties with respect and courtesy to both the defendants and the police officers testifying before her. In the hearing room, though, she sometimes candidly reveals her lack of legal sophistication. At one point during a hearing, Roldan commented to a defendant who was representing himself: "It's very complicated, very difficult to understand. It's all legal stuff." At another time, explaining her mandate to a defendant, she insisted: "I need to be fair. That's why I'm here, to be fair and impartial."
Fields sees his lawsuit, for which no court dates have been set, as a first step toward eliminating these kangaroo courts, which he believes have survived for more than a decade because their victims aren't popular in society. "You're asking for justice for people nobody likes," he says. "But that's what has to be done. If I don't do it, the government is like anyone else. They're going to do the least they have to do to get the result they want."

Gary Barlow has told Take That fans that the band will undertake a new stadium tour in the future.
The X Factor judge said he hopes the band will release a new album in 2013, followed by a tour.
Barlow is currently at number one in the record charts with his Diamond Jubilee track Sing.
Asked how he could "top" this, he told Radio 1: "Well you know what, I always get to this point and go 'well nothing's going to top that', and then something else comes along.
"But I've gotta say, it's going to take something very special to top that one."
Asked if there would be a new Take That album: "Well I hope so, next year I hope, yeah."
Barlow recently said that all the Take That band members were "looking forward" to recording a new album.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Take That's Robbie Williams will be performing at the closing ceremony at the London Olympics.

Fresh Berry Vinaigrette
Yield: Makes about 3/4 to 1 cup
These ingredients are:
Vegetarian Dairy-free Egg-free Gluten-free Soy-free Wheat-free
Creating your own salad dressing not only is economical but also truly simple. I love the fact they're so fresh tasting and versatile! Vinaigrette is, at its heart, simply a balance of vinegar and oil. From there you may add shallots and fresh herbs for a classic take, blend in ripe berries as a bright addition, or add ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil for a bit of an Asian twist. The possibilities are virtually endless and you are only limited by your imagination.
- 1/4 cup walnut oil or your favorite salad oil Add to list
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, Champagne vinegar or apple cider vinegar Add to list
- 1/2 cup ripe strawberries, capped and halved Add to list
- 2 teaspoons sugar or to taste (you may need more or less depending on the ripeness of the berries) Add to list
- Pinch of clove Add to list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Add to list
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Add to list
Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree. If it is a little thick, add a splash of orange or pomegranate juice.

The fourth candidate for Mayor of South Boston joined the race too late to be included in our original profile article (February 2 issue). Here's the lowdown on Colleen Foley.
There may something to the claim that a person's date of birth predicts the events in her life ("It's in the stars."). Colleen Foley, the fourth 2006 candidate in the run for Mayor of South Boston, was born on March 16. Her parents once told her the St. Patrick's Day Parade was to celebrate her birthday. Perhaps this year, it will be.
In addition, her license plate reads, "NOT-SHY". That characteristic may suit her very well in her campaign for Mayor. It certainly marks her as a South Boston driver.
Colleen was born on Patterson Way, and went to school at St. Augustine's and Cardinal Cushing. She was a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service for 12 years. Then, after a year and a half of study, she switched into massage therapy. She has worked with Vladimir Shulman, the massage therapist for the Celtics, and now is employed at the Logan Hilton Hotel.
Colleen has assembled an awesome campaign committee. Good friends Maryann Clarke and Kevin Barry have been a great help – from catchy ideas to distributing campaign literature. Leo Papile from the Celtics organization got her some sports memorabilia to raffle off in her quest for votes at The Stadium on February 26. She has four other fundraisers planned, starting with a Comedy Night at the Cornerstone on February 16. Look for the green, blue, and white posters saying "Holy Moley, Vote for Foley".
In her spare time, Colleen is a joiner. She is a member of the South Boston Yacht Club, as well as Elks Lodge 1171 in Revere. "I enjoy the camaraderie – they're a great bunch of people." she says of both groups. She also likes to read, and just finished a book of Irish short stories.
When asked why she's running for Mayor of South Boston this year, Colleen replies, "I've always watched while everyone else ran. Now, it's my turn." She also has her own personal slogan: "I'm ready. I can do it."
This is Colleen's first time in the public spotlight. According to her, support from everyone is essential to her campaign. You can vote for her as many "times", attend Election Day on March 4 at the Library, or you can send your votes to her Mayoral account at any branch of the Mt. Washington Bank.
(NOTE: In last week's photo of Colleen Foley, we mistakenly used the name "Murphy" instead of "Foley" in the caption. We apologize for the error.)

There is a scene in the coming-of-age movie, Almost Famous, in which the 11-year old boy discovers his older sister's record collection. As he feels his way through the large covers, pausing at times to move his hand across the cover art, we can almost sense the director's tenderness thinking back, and the boy's wonderment, about the mystery that lies inside the sleeves. That sense of anticipation, the discovery, flipping through the now-classic albums and those big square images, is brought to a climax when the needle of a plastic turntable arm drops upon the vinyl – thump – and the crackling of dust and static serves as a second-long intro to the opening riffs of Tommy.
Some of us who are old enough to remember the sensation may see the present-day parallel as a very thin shadow of it – an online sample, the click of a mouse, a Pandora suggestion, or in a best case the purchase of a tiny CD to hold, though probably not in any store where at the cash register some dude who has heard all the records is prone to pass judgment. You can still find a few such stores in the Village, but for the most part the richness and texture of the analog experience has vanished.
These observations are not merely meant to be nostalgic, although undoubtedly there is that, or to condescend on the new modes of entertainment consumption – which, despite the nostalgia and musings, offer convenience and exciting new toys, discovery tools, and (albeit virtual) social interaction. Nevertheless, if one web music machine after another is either shut down, restructured, or sold for nothing, we have to ask ourselves why this is. There must be more to the answer than merely "iTunes", because other parts of the media/entertainment spectrum seem to function reasonably enough with multiple competitors.
So, I am hereby wondering if the answer lies in the contrast between the album experience (illustrated with, admittedly, some romance above), and the more purely utilitarian and way more rapid digital music experience today. Perhaps the very nostalgia contains answers – or at least poses a question or two – about an industry that has struggled to maintain its economic and cultural prominence lately.
It has been well documented that the music-revenue opportunity of both record labels and artists has declined, and in many cases drastically. There have been a variety of reasons presented for this decline, from piracy to product fragmentation via MP3 downloads to the legal availability of free content… but on a certain level all of these explanations really speak to the same issue: a consumer experience that has been cheapened.
The album art and liner notes on CDs are small and negligible, and in the case of downloads almost completely absent. The sound quality in low bit-rate digital recordings is poor in comparison to analog vinyl. Songs that would have been "out-takes" in the 8-10 album-track era now make up tracks number 9 or 10 through 15 in the much greater memory bank of a CD. And the number of artists who have found an outlet on the web, almost impossible to keep up with, means that fewer and fewer can really make it "big".
There may be solutions in the music sector, and perhaps among the new products emerging in this field by the day there will be a breakthrough, or some new style, which will cause the industry and its fans to rediscover the grandeur of a previous era… or more likely a new form of grandeur that will make us forget the old. Still, with the experience of music behind us, one can't help to see the trends and technologies popping up in other forms of entertainment – online television and eBooks, for example – and wonder whether these will take both the business opportunity and the consumer experience down the same path.
Music, at least, will have had a head start, and could be well positioned to show us the way out. How ironic.

Pumping Essentials by ninatumbledown
{Oops this posted twice a week ago. I am terrible at Polyvore, apparently. Apologies!}
{Oops this posted twice a week ago. I am terrible at Polyvore, apparently. Apologies!}
This post is about breastfeeding, so feel free to take five if it isn't up your alley. I've been back at school now for a month, pumping on average 3 times a day. When looking around for tips prior to heading back, I found plenty of advice about which pump to buy, transitioning baby from breast to bottle and back again, and how to maintain an adequate supply while we're separated. All of this was truly helpful, and I'm hoping to pay it forward by doing a classic "whats in my bag" post with a twist.
What's in my pump bag? Well, to start with, my breastpump. On days when I'm not able to use my school's hospital-grade pump, I use the Medela Freestyle (1), which is pretty top-of-the-line, and in my opinion, well worth it. I do not generally believe that a higher price point yields a more superior product, but I strongly encourage those of you who will be pumping full-time to invest in the best pump you can. We're talking about motor strength, durability of parts, and customer service, which, when you're relying on a machine to help provide food for your child, are pretty important elements to consider. I also pack a handpump-- the Medela Harmony (2)-- in case my electric malfunctions. I never want to be faced with a day of discomfort or a drop in supply because I can't pump, and it takes up little real estate in my bag.
Pumping can be a messy job, but I try to reduce my use of disposable products whenever possible. I carry 2 Trader Joe's Kitchen Cloths (3) in my bag to wipe up any spills/drips when detaching the horns. They're super absorbent and washable, and brightly colored enough that they don't get lost in the laundry or my bag. I make sure to always pack extra caps for my bottles, and these Dr. Brown's replacement caps (4) are the cheapest option to fit the standard-sized Medela bottles.
Pumping eats up most of my free time during the day, so packing a nutritious lunch and snacks that can easily be eaten while pumping and getting reading done is essential. Since I carry a cooler for my milk, I've been stashing at least two string cheeses (5) inside, along with Trader Joe's trail mix (6) for easy snacking. Granola bars are great, too. Staying hydrated assists milk production, so I make sure to pack a bottle of water (7). While pumping, I catch up on student emails and read blogs on my iphone (8), which I swear was made for pumping moms.
I don't pump with a nursing cover, which I find a bit too restrictive for my usually solitary activity, but I do make sure to carry a large scarf (9) around, which can double as a cover in case I need to pump in a less private space than usual. I know people swear by their hands-free bras, which I love while pumping at home on my reading days, but when I have 30 minutes to pump, wash and be back in the classroom for lecture, I try to strip down as little as possible. I'm not sure if this only works for the well-endowed, but I am able to unclip my nursing bra, attach the pump horns, and reclip, which saves a good 2 minutes on each end of my session. If I can't wash my pump parts after a pump, I wipe them down with hand/face/pacifier wipes (10), which are cheaper than the breastpump wipes, or simply toss them in my cooler along with my pumped milk until my next session.
So there you have it, my pump bag in a post. Babytumbledown just hit 8 months, and has been exclusively breastfed from day 1. I hope this post is helpful to those of you currently pumping, or those of you considering it for the future. While it definitely takes some time and a good amount of dedication, I find that staying organized and having a checklist like the above makes it far less stressful than it could be. And now for a gratuitous baby picture:

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Proctor Silex 2 Slice Bagel Toaster #22333
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
In spite of its plain Jane looks and rock bottom price, the white and gray plastic Proctor Silex can be counted on to toast well with both one and two slices. Plus it can handle a hearty slice, a fat bagel, and a skinny English muffin. We found it hard to precisely select the settings, however. And if every moment counts in the morning, you'll want to look elsewhere; we found this unit slow to toast in GHRI tests.

The movie, reportedly scheduled to go into production any day now by We-Film-Anything Pictures, is all fact-based. The backstory, Tailpipe has learned, is that the Broward County Everglades have for years been seeded by the Fish and Wildlife Commission with "triploid grass carp" to control weeds. Oversized and supposedly sterile, they find bountiful grazing pastures in the ponds and channels on the eastern edges of the swamp.
As with any serene picture nowadays, there's a dark conspiracy theory attached to it. According to Frank Menser, a Broward county backyard herpetologist with more than 30 years' experience ogling Broward's scaliest creatures, those carp out there are actually breeding.
He got it all from an impeccable source, someone close to fish control authorities. The Fish Whisperer swears up and down that he's seen the impossible, Menser says. Baby grass carp in the Hillsboro canal in northern Broward County. Aiyee. Those monsters are breeding.
Grass carp eggs destined for Florida ponds are zapped with hormones and pressure treatment, making them "triploid" by giving them an extra chromosome. With too many chromosomes, the fish can't breed. Each batch of fish produced in Florida is rigorously tested for triploidy. But if the Fish Whisperer is right, the Everglades are in trouble.
Breeding grass carp would be a nightmare. There are hundreds of thousands of the huge fish in South Florida ponds. With a lifespan of up to 15 years and a hearty girth of up to 50 pounds, the carp would trample everything else in Florida's waterways. Nonsterile species of carp have already done that in other states, such as Illinois. What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a breeding and eating machine.
Could it be true? Tailpipe decided to go fishing to find out. Guided by e-mailed instructions from the Fish Whisperer, the 'Pipe found himself leaning out over the bank of the Hillsboro canal on a recent Saturday morning. In the shallows were plenty of small, silvery fish, many of which looked like the picture of carp small fry he'd studied on the computer. But Mesner wasn't so sure.
"That one's a tilapia," he said, frowning. "That's a saltwater fish it's not even supposed to be in here. And that one I'm not even sure what that is, but it's not a carp."
At one point, Menser gestured for the net that Tailpipe had brought for this outing, a tiny $1 plastic affair duct-taped to a large bass-catching net with a six-foot wooden handle.
Menser spent a half hour rummaging and pouncing in the reeds until the poor-man's carp-catcher broke apart under the dock. He caught a few minnows but, disappointingly, nothing that looked like carp small fry.
The 'Pipe returned home empty-handed to ask a carp expert how likely it was that his equipment malfunction had prevented a biological discovery of thrilling proportions.
"We've had a couple of reports of carp spawning, and it usually turns out to be other species," says David Douglas, the biological administrator and habitat and species conservation officer for The Fish and Wildlife Commission in Eustis. "If the triploid is a real triploid and has been produced correctly, then the answer should be 100 percent 'no. '"
"They don't reproduce," said Jon Fury, a regional fisheries biologist for the Fish and Wildlife Commission. "What he's probably seeing is either small lake chubsuckers, which is similar body structure to a grass carp. Or small golden shiners; they kind of have the same reflective coloration."
When pressed, Fury conceded that some normal, reproductively ready diploid carp might sneak through the regulation process. "Not every specific fish is checked," he says.
Scary echoes of Jeff Goldblum talking about supposedly sterile dinosaurs in Jurassic Park: "Life finds a way."
Could nature find a way?
"Well, I guess anything's possible," Fury says.
Tailpipe is keeping all the pipette toddlers in his family fenced in behind the home garage with an armed guard.
Panic Room
Although not as eagerly anticipated as the start of duck season, hurricane season does bring with it some odd birds. Like folks who'd lay down extra cash for a new home with a specially constructed room designed to let you ride out a killer Category 4 storm in high style.
Bentley Realty Group, a luxury townhome builder offering swank residences for the disposable-income set, is rolling out two new projects in Fort Lauderdale that come complete with the accouterments one would expect. Granite countertops, wood cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, and Jacuzzi-style bathtubs are all standard. For those who don't desire a repeat of last fall's electricity-less weeks filled with Scrabble and cold Spaghetti-O's, Bentley's new projects in Victoria Park and Riverside Park also promise "carefree luxury townhouse living" for $600,000 to $700,000. They've got "state-of-the-art hurricane protection."

Credit card fraud insurance
Using your credit card to make purchases comes with risks. The credit card could get lost or stolen, or the number could fall into the wrong hands. A handful of insurance companies offer protection from credit card fraud, but it's not necessary.
"Credit cards already come with an amazing amount of protection under the federal rules," says Anthony Giorgianni, associate finance editor for Consumer Reports Money Adviser.
For example, if you are a victim of credit card fraud, you will not be liable for fraudulent charges to your account.

On Israeli Apartheid and Matters of Life and Death
Earlier today, one of my Twitter followers accused me of supporting South African-style apartheid because I staunchly and with few apologies defend the nation of Israel. This baffled me. Surely defending Israel's right to exist as a nation does not mean that I support every move the nation makes, does it? To him, it does.
But I got thinking about the whole matter of Israeli apartheid and I realized that I don't have such a big problem with it. That's not to say I want it to continue. I certainly do not. However, given the situation in which Israel finds itself, thanks entirely to Palestinians, I can not imagine how else they could live even reasonable free and safe lives.
Consider: Israel is under a constant existential threat. Palestinians try to kill Israelis every day. Hamas, a Palestinian group that now governs Gaza launches rockets into Israel at the rate of at least hundreds a year. Israelis have been killed by Palestinians at nightclubs, playgrounds, restaurants, schools, and outside their own homes. They have been kidnapped from their own cars and held for ransom. Palestinians have done, and continue to do, all these things with the eventual goal of the destruction of Israel and the expulsion of every last Jew from of the Middle East.
They have gotten pretty good at killing Israelis, too. According to the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Palestinians have killed 1,170 Israelis since 2000 (not including 18 killed abroad in targeted attacks against Jews). If you boil that down to a per capita number, then compare it to the population of the United States, that would be equivalent to 49,145 dead or almost 4,915 Americans killed every year for the past ten years. That's more than died in battle deaths during Vietnam, the American Revolution, the War of 1912, the Mexican-American War, or the Korean War. That's more than died on 9/11 by almost 2,100.
Imagine suffering one and three-quarters 9/11s every year for a decade. How well would you sleep? What would you demand of your elected officials? How would you view Muslims?
Now, not every Palestinian wants Israel erased from the Earth. I want to make very plain that I do not consider every Palestinian a potential genocidal killer. the facts do not bear that out. But a significant number of them do and it is impossible to tell on sight which are the threats and which are not. The genocidal enemies of Israel make the situation worse by hiding themselves and their weapons among otherwise innocent Palestinians. They use them as human shields and propaganda tools. They pride themselves on it. It is how they have survived to this point because if they attacked Israel openly, in keeping with the laws of war, Israel would have annihilated them long ago. So they hide. They blend in. They make themselves look like every other Palestinian right to the moment when they reveal their rockets, their guns, their suicide bomb belts, their car bombs.
These are not my opinions. They are facts of life for the over 7 million Israelis who live under near-constant threat of death every day of their lives.
At this point, I want you to imagine that you are a member of the Israeli government charged with protecting your people. Let's say the number of murderous Palestinians to innocent was one in ten, a number that is, I think, low but that will work for this thought experiment. How would you be able to tell which Palestinian was that one who was looking for any way to kill dozens of your countrymen? What method would you use to sift the threats from the innocents? How could you give your people any sense of security?
If it were me, I'd set up a series of checkpoints and make people show their identifications. I'd make sure I strictly controlled those credentials and I'd compare them to the gigabytes of information my intelligence service had gathered on potential threats. I'd be very careful to whom I granted Israel citizenship. I'd prevent non-citizen Palestinians from living in Israel anywhere they wanted to help me use my limited security resources most efficiently. I'd build secure walls and patrol them vigorously. I'd create as much space between my people and the threats as I possibly could. I'd use my military to keep the known enemies from resupplying themselves.
You see the problem here. Israel can not act like it's Nebraska and the threat of death is rare. Those who govern the country have an obligation to secure their nation as best they can. I doubt very seriously they are happy about what they have to do. I do not for a second believe they take joy in the checkpoints and walls and buffer zones and blockades.
Of course, some folks will call these measures apartheid. They would be foolish to do so because, as Khaled Abu Toameh wrote in detail, Arab life in Israel is nothing at all like what blacks endured in South Africa. Arabs have a member of their very own in the Knesset, Israel's governing body. They enjoy a free media, go to the same beaches and shopping centers as Israelis, and enjoy freedoms they would not have in neighboring Egypt, Jordan, or Lebanon. They are not completely free, but neither are they oppressed as South African blacks were. They are not living in apartheid but in a regrettable situation largely of their own making.
The truth of the matter is that Palestinians could live free right now, with a country of their own, with a peaceable Israeli neighbor if Hamas and all the other killers among them would lay down their arms and forswear their genocidal ways. If Israel could be reasonably certain that their people were not in constant danger, they would lift many of the security measures that now exist. They would have no reason to keep them and, if for some reason they did, they would find even staunch supporters demanding their removal. That's not to say that all the issues between Israel and Arab would go away. There is a long history there that can not be erased overnight. But that history can not be addressed while Israel faces a death sentence and no reasonable person should insist they act as if that death sentence does not exist.
I recommend a couple articles to you today. Jay Nordlinger has an extended post at The Corner that addresses some of the issues I brought up, Helen Thomas' anti-Semitism, and what the discussion this week is really all about. Yoram Dori, adviser to Israeli President Shimon Peres, wrote an open letter to Helen Thomas that is shockingly direct and far more polite than I could have managed. His question is very simple: why does she want to prevent him from living the simply, peaceful life that she enjoys?

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 11
Posted By: Phoebe O+Date: Friday, 1 October 1999, at 3:23 p.m.
I know there was a post not too long ago about trembling hands but I cannot locate it in the archives so I am requesting help on this subject. Lately, my hands tremble alot. At first I thought it was because my blood sugar might be low as I would notice it when I hadn't eaten in a while or first thing in the morning before I ate. But as I sit here typing at 3:20pm, after I have eaten lunch, my hands are really trembling badly. It seems like in the previous thread concerning this same subject that someone said something about dairy making a persons hands tremble but I haven't eaten much if any dairy in a while. I had a little cheese (a pinch of shredded cheddar) several days ago - could that be doing it? I have noticed it a bit more lately and I have probably eaten a few more avoids lately also. I guess I'm wondering if it could be another condition, problem, etc., that I should be concerned about. Any advice, suggestions, thoughts, or theories, are welcome. Thanks in advance for your ever present help. Phoebe

Veronica Ngô Thanh Vân is a Vietnamese dancer, singer, actress, and model. She is also known as Veronica Ngo or her initials NTV.
She was born on 26 February 1979 in Tra Vinh, Vietnam. When she was 10, she moved to Norway with her family, but later relocated to Vietnam, starting her public career.
In 1999, NTV went back to Vietnam and participated in a beauty pageant of the Vietnamese Women's World magazine where she finished as second runner-up. After that, she started her career in Vietnam as a model for magazines, calendars, fashion collections, et cetera. At that time, she had a chance to appear on the small screen with a main role in Huong De, a short TV series on HTV Channel.[clarification needed]
In 2002, she started her career as a pop-dance style singer with the help of producer Quoc Bao. She recorded the duet album called Vuon Tinh Nhan (Lovers' Garden) with Tuan Hung.
One year later, with the help of producer Quoc Bao, NTV released her debut album, The Gioi Tro Choi (Playworld), on February 26. This album was a power pop-dance LP with a story about "NTV Virus". Two music videos were taken from the album; "The Gioi Tro Choi" & "Ngay Tuoi Sang", a cover version of JTL's "A Better Day", which was directed by Jackie Chen. These two videos were the first Vietnamese music videos to feature professional special effects and are listed as the most expensive Vietnamese music videos to date.
In 2004, continuing the story of NTV Virus, Ngo Thanh Van presented her second album, Bi An Vang Trang (Mystery of the Moon), which featured a moon theme, on March 15. Three videos were released from this album: "Bi An Vang Trang", the cheerleader theme "Vuon Toi tam Cao (Reach for the Sky)", and the ballad "Khi Nao Em Buon (Whenever I'm Sad)", which later was covered[clarification needed] by Mat Ngoc, Minh Thuan and Thanh Thao.
During 2004, Ngo Thanh Van made her first international appearance in Rouge, a 13-part MTV television series that is shown mostly around midnight on AZN Television. 'Rouge' was produced by MTV Asia & MediaCorp Singapore and was broadcast widely in Asia and Australia.[citation needed] For the remainder of the year, NTV was busy with the promotion campaign of Rouge throughout Asia and recording her third album. She was also chosen as the favourite actress in Rouge on the MTV Asia website.
On September 5, 2005, My Way, Ngo Thanh Van's third album, was released. This album was produced by NTV herself and featured a collaboration with a group of producers called The Dreams. My Way featured multiple genres, from alternative rock to pop, R&B, and hip hop. She remixed her way the famous Trinh Cong Son's song called "Quynh Huong".
In 2005 she was involved in a scandal with the website ngothanhvanxao.com.[citation needed]
After My Way, NTV engaged herself in acting, with many roles in big screen movies like Saigon Love Story by Ringo Le, 2 In 1 by Dao Duy Phuc, and The Rebel by Charlie Nguyen Chanh Truc with Johnny Tri Nguyen. The Rebel is a big hit in Vietnam movie history, Ngo Thanh Van's performance was highly praised by both critics and the public.[citation needed] She was nominated for "Best Actress" at the 'Canh Dieu Vang' award for the second time.[citation needed] In spring of 2007, NTV starred in a new thriller called Ngoi Nha Bi An (Haunted Manor), which reached cinemas in November 2007. In December 2007, Ngo Thanh Van was awarded "Best Actress" at the 15th Vietnam Film Festival.[citation needed]
In the Autumn of 2006, after the two months break in America, NTV went back to Vietnam, and started recording her 4th album which she promised would be a dance anthem record. On October 2006, NTV also premiered one of her new songs "I Won't Stop Loving You," a new collaboration with Quoc Bao, on the final episode of 21st Century Woman which was on VTV. But due to heavy promotion of The Rebel movie, the album release was pushed back to the summer of 2007. In May 2007, Ngo Thanh Van announced that the fourth album title would be Studio 68 and claimed that 68 was her lucky number. She released Studio 68 on January 10, 2008.
In 2006 Ngo Thanh Van signed a contract to appear in the Van Son DVD musical & comedy shows, produced by Van Son Entertainment, a Vietnamese Overseas Music Production. She has since appeared in every Van Son DVD to date.
During the first months of 2008, Ngo Thanh Van was working on her new album Nuoc Mat Thien Than (Tears of Angel), while "Studio 68" was awarded "Most Creative Album" in monthly "Album Vang" prize.
2009 saw NTV once again starred beside Johnny Tri Nguyen in Chanh Phuong action movie Clash. She also opened her own talent agency called VAA.
In 2010, NTV starred in Vietnamese version of "Dancing With The Stars". She finished first place in the competition and became the winner of Vietnam's "Dancing With The Stars" season 1. After winning, NTV revealed that she would return to music in 2011. In Autumn, she embarked on a national promotion tour.
In December 2010, after 2 years training, NTV presented the first act of her agency, a five-piece boy-band called 365.
In 2011, NTV was busy with the promotion of 365, commercial contracts. She also played the leading role in the thriller "Ngoi Nha Trong Hem" (House In The Alley). The movie premiered nationwide in February 2012.
Below is the list of albums released by Ngo Thanh Van and other music productions that she appeared in.

Help's A Firewall Away |
Source: InformationWeek - Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas | ||
Flash back to December 2002. Barely in his 20s, self-taught network engineer and help-desk staffer Joel Bomgaars is frustrated because firewalls prevent him from accessing PCs of users needing help. At his cubical at systems integrator Business Communications Inc., he has an epiphany: Instead of accessing the user's computer, have the user request help by going to a Web site. That would clear the firewall hurdles, because firewalls only block incoming messages. The idea worked, and Bomgaars was able to connect with a user within 10 seconds. Fast forward three years: Bomgaars, now 25, is CEO of upstart NetworkStreaming Inc., which is pulling in millions of dollars a year on an appliance based on the 2002 brainstorm.
