Letter: Governance at issue in Scarborough vote
I am urging the citizens of Scarborough to get to Town Hall and vote on the referendum to either keep or overturn the new dog ordinance enacted by the Town Council Oct. 2. This law requires dogs to be leashed at all times on all town-owned property.
This law was enacted without due process. A body of seven elected public servants should not be able to make a law that so negatively impacts the quality of life for so many citizens without said citizens' input.
A Scarborough voter may not care about this law if he or she doesn't own a dog, doesn't use the beach, always keeps their dog on a leash or keeps their dog at home. That is OK, but the next law enacted by the council in seconds and without careful consideration may be the law that negatively impacts you.
Get out and vote, for or against the new ordinance, and let the council know that the citizens of Scarborough are interested in how they are governed.
Caroline Ahonen

Cingular BlackBerry 8800 has Google Maps and GPS
Wednesday, May 23, 2007
Some of us have a great sense of direction, and others find themselves, well, a little lost at times. For those in the latter camp, you can thank Cingular for launching the BlackBerry® 8800, the latest open GPS-enabled device from a major U.S. carrier. That means that when you use Google Maps for mobile, your location automatically shows up on the map.
When you download Google Maps for mobile and fire it up, you'll notice something quite unusual: a blinking blue dot showing you exactly where you are! You can use your auto-detected location to get directions and perform local searches without even entering your location -- instead of "pizza 94043", just enter "pizza" -- and we'll automatically know you want pizza in the zip code "94043."
So here's a great big hats off to Cingular -- this BlackBerry® 8800 with GPS is awesome!

Why Buying Health Care Should be More Like Buying Cars
April 18, 2012 1 Comment
"If domestic hospitals actually had to compete with international hospitals the way American car companies have to compete with Toyota and Honda, they might be forced to become more efficient."
That's the thesis of James Surowiecki, contributor to The New Yorker's Financial Page, who suggests in his recent Club Med article that, in an economy with the cost of health care on the rise, 40 million uninsured and Obamacare possibly set to be overturned by the Supreme Court, the popularity of medical travel will reach a Gladwellian tipping point.
Mr. Surowiecki conjectures that remaining barriers to medical travel – also known as destination health care – have eroded. Already a popular practice (some hospitals treat more than 400,000 foreign patients per year), destination health care is set to become commonplace as a matter of economic necessity.
Americans will, as a matter of course, include international hospitals in Latin America, Europe and Asia among their consideration set when reviewing treatment alternatives. Their employers and American medical device manufacturers will lead the way.
They will be motivated as much by the 5 star care of international surgeons and hospitals as by the significant savings over the US health care system's steep costs. Read the whole story "Why the Logic of Free Trade In Medicine Is Becoming Harder To Resist" over at The Health Traveler.
Learn more about destination health care for treatments as varied as adult stem cell treatment for COPD, metabolic surgery for Type 2 diabetes, dental care and more here.

So I am studying idioms and in many cases I come across one whose words I understand but whose meaning must apparently lie in a deeper story.
In this case, I keep thinking there must be a larger story that would put the entire thing in context.
Any thoughts on the source of the idiomatic expression?
Any resource for etymology of idioms would be appreciated.

CFL team cuts former Alamo Heights star QB
Staff report : June 24, 2013 : Updated: June 24, 2013 2:48pm

Alamo Height grad Chase Clement rewrote the Rice record book with 9,785 yards, 832 completions, 1,387 attempts and 99 TDs in a career that ended with him winning the C-USA MVP in 2008. He passed for 4,119 yards his senior year and went on to win MVP honors for the Las Vegas Locomotives in the 2010 UFL championship game.

After starting his career at Alabama, Churchill grad Nick Fanuzzi played the past three seasons at Rice. He completed 60.4 percent of his passes (425 of 704) for 4,402 yards with 29 TDs and 19 interceptions for the Owls. Last year, he joined the Rice record book as the third quarterback in school history to surpass 400 yards with 405 in a 41-37 victory over UTEP. The other two Rice QBs to hit the 400-yard mark are also San Antonians -- Tommy Kramer and Chase Clement.

Chase Clement, a former Alamo Heights High School and Rice star quarterback, has been cut by the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Clement, who signed with Winnipeg on April 8 and competed for a roster spot during training camp, was one of 21 players the Blue Bombers released Saturday.

"She's in good physical condition and receiving excellent care," Marcie Moriarty, the chief prevention and enforcement officer for the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, tells PEOPLE.
The puppy, named Sade after the famous British singer, has become something of a "celebrity" herself after the incident at a Vancouver hotel, according to Moriarty.
Disturbing footage of the elevator attack on the Doberman went viral this week, after a security tape depicting a man kicking and strangling the frightened pup was leaked to the press.
The man, identified as Centerplate CEO Desmond Hague, says he was taking care of Sade for his friend at the time of the incident in July. Hague now faces charges of animal cruelty and was ordered to pay $100,000 and do 1,000 hours of community service to animal charities to keep his job.
Since the incident, Sade has been under the care of the SPCA and Moriarty, who says she has not yet decided whether the puppy will be returned to her owner.
"There will be a good outcome for Sade, no matter what," promises Moriarty – even if that means she's adopted by a new family.

What the Heck Is a Smartwatch, and Why Might I Want One?
You might have seen that Google announced some big news involving smartwatches on Tuesday. Google created a tweaked version of its Android operating system that will make it easy and cheap for other tech companies, including Samsung, HTC, and LG, to create smartwatches that run Google's software.
The upshot here is that there are going to be way, way more smartwatches in electronics stores in the coming months.
But wait a second. Let's take a step back. You might have never seen a smartwatch. You might not know what one is. We're here to answer all your questions about this new category of tech products, which could join the smartphone and the tablet as the new must-have gadgets.
Here goes.
What is a smartwatch?
Our columnist David Pogue recently tackled the topic of what makes a device "smart." Throwing "smart" in front of something usually means that the device is connected to the Internet in some way or another.
So "smartwatch" generally refers to a watch that connects to the Internet, and also to other devices like smartphones or tablets, in order to deliver real-time information to your wrist. You can think of it as a watch that does more than just keep time, with some basic functions similar to those you might find on a smartphone.
As smart as these new watches may be, they still require a connection to a smartphone or tablet to be fully-functional. They're basically companions or add-ons to the smarter device in your pocket.
Who makes them?
The first "big name" gadget maker to hit us with a full-effort smartwatch launch has been Samsung. The company now offers two versions of its Galaxy Gear smartwatch, which can retrieve text messages, control your television, and track your activity. (See? It's smart.)
Samsung's Gear 2
Probably the closest thing to Samsung's Galaxy Gear is Sony's SmartWatch 2, which also performs several of the more basic smartphone functions right on your wrist.
The Pebble smartwatch, meanwhile, was introduced in early 2013, a Kickstarter project turned hit. Cheaper than both the Gear 2 and the SmartWatch 2, the Pebble is notable for having a screen made from E Ink (like you'd find on Amazon's Kindle e-reader) to conserve its battery. Though the Pebble can last longer, it lacks some of the more sophisticated features of either Sony's or Samsung's offerings.

"Simple, delicious, and the mustard sauce makes it a nice change."

1/3 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
black pepper
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
1/2 cup
shallot, chopped
1/2 cup
dry vermouth
1/2 cup
chicken broth
2 tablespoons
Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons
stone ground mustard
1/4 cup
heavy cream
1 teaspoon
chopped fresh parsley
lemon, juice and pulp
I loved this recipe! The flavors are wonderful. It's great served over rice pilaf or white rice if you prefer. The only things I did differently were that I didn't have a shallot so I used a clove of garlic (I'm a big garlic lover). I also didn't have heavy cream so I used whole milk. I don't think it matters much since you use so little of it. The sauce was still thick and rich and really flavorful. I probably cut a few calories that way. One of these days I think I might try a bit less butter or half butter, half olive oil. Just to see if I can make it a bit more calorie friendly.
Not bad, but it didn't "wow" me either. I subbed 2% milk for the cream & marsala for the vermouth.
22 Ratings
Oh, is this a winner! With a few little "adjustments," this is easily a 5-star dish, one I enjoyed every bite of. I cut the chicken into strips, floured it, but didn't season it with salt and pepper until it was in the skillet, sautéing in olive oil (pure, not extra virgin, for its higher burning temperature). When it was golden brown I removed it from the pan as directed, and sautéed the shallots along with some fresh minced garlic and a good handful of chopped red bell pepper, as it seemed this seriously needed some color. To that I added both mustards, the chicken broth and white wine (which filled in for the vermouth because I was too lazy to go down to the basement, where we keep our liquor and wine, for the vermouth). I gave it a good squeeze of lemon juice but no pulp, then let that reduce somewhat before I added the cream. I let that cook over low heat until I had the consistency I wanted, adding more cream and broth as necessary while I tended to the rest of dinner. The chicken was so pretty and golden brown I just couldn't see tossing it with the cream and burying its rich color. Instead, I plated the chicken, spooned some sauce over, and gave it a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley. The chicken was sooo tender, and just delicious against the creamy, slightly tangy sauce. The combination of the two mustards with the rest of the well-chosen ingredients created a sauce that was just exquisite. This is a simply lovely dish.
This combination is amazing. I didn't have vermouth, so I used riesling wine instead. We used thin sliced whole chicken breasts to keep the moisture. Fried on super high heat for a shorter time. Used half butter/half extra-virgin olive oil. Made about double the sauce by doing another set of broth/wine/ after the first reduction, then adding cream to taste.
Wonderful flavor! I found this recipe when I was looking for a chicken/mustard filling for crepes for Marti Gras. This was perfect! I filled whole wheat crepes with this chicken, sauteed spinach and Gruyere cheese and topped them with carmelized onions! The taste was fanastic!
This was good. I used white wine instead of vermouth and the juice of half a lemon with no pulp. At first I thought the 2 mustards would be overpowering but it wasn't at all. Thanks for the recipe.
I had to improvise with the mustards because I didn't have plain dijon. I used a maple dijon. Everyone love it.
This recipe was absolutely top notch. I also use the mustard sauce with pork tenderloin.

Theme Paper: SCUSA 66 Theme Paper.pdf
How do we think about – and plan for – the unthinkable? Contemplating the apocalypse has traditionally been a task reserved for prophets, poets, and philosophers. Today they are joined by statesmen and bureaucrats. As the modern state comes to oversee emergency management and disaster relief, real-world policymakers increasingly find themselves forced to envision the worst that can happen. To what degree do they succeed in doing so? How can individuals in an ordered society properly anticipate disorder? What are today's worst case scenarios and to what degree is U.S. foreign policy prepared to respond to them?

Hi Everyone! My name is Sol, I'm 16 (almost 17) years old. I've been a Zac fan since late 2006 and he's one of my favourite actors.
I don't know exactly what I've to post here so I'm figured that I should talk about the things I like, lol.
My favourite Zac movie can be 17 Again or Charlie St. Cloud, it depends of the humor I have (hahaha). My favourite Zac song is It Takes Two from Hairspray.
My other non Zac related movies are Atonement, My Best Friend's Weeding, Harry Potter movies, Moulin Rouge, The Notebook, Dear John, and a lot more.
Between my favourite celebrities are Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Lea Michele, Chord Overstreet, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley, Tom Felton, Dianna Agron, Mark Salling, Taylor Swift, Emma Stone and many many more, lol.
I don't like a specif type of music, a little bit of everything to be honest. Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are maybe my favourite musicians.
I love maths and I hope to one day become an accountant.
I think that's pretty much all, I have a tumblr too, so maybe I know a few people on here because of that, lol.
I hope to find new friends and discuss a lot of Zac related topics but most important, to have a lot of fun!

who breastfeeds and formula feeds?
I'm exclusively nursing myself. It is indeed hard, but so worth it. I am not going to pump or formula feed because I don't want to disturb the balance of supply and demand my baby and my boobs have got going right now. I know my baby can get more milk out of my boobs than any pump could. I also do lots of skin-to-skin. For the milk supply, but also because it's fun .
But I definitely hear ya: My nipples are also sore as hell. There were some small wounds on them because of a bad latch in the beginning... So now I try to 'air out' my boobs as often as I can. Just squeeze some breast milk out and spread it over the nipple, let it air dry. By now (LO is a week old), they are almost completely healed and the soreness is already a lot better.
Off course this is a very personal decision. If you feel like combining BF and FF is the way to go for you, more power to you!
"Alcohol - the cause of and solution to all of life's problems" ~Homer Simpson
My baby refuses to latch on. I am able to pump 8oz a day and the rest is formula.

Arriving in the U.S.
Getting a J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa
Once admitted, international students are issued a Form DS-2019 by the International Student Office. The Form DS-2019 is used to apply for a J-1 exchange visitor visa.
The first step is to pay your SEVIS fee. This is done by logging on to www.fmjfee.com and paying the fee. The University of West Florida's Exchange Visitor Program number is P-1-05068.
After paying the SEVIS fee, it is possible to schedule an appointment with an embassy or consulate for a visa interview. The U.S. Department of State Exchange Visitor Visa Website is a valuable resource and will guide students through the process.
Arriving in Pensacola
It is suggested that students plan to arrive by plane. Trains and buses are not typically convenient transportation in this region. The nearest airport is Pensacola International Airport. Upon arrival, students typically take a taxi to the university. Taxicab fare usually costs between $25-35(USD).
Orientation and Check In
A new international student at UWF is required to do several things:
Check in with the International Student Office
New international students must check in with the International Student Office. Legal status is not activated until check in is completed. At check in students need to bring:
1. Passport
2. Visa
3. Form DS-2019
4. Proof of health insurance or a credit card to purchase health insurance with.
Students who do not check in within thirty(30) days lose their legal status as non-immigrants and will be terminated.
Attend the Mandatory International Student Office Orientation
All new international students are required to attend the International Student Office orientation. Any student who misses the orientation is required to complete a make-up orientation at a later date.

Senate jumping the judge
This editorial appeared in the News & Record, Greensboro
The state Senate recently approved what could be called the Judge Robert H. Hobgood provision.
Hobgood has been a thorn in the side to legislative Republicans this year. First, he ruled that the private school voucher program enacted last year is unconstitutional. Next, he rendered the same judgment about a mandate for local school boards to offer bonuses to 25 percent of eligible teachers who agreed to surrender their tenure rights.
After the second ruling, Senate leader Phil Berger denounced it as a "classic case of judicial activism" by "a single Wake County judge."
Hobgood is from Franklin County, but he had heard the case in Wake County.
In response, the Senate passed a measure that will prevent any single judge -- activist or not -- from ruling in a similar case.
In any constitutional challenge to an act of the legislature, the provision says, the case will be heard in Wake County by a three-judge panel appointed by the chief justice of the N.C. Supreme Court.
Appeals of panel decisions would go directly to the Supreme Court rather than to the intermediate Court of Appeals. And orders would be automatically stayed pending appeal.
The last point would mean that, for example, Hobgood's order stopping the anti-tenure law would be set aside for however long the Supreme Court would take to issue a final decision -- maybe a year or more.
N.C. State Bar Association Executive Director Allan B. Head expressed "strong concerns about the constitutionality of a legislature telling a court it must automatically stay its own orders. The provision is a violation of separation of powers and not in the best interests of the public."
That's a valid complaint. Besides, a program or policy that a judge has determined to be unconstitutional should not go into effect unless and until that judge has been overruled by a higher court. A stay is the best mechanism to prevent harm. After all, the higher court might agree that the measure contradicts the constitution.
Using a three-judge panel instead of a single judge sounds like a waste of resources for a court system that already has more work than it can manage. But bypassing the Court of Appeals could make up for that.
It's obvious, however, that the idea behind this isn't to improve the quality or speed of justice. It's a knee-jerk reaction to some adverse rulings, particularly by a single judge. Under this measure, that judge no longer would have that opportunity.
This change shouldn't make a difference to the ultimate outcomes. A three-judge panel, and the Supreme Court reviewing a case on appeal, will look through the same legal lens. If a law violates the state or federal constitution, it must be stopped from taking effect. Three judges, or seven, can come to the same conclusion as one.
The best way for the legislature to avoid adverse court rulings is to not enact laws that conflict with the constitution. Every judge in the state should be activist enough to say no to those.

The slithery, cold-blooded world of reptiles is a powerful passion for Michael Eric Haug of Ravenel.
He has 85 snakes and some crocodiles at his home.
"I've got a good collection, I've been into animals my whole life. Ever since I was little," he said.
Sure, snakes seem creepy to some, and the venomous ones require careful handling. For Haug, though, there is a serpentine beauty to the crawling critters.
Haug's fascination with serpents was fueled when he and his dad caught copperheads that they took to the Edisto Island Serpentarium.
"He finally just asked one of the owners for a job," said Judy Johnson, who does marketing for the reptile preserve.
"He's probably one of the nicest young men you will ever meet," she said.
Haug, 20, said he loves going to work.
"I get paid to play," he said.
He is one of the most experienced hands at the tourist attraction where he started working six years ago. He takes care of between 400 and 500 snakes.
"He breeds them," Johnson said.
He also provides medical care for the serpents, she said.
No snakes
At first, his mother was less than enthused with his idea of a pet serpent.
"She told me she would never have a snake in the house," he said.
After getting good grades, though, he was allowed a ball python.
Now he is part of a traveling serpentarium snake show that
visited North Charleston for the 15th annual Charleston County Earth Day Festival last weekend.
While at North Charleston's Riverfront Park, Haug talked with a curious crowd about the sorts of serpents on display.
The eastern diamondback rattlesnake enclosure with its clear wall facing the crowd was mostly draped in cloth. Haug worried about the snake hurting itself by slamming into the glass as it tried to strike people looking at it. So the visitors were asked to take a peek at the snake from an angle at an end of the cage.
In addition, the serpentarium brought to North Charleston a ball python, a canebreak rattlesnake, a water moccasin, a copperhead and a king snake.
The copperhead, he said, is the most common venomous snake in this region.
Haug and Ken Alfieri put on a snake show at the festival for an attentive crowd. Haug appeared on stage with the python draped around his neck. The children were told to back up at least five feet when the venomous snakes were brought out.
Has Haug ever been bitten? Sure, but not by the poisonous ones. "And nothing else counts," he said.
Handling potentially lethal snakes requires common sense, experience and an ability to read reptilian body language for behavioral cues.
Serpents can be unpredictable.
"Snakes can't read a book. So they're doing what they want to, not what the book says."
Snake myths abound, including the one that serpents chase people. That's not true, he said.
"They're slow and stupid. They can't really move that fast," he said.
Viper hunt
Haug and other serpentarium staff were called to a Mount Pleasant apartment complex in early April when the shed skin of a deadly Gaboon viper was reportedly found.
"We hunted the whole area," he said.
If, in fact, there was a viper on the loose, it would be dead by now because the temperatures had dropped into the lethally cold range, he said.
He wondered if the whole thing was not a joke of some kind because the snake skin was found on April Fool's Day. The skin, which was in pieces, should not have been so brittle, he said.
"You can't hunt a hoax," he said.
He worried that such incidents will play into recent attempts to ban ownership of exotic pets.
Dogs and snakes
As a child, Haug said he did not care about Matchbox cars and GI Joe action figures. Living in the woods put him in touch with animals.
"It just kind of came naturally," he said.
His girlfriend, Victoria Sineath, a Jacksonboro waitress, helps him feed and care for snakes.
"She's slowly getting into it," he said.
He has canines, too, including a pit bull/lab mix and an Australian cattle dog that spend time around the snakes.
"They tolerate them. I've tried to train them to hunt snakes. They won't do it," he said.
At one point, he had 250 snakes at home. That may seem frightening to some, but for Haug, all that slithering and hissing is welcome. The belly-crawlers are really quite remarkable, he said.
"How many animals do you know that can survive just fine with no arms and no legs?"

Thanks Alex, I saw what you were talking about. I had it correct originally but over shot the shadow and lost my curve, I have corrected the bottom of the cup and all is good now, thank you
It would be nice if we messed up we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over
C & C Always Welcome
Marsha this is a very pretty still life. I love the colors.
Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
Marsha, I was going to say that now you got your feet wet with OPs but should say that now you got your hands dirty. You did a good job with them and I love all the shiny reflections and colors. The only suggestion I have has already been mentioned by Alex.
Some facts about OPs:
It is best to work on papers with tooth. You are able to get more layers with a toothy support. I add tooth by applying gesso and smoothing it with a foam roller or by adding Colorfix Primer the same way. You can buy Colorfix papers but the primer is cheaper. You also can add pumice to acrylic paints. If you are using white gesso or Colorfix Primer, you can add any color of acrylics to tint it. You can use paper for support or illustration board or masonite board - there are many possibilities.
If your OPs are hard and some brands are, they can be warmed up before using them. A microwave for a second or two or three or set them on something that is barely warm. Maybe a heating pad set very low with some padding between the OPs and the heating pad. You don't want to melt them, just soften them.
Sennelier are the softest OPs and the harder ones are Caran d'Ache Neopastels and Erengi. I haven't tried any other hard OPs. My favorite brand is Holbein - neither too soft or too hard. You will find all kinds of tips and suggestions on the OP forum on Wet Canvas.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Marsha and Everybody, it has been a few years since I had my students order this. Maybe you can still get it. Email Tommy Esposito at firstname.lastname@example.com and request samples of Uart pastel papers. Don't forget to give him your mailing address. He sent each of my students a package of 15 sheets (7"X15"). Uart comes in different degrees of coarseness and the lighter sheets can be used for colored pencil as well as pastels and oil pastels. You can read about it on their Web site. I was about to give you the link but then remembered that Artist Daily will block this post if I include a link. Try www(dot)uartpastelpaper(dot)com. Let me know if you get it.
Sam - Thanks for sharing the link. I see that Dick Blick carries that paper and I want to put in an order from them very soon, so will add the pastel paper. I don't usually do pastels, but it looks fun. My next proj. aside from the Jan. chall., will be to an acrylic ptg. (portrait), so will need to look into the rec. colors/brands for that to tack onto my DB order too.
Marsha - Your reflections are awesome. Your colors certainly put the "life" into still life!
Alex - So glad to see your female cardinal. She doesn't get enough attn., but she's a beauty, as you have demonstated. Lovely ptg. with rich browns.
Fred - "Happy" comes to mind upon seeing your ptg. - perhaps it's the colors or the theme. Either way, it makes me smile.
Holly - What an outstanding ptg.! I would not have thought of making the comp. and color chgs. you did, but your creativity paid off for this, turning a good photo into a super ptg.. So sorry to hear of your nephew's struggles with ALS. It's sad, but it's good he has a little one to distract and to think of.
I'm still playing around with how to best post work, so here's just a quickie (as in 15 min) watercolor and ink that I began yrs. ago. It started as just the snowan with suggestion of foreground and a sky. However, I had accidentally hit my pen on the sky, so a noticeable black line showed up in the sky! I put it in a pile to make into a card someday, and today I needed a card. THEN proceeded to improve it by adding snow flakes to cover my pen mark, THEN ruined it (supposed to be birds trying to get his scarf to put on...but it looks like a snake or worse and the birds don't look like birds - didn't even look at a ref. photo so it serves me right, and FINALLY salvaged it for the better - I think.
To fix this, I cut away the scarf and birds gone wrong, cut up an old greeting card to recycle (keep a box of that around) for a blue color to go with the snowman (the bottom edge was asymmetrical in its contour but I didn't mind it) - it's the furthest back piece; added a blue cut out from the same card to act as a front flap;, then scored the top ptg. for it to open easily, and added a darker paper inside (loose) to write a short note on, which is folded so the writing won't show when first viewing.
Anyway, the horrible snake-scarf is out and I think it's a much better solution to have this like the above with the snowman's bottom to act as a tuck-in tab.
Posting this will give me more exper. with this forum's ins/outs. Thanks for your patience.
I haven't sent this off yet as a card if you have suggestions.
Kim T (Kim513)
C&C welcome!
Kim, your snowman card is so cute. I love the way you gave him a base. Love the snow flakes. I don't think that the birds went wrong but at least one of them survived. If you know someone who is sick this winter, send this to them saying that you are sending a "cool dude" to cheer them up.
Sam and Jen: Thank you both for your sharing your inputs and expertise with me. I appreciate it. I am in a new world. I feel excited about it.
Alex: I re-read my response I made to you and realized it had a double entendre.. ("I had it correct originally, but over shot the shadow and lost my curve" ) hmmmm you get what life deals you.... regarding loosing the curve ... tee hee....
Kim: Very cute card. I love when mistakes can be turned into treasures...
Holly: I'm sure everyone will enjoy your pie.... I used to make simple cinnamon sticks out of the leftover dough or glazed walnut roll ups with cinnamon and sugar. I come from Walnut and Almond country.... Northern California....
Extra chatter note: Saturday I had my regular Jazz event and that particular band leader is 91 and was in Count Basie's band, The band was magnificent, but afterward, he collapsed and we thought OMG he is dying right here in front of us, while the ambulance took him to the hospital, I went to his house to get his wife . but amazingly he is ok, the hospital called and he was going to be sent home. he just had a low blood pressure episode due to not eating all day. I stayed with her until our friends brought him home because she was beside herself... it was a scary evening...His big band is great and gets the most fans to come in to see him.... He's been a dear friend of mine for 18 years... I know his time is coming but we want to hang on to him... I started this producing big bands because of him. The band had no place to play in Las Vegas until I started this now I have 7 or 8 big bands but if something happens to him I 'm giving it up its become to stressful to keep doing this ....His wife told me this is what is keeping him alive looking forward to the first Saturday of each month to lead his Big Band. His Name is Jimmy Wilkins if you want to look him up on the internet.
Thanks Sam & Marsha - at least it gave me some more exper. posting a photo here. With your votes of confidence, I'll be sure to send it off tomorrow.
Marsha, the info. on Jimmy Wilkins was interesting. I enjoyed listening to the YouTube of the band, as well as reading an interview online. He mentioned playing trombone and my 11 yr. old daughter just started playing trombone this yr.. So far she is barking notes, but I actually guessed at her song tonight so perhaps there's hope yet. I'll have her listen to Jimmy's band to inspire her. Thanks for sharing.
Kim, very clever to save what you liked about the drawing and incorporate it into another piece! Your shading on the left effectively suggests the graininess of snow and gives the drawing dimension. I especially love the addition of the delicately drawn snowflakes. It's great to have you participate!
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Kim...I wonder how it would look if you put two tiny pin holes on either side of the neck and then drew a red, green, blue or whatever color piece of yarn through and tied it in front like a scarf? Might be interesting and it would be a multimedia snow man then :)
Alex and Catherine - THANKS very much!
Alex, I wish I had used stippling vs. some hatching when I began the snowman yrs. ago, to show the effect you mentioned even better. Hindsight.
Catherine - great idea! I'll look for a piece of yarn today.
Chgd. my mind on who to send this to...will instead give to my 100+ yr. old aunt who I'll visit tomorrow...save a stamp then! I have an art kit to give her if she regains from her current ill health - I had her paint some ptgs. (first for her) during prev. visits. Will tuck the card on the gift as a general Hello/Thinking of You card.

Fred that is a great painting!
A Question for anyone who can answer. Someone wants to buy the lastest watercolor of the 6 chicks. It's 9x12 and watercolor only, I'd say total I had at least 3 full hours in it. It probably would be unframed and unmatted. I've never sold a painting before. What sort of price should I put on it?
Fred - love the bear! The other char. are very creative.
Catherine, I thought you had a very good ? re. pricing, so I briefly looked it up. I found the article
and a similar article online by Maria Brophy (she has a very cool website if you just put her name with dot com after it), which even inc. some of the above author's words, but it states that Maria uses $1.50 per square inch, not the much higher amt. mentioned in the above. There are variables mentioned in the above link, such as oil ptg. being more, professional, etc., so the diff. are understandable.
I found a You Tube video (gosh, there is everything on that!), which I found the most helpful. If you search in YouTube for How To Price Your Artwork by Cedar Lee, you should find it. She uses $1 per square inch (2010), and hers are oil, and she has sold quite a bit. I thought her video was quite helpful and worth viewing all for her tips, such as not wanting to lower prices as you go along. I think region of country varies too. She may have mentioned how much you want to sell it. Sometimes I know I would only part with something if I did get a very good price, or else I would consider making a copy of it and selling the copy for less.
I don't have that much exper. at sales (sold a ton when I was young, but now I give away as gifts since I do so little, etc.), but I can tell you that many yrs. ago I priced a ptg. at a much reduced cost to my best friend. Later, I heard that couple bragging to others how they got such a great price for it. Um, I won't do that again! They were focused on price vs. the ptg. as a result of my trying to help their finances.
That all said, there are others who will prob. give even better advice, but this is a start. Your chicks were adorable, so I hope you don't part with them cheaply.

DOBSON - With football season right around the corner, the Falcons will tune up with six other squads Tuesday evening in Dobson.
Forbush will join Surry Central, North Surry, East Surry, Davie County and Davidson Day School at Mount Airy for 7-on-7 scrimmages. Each squad will play three scrimmages against the seven other schools, starting at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. at Wallace Shelton Stadium.
In the first matchup, the Falcons will take on host Mount Airy before battling North Surry. Forbush ends the night against 1A East Surry.
At 5:30, Davie County squares off with North Surry, while East Surry takes on Surry Central. Davidson Day battles West Forsyth to round out the first games.
The second set of games pit Mount Airy against the Golden Eagles, the Cardinals against West Forsyth and Davidson Day against Davie County.
Capping the night, the Granite Bears take on Davidson Day, while North Surry battles West Forsyth. Surry Central and Davie County round out the pairings.
Seven-on-seven scrimmages allow 'skill position' players - quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end - to shine. While normal football games feature 11 players on each side of the ball, these scrimmages eliminate the offensive and defensive line, except for a center.
Reach Matthew Gorry at 835-1513 or email@example.com.

1 pound
ground beef
1 pound
green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup
1/4 cup
SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1/4 cup
soy sauce
When my husband said, "This is really good, excellent" for the third time, I figured I better give it 5 stars. It is so easy to make and the taste is deliciously different. I used 1/4 cup organic dark brown sugar as I don't believe Splenda is all it's cracked up to be and I wanted an earthier flavor.
We did not care for this. WAY to sugary. will NOT make ever again.

This was very good! I tried it this evening. I used frozen whole green beans, a tad bit more soy sauce while cooking, and let it cook a little longer to ensure the green beans were done. I also used beef stips (stir fry beef) instead of ground beef. Served it on a bed of brown rice. It was really good! Two thumbs up!
My daughter loves green beans and she loves beef. I was excited to make this, but she wouldn't even touch it again after the first bite. I thought it was terrible too.
This was a super quick and easy recipe, enjoyed by me, my husband, and our teenaged son!!
I chose to substitute Johnsonville Sweet Italian Sausage in place of the beef. Everything pulled together nicely, and resulted in an interesting taste combination. I'm sure I will be craving this in the future!
Easy way to spark up the ground beef. Super simple.
Needed something quick and healthy. This was perfect as I modified it and the kids loved it! Used 2lbs of beef, 2 cans of French style green beans and substituted dark brown sugar for Splenda. Kept the measurements for the soy sauce and brown sugar at 1/4 c each to tone down sweetness.
I didn't have enough soy sauce for this recipe so I cut the amount of brown sugar I used. We had it with brown rice and it was very yummy. Can't wait to try it again with the right amount of soy sauce. Oh and I used all organic everything! Cheers to your health! :)

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Incoming freshman James vanRiemsdyk (Middletown, N.J.) of the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers with the second overall pick in the first round of the 2007 National Hockey League draft held at Nationwide Arena on Friday night in Columbus, Ohio.
James vanRiemsdyk was selected with the second overall pick in the NHL draft on Friday night
"It's been a great experience here, I couldn't be happier. It made me think of all of the hard work and sweat that got me to this moment. I have a lot of work to do from now to make the jump to the NHL and I am really looking forward to it," said vanRiemsdyk.
"I couldn't be happier being a Flyer, it's close to home and a lot of buddies are going to be in the Philadelphia area, so it will be a nice fit for me I think. I am going to take it year by year and see what happens, but next year I am looking forward to going to New Hampshire."
vanRiemsdyk (6-foot 3, 200 pounds) has skated the last two seasons for the United States National Program under head coach Ron Rolston. He led the US Under-18 Team in scoring this season with 63 points (33g, 30a) in 42 games. vanRiemsdyk was the second rated skater among North American players by the NHL's Central Scouting Service. He represented Team USA in the World Under-18 and the Under-20 Tournaments. vanRiemsdyk was a member of the gold medal winning team of the World Under-18 Championships in 05-06.
He became the highest Wildcat player ever chosen in the 44-year history of the NHL Entry Draft as the 81st draftee in the program's 80-year history. The previous highest Wildcat draftee was Norm Lacombe with the 10th pick in the 1983 draft by the Buffalo Sabres. vanRiemsdyk becomes the fifth player in team history drafted by the Flyers; Bruce Crowder (1977), Andy Brickley (1980), Steve Morrow (1987) and Bruce MacDonald (1987).
UNH now boasts six players on its current roster selected in the NHL draft; Joe Charlebois (Chicago), Brian Foster (Florida), Peter Leblanc (Chicago), Kevin Regan (Boston and Craig Switzer (Nashville).
The Wildcats officially kickoff the 2007-2008 season on Friday, Oct. 19 against the Boston University Terriers at Agganis Arena. UNH opens their home schedule on Friday, Oct. 13 in an exhibition game against New Brunswick at the Whittemore Center and their official home opener is Friday, Oct. 26 vs. the Colorado College Tigers of the WCHA.

The world of learning in adult settings is changing fast. It's not just about training and formal education anymore. It's about helping people pursue their learning goals individually and in teams. With skills you learn in the Instructional Design program option, you will create Web resources, multimedia demos, job aids, online modules - anything that helps adults learn and perform better on the job. These instructional-design skills are in high demand in corporate, healthcare, government, and higher-education settings.
And we practice what we preach - applying adult-learning principles throughout the program. You'll experience interactive learning, hands-on projects, and collaborative teamwork as you learn to manage successful projects, encourage innovations, and lead your organization toward productive change and growth. These are all highly marketable skills. And you'll create an online portfolio that showcases your accomplishments to employers and other professionals. The entire program takes about 2 years to complete.
Most courses are online; but, some required courses are offered on evenings and weekends. You can take classes at your own pace as they fit your scheduling needs.
Outstanding faculty will be dedicated to your academic and professional growth.
For additional information, contact Academic Services at firstname.lastname@example.com or 303-315-6300.
You need a bachelor's degree or equivalent to enroll in the ILT master's program. A Colorado teaching license is not required, but access to a school (where you teach or do volunteer work) is important for completion of projects.
The program requires completion of a plan of study consisting of 30 credits of required courses, including an internship. The internship may be done at your place of work with faculty approval. Most courses are online, but some required courses are offered on evenings and weekends. You can take classes at your own pace as they fit your scheduling needs.
As you complete courses you will add products to a professional portfolio. This portfolio is submitted to faculty your final semester and serves as the comprehensive exam for the master's degree. Links to recent portfolios can be found on the ILT resources page; reviewing this work can give you an idea of the kind of courses, projects, and careers our students engage in.
We use the Canvas course management system for all courses. Canvas is like Blackboard or Moodle, a place where you can submit assignments, download documents, and participate in discussions. You will have access to Canvas once you are registered and courses begin. We also use Adobe Connect, a webinar and synchronous communication tool, in some of our courses. Use of this tool is provided to students in this program. Faculty and students use email as a major form of communication both within and external to Canvas. Other software tools include MSWord, MSPowerPoint, and various Web 2.0, open source and freeware tools. You would typically select specific authoring tools for various projects and assignments based on the needs of the project.
You need home access to a computer (Windows or Mac) with a high-speed Internet connection.
Successful completion of the MA degree requires a minimum of 30 graduate semester hours. Visit our course plans for more information.
Our program partners with the Front Range Chapter of the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI), offering a number of services and benefits to Denver area professionals.

August 2, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal appeals court has delivered a serious setback to President Barack Obama's health care law, potentially derailing subsidies for many low- and middle-income people who have bought policies.
If upheld, the decision could mean premium increases for more than half of the 8 million Americans who purchased taxpayer-subsidized insurance under the law.
It affects consumers who purchased their coverage through the federal insurance marketplace - or exchange- that serves 36 states.
A three-judge panel in Washington ruled 2-1 that the law, as written, only allows insurance subsidies in states that have set up their own exchanges. That invalidated an Internal Revenue Service regulation that allowed subsidies in all 50 states.

BMI – Body Mass Index Calculator
Certainly we know that being overweight can pose a risk for a host of health problems; including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.
Calculating your BMI (Body Mass Index) can be a useful tool in assessing your overall health. Your ratio of body fat is a good reference to use for indicating your risk factors for obesity-related health concerns.
In addition to the BMI Calculator – you may want to keep an eye on your waist circumference. Research has proven that a waist circumference of 35 or greater (for women) and 40 or greater (for men) poses additional risks – like: heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
A BMI of 30 or higher tends to raise a flag for impending health issues. While a BMI of 27 – 30 is considered to be in the range of moderate risk. Ideally, a BMI of 19 – 26 is considered to be a healthy guideline.
There are several ways to calculate BMI. One such way is to use a BMI Calculator that takes into account the height to weight ratio. If you feel that your BMI is of concern – it warrants a more in-depth discussion with your physician or other health care provider.
With the plethora of information being provided by the government's guidelines, research hospitals, and other health authorities around the world – we are living in a time that grants us the opportunity to take our health and well-being into our own hands and make intelligent dietary and life choices that research has proven to be of utmost importance.
It appears more often that our daily food choices can not only impact our waistline – but our defenses against a host of acquired diseases. By simply adding more fruits, vegetables, and other healthy choices like wild salmon – we can easily increase our odds at fighting cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other age-related and obesity-related diseases.
We have at our disposal the tools necessary to jointly work with our health care professionals in ensuring that our well-being, overall good health, and longevity are on course. The newest tool to use is a BMI Calculator
So – eat those healthy fruits and vegetables and use the tools we have available to keep your health on track.
Reader's Digest provides a simple and easy to use BMI Calculator: Click Here to Calculate your BMI

Yes, I can talk about him only because he is dead now. ha ha. He was a real SOB if you ask me, but a fascinating character nevertheless. My uncle (the drummer) wrote a book about him but I haven't read it. He died before it got published, but he finished it. Too bad...

SLIDESHOW: Dartford fight back after Cambridge United's Ryan Bird really takes off
Posted: January 27, 2014|
Dartford 3 Cambridge United 3 - Skrill Premier
Somehow or other the printers of Dartford's match-day programme had got Cambridge United's No 21 down as being Scott Rendell.
And, while that particular striker has long since departed the R Costings Abbey Stadium, the hosts managed to steal the thunder of a striker who is very much with the U's in the form of Ryan Bird.
The forward was thrust into Skrill Premier action at Princes Park having only arrived at United on loan from Portsmouth 24 hours earlier, and he was having a dream debut with 16 minutes gone.
But, following his two early goals, he saw his side pegged back to 2-2, was forced off only seven minutes into the second half, watched the Darts turn the game on its head by taking the lead and Ashley Chambers miss a penalty and - take a deep breath - substitute Luke Berry head a 79th-minute equaliser to ensure a dramatic contest ended 3-3.
"We brought him (Bird) in Friday morning, played him in a small-sided game and he scored goals," said United head coach Richard Money. "We just thought it was worth a punt, really, and I think he will score goals, there's no doubt about that.
"It's just disappointing that, on a day when he's got himself off to a good start, we couldn't defend like we normally do.
"I don't think you can deny them a point from the amount of effort they've put into the game.
"We've come off the pitch with something. Having started the way we did, are you disappointed? Well, maybe. But to pull back from 3-2, are you disappointed? Obviously not.
"In the end I don't think you can deny either team a point, really, especially given the conditions in the last 20 minutes."
Those conditions included pouring rain, lightning, hail and strong winds, with the four minutes of stoppage time being farcical as the players were battered by the elements and supporters in the uncovered front row of seats in the main stand running for shelter, begging the referee to blow his whistle for full time as they did so.
There was still an opportunity for the U's to win it at the death, but Dartford goalkeeper Alan Julian, who had got down well to his right-hand side to keep out Chambers' penalty, flung himself at full stretch to prevent Josh Gillies' free kick nestling in the bottom corner.
The outcome of the game may well have been different had Chambers not become the fifth man to miss a spot-kick for the U's this term, adding his name to a list including Adam Cunnington, Kwesi Appiah, Greg Taylor and Ryan Donaldson, who would have had the responsibility on this occasion had he not been substituted five minutes earlier.
"Clearly we have to find someone who is a penalty taker because (we've missed five) with five different penalty takers as well," said Money.
"Ryan was the designated penalty taker but he was off the pitch. In fairness, Ash has been very positive - 'I'll take it' - and the keeper's made a good save, but clearly we need to find someone who can score penalties."
While Bird was busy making a name for himself for the U's, another loan striker was causing a real stir for the hosts.
Alex Wall was making his home debut following his temporary move from Skrill Premier leaders Luton, and he was a constant threat with his willingness to run at the back four and ability from dead-ball situations.
But after Bird's quick-fire double, which included a sumptuous finish with the outside of his right boot from the edge of the box, it was captain Elliot Bradbrook, who was able to convert a penalty following a foul by Donaldson on Alex Woodyard, and Max Cornhill who brought the Darts level before half time.
Danny Harris' speculative effort flew over the returning John Sullivan to put the Kent team ahead in the 69th minute and, after Chambers' penalty miss, Berry got his head to Gillies' inswinging delivery for a pulsating game's sixth and final goal.
The draw meant the U's took five points from three away games in the space of a week, with Halifax also holding them and Tamworth being beaten.
"I think five points from the three games is not a bad return," said Money.
"We'd have liked more, obviously, but when you're travelling all over the place it's not just time on the pitch - it's time on the bus and all of that, so it's been a pretty big effort.
"I think what we have shown here is that we're going to be positive, but in trying to be positive we've got to make sure we don't concede too much in terms of our organisation and discipline."

I have over 3500 followers on Twitter and it's growing every day. I'm often asked how I manage to do it and the answer is very simple: I give my followers what they want and I interact with them.
The #1 mistake people on Twitter make is that they use it purely for their own gain. All they want to do is market their own services. They don't interact with people and they don't help people out unless there's something in it for them.
When I follow someone on Twitter, I'll often get an automatically generated message saying something like "Hey, thanks for the follow. Check out my widgets website at http://www.somemediocrewebsite.com". Frankly, the last thing I'm going to do is check out your website. If you're too lazy to speak with me directly and tell me about yourself then I'm not going to go to your site and 'check it out'.
Thankfully, there are many people on Twitter who totally 'get' what it's about. If someone asks a question then they'll take the time to answer it and share their knowledge. I get asked many SEO questions and I'll answer them and share the answers with my followers. I know that they find it useful and I know that they get great results from my advice. It makes me feel good and it helps them.
And by taking this approach, not only have I met some great people but I have also sold my search engine optimisation services to some of them. And not once have I tweeted a direct sales pitch. That is the power of Twitter if you use it correctly.
And just to show that there are many less obvious benefits, I'm going to give some really juicy links from this well optimised website to some of my followers – those followers that totally understand that Twitter is about interacting with people and sharing useful information with them.
I tweeted the following message
"Hi everyone. How many of you have a blog? What's the URL? I'd be interested to take a look. If you don't have a blog – Why not?"
and within less than 10 minutes I had around 35 replies from people sharing their blog URL with me. They didn't know why I wanted it and they certainly didn't know that I was going to link to them. But they were following their Twitter stream and saw an oppotunity to share something with someone and they took it.
So, here are the blogs of a bunch of people on Twitter who 'get it' and who are worth following and learning from!

I share many of your ideas with my marketing and development teams. Thank you for your efforts and understanding the web is about authenticity and collaboration.
Thanks for the link Always great to tweet with you!
Thanks for linking us all, I'm enjoying watching this community grow. And hey, remember me when you need a writer
Interesting post Gregor- thanks!
What refreshing words, just a pleasure to read & share :o)
It's all about being social and realizing it's a 2 way street. Listening to others and talking when you have something good to share. That's why "Spamming" on twitter doesn't work even though people complain.
Thanks for making it plain and simple for people to get how to be on Twitter! Here's hoping many new users to Twitter will find and embody your approach.
I totally agree with the sharing and not Direct selling aspect, but some buisiness lend themselfs to that more than others. You offer a SERVICE. Those of use that offer PRODUCTs may find it to be a little tougher. Not saying it can't be done but for me it takes more thought. Although I use twitter as a social outlet as much or more than I use it for business marketing.
Thanks for this great info on Twitter. I will certainly learn from your words of wisdom here
Thanks again for the post!
[…] this blog post emphasizes how the correct attitude will help build followers. For me, twitter is not about […]
Nice post of using Twitter. I'm new to it and soaking up as much information as I can. I came to you by way of Jim Connelly and a tweet he posted. Glad I did. I've just downloaded your e-books. Thanks so much!
Thank you for the mention – I've found some more great people to follow too
Thanks for sharing this great advice with us! It's exciting to be getting in on something while it is new and in the growth phase.
nice quick post on use of Twitter! A blogger myself. Thanks for being a good example!
Please add me to the growing list!
It also probably helps that you follow over 4000 people.
Hi! I left a comment already, but here's my blog http://kfredsmusings.blogspot.com/ Thanks!
Great idea. I run a number of blogs, most popular 2 being http://www.coolest-gadgets.com and http://www.selfmademinds.com and twitter at http://twitter.com/AlCarlton
Useful post, I think that trick with message is really working.
I wish you more followers.
Nice post of using Twitter.
Yeah! Never expected to get a link back! thanks for that!
Its a nice article, I too hate those people with auto replies marketing their website/service upfront in their first tweet itself
Thanks for the tips! I'm starting up my blog at http://www.baylansbiznews.wordpress.com .
Great post Gregor. Very interesting. A big thanks for linking to me also.
Wow, Awesome thanks for the link love – You make a very good point on your post. I am fairly new on Twitter and still learning – You helped me realize that my use of Twitter is a good thing.
Thanks again
Thanks for sharing this great post..it's Very interesting..

Thank you so much for including me on the list – was wondering if you could change the site address for @bluewavemedia to http://www.bluewavemedia.ca/wordpress to http://www.bluewavemedia.ca as the site is now at the root.
Thanks so much and I wish you a great 2009!

good for short ride
These are good for shorter rides (2-3 hours) the seams aren't flat so the tend to rub after a while and they also run right down the back of the knee (at least for me). I do like the KISS3 chamois.
Good if you're looking for a inexpensive knicker for shorter rides.

Networking & Wireless | News
Booneville School District in
Mississippi has implemented Chromebooks and iPad Minis for all 1,300 K-12
students and 90 teachers, along with new wireless infrastructure to support the
The small, rural district is part of a $1.2 million state-funded pilot
project to implement innovative education technology in Mississippi schools. The
goal of the project is to help schools in the state bridge the digital divide
and help students develop the skills they will need in the workplace.
To support the large influx of mobile devices, the district implemented a
hosted Wi-Fi solution from C Spire. The new
network includes 116 wireless access points to provide coverage across all three
of the district's schools. The network has enough density to support
simultaneous connections for every student and teacher in every classroom,
according to C Spire.
Students use their Chromebooks and iPads to access "Web-based resources and
digital learning tools like digital textbooks, library e-databases, reverse
learning podcasts, electronic submission of assignments, real-time lectures and
mobile applications," according to a news release. Students in grades 3 through 12 are allowed to take their
devices home with them for study, homework and research, and the district
provided each child with a backpack to protect the devices. Younger students
leave their devices at school at the end of the day.
According to district superintendent, Todd English, students and teachers
have both welcomed the new technology. "When students are excited and motivated
about learning and expanding their knowledge base, teachers are excited," he
said in a prepared statement. "It's been particularly gratifying to see the
response from some of our younger students."
English said the district is serving as a model for other schools and that
the technology initiative will help other districts follow in Booneville's
footsteps. "We're excited about our district serving as a laboratory for
innovation and best practices for other schools and we're more than willing to
share our experiences to help others gain the same advantage," he said in a
prepared statement.

Latin Music
Cuba and music are synonymous. Cuban music, is famous all
around the
word. In the '40s and '50's it was the world famous Cha-Cha-Cha,
which even now, despite its age, still is one of the main dances
used in judging international championship Ballroom Dance competition.
And there has always been the Son and the Rhumba with its Afro-Cuban
beat. Now, in the last year of the millenium, it is Salsa that is
hot and taking the world by storm. In the meantime, all around we
hear of the Rhumba, the Mambo Kings, the #1 song in Europe: Mambo
No. 5 and Buena Vista Social Club.
Of course, Cuba is well known in the world for its cigars, its white-sand
beaches, its sugar, its boxers and its baseball. In fact, if many
have said that Cuba is baseball, all can safely say that Cuba is
music: The pulsating beat of its Rhumba, the romance of its Guajira,
the nostalgia of its Son, the magical sounds of the Mambo and the
energy and exuberance of its Salsa: That is Cuba. Source

This was a big hit in our family. Even my 21 month old daughter liked it. The sauce is a little tart, so you may want to add some sugar. Because my husband and I are on diets I did not. I ate the left overs cold with some left over chicken mixed in and that was good too.
As is, just so-so. But a few slight additions make it outstanding. Swap unspecified vegetable oil for sesame -- much tastier -- and add some sprinkles of green onion or minced garlic and it's lovely.

This was easy. I sauteedthe vegetables using cooking spray. It was ok but I won't make it again.
I love reading the reviews to recipes. It certainly highlights the diversity of individual tastes. For those who found this recipe bland, there's no reason you can't add spicy items. Afterall, recipes are not written in stone.
Overall, very tasty and a great base to adjust to suite your tastes. I used angel hair pasta and sauteed my veggies with a little garlic. I also used low sodium soy sauce and opted for sesame oil vs. veg. oil. I also added a little sugar to the "dressing" and tossed to coat. I topped it with chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds.
Was very easy but also very bland and tasteless. I love flavorful Asian food and there was nothing here to suggest that it was close to Asian for me. Good for people who don't like spicy (or Asian) food.
I thought the sauce for this was not tasty at all. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
Made as stated and added garlic and green onions. I thing it went over well, just needed a little more soy since it had a stronger vinegar overtone than I'd like. After adding extra soy it was great.
