Theoretical Orientation
Strengths-oriented, empowerment approach, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, family systems, narrative, and psychodynamic perspectives. Active, collaborative, non-directive style. I view therapy as an experiential learning process in which students can test hypotheses about themselves, identify and let go of self-defeating behaviors, and practice new, more fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others. Trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitzation and Reprocessing), a treatment approach particularly useful for persons affected by trauma.
Professional Interests
Anxiety, depression, graduate student development, gender issues, sexual orientation, sexual assault and abuse, relationship and family of origin issues. Modalities include individual, couples, and group psychotherapy, as well as development and support of student-initiated peer education, peer counseling, and community-building activities.
Mental Health Philosophy
Self-acceptance is the foundation for self-change. By honoring the healthy intention (a longing for connection, competence, or self-preservation) underlying even our most negative and self-defeating behaviors, we can develop the self-compassion and confidence necessary for risking positive change.
In counseling sessions, I work to create a safe, respectful environment in which students can allow themselves to acknowledge, express, and examine all aspects of their inner conflicts and concerns. We work together to identify and clarify internal and external stumbling blocks and to develop the strengths and skills necessary for resolving problems, overcoming fears, and making desired changes.

Here is a collection of programs written in NXT-G that play a range of well known and some maybe not so well known tunes.
Sample music
NOTE: All files are zipped *.rbt files. See below for instructions.
- Bingo
- Buffalo Soldier
- Call On Me
- Hot Cross Buns
- Mary Had a Little Lamb
- Old McDonald
- Ring A Ring o Roses
- Rocky
- Row Row Row Your Boat
- Star Wars Theme
- Super Mario
- Super Mario Underground
You can simply unzip and then open any of these files directly in the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Software (NXT-G) to use it, but if you want to use it as "MyBlock", follow these steps…
- Save this file in the folder: "My Documents/LEGO Creations/MINDSTORMS Projects/Profiles/Default/Blocks/My Blocks"
- Open LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT software.
- The song should appear under the "My Blocks" list in your custom palette once you have saved it in the folder written above. To place the song in your program click and drag the icon from the "My Blocks" list into your program.
- You can double click on the song icon in your program and change the song speed by changing the "bpm" (beats per minute) value, and change the volume with the "volume" value.

Wilson County voters interested in serving as election officials for any of the elections in 2014 may now apply online at wilsoncountyvotes.com.
The new online application offers a convenient way for anyone interested in working as a poll official to apply with the Election Commission.
Each election the Election Commission appoints about 350 poll officials to staff the 31 Election Day polling sites and the four early voting locations. Many poll officials cannot work every election because of vacations, unforeseen events or other conflicts. There is always a need for trained poll officials who are prepared to serve.
Poll officials must be registered voters in Wilson County, able to read, write and communicate in English, have access to online training, able to lift 40 pounds, able to work a 14-hour day, available on Election Day and enjoy working with people.
"Being a poll worker is like being a paid volunteer," said Phillip Warren, administrator of elections. "The pay and the frequency of elections are not great enough or often enough to be a job anyone would take for the money. The greatest benefit to being a poll worker is the gratification derived from your active participation in the election process and public service."
"Poll officials receive training online as well as classroom and hands on," said Warren. "Wilson County's early voting and Election Day polling sites are staffed with well-trained, dedicated poll officials.
"Poll officials also have the opportunity to give back to the community by participating in the Adopt-A Precinct program. The Adopt-A-Precinct program was initiated in 2012 and was a tremendous success. We look forward to more partnerships this year with local groups to provide a public service while they raise funds for their projects."

Yalac - Comparisons, How the evaluation release compares to other compressors

In this thread the testers should post comparisons of the preset modes of Yalac (Working name for "Yet another lossless audio compressor") with other lossless compressors.
The results for specific variations of individual encoder options should go into the thread " Yalac Evaluation and optimization".
Please post the exact version number of the compressors. Compression ratio should be specified in percent of the uncompressed file size. Speed figures should be specified as multiple of real time (duration of the test files). A specification of your test system, especially the CPU, would be helpful.
Open end: Feel free to add more results later.
What happened
Bad timing of my introduction (April 1.) forced an early publication of an evaluation release of Yalac, to prove, that it really works. This are results of 8 forum members, who where so kind to test the experimental release for me.
Many thanks!
Yalac should finally achieve compression ratios on par with Monkey's Audio High. Decoding speed should be at least two times higher than Monkey and never be significantly lower than with FLAC (possibly Yalac will later be integrated into FLAC).
My next steps
The first results i have received from the testers show me some weaknesses of the encoder. That's a good thing, because that means, that there definitely is a chance to increase the compression efficiency! Same is true for the speed; especially the decoder is not fully optimized yet. But it will take some time, before i will come up with an optimized release.
Links to 24 bit files i have used
I think, they are hard to find.
44 KHz, 24 bit

48 KHz, 24 bit

V0.06 is done
Compression efficiency and presets:
- Preset FAST and NORMAL now are using Apply Window, which gives about 0.05 percent better compression (on my test corpus).
- Other slight improvements can give another 0.05 percent improvement to FAST and NORMAL on most files.
- Selection of Partition calculator resolution 128 gives another 0.05 percent improvement to FAST. It should now achieve the same compression as the (slow) FAST preset of V.04.
- Algorithmic and assembler optimizations of the channel decorrelation.
- Rework of my basic signal processing functions. Dangerous: I didn't touch them for years and i did know why!
- Because my compiler doesn't support proper code alignment, i had to do some strange things to help him out. I hope that there will be no trouble on operating systems with more strict security checks.
- Implementation of a memory manager to avoid cache trashing caused by too many simultaneous uses of the same cache line set.
- Rework of my File-IO. To my surprise this has been most important for the speedup of decoding. Possibly i will have to do some adaptions for specific operating systems.
- Changed floating point precision from double to single. Can sometimes reduce compression efficiency by 0.01 to 0.02 percent.
Probably other systems will benefit far less from my optimizations than my good old pentium 3. Maybe that the optimizations are compensating weaknesses of my CPU that are not present on modern CPUs. Nevertheless i want to provide some data as a baseline:
Speed up of encoding:
Preset FAST 55 %
Preset NORMAL 20 %
Preset HIGH 10 %
Speed up of decoding:
Preset FAST 25 %
Command line:
Command line version is done. Unfortunately the binary is nearly as large as the GUI-Version. Delphi seems to put most of the basic GUI libraries into the binary of a console application, if the code uses exception handling. The initialization of the program may take considerably longer than without the GUI libraries. The compression speed of small audio files may suffer from this overhead.
In addition to my latest specification there is a new command line switch:
-cx Evaluate test ©ase x.
If i will ask the testers to evaluate the effect of internal encoder parameter variations, they can switch between them via this option. For instance: Please try -c1 to -c5.
- Clean up of source code. Could give new errors...
- File format changed!
I hope to send the new version to the following testers within the next 24 hours:
Josef Pohm
Synthetic Soul
Only reason for this selection: I haven't heard from the other testers within the last 10 days and i don't want to fill their mail box with new versions they possibly currently don't need.
Any of them can sent me an email anytime, and i will sent the current version.
What should be tested:
Comparison with V0.05:
- The speed and compression performance of presets FAST, NORMAL and HIGH.
- The decoding speed.
Evaluation of internal encoder options:
I wrote a SSE-Implementation of the Levinson-Durbin-algorithm used for the calculation of the predictor coefficients. It is disabled by default.
You can activate it via command line option -c1 and check it with Preset HIGH. There is definitely no reason to check it with other presets!
On my system this option gives only 1 - 2 % more speed on HIGH. I would like to know, if other systems are getting more out of it, before i will try more SSE optimizations.
Plans for V 0.07:
- Improvement of the compression efficiency of the channel decorrelation.

My exams are now done, I'd be glad to test the encoder on my system.
Could synthetic soul provide batch files to test?

Horn-blowing in Houston
Houston Texans spectators apparently have an odd habit of not being in their seats at kickoff, preferring to trickle in as the game unfolds. To put an end to that, Texans' management introduced a new touch for Saturday night's exhibition against the Dallas Cowboys.
The horn.
At 30 and 15 minutes before kickoff, a 170-decibel horn was to sound at Reliant Stadium. The intent is to remind spectators to get into the ballpark.
It should get the patrons' attention. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration bans exposure to more than 115 decibels for more than 15 minutes. The 170-decibel burst was to be much shorter.

(PRWEB) May 28, 2014
State Theatre presents Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band and Robert Randolph & The Family Band on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 8 p.m. WDHA is the media sponsor for this event. Tickets range from $30-60.
Blues-infused rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Kenny Wayne Shepherd's songs include "Blue on Black," "Never Lookin' Back," "Cryin' Shame," and "Show Me The Way Back Home." KWS Band members include Noah Hunt (lead vocals), Chris Layton (drums), Tony Franklin (bass), and Riley Osbourn (B3 and keyboards).
Kenny Wayne Shepherd has sold millions of albums worldwide, received five Grammy® nominations, two Billboard Music Awards, two Orville H. Gibson Awards, the Blues Foundation's Keeping The Blues Alive Award, and two Blues Music Awards. He has had six No. 1 blues albums and a string of No. 1 mainstream rock singles. He is widely considered to be one of the best blues/rock guitarists alive, and in 2008, Fender released the guitar that Kenny designed—the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster. His latest record, Goin' Home, released on May 19, 2014.
Recorded in a mere 11 days, Goin' Home finds Shepherd revisiting a dozen of the vintage classics by B.B. King, Albert King, Freddie King, Muddy Waters, and more that first ignited his love of the blues and inspired him to play guitar. Lending a hand on the project are several talented friends who shared Shepherd's enthusiasm for this back-to-basics concept: fellow guitar icons Joe Walsh, Warren Haynes, Keb' Mo' and Robert Randolph, longtime friend Ringo Starr, Fabulous Thunderbird Kim Wilson, The Rebirth Brass Band, and one of Shepherd's musical mentors, Pastor Brady Blade Sr.
Named one of Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," Robert Randolph's music is a distinctive mix of rock, funk, and rhythm & blues. Randolph & The Family Band hit the ground running in early 2014 in support of their acclaimed new album, Lickety Split. President of Blue Note Records, Don Was, says that Randolph is an "American Original" who has "mastered what is, arguably, the most complex instrument in the world and developed a unique voice that is equal parts street-corner church and Bonnaroo."
Robert Randolph & The Family Band first gained national attention with the release of the album Live at the Wetlands in 2002. The band followed with three studio recordings over the next eight years—Unclassified, Colorblind, and We Walk This Road—which, together with tireless touring and unforgettable performances at such festivals as Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, won them an expanding and passionate fan base.
For tickets or more information, call the State Theatre ticket office at 732-246-SHOW (7469), or visit us online at http://www.StateTheatreNJ.org.

Kent Bottles: Health Care Reform: Maybe We Should All Take a Deep Breath
The Gartner Research Hype Cycle is on my mind today, one day after the House passed the Senate health care reform bill and a reconciliation bill to make some adjustments that now the Senate has to consider. However, as soon as President Obama signs the first bill, the law of the land will be the Senate version of health care reform. Even if the Senate does not pass the second reconciliation bill, health care reform has been achieved. As a health care reform junky, I am now trying to figure out why everyone is so worked up.

For the past 3 ½ years, I've had the opportunity to participate as a catalyst and convener in the DIAMOND initiative in Minnesota. Working through a large multi-stakeholder approach, a collaborative model for addressing the care of depression in primary care has been implemented in over 80 clinics. Associated with this is an evolving effort to identify and develop a payment methodology redesign that would support the sustainability of this effort.

Skull Candy: I Should Have Listened
72 Attachment(s)
I went ahead and purchased a pair Skull Candy Agent headphones against everyones advice. It was on a whim one day when I left my usual pair of riding headphones at home and decided I needed to have some music to listen to. I did my research, talked to people, and read the reviews beforehand so I should have known what I was getting myself into, but I liked the way they looked (don't laugh) and this was the perfect opportunity to purchase them. Sure enough, 2 months after making the purchase they break! Now the right headphone keeps cutting in and out. :mad: I'm going to try to get in touch with their warranty people tomorrow to see if they can help me out. But for now, anyone thinking about buying a pair of skull candy headphones, you have been warned!
you bought halfcans for $40, what the fuck were you expecting for headphones used in an extreme environment
72 Attachment(s)
They didn't break due to the extreme environment. The day it started malfunctioning I was using them indoors. It was probably shoddy manufacturing or cheap materials. Either way they still are crap.
That's why any headphones I ride with are cheapies. You'll eventually bust them up, rip the wires out, get them wet, whatever. $20 is my max for riding headphones.
Quoted for truth!
72 Attachment(s)
They're willing to do that because they're making a killing on them. Honestly, they're cheap ass headphones with catchy name, eye catching looks, and heavy marketing. Component wise and sound quality wise, they're cheap headphones. You're paying a premium for the marketing and aesthetics. They're basically the Burton of headphones.
Everyone knows about SKs already. Real test is their warranty. Let us know what happens after that.
And to be quite honest, their earbuds get the job done well enough for me. I don't listen music when I ride normally though. For home time, I'll take my Sony MDR-V600 over any SK. :D

Stark County Sheriff Timothy Swanson told commissioners Wednesday that the county jail still can only accept roughly 400 inmates due to lack of staff. He said the problem has been trying to find qualified candidates while retaining existing employees.
Stark County Sheriff Timothy Swanson intends to keep the county's promise to taxpayers and restore the county jail to its full capacity.
But it's taking longer than expected.
Swanson told commissioners Wednesday that the jail still can accept only about 400 inmates due to lack of staff. The jail has been at the 400-inmate-bed level since July and held 381 inmates Wednesday.
"I can't give you a time when we will be open to (500)," Swanson said.
The sheriff, who had hoped to fully reopen the jail to its 501-bed capacity by Dec. 31, said the office can't find enough qualified candidates. Since January 2012, the office has hired 32 employees, but seven veteran employees have retired and five of the new hires were fired during their probationary period for not meeting standards.
"I'm sorry it takes so long to find them, but I refuse to lower the standards," he said.
The sheriff's office now employs 209. Swanson's goal is 254 employees, the same staffing level the office had in 2007. But the sheriff acknowledged the jail may be able to reopen with fewer.
"Those are my ambitions and I'm hoping the next sheriff has the same ambitions," said Swanson, who has agreed to fill the role of sheriff temporarily. Sheriff-elect Michael A. McDonald notified commissioners Jan. 3 that he could not assume the office due to an undisclosed medical condition.
The cost to hire additional employees is expected to be nearly $2.4 million. Entry level exams for deputies, clerks and corrections officers are scheduled during the next month.
During the campaign for the sales tax, county officials pledged to reopen 200 inmate beds that were closed beginning in December 2010 due to budget cuts.
Swanson provided the jail staffing update as part of his 2013 budget presentation to commissioners. He has requested $18.7 million for this year's operations, nearly 20 percent more than what the office spent last year. Commissioners are meeting with county officials this week to consider their budget requests and later will make a determination on how to best allocate the money.
Included in the sheriff's 2013 budget request is a 3 percent raise for administrative staff and 1.5 percent raise for most other employees. The unions representing the corrections officers, maintenance employees, mechanics and dispatchers agreed to the 1.5 percent raise as part of their most recent contract. The three remaining unions that represent deputies and ranking officers continue negotiating their contracts.
The budget request also includes money to buy 10 new cruisers to replace some of the 14 cruisers that have more than 190,000 miles. Swanson said while his budget request addresses only the need for new vehicles, he recommends that a company specializing in building and facility maintenance evaluate the county safety center to determine structural needs. Swanson said he already knows the building needs repairs to its plumbing system, water lines and roof.

After the budget hearing with commissioners, Swanson said he has sent a letter to the Stark County Democratic Party's chairman indicating that Lt. Louis Darrow, who has assumed command of the sheriff's operations and patrol division after the retirement of Chief Deputy Rick Perez, is the candidate he believes should be the county's next sheriff.
The party's Central Committee has until Feb. 21 to appoint a successor. No meeting has been scheduled.
Sheriff staffing needs Stark County Sheriff Timothy Swanson said he needs to hire additional employees to meet his staffing goal of 254, which is the same level of staff he employed in 2007 and would allow him to full reopen the county jail.
Here's the breakdown of what positions still need to be filled:
Position Employees needed Starting hourly wage
Deputy 16 $18.66
Corrections Officer 11 $16.71
Clerk 8 $10.77
Sergeant 3 $23.81
Lieutenant 1 $28.57
Captain 4 $34.23
Total 43 $2,385,084

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., is one of the lawmakers pushing new legistlation in the wake of the GSA spending scandal. She said Wednesday that she will introduce a bill to rein in conference spending and require more detailed reporting by agencies. (Alex Wong / Getty Images)
Lawmakers are already pushing for a variety of new laws to check excessive government spending in response to the spending scandal that has rocked the General Services Administration.
Congressional hearings this week and an earlier report by the agency's inspector general, Brian Miller, revealed numerous cases of extravagant spending and mismanagement by senior GSA officials. The April 2 release of Miller's report on GSA's excessive spending at http://www.federaltimes.com/article/20120416/DEPARTMENTS07/204160306/1001">an $822,000 conference in Las Vegas in 2010 prompted the resignation of the agency's top official, Martha Johnson, and the firing of two of her top deputies: Public Buildings Commissioner Bob Peck and Johnson's senior counsel, Stephen Leeds. Another 10 senior managers and employees were place on administrative leave, and Miller has forwarded his findings to the Justice Department for possible criminal charges.
Among the new measures:
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said Wednesday she will introduce a bill to rein in conference spending and require more detailed reporting by agencies. The Accountability in Government Act would cap spending on any one conference at $200,000 unless approved by the head of an agency. The bill also would require annual reports on all conference spending and deny bonuses to any employee under investigation by an inspector general.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., plans to introduce legislation soon to cut federal conference spending by 20 percent from 2010 levels as well as require agencies to report four times a year on their conference activities and spending, according to his staff. The reports would include the costs of each conference, their locations and justifications for those locations. The senator will try to attach the measure to a pending postal reform bill, a Coburn staffer said.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, posted online Wednesday a bill that would bring more accountability to federal spending by making spending data more accurate, complete and transparent.
"There is no question that the infrastructure and reporting standards needed to 'follow-the-money' has been lacking," Issa said in a statement Wednesday. "The GSA travel and conference spending scandal is a perfect case study."
The bill, called the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act) is a revised version of a bill Issa introduced last year.
Meanwhile, the Defense Department is reviewing all its conferences over the last two years and will submit a report to Deputy Secretary Ashton Carter on May 11, said the Pentagon's Deputy Chief Management Officer Elizabeth McGrath at a Wednesday hearing. She added that the department is confident "that the proper controls are in place so things like this do not happen."

The Detroit Free Press reports ( http://on.freep.com/1bQRN3M) Cynthia Quarterman, the head of the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, wrote U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow recently to say "significant safety improvements" have been made.
The request from Stabenow and Carl Levin of Michigan along with Richard Durbin of Illinois came in December.
Enbridge Energy Partners LP last year boosted capacity of its Line 5 pipe roughly 10 percent. It runs from Superior, Wis., to Sarnia, Ontario, passing through Michigan's Upper Peninsula and crossing the Straits of Mackinac.
Another Enbridge pipeline ruptured in southern Michigan in 2010, spilling about 843,000 gallons of oil.

November 29, 2015
NEW YORK (September 3, 2014) More people were interested in watching a celebration of the medium's best on the Emmy Awards last week than anything new.
The Emmys were watched by 15.6 million people, six million more than "America's Got Talent," the second-ranked show, the Nielsen Company said Wednesday.
Emmy viewership was down from the 17.8 million who watched in 2013, but last week's number was better than any other Emmy telecast since 2005.
That took NBC by surprise because the network was expecting a ratings hit by telecasting the Emmys on a Monday in August instead of its traditional slot, Sunday night in September just before a new season starts.

More than 130 people gathered at the Capitol Complex in Carson City Saturday to draw attention to what they claim is poor range science and the Bureau of Land Management?s mismanagement of wild horses on the federal land under the agency?s jurisdiction.
More than 130 people from throughout Northwestern Nevada and other western states, lined the sidewalk of the Capitol Complex in Carson City last Saturday to draw attention to what they call a broken Bureau of Land Management wild-horse management system.
Among the activists were dozens of Lyon County residents dedicated to finding a way for wild animals, including wild horses, to live on the open range with grazing cattle.
Cattle owners pay the agency an annual fee to graze cattle on the federal land where wild horses and other wild animals roam. ...

You might recognize Erika Spring's signature blunt-cut bangs and sweet, dreamy voice from her work with Brooklyn pop trio Au Revoir Simone—but when the synth-heavy group decided to take a break a few years back, she knew she needed to keep her creative momentum going. The final product of her efforts? A self-titled, six-track EP, which dropped just last week.
Of the differences between her group's songs and her own (the latter of which were produced by Violens' Jorge Elbrecht), she told me, "I feel like all my older songs were 'relationship songs.' These ones are a little more personal, a little more about me. As i get older, I feel like I need more reminders that I'm on the right path, like little pep talks—and there's definitely an element of that in here."
So how did her solo songs, like the drum-laced "Hidden" and the soft, ethereal "6 More Weeks," come to be? "They start with melodies that come into my head while I'm walking around, riding my bike, trying to fall asleep at night—that happens a lot," says Erika. "I always have my iPhone recorder close by these days—it's much easier than writing out the notes. All the songs just start out as little lines of lyrics, some of which I go back and change later."
As for her EP's hazy, pastel-toned album art, it turns out there was a fashionable tie-in at play. "It's a close-up of a shirt!" Erika explained. "It's a top I got from this Swedish vintage shop called Malin Landaeus. The owner does these hand-dyed silk tops that are repurposed from vintage pieces. They're done in these really bright colors—not tie-dyed and not splatter-painted, but somewhere in between. They're just so beautiful and watercolor-y…and so one of them became the album cover."
Au Revoir Simone fans, by the way, needn't worry—the group's still going strong, and is currently recording a new album Erika hopes to release next January. "A lot of solo projects signify the end of a band," she explains, "but this wasn't like that at all. The girls have been so supportive of me."

"The best part about Game of Skate is getting the community together for a fun day of skateboarding".
– Stormy Pruett
Yep. That's what Game of Skate is all about. Twenty-one times we have amassed the local skate scene into the Ambush parking lot in an effort to bring everyone together for a friendly competition. Sure, this one was a little smaller than some of the other Games of Skate in the past. But, the vibe was one of the best. Those that came were there for the skateboarding, camaraderie, and, of course, to see who can dominate the flat ground. And, the one thing that was proven throughout the day is that everyone has been getting really, really good at skateboarding.

International art fair in Milwaukee?
Well, we do sit at the center of North America, the heart of the land, as they say, or so say some local artists, curators and gallery owners who are working to put on the city???s first alternative, international art fair.
From the looks of things, what these art savants have in mind is the kind of fair that typically might be a ???satellite??? to a larger, more established fair like New York???s Armory or Art Basel Miami. Such big fairs are costly to the galleries that partake, galleries that pay high prices for tiny booths which are trolled by collectors with money to burn. The satellite events, like Scope or DiVA in New York or Chicago???s now defunct Stray Show, though, are more about bringing art and ideas into contact with people (and crossing fingers for sales).
The fair, which has a working title of Milwaukee International is tentatively scheduled for October, may not be a done deal, but those who are apparently signed on so far are evidence of something new and promising in the making. Local participants include General Store (which closed its physical gallery some time ago), the relatively new Green Gallery, Hermetic (also no longer a physical gallery but a curatorial force, among other things), Jody Monroe and Hotcakes Gallery.
The lead organizers include John Riepenhoff (of Green Gallery), Kiki Anderson (of Jody Monroe), Nicholas Frank (of Hermetic) and Tyson Reeder (of General Store).
From outside the area, the following have apparently said they???d like to come: Gavin Brown???s Enterprise from New York, Angstrom Gallery from Dallas, Jack Hanley from San Francisco, Locust Projects from Miami, Western Exhibitions from Chicago, Galeria Comercial from Puerto Rico and Polvo from Chicago.
It???s hoped, too, that Milwaukee International will feature spaces occupied by participants from Canada, Mexico, China and Japan.
It will be a rare opportunity for Milwaukeeans to experience art in ways they generally don???t here, if this fair comes off as well as it could.
P.S. Speaking of Hotcakes, check out some of the art from the "Exchange" exhibit, which opened over the weekend.

Palo Alto High taco truck's new on-campus location questionedPosted by Cyrus Farivar on December 14, 2009
It's not just Santa Monica, Boyle Heights and Lodi that are getting hit with taco truck regulations.
According to the Palo Alto High School student newspaper the Campanile, a Wyss catering truck selling "tacos, burritos and burgers" has begun serving students in the on-campus Churchill parking lot during lunch hours.
However, the paper reports: "According to Vice Principal Jerry Berkson, it is illegal for the taco truck to park on school property."
However, Berkson admitted that if the truck were to park across the street, that the truck would be ok, provided that all of its permits were in order.
"I was on my way to my route through Stanford and some [Paly] students called me over so I decided to stop," Jose Dominguez, the server told the paper.. "There were a lot of students so we plan on stopping here every day, Monday through Friday during the lunch hour."

Thanksgiving brings memories of the smell of turkey roasting in the oven and the family gathering together. The day is followed by delicious leftover turkey.
Here are some tips to help you preserve pleasant memories and keep your holiday safe.
The main concern with the Thanksgiving feast is illness that can happen if the bird is not handled properly before, during and after roasting. The elderly, young and immune compromised are most likely to become ill if any of the steps from freezer to oven and back to the refrigerator are not followed properly.
Starting with the purchase, keep the bird frozen until ready to thaw in the refrigerator (thaw 24 hours for each 5 pounds of bird). A thawed turkey can be refrigerated for one to two days. If you purchase a fresh turkey, buy it one to two days before serving and keep refrigerated until cooked.
It is not recommended that stuffing be cooked inside the turkey. While the turkey itself may reach a temperature adequate to kill any germs that can cause illness, the stuffing inside the turkey is often at a lower temperature and can harbor turkey juices that have not reached a safe cooking temperature.
A whole turkey and turkey parts are safe when cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Check the temperature on the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. If you do stuff your turkey, the internal temperature of the stuffing in the bird must reach 165 F. Sometimes the meat close to the bone is pink, which is safe if the meat was heated to 165 F and juices are clear. Young turkeys have porous bones, which may allow hemoglobin to leach into the meat, causing the pinkish color.
Once the turkey is cooked, it should be out for no more than two hours. Remove stuffing from the cavity, cut the turkey off the bone and refrigerate or freeze leftovers for later use. Bacteria that cause illness do not cause food to spoil. Foods can look and smell perfectly fine, yet if the food was out of the proper temperature range for too long, bacteria can grow and can make people sick.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Manny Ramirez hit his first home run since his return from a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug policy.
It was Ramirez's seventh of the season and 534th of his career, tying Jimmie Foxx for 16th on the all-time list. Up next is Mickey Mantle with 536.
The slugger gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 lead Saturdaywhen he drove a 1-2 changeup from San Diego's Josh Geer an estimated 369 feet into the seats in left field at Petco Park with two outs in the first inning.
Ramirez returned Friday night after sitting out 50 games. He went 0-for-3 with a walk before leaving the game after the sixth inning.

A lot of people are in search for local yet good USAA auto insurance, local motorcycle insurance rates or those from other insurance providers such as Allstate insurance, Mercury Insurance, Geico Insurance, Progressive Insurance, AAA insurance and others. In order to find the right local insurance quotes, there are certain ways in order to find the ideal one. There are even other kinds of insurance options such as car insurance for teenagers, farmers insurance, truck insurance and travelers insurance.
Initially, you should get in touch with several insurance providers such as Esurance insurance, Liberty Mutual insurance, State Farm insurance, Aig insurance, 21st Century insurance or American family insurance within your locality. The second method is to check online since you can easily get all the local insurance quotes that you need with just a few mouse clicks. Of course, finding local insurance quotes online is the better way to find affordable insurance either for your car or motorcycle. If you are going to visit the insurance providers in your area, make sure that you will talk with the insurance agents. The only drawback by checking insurance quotes online is that they do not provide all the benefits included in their offers.
If you are after affordable local insurance quotes in a quick manner, you should check online. You might find a number of companies, agencies and even websites that offer their services nationwide. The first step is to enter your zip code so that the insurance agency can see where you reside. In doing so, the insurance provider can determine the accident rates and the theft rates in your area. Take note that there are some websites that can provide you with quotes in a fast manner while others simply direct you to a page where you are required to enter more information.
Once you are directed to another form where you will enter additional details, make sure that you are honest in filling out the required details so that you will receive an accurate cost of the insurance. It can include the accidents you are involved in, years of driving, experience, age, gender and many more. Always remember not to include any social information or credit card numbers since you never know if that particular website is authentic or just a scam. Take note that if you are looking for local USAA insurance quotes, you should not just settle with just one website. It is important to get a number of insurance quotes from several websites. In doing so, you will have a list of quotes that you can compare along with the coverage being offered. After checking the available quotes, it is time to choose the quotes that best suits your needs and preferences. Just make sure that you will provide the same and exact information for each website that you will use.
Of course, there are certain things that you can do in order to get lower car insurance or motorcycle insurance rates. Once you include the discounts that you will avail, you will be surprised to find out that the local insurance agencies can offer affordable quotes than what you expected. Getting the best and affordable insurance quotes is important, thus making an effort to find the best one is essential.

Grilled Steak with Gremolata and Warm Potato Salad
If you live somewhere where there are actually things growing out of the ground already, lucky you. Here in Calgary, there are still small glaciers on most streets and in yards, but this weekend the temperature finally crept up past zero. Way up past ten, even! Hello, barbecue. It's been awhile.
Last week I had lunch with a local rancher (one who supplies our Calgary Co-op stores with beef that's born and bred in Alberta), and was given a gorgeous T-bone steak to take home, which we used as an excuse to fire up the grill (which since October has been subbing as an outdoor freezer). When you get a taste of spring, even when there's still snow on the ground, you gotta jump on it.
Christoph the rancher says that when you have a steak like this, it doesn't need anything but salt. I tend to agree. But I had a jar of gremolata in the fridge – a gift from Earl's Tin Palace to celebrate their post-flood re-opening just last week – which being a mixture of garlic, lemon, parsley and olive oil, is the perfect accessory for a simply grilled steak. (I may not know how to dress myself, but I have an idea of how to accessorize food.) In fact, you can make a pretty fab potato salad by dousing warm potatoes with gremolata, then a big glob of mayo; the gremolata brightens it, adds that hit of acidity that's usually obtained with pickle brine, and decorates it with bits of green. Springy!
As for the steak, you don't need a recipe so much as basic instructions on how to cook one. Once you've selected your steak and have decided it's destined for dinner, pull it out of the fridge so that it can start cooking from room temperature. If it appears wet, pat it dry with a paper towel, and shower it generously with salt – I add freshly ground pepper, too. I like to cook ours in a cast iron skillet or on the barbecue – either way, get it smoking hot before you put the steak on, then leave it for 3-4 minutes – don't fiddle with it or move it or (gasp!) squish it – until it develops a nice bottom crust. Flip it over and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side, then set it on a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This will make an inch-thick steak medium-rare; you can adjust your cooking time accordingly.
For the potato salad, I cut russets – only because russets were what I had, but I don't mind them in a potato salad – into big chunks, covered them with water and brought them to a simmer. (This was faster than baking them, which would have been pretty divine too.) Once they were tender I drained them and tossed them, still steaming, with a generous pour of gremolata and a fairly enormous spoonful of mayo. Salt and pepper, if it needs it, and bingo – potato salad that I like even better served warm, especially alongside a steak.
To make your own gremolata, all you need is lemon, garlic, parsley and olive oil, and a means to mash it all together. The stuff is brilliant to have a jar of in the fridge, and once you get hooked on it, you'll find plenty of uses for it – anything from steak to fish, drizzled on fresh bread, you get the idea.
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
1-2 handfuls flat-leaf parsley, roughly or finely chopped
a glug or two of good olive oil
Stir, whiz (in the bowl of a food processor) or mash everything together with a mortar and pestle, adding enough olive oil to create a loose sauce; store in a jar in the fridge for up to a week. (The gremolata will improve in flavour after a day or two.)

Thanks Julie! I always appreciate the tips on how to do the simple things, like cook a steak. Sometimes it is the small things that help the most, isn't it.
jo on 10 Mar 2014 at 5:20 pm #
It looks great, but I have a problem with "a handful"! What does that MEAN? 8/
Any idea about weight? Thanks
molly on 10 Mar 2014 at 9:58 pm #
Ha! Again!! We have steak, what, twice?, thrice? each year? And the first time thus far was tonight, on the BBQ! (No gremolata, alas, but a heap of grilled onions + peppers, mushrooms + [wildly out of season] zukes, to pile into tacos. Yes, please).
I am telling you. Same wavelength. Weird.
Vivian on 10 Mar 2014 at 11:16 pm #
Hey Julie, I'm so with you on firing up the BBQ at the first possible opportunity! The deck is finally clear of snow up here and I just had to try your pork tenderloin marinated with Lapsang Souchong tea! WOW! Smoky-Exotic! Did you eventually try anything more than just S & P and oil on it after that? I had some Herb de Provence Oil to rub it with and then some maple syrup to finish but it really could have used something spectacular instead!!Wanna re-visit that theme again…I hope?!
Lana on 11 Mar 2014 at 6:50 am #
These pics made my mouth water. Our BBQ is buried but we have a little milder weather happening now too so you never know- it may appear at any moment! I am now planning a bbq meal when my sister comes to visit this weekend….
Stephanie on 12 Mar 2014 at 9:10 pm #
I swear I've been craving a big steak for over two weeks now. Love the way the bright green looks again the meat.. droooool
Jodie on 13 Mar 2014 at 12:24 pm #
Wow, just looking at these pics made my mouth water! Will definitely try it, it looks proper amazing!

Jo! Sorry for the slow answer – how about half a cup? Is that better?

Howdy! This post could not be written much better!
Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He constantly kept preaching about this. I will send this
article to him. Pretty sure he's going to have a very good read.
Thank you for sharing!

I pay a quick visit every day a few web pages and information
sites to read articles, however this web site provides
quality based content.

Prior to submitting an application for licensure, A & D Counselors must have completed six thousand (6,000) clinically supervised counseling experience contact hours and two hundred seventy (270) hours of formal classroom training. Supervised hours can be obtained by working in an alcohol and drug treatment or rehab facility under the supervision of a licensed A & D counselor who holds a Certificate of Qualified Supervision (CQS) issued by the Tennessee Board of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors. The two hundred seventy (270) hours can be obtained by attending formal workshops furnished by employers, A & D training classes, or by attending a community college or any other Board approved school providing A & D related subjects that fulfill the requirement of the twelve (12) primary functions.
Failure to comply with continuing education requirements may result in disciplinary action against the licensee or registrant. The disciplinary action will be reported on the Department of Health license verification web site.
Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors are required to fulfill fifteen (15) contact hours of continuing education each calendar year (January 1 to December 31). Nine (9) hours must be face to face and six (6) hours may be multi-media with at least three (3) of the fifteen (15) hours relating to ethics.
Acceptable contact hours shall consist of master or doctoral level course work, or undergraduate credits, from a nationally or regionally accredited institution of higher education related to the practice of alcohol and drug abuse counseling professionals; attendance at educational events sponsored by national, state, regional, or local professional associations in the field; national or regional events related to the practice of the profession for which a nationally or regionally accredited institution of higher education grants continuing education units, Tennessee Department of Health sponsored training, and regional training or events approved by the Board.
According to the Tennessee Board of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors, Rule 1200-30-1-.12, acceptable continuing education is not:
Providers of continuing education programs may obtain approval through the Board. Applications can be obtained through the administrative office by calling the local number (615) 532-5127 or toll free 1-800-778-4123 or by writing to:
Board of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors
665 Mainstream Drive, 2nd Floor
Nashville, TN 37243
The A & D Board conducts a random audit for verification of continuing education compliance. BEING AUDITED DURING A PARTICULAR YEAR DOES NOT PREVENT YOU FROM BEING AUDITED THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
Proof of continuing education cannot be in the form of a personal summary. When requested, we always need a copy of the certificate you were awarded showing the topic, hours awarded, instructor's name and credentials, date, the name of the person that approved the continuing education, the time the continuing education started, and the time the continuing education ended.
Requests for waivers of continuing education should comply with the Rules and Regulations of the Tennessee Board of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (refer to Rule 1200-30-1-.12(7)). A request for waiver must be in writing and addressed to the Board's Administrative Office. As the rule states, the Board will consider only waiver requests based on conditions that were beyond the physical capabilities for that individual, e.g., disability, residence abroad, military service or other good cause. The Board requests that you have doctor's statements sent directly to the Board's office stating the conditions and that it is the opinion of the doctor(s) that you should be allowed a continuing education waiver based on those conditions.
Whenever you have a question regarding continuing education, refer to Rule 1200-30-1-.12, Continuing Education or call the Board's Administrative Office and speak to the administrator of the Board.

No, no, no, no, no! Seriously?! Ghosts, again?! Haven't the writers learned anything from their past mistakes? As if it weren't enought that this season has been disappointing on so many levels so far, and that we might be loosing the endlessly entertaining Klaus to the spin-off, now they have to bring back the ghosts... Yeah, the writers need to take a long creative break or something and come up with some new and remotely interesting stuff.
Yeah, this is barely a surprise... Maybe now Alaric will come back to Mystic Falls. There's all this talk going on that some dead will come back from the other side in TVD... maybe Alaric will return as well. I miss his bromance with Damon so much. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
No surprises here - after such strong season's premiere, it was expected.
