Circuit-Bending Hackerspace Rock Band, CMKT 4, is doing a workshop Wednesday, May 9th, 7-9:PM building contact microphones in conjunction with Quelab. These microphones are powerful enough to do whatever you want, and accessible enough for all skill levels. Plus, they're made out of bottle caps, which is just awesome. It's a DIY electronics project that leaves you ready to do other projects, too. Register at any hacknight or through Eventbrite.
Workshop attendees will learn how to solder/improve existing soldering skills, work with recycled materials, and develop a basic understanding of piezoelectricity. The process involves a 45 minute dry-time, during which CMK4 will entertain the workshop attendees with a live performance. Additional kits and microphones will be available for purchase, as well.
There will be a separate members-only event later in May. If you're interested, please contact us about details!
See them in action on YouTube.
Photos from the workshop can be seen here, And Wookie (Ready handed Media) took some video.)

The best thing from the class was a lot of attention paid to how careful/heat sensitive soldering the piezoelectric disk is, ive had trouble with them before. (wanted to make some sound/vibration powered LED's for our Sound of the electron event. but kept having failures. the ones that worked were from reclaimed disks which already had wires or solder pads on the crystal contact. )
All in all good class, great folks, pretty good teachers. My only real issue their theory was a little off on the piezoelectric disk mechanics. Nothing that made the end product any less awesome.

At ACHS, we strongly feel that meaningful learning only happens when there is honesty. Advancement of knowledge depends upon each student and instructor following the principles of academic honesty, respecting the integrity of each other's work, and acknowledging and safeguarding intellectual property. Academic honesty and integrity is key to honest communication, which is essential for learning. All students, instructors, and graduates of ACHS must abide by the Academic Honesty Policy. Failure to do so is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the College.
Most Institutes of Higher Learning follow similar policies for academic honesty. Fundamentally, we expect all ACHS students to be completely honest. Each student must complete his or her own assignments and examinations. Evaluation is based on the merit of their own coursework. ACHS students shall not engage in any activity as outlined in this Academic Honesty Policy including, but not limited to, plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, cheating, and other academic misconduct.
Some schools are now using advanced technology to help prevent and catch cheating, including using digital photographs, digital fingerprints, keystroke dynamics, remote proctor observation, web cams, personality quizzes, and browser lockdown.
Our online classes likewise have several mechanisms in place that discourage cheating. Rather than policing our learners, however, at ACHS we consider developing the values of honesty and integrity as one of our top priorities. Learning honesty and integrity is powerful and meaningful, with lifelong benefits. While working in the healthcare industry, our graduates will likely have access to private and privileged information, and showing honesty and integrity is crucial for professional success. We have therefore decided to proactively address the issue of academic honesty with more education, rather than more enforcement. This section of your Handbook is designed to educate our students about academic honesty and explain why it is an important keystone of quality education.
The person most hurt by cheating is the cheater. Higher education is intended to be a higher, upward and/or elevating learning experience, where a person is enlightened and leaves the institution with a new and healthier perspective. By cheating, a student robs him or herself of the heart of this experience. In other words, there can be no real or true academic enlightenment without honesty. Honesty is an integral part of learning just as tires are an integral part of a car, or just as the heart is an integral part of the human body. So it is with learning, meaningful education cannot exist with dishonesty. Moreover, we have a responsibility to the public to ensure that our graduates truly meet the rigorous and unique outcomes for each course. We take this obligation very seriously.
Accordingly, here at ACHS we offer many services for students who need additional help, including instructors and your Student Services team. One of the reasons we offer this scaffolding and support is so that students who need help can obtain it. This will hopefully reduce the temptation to cheat. We also design our courses to discourage cheating, using a range of assessments that are designed to engage and encourage adult learners.
Cheating can occur in several ways. To clarify, and to avoid breaching the Academic Honesty Policy:
Plagiarism may be described as, but not limited to, the following:
The act of appropriating the literary composition of another author, or excerpts, ideas, or passages therefrom, and passing the material off as one's own creation. When one plagiarizes, he/she represents work or ideas that are truly not their own. Plagiarism is theft of another person's writings or ideas. Generally, it occurs when someone steals expressions from another author's composition and makes them appear to be his own work by not giving proper citation. [1]
Plagiarism may be intentional (deliberately representing words, ideas, or data of another person as one's own without properly attributing through quotation, reference, or footnote) or inadvertent (inappropriate, but non-deliberate use of another's words, ideas, or data without proper attribution). A student is still held responsible if plagiarism is inadvertent, and will be dealt with accordingly. Education about what constitutes plagiarism, and how to avoid it, is freely available for all learners to access at any time during their education at ACHS.
Note, intentional plagiarism also includes submitting the same assessment (e.g., research paper, literature review, case study, practical, etc.) for two or more courses, even if the assessment (i.e., the original writing) is your own work. See the previous section above titled: Why Are We Concerned About Cheating, as well as the section below titled: What Is Original Work.
Students who are unsure whether they are properly attributing should consult with their instructor and refer to the resources in their online classroom to obtain guidance.
Finally, it is highly recommended to paraphrase and cite an author, rather than directly quoting his/her exact sentences. An essay that is nothing more than a string of quotations is not a good essay. Paraphrasing displays a high degree of intelligence, as well as the ability to use higher order thinking skills such as critical analysis and evaluation. When you paraphrase, you synthesize the original author's ideas and put those ideas in your own unique words, and then cite their work by referencing it at the end of each sentence you paraphrased. Additionally, when you paraphrase, you are really evaluating and make a judgment of the quality of the author's work, while adding your opinion and view about those ideas. You also analyze and find those things that are correct/incorrect, or find those things that you agree/disagree with from that author's work. Analyzing, evaluating and applying these author's words to support your unique ideas are all examples of using higher order cognitive skills. This is what is meant by the term "critical thinking" or "complex problem solving" in higher education. Critical thinking means using these higher order cognitive skills to find, analyze, apply and paraphrase high quality scientific research.
Students may not submit the same assessment for credit in two or more courses without prior approval from their current instructor(s). Submitting the same assessment for credit in two or more courses without prior approval is considered plagiarism. Therefore, students are expected to submit original work in all courses.
Original work is authored by the respective student, and is unique or new to the course for which it is being completed and submitted. Students may possibly re-work or revise an assessment/assignment that he or she has previously authored (i.e., use in part but not to exceed 30% of the originally authored work) only with prior approval of his or her current instructor(s). Additionally, both papers (assignments, assessments, etc) must be submitted to the instructor for comparison and quantifiable, scientific examination to determine the degree of similarity However, the College highly recommends students complete 100% original work (e.g., research and writing) for every course assignment, in order to have the most meaningful learning experience. This helps facilitate the greatest learning of the course material, as well as encourages transfer of these skills to the real-life environment.
It is easy to understand why "original work" may be confusing at times. After all, isn't all of your work original to you? This perspective, unfortunately, focuses on authorship of the work, and not on ethics and values (i.e., academic integrity, honesty) expected from all students. Grades should reflect receiving equitable credit for work submitted, not double credit (recycling, double dipping) the same work over and over. Therefore, multiple submissions of the same assessment are considered dishonest and unacceptable.
If you have any questions about what constitutes original work, plagiarism, or original authorship/work, consult with your instructor and/or the College Co-Educational Directors for further clarification.
One can plagiarize unpublished as well as published material. Examples include:
See examples at Princeton University: https://www.princeton.edu/pr/pub/integrity/pages/plagiarism/
At Brigham Young University-Idaho: http://www.byui.edu/Documents/catalog/2015-2016/Academic%20Honesty.pdf
And a further explanation at the University of Kentucky: http://www.chem.uky.edu/Courses/common/plagiarism.html
Fabrication or Falsification is a form of dishonesty, where one invents or distorts the origin or content of information used as authority. Examples include:
The New York Times reporter Jayson Blair was a widely publicized example of this type of dishonesty. Another example, mentioned by NPR (National Public Radio), includes Germany's minister of defense who lost his employment and political status as a result of plagiarism - see "A Wave Of Plagiarism Cases Strikes German Politics" at: http://www.npr.org/2012/11/24/165790164/a-wave-of-plagiarism-cases-strikes-german-politics
What is Cheating?
Cheating is a broad term, which includes, but is not limited to, a student attempting to give the appearance of a certain level of knowledge or skill, which has not actually been attained. Cheating also includes using inappropriate and unacknowledged materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to:
Other acts that would breach the Academic Honesty Policy include other intentionally committed, dishonest, or inappropriate acts. Examples include, but are not limited to:
Finally, it is important to remember that it is impossible to fully control and stop all forms of cheating. The best control, and the only real control, is self-control. Part of being a responsible, active, and engaged learner is self-control or self-discipline, and specifically disciplining yourself to be completely honest.
In 1948, a famous educator, Dr. Ernest M. Ligon, wrote the following timeless words:
"In my community is being built a huge laboratory for atomic research. It will cost in its building and operation many millions of dollars. The amount spent today on character research is only a drop in the bucket compared to this. Scientists tell us there is no defense against the atomic bomb. Such is not the case; there is—character! Only character research can make the atomic bomb obsolete and guarantee that this atomic research laboratory shall be for man's happiness not man's destruction (pg. 149)"
This excerpt was from his book about character education, titled: A Greater Generation. The full reference is here:
Ligon, E.M. (1948). A Greater Generation. The Macmillan Company, New York.
At ACHS, we likewise want to build men and women of character. Just as the only defense against the atomic bomb is character, the only defense against cheating is likewise character. Character refers to the attributes of self-disciple, self-control, honesty, hard work, integrity and ethics.
If an instructor at ACHS suspects that a student has breached the Academic Honesty Policy, he or she is responsible to investigate the situation and take appropriate action. If academic dishonesty is suspected, the instructor will first seek to discuss the incident with the student to determine if the act was intentional.
If the instructor believes the breach was unintentional, the first step is usually to contact the student and ask them to review the policy and resubmit his or her work.
If the instructor believes that the breach was intentional, he or she may give the student a failing grade for that assessment. Depending on the assessment, this may result in the student failing the course.
If the student does not comply with the instructor's requests to resubmit work, or if the act was particularly concerning, the instructor will refer the student to the Academic Dean. The Academic Dean will go over the Academic Honesty Policy with the student and discuss the best way to proceed. Usually the student will be asked to resubmit the work within a prescribed period. The issue may also be referred to the Academic Standards Committee, and the student may be put on Academic Probation. The breach of the policy will be noted in the student's file. Any student who has multiple breaches of the Academic Honesty Policy will be dismissed from the school.
For the purpose of tracking, suspected or proven violations of the Academic Honesty Policy should be reported to the Academic Dean including the student's name, description/sample of the incident, and action taken. If the occurrence is sufficiently blatant or if a pattern of dishonesty or misconduct is discovered, additional action may be taken on behalf of the College based upon the nature of the infraction.
If an affected student disagrees with the determination or action and is unable to resolve the matter to the mutual satisfaction of the student and the instructor, he/she may have it reviewed through the College's grievance process (detailed online here and in the ACHS Program Catalog).
Students can report dishonesty anonymously for investigation.

FBI wants DNA proof of third Minnesota Somali suicide bomber
Abdisalan Ali is thought to be the young man from Minneapolis who killed himself and at least 10 others in a Mogadishu suicide attack. But some who've listened to the recording which is supposedly Ali's last violent message to Muslims claim it's not him.
To clear up the confusion, the FBI is hoping to use DNA evidence to identify Ali as the bomber. If his identity is confirmed, Ali would become the third definite case of a Minnesota-grown Somali fleeing this country to kill himself and others on behalf of al-Shabaab, the Somali terrorist group ravaging that country.
While some close to Ali claim he isn't the man encouraging violent jihad in the online video, Abdirizak Bihi, a Minneapolis resident whose nephew has also left town to join al-Shabaab, told the Star Tribune that Ali's message of jihad in America is a new one for al-Shabaab.
"Asking [Muslim youth] to act where they are is a new thing," he said.
To be clear, the bomber's message had no specific Minnesota tie.
"My brothers and sisters," he said, "do Jihad in America, do Jihad in Canada, do Jihad in England, anywhere in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, in China, in Australia."
Who in fact said those words is still in some doubt, with some sources telling the Star Tribune that the voice on the recording must be Ali, and others saying they're sure it's not.
FBI division counsel Kyle Loven told the Star Tribune DNA results on the bomber's body are expected within a few weeks.
If Ali is determined to be the most recent suicide bomber, he'd join an infamous list of former Minnesota youth that includes Shirwah Ahmed, who killed himself and others in 2008, and Farah Beledi, who, like this weekend's attacker, carried out a bombing on an African Union base in Somalia in June. Beledi's identity was confirmed using DNA and fingerprints.
FBI special agent E.K. Wilson says there has never been a credible threat posed to the United States by al-Shabaab, but Bihi, who told the Star Tribune he'd listened to the most recent suicide message 30 times, said he heard something new in the recording. While previous al-Shabaab recruiting videos had advertised the life of a warrior and martyr in Somalia, the message thought to be from Abdisalan Ali is the first to promote homegrown terrorism on other countries.
"This guy," Bihi said, "was more about the youth here."

Heat set to crank up on Armagh boss Kieran McGeeney
Am I on my own in thinking that, in general, Armagh boss Kieran McGeeney gets a fairly rough old time of it?

Am I on my own in thinking that, in general, Armagh boss Kieran McGeeney gets a fairly rough old time of it?
The most alarming thing about Tyrone's Ulster Championship quarter-final win over Derry is the striking resemblance it bore to Donegal's victory over the same opposition at the same stage of the competition in Ballybofey in 2012.
Let me paint you a picture. It's mid-May. You are a young county footballer in the prime of your life. You might be a student, thinking of the four long months stretching out ahead before you have to report back for another semester.
One bright Saturday last August, Stevey McGeown trotted into Gosford Forest Park in Armagh. The end of the line for his successful bid to complete 100 marathons in 100 days, becoming the first man to do so in Ireland. Time for a modest celebration.
Something caught my eye a few days ago when I was scanning through the Ulster fixtures.
Last Sunday, a fellow journalist turned to me in the press box and asked about Tyrone full-back Ronan McNamee's boots.
This weekend, Armagh ladies have a glorious chance of qualifying for the National League semi-finals, a brilliant accomplishment for Ronan Clarke in his first year in charge.
Sometimes the story is more interesting when you consider the details that have been left out.
At the end of January, Tyrone ace Tiernan McCann was charged and sentenced by the court of public opinion after an incident in the very first play of the Dr McKenna Cup final.
Derry Under-21 manager Fergal McCusker believes they are going into tonight's Ulster Championship preliminary round clash against Antrim virtually blind, having been refused entry to the Shamrock Cup.
The story that former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher is considering paying the fine imposed upon Longford club Dromard, for hosting his soccer school on GAA premises, has highlighted one of those archaic rules that trips up the Association from time to time.
Managers have become the 'front of house' for their team, with their methods and reactions afforded ridiculous levels of study. When Harvard Professor Anita Elberse decided to do a case study on Sir Alex Ferguson for example, we would have loved to have heard his...
Excuse us while we perform the knee-jerk of all knee-jerks, but it's not too early to say that Down's season - in both league and Championship - is a write-off.
So, that's Rory O'Carroll away for a year. And Offaly's Brian Carroll has retired. And Martin Dunne is unwilling to commit to Cavan.
Word reaches us this week of one company whose team are commencing strength and conditioning training for the Ulster Inter-firms Gaelic football competition in the New Year.
You are fresh out of the minor set-up and this is your chance. The big leagues. The glamour. The kudos. The respect. The adulation.
With time almost up in the Ulster club final, Scotstown goalkeeper Rory Beggan stood over a free under the main stand in the Athletic Grounds. A successful kick would have surely brought the Seamus McFerran Cup back to north Monaghan.
Speaking on the Matt Cooper Show on Today FM on Monday night, former Donegal manager Jim McGuinness was pushed and prodded on a matter that had come to light over the course of that day.
Last weekend, I found myself at the home of the newly-crowned Down Junior champions, marvelling at the modest grounds of St Mary's, Glasdrumman.
We have had 6am gym sessions that obviously worked for us," said Scotstown manager Mattie McGleenan after they won the Monaghan Championship last Sunday.
It's time we talked about the lesser-spotted straight knockout football Championship. In grave danger of extinction, its Corncrake call can only be heard across three remaining Ulster counties - Antrim, Fermanagh and Tyrone.
When you read and listen to influential opinion-formers in the GAA over an extended period of years, you recognise their default position.
After climbing the Hogan Stand steps to accept the O'Duffy Cup, the All-Ireland camogie title, Cork captain Ashling Thompson thanked the Rebellettes backroom team, noting that there were "too many of ye to mention."
Did you read the Disputes Resolution Authority report on the Diarmuid Connolly case?
There are few greater work requests than getting asked to go to Rome for the weekend, with flights and hotel room booked.
On Sunday, I noticed something I hadn't seen before in Croke Park. Close to the very far wing of the press box in the upper Hogan Stand, there were a couple of Kerry supporters who cheered louder when Tyrone players were blown up for over-carrying or missing a...
When asked recently if his Tyrone side would be reminded of their proud tradition against Kerry in Croke Park, manager Mickey Harte opted to body swerve the question.
Over the past five seasons, Donegal have played 18 games in the Ulster Championship, losing only twice - both times against Monaghan in the final.
It was on March 29 that reporters gathered around Tyrone's Tiernan McCann (yes, the very same) in Ballybofey, and asked him to pick through the bones of a pitiful Allianz League performance that ended Donegal 1-13 Tyrone 0-6.
The idea of an 'own-goal' isn't a familiar concept in the GAA, but there can be no more fitting description for the actions of the Down county board last week.
Congratulations to Colm Parkinson for making life uncomfortable for Dublin manager Jim Gavin last week when questioning him over the debacle of Davy Byrne's facial injuries, sustained prior to throw-in of the recent challenge match between Armagh and Dublin.
Apart from making myself and everyone else in this game fabulously wealthy, the trade of sports writing provides you with ringside tickets to the big show.
It was a pity the Munster final had to end like that. Cork were so close to sticking it to Kerry and the know-alls only for one of those inspired moments of genius, when a corner back swings it over from 45 yards.
On Saturday evening, Fermanagh forward Sean Quigley took himself down to the ground of his club Roslea Shamrocks to watch them in a junior league match.
There is a route that takes me into Clones that on a good day can bring me right to the ground without any tailbacks or traffic.
There was a time when an inter-county player was the easiest man to spot in a nightclub after a big Championship win.
Before there was a GAA, the chief founder Michael Cusack sent a letter to two national newspapers noting that a meeting was to take place at Hayes' Commercial Hotel on November 1, 1884 for the 'Gaelic Athletic Association for the Preservation and Cultivation of National Pastimes'.
Page after page of last week's Gaelic Life newspaper revealed a common theme.
Drew Wylie's absence means Monaghan are able to squeeze in Colin Walshe, an All-Star in 2013
Events at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday night were pure hectic.
The trick when listening to managers and players is to identify when they are saying something for calculated effect.
We never had Kieran McGeeney down as a Shakespeare student, but there he was last Monday, talking about commentary of Gaelic games, asking: "Isn't it a game within a game?"
On the Croke Park pitch last Saturday, Fermanagh hurling manager Seamus McCusker stared up at his captain, John Paul McGarry, on the steps of the Hogan Stand, making his acceptance speech after winning the Lory Meagher Cup.
Fair play to Maggie Farrelly, the Cavan whistler who became the first female to referee a Championship match when she took control of the clash between Fermanagh and Antrim minors last Sunday.
A friend of mine believes that I am cursed with that most rogue of all afflictions - the GAA committee gene.
Chances are you don't remember much about 'The Manageress', 12 episodes spread over a two-series Channel Four programme that ran in 1989 and 1990.
The good ladies who serve the tea for referees and poor downtrodden journalists at McQuillan Park, Ballycastle, don't think much of Health and Safety jobsworths.
Having managed at county minor and county senior level, and having put decades of club management behind him, Down under-21 manager Frank Dawson admitted that his stewardship of the Mourne youngsters has been "a huge awakening experience".
Today at noon, men with accents from as far away as Cork, Galway, Waterford and Tipperary will file into St Michael's Church on the Andersonstown Road.
It was a proud weekend in the Bogue household. On Saturday, my Godson Ross made his confirmation. The extended family went out for a meal before I cut it short to dash to Omagh to report on the Derry-Tyrone game.

.- Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. announced Wednesday that it plans to create a new channel of exclusively Catholic programming in cooperation with the Archdiocese of New York, reports the Associated Press.
The channel, which will launch in the fall, will carry live daily Mass from St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York as well as talk and music programming. Programming on the new channel would be created especially for Sirius.
Sirius already carries religious programming, including Catholic-themed syndicated talk shows, the EWTN Global Catholic Radio Network, and FamilyNet, the broadcast arm of the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Napster Goes Political
NPR's Rick Karr reports that Napster, the controversial online music-sharing service, has upped its profile in D.C.: It's retained a prominent GOP lobbying firm, hired as its chief counsel a former staffer for GOP copyright stalwart Orrin Hatch, courted right-libertarian think tanks, and encouraged users to call their members of Congress. Can the electoral power of 70-million Napster-users be harnessed to trump the established lobbying clout of the (mostly-Democratic-leaning) recording industry?

text: Posted April 18, 2012 it is in the books, you just have to look more closely. Remember all of the fuss about Cercei wondering if King Joffery was marrying a virgin, because suppossedly, even though Margery was married to Renly, he had not broken her "maiden-head" So, just because he was waiting to have sex with her makes him outright gay? wut? I understand that's strange, that he wouldn't have sex with her, but dude, inferring that he's gay because he hadn't taken her maidenhead yet (which, honestly, we don't know if she even had a maidenhead. It's also stated later on that "noble girls lose their maidenhead to horses long before their marriage" just because they ride horses all the time). That's going a little too far.

Art direction, UX/UI design
While I was at the hallway, I was given a great opportunity to art direct all of digital elements as well as car photography for the launch of AFM (Australian Frontline Machinery) that sells ex-military vihicles.
It was such a great experience to do wireframing, UX/UI design of entire site, finding the right car photographer, and art directing on the photo shoot.
We were also lucky enough to work with a great photographer Easton Chang, he was awarded Advertising Photographer of the Year 2012.

Mommy's Cravin' Steak! Salad
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 20 mins
My DH made this salad rather frequently during my pregnancy as I was craving it! Many of our friends got really used to having this served for dinners during that time! ;) Toss with your favorite vinaigrette dressing and serve with a nice crusty baguette and a lovely red wine!!! (Post baby, of course) :)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 (8 ounce) steaks, filet mignon is my favorite
- 1 (5 ounce) bag spring greens (baby spring mix if available)
- 1 (5 ounce) bag Baby Spinach (or one to two 5.5oz bags Fresh Express brand 50/50 Mix is what we like, depending on amount needed)
- 1 quart grape tomatoes
- 1 quart broccosprouts, to taste
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1⁄2 onion (walla walla or vidalia)
- 1⁄2 cup broccoli floret
- 1⁄2 cup cauliflower floret
- 1 cucumber, sliced and peeled
- 1⁄2 cup zucchini, chopped (cut into desired size)
- 1⁄2 cup yellow squash, chopped (cut into desired size)
- 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning, to taste (optional)
- olive oil, to taste (optional)
- garlic powder, to taste (optional)
- rudy's barbecue sauce, to taste (optional)
- Coat the steaks in a blend of oil and seasonings such as Montreal steak seasoning and garlic powder.
- Grill to desired doneness.
- Apply a brushing of bbq sauce, if desired before allowing meat to "rest" for 5 minutes prior to slicing. ( Rudy's BBQ sauce is a nice one if you aren't sprucing one up or making your own).
- Depending on the number of servings desired, mix all prepared veggies in a LARGE bowl.
- Mix in sliced steak and blue cheese crumbles.
- At this point you can either dress the entire salad with a nice vinaigrette and toss lightly before serving, or allow each guest to select their own dressing. (a vinaigrette compliments the flavors best).
- Serve with a nice baguette, crescent roll, and your favorite red wine.
- ENJOY (hopefully outside somewhere nice!) :).

Loved this! Switched up the veggies a bit. Used arugula for the lettuce and added green beans, kalamata olives, and potatoes (of all things). Sounds odd, but it really worked with these flavors, and becomes a one dish meal. This is a definite favorite!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this! So COLORFUL and full of veggies! I made it as directed but used red and yellow bell pepper. I seasoned my meat with onion salt, creole seasoning and black pepper. We enjoyed it with vinigrette. This was great to eat on the South Beach diet, a full meal. Thanks for this KEEPER recipe!

Bagna cauda (BAHN-yah KOW-da)
What it means
There's nothing wrong with salty anchovies stretching lazily across salads and pizza pies. But the tiny fish is most impressive when put to work in a bagna cauda, or Piedmontese "hot bath," rounded out with garlic, olive oil and butter or cream; lemon, toasted hazelnuts and herbs are optional additions. Sometimes described as an Italian fondue, the aromatic dip is usually reserved for raw or cooked vegetables, such as endive, artichoke, cauliflower and cardoon. Its side dish status is a relatively recent development: According to The Splendid Table's Lynne Rossetto Kasper, who has written widely on Italian cooking, it was traditionally the centerpiece of a one-pot meal, with the dregs saved for frying up eggs.
Where we saw it
Indaco (Fritto misto with bagna cauda, $10)
Where else you can try it
When Sean Brock was in a molecular mood, he created a bagna cauda riff for The New York Times featuring milk powder and fermented black garlic. Bagna cauda isn't a recurring item at either McCrady's or Husk these days, but it's shown up at Lana, Lucca and The Macintosh.
Where to buy it
You're unlikely to find pre-made bagna cauda at your local grocery, but you could whip up a batch in less time than it would take you to stroll the store's aisles.
Every bagna cauda recipe is organized around the same principle: Heat the oil and butter, add the garlic and anchovies, and simmer until the anchovies melt. Serve warm.

Luz De Luna Brillante Group
The loan they will take out will benefit the small businesswomen in the group, of which Alicia is a member. She says that she has been a member of Pro Mujer for two cycles. She joined by invitation from a friend who is a member of the institution.
She currently has a business of selling sweets. She learned this from a friend who she helped with sales. Alicia later undertook her own business. The loan that she will now take out is to expand and improve the business (to buy sweets and flour). She will make her purchases at the fairs in the city of El Alto. She will later prepare and sell the sweets at her sales location. This way of working allows her to generate resources to support her family as much as she can. She is in a common-law marriage, and she has three children.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she replied that she likes the health and loan trainings and the savings.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Alicia es una integrante, ella indica que desde hace dos ciclos que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de una amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de venta de golosinas, mismo que aprendió de una amiga a quien ayudaba en la venta, posteriormente ella emprendió su propio negocio.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para ampliar y mejorar el negocio (compra de golosinas y harina) que comprará de las ferias de la Ciudad de El Alto y posteriormente a la preparación lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar en lo posible a su familia, pues ella vive en concubinato y tiene tres hijos.
Cuando se le consulta que le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta las capacitaciones en salud y crédito y los ahorros.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

In the heart of the Amazon jungle in Peru, locals harvest coconut tree grubs and sell them in the market skewered and charred over an open flame. These protein-rich grubs taste like crisp rolls of charred chicken skin if they are cooked properly. If not. they taste like pus bags filled with rotted digested wood.
Really, the worst tasting foods are the fermented, spoiled ones like Hákarl. Made from the Greenland shark, the meat is poisonous when fresh, so in order to eat it, Icelanders let it spoil in the ground for months and then out in the elements for a few more to dry. It's a revolting dish to many first timers; eating it without gagging is what separates the men from the boys. While the smell of the putrefied shark itself could make the faint-hearted ill, the taste is ultimately sweet, nutty and faintly fishy … if you like ammoniated wax.
Andrew Zimmern
Palolo are tiny, little worms that live in the coral reefs deep off the coast of Samoa in the trenches of the Pacific. They come out of the coral every few years when the atmospheric conditions are right and the locals scoop them off the surface and eat them plain, sautéed or as a spread on bread. It tastes like liver fermented in salt water, but that doesn't do the bright blue color very much justice.
Both adored and despised in South Korea, fermented skate, or hongeo, has the distinct odor of hospital-floor cleaner mixed with glue solvent. Mostly served "raw," the pungent fish is seeing a resurgence in popularity. Be prepared to smell like an outhouse after leaving a restaurant that serves the delicacy -- it's the price you pay, but it's worth it.
Found off the coast of Chile, these giant sea squirts called pyura are the size of basketballs. They're sliced open with a serrated sword to reveal the little throbbing corpuscles that live inside the spongy, rock-like carapace. They taste of pure iodine dipped in fish oil, but with a squirt of lemon they are transformed into deliciousness. Culinary alchemy at its finest.
People in Kazakhstan eat every conceivable part of the horse, from the fat cap under the mane to the rectum. They don't waste any part of the animal. One of the best things I tried at Almaty's Green Bazaar was kazy, a horse sausage made from whole pieces of rib meat seasoned with garlic and salt, torn from the bone and stuffed into natural casings from the horse's lowermost end, dried to cure and then smoked, resulting in a beautiful mix of meat and melt-in-your-mouth fat. Strange for some I guess, but delicious and very normal in Central Asia.
The waters off of Sitka, AK, are ripe with exotic sea creatures such as octopus, sea cucumbers and abalone. Sea cucumber, when cooked correctly, is extraordinary. All it needs is a few minutes in a wok with a little soy sauce seasoning. The squishy creatures taste like lettuce-y sea vegetables with a bit of crunch, but mostly yielding a buttery texture. The trick is splitting them open, scraping the innards out, and then using a spatula to peel the "meat" off the rock-hard exoskeleton.
We are pre-conditioned in this country to think of tarantulas as scary and poisonous, belonging on Halloween decorations not dinner plates. But they taste great, reminding me of sweet and delicate crabs when they're fresh. After digging them out of the ground, the tarantulas need to be defanged, washed and then scorched to remove the hair. In Cambodia, they're deep fried, then wok sautéed with sugar, salt, chilies and garlic. They are superb when they're treated like lobster or crab, taken from their lair to the dinner table as quickly as possible.
Try these bugs blindfolded and you'd never know you were eating a beetle that looks like a Dr. Seuss creature. Sautéed in a bit of salty water and butter, they are tender morsels that taste like shrimp. This is the kind of bizarre food that would stop you in your tracks if placed in your hand. And they only live in this one place in the world.
Ensete is 1 of 2 species of vinifera in a special part of the "false banana" family. It's also the name of the bread made with the pounded root ball of the same plant although it's properly called kocho. The bread is made with a fermented paste of the root ball that's buried underground for months to get its groove on. It's treasured in Ethiopia as a super food, but it's an acquired taste to say the least.

Alcatraz Island lies out in the bay a mile and a half off the San Francisco shoreline. For many years, that was enough to keep prisoners like Al Capone on the rock and tourists off it. More than an infamous lockup, Alcatraz was also the first U.S. fort on the West Coast and the site of a 19-month occupation by Native Americans to reclaim disused federal land. Now you can buy a Property of Alcatraz T-shirt and take a selfie in Machine Gun Kelley's cell.
Once upon a time, newcomers to America would huddle en masse under the gaze of the great green colossus on Liberty Island before entering the country. Times have changed, but the Statue of Liberty is still a go-to American symbol of freedom and inclusion. Employees of the National Park Service have been caring for the lofty lady of the harbor since 1933.
From 1892 to 1954, some 12 million immigrants set upon a path to citizenship that led them to Ellis Island in New York Harbor. The Great Hall remained largely vacant until 1990 when it was reopened to the public as the country's largest museum devoted to our history as an immigrant nation.
You don't have to win 270 Electoral College votes to get into the White House, you just have to ask your Congressman for a pass.

Like a giant staple holding the country together at the Mississippi River, the St. Louis Gateway Arch is the nation's tallest and most silvery monument and embodies Thomas Jefferson's vision of the westward expansion of the United States. Yes, you can go up in it.
The Bluegrass State is famous for its coal mines, but Mammoth Cave National Park takes subterranean pride to new depths. Located in the Green River Valley, Mammoth Cave is the world's largest known cave system, with more than 400 miles of explored chambers and labyrinths. To paraphrase an early guide, it is a grand and gloomy grotto.

Head 70 miles away from Key West by boat or seaplane and you'll come upon Dry Tortugas National Park, a 100-square-mile paradise composed of seven small islands and the majestic 19th-century Fort Jefferson. Yes, this tropical paradise belongs to you. Even more majestic are the eerie blue waters and jutting coral reefs that make for ideal snorkeling territory. Above water, you can enjoy the innumerable species of birds that inhabit the park, as well as the turtles for which it is named.

In the middle of Arkansas, the town of Hot Springs, well, sprang up around what is now Hot Springs National Park, an area known for thousands of years as the "Valley of the Vapors" for its medicinal steaming waters. Since 1921, it's been a national park nicknamed "The American Spa." Architecture buffs flock to Bathhouse Row to appreciate the collection of ornate, preserved bathhouses.
Admit it, you've always wanted to wear gumboots and race an airboat through the Florida Everglades National Park. Spend your days deep in sawgrass, clocking manatee, dolphin and alligators. Watch in awe as a giant heron struggles to take flight in a mangrove swamp. Or maybe you just want to hang out at the historic Nike Hercules missile base. Whatever you want to do, you can do it in the Everglades.
Terry J Alcorn
The Great Emancipator sits in contemplation some 19 feet above you. It's a sight every American should see in their lifetime. The Lincoln Memorial on the western end of the National Mall in Washington is, unsurprisingly, the most visited site in a space rich with monuments, museums and historical points of interest. It has also been the backdrop for historical events, most notably MLK's 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. For an added layer of historical context, visit the Memorial at night.
No one needs an excuse to visit the Virgin Islands, but if one did, one could do worse than the Virgin Islands National Park. Comprising roughly 60% of the island of St. John, plus another 5,650 acres of submerged territory, the park protects and preserves countless species of tropical and migratory birds, fish and other marine and plant life. Who needs a yacht when you've got leatherback turtles?
Here are a few photos of some of the animals I saw in South Africa. This teenage, male cheetah is on the lookout for some dinner. If you're lucky, you may even be able to see them hunt.

I took this photo while this hippopotamus was charging the boat. The hippo is the most dangerous animal in Africa.
A member of the pig family, warthogs are spotted all over the African savannas, including the Serengeti. They live in ground burrows, where they are always ready to burst out.
These famous animals can grow up to 20 feet tall and weigh over 1 ton. Male giraffes use their necks as weapons. You can see an old battle scar on this giraffe's neck.

This is a Southern Rock Agama, a colorful lizard you can find along the rocks off Cape Point. They eat insects, and can be found in many sizes, from 12.5 to 30 centimeters in length.
Yes, there are penguins living in South Africa. The hotter these guys get, the pinker their eyes get.
Always thought of as scavengers, hyenas actually kill most of their food. Hyenas are nocturnal animals, and they've have an eerie-sounding howl.
A type of large antelope, male Kudus will fight each other with their long, spiral horns. Kudu is a popular dish served at many South African restaurants.
It's the largest land-based animal in the world. Males can weigh over 10,000 pounds. African elephants will sometimes knock over trees to release aggression.

I found this monkey watching us eating a picnic lunch along the beach at Cape Vidal. You have to watch out for them, or they'll run away with your food.
This particular type of rhinoceros is very rare. There are only 2000 to 3000 left in the world. They are poached for their horns, commonly used in Chinese medicine and in Middle-Eastern art.
Males lions frequently fight with each other for hunting territory, which is how this guy lost an eye. When they're not hunting, lions will sleep over 20 hours a day.

totally agree with Nezsterbator. couldn't say it better!
I get so wet when he shouts, "I'm going to cum, I'm going to fucking cum!" when he is pounding hard into her. I love it. In fact, it's the only thing semi-unique thing I like about this video. As a woman I get hot hearing a man get off. He can shout, scream, cry out...it all sounds sexy if it comes from a manly man during the heat of passion. I hate just hearing the woman (or myself) especially if it sounds fake. I love hearing the manly grunts and moans DURING hot sex too. That's just my two cents.

Greek Chicken Tenders - Martha Monday
Today's Martha Monday was my turn to choose. This summer my daughter and I are trying more and more restaurants and new things we find at the farmers market. So this week I let my daughter choose what we make for Martha Monday. She came up with two recipes from Martha Stewarts website. One bowl chocolate cupcakes - but we already made the one bowl chocolate cake so here is the other choice she made.
Greek Chicken Cutlets
. We will still make the cupcakes later.
This was actually a perfect choice for a quick summer meal. Very easy and healthy too!
I used chicken tenders because they were on sale and cutlets were not. I think it was a good substitute because they cook pretty much just as quick as the cutlets do. I seasoned them with some marjoram, garlic, and a poultry seasoning that I like to use...instead of just salt and pepper. I made up a whole batch because it was buy one get one free sale. I saved the rest for lunches to make a wrap and use in a Caesar salad.
Tender and good from the first night it was served and even the next day for lunch.
Good right down to the last bites.
Here is Brette's result she now has a blog
Putting it All on the Table
Just a couple of 4th of July shot at Nokomis Beach at the North Jetties. We didn't take the boat out because of all the traffic...even on a Wednesday!
So after we had some fish tacos for lunch we went out to the beach just to see how busy it was. It wasn't so bad on the beach, like on a weekend day.
Walked down the small pier where all the fisherman fish.
Tried out my zoom lens to get the pelican across the channel
Every afternoon we'll see skies like this when the rain comes in. It always comes from the east and sometimes it never reaches the shore. But we often see the dark clouds come in, sometimes you can see the line of rain and the blue skies.
Plenty of boats on the water though! Have a great week. I will lwt you know where to find the other Martha Mondays participants!

Road Tour 2001 Buildup Part 1Written by on July 9, 2003 Contributors: Fatman Fabrications The Rod Odyssey Begins With An OK Used Chevrolet
While it may be difficult to believe today, at one time the raw materials for building a rod were not the least bit difficult to find. Immediately before and after WWII, '30s and '40s cars were plentiful, but they were viewed as little more than cheap transportation by most. Consequently, it wasn't unusual for the back row of most car lots to have a number of likely candidates for those looking for raw rodding material. Who knows how many premium examples were found in the back row of the local Chevy dealer's OK Used Cars lot. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
Another more contemporary method of finding a car to build is by word of mouth. It seems like there's always a fellow enthusiast who knows the whereabouts of every primo piece with rodding potential within a 1,000-mile radius of their garage. These guys are to hot rodding as willow branches are to well drillers: if what you're after is around, they'll find it. You just have to ask the right questions of the right people. Then of course there's the way we found this year's Road Tour car--mostly dumb luck with faint overtones of the first two methods described.
During a casual conversation with southern rod builder supreme, Bobby Alloway, SRM's editor Brian Brennan mentioned we were searching for a nice original car to turn into the Road Tour 2001 rod. Alloway's response was the sound of dual glasspacks to our ears. He knew the whereabouts of just what we were after. Alloway advised that Jerry Brown Chevrolet in Buford, Georgia, had an extremely nice '36 Chevrolet sedan and it was for sale. Granted this low-mile gem wasn't on the back row of the used car lot like in the good ol' days--it had been on display in the showroom for many years. When Gary Brown, owner of the dealership and son of its founder, commissioned Alloway to build a street rod, a $7,500 price tag was hung on the Chevy, no warranty expressed or implied.
The '36 was just as it had been described: a solid original car that was complete. All it needed was updated running gear and refined cosmetics to be transformed into a street rod. And the best part is, this car could be duplicated by just about anyone on a reasonable budget. With nothing trick or high-dollar, the real beauty of building a street rod on such a nice original is that not everything has to be done at once. Unfortunately, that particular scenario was out of the question for us. As this car is going to be driven to all the NSRA events this summer and ultimately given away, the car had to be completed in short order. But for those not working against deadlines, the running gear could be changed; then with the car safe, reliable, and on the road, the other improvements could be made as time and money allowed.
Once the deal was closed and the Chevy was ours, it was loaded on a truck and delivered to Charlotte, North Carolina, home of Brent Vandervort and Fatman Fabrications. Brent's crew removed the original engine, transmission, rearend, and suspension from both ends. Exactly 108 1/2 hours of labor later, the Road Tour Chevy was equipped with an independent front suspension including tubular control arms, new rack-and-pinion steering, and a tilt steering column. A new radiator was in place along with engine and transmission mounts to accept a small-block Chevy V-8 and 700-R4. In the rear Fatman supplied a Granada eight-inch rearend that was attached to new parallel leaves. All proven products that are simple, affordable, and most importantly, work extremely well.
Speaking of products working well, one of the best ways to make sure that happens is to plan ahead. As the professionals at Fatman's tell their customers, planning is the key to success, and the most efficient way to build a car is to have all the components on hand. As Vandervort says, "Changing one component will start a chain reaction of related changes," and that's exactly what happened to us. The only glitch in building this car was of our own doing. The original plan called for a small-block Chevy with a Turbo 350, large cap HEI, block hugger headers, and a mechanical fan. The engine mounts were positioned appropriately for those components. However, what we ended up using was a small-block with a 700-R4, a small cap ignition, a different brand of header, and an electric fan/shroud combo. Now all the parts, what we planned and what we used, are all excellent, but are not necessarily interchangeable. The end result was the last minute changes we made required 10 hours of labor to move the motor/transmission mounts to accommodate them. The moral to the story is. . .plan ahead.
When discussing the construction of street rods, one of the subjects that always comes up is the cost, so here's the bottom line on our Road Tour Chevy. At retail prices the total parts bill to transform the chassis from stock to rod would have come to roughly $3,400. At a shop rate of $40 an hour, labor would have been $4,340. However, Brent points out for a homebuilder the labor involved also equates to ten 10-hour Saturdays. That means with the original price of the car plus the chassis parts, the investment to this point would be $10,900. Not bad for what we'll have. And keep in mind, the Road Tour 2001 Chevy could be yours. That would really make it an OK used car.

The basis for our Road Tour 2001 sweepstakes giveaway car is this original '36 Chevy Standard Six. The Stovebolt has a perfect grille and is in excellent condition overall, making it an easy build. Check out the position of the wheels in the fender openings. It appears Chevrolet was pioneering the funny car look--we'll fix it.Out with the old. With the front sheetmetal removed the 206.8ci inliner and three-speed transmission were removed. Rated at 79 horsepower, these six-bangers were better known for blowing the babbit out of the connecting rods than performance.Fatman's has found that the original axle centerline is too far forward on many early Chevrolets. They have discovered this 7/16-inch hole (arrow), found on all '36 to '48 chassis, will give the correct axle centerline. Also note the construction of the framerails. Called a top hat design, an inverted U-section is spot-welded to a 16-gauge bottom plate. These frames should be checked carefully for rust and any modifications must be made properly to prevent cracking. They should never be clipped with a late subframe, such as a Nova. Not only because they're too wide, but it is virtually impossible to weld them to these rails without cracking taking place.A critical step in installing the new front crossmember was to establish the location of the radiator core support holes. With the frame leveled on jackstands and with the front suspension removed, a plumb bob is used to mark the position of the holes on the floor.Next a tri-square and a tape measure are used to determine the height of the core support from the floor. When the new crossmember is installed, these measurements and the location of the holes will be used to position the core support mount supplied in the kit. The new mount must be located properly to ensure the hood and grille fit as they should.Before the stock crossmember is removed, two temporary braces were tack-welded to the rails to hold them in the proper position. This is important to keep them in alignment. To preserve the lips on the frame, Mike Craig ground off the rivet heads holding the crossmember in place, then drilled out the shanks. A torch or a plasma cutter should not be used on this step.Using the 7/16-inch hole in the frame as the centerline, the lower crossmember and the upper A-arm mounts were installed. Using the hole, rather than the stock axle centerline, centers the wheels in the fender openings. The noticeable angle of the upper mount duplicates the stock Ford geometry and provides built-in caster, which helps the car go straight, and anti-dive geometry, which helps keep the nose of the car from dropping under braking.When making any chassis modifications, you can't measure too much or too often. Here Mike cross-measures (he'll make the same measurement on the other side) to ensure the rails and mounts are square.
There are several steering choices for this Fatman frontend. From bottom to top: stock Pinto/Mustang II manual rack, a new Flaming River manual rack with polished stainless center tube (which is what was used), and a '79-93 Mustang power rack. These have better feel and fewer problems with leaks than the earlier design.Connecting the rack to the ididit steering column are shafts, universals, and a support bearing from Borgeson. The column shift lever will be connected to the transmission with a Kugel lever and linkage kit.Originally a large cap HEI distributor was to be used; however, the small-cap distributor we ended up using allowed the engine to be moved back 1 1/2-inches for more pulley/fan clearance.A Cooling Components fan and shroud was attached to the Walker radiator. Although clearance looks tight, there is more than adequate room for the upper pulley, belts and accessories, but this is a prime reason to have all the parts on hand when positioning the engine. Sometimes there isn't much room for error.Before the Mustang spindles were installed, the ECI caliper brackets were bolted on. ECI has an expansive line of disc brake upgrades and conversions.Lots to see here. The Fatman front is equipped with tubular upper and lower control arms--not only do they look cleaner than the originals, they eliminate the need for the lower strut rod. Motor mounts are from Fatman, disc brakes were supplied by ECI, as was the booster and master cylinder visible under the floor.To increase the structural integrity of the frame, Fatman's fabricators fashioned this transmission mount/K-member. It bolts to the bottom flange of the rails which provides increased exhaust system clearance and better torsional rigidity than the more common single tube transmission mounts.By following Fatman's instructions, the front wheels will be moved back slightly from the original axle's centerline just enough to center them in the fender openings.
Chassis Engineering's rear spring kit is a true bolt-on. The rear shackle mount attaches to the bottom flange of the frame with 4 bolts. Note the angle of the shackle.Fatman supplied the rearend, which is an eight-incher from a Granada. By using an axle specified in the Chassis Engineering kit, it's not necessary to move the spring pads on the housing, which saves a considerable amount of work.

Walter Sullivan, former Richmond bishop, dies
"As a bishop, he took risks to try to create an atmosphere in the church where all literally all could find their place in the Church," the Rev. Michael Renninger, now a priest at St. Mary Catholic Church in Richmond, told The Virginian-Pilot.
Sullivan was born in Washington, D.C., in 1928 and received his seminary education at St. Charles College and St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore.
He was ordained as a priest for the Diocese of Richmond in 1953 and received a degree in Canon law from Catholic University in 1960.
In 1970, Sullivan was ordained as auxiliary bishop for the Richmond diocese; four years later, he was installed as bishop.
Sullivan took mandatory retirement in 2003 at the age of 75.
The Diocese of Richmond is one of the oldest in the country, established in 1820 from part of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The diocese is home to 220,000 Catholics, and stretches from Virginia's Eastern Shore to Cumberland Gap on the Tennessee and Kentucky borders, a distance of 535 miles.

The Southern Tier has become one of our most popular tours, and it's easy to see why. This route is 1,200 miles shorter than either the Northern Tier or TransAm and yet offers epic quantities of amazing scenery and shoulder-season sunshine.
After ceremonially dipping your bicycle wheels in the Pacific, we'll climb eastward, riding through southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Next up: Texas, where you'll parallel the Rio Grande River before hitting the bucolic Texas Hill Country, Lance Armstrong's training ground. From there it's on to Louisiana and the spicy heart of Cajun Country. Finally, you'll pedal along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Alabama, cross Florida's panhandle, and ride to adventure's end at St. Augustine. We'll experience a parade of cultures and the delicious cuisines associated with each: from enchiladas to Texas barbecue; alligator po' boys to Southern grits. As one past participant put it, "This trip lends new meaning to the phrase 'eating up the miles.' "
