Dearborn, MI (PRWEB) January 21, 2013
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) announces the election of an industry leader as its 2013 president. Dennis Bray, PhD, FSME, was sworn in along with the rest of the 2013 SME Executive Committee and Board of Directors at the Society's Awards & Installation Banquet held November 10, 2012, in Las Vegas.
"Having a passion for what you do throughout your career is one of those rewarding things that gives you a sense of accomplishment, satisfaction and the drive to find ways to improve," said Bray. "I – like many others involved with SME – are fortunate to have found this passion for manufacturing. SME nurtures this passion for those who choose to be a part of it."
A member of the Society since 1985, Bray was elected to the SME College of Fellows in 2003. Additionally, he serves on the Executive, Budget, Finance and Strategic Planning Committees. He previously chaired the former Manufacturing Enterprise Council (MEC) and provided leadership to the development of the Technical Community Network (TCN).
His honors include the SME Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award and the Ford Foundation Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin.
"SME has a lot to offer," said Bray, "and it is incumbent upon SME leadership to meet the needs by utilizing all facets of SME, by creating meaningful engagements for our contributing members, and by having relevant products and services that inspire, prepare and support the advancement of manufacturing."
Throughout his career, Bray has participated in numerous conferences and events for different organizations serving in many capacities, including session chair, panelist, technical paper presenter and speaker.
Bray is president and chief executive officer of Contour Precision Group LLC in Clover, S.C. Contour Precision Group's family of companies includes Huffman, a manufacturer of precision super-abrasive grinding, additive laser processing and abrasive waterjet manufacturing systems; Huffman Technologies, a provider of manufacturing process engineering services; and Springfield Manufacturing, a contract production services company.
Prior to joining Contour Precision in 2010, Bray was the managing member of Bray Innovation Group LLC. He was president and CEO of Cincinnati Incorporated and earlier served as its executive vice president.
Bray is a member of Crescent Chapter 215. He holds a bachelor's degree in engineering, and a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

VicePresident: Wayne F. Frost, CMfgE
Frost is retired from John Deere Waterloo Works where he managed the lean manufacturing program.

His honors include the SME Award of Merit, SME President's Award, the SME Waterloo Chapter Kurt E. Lear Award and the John Deere General Manager's Award.

A South African court on Thursday formally charged 19 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) rebels with plotting to stage a coup in their home country.
The group is accused of preparing to receive military training to topple President Joseph Kabila and was subject to a special police sting operation.
"They intended on unseating President Kabila unconstitutionally," government prosecutor Shaun Abrahams told the Pretoria Regional Court.
Abrahams said they are members of the Union of Nationalists for the Renewal (UNR) of the DRCongo.
The would-be putschists were not asked to enter pleas and were ordered to return to court on February 14.
The case was also adjourned to allow investigators to verify their identities and for the suspects to engage lawyers.
The group was arrested Tuesday in a pre-dawn raid in a remote part of South Africa's northern and vast province of Limpopo.
South African elite police received a tip-off about the presence of the group in the country in September last year and infiltrated it.
The police "received credible information about a coup and that there were rebels in South Africa to get military assistance," said Abrahams.
An undercover state agent met a member of the group who had "confirmed that they belong to UNR and intended to overthrow the J. Kabila government."
He said they "required large quantity of arms and ammunition and specialised military training," said Abrahams.
They also promised to "pay mercenaries with mining concessions."
An exchange of emails showed a wish list of equipment and services the rebels wanted. These included satellite phones, assault rifles, missiles, radios and military training.
The training was intended to pass as anti-poaching training for game rangers.

Much to-do has been made over the past week or two of Robert Parker's handing over his responsibilities for reviewing California wines at The Wine Advocate. By handing the mantle to Antonio Galloni, he further reduced his influence in the world of wine, and increased the focus on (and speculation about) the growing responsibilities of his staff of contributors.
Amidst speculation as to whether anyone can step in to fill the void that may be left by the waning power of Robert Parker, many are increasingly paying attention to the activities of James Suckling, who recently left the Wine Spectator to strike out on his own. Suckling quickly created his own subscription-based web site that he is populating with blogs, tasting notes, and videos.
This week Suckling made moves that suggest he may be even more ambitious than the theatrical trailer for his eponymous site might have suggested, with the appointment of former Beastie Boys front-man Mike D as a member of his wine blogging staff. As reported by web site Hip Hop DX, his first blog post hinted at some of the diversity he may bring to Suckling's enterprise, as he reviewed a half bottle of "red Burgundy" he drank at a fancy Asian restaurant in New York, calling it "surprisingly ready to rock -- ripe fruits, earthy notes, even a little bit of refined funk. Elegant and restrained with well-balanced tension. 93 points."
Whether future reviews will include any of D's masterful rhymes remains to be seen.
Speculation is rife at Suckling's strategy for filling out his own staff of contributors. Largely based on the videos he is making available to his subscribers, each featuring the owners or winemakers of the world's greatest and most expensive wines, many suggest that Suckling may be populating his site with the voices of the world's most highly paid entertainers, at least those that aren't already winemakers in their own right, such as Suckling's friend, heavy metal rocker Maynard James Keenan.
In a world where the best wines, at least those that deserve 100 points from James Suckling, are increasingly thousands of dollars out of the reach of ordinary consumers, having a staff of celebrity wine reviewers is undoubtedly a sound strategy. The unique combination of leisure time, existing private cellars filled with expensive wine, monstrous egos, and built in followings of raving fans will surely ensure Suckling can corner the market on the world's most exclusive bottlings while generating exponential growth in his reader base.
Any bets on who's next? I've got my money on blind tenor Andreas Bocelli, who Suckling undoubtedly knows thanks to his (rightfully) proud promotion of his daughter's rising career as an opera singer. Bocelli has everything going for him, not the least of which is the fact that as a blind guy who sings, his palate has got to be great, right?

JC De Castelbajac Spring/Summer 2013 Runway Show | Paris Fashion Week
SEE MORE: http://www.fashiontv.com/FashionWeek
PARIS - Always one to cause a stir, JC de Castelbajac called his Spring 2013 collection Paris Fashion Week "Esmeraldorado." But while we were expecting something from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, what we we really got was a lot of tropical prints in darker materials that sort of seemed like a clash between the exotic and the oncoming autumn. This didn't exactly make sense considering this was a Spring/Summer 2013 collection, but when has the reigning king of cartoon prints ever made sense? Not to mention that leather, a quintessential Fall fabric, is in for Spring 2013. The collection also honed in on the modern architecture of Oscar Niemeyer combined with a distinct rainforest, foliage look with colors like green, black, and gray. Later, he showed more foliage in yellow and white, with some dresses emblazoned with a palm tree print. We're still scratching our heads about the Esmeralda meets Quasimodo reference, but the collection tickles our fancy nonetheless.

Reviews for Cranberry-Maple Pork Chops
"I made this for my parents a few weeks ago and they just loved it. They ask for it every other week. I love the cranberry/maple glaze! This is a keeper!"
"so good on chicken as well"
"My family loved it!!"
"Delicious. My finicky husband even liked it. The only change I made was I only had the Jellied Cranberry Sauce on hand so I used it and added a half cup of dried cranberries. I believe I'll do the same next time I make it. Enough left over for another meal. Iserved it with frozen corn and rice. I added some of the sauce to the leftover rice to keep it moist. I used 4 pork chops instead of six but kept the rest of the ingredients the same quantities."
"I made the dish with only one change. I added the Maple Syrup to the mixture rather than drizzling the chops. Excellent! I also used thick center cut chops and the meat was tender and moist cooked according to the recipe. We will use this again and again, both for a family meal and dinner parties."

Choosing Our Own Lives: Two 40-Something Feminists Reflect on Roe
January 25, 2013
Monica J. Casper and Aishah Shahidah Simmons on Abortion, Feminism, Family, Shame, Love, Friendship, and the Way Forward on the 40th Anniversary
of Roe v. Wade
[Over a two-day period, The Feminist Wire Collective Members Aishah Shahidah Simmons and Monica J. Casper shared an e-dialogue about abortion, feminism, family, shame, love, friendship, and the way forward. Here is the largely unedited transcript of their exchange, shared publicly in recognition of the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.–TFW Editors]
January 22, 2013 was the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It was also my first day of teaching the graduate/undergraduate seminar entitled, Audre Lorde: The Life and Work of a Silence Breaker. In the tradition of both of the aforementioned, I wasthrilled to honor my commitment to consistently break my silence and release my shame. I am grateful that my Sister-Comrade, Monica Casper invited me to have this e-dialogue with her. Here's an excerpt of what I shared and Monica's response during our deeply intimate dialogue, which womanifests the saying "the personal is political":
Aishah: "… All of this is happening as I very literally prepare to teach this seminar on Lorde's life, in the 20th anniversary year of the completion of my first short video Silence…Broken, which was created in a Toni Cade Bambara scriptwriting workshop at Scribe Video Center. And, it is dedicated to the life and work of Audre Lorde… (I firmly believe that) NONE OF THIS would have happened or would be going on had I not been able to have an abortion…I should also share that my rape followed by consensual sex with another man happened while on a study abroad program in my sophomore year in college. I was so distraught about everything, which was rooted in my trauma and underscored by my internalized homophobia…I felt as if I couldn't breathe…My making the decision to drop out of college shortly after the rape/sex/pregnancy/abortion, which was followed by my coming out as a lesbian one year later, enabled me to forge ahead with my then unknown trajectory…
I'm thinking about so much shame that I've carried connected to my rape, consensual sex, pregnancy, abortion, dropping out of college…It's very intense in the context of developing a syllabus about breaking silences IN SPITE OF the fear….
…I often wonder if I did carry my pregnancy to term, would I have come out as a PROUD Black feminist lesbian or would I've been afraid and concerned about what that would mean for the unborn? Would I have made NO! The Rape Documentary? …. Who knows? Even if the answers are yes, what I know is that it wouldn't be what it is today….
These are the stories and dialogues that we don't get to have because we're so busy fighting the surge of the Right Wing to take away all of our reproductive rights. We often don't get to hear the nuances, the complexities, the back stories…For many on the rabid (my words) Right, it's as if women are incubators for fetuses and receptacle for (unwanted) penises…."
Monica: One of my very best therapists ever, in San Francisco, was writing her dissertation on shame. She had this gorgeous argument about how shame was such a driving force for so many of us, both in what we do and what we don't do. Heather [Talley] and I have talked about writing a piece together on the neoliberal university and its strategies of shame, disavowal, and retribution…and those three words resonate so well not just with neoliberalism run amok in higher ed, but also in patriarchy. Women are repeatedly and often quite violently shamed, disavowed, and made to serve retribution…this is written in our bones, our uteruses, our psyches.
Not being ashamed seems like such a gift to self. Living, writing, teaching away the shame…

In this urgent response to violence, racism and increasingly aggressive methods of coercion, Judith Butler explores the media's portrayal of armed conflict, a process integral to how the West prosecutes its wars. In doing so, she calls for a reconceptualization of the Left, one united in opposition and resistance to the illegitimate and arbitrary effects of interventionist military action. Book jacket.

The Buzz, 9-8: Dancing on their graves
Joyce helps Batsheva white-wash Israeli war crimes; City Ballet provides cover for global warmer Koch
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2010 Paul Ben-Itzak
(The opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of other DI writers, staffers, or advertisers. Alternate opinions are welcome in these pages.)
The Joyce Theater in New York, which hosts the Batsheva Dance Company beginning Sept. 21, along with its defenders, will no doubt argue that Israel's national dance company -- that's how the Joyce's website describes it -- should be exempted from the growing and hugely successful (and peaceful) Palestinian-led BDS (boycott, divestiture, sanction) movement because 'art' should be separate from 'politics.' The two problems with this line of defense are a)the wanton, unprovoked murder that Israel committed in its invasion of the Gaza strip nearly two years ago, killing 1,400 Palestinians, most of them civilians, is not 'politics' but war crimes (it was Israel that refused to renew a truce, which would have put a halt to the rocket fire from Gaza governors Hamas that many of Israel's supporters cite to justify Israel's actions), and 2)besides receiving state funds, Batsheva's touring is part of a deliberate, admitted strategy by Israel to present an alternate, softer image of itself to counter the reality of a country which flaunts international and humanitarian law by illegally occupying another people's territory for 43 years, dissecting it with an illegal wall, firing on and killing civilian men, women, and children waving white flags, letting civilians it's injured bleed to death while preventing ambulances from reaching them, destroying everything from olive trees to houses people have lived in for centuries in their own land, preventing vital supplies from reaching 1.5 million Palestinians its enclosed in the Gaza strip, attacking in international waters a non-violent humanitarian flotilla bringing needed supplies and aid to them and killing nine of the activists aboard, and more. This is the Israel that Batsheva -- and, apparently, the Joyce -- doesn't want us to see. (In other words: Batsheva's tour, and the Joyce's support of it, is itself a political act, and it is thus appropriate to respond to it with the political act of boycott.) This is one reason I -- and a growing number of artists and intellectuals around the world -- support the BDS movement. Before Israel and its ambassadors -- and Batsheva takes pride in its role as an ambassador for Israel -- can be welcomed in civilized venues like theaters, it needs to start acting civlized.
City Ballet returns to David Koch Pro-Global Warming Theater
The Joyce Theater is not the only NYC dance organization helping questionable citizens with PR makeovers. As we've
previously reported,
just as it did in an earlier era for Philip Morris cigarettes, the arts, chiefly New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, are now providing cover for David Koch, the oil billionaire who, unfortunately, doesn't just spend his money on refurbishing theaters, as he did for the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center. On the heels of Jane Mayer's recent New Yorker piece, "The billionaire Koch brothers' war against Obama," which among other things detailed David and Charles Koch's funding of dangerous "Tea Party" related organizations, the Associated Press reported last weekend that the Koch brothers, owners of Koch Industries, the largest privately owned oil company in the United States, just contributed $1 million to the campaign for a California fall ballot proposition that would suspend that state's mild global warming law, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions statewide to 1990 levels over the next decade.
In this and previous efforts by the Koch brothers to fund organizations that downplay the threat of global warming with phony science, David Koch's obvious stake is to defend the oil interests on which his fortune is based. This is the fortune from which Koch draws for things like the $100 million he donated for the renovation of the New York State Theater -- and having it renamed the David Koch Theater. He doesn't do it to keep Wendy Whelan in pointe shoes. He does it because it's a good image investment; for every obscure story from the AP or the New Yorker about the Koch brothers' right-wing political activities and questionable environmental record that most newspapers bury, a million readers of the NY Times see the name David Koch associated with just about the purest art form around every time the NY Times or anyone else reviews a New York City Ballet concert and refers to it taking place at the "David Koch Theater" (except the Dance Insider; our policy is not to refer to the theater by his name and thus not participate in the Koch makeover). The problem, though, is that oil sticks, and it is now sullying New York City Ballet, allying it with a major force in derailing efforts to save our planet. When the Earth is gone, over-heated and submerged in melted ice caps, will New York City Ballet be dancing on its grave?
PS: As they did with the Philip Morris cancer money, some in the arts will argue that in these tough economic times, they can't afford to be picky about where their funding comes from. However, it should be remembered that one of the reasons arts organizations are so strapped is that public money for the arts has been eviscerated -- in large part to give property or other tax breaks to those like... David Koch.

Food and Mood.
Saturday, February 26, 2011
I used to date a man who always said, "I wish I didn't have to eat. I just don't care about food, and it's a chore for me to eat."
What?! I don't understand this at all. AT ALL. Food is such a huge part of life, and learning to co-exist with it peacefully, is my major challenge.
I love food. I love to shop. I love to cook. I love to eat. Is that "normal?" Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, it's me, and I need to work with it.
So, anyway, fast forward to February of 2011, when I am currently not peacefully co-existing with food at all. I read the SP boards a lot, and I see all these people, who are doing various diets and lifestyle changes, and they just... do it. They just say, "I'm going to start eating fewer carbs," and bam, they lower their carb intake by half. How do they do it? How do they just make the switch? I often feel like food is controlling me, rather than the other way around. I don't know how or when this happened. Rationally, I know that when I eat a pound of animal crackers before bed, I will wake up in the a.m., feeling like I got hit by a truck. Rationally, I am aware of the fact that 6 servings of pretzels, while zoned out on American Idol, will only make me look like a puffer fish in the morning. So, why do I do it? Why do I insist on having a food hangover every morning?
I have noticed that lately, I am a bear. I am moody, irritable, exhausted, annoyed, snappy, emotional, anxious, etc. My husband thinks I am totally burnt out. He thinks the kids are making me into a lunatic. Maybe so, but I truly believe that a lot of it is diet related. I think I am "over-carbing" and "over-grazing" in the evenings, resulting in awful mood swings and terrible food hangovers. Food directly affects my mood. That's it.
So, how am I going to conquer this? I don't know. Any ideas? A therapist once said to me, "Who is in control of the food? Can the food really be in control?" Um, no. The food cannot be in control. I am in control here. So how am I going to take back my control? I truly need to figure this out. I really have no problems during the day, but the evenings are really difficult for me. I would like to say that I have a grand plan for taking my power back... But I don't. So, I am reaching out here. How do we conquer those pesky cravings for carbs, salt, and sugar? I am not trying to lose weight, but to gain a healthier relationship with food. I want balance. I want to feel the confidence of having control over my habits. Right now, I am in a battle, which I am on my way to losing. I am ready to win.
So, I can only control one day at a time. Here is my plan for today. I will:
Eat when I am hungry.
Eat slowly and chew my food.
Stop when I am satisfied.
Plan ONE snack to eat between 8-9pm, and then brush teeth and close the kitchen.
Realistic, eh??

Yes! One thing I've been doing lately is saying (out loud) after my last bite for the day, "The kitchen is closed."

Very good accommodation.
Well placed , excellent stop over Motel
Only stayed one night but it was easy to find , modern , comfortable & well equipped.
Reasonably priced too. As it is only a Motel there is no food available but the centre of the small town of Axbridge is less than 5 minutes away, & there are some well priced pub meals available. We used The Crown & found the food excellent with generous portions. When travelling to the West Country we would use the Reservoir View again , either as a centre or stopping off point.

Local Man Loses 140 Pounds on HCG
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on February 21, 2012 @ 1:39PM
Created on February 21, 2012 @ 1:03PM
"There was a time in my life where I came to the point of suicide and I wanted to end my life, but I had a person who spoke a word to me, don't ever give up. And I chose to never give up," said Jim Basnett, a Mannington native, who lost 140 pounds on the HCG diet.
One year ago, Jim Basnett made a decision. Tired of battling to lose weight his entire life, he decided he would try a new diet, the HCG diet. It turned out to be one of the best decisions he ever made.
"I decided in my heart it was time to win and to end this vicious struggle with the pain and heartache of it," Basnett said. "I talked to my medical doctor and she told me there was the HCG diet."
He set out on his journey on April 19th, 2011, doing four 42-day cycles of the hormone, and eating a mere 500 calories a day. To a man who was used to eating much more, it wasn't always easy.
"Was my stomach hungry? Yes," Basnett admits. "But was the grace of God upon me? Yes. Through the first cycle, I lost about 47 pounds. The second was about 40-some pounds. The next cycle was another 40-some pounds. It added up to my total weight loss in 8 months was 141.9 pounds."
He tracked his progress in a journal, weighing himself everyday, with encouraging results. He managed to hit his goal weight in December.
"I was 226.6 pounds, I wanted to reach 225," he recalled. "I took that last hormone shot and I went to bed. The next day, I weighed 223.6, and for the first time, I won. I won against this battle, the giant that I faced all my life. The heart-ache and pain of being overweight and the physical and mental pain of it, it ended."
He's now been off HCG for about two months, and has managed to maintain his weight. But besides learning new eating habits, he says the biggest thing he learned from this diet, is not to give up.
"Believe you can do it," he says. "The biggest thing is don't make excuses like, there's a dinner coming up soon. There's going to be Fourth of July, there's going to be Thanksgiving, there's going to be Christmas. I did that my whole life, and I remained {stuck} in my weight because I always made excuses."

Renowned worldwide in his lifetime and remembered today as a double bass virtuoso, Giovanni Bottesini excelled in every branch of musicianship, but his operas and sacred works were overshadowed by those of Verdi and have fallen into neglect. Composed in response to the death of his brother Luigi, Bottesini's large scale Requiem combines ecclesiastical counterpoint with formal innovation and the expressive lyricism and dramatic orchestration of operatic models.
"... this rare recording of Bottesini's rarely heard Requiem is unreservedly recommended."
Jerry Dubins - Fanfare - September/October 2013
*** Good
Alessandro Turba - Musica magazine - July/August 2013
"... He [Thomas Martin] leads a very nicely crafted performance here, with excellent soloists, a very fine chorus, and a well known orchestra in top form. We get impressive sound ... You won't find any other recordings of this music, so no fan of big-band choral extravaganzas should not be without this one."
Lindsay Koob - American Record Guide - July/August 2013
"...the work's great gem, the 'Quid sum miser', beautifully sung by tenor Agustín Prunell-Friend. It's worth buying the disc just to enjoy this aria, with its exquisite clarinet obbligato. The other soloists give equally operatic and distinguished performances. The Joyful Company of Singers are also on splendid form and sing this music as if they have known it for years... An enjoyable piece, worth exploring."
**** - Excellent album

Actress Barbara Eden will take her magic to the longest running professional dinner theater in the country when the Alhambra Theatre & Dining opens "Social Security" from May 7 through June 8, 2014. Social Security is a comedy that was originally directed on Broadway by Mike Nichols.
For five years from 1965-1970, America was fixated on a unique premise of a dashing Naval officer whose life was turned upside down by a 2,000 year old blonde, female genie he discovered by rubbing a bottle. 139 episodes later, including 30 of them in black and white during its first season, Jeannie, played by Barbara Eden and Major Nelson, played by Larry Hagman fell in love and got married. "I Dream of Jeannie" went on to international syndication, and both Hagman and Eden went on to successful and diverse acting careers, but Eden will always be known best for her role as the fun-loving, naïve and provocative, 'Jeannie'.
"When I announce her name during my Warm Welcome to our guests, Barbara Eden far and away receives the biggest cheers of any star we've had on our stage during the last four years," says Craig Smith, Managing Partner of the Alhambra. "I am awed by her on so many levels, and I know our guests will immediately connect with her. She's a tremendous talent and brings her same enchanting charm to this show as she did to TV more than 40 years ago."
Social Security ran on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theater in 1986. The story focuses on trendy Manhattan art gallery owners, Barbara and David Kahn, whose life is upended when Barbara's sister Trudy, a housewife, deposits their eccentric mother, Sophie, played by Eden, on the couple's doorstep while she and her husband, Martin, head to Buffalo to rescue their promiscuous daughter, a college student. Barbara and David introduce the mother to suave artist, Maurice Koenig, who offers to paint her portrait and soon begins to brighten her life in ways she never expected in her twilight years.
About Barbara Eden: People Magazine named Barbara "One of America's 200 Greatest Pop Icons of the 20th Century." She has also been honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame near the front of the world famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre. She was named one of TV Guide's Most Popular Comedy Stars and has received the Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Broadcasters Hall of Fame and the TV Land Television Network.
When there's time in her crowded schedule, she works actively on behalf of numerous charities including The Trail of Painted Ponies Breast Cancer Research, American Cancer Society, the Wellness Community, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the March of Dimes, the American Heart Association, Save the Children and Childhelp USA.
Looking for a little more social security, come see a show that has nothing to do with money. Make sure you get your tickets for the Broadway show "Social Security" starring Barbara Eden. Social Security is presented by Sawyer Gas & WEJZ-FM.
About The Menu: As he does for each show, Executive Chef DeJuan Roy will celebrate the show with a menu that fits its themes. For Social Security, the first course includes a choice of Garden salad with tomato, cucumber, carrot and onion with walnut dressing or Matzah Ball soup. The second course includes a choice of Chicken Pomadoro with linguini and green beans, or Fried Catfish with shrimp creole and white rice pilaf, or Braised Barbeque Beef Brisket with new potatoes, and green beans, or Wild mushroom, spinach, and cheese strudel with spicy lentil fondue and asparagus. For dessert, guests can choose from New York style cheesecake with strawberries coulis or Monkey Bread with warm caramel sauce.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) --When you find "the one" your heart may skip a few beats. In honor of Valentine's Day. We'll show you dishes to help keep your sweetie's heart beating for a very long time.
"You want flavors that say, marone a mia! There's no love without flavor!" Isabella Morgia di Vicari told Ivanhoe.
Cupid's arrow hit this chef's heart twice. Isabella Morgia di Vicari is passionate about food and her husband.
"Jeffy is the love of my life," Isabella said.
And she wants to make sure he has a long life. So she's cooking up some romantic heart healthy Valentine's Day dishes, that won't break the bank!
"And when my honey saves some money and spends it on me, I'm just so happy," Isabella said.
To keep your honey's ticker ticking try Isabella's poached salmon with piccata sauce. In a hot skillet, add two four ounce pieces of salmon, wine and water.
"Let it simmer and in five minutes this baby's gonna be done," Isabella said.
Make the creamy sauce with olive oil, shallots, fresh squeezed lemon juice.
"If I don't drink it, I don't cook with it, that's my rule," Isabella said.
Stir in some light sour cream, and spoon it on.
"And viola! You have a Valentine's day dish that is affordable, that is beautiful, and that is very health conscious," Isabella said.
For meat lovers try, Osso Buco with beef shank, instead of lamb.
"Very heart conscious ingredients," Isabella said.
With wine and beef stock then. Cook it all together.
"The minute you put that first bite in your mouth, you're going to say, life is good," Isabella said.
The delicious dishes have Jeff's pulse racing.
"There's a party on that plate," Jeff, Isabella's husband, concluded.
Heart healthy food that might just make your date fall in love.
The third way Isabella says you can keep the heart healthy Valentine's Day theme going all year long is by cooking with her five favorite red ingredients. She suggests adding tomatoes, pomegranate, cherries, beats and chili peppers to your favorite meals. They're packed with antioxidants and vitamins.

College Hockey:New Hampshire Blanks Merrimack
Wildcats Secure Home Ice for Hockey East Tourney
DURHAM, N.H. — In front of a sold out crowd of 6,501, No. 12 New Hampshire edged past Merrimack 1-0 Saturday night at the Whittemore Center, securing home ice in the Hockey East quarter finals that will be held March 13-15.
The victory extends the Wildcats' unbeaten streak to six games, and the loss for Merrimack marks the 14th time this season the Warriors have lost a contest by a one goal difference.
The Warriors, now out of contention for a playoff spot, went 0-4 on the power play and their rookie netminder Joe Cannata made 24 saves. UNH went 0-6 with the man advantage, while goalie Brian Foster stopped 26 in route to his fifth career shutout.
"I thought we played well, disciplined," said Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy. "It took the wind from our sails trying to kill so many penalties. . . . I think a big part of the reason why we've been in so many close games is because both of our goal tenders have delivered, for the most part, all year long."
"Brian Foster played solid and made a few spectacular saves," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "When we were on the power play though and had some chances, I thought Cannata made some great saves when we could have gone up 2-0."
Despite two power-play opportunities within the first six minutes, and outshooting UNH 10-6 in the first period, Merrimack failed to capitalize and allowed the Wildcats, who didn't get a shot on net until halfway through the period, to get on the board first.
Senior captain Greg Collins drove the puck to the crease from the left corner in the Warrior zone, attempting to punch it in past Cannata twice. But on the third rebound, Cannata let one slip by when Peter LeBlanc was there by the right post to tuck the puck in for the Wildcats' lone goal of the night and his 10th of the season at 13:24.
The second and third stanzas were scoreless, which made for some intense goal tending and defense.
The Warriors kept the pressure in the Wildcat zone early on in the second, as Foster blocked multiple shots from the slot and left circle by Warriors Joe Cucci and Karl Stollery. Foster managed to grab a bullet that came in off a rush, but seconds later made a diving save across the crease when Merrimack's Chris Barton went one on one with him from the slot.
When UNH sophomore Matt Campanale was sent to the box for interference at 16:06, the Warrior power play attempted to finally push one past Foster. The best opportunities were lost when Merrimack missed out on two rebounds by re-directing the puck just wide of the net. UNH's Collins intercepted the puck towards the end of the penalty kill and skated down to get a shot on Cannata.
The Wildcats had a strong defensive flow in the third period, blocking shots and intercepting passes, holding Merrimack to a game-low of six shots on net.
"I don't want to take anything away from how smart and how well Merrimack played, but not until the third period did we play defensively in our own end," explained Umile. "We played very well defensively in the third."
LeBlanc blocked a pass in the neutral zone and went down the left wing, but couldn't chip it in past Cannata for a second goal.
"Greg Collins, I mean he's tenacious around the net," said Umile. "He finds ways to stay alive, but so does LeBlanc. I mean Peter put in the only goal earlier. Tenaciously; that's how they've played all year."
UNH improves to 18-9-5 overall and 14-7-4 in HE, and despite securing home ice for the quarter finals, not all of the pressure is off the Wildcats just yet, as they are currently tied with Vermont in the Hockey East standings with 32 points.
"There is still a lot of pressure for us personally," said Umile. "We want to continue to win and battle Vermont for the third spot; that's where we want to be."
The Wildcats travel to Vermont next weekend for the final two league contests of the regular season.

What are fermented foods?
Fermented foods are traditional, natural and provide us with the probiotics and enzymes we need to function. Fermented foods are highly beneficial.
While pasteurization and irradiation kill bacteria and yeast, fermentation actually uses live bacteria and yeast, as well as a sugar source, to create its end products, which include naturally fermented sauerkraut, kimchi, sourdough bread, beer and wine, yogurt, and yes, kombucha. Kombucha is not as fermented as wine or beer; it only has a tiny percentage of alcohol.
The fermentation process is what makes fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi so rich in probiotic bacteria. Fermentation has traditionally been used as a means of preserving food.
Top 8 reasons eating fermented foods can improve your health
1. Fermented foods improve digestion.
Fermenting our foods before we eat them is like partially digesting them before we consume them. According to Joanne Slavin, a professor in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Minnesota, "…sometimes people who cannot tolerate milk can eat yogurt. That's because the lactose (which is usually the part people can't tolerate) in milk is broken down as the milk is fermented and turns into yogurt."
2. Fermented foods restore the proper balance of bacteria in the gut.
Do you suffer from lactose intolerance? Gluten intolerance? Constipation? Irritable bowel syndrome? Yeast infections? Allergies? Asthma? All of these conditions have been linked to a lack of good bacteria in the gut.
3. Raw, fermented foods are rich in enzymes.
Your body needs [enzymes] to adequately digest, absorb, and utilize the nutrients in your food. As you age, your body's supply of enzymes goes down.
4. Fermenting food actually increases the vitamin content.
Fermented dairy products show an increased level of folic acid which is critical to producing healthy babies as well as pyroxidine, B vitamins, riboflavin and biotin depending on the strains of bacteria present. [1. Vitamin Profiles of Kefirs Made from Milk of Different Species. International Journal of Food Science & Technology. 1991. Kneifel et al]"
5. Eating fermented food helps us to absorb the nutrients we're consuming.
You can ingest huge amounts of nutrients, but unless you actually absorb them, they're useless to you. When you improve digestion, you improve absorption.
6. Fermenting food helps to preserve it for longer periods of time.
Milk will go bad in the fridge but kefir and yogurt last a lot longer. Sauerkraut, pickles and salsa will keep for months. And if you've got a huge batch of produce in your garden that you don't know how to use up — ferment it!
7. Fermenting food is inexpensive.
There's nothing fancy required for this hobby. And many of the foods required to make these recipes are very cheap. You can use inexpensive cabbage to make sauerkraut, or get yourself a kombucha scoby and with just pennies' worth of water, sugar and tea, you've got a health elixir slash soda pop.
8. Fermenting food increases the flavor.
There's a reason humans enjoy drinking wine and eating stinky cheese. There's a reason we like sauerkraut on our hot dogs and salsa on our tortilla chips. It tastes good!

No, we're not exactly current on this product, but the Zoya Smoke Collection Sampler ($48) from Fall 2011 sums up exactly how we feel about the trends of Spring 2012. We're not cheerful neon-wearing, colorblocking fairies 24/7/365. Sometimes, we're PMSing hard and want to smash in mailboxes all through this town. And during those times of bloodstained angst, we prefer to wear Cynthia and Codie instead of Bright Ass Orange and OMGLOOKATMEBLUE.
No, we will not take a chill pill. Instead, we will take a Midol and drink a cup of coffee.
The Zoya Smoke collection is awesome. I agree that sometimes, dark colors are the way to go. I love Anja and Cynthia especially.

Richard Rivette Congressional Candidate Texas District n
Biography of Richard Rivette from Liberty and Justice for All Committee
- Grew up in rural area, with a single mother during the 1960s, helping raise a younger brother in less than ideal circumstances.
- Studied to excel and gain scholarships during secondary school – winning awards for language, art, science, and lettering in debate.
- Worked from age 13 as a janitor, dishwasher, later as a busboy and prep cook in restaurants his entire youth.
- In high school founded the school newspaper and built a graphic arts shop for which he won an award from the Western Publishing Company.
- Earned a Governor's Art award and had his work on display in the state legislature.
- Took charge of advertising sales to fund the class yearbook since the school had no funds during an austerity budget crisis.
- Produced live entertainment to raise money to help fund the sports programs.
- Worked to attend college in New York, studying marketing, communications, and advertising, while living in the South Bronx helping to care for his elderly blind grandmother – whose family immigrated legally to this country in 1905-1908.
- Learned about issues facing disabled seniors at that time.
- In Florida, he pursued a career in advertising, marketing and communications, first for smaller firms, then, securing a position with a national firm that had contracts with NASA and the Space Shuttle. Unfortunately, shortly after his arrival the company experienced 75% job losses due to executive mismanagement.
- Using the layoff as a springboard, he launched his own company and began cultivating clients in the region, and ultimately throughout the United States and Caribbean.
- When starting his first company, he had to finance equipment at 24% interest, so he understands where our current economy is headed, if we do not make haste in correcting the situation.
- As a creative director, he also wrote and produced music for professional stage productions and served as technical director for over 120 regional shows over a five-year period.
- Over the following 30-year period he served as a consultant over a wide range of marketing, research, planning and communications projects in two dozen industrial categories including manufacturing, financial, insurance, healthcare, environmental engineering, telecommunications, construction, real estate, travel & tourism, computer software, housewares, publishing, retail furniture, health products, appliances, apparel, food products and more.
- In the early 1980s, at the beginning of the computer revolution, Mr. Rivette became an evangelist supporting Apple and the proliferation of laser digital composition and document creation using the newly introduced Macintosh. He studied the adaptability and interface of the computers, mating them with the compositing systems to create a laser printer driver for a private printing company.
- At this time, he added computer networking and software instruction to his repertoire working on the presentation for IBM as it introduced the first LAN.
- He steadily gained a client list as he assisted small to medium size businesses to convert to the information age.
- Among these business leaders, he found mentors. As he educated them on computers, networking and provided his creative talents to write, design and produce their materials, he gained an expanded education on business, industry, and the importance of capitalism by many people who grew something from nothing.
- In the late 1980s, he began his education in environmental issues and regulations while working with clients involved in remediation of toxic waste and issues surrounding major pipelines.
- During this time, he helped a large multi-national environmental engineering firm to secure a one hundred million dollar proposal. This spear-headed a life-long interest and concern for keeping our environment clean and balancing the needs of business with those of our ecosystems.
- In the early 1990s, he had developed a reputation for providing advertising support and business development materials and advice.
- His networks began to stretch across the oceans and he began analyzing and developing manufactured goods for domestic and international markets.
- His experience includes working directly with clients and concerns in the European Union, China & Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, India, Afghanistan, South Africa, West Africa, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
- His packaged work, and support materials appeared on television infomercials, and in regional and national chains, such as Kmart, Wal-Mart, Target, and dozens of others. His efforts were key to supporting over $100 million in direct product sales worldwide and the creation of several dozen brands.
- For these projects, he had to learn to work in multiple languages, although not fluently, using French and Spanish, among others.
- During this phase of business growth, he returned to college to study Psychology, Sociology, Constitutional and Criminal Law, and Spanish.
- Later, he took collegiate courses in HTML coding, Java and JavaScript to support his expanded interest in internet technologies. He currently also uses PHP coding, Perl, CGI-Bin, adapts dynamic modules and performs other programming tasks as needed.
- In the mid-1990s, recognized for his ability to conduct intensive research, he was also asked to review investigations involving high level criminal cases by the legal community.
- He spent five years assigned by state and Federal judiciary as a licensed private investigator to criminal matters, in addition to running his own marketing concern.
- He also worked on anti-counterfeiting cases and wrote summaries for mitigating circumstances in capital criminal cases working as the defense investigator for those who faced the death penalty.
- He continued to consult clients worldwide, expanding his catalogue of work supporting in excess of a billion dollars in client sales.
- His materials have been seen on QVC, HSN, online, and in most major stores.
- He worked for a multi-national corporation rewriting their proposal shell, troubleshooting publishing issues and supported the development of new Fortune 1000 accounts. For his various efforts, he was named North American Associate of the Year.
- Over the next decade, he consulted medical and healthcare clients in various parts of the country.
- For other clients, he formed startups in categories such as: boating, resorts, manufactured housing, and appliances – establishing brands and developing entirely new market opportunities which lead to expanded job creation.
- He built national dealer networks and created trade show presence for various firms, including international export support for American manufacturers.
- In reaction to the economy of the past three years, he has stepped in to help save companies by defining new markets, altering products, and connecting companies with investors.
- Expert at writing RFP responses for large bids, he secured contracts for American companies to sustain HUD zone firms through the current economy in excess of $1.8 billion dollars.
His whole life, he quietly gave of his time to a wide range of charitable organizations, helping with fundraising and many other items:
- Fundraised for public libraries, children's charities and medical charities.
- Served on homeowner's board of directors and founded a community theatre board.
- He worked on many projects to raise money for those in need including Haitian refugees and displaced Hurricane Andrew families.
He volunteered for many causes long before it became fashionable as touted by the government.
When others had shied away from confrontation, he and his wife organized rallies against the Klan. He believes in the equal rights of the Constitution and that we should all have equal opportunity if we are to survive as a nation.
His product analysis and development skills combined with international business background helped propel him into his most charitable and challenging efforts to date:
- On January 12, 2010, when the earthquake struck Haiti he put his business on hold for months, and helped gather a consortium of manufacturers and developers to attack the problem of homelessness in Haiti, to provide inexpensive yet durable and effective housing for the hundreds of thousands of displaced persons.
- The housing was inherently planned to counter the effects of disease, hurricanes, earthquakes and many other issues.
- The U.S. State Department requested that FEMA authorized contractors step up to collaborate and Mr. Rivette was integral to part of the private sector effort.
- As a representative for clients, he participated in several high level conferences in Washington and Miami.
- He chaired and gave the opening statement at the Global Conference on Reconstruction for Haiti, joining industry and government leaders in conference.
- Submitted comprehensive housing plans and materials for the Clinton/Bush foundation.
- Met with members of the Haitian government and the professional Haitian Diaspora community worldwide.
- For months, he also consulted with industry leaders, and then to discuss proposals with the U.S. Commerce Secretary Locke at the industrial gathering in Washington, D.C.
- He promoted the integration of experienced businesses with the NGOs in the field, the U.S. and Haitian governments, and prepared for the installation of demonstration housing models on the island.
- He also designed a model city plan to include a more modern infrastructure to counter known diseases and security issues.
This work also positioned his clients for providing disaster assistance in Chile after their earthquake, and for mining concerns in West Africa.
Mr. Rivette knows personally what it is like to start out with nothing, work against adversity to achieve, and help others grow their ideas. Now, he would like to have a hand in providing an atmosphere conducive to job creation in North Carolina.
Having spent a lifetime acquiring new skills and knowledge in a wide range of industries, as well as an understanding of government regulation compliance, and the creation of jobs for many companies, Mr. Rivette feels he is poised to serve this state and make decisions that could alleviate budget problems, improve education, eliminate crime, support public services, solve complex issues, and provide North Carolina with new impetus to move forward financially.
Currently, he is back in Charlotte, consulting new businesses. His work in April 2012 includes two newly formed companies hiring in Georgia for new healthcare products, and three new product lines for companies in the Northeast U.S. He is expanding on-air brand lines, and bringing an entirely new personal care product to market throughout the U.S. creating manufacturing jobs in New York and on the East Coast.
He has been married to the same woman for over 25 years and they have been blessed with one child, whom they home-school. He is a homeschooling father assisting with his son's education. He hopes to befriend many people during this campaign and learn more about his neighbors. He believes that everyone can have a seat at the table.

What is MinFlexx?
MinFlexx is an anti-slip coating which can be applied to most indoor, hard surfaces, and has been specially developed for the domestic, household market. It will be effective especially in areas subject to floor wetting, such as bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, porches, etc.
MinFlexx dries to a gloss finish which can be buffed to a higher shine if required. A low lustre version is also available. It has the added advantage of protecting your floor from staining from a wide range of household substances and scuff marks from shoes etc. This is particularly useful for wood and laminate floors which are very susceptible to marking, so helps to keep your floor looking cleaner.
It is a
surprisingly thin,
water-based product, producing no offensive odour and is safe to apply
confined spaces. Apply using lint-free mop, roller or brush to a clean
floor. Only 20 minutes drying time means that floor downtime is
minimised. It is also very economical - a little goes a long way. A
minimum of 3 coats on initial application is recommended for most
What kind of floors will MinFlexx be suitable for?
MinFlexx is suitable for almost all hard surfaces, including ceramic, quarry and terrazzo tiles; stone, travertine, marble, wood, laminate, vinyl, rubber etc. Some very porous or unsealed surfaces such as softwood may require to be sealed before application.
Even more traction required?
If you have a particularly problematic surface (e.g. an entranceway in public use subject to regular wetting),
you may wish to consider adding micro-traction granules to the coating.
These will give the surface a very finely textured appearance. Simply
add to product pack and mix thoroughly and regularly during application.
How long will a MinFlexx application last?
This is really hard to say as it depends on the type of surface and the amount of foot traffic; however in a normal domestic environment with medium use, it should last for a number of months, sometimes longer. MinFlexx is very simple to apply with a mop, cloth, brush or roller, dries very quickly, and can be re-applied to the whole area or just touched up in worn areas when necessary. Just regard an extra mop-over with MinFlexx, once in a while, as part of your normal cleaning routine, to maintain that shiny, anti-slip surface.
Does a MinFlexx treated floor need special cleaning?
Not really. For most situations, simply use any quality, low-foaming floor cleaning detergent at its recommended dilution. However you must not use bleach or any strong chemicals directly on the floor which may strip the product. Please take care if using concentrated bleach around toilets etc – any spillages will "hole" the coating, even if wiped up immediately. However, if this happens, the area can be touched up with MinFlexx once the bleach has been completely removed and rinsed away.
Any floor, whether treated or not, should NEVER be cleaned with washing up liquid or any similar high-sudsing, soapy or highly alkaline product. Why? Well consider how slippy a wet bar of soap is, and just how difficult it can be to rinse away all those suds after mopping. Unless these are completely rinsed away using several changes of water in the mop bucket (and who has time to do that these days?), soapy deposits will remain on the floor. Just as soon as the floor gets wet, you have actually created a hazard – a floor probably slippier than the one you first started with.**** ORDER BY 2PM FOR DELIVERY NEXT WORKING DAY BY TRACKED INTERLINK EXPRESS SERVICE ****

One can define a knot in two ways:
(1) A knot is a closed polygonal curve in $\mathbb R^3$
(2) A knot is an equivalence class of embeddings $S^1 \hookrightarrow \mathbb R^3$
And perhaps also:
(3) A knot is an equivalence class of smooth $1$-dimensional submanifolds of $S^3$
Question 1: Can I replace $S^3$ in (3) with $\mathbb R^3$?
Question 2: I would like to define what a regular projection of a knot is. Unfortunately, it depends on whether I use (1), (2) or (3). I would like to use (2) and I have the definition using (1), which goes as follows:
(Definition) A knot projection is called a regular if no three points on the knot project to the same point, and no vertex projects to the same point as any other point on the knot.
How can I define regular projection without (1), that is, how can I define it for embeddings instead of polygonal curves?
Thanks a lot!

Cut Them With A Sword!: Game Of Thrones House Pizzas
The second season of Game of Thrones returned to boob tubes (and tit-v's) last night and what better way to celebrate the television event THAN WITH A PIZZA PARTY? "I dunno, donning cardboard armor and running around in the front yard poking your friends with a stick?" You, sir, clearly know how to host a viewing party. Geekologie Reader 4lbatroz made these Game of Thrones house sigil pizzas. I would eat them. I would eat them until I was full, then still try to fit a cinnamon breadstick in me. It would prove fatal.
Thanks 4lbatroz -- wanna come over and make some pizzas for the new Gossip Girl tonight?
