In almost 80 years of life, Jesse White has accomplished more in his lifetime than most could ever imagine. From minor league baseball to Illinois Secretary of State, White has dedicated his life to the embetterment of others. Charming and eloquent of speech, Jesse White reflects in a recent interview of a life well-lived.
Jesse White has availed himself to the work of mentorship since 1956 via his name-sake tumbling team. Chicago has been home to the Jesse White Tumbling Team and have watched the young boys and girls become bright young men and women. White looks back at his time as a youth participating in gymnastics, playing minor league baseball with the Chicago Cubs, jumping out of planes and serving three tours of duty in the military as the catalyst for his passion to work with youth. Giving back, especially to underserved youth in the inner city, Jesse has impacted 14,500 youngsters through his program. Managing to keep the majority of those young people out of trouble. Currently, 71 of the 325 members of the tumbling team attend college and Jesse White awards their accomplishments with scholarships from $3000 to $8000 per student. Opening their vision and instilling in them purpose and dedication to go through life, Jesse White have uplifted so many.
Beyond their four block radius, the youth have traveled the world over. Traveling to Belize, Croatia, Tokyo, the Cayman Islands and so many other places local and abroad for performances, the Jesse White Tumbling Team have an extensive resume of accolades that give them a sense of pride. They can return to their local communities sharing their experiences and encouraging other youngsters to dream big.
Jesse White is the longest serving Secretary of State of Illinois and the first African American to hold the position. He has broken down barriers and have made accomplishments to advance African Americans in the state of Illinois. His legacy has touched thousands of lives. To think of someone who has persevered through tough times and accomplished greatness, Jesse White remains humble. A living legend worthy of praise.

JOANNE'S FAVOURITE RECIPES Published February 06, 2015

Development of the first Soviet geosynchronous satellites began at the end of the 1960's. New operations and communications methods were required. In July 1974 a Proton DM put a Molniya-1 into geosynchronous orbit as a test. This proved methods for the specialized Raduga satellites that were to be stationed at 35 deg and 85 deg E. Construction of the first Raduga was completed in 1975. It was equipped with 2 x 3 barreled transponders. The Delta 1 transponder (V I Moguchev, Chief Designer) was for dedicated military communications, while the Delta 2 (M V Brodskiy) was used for national and international civilian communications.
Internationally designated Statsionar-1, Raduga represented the first use of the new universal spacecraft bus KAUR-3. The KAUR-3 spacecraft bus was 3-axis stabilized using liquid propellant micro-engines to within 0.25 degrees of the earth's centre. The single-unit body was equipped with solar panels, and active liquid-gas phase-change thermoregulation system, and a corrective engine unit for making orbital adjustments. 25 square meters of solar panels provided 1280 W of power.
The Raduga constellation expanded by 1994 to 12 spacecraft distributed among 9 locations for global coverage. In addition to the six standard 6/4 GHz transponders, Raduga spacecraft could host Gals (8/7 GHz), Luch (14/11 GHz), and Volna (1.6/1.5 GHz) transponders.
Flight trials of Molniya-3 and Raduga continued until 1978, after which they were accepted into military service. The State Trials Commission was headed by A A Maksimov, succeeded by General N F Shlykov. After the fall of the Soviet Union a price of $ 100 million was quoted for satellite and launch.
AKA: 11F638; Gran.
Gross mass: 1,954 kg (4,307 lb).

Categories: Reviews: Equipment : Cameras : 35mm Film Cameras : Manual Focus SLR Cameras
Get classic with the Vivitar V3800N, a 35mm SLR camera with a 28-70mm zoom lens packed with features ideal for aspiring photographers. A bright viewfinder with split-image focusing and three-LED display makes composing shots painless and easy. The depth-of-field preview and multiple exposure settings provide the fine-tuning control that great photographers demand.
Film loading is manual with the traditional single-frame advance, and a safety mechanism prevents double-frame advance or double exposures. The camera is also equipped with a hot shoe so you can easily connect a flash unit for more light. The self-timer has a 10-second delay, useful for taking group photos or self-portraits. Weighing barely over a pound, the V3800N is an easy carry for photographers on the go.

· A comprehensive retention plan is in place and the new Student Resource Center in the Memorial Student Center is one tool; so far this semester 1,000 students have sought assistance in the Center. The Week of Welcome (WOW)/freshman orientation is another tool being used to increase retention.
· The announcement that CITE has received ABET accreditation is very beneficial as the graduates can now take certification examinations.
· A two-year agreement was recently signed with Mount West Community & Technical College; they will remain on campus this year but will possibly move to their new facility next year.
· A bond refinancing is currently being undertaken that will result in no cost to the university; the MUBOG will decide now to spend the refunded monies.

North Jersey gardeners and others in Zone 6 it may be difficult to believe but it is time to start thinking about peppers. Everyone knows there is a foot of icy snow still sitting malevolently atop the garden patch but seriously, time is marching on.
Consider that peppers can be transplanted to the garden two to three weeks after the final frost and started six to eight weeks before transplanting. They also require 18 to 20 days to germinate so it is obvious that it's time to start filling peat pots with soil and if you don't have your seeds yet? Better visit your favorite seed supplier right away!
Peppers are a bit peculiar; the plants grow really well in cooler weather but require warm weather to germinate. Place the germination pots in direct sunlight in a warm room, 70 degrees is about as low as you want to go with ambient temperature and you will need to stay at this number and above virtually 24/7.
There are an amazing number of varieties of peppers available this season. Bell peppers in nearly every color of the rainbow, sweet and frying peppers of every description and peppers ranging from merely warm to hot, hot, hot! Even the Bhut Jolokia or ghost pepper is available from a number of suppliers and really, that is about as hot as anyone would reasonably want.
So, disregard how it looks and feels outdoors. For zone six gardeners, it's time to start the peppers.

Last month, the Premium Virtual Surround Sound On-the-Ear Headphones w/ Apt-X (#10585) by Monoprice were featured in a Need-to-Know article right here in this column. In that article, you learned that, like many products from Monoprice, these headphones have a long list of features and a shockingly low price. In this article, we are going to dig a little deeper to see what it's like to live with the 10585s and to find out exactly what you get for less than ninety bucks.
These virtual surround sound headphones are not entirely dissimilar to the Premium Bluetooth Over-the-Ear Headphones reviewed here, which is to say they are pretty darn good. Each earpiece is filled with four speakers and each speaker helps to fill your head with the noise of your choice, and depending on that choice, the listening experience can be pretty over the top. These headphones produce a lot of bass that is nicely balanced with a blend of high- and midtones pushed out by the three 13mm tweeters in each earpiece. The overall effect is one of a broad soundscape that makes it seem like the sound is coming from all directions instead of just two as is the case with standard stereo headphones. Pretty amazing for wireless headphones costing less than 90 bucks.
The alphabet soup of features (Apt-X, A2DP, AVRCP, HSP, HFP), which make these headphones so dang special become the stuff of distant memory once the headphones are paired up and blasting tunes. Yes, it is nice that there is some two-way communication going on between the headphones and the device to which they are connected, but when you are lost in a musical moment, none of these features matter. What does matter is the sound, and the sound produced by these headphones is spectacular.
These headphones would be a good deal at around the 200 dollar mark. Companies like Harmon Kardon, Nokia, and Bose sell comparable headphones at around that price point every day. The Premium Virtual Surround Sound On-the-Ear Headphones w/ Apt-X (#10585) by Monoprice, however, don't cost anywhere near $200. In fact, they cost a mere $89.50 which, considering their top-notch performance, makes them a fantastic bargain whether you are thinking of a pair for yourself or the grad or dad in your immediate vicinity. For more information about or to make a purchase of the 10585 headphones, click here.
**Full disclosure: These headphones were provided at no cost for editorial consideration. To think otherwise would be unsound.

Diana P. Perreault
Beloved wife and mother
Diana was born in Waterbury on Sept. 22, 1934, daughter of the late Charles Marciano and Giuseppina (Rosanelli) Pugliese. She was a graduate of B.W. Tinker Grammar School and Crosby High School, class of 1952. She attended the Post Junior College secretarial program, and then received her associate's degree from Mattatuck Community College in the legal secretarial and paralegal field.
In her early years she worked as a secretary for Waterbury Companies, and then for Jaci Carroll as a legal secretary until her retirement. She loved landscaping, horticulture and cultivating flowers.
Her greatest passion was caring for and cooking for her family, particularly southern Italian delicacies. She was especially skilled in copying recipes from scratch. She enjoyed living in Town Plot, where she spent the majority of her years, and in attending Italian feasts.
She looked forward to annual vacations in Wildwood, N.J., where she would spend the week cooking fresh vegetables, barbecuing and enjoying her family, the ocean, Boardwalk funnel cake and walnut fudge.
Left to treasure her memory are her husband of 56 years, Maurice; her daughter, Dr. Sherry LaCoursiere of Waterbury; and her brother, Charles Pugliese and his wife Ann, of Naugatuck.
She also leaves her nephews, David Pugliese of Northfield, Richard Pugliese and his wife Allison, of Middlebury; a grandnephew, grandniece and many cousins and extended family.
The family would like to thank the staff of Waterbury Hospital for the care shown to Diana, particularly the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Emergency departments, and the Medical Intensive Care Unit, as well as Drs. Matthew Velsmid, Ferdinando Urbano, Kevin Kett, Craig Thompson and Marsel Huribal; and Kathy Sullivan.
Arrangements: The funeral will be held on Friday at 9:30 a.m. from the Chase Parkway Memorial/The Albini Family Funeral Home, 430 Chase Parkway, Waterbury to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church for a Mass at 10:30 a.m. Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery. Calling hours will be held Thursday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the funeral home.
Donations may be made in Diana's name to the Waterbury Hospital Development Office, 64 Robbins St., Waterbury, CT 06708. Please indicate that the donation is for the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Department.

This paper was submitted for "Urban Planning C184: Looking at Los Angeles" with Professor Jackie Leavitt in Spring 2011.
What started as a worry about artists and collectors fleeing to New York transformed the contemporary art scene in Los Angeles and set the city on the path to become a global city. I use global city as opposed to world city, for its subtle nuances as Saskia Sassen has noted. Global cities incorporate more of a networked hub of activity than just an insular hub of activity, as a world city is understood to be.

September is shaping up to be a delicious one in Austin. The start of autumn promises to bring seasonal produce like apples and pumpkins to the farmers markets, while hopefully cooling temperatures makes visiting them more comfortable. There are several other events around town whetting appetites.
The Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, will be at the Bass Concert Hall on Thursday in conversation with Texas Monthly Executive Editor Patricia Sharpe. Austinites will also welcome the city's first Trader Joe's location later this month when the Rollingwood store opens its doors on the 20th. Diners will have to wait another month until Austin Restaurant Week in October, however.
Outside of fine dining restaurants, foodies can also find plenty to satisfy their palates this month at BookPeople. The local bookstore has a five-course meal of literary options for readers to satisfy their craving, from celebrity author events to staff picks and celebrations of local treats. Click on the list to see some of the ways BookPeople is feeding hungry book lovers this month.
September 11: Giada De Laurentiis, Recipe for Adventure!
The Food Network star is bringing her love of Italian cuisine to a series of books written for 7-11 year olds. Two siblings are transported to food capitals around the globe in Recipe for Adventure!, which so far has travelled to Naples and Paris. Tickets for the signing line are available for either hardcover or paperback.
September 13: Launch Party for "Austin Beer"
The seven female food bloggers of BitchBeer.org traced the brewing roots of the city back hundreds of years in their new book, "Austin Beer: Capitol City History on Tap", with insight into the culture around the beverage as well as the breweries pouring it out. This launch party will be held off site at Hops & Grain's Craft Brewery.
September 29: "Austin Breakfast Tacos"
If the city had an official dish, the breakfast taco might be it. Not just morning fare, "Austin Breakfast Tacos: The Story of the Most Important Taco of the Day" highlights the best purveyors of this local delicacy. And because authors Mando Rayo and Jarod Neece also blog for Taco Journalism, they know what they're talking about.
Staff Pick: "The Drunken Botanist"
Just past your plate of food is something which might be even more fascinating: your drink. Amy Stewart's latest book follows the trail from the bar all the way back to the gardens where most of of today's common alcohol originates. Embracing the weird and the wonderful is what makes this book a staff favorite.
On Shelves: Signed Cookbooks
Even after authors have left their events, the store still has some signed copies of their books on the shelves. Whether you're hungry for "Chloe's Vegan Desserts" or "Fabio's Italian Kitchen", you'll find a smorgasbord of cookbooks in a variety of cuisines, all with their author's signature. These also make great gifts for the home chef in your life.

More about Anchorsholme Park
There's a 9 hole putting course and 18 hole pitch and putt – both of which are very popular. Here, you can practise your swing and pretend you are the next Tiger Woods, no matter what you standard of play is!
Closer to the centre of the park, the neatly clipped open grass gives way to the main facilities, where you'll find the heart of the park and the cafe, park cabin, bowling greens and children's play area.
There are four tennis courts and a soft surfaced children's playground with the usual swings and climbing equipment. We bumped into Roger, with his grandson Oliver. Grandad lives just around the corner and comes here a lot to enjoy the fresh air and company of other parents.
All dogs are welcome - please clean up and respect this lovely clean space.
Anchorsholme Park is also lucky to have a Bowling and Social Club, and the club has about 150 members who enjoy the use of the two crown greens. Mark and Darren are two new members to the club, although they have been bowling for many years.
The icing on the cake for locals and visitors is the cafe which serves hot and cold drinks, food and ice creams, and of course the public toilets! You can never have too many toilets and it's nice to know where they are and there are some here!
Friends of Anchorsholme Park
A new Friends Group has been formed for Anchorsholme Park, and they are embarking on a plan for the future, to further improve the park by adding more planting and beds, plus additional facilities. You can find out more about the Friends of Anchorsholme Park here, in the section about community groups.
There are community events held throughout the year in the park, like Fun Days and tournaments for the golf, and now that the Friends Group are getting going it's fair to say that they will be holding fundraisers and such like as they get on with their programme of improvements.
Currently the Friends Group are involving the local community in growing plants to donate to the park, painting up the boat and planting it, and pulling together to make the park bloom!
So why don't you pop along and take a look at this lovely park for everyone to enjoy.

After some early morning snowfall(Philly Int'l received an inch, but to the south and east across Southern NJ there was well over a half of foot in locations; you can see the regional snowfall totals here: http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSPHI&e=201401291757) the sun was shining just after sunrise. We only reached 21 this afternoon thanks to the fresh snow pack(acting like a reflector as the sun's rays would penetrate the surface, but the snow has a high albedo and thus shot most of the rays back into the atmosphere)and a northwest wind between 10-15mph it made it feel much colder. As for a low we'll achieve that tonight with a light wind, a clear sky, and fresh snow pack as lows will dip down around 10 in Center City(which is always dumb to say because there is no official weather station there; they are at either at PHL or NE Philly Airport) whereas in the suburbs it will be in the lower and middle single digits.
Tomorrow will be sunny with a light westerly wind as highs will flirt with the freezing mark; overnight temperatures will be in the middle 20s(where they should be this time of year) and so on Friday we'll jump into the lower 40s(where we should be!) with more clouds than sunshine as a clipper systems passes by with no precipitation.
For the weekend the clipper will stall across the Delmarva, but then travel northward on Saturday as a warm front; along the front will be a low pressure area and will provide rain late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The good news is that temperatures on both days will be on either side of 50 so this will ensure it's all RAIN. The rain should get out of here by late Sunday afternoon so there shouldn't be any worries if you have any Superbowl parties planned to go to.
Behind that system it once again stalls out across the Delmarva and may provide some light rain across Southern NJ and Southern DE for Monday, but otherwise it will be partly sunny with highs around 40 and lows in the middle 20s(seasonable at last after spending the last two weeks 10-20 degrees BELOW average!). On Tuesday we'll cloud back up with another system, but highs will be in the middle 40s during the day; the fun comes at night with temperatures around freezing so there could be a mixture of snow(north) and rain(south) with daytime highs on Wednesday in the upper 30s.
So that's it for now and be sure to check out the rest of the seven day forecast any time at www.scottderekwx.com/forecast.html.

The Girl Who Beat 'the Next Susan Boyle'
Want to sample a taste of Korea's raw, promising, young talent, who are clearly on a par with professional singers?
K-POP STAR, SBS-TV's popular singing contest show, boasts many such individuals, and yesterday's episode showed by far the best rivalry by pitting Park Ji-min against Lee Ha-e, the two teenage girls considered to be the show's strongest contestants.
Park Ji-min even garnered attention from outside the country after she performed a stirring and powerful rendition of Adel's "Rolling in the Deep" last month, which prompted Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher to proclaim her singing "amazing" in his Twitter message.
Meanwhile, Lee Ha-e has been also in the spotlight throughout the contest with her soulful voice and confident manner. Her unique style has gone down a storm, especially with Park Jin-young, a singer-songwriter himself who runs JYP Entertainment, one of the country's most powerful management agencies.
Park Ji-min first took to the stage, belting out a flawless version of "I Love You," a Korean pop from the early 1990s, boasting a clear ringing voice and amazing control over high-pitched tones.
But even the impeccable Ms. Park couldn't beat "soulful girl" Ms. Lee, who showed off an uncanny ability to immediately overwhelm the three judges and other contestants as soon as she started singing "Mercy" by Duffy. After her performance, the judges shook their heads in disbelief.
"It's the end," exclaimed BoA, a popular K-pop idol herself and one of the three judges, after Ms. Lee's performance. She added that she was so sure that the two would compete against each other on the final stage.
While both girls performed with aplomb, the judges sided with Lee Ha-e, who they said was smarter in delivering her performance by showing a good sense of dynamics.
As a result, Ms. Lee becomes the latest finalist to perform live in a few weeks, while Ms. Park will have to compete again in a consolation match to join the finalists.
The viewing rate soared to 19.3%, a record high for the program and the second most-viewed program at the time slot, according to AGB Nielsen.

Red Raiders Open Spring Slate With Wayland Baptist
The Red Raiders host Wayland Baptist at 5:30 p.m. Friday evening in the United Spirit Arena.
March 27, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech volleyball program will open its spring slate Friday evening when the Red Raiders host Wayland Baptist in a 5:30 p.m. first serve at the United Spirit Arena.
The Red Raiders head into their spring season with 13 letterwinners returning from the 2013 season, including most of their starting lineup in libero Rachel Brummitt, outside hitters Breeann David, Jenna Allen and Meghan Stacy, setter Emily Ruetter along with middle blocker Mikia Mills.
Wayland Baptist, meanwhile, is also opening its spring schedule after a compiling a 36-7 record a year ago where the Pioneers ended the 2013 season ranked fourth nationally after advancing to the NAIA Final Four.
The match coincides with a free kids clinic that will begin at 4 p.m. and a pre-match tailgate that will be held on the United Spirit Arena concourse in Club Red beginning at 4:30 p.m.

Memento Mori began as an independent study while the developer was studying graphic design at the University of Kansas. It was designed as a face that would be able to imitate Ancient Roman carvings, but without the feeling of "near perfect" quality that the computer renders. For this, I designed four different but subtle versions of each letterform, which are accessible from the same font to achieve a hand made look. Most people will hardly notice the differences between the letters, but closer examination will reveal the differences: slant, weight, stress, serifs, and widths. There are no lowercase (as the Romans more...

Pfizer's Disappointing Performance Could Increase Pressure to Split the Company
The world's biggest drugmaker missed analyst estimates, putting more pressure on the company to split.
The Numbers: Pfizer
(NYSE:PFE) missed analyst profit and sales estimates, reporting earnings of $2.75 billion on revenue of $13.5 billion. Shares of the world's biggest drugmaker were down about 3% in morning trading.
What's Interesting:
Although Pfizer lost its exclusive rights to its blockbuster cholesterol-reducing drug Lipitor in 2011, investors still felt positive about Pfizer. New products and optimism for experimental drugs had caused Pfizer shares to rise more than 20% so far this year. But Pfizer suggested those hopes were misplaced and the company cut its earnings forecast for the rest of the year. Even emerging markets, which had been hot for Pfizer and other drugmakers, rose only by 5% in the first quarter, compared to 17% growth in the previous quarter.
The Takeaway:
The disappointing earnings results could put more pressure on Pfizer to break up to increase the value of its stock. Last year, Pfizer got rid of its animal health and infant nutrition businesses, making the company more of a pure play in the pharmaceutical business. Separating into a generics unit and brand-name drug business could make Pfizer even more focused. In January, Pfizer CEO Ian Read said the company is considering a breakup but to not expect a decision any time soon. If Pfizer shares keep lagging, he may have to speed up his timetable.

So Cruel: Orangutans Forced to Kickbox
Sick atheist depravity strikes again. The cult of atheism believes in evolution. They think a primitive human male had sexualized relations with a female monkey!
Now they have gone over the line and are abusing orangutans to further their Satanic agenda. Behold their evil:
These evolutionists are now using kickboxing to make us believe in their fake science. They have forced these monkeys to become gladiators and engage in a battle to the death!
What's even more sick is they have a woman one dolled up in a dress to fight and show her depravity in carnal battle. I could only wish this were 2,000 years ago because I would show up to this atheist coliseum and boo them as I threw stones at all sinners!
Animals are the creation of God and it is the responsibility of man to care for nature. It is our duty to protect and cherish all the lesser creatures and people of Earth for their own good, but we see these lowlifes don't even have such decency.
I thought it couldn't get any lower than how the Mexicans bullfight cows or make roosters battle one another. Now we see their sickness has reached all new levels.
I pray these monkeys give them great plague for what they have done because it is what atheists deserve for resorting to such things to trick kids to believe in evolution.

MATT LEQUIA, formerly of Champion, is the newest trooper at the Michigan State Police Wakefield Post. Lequia graduated with 90 other recruits from the 124th Michigan State Police Trooper Recruit School in March in Lansing.
WAKEFIELD — According to Michigan State Police Trooper Matt Lequia, of the Wakefield Post, it all started for him as an Upper Peninsula boy in middle school.
"I did a ride-along with a trooper and I got a good taste of what it was like," Lequia, formerly of Champion, said.
Lequia is a trooper at the Wakefield Post after graduating from the 124th Michigan State Police Trooper Recruit School in March in Lansing, along with 90 other recruits.
"I am really excited," Lequia said. "I am happy to be in the Upper Peninsula and close to home."
According to Lequia, his hometown and his new home are "similar, however I really haven't had a chance to explore the area yet."
His education includes a degree in criminal justice from the Northern Regional Police Academy and a bachelor's degree from Northern Michigan University at Marquette in criminal justice with a minor in emergency medical services. He also worked in law enforcement in Chocolay Township in Marquette County.
He doesn't have a lot of experience with the western end of the U.P. "My only experience is camping at Lake Gogebic, however I am really happy to be here. I love the U.P."

Bonnie Matthews knows a thing or two about reinventing one's self. A noted children's books illustrator who lost about 130 pounds on her own (no surgery), she's been a guest and now the "Wellness Warrior" blogger for the nationally syndicated "DR OZ" TV show, as well as a noted diet guru and burgeoning motivational speaker. Bonnie is also author of a Freekeh grain cookbook ("The Freekeh Cookbook") and informs me that she now two new books in the works looking at topics like grilling and gluten-free foods.
Bonnie also knows a thing or two about promotion, building a strong brand through both traditional and social media. How does she do it? Let's find out…
Q: How would you describe your success in promoting your freekeh cookbook? How did you use this success to help expand your brand and your efforts to develop more cookbooks?
Marketing budgets for book publishers has nearly dried up - so publishers are relying heavily on what their authors can do to help promote and in this case even help pre-sell the books. Skyhorse Publishing, who's commissioned me to write and photograph the first book, "The Freekeh Cookbook," saw that I had a stronghold on Facebook and shared in the making of the first book with my fans. Because of this, that was a huge coo for their sales team to see good pre-order numbers; and to see that retail store buyers were very interested. I think too, since they know I'm a good partner in promoting the work on social media platforms such as Pinterest, Facebook and also just in the community doing local tv cooking segments - they see me as a good strategic partner to spearhead their new series "The Badass Cookbook Series." I think also with the fact that I'm sort of self taught, authentic renegade healthy cook; I'm sort of the anti chef if you will; and approach food as something to enjoy and also use as a tool for healthy living. They see this as a continuing trend. Hopefully with "The Badass Grilling Secrets" book I'll be able to bring a healthy slant and a feminine side to the grilling scene that's not been seen much! No bacon here, Dan! But I assure you it will be yummy!
Q: I notice you post on FACEBOOK quite often re: diet and fitness. How does your use of social media blend with the "traditional" to help you build your brand and sell your product?
There's a lot of great fitness trainers out there promoting exercise and tons of awesome folks promoting various types of dieting - like raw food diets, or limiting certain types of food, or vegan, or the latest juice craze. All have their place, but for me –
someone who's lost over 100 lbs not by dieting; but by making mindful shifts with healthier food choices and figuring out a way to still have a 40 hour a week job and find time to work out – I'm just your average woman. And I think that has merit and clout with a lot of readers on Facebook. Some folks who are struggling to drop 30, 50 or even 100 lbs may be very turned off by a fitness guru who's Facebook page is covered with photos of herself in a bikini drinking a weight loss shake for instance. I think that a lot of Facebook followers like my approach to weight loss and healthy living because I'm the underdog like them. I don't deny myself the pleasure of food - I allow myself to enjoy it; and welcome a way to prepare it and share it for long term healthy living - not for some 30 day fast fix diet to drop 8 lbs. And I think sharing my setbacks in my own health, with a few pounds gained here and there from not having my head on straight or from injuries..that is real life stuff that folks can appreciate. They see I'm real - like them. That I'm not some "skinny mini" but that "Health" comes in all ages, sizes and being fit and healthy doesn't' always mean wearing a bikini. Being authentic is key in this whole social media blend I believe. The second I start trying to "sell" a weight loss shake, I will lose all my readers; because they know that is not what I believe in! I believe in whole clean foods and preparing simple meals to make healthy changes for life. That ain't no pill or shake!
Q: You're pretty much a "one woman band" when it comes to your promotion and marketing. What's that like, taking that on, on your own, and what have you learned?
I started my Facebook page: Bonnie On Oz (Matthews) because the producers at The Dr. Oz Show saw that folks would want to be able to talk with me - so they made a link from my Oz blog on their site to my Facebook page. I really didn't know exactly how it was going to unfold - but it's been a really amazing community of sharing about exercise, fun, food and health in general - with a few of my cats thrown in to keep it real and playful! I have learned a lot in the process; like people seem to really like my photographs of what I'm preparing or making for a meal. They seem to really love when I share the recipes; and quite often later that day or the next day, low and behold a Facebook friend will post their photo of them making it - and tag me in the post! To me that is powerful! to actually have them deliberately going to the store to make a healthy recipe that I've shared - that's huge. Another thing that is super powerful is when I share a specific workout that I've done; and others will follow up and share that they too have tried it! Like intervals on atreadmill for example. It's incredible - that just through being authentic; and sharing; has an impact on people's lives. One of my Facebook friends has lost over 100 lbs simply doing some mindful shifts and lifestyle changes that she's embraced from my Facebook page along with some other things. It's awesome to see folks are getting healthy out there! That makes it all worthwhile! And when I share their before and after photos of their weight loss successes; that really resonates with people and encourages them to know that health is achievable and that others are doing it!
Q: What's next for you? Do you have any thoughts regarding on how you'd like to expand your brand and gain more notoriety as a fitness/diet expert and author?
The next six months I'll be developing the recipes and photos for the two new books that will be released in 2015. But my goal now is to create a new health/everyday/food blog that will be an extention of my Facebook community; a hub that will house easy to call up recipes; and also a place to further engage the readers in the process of the behind the scenes "How to" of the creating of the recipes/photos for the 2 new books. I'm also hoping to be able to create some fun very casual "how to" cooking videos there so that folks at home can really start following some recipes way before the books even come out - let them have "ownership" of the content in some way as it unfolds.
Since moving to California a few months ago, I've aligned with the Live Fit Revolution (LFR), a 501c3 nonprofit that has free healthy lifestyle educational tools. My neighbor and friend Alysia Gadson, who's co-founder of LFR and I are developing some projects behind the scenes that we're hoping to be able to roll out and announce later this year! This new project will allow us to get out into communities nationwide and share up front and personal about how to cook, and how to make fitness a part of their lives. It's great to have a presence in cyberspace; but to be able to bring these tools to the public in person it makes it even more tangible. By videotaping some of these events and sharing them afterwards on social media; their reach and impact will be even higher than the initial event. I believe that the more people see "real" people in the community working out or discovering how to make a few healthy meals and share them with their family for the first time - that's got a lot of impact vs seeing some famous chef on a tv set preparing something that seems impossible for the typical American dinner table. There's a lot to be done, Dan, but I'm a hard worker with a lot of heart and determination….if this all pans out; I'm hoping that the books are just the vehicle to help me get more media attention and further my message of promoting healthy lifestyles…I have lots I want to do well beyond the books! I want to get America moving!
(note: Livefitrevolution.org has a free online nutrition program that is doctor approved. Once you create a free account, on the site; you will be able to unlock loads of cooking video content, recipes, workout videos and much more!)

This Sunday is Mother's Day and if you have put off the decision of how and what to do for this holiday it's officially late. Here is an idea - go make this holiday special right now. Many of our mothers are gone and we will either ignore the day or celebrate it with a spouse or child for the holiday. Here is a thought why not take a few flowers to a skilled nursing facility for the people residing there. You do not have to buy out a store, just purchase some carnations and a few of fern leaves.
This year as we think of our loss, there are those who will not have people coming to see them; and we can make a difference. Although this will not replace the feelings of having our own mother present, we will have a very good feeling in our heart for this act of kindness. This is the gesture of total kindness. In many of the cases we don't know these wonderful people or the circumstances, but what we do know is at this moment they are alone.
If we are the child of a person with dementia and wanting to do something, however have no idea of what; let's think of the emotion behind the gift. Thank about what was especially fun or made her feel important in the past, then do that again. If our mother is past the buying of a gift, not understanding and many times not coming out of the shell to receive any gift; think back to the times when we were smaller and we gave Mom a picture or homemade gift. Do this again. It may seem childish or ridiculous to give a person in their 80's a homemade gift from a child of 60 years old; however this is the gift that will make a difference.
The most important thing we can do is to spend some time with our Mother. Even if we find this an exercise in futility, do it anyway. We will find as we spend the next few months we can look back on this day and never be sorry, we did our best.

I'm usually suspicious of wineries that have massive, Tuscan inspired architectural tasting rooms perched on the brink of prime real estate in the valley. Silverado Vineyards is certainly one of those, occupying one of the most picturesque spots along the east side of the valley off of the Silverado trail. I've driven by many times and thought, "wow, if they're spending all that money and attention on their grounds, how much are they really paying attention to the wine?" Well, I'm not going to say that they're creating cult quality wines, but I have to admit that they make a competent, if not very good, Claret-style Cabernet.
Tasting Notes:
Brilliant dark red in the glass, the wine has a penetrating nose of dark black plum and cherry with a hint of woodsmoke, as if you were gazing into a deep dark well of fruit where someone has just extinguished a burning branch of willow. The mouthfeel is smooth and clean with lucious blueberry and black cherry flavors tinged with dark chocolate notes. The wine was not the intense dark sumptiousness that marks the best Napa cabs, but it was not trying to be. Overall an excellent effort, especially for the price.
Food Pairing:
I had mine with a roast duck in mandarin-rasberry sauce with steamed baby bok choy and stir fried rice noodles in sesame oil. This wine would go well with other roasted poultry, especially if you're like me and tend to drink reds with dishes that traditionally call for lighter, if not white, wines. Of course, a nice filet mignon would do perfectly well.
Overall Score: 8
How Much?: approx $35
The wine is not yet available for sale in the vineyard's online shop but doubtless will be soon.
