Every now and then I think about going out and finding a job. Or, as I have the luxury to wait a few years and ponder this question, what is it I REALLY want to do once the kids are in school? Here in Mexico my options are pretty limited. Teaching English is pretty much the only option. I like kids, often the younger the better. So as I continued down this train of thought I stumbled upon the idea of "English Daycare"! Hmmm . . . this has possibilities.
However, offering daycare services wouldn't bring in much money. A lady down the street was advertising daycare for about $125 a week. That's in pesos, people. Maybe $10 bucks a week. The daycare behind my house offers FREE daycare (they're co-sponsored by a church). Obviously, because I'd be speaking to the kids in English, I could certainly charge more. But would it really be enough money to be worth my time?
Then I thought about play dates or English Gymboree or something like that. Therefore, I wouldn't be tied to the long hours of daycare and could quite likely bring in about the same amount of money. But who would really pay me to spend 3 or 4 hours a week with their kid so I could talk to them in English?
It turns out, there is a market for this! (And not just way out north where all the richies live.)
The man who owns my tortilla store stopped me the other day and asked me how young is too young to learn English. "The earlier the better!" I replied. It turns out that his daughter is 8 months old. I"m interested, he's interested (and willing to pay me), so we'll work something out.
Or perhaps we'll simply exchange services, as I've been wondering how much Spanish Joey really understands. Maybe in exchange for English "lessons" for tortilla store man's daughter, I'll send my son over to his house a few hours a week so they can fill his head with Spanish.
And if others are interested, perhaps we'll grow from there!
Oooo--the possibilities!

The nation is remembering the 26/11 Mumbai attack, in which 166 people were killed, on its eight anniversary on Saturday.
Various events are being held across the country, especially in Mumbai, to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the horrific attack.
Mumbai (Bombay) attacks were a series of attacks that took place in November 2008, when 10 members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, an Islamic militant organisation based in Pakistan, carried out a series of 12 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks lasting four days across Mumbai.
The attacks lasted four days killing 166 people and injuring over 300.Various events are being organised in Mumbai on Saturday to pay tribute to the victims of 26/11.

Wolverines tie single-season win record
GROVE CITY, Pa. -- The Grove City College baseball team earned its College record-tying 24th win of the 2006 season Monday afternoon as the Wolverines earned a 5-3 home win over NAIA member Geneva at College Field. Grove City (24-10) tied the 1999 squad, which went 24-13, for the most wins in program history.
The victory is also Grove City's first over Geneva since a 10-9 win in 1983.
Grove City trailed 2-1 entering the bottom of the seventh but took the lead for good with a four-run outburst. A squeeze bunt by sophomore center field Jon Coyne (Solon, Ohio/Solon) scored pinch runner Steve Zimora (Cobleskill, N.Y./Richmondville) with the tying run.
A run-scoring groundout from sophomore third baseman Bryan Pierrot (Wadsworth, Ohio/Wadsworth) gave Grove City a 3-2 lead while senior shortstop Mike Ritter (Moon Township, Pa./Moon) followed with a two-run single that scored Coyne and junior left fielder Chris Schwamberger (Mansfield, Ohio/Madison).
Pierrot homered in the first to give Grove City an early 1-0 lead. Sophomore catcher Ray Mertz (Glenshaw, Pa./Shaler) went 2-for-4 in the win.
Senior reliever Mike Kennedy (Chagrin Falls, Ohio/Chagrin Falls) pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings to earn the victory. Kennedy is now 2-3. Junior fireman Justin Miller (Harrisburg, Pa./Susquehanna Township) picked up his fifth save by recording the final five outs of the game. Miller struck out the side in the ninth and tied his own single-season school record with five saves.
Junior Eric Hull (Chagrin Falls, Ohio/Chagrin Falls) started and allowed two runs in two innings. Freshman Zach Hillegas (Bridgeport, W. Va./Bridgeport) pitched one scoreless inning of relief, followed by two scoreless frames from junior Neil Hoagland (Saxonburg, Pa./Knoch). Sophomore Andy Lightholder (Canonsburg, Pa./Canon-McMillan) and junior Jarrett Wiggers (Panama, N.Y./Panama Central) combined for one hitless inning.
Grove City will host Pitt-Greensburg Wednesday afternoon in a non-conference doubleheader at 1 p.m. It is Grove City's regular-season finale before the Presidents' Athletic Conference Championship Tournament May 11-13.

Haymarket Publishing
Redevelopment of key London sites.
Beacon was appointed by Haymarket Properties in 2011 to work with the tp bennett-led design team on redevelopment of two sites in a conservation area in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The Bute/Wolverton Gardens site was formerly the Kennedy Institute for Rheumatology and was the first research institute in the world dedicated wholly to the search for the causes and cures of rheumatic diseases.
The former Institute building and a modern office block were proposed for demolition to be replaced by two residential apartment blocks. Different architectural approaches have been taken to the two buildings to reflect the characteristics of the two frontages.
The other Haymarket site is King's House on Hammersmith Road. This 1960s office building stands on the site of the King's Theatre which was opened in 1902 (demolished in 1963) and was designed by WGR Sprague (1863-1933) – designer of many theatres and music halls, including the Aldwych Theatre.
King's House is to be demolished and replaced with a similarly scaled modern office block which seeks to respect both the vast scale of the adjoining Latymer Court (in 1934 the largest single block of flats in Europe) and the modest scale of nearby traditional buildings.
Both pairs of planning and conservation area consent applications were approved in early 2013 following negotiations with the council and amendments.

Ventral surface only slightly paler than rest of body. In preservative. Dorsal coloration becoming greyish to bluish grey; saddles and bars remaining dark, brown to reddish-brown (ginger), strongly demarcated from rest of body; contrast of similar tones on dorsal, caudal, and upper surfaces of pectoral and pelvic fins; mouth white; nasal barbel darker dorsally than ventrally. Ventral surface whitish with dark grey blotches; blotches less dense in paratypes, greyish areas concentrated to lip margins, edge of head, and on pectoral and pelvic fins; tail more uniformly dark than trunk; claspers grey.
Size. This species was first reported by Hutchins and Thompson (1983) and was thought to reach about 152 cm TL. Others have claimed that it matures by 85 cm TL (Last and Stevens, 1994) and attains about 200 cm TL (Hutchins and Swainston, 1986, Compagno, 2001). Unpublished data by one of us (Chidlow) is based on 696 specimens, including mature males. The largest individual observed measured 149 cm TL confirming the initial reports of a smaller maximum size for O. hutchinsi . However, males mature at a slightly larger size than suggested by earlier reports (i.e. about 111 cm TL rather than 85 cm TL). The mature male holotype had a girth of 625 mm and weighed 15 kg. Young are born at 22-26 cm TL (mean 24.1 cm TL based on 40 specimens).
Etymology. Named in honour of Dr Barry Hutchins (curator of fishes at the Western Australian Museum, Perth) who has dedicated a lifetime to the taxonomy of the rich fish fauna of Western Australia. Dr Hutchins first reported this species as an undescribed taxon more than 20 years ago.
Common name. Western Wobbegong.
Distribution. Inshore continental shelf off Western Australia from Groper Bluff (west of Bremer Bay) to Coral Bay (near North West Cape). Types known from 0.1-79 m but additional material collected in depths of 9-106 m.
Comparisons. One of the most distinctive members of the genus Orectolobus based on its colour pattern and dermal lobe morphology, Orectolobus hutchinsi is larger than most wobbegong species. It has a distinctive yellowish brown upper body coloration with welldefined, darker brown saddles containing paler markings (most congeners have stronger and more complex colour patterns) that lacks whitish rings and blotches (unlike O. ornatus and O. maculatus ). Of the wobbegongs, only Sutorectus tentaculatus and Orectolobus wardi ZBK have poorly developed lobes on the head similar to those of O. hutchinsi . In these species the lobes are simple, and typically reduced in size or rudimentary (rather than mostly lobe-like and well-developed). However, unlike O. hutchinsi , they have a simple nasal barbel (rather than possessing a barbel with an additional, flattened, sub-basal lobe). Adults of Orectolobus hutchinsi also lack rows of warty tubercles along the back which are considered to be diagnostic of S. tentaculatus . Postnatal juveniles of O. hutchinsi have weakly developed rows of dorsal tubercles that become obscure in late juveniles and absent in adults.
Wobbegongs have other unique characters -the morphometrics of the lobe groups on the head appear to be important for distinguishing species. The shapes of lobes in each group, and the distance across the preorbital lobe group in relation to the base widths of both postspiracular groups and their interspaces, are unique to O. hutchinsi . These data should be obtained routinely when treating other members of this family.

In response to "Israel's Use-Abuse-of Detention," editorial, Sept. 18:
Your editorial recommends that Israel should end the use of extralegal detention in the occupied territories. All factions in Israel would like to do just that. However, Israel has been in a state of war, not of its choosing, for 40 years. It has not only the right, but the obligation, to take steps for its survival. Israel opts for administrative detention rather than the manner of Jordan's dealing with an uprising, i.e., the Black September uprising where thousands were brutally killed.
If The Times would like to see the administrative abuses ended, it might recommend that the Palestinian people select a leadership who will: recognize Israel; renounce terrorism; agree to enter into direct negotiations with Israel.
The primary obstacle to the Palestinian aspirations is Palestinian rejectionism.

The power of Social Media Marketing can really change your world by opening new doors of opportunity.
They are great people in general, their profile say an entirely different thing. People looking to connect with someone on a business level, first make sure that profile is presentable before making contact to target audience. Do not have your main profile picture. Another thing is make sure the information displayed on your profile is nothing personal that you would not want your known people to see. Keep in mind; your new contacts do not know you personally, so it will be hard to tell what may be sarcasm. Try to keep your profile as neat as possible and precise. If you would like to have a separate business account from your personal account, this is fine just make sure your personal account is set to private since the two can easily be identified.
Advertising the movie before release with a trailer is nothing but your profile to the people around you. Seeing your profile they should know that there is something unique in this and need to be in touch further for any purpose.
How to Build a Popular Social Media Profile :
4 Helpful Characteristics :
1. Strong Profile Visibility (Noticeable) :
Developing Brand Recognition and Brand Building. Every business wants to be considered "the best of breed" in their respective areas of industries. They want to attract customers that will be brand loyal. Branding is the tipping point between immediate identification and recognition, emotional connection.
BRAND – 5 lettered to get enough reputation.
2. Active (Participation, Sharing and Involvement) : Maintaining a continuous presence is important.
3. Effective Communication (Message, Announcement and Statement) : Conversations are Important.
4. Provide value above all (Gaining Trust and Attention) :
To be successful, people have to put their trust in your Business, so it's important to make sure your Business website reflects your company in the correct way. Creatively get the attention of the end user.

The University of Utah's Department of Theatre is proud to present You Never Can Tell by George Bernard Shaw, directed by Alexandra Harbold, You Never Can Tell is clever and comical, one of Shaw's earliest works that's as relevant as ever.
Mrs. Clandon, a world-famous feminist author and lecturer, returns to a seaside resort after years abroad, bringing along her daughter and disciple Gloria, and her two talkative twins, Dolly and Philip. Through a series of highly-improbable plot twists involving dentistry, lawyers, landlords, and a perfect waiter named Walter, identities are confused, ideals are challenged, and mischief is afoot. What could possibly happen? As a wise waiter continuously, and hilariously observes, "You never can tell!"
Director Alexandra Harbold is no stranger to SLC audiences. She recently directed Ion a rule-breaking Greek tragedy with a 1950s spin, also abounding in mistaken identities. She directed the celebrated world premiere production of Climbing with Tigers at Salt Lake Acting Company in collaboration with Flying Bobcat Theatrical Laboratory and the Red Fred Project in 2016. She has brought her exceptional directing skills to this production by flawlessly mixing matters of society, family dynamics, and women's rights all in this witty performance. The timing of this production couldn't be better.
With marital chaos, entwined love, and doubtful dentistry, the play's carefree tone is another of Shaw's brilliantly observed social treatises. This time in the guise of a light comedy, You Never Can Tell is both elegant and entertaining.
Dates and Times
Previews Nov. 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. You Never Can Tell runs Nov. 10, 12, 16, 17, 18, and 19 at 7:30 p.m. with matinees on Nov. 12, 18, and 19 at 2:00 p.m

Women Build is a special program that supports the efforts of Habitat for Humanity to eliminate substandard housing. It is a true empowerment program which reaches across boundaries of gender, race, and class. The program brings together women from all walks of life to address the housing crisis facing millions of women and children worldwide. Women Build empowers women to take action against poverty housing conditions.
Women Build volunteers have the opportunity to participate in training sessions to learn various building skills before coming to an actual Habitat build site. Trained volunteers and staff provide onsite instruction and supervision to all volunteers.
In 2015, we held our first Women Build. Thanks for the Rotary and Lowe's for joining us at the construction site. We had 2 build days and over 20+ women volunteering! They worked on installing siding, painting, and building decks.
If you are interested in being participating in a Women Build, please contact Amanda, or at 603-433-9555. Our next Women Build will be on April 28, 2016!!

It's been a long, rough week, but with so many sprinklings of good and happy things amidst all the tough stuff. I am still definitely glad it's Friday. And I'm glad I managed to find time to compile the Friday Five for you this week. Enjoy. <3
Earlier this week, Gena sneak-peeked this on her Instagram letting us knew it'd be on the blog soon, and I could.not.wait for her to post it! The sound of roasted carrots and hummus sounded absolutely divine to me. And it's so autumn-appropriately orange!
I appreciate that this article from the Times about urban farming provides a foundation to view it through an intersectional framework alongside race, gender, and class. I think the (male) writer fails to bring that into fruition at times, but he's attempting to challenge essentialist notions of "women's work," when he asks, ""if urban ag work comes to be seen as women's work, what will that mean for the movement's farming model, mission and pay?" I was particularly interested in learning more about Karen Washington who "has been observing the community garden scene for more than 25 years from her plot in the Garden of Happiness, a couple of blocks from the Bronx Zoo. She also organizes the Black Urban Growersconference and a long list of other food and neighborhood initiatives." As one of the astute commenters wrote, "Female farmers are a clear fact in urban and societally-focused ag. The real issue is, what will we harvest from these seeds of change?"
Our Streets, Our Selves: Tips for Post-Harassment Self-Care
This article from Autostraddle is so important. Harassment of any kind seeps into our insides, and we carry that trauma in the deepest parts of our muscles and bones. Author July Westhale writes "Fighting back isn't always a safe option, nor an option for everyone, so the often radical-seeming idea of self-care is what is currently available to us." She then proceeds to provide powerful ideas for practicing self-care after harassment incidents, including ideas on how to reconnect with your body and reach out for support.
I teach about social media and its cultural implications, so this article is hitting a lot of my nerdy buttons. The thorough and savvy piece from The Hairpin provides an overview of the newest internet meme: "snackwave." This phenomenon refers to women and teenage girls expressing obsession with "bad-for-you" snack foods. The authors clarify, "It's important to note that snackwave is different from, say, a bunch of girls eating snacks and tweeting about them. Snackwave is defined by exaggeration and extremism. You don't just eat cheeseburgers. You wear a shirt covered in them." The voice of the snackwaver alters between "confident and self-depricating"—think of someone labeling a picture of them eating pizza with both: "#pizzaslut" and "#dyingalone" (the former being a proud proclamation, the latter a jokey aside about being pathetic). Here's where it starts to get interesting: this trend exists almost exclusively in connection to thin women. The article traces it's pop cultural roots (e.g. Liz Lemon, Rory Gilmore); provides real life examples from Twitter; images of the gazillion ironic (or not, I guess…?) shirts from places like Urban Outfitters that are filled with images of pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs; and points to everyones favorite "cool girl" Jennifer Lawrence, who is lauded for talking about french fries on the red carpet.
Okay, so first I'm nerding out thinking about the whole, "What does this say that it's only thin (usually white, but not exclusively) women who can do this?" Next question: Is the article right that this is a backlash against health food culture? The authors, write, "Organic farming, kale salads, and whatever other artisanal green shit young people like are often considered standard fare for millennials. Grease-laden microwavables and fast food are the quirkier go-to choice. Snackwave will not fuck with your Mason jar of pickled veggies." Okay, okay, so if the new hipster trend is junk food, what does this mean for health food movements? What does the trendiness of things like bacon and pizza mean for the vegan movement? And what the fuck is this doing to young women's relationship with food and their bodies? Is this a good thing? The lack of restriction and playful indulgence? Is this a terrible thing? Throwing out any attention to health (I know, it's a construct, but you know what I mean) with the mainstream (is it?) bathwater? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Stuff from the Week that Made Me Happy
brisk fall mornings; golden-leaf sunlight; a really inspiring event about Ferguson, racism, and police accountability on my campus; good news from my mom—she's the best and things are looking up!; all the music that makes me feel all the autumn feelings (like this and this and this and this); yoga, obvs; in particular, a yoga workshop about making our classes more theme-centric (more than just asana, yeah!); chatting with long-distance friends who totally get it; kitten cuddles; yoga teacher party that included many wine-tipsy attempts at peacock pose (do not try that combination at home!); delicious homemade soup for dinner; understanding that self-care and healing is a lot of work and the realization that i am strong enough to do it; new shoes and new makeup (thanks, first paycheck since June!); the powerful elixir that is lemon water in the morning; New England walks, and spotting all the eager orange leaves…
What made you happy this week? xo

Just because your vehicle is long in the gear tooth doesn't mean you should neglect repairs. Be diligent and change the oil and oil filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Continue to check the services required as delineated in your owner's manual, with particular attention to tire and brake wear. Proper maintenance will not only keep your car running well into six figures on the odometer, it could prove less expensive than a new car payment.

Chris Johnson and Nate Webb had long touchdown runs for the Coronado football team Friday in a 42-14 win against host Chaparral.
Coronado (2-0) scored on its first possession and didn't look back in winning for the second straight week to open the season.
Quarterback Kevin Lucero rushed and passed for a touchdown for the Cougars.
Next week, Coronado opens Southeast Division play against Foothill (3-0) — a step up in competition after easy wins against Chaparral and Sunrise Mountain.
"The measuring stick will be our matchup next week with Foothill," Coronado coach Lance Cooper said. "They are a well-coached team with some good players. The proof will be in the pudding against them."
Chaparral High School has seen better days.
Once among the top performing schools in the Clark County School District, Chaparral High is undergoing changes to counter dismal test scores and the lowest graduation rate in the district.
The campus located near East Flamingo Road and U.S. 95 is one of five turnaround schools not meeting the expectations outlined in No Child Left Behind.
Chaparral is now looking to clean up its reputation, touching every aspect of the school from restrooms to test scores.
Changes weren't received well by students who openly protested the cuts to faculty and the new order that banned the use of cell phones and music players during the school day.
Under stricter rules, tardy students are locked out of classrooms, bathroom breaks during class time aren't allowed and the lunch hour was pushed back to 1:40 p.m.
Superintendent Dwight Jones told students he's not settling for half successes.
"Right now, 50 percent of the kids in this school don't graduate high school. Is that acceptable to you? Think about that. Right now, some of the friends that you're with aren't going to graduate. Is that OK? That's unacceptable to me. I think you guys ought to kick all of us out."

As you know, this winter has been terribly cold for most of the country. Temperatures in the Dakotas have been particularly frigid, with temperatures going down as far as 30 below zero, without the windchill.
This has meant that many people on reservations have had difficulty heating their houses this winter, particularly the elders. Many of them ran out of propane weeks ago, and began heating their homes with their electric stoves, which caused their electric bills to skyrocket. The electric company was close to turning off the electricity for many of them. Others were on the verge of running out of propane.
One elderly couple was in particular trouble because the wife had just fallen and broken her leg and was recovering at home....at a freezing home.
On top of this, federal home heating assistance has been a victim of funding cuts, leaving tribes unable to provide real assistance, and there is a national shortage of propane, which has caused prices to skyrocket.
Last week, the Tribe appealed to Okiciyap for help because it is out of heating assistance funds.
Because of your donations, the pantry director was able to intervene with the electric and propane companies on behalf of 23 elders in Isabel, SD. Keeping the electricity on and providing them with full tanks of propane cost $3000.
Okiciyap now needs to replenish this fund it can continue to assist the elders with heating costs this winter.

"The greatest adaptation to CrossFit takes place right here: in our mind," Greg Amundson says, paraphrasing CrossFit Founder and CEO Greg Glassman.
The physical aspects of CrossFit are obvious: you have to learn how to squat, press and deadlift. But there's far more to CrossFit than barbells and box jumps. The mental aspect of high-intensity fitness is incredibly important, and weakness in the brain and heart of an athlete will… Continue Reading

Pittsburgh Steelers starting fullback Will Johnson almost didn't make the NFL.
The West Virginia University graduate missed a post-college shot at the league because of the 2011 lockout. Determined, he started training with Andy Hendel at CrossFit Charlotte in North Carolina after moving to the state with his fiancee.

A key concept Greg Amundson teaches in the CrossFit Goal Setting Course is how to use the mind to command the body.
But sometimes, says the Original Firebreather, the mind follows the body.
"When we are challenged with that negative self-talk, immediately what I want you to do is assess your posture," Amundson says at the CrossFit Experience at the 2012 Reebok CrossFit Games.

Lucy is out of Guard Rail Spirit and Blackhawks Go Girl. I introduced her to liberated quail at 10 weeks and she was scent pointing and hunting at 11 weeks. Now at 5 months she is hunting prarie grouse! Moderate range so far with a lovely forward pattern. Thanks Jim

Hi Jim. Just thought I would drop you a note to tell you how pleased I am with the performance of the puppy which I purchased from your kennel. I have had her hunting twice on a regulated shooting ground in Pennsylvania. On the first hunt I got a pheasant and three quail all pointed birds. She was 15 weeks old. On the second hunt I got a pheasant and four quail again all pointed birds. She was 16 weeks old at that time. I cant tell you how many birds she has pointed that I missed. She is a great puppy. I would highly recommend your kennel for anyone looking for a good hunting partner.

We have had our puppy for two weeks now and he looks like he is going to be a great companion, both afield and in the home. I purchased the dog as a buddy for my one year old son with the added bonus of being able to take them both hunting. This puppy (Guardrail Spirit and Blackhawks Go Girl) is everything I was looking for. He loves to play with children and I can already tell that he is boiling over with hunting spirit. I am looking forward to many years of companionship and happy hunting with our puppy from Harris Kennels. Thanks Jim.

Welcome to the new era of quantitative targeted gene and microRNA expression profiling using eBiosciences' QuantiGene Plex assays. The QuantiGene system efficiently measures up to 80 RNA targets per sample directly from a variety of sample types, effectively bypassing RNA isolation, with no cross-reactivity. By utilizing branched DNA (bDNA) signal amplification technology on Luminex xMAP beads, these assays can distinguish percentage differences in RNA copy number with a low coefficient of variation, less than 15% for the entire process. Click here for more information on the Luminex xMAP technology.
The QuantiGene workflow has also removed the reverse transcription and PCR amplification steps which eliminates any associated artifacts and enables reduced sample consumption. These assays can also directly quantify ncRNA, fusion transcripts, and DNA copy number variations. QuantiGene assays are utilized to advance research in numerous disease areas, including multiple focus areas in oncology; gastrointestinal stromal tumors, lung, pancreatic, breast, colorectal, and prostrate cancers1-8.
ORB provides cost-effective customizable QuantiGene assays to rapidly characterize mRNA and microRNA targets as standalone projects or confirmation studies following broader interrogation strategies such as RNA sequencing and gene expression and microRNA microarray. To support biomarker discovery projects, ORB's predictive modeling analyses can be used to select the best performing targets for validation using QuantiGene assays.

Happy clients make a happy designer. And this design was so much fun to do. Once M and I got started talking about the direction of her blog during our text session, I immediately knew I wanted to work with her. Her inspiration for the design... wait for it... Gone With The Wind!! YES! We totally bonded over having it as a fav movie. Vintage and classy and simple. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I had to finish up Mar's design before I could start working on it fully, but I just HAD to play with fonts and colors for M just a little to make sure we were on the same page for the feel of the design.
That dress. I so wanted my mom to make me a dress like that when I was little. It never happened, but I still dream about it. Back to the design. I pulled the colors from the dress and some gold foil texture. M said she wanted to incorporate wind somehow and I think I captured it elegantly without making it appear kitschy, with the swirly elements in the Header. Then I accented the script font with a clean sans serif and a cute handwritten font.
M wanted the Deluxe Package, so then I got to work on her pages and extra customization for the sidebar elements. I loved the gold foil paired with the kelley green, so we ran with that for the feature images. Then we worked on the content and layouts. For the sidebar I coded the email subscription and search bar to match the color scheme, and customized the popular post section to flow with the design better with the round images rather than square.
Go check out the live design at Frankly, My Dear. Keep up to date by following FMD on Bloglovin', and you can get other awesome updates on M's social media accounts.

The gig: Noritoshi Kanai, 92, is chairman of Mutual Trading Co., a distributor of Japanese foods and restaurant supplies based in downtown L.A.'s Little Tokyo. But more famously, Kanai is widely credited with introducing sushi to the U.S. more than 50 years ago. Founded in 1926 by several small retailers, Mutual Trading now provides 3,000 restaurants in the United States, and others around the world, with several thousand items such as sake and sushi knives. Kanai dedicates himself to training the next generation of company leaders, maintaining relationships with corporate suppliers and fostering ties with communities and governments.
Very risky business: Kanai didn't set out to become a sushi pioneer. After studying the export business in his native Japan, he decided to bring Japanese food to the United States for homesick transplants and their descendants. But he soon eyed a bigger market: Americans. In 1963, long before the California roll landed in supermarkets, this was "very risky." Kanai had to persuade a Little Tokyo restaurant operator to take the gamble. "Sushi is no good, American people don't like," Kanai recalled the owner protesting. Kanai pressed his case for six months before winning approval to construct a counter where customers could watch chefs slice raw cuts of fish. As curious eaters caught on, Kanai realized "unknown culture … has a future." The sushi bar he opened inside Kawafuku, a restaurant that no longer exists, was among the first in the United States.
Keeping soldiers fed: Kanai developed his culinary expertise during World War II, when he was drafted out of college and assigned to provide meals for Japanese soldiers. The war, which he said killed three-fourths of his fellow soldiers stationed in Burma, was "miserable." But the work was instructive. When the war ended, Kanai decided to go into business for himself. "I think food is the most important merchandise in human living," he said. He completed his business studies in Tokyo and joined a colleague to create the Japanese branch of Mutual Trading Co. In 1964, he came to the U.S. to help run the company. Mutual Trading now employs 300 people with operations in several cities.
No more imitations: One of Kanai's first exports to the U.S., a Japanese biscuit, almost dashed his hopes for success. "I traveled all over the United States, visited every state, and people say, 'Oh that's a very wonderful, very good, crispy and very delicious cookie,'" Kanai recalled. "At that time, I thought export is very easy." But sales dropped off within three years. Kanai realized that Taiwan and Korea had won the market by imitating the cookies. He became determined to sell a unique product that no other country could duplicate.
Culinary liaison: "In this kind of business, food is culture." That philosophy has guided Kanai's vision for the company, which he views as an ambassador of Japanese values and traditions. To maintain the integrity of Japanese cuisine abroad, Kanai opened the Sushi Institute of America, which draws more than a dozen people each year to learn the precise craft of rolling fish and rice. The school represents Mutual Trading's attempt to tackle a big challenge: training new generations to bring innovation into the company while preserving tradition.
Family bridges: After Kanai moved to Los Angeles with his wife, Fusako, and children Scott and Atsuko, he often looked to his son and daughter to bridge cultural divides, thinking, "I have to know the way to associate with American people more." Kanai asked his son to succeed him in the business, but Scott, 62, opted for dentistry. Atsuko, who is in her 50s, had earned an MBA at the USC and joined the firm. She is now vice president. "My hope is for her to … create [an] American company," Kanai said.
The next sushi: Despite Kanai's faith that raw fish would be a hit in the U.S., sushi isn't his favorite Japanese food. That distinction goes to the thin, buckwheat noodles called soba. "Sushi is good, but soba is … better" in Kanai's opinion, and he believes soba could be the next Japanese staple that Mutual Trading makes popular in his adopted country. Kanai, a wiry man whose work uniform is a suit and tie, said he doesn't know if he'll live to see that day. But he has no plans to retire. "Working is very good for me," he said. "It is proof of living."

Pro, anti-video gaming forces lawyer up, ready for fight
Effort to get referendum on ballot resisted by bar owners
By Nona Tepper
Three questions have already been submitted for the March 2018 ballot, potentially blocking — for the second time — a local group's quest to register resident opinion on video gaming.
"It's a David-and-Goliath kind of thing," said Jordan Kuehn, president of Let Forest Park Vote on Video Gaming. Bar owners "have money to hire a very skilled lawyer, as they did last time. They hired a very expensive, very skilled lawyer. We are just a handful of people. We have some money, but not that kind of money."
Let Forest Park Vote on Video Gaming, a political action committee comprising about 15 local residents, seeks to get a vote on the question, "Shall video gaming be prohibited in the village of Forest Park?" It is a binding referendum, which means that if the majority of people disapprove of the practice, video gaming would be outlawed in the village. Let Forest Park Vote collected about 3,500 petition signatures and submitted the names to the village on Dec. 18, the last day to submit items for the March 2018 ballot.
They discovered then that three advisory questions were submitted in November 2016 by Mark Hosty, a former village commissioner and former Forest Park resident who manages Healy's Westside, for the 2018 election. He also submitted three different questions at that time for the 2017 ballot, which prevented an anti-gaming referendum from being voted on. Only three questions are allowed on each ballot, according to state law.
"The only reason we circulated those six petitions is because they started going after another petition to ban something without seeing how it did," Hosty said in a recent interview. He also questioned the validity of Let Forest Park Vote's petition signatures.
Meanwhile, Let Forest Park Vote has questioned the timeliness of Hosty's upcoming questions, only one of which addresses electronic gambling. The state's 2017 local election official's handbook is vague about the time frame on submitted questions.
Still, "there's some question as to how long they can remain valid to go on to the next ballot," Kuehn said of Hosty's question, adding: It's "a matter of legal interpretation; our lawyer says those should not be on the ballot."
The Cook County Clerk must now complete a signature review of Let Forest Park Vote's names, deciding if the petitions are valid. That examination has not yet been scheduled, and the two groups will not reconvene for another hearing until after the records exam is complete. A spokesman for the county clerk said they hoped to have the signature review complete by Jan. 21.
If Let Forest Park Vote's signatures prove valid, lawyers from each side will then battle to decide whether or not Hosty's questions are timely enough to be debated on the March 2018 ballot. The Cook County Clerk said Hosty's 2016 questions — if valid — would block Let Forest Park Vote's video gaming question off the ballot. Kuehn said his group's question would then move to the November ballot, provided there's room. Kuehn said so far no one has filed questions for that ballot.
Hosty, who recently moved to River Forest, said he filed a Freedom of Information Act to the village after Let Forest Park Vote submitted their petition to get a copy of their signatures. He then entered each name and address into an excel spreadsheet and cross referenced their signatures and homes listed to see if there were duplicates.
"It wasn't a simple program to write," Hosty said. "I'm a very determined person."
He said he found at least 475 people who signed the petition at least twice, some of them four times. In a letter to the Forest Park Review editor, he said he found more than 975 signatures not registered, not at the address listed, not alive, or not listed in Forest Park. Hosty said he knows some of these people have died because he attended their funerals.
"You're not just right because you have the moral high ground," Hosty said of Let Forest Park Vote's efforts, adding: "I think those who complain about how we did it are just complaining because we did it better. We got six questions on the ballot in a day. They failed."
Let Forest Park Vote is represented by attorney Ed Mullen. James Nally is representing pro-gaming forces. Nally was hired by James Watts, owner of O'Sullivan's Public House.

Hosty is not a Forest Park resident. His bogus petitions have expired. Why do he and other bar managers and owners oppose a democratic vote on whether Forest Park residents want gambling as a regressive and minimal tax? Because their pockets get lined by it, even though paltry resources come to the village. Let the residents vote. Again. For the third time.

We did vote Hosty out of office in the last village election. And if there had been one more candidate in the race, Tom Mannix, Hosty's co-conspirator in the 2017 referenda scam, would have lost as well.

The fact that anyone would be willing to subvert the rule of law to deny any citizen of Forest Park the right to a vote, speaks volumes. They've abrogated their roles as elected officials. Vote them out.

How can someone who is not a resident of Forest Park (non-resident Hosty)submit items for we residents to vote upon?

I truly don't care if there is video gaming in FP or not. I do care about the fact that it seems that bar owners are working to subvert the will of the people. Submitting BS questions with the intent of keeping the real question off the ballot is slimy at best, and outright crooked at worst. If the question ever makes it to the ballot, I will absolutely vote for no video gaming.
