This summer FOX launched a new talk show pilot, 'The Real' featuring five outspoken, young, and diverse women that don't hold back.
'The Real' is led by five bold and diverse hosts -- Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon, Jeannie Mai and Tamera Mowry-Housley. These women reflect the home audience and unapologetically say what women are actually thinking. Their unique perspectives are brought to life through their candid conversations about topics ranging from their own personal lives to the news of the day to beauty, fashion and relationships.
These women are all going through varied life experiences, including new motherhood, new marriages, dating or singledom, that relate to every woman's own trials and tribulations. Unlike other talk shows, each of the five hosts is admittedly a "work in progress" and fearlessly invites the home audience into their lives. Their fresh points of view, youthful energy and passion will turn the traditional talk show on its head.
'The Real' airs weekdays this summer right here on FOX 11, at 1pm.

Ozone: The Facts
The TCEQ uses sound scientific research to reduce ozone and, as a result, has achieved decreases in ozone concentrations statewide. In fact, from 2000 to 2010, ozone levels across Texas decreased by 27 percent. By comparison, the rest of the nation averaged only a 14 percent decrease in ozone levels over the same period. Texas has also devoted more funds to air quality research during the past decade than any other state in the country, which has led to the dramatic decrease in ozone concentrations. The state has sponsored two major field studies-- the Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS) 2000 and Texas Air Quality Study II (TexAQS II).
Sound science and targeted regulations have greatly reduced ozone in Texas cities and across the nation. The TCEQ's goal is sensible regulation, based on sound science, which addresses real environmental risks while complying with state and federal statutes.
What is ozone?
Ozone is a gas that is formed in the atmosphere when three atoms of oxygen combine. Ozone is found high in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level. Ozone has the same chemical structure wherever it occurs.
Stratospheric Ozone: Ozone occurs naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere—6 to 30 miles above the Earth's surface—where it forms a protective layer that shields us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
Ground-Level Ozone: Ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the air, but is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight. Emissions from industrial facilities and electric utilities, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOCs. In addition, biogenic sources (living organisms or biological processes) also release VOCs that can contribute to ground-level ozone.
What are the health effects of ground-level ozone?
Breathing relatively high levels of ground-level ozone can cause acute respiratory problems like cough and respiratory irritation and can aggravate the symptoms of asthma.
What are the conditions that lead to elevated ground-level ozone?
Ozone, typically referred to as smog, mainly forms the highest concentrations on sunny days with slow wind speeds, which allow pollutants to accumulate. Summer days in Texas can be conducive for ozone formation as high pressure systems dominate our local weather patterns, giving us clear skies and stagnant winds.
What can I do to limit ozone formation?
- Limit driving and idling; instead, car pool, combine errands, use public transportation, bike, or walk.
- Don't top off the tank when refueling your vehicle.
- Keep your vehicle maintained, including proper tire pressure.
- Maintain your yard equipment, including changing the oil and replacing air filters. Use electric lawn equipment when possible.
- Don't burn yard waste.
- Use paint and cleaning products with less or zero VOCs.
- Conserve energy.
- Refuel in late afternoon or evening.
What about indoor air quality?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has identified and characterized significant risks to public health from indoor environmental contaminants that are commonly found in homes, schools, offices, and other buildings where most Americans spend up to 90 percent of their time. Indoor levels of air pollution may be up to two to five times higher, and occasionally 100 times higher, than outdoor levels. Common indoor air contaminants include radon, tobacco smoke, mold, irritant and allergenic asthma triggers, combustion by-products and VOCs. Indoor contaminants may be of natural origin (e.g., radon, allergens and molds), may derive from products used indoors (e.g., finishes, furnishings and cleaning products) and may result from indoor processes and behaviors (e.g., smoking, use of unvented combustion sources; or cleaning, operation and maintenance procedures). Building systems (e.g., heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) also have a direct influence on the type and amount of exposure building occupants may experience from environmental contaminants indoors. For more information on indoor air quality:

What should I consider in weighing the EPA's recommendations to limit exercise and stay indoors because of outside ozone concentrations?
The World Health Organization ranks physical inactivity as a major risk factor for heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, and diabetes. Recently, it has been estimated that over 30 percent of the U.S. population is fully inactive. For children, the risks of obesity are well-documented . Given that physical exercise is important for adults and children for reasons including prevention of disease and obesity , individuals must consider those benefits when making choices about following the EPA's recommendations to limit exercise outdoors and stay indoors because of concentrations of ozone in ambient air. A personal decision to limit outdoor activities should consider weather conditions more than ozone levels. Exercise performance is compromised in the heat, and temperature should be considered when making personal choices about exercising.
What is background ozone and why it is important?
The study of background ozone is important in order to understand how much ozone is being added to an airshed by local contributions. Policy Relevant Background (PRB) ozone is currently defined as the ozone concentrations that would occur in an area in the absence of anthropogenic emissions of precursors in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. It is important in health risk and policy assessments. PRB ozone cannot be directly determined from monitored data because of the influence of local and regional precursor emissions on ozone formation in any given area. It is important for air quality planners to use modeling and other analytical tools to estimate day-specific ozone PRB levels for high ozone days as part of the regulatory development program. The PRB ozone is of concern because it can sometimes represent a substantial fraction of the observed ozone in Texas urban areas. Recent scientific studies using global-scale modeling have estimated that PRB ozone in Texas can range from 25 to 58 parts per billion.
"Background ozone" can also be described as the amount of ozone due to distant sources entering an airshed; this definition can help to differentiate between the natural and transported ozone, and the ozone produced locally. Using this definition, regional background ozone can be directly measured by monitors and can at times approach or even exceed levels that are allowed by the regulatory standard. This concept is important when understanding the contribution of a local area in consideration of control strategies.
What is an ozone forecast?
Ozone forecasts are made daily during the season for each of nine metropolitan areas in Texas. Each forecast is a simple yes or no prediction for the question: Will ozone levels reach or exceed a target level for a particular area?
TCEQ meteorologists use a set of criteria from historic meteorological data, ozone measurements, and ozone-prediction models to make these predictions. When they forecast an Ozone Action Day, the meteorologists contact the National Weather Service which then broadcasts the information across its weather wire. The agency also contacts officials in all affected areas so that local community clean-air coalitions can notify media, government, business, and industry.
The forecasts are made, in most cases, a day in advance by 2 p.m. local time and are valid for the next day. The only exception is for the Houston area, where the forecast can be updated as late as 9 a.m. local time on the same day that the forecast is in effect. The forecast target level for all areas is the U.S. EPA Air Quality Index (AQI) Level Orange, which corresponds to an 8-hour average of 76 ppb or a 1-hour average of 125 ppb. In the Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth areas, forecasts for AQI Level Red may also be issued and the target for these forecasts is an 8-hour average of 96 ppb or a 1-hour average of 165 ppb.
The ozone forecast seasons do not necessarily correspond to the "ozone seasons" defined for regulatory purposes by the EPA.
Participating Metropolitan Areas and Their Ozone forecast season Dates
Each day during ozone forecast season (roughly March through November in Texas), the TCEQ forecasts ozone levels for nine metropolitan areas:

What is the Air Quality Index?
The EPA has a scale called the Air Quality Index for rating air quality. The AQI scale is based on the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and is described in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 58, Appendix G. Each NAAQS pollutant has a separate AQI scale; an AQI rating of 100 corresponds to the concentration of the federal standard for that pollutant. Additional information about the AQI and how it can be used is available from the EPA.
How can I sign up to receive e-mail alerts and alerts on mobile devices?
You can sign up for free ozone forecast e-mail alerts for any of the nine metropolitan areas listed above through TCEQ's website.

Hail To The Chef
Whether he's in the kitchen or with a cigar, Charlie Palmer is always creating recipes and ideas for his restaurant empire.
Mervyn Rothstein
From the Print Edition:
Tyson vs. King, Jan/Feb 04
With the official opening of Kitchen 82 just two nights away, Charlie Palmer is busy cooking for about 60 friends, who have been invited to the New York City restaurant to take part in a dress rehearsal. The master chef and upscale-dining entrepreneur is standing over the stove, supervising his staff as they put the finishing touches on plates of grilled hanger steak with red smashed potatoes; sweet-and-sour onions; pan-seared salmon with black trumpets, fennel and spinach; and roasted chicken with porcini mushroom risotto and arugula.
Before long, though, Palmer is walking around the airy and informal dining room, soliciting opinions about the food and service. Clad in a blue pin-striped shirt, black jeans and a white cooking apron, he bends over tables of happy guests -- designers, architects, journalists, lawyers -- who are sitting under giant white lamp shades that are suspended from the ceiling.
His manner is relaxed and easygoing, but his concern and his attention to detail are apparent. He needs to make sure everything is just right. And if it isn't, he needs to find out immediately what has to be done to make it perfect. It's an attitude and a way of life that are responsible for the 44-year-old Palmer's enormous success over the past 16 years, during which he has opened 11 restaurants and catering halls.
The 70-seat Kitchen 82, at Columbus Avenue and 82nd Street on Manhattan's Upper West Side, is an offspring of Kitchen 22, Palmer's highly prosperous eatery near Gramercy Park where a simple concept -- three courses, $25, no gimmicks, no reservations -- has proved just right for these difficult economic times. The wait for a table at either restaurant can be 45 minutes or longer.
Kitchen 82, which opened last spring, had a start-up cost of $300,000 and is the ninth Palmer incarnation; the first was Aureole, his temple to haute American cuisine that Palmer opened when he was only 28. Located in a brownstone town house on East 61st Street between Madison and Park avenues that was once home to Orson Welles, Aureole was conceived to be to American dining what the legendary Lutèce was to French cuisine. It achieved that goal almost immediately, winning the plaudits of critics and attracting hordes of the rich and famous.
Between Aureole and Kitchen 82 came Metrazur, Palmer's luxury restaurant under the starry ceiling of Grand Central Terminal, two catering venues in New York and Los Angeles called Astra and Astra West, Aureole Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay, Kitchen 22, the Charlie Palmer Steak at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas, and Dry Creek Kitchen, his restaurant at the Hotel Healdsburg in Sonoma County, California.
Last year, Palmer reached an agreement to take over the Stirling Club, a restaurant and catering facility at Turnberry Place in Las Vegas. He also opened a $6 million, 280-seat Charlie Palmer Steak restaurant across from the Capitol in Washington, D.C. The latter establishment features a 10,000-bottle wine cellar of exclusively American wines from all 50 states, and lounges tailored for lovers of cigars -- a group that includes Palmer as a loyal member.
Palmer couldn't have envisioned his culinary success growing up as a lower—middle class kid from a small town in the snow-filled reaches of upstate New York; a kid whose teenage passion was tackling foes on the gridiron, not concocting complex sauces over a hot stove.
Palmer looks like a linebacker -- and that's what he was during his high school days in Smyrna, New York, a town located about two miles from Colgate University. But it was an after-school job as a dishwasher at the Colgate Inn and a dare from his next-door neighbor, a home-economics teacher, that set Palmer on the road to kitchen fame.
"When I was growing up I had no intention of becoming a chef," Palmer says from his office at Aureole on the morning of the dress rehearsal. "For me, everything was about sports. And we didn't exactly live in the realm of chefs and high-end food."

Does It Matter If Your Instructors Are Certified?
Deciding on a college, university or institute is an important aspect of your educational process. Knowing the instructors' level of teaching experience and the success of former students can offer some indication of the education you will receive. For IT students, there's another component that should be addressed, and that has to do with certifications.
Certifications have grown in popularity as well as stature in recent years. Once relegated to individuals who either could not or would not complete a four-year degree, IT certifications are fast becoming a necessity when working in the IT field, regardless of the degree you've earned or your experience.
It's now coming to the forefront that instructors with IT certifications may also indicate a more apt and fluid learning environment, so an important question to pose when researching different colleges is whether the teachers you will have are credentialed, not just degreed.
Whether you're looking at a four-year post-secondary school or a two-year program, the faculty will have the greatest impact on your academic success, and their ability to adapt and associate the changes in IT advancements to real-world applications can be vital.
The rapidly changing landscape of IT has created a growing demand for credentialing among businesses trying to keep up. That means there are indications already surfacing that certified individuals, regardless of their educational background, may outperform their formally degreed counterparts. When you consider the impact that teachers have on students, those that are able to improve the classroom experience and simplify…

Today students learn to make their own electronic artworks and designs because of the hurdles overcome by artists such as Laurence Gartel. Working with digital media for over thirty years, Laurence Gartel created some of the first tools for computer-generated art. His work has now been exhibited by museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, raising digital media to the status of fine art. His commercial work also illustrates how digital media is an essential tool for graphic design.
Learn more about the artist, his work, and events online at www.gartelmuseum.com.
About the Artist:
Laurence Gartel is a pioneer in the field of computer art. In the 1970s, he produced some of the first examples of electronic art using tools he had built and modified himself. At the age of twenty-nine he had learned 42 different electronic systems for creating art. Combining actual painting and photo-manipulation, he produced a unique art form a decade before corporate-produced software allowed the general public to emulate his technique. He started working with video synthesizers in 1976, ten years before the introduction of Paintbox to painters, and Amiga. Gartel is unique for having entered the paintbox style of work so early, and having persisted through the evolution of this technology to the present day.

I have been working at Autoliv
Pros – Decent benefits, friendly co-workers, OK pay
Cons – Internal red tape often gets in the way of getting things done. Management is rarely helpful until the issue is red-hot. There is a system for everything but nobody knows where, what, why or how to use it properly. Consequently, systems are often times skirted in order to get things done. Raises are rare and barely keep up with inflation.
Advice to Senior Management – Pay attention to how systems are working between facilities and departments. Keep processes that add value and eliminate those that do not. Design systems for the typical work flow, not for the exception.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

NEW, improved Zap&Hide® Blemish Concealer pleasantly and effectively zaps your blemishes and hides them too!
Features and benefits:
When I got the sample of the new Zap&Hide I was very disappointed. I have used the Zap&Hide in Medium for a couple of years and love it so I ordered the Z2 thinking it would be close to the color I use. It wasn't! It is so light. Plus it is a thicker formula so it's harder to blend. The old formula was a great natural color, felt great on the skin, and very easy to blend, but you could layer it if you needed lots of coverage! I hope they go back to the other formula and color choices.

Spanish politicians spent $220 million on the sparkling new Castellon airport on Spain's Mediterranean coast — $40 million alone was spent on TV ads and other marketing. They also paid $600,000 for ferrets and falcons to kill birds that endanger aircraft.
Yet no plane has yet taken off. Construction, which began in 2004, went over budget, partly to fund a 75-foot statue of a local politician out front.
For his age group, Spaniard Miguel Viada is one of the lucky ones. The 25-year-old has a temp job, at the help desk of a tech company in Madrid. But three out of his four roommates are unemployed.
They spend hours on the computer, sending out resumes, he says.
"It's impossible. They find jobs, but for one month, or something like that. And not in very good places or situations," says Viada, who has a master's degree.
Thousands marched in Spain on Sunday in support of Baltasar Garzon, the Spanish judge who became an icon for human-rights activists when he indicted former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in 1998.
Now, Spain's most famous judge is on trial, after turning his investigations toward the country's own fascist past.
Garzon, 56, is a champion of universal jurisdiction — the idea that the most heinous crimes need to be prosecuted, no matter where or when.
Fitch Ratings announced it was cutting the ratings of Italy, Spain, Belgium, Slovenia, and Cyprus.
Italy and Spain, two of the biggest eurozone economies, suffered a two-notch drop. Italy went from A+ to A- and Spain went from A to AA-.

Spain is the latest country to change its government over Europe's economic crisis. In a parliamentary election yesterday, Spaniards voted overwhelmingly to toss out the socialists who have ruled for almost eight years. They brought in Mariano Rajoy, leader of the conservative Popular Party.

This season just gets crazier and crazier. After last weeks pool party almost evolved into a tickle-fest, I was wondering just how far down the rabbit hole TUF Season 5 was willing to go. Thankfully the homo-eroticism has left the building this week, but weve got a new beast on our hands: schizophrenia. Before I crack open that chestnut lets get a little recap. The first two quarterfinal match-ups have been completed, with Joe Lauzon and Gray Maynard moving on to the semis. That leaves us with two more fights, both of which are being presented in a single episode. This week we get to see team mates Corey Hill and Nate Diaz throw down, and in addition we get to see an upset in the making with Matt Wiman vs. Manny Gamburyan. Hopefully the premise of two fights in one show equals two spectacular finishes, or a couple good fights and less household drama.
Is it just me or is Team Pulver getting the short end of the stick lately? After cleaning house nearly all season the boys in Gold are now subject to fighting each other. The first sacrificial lamb is Corey Hill, who is being thrown to the wolves after his gift of a decision against Rob Emmerson. Hill has the unfortunate task of fighting his team mate, Nate Diaz, who has the ground wizardry and size necessary to give Hill fits on the mat. The big question is if Diaz can get it there, as Corey has some great takedown defense from his years as a collegiate wrestler. In order for the two team mates to adequately prepare mentally, the two friends elect to stay away from each other around the house. The bigger problem is how to adequately prepare physically, as the two fighters are on the same team. Things are pretty easy for Corey, whom decides to just keep on doing what hes doin and train with Team Pulver. This is where things begin to get a little weird, as were shown a new side to the giant that is Corey Hill, and his name is Buddy Ro Carter.
Taking a page from the infamous Jack (ala Fight Club), Corey has devised a second personality to get him through the tough parts in life. A motivator, if you will. A Ninja Ninja to his Afro Samurai. I probably lost you on that one, but moving along
Buddy Ro Carter is, as Corey puts it, a guy who has had to work three times as hard to get to where he is now. Buddy Ro Carter puts a little swagger in Corey Hills step. Hes simultaneously the guy who got picked last for dodge ball, and the short guy for basketball. Correct me if Im wrong but hes pretty much the exact opposite of Corey Hill. I mean seriously, who the hell wouldnt pick 64 Corey first in a basketball game? Anyway, Corey is sitting in the sauna pumping himself up, or excuse me, Buddy is pumping Corey up about his upcoming fight. While a lot of people will probably think this is pretty strange, Im not one to judge. Whatever floats your boat and finds your lost remote, ya know? You have to have a couple of screws loose to fight in a cage for a living.
Nate Diaz isnt having as easy of a time with his training. Being in the same gym as the guy youre going to fight is a difficult thing, so Diaz decides to roll to practice with the Blue team. Upon arrival, Desouza is a bit shocked, showing his surprise with a joking, dont jump me. BJ remarks that maybe Nate came to train with him because Pulver wasnt teaching him anything. BJ also waxes about how he wanted Diaz on his team from the beginning. During practice BJ shows Diaz some sneaky little variations on the straight Achilles and heel hook leg locks. After the Blue team concludes their practice, the Gold team arrives and is less than happy to see Diaz cooling down. Manny gives him the finger, Melendez talks some shit, and Jens especially looks a little peeved. Nate and Jens talk it out, and Pulver realizes the severity of the situation. They shake hands and everything is cool for now.
Once fight day rolls around Pulver reveals that hes gonna sit this one out in terms of coaching. Instead some of Corey and Nates team mates will act as corner men. Round one starts and Corey comes out aggressive. The two exchange strikes and Corey drives Diaz back. Diaz shoots, Corey sprawls and whizzers, ending up in Nates guard on top. They stand up and resume the fight on the feet. Corey nails Diaz with a straight left, but misses with a follow up right hand. Diaz uses this opportunity to attempt another takedown. Corey stuffs him and ends up on top in guard again. He chops downwards with several hammer fists, and Diaz looks in trouble for a moment. Diaz rolls for a leg lock but cant get it, and the fighters end up back on their feet. Corey wings in more looping punches while stuffing takedown attempts from Diaz. Diaz lands a good knee from the Thai clinch but slips to the ground, and after regaining his footing slams a hard counter punch into Coreys jaw. Two and a half minutes left and Corey gets a good double leg takedown into Diazs guard, but Diaz locks up a sneaky guillotine. He uses the guillotine and a slick transition from his lanky guard to cinch a tight triangle choke, forcing Corey to tap out with two minutes left in the first round.
With the win, Diaz dodges a 64 bullet and moves on to the semi finals. Diaz explains that he would have liked to have landed more strikes, but hey a wins a win. Corey looked like a completely different fighter from his first experience in the cage. He was much more aggressive, more confident, and showed great takedown defense. He really has nothing to be ashamed of with the loss. Pulver modestly laments, When [Corey] actually gets with a coach who knows how to coach, watch him. I agree; when Corey gets with a good team he will be an extreme force at 155, as long as he works on his jujitsu. Out of anybody whos lost on the show Corey looks the happiest walking out, and he definitely doesnt cry. Anywho one fight is done with one more to go, and boy oh boy is it a whopper: Matt Wiman vs. Manny Gamburyan. This is a tough fight to call. On paper, Wimans size, striking, and competition activity should be more than a match for Manny. In reality, Mannys ferociousness and power could be more than Wiman can handle. I smell an upset.
Dana White gets his opinion up in the mix, and states that Manny is just too small for the majority of 155ers out there. I dont necessarily agree, but I do think that there are some intriguing match-ups for Manny at 145 if he can make the cut. How does Gamburyan vs. Faber sound? Speaking of cutting, Manny gets a surprise visit from his cousin Karo The Heat Parysian while running on the treadmill. Later on they roll a bit and it is pretty explosive, to say the least. Manny is one powerful little mofo. While being interviewed for the fight, Wiman expresses his thankfulness to the Almighty, stating, I feel like I was put here for a reason, and it wasnt to lose. Especially not to this guy. What the hell is that supposed to mean? I think Wiman feels that this fight will be the Crusades all over again. Manny prepares mentally by chilling out and singing the songs of his people. The next day the fighters look absolutely pumped as they make their way to the Octagon. It is obvious that theres a lot more on the line than a contract for these two.
Round one begins and Wimans 3 reach advantage doesnt help him. Manny slams a couple hard hooks into Wimans forearms before clinching up. Wiman knees, Manny pushes off, and they trade bombs. Manny gets the better of the exchanges and Wiman shoots, driving Manny to the fence. Manny defends nicely, but Wiman picks a single and takes Manny down to guard. Wiman attempts some ground and pound, but Manny is doing more damage from the bottom. After a scramble which sees Manny reverse positions the fighter get back to their feet and Manny continues to bomb out Wiman. The fight is stopped momentarily when it becomes apparent that there is a cut alongside Wimans right eye. After the restart, Manny gets a takedown into guard, and begins working the cut with both his head and ground and pound. The remainder of the round is dominated by Manny, and it looks as though Matt Wimans spirit may be broken from the tenacity of Gamburyans attack. The second round was even more in favor of Gamburyan, whom scored several takedowns and did a fair amount of damage with ground and pound. Wiman managed to land a few good shots, and took Mannys back for a bit without being able to capitalize on the position. Wiman looked a little gun shy in the second round, and protected his face a few times when he probably should have been firing back with strikes of his own. BJ comments that Wiman wanted to protect his handsome face, but then again BJ wasnt in there taking punches from the powerful Gamburyan. Wiman fought with his heart, but in the end Manny walked away with a unanimous decision victory.
After the fight BJ discusses Wimans loss, and makes the previous remarks about protecting his face. He also says that Wiman wasnt keeping his eyes on his opponent. You cant see what you cant hit, so that played a big part in the missed punches and opportunities. Wiman is pretty bummed back stage, sulking on the floor and on the verge of tears. Wiman feels as though he is a much better fighter, and that his head just wasnt in the game during the match. He finishes by saying that people wont even remember this loss after he smashes a few peoples faces. Manny Gamburyan on the other hand gains some well deserved respect, and showed everyone that he has the skills to compete at a high level. Wiman is no stepping stone, and Gamburyan pretty much dominated him for the full 10 minutes. With a little more training, as well as Karo Parysian in his corner, Manny will give a lot of people problems at 155. Id like to see him fight a superior striker before making any judgments on his title chances. With that weve just about wrapped it up for this weeks episode. Next week we have a lot to look forward to, including Karo and Nate Diaz almost getting into a backstage brawl. We also get to see the semi finals, with the big surprise being that it will be team mate versus team mate. Turmoil in the house, the office, and the octagon on the next

haiti: raising awareness of gmos and supporting local food
In 2008, the food crisis in Haiti meant that large quantities of food were imported into the country as humanitarian aid. In most cases, no information was provided on the nature of the products, including whether or not they contained GMOs.
what happened?
FoE Haiti worked to raise public awareness of the harmful impacts of GMOs on human health, agriculture and the environment. They also worked to reinforce local food production in Savane Brulée, where they were already working with the community to build rainwater harvesting systems and help people adapt to climate change.
FoE Haiti produced and distributed training materials on GMOs, and organized events to inform and mobilize people on the GM issue.
They also distributed locally grown seeds for planting in the next farming season. Unfortunately, this crop was largely ruined by the hurricanes. FoE Haiti assisted the affected communities after the hurricanes, by providing locally produced food and other necessities.
FoE Haiti helped with the production of maize, and when this was harvested in November, they organized the storage of part of the crop for planting in spring 2009.
what changed?
People in Savane Brulée are now well informed about the risks of GMOs. Women were particularly involved in all the awareness raising activities.
The community now has a seed store, and a system to ensure that seed is saved from each harvest to enable other smallholders to develop their farming activities.
One of the most positive impacts has been the growth of community solidarity and mutual aid in a difficult period. Women in particular were involved in distributing locally grown food to hurricane victims.
what next?
FoE Haiti has put a framework in place to ensure the project continues. They have set up a committee to oversee the seed store, and have submitted a proposal to the FoEI Membership Support Fund to extend the rainwater harvesting project.

Brooklyn >Food & Dining > Noodle Pudding
38 Henry St, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1120140.699805 -73.991882
Tue-Thu, 5:30pm-10:30pm; Fri-Sat, 5:30pm-11pm; Sun, 5pm-10pm; Mon, closed
Neighborhoods: Brooklyn Heights
Best restaurant in the Heights – Loud, busy, cheap, great food, nice bar, great service, packed, cash only. Been going here for years. I tend to get there at 6 because if you come later you have to wait an hour. All the grannies and families are here early. Then it's packed until 9:30 or so. In the summer the wait is easier. Henry's End benefits from the overflow but it's nowhere near as good and the service is indifferent. The heights is a picky place for restaurants and dozens of them have failed since I've lived here. This one marches on because they have the right combination of food, service and price.
Love Love Love it Here – We absolutely love it here and have been coming for YEARS! Yes, it is cash only and there is often a wait - that just means it's inexpensive and popular - two good signs!
Read some of our favs to order here:
jazzandjill.wordpress Dotcom
Impressed... Subtle food and service – Noodle pudding is exactly the type of service and food I enjoy. Servers are all different, Greg is my favorite. Sometimes tables don't understand his sense of humor but it's refreshing to have a server who has personality, professionalism, and respects the privacy of your dinner. This is the first place I've been that a runner remembers my order... hope he likes his job because I have half a mind to steal him for my restaurant. Prices are fair across the board for both food and bev. I go out to eat and like my courses, servers are patient and never rush courses or force another drink. Restaurants in manhattan should try to model food and service after this place.
Maggot in the food! – I've been wanting to go to this place forever and finally got a table. The menu looked great, and the waiter was very nice, but when the food came, it was average. Nevertheless, I finished my plate, and that's when I found a maggot in mushroom sauce at the bottom. I showed it to the manager, and he smilingly apologized and brought us two free desserts (but did not ask us what we wanted and so brought the last two desserts we would have asked for). When the bill came, nothing was comped, so I told the manager very politely that we were willing to pay for the wine, but I didn't think I should have to pay for food with a maggot in it. Yes, I ate the food, but I certainly would not have if I had seen the maggot before eating, and I was at this point fairly sick to my stomach. The manager finally said he would comp the two glasses of wine (which cost less than the food), and made it seem like a big concession. We paid and left because we didn't feel like arguing any more. I have worked in restaurants and cook a lot, and there is no way a maggot should be able to get into well prepared food. For a restaurant with such a good reputation and that is usually so packed, there was no reason for such a lack of intelligent customer service.
Overrated at best – Went here tonight on a recommendation of a few people as well as the stellar reviews. The appetizers that we ordered, Polpo(Octopus) was tasty, but the Carpacchio was more like an arugula salad instead of carpacchio and was in need of salt. Our main entrees the Tagliatelle Bolognese was also okay. Nothing special, just some ground chuck in tomato sauce and the Veal Cheeks special could've also used more salt in the polenta and the cippolini onions could've been cooked a few minutes longer. The veal cheeks themselves were cooked perfectly but lacked salt. The wait between appetizer and entree was a ridiculous 30 minutes considering we were one of the first tables seated. Overall not what I expected for all the hype. I can understand going there if I were to live in the neighborhood but not worth the trip. Al Di La is much better Italian food especially for the price.
Great Italian! Variety of choices! – My first time here, I had a male server. He was perfection. He knew his wine, he knew when to make conversation and when to keep his distance. He was personable and extremely efficient. The second time we had a female. She was slightly frantic, less personable, less efficient, but she did the job. (Better service than most places.) The server's assistants/busboys were also extremely efficient. I appreciated the water refills, clearing of plates changing of silverware, etc. The bartender was the worst of the service here. He was extremely slow. It took him quite some time to acknowledge us. (Which is disappointing because the bar only has room for 4-6 customers).
The food!! It is amazing! You cant go wrong here. It is worth any wait. This is one of the only restaurants in the area that has a nice selection of fish and meat choices. (Unlike some places, that have just salmon and filet.) IThe wine list is nice, but supposedly not updated.
This restaurant only takes cash! So as long as you know that, you should have a great dinner here!!
Best in Brooklyn Heights! – My parents lived in Italy for two years, and absolutely loved it. The only disappointment is that I wasn't around, as I have a fondness for Italian food. I enjoy eating, and always like restaurants that offer generous portions with an eye for quality. Many times I have gone to an establishment with rave reviews, and walk out feeling less than satisfied. This has not been the case with Noodle Pudding.
The first time I went to Noodle Pudding was with my parents. They had been there on previous occasions, and fully recommended it. The whole dining room had a Italian motife, and it is loud and crowded.(That's okay-just like Italy, according to my folks!) We were given seats at a large table, which had very comfortable seating.
Almost immediately after taking our places, bread was delivered to the table. It was delicious, and there were different varieties to choose from. There were large amounts of butter, and our water glasses were filled with ice cold water. Our server brought us salads, and they were very good.(Good portions as well!) We looked at the menus, and decided our meals. I have always been a fan of chicken parmigiana, and gave my order to the server. The timing between the salads/appetizers before the meal arrived, was perfect in every way. I could not believe the size of the meal that arrived in front of me, and it was there I discovered the true nature of Italian eating.
Fresh, pure Italian flavors – Noodle Pudding felt like it was slightly in the middle of nowhere, but worth the walk. The ambiance was great, casual but atmospheric, with mottled walls and classy chandeliers and plenty of candlelight, sometimes shared seating with others, a loud vibrant feel, plenty of families, kids & toddlers.
We read that you should "get there early?. The place was packed and there was already a line at 5:45 on a Saturday. It seemed they open at 5:30 and that's when the crowds swoop down. Luckily we were still early enough that we only waited about 5 min for a table.
Most importantly: the food. This was a winner, one of the best meals we've had in a while. Every dish we sampled was extremely tasty. All tasted fresh, and succulent; simple flavors and dishes, as is often the case in Italy, that come together for amazing meals. The bread and olive oil for dipping they bring is great. The mussels with spicy tomato sauce appetizer was excellent. The buffalo mozzarella was fresh and the tomatoes with it were juicy and flavorful. The mushroom risotto had by the hubby was just what he wanted, with a mixture of 3 types of mushrooms, and my sage & butter gnocchi dish was simple and perfect. The tiramisu was one of the hubby's "top tiramisu choices", as it's one of his favorite dishes. And the house wine was not bad for $14 (bottle).
All in all a local favorite.
Best meal in a long time! – Mussles and calamari were superb Saturday evening. I had the Lamb special which was perfect. My father had the flank steak which was very good, and my mother had the swordfish. Very impressive!
Best restaurant in Brooklyn – The best! Great food, amazing service, this place is a class act. The veal was incredible last night. Fresh, mind blowing flavors. This place is a must visit!

Large Pasta Bowl
The colors used on our Cayman dinnerware is reminiscent of the Caribbean Sea. Softened by the sun, muted shades of brown and turquoise appear like chiseled stones around the edges of this stoneware dinnerware set. Due to the nature of reactive glaze, each piece of this handcrafted collection will exhibit unique variations in color and pattern. Microwave and dishwasher safe. This bowl is the greatest for servings of pasta and salads. It's got plenty of room and a generous rim for keeping sauces in place. Holds enough to serve individual meal-size portions of many favorites, including chef salad, ravioli with sauce, spaghetti and meatballs, stews and chili. For summer, it's the perfect size for fresh strawberry shortcakes, too. Pasta bowl is 14 inch diameter and holds 108 ounces.

I work with three year olds. Sometimes, they need an adult to bring them to the offending child and to show them what to say- "tell Johnny that you didn't like when he pushed you and that it hurt you". Sometimes they need that extra confidence boost of having an adult there and showing them what to say and after a while, they'll start trying it for themselves. For a timid child, sometimes confrontation can be pretty scary, even if the "confrontation" is to tell another child you don't like him hitting you.

Hummer H1 Parts
Need Hummer Parts?
The rise of Hummer vehicles as a status symbol in society and its subsequent fall was quick, and ultimately design problems such as its poor fuel economy and large size caught up with it. But make no mistake about it, Hummer vehicles were designed and built to travel to and test the earth's limits. While they are no longer in production, Hummers are still some of the most rugged and versatile vehicles in existence today and, as with any automobile, normal wear and tear will occur, damaging your Hummer parts and forcing you to buy replacements.

If you happen to be an enthusiastic Hummer owner, have a deep passion for Hummer vehicles, or just want to learn more about the automobile manufacturer, continue reading below for a detailed look at the brand's history and some of its past models.
Evolving from a vehicle designed for the military into a modern day status symbol at its peak in popularity, Hummer was a brand of trucks and SUVs sold from 1992 until its demise in 2010 as a result of the General Motors (GM) bankruptcy and its failure to sell the brand. Highly regarded as one of the world's best – and most serious - 4x4 off-road vehicles in the world, Hummer vehicles provided individuals with amazing toughness and mobility combined with interior comfort.
1. Origin
The origin of the Hummer that we know today got its start in the late 1970's. In 1979, the U.S. Army was in need of a new, heavy-duty military vehicle to replace the jeep and the other light tactical vehicles that no longer satisfied its rigorous demands. The vehicle was called the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV, pronounced Humvee) and the U.S. Army put forth a document which outlined the requirements that this new vehicle had to meet. These included agility, the ability to travel into the wildest terrains, and it had to last at a minimum 12 years under the most brutal conditions. In July of that same year, a company called AM General Corporation began preliminary design work on their prototype, the M998, and a working unit was put through initial testing less than a year later. AM General came to be in 1971 when American Motors Corporation made the General Products Division of Jeep, which AMC owned at the time, a wholly owned subsidiary separate from Jeep, renaming it at that time. The division produced military trucks, contract and non-commercial vehicles.
In 1981, AM General was awarded a prototype contract by the U.S. Army for the development of more prototype vehicles which were to be put through further tests. Development commenced in 1982 and operational testing of the prototypes was conducted later in that same year over a few months period. Realizing that this was the new vehicle it had been looking for, in March 1983 the U.S. Army awarded AM General with an initial production contract worth $1.2 billion to produce 55,000 Humvees over a five-year period. That initial order was increased by over 15,000 additional vehicles not long after, bringing the total value of the contract to around $1.6 billion.
During this time however, changes were happening at American Motors. In 1982, French automaker Renault purchased a controlling interest in the company thus putting ownership of it into foreign hands. U.S. government regulations that were in place at the time mandated that local defense contractors could not be owned by foreign governments, and Renault was partially owned by the French government. As a result, AM General was sold by AMC to the LTV Corporation in 1983, and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the LTV Aerospace and Defense Company. Renco Group then bought the company in 1992 but it remained an independent company and government and military contractor, which it still does to this day even after controlling ownership of the company has since switched hands once again to MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc.
Evolution and Purchase by GM
AM General continued to produce Humvee's for the military during this time and it played a crucial role in the ground campaign of the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991. The vehicle began to receive a lot of publicity – even Arnold Schwarzenegger was pushing for a civilian version - and in 1992, AM General began selling a civilianized version of its M998 Humvee under the brand name Hummer, a nickname that the vehicle had been given by GI's. The idea had been floated around years before, but it wasn't until 1992 that it became a reality.
In 1999, AM General sold the rights to the Hummer brand to General Motors; however, as part of the agreement, AM General was to continue and be responsible for producing the original civilian Hummer (which was later renamed by GM as the H1) while GM was to handle the marketing and distribution of Hummers. Not long afterwards, GM introduced two unique models it had designed itself - the Hummer H2 and H3. AM General was contracted by GM to build the new Hummer H2 in its own factory and it began selling on the market in 2002, but the company had no involvement with the H3 whatsover. In June 2006, production of the H1 was ceased and by that same year, Hummers were being exported and sold in numerous countries around the world.
End of the Road for Hummer
In 2008, the CEO of GM at the time, Rick Wagoner, announced that the Hummer brand was being reviewed by the company, and that it could possibly be either sold, have its line completely redesigned, or simply be terminated. This decision was due to the fact that demand for large SUVs with poor gas mileage like Hummer vehicles had declined significantly as a result of high oil prices which had spiked retail gas prices.
Despite several potential buyers expressing interest in purchasing the Hummer brand, in 2009 GM announced as part of its bankruptcy announcement that it would be discontinuing the line. However, a day after the announcement, GM changed course and announced that it would instead sell the brand to an undisclosed company, later identified as Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company Ltd., based in China, pending government approvals. In February of 2010, GM announced that the deal had collapsed and that it would be moving forward with the termination of the Hummer brand after all. Other last ditch attempts at buying the brand were made but the brand was officially terminated later that year and dealers winded down their franchises.

Comments about New Balance Brighton 344 Skate Shoes - magnet grey/wine red:
I've only skated these a dozen times but they seem to be holding up well. Thin sole with great board-feel, a riff on my favorite, the Vans waffle. Wear areas are more densely patterned (heel and ball of foot) so I expect them to last since that is exactly what I wear out first in shoes.
Stoked when I heard New Balance was getting in the game, since they are the only big manufacturer to retain some domestic production. These specific shoes are not made in the USA but at least NB is committed to keeping some production in the States whenever feasible, unlike Nike and everyone else for that matter.
