Michelle Kwan is going back to the Olympics - as a television analyst.
Kwan has been hired by Fox Sports to cover the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The nine-time U.S. and five-time world champion figure skater will cover a variety of sports for Fox, which is launching its cable sports channel, Fox Sports 1, this month.
Kwan, a two-time Olympic medalist (silver in 1998, bronze in 2002) says she has been encouraged by the network to report on sports outside the Olympics, as well, and is hoping to be involved in Fox's Super Bowl coverage just before the Sochi Games.
''When they asked, they were really encouraging to me to try it out,'' said Kwan, who works for the State Department as a senior adviser for public diplomacy and public affairs. ''They said, `We are going to be innovative and fun and open to different angles,' which really attracted me. Reporting and story-telling is what they want, so for me it will interesting to kind of let the public know about the stories of athletes, or their perspectives on the Olympics.''...
...[Kwan] graduated from the University of Denver with a degree in international studies, and earned her master's degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in 2011.

Carlos Muñoz Looks To Conquer The Indy 500
Carlos Muñoz's initiation to Indianapolis went relatively smoothly; Conor Daly's was a little rougher.
Either way, the two 21-year-olds will find themselves on the 2.5-mile oval Sunday, starting their engines for the biggest race in the IndyCar Series.
"It doesn't really matter where you qualify, it's still cool to be here," Daly said Tuesday before the annual rookie luncheon at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
All four rookies — Muñoz, Daly, AJ Allmendinger and Tristan Vautier — would agree.
But there's almost nothing that compares to starting on the front row as a rookie, which is what Muñoz will do at the 97th running of the 500.
The last rookie driver to start on the front row was another Colombian, Juan Pablo Montoya, who qualified second in 2000 and dominated the race en route to his only Indy win.
Muñoz remembers it well. Back then, he was just a kid watching his childhood racing idol on TV and savoring every precious moment of a memorable victory that sent Colombians pouring into the streets. It was enough to convince Muñoz then that he could one day follow in Montoya's footsteps. He just never dreamed their paths would be so similar.
Like Montoya in 2000, Muñoz came to the historic track with one of the big-name teams in American open-wheel racing. Montoya drove for Chip Ganassi, Muñoz is working for Michael Andretti.
Like Montoya in 2000, Muñoz is the fastest rookie in the field at 228.342 mph.
Like Montoya in 2000, Muñoz will start second, the middle of the front row.
And in Colombia, his ability to find speed certainly has raised expectations.
"Before coming here, my main goal was to the Indy Lights championship," said Muñoz, who has started on the front row of every Lights race. "Right now, I'm the championship leader, so I'm saying I have to win Indy Lights first and I'm not putting any pressure on me to win it (the 500)."
For Muñoz, this May could not have gone any better.
He passed his rookie test on opening day. A little more than 24 hours later, he posted the fastest lap in Indy practice. He spent the rest of the week near the top of the speed charts and when qualifying began Saturday, Muñoz and his four better-known teammates — Marco Andretti, Canada's James Hinchcliffe, defending series champ Ryan Hunter-Reay and Venezuela's E.J. Viso — were all considered front-runners in the battle to win the pole. Somehow, Muñoz wound up the top qualifier of the Andretti five after the nine-car pole shootout.
Daly's month couldn't have gone much worse.
The problems began after Daly missed the first two days of Indy practice so he could race in Spain, then returned to Indy late Sunday only to learn that someone had lost his luggage — a bag that included his protective HANS device. Fortunately, Marco Andretti gave his to Daly so he could pass rookie orientation.
Last Thursday, Daly got into real trouble when he sensed something with the No. 41 car. Suddenly, the car spun coming out of the first turn, sending him into the wall and skidding down the track between turns one and two with the No. 41 car on its side.
It was the only practice crash of the month and it sent A.J. Foyt's team scrambling to rebuild the car in time for qualifying.
The hard knocks still weren't over for Daly, the son of a former Formula One driver, Indy starter and television racing analyst.
On Pole Day, Daly's first lap was clocked at 221.528 mph, then dropped to 214.210 and then came puffs of smoke out of the rear end of his car. Again, Foyt's team was scrambling, this time installing a new engine overnight to give Daly a chance to make the 33-car starting grid on Bump Day. Daly did just that with a four-lap average of 223.582, putting him on the inside of Row 11.
For Daly, that was good enough.
"In the end, I finally got run in qualifying trim Sunday morning and then we decided just to get it in the show and not worry too much about the speed," Daly said. "The crash was a big learning experience for me because I was able to feel how car was on the edge a little bit too far."
Allmendinger, the 31-year-old who drove in NASCAR and Champ Car before coming to Indy, feels a little out of place around these young guys. But he's not complaining. Allmendinger was the highest qualifier from Roger Penske's team. He'll start fifth, the middle of Row 2 after posting an average of 228.099.
"I look at these guys and think 'God, all these rookies they're so young,'" Allmendinger said. "I guess maybe I'll have to rely on youthful experience."
Daly just hopes his luck changes Sunday. And Muñoz hopes nothing changes at all.
"It means a lot, you know," Muñoz said when asked about being mentioned with Montoya. "I think we've had some great days, but I have to do a great job in the race also."

Monday's Leftovers: Deluxe Roast Beef Sandwich
Monday's Leftovers: Deluxe Roast Beef Sandwich
In my opinion, the best thing about any roast — be it turkey, beef, chicken, etc. — is the leftovers. There's just something about roasted meat that makes for a perfect sandwich. Sure, you could use regular deli meat, but if you've got leftover rib roast, why not aim for perfection? With a little bit of horseradish and tasty rye bread, this deluxe sandwich will make for a perfect meal. Pair it with a glass of Pinot Noir, some salted potato chips, and call it a night! To get the recipe for the Deluxe Roast Beef Sandwich,
Deluxe Roast Beef Sandwich
From Cooking Light magazine, January 2000
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons chili sauce
2 (1-ounce) slices rye bread
1 romaine lettuce leaf
3 ounces thinly sliced deli roast beef
2 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato
1 (1/8-inch-thick) slice red onion, separated into rings
- Combine first 3 ingredients. Spread mayonnaise mixture on one bread slice.
- Top with lettuce leaf, roast beef, tomato slices, onion, and remaining bread slice.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- As is the custom, Andy Reid was asked the annual question as to whether the Eagles are ready to compete for a Super Bowl championship this season.
His answer: "Yes. That's what makes it exciting. I think we have a good group coming back. As long as we build on what we did (late) last year, which I think is important in this case. Every year is different. I understand that. But we've got to take the momentum that we finished with and build on it and continue to get better."
The Eagles won the last four games of the regular season to finish 8-8, as you remember.
Owner Jeffrey Lurie after the season made a reference to those wins as being "fool's gold."
More to come ...

I had the pleasure of attending (and speaking at) the ICT for Sustainability conference this week. This is the first sustainability focused conference I've had the pleasure of attending since I last attended the conference on Behavior Energy and Climate Change a few years ago (also a wonderful conference). Similarly to BECC, the attendees are highly multidisciplinary, and as can be seen from the word cloud at right, the range of topics covered at ICT4S is quite diverse. I was impressed to see a mixture of life cycle analysis, agriculture, water-focused projects, feedback and energy monitoring, and ICT software and hardware efficiency improvements among the talks I attended. Speakers addressed issues ranging from behavior change to technology to policy.
For example, Grunfeld & Houghton [1] discussed the use of ICT to support sustainable farming (tied to poverty reduction and human development). They identified roles for ICT ranging from knowledge exchange to supply chain management. This was connected to policy issues including climate change, food security, property rights, and funding.
The EcologTex project [2] explored supply chain sustainability for textiles. The authors raised an issue that is becoming a theme for me in thinking about the role ICT has in addressing sustainability issues: The need for data, and for ways of handling uncertainty with respect to that data. One of the most interesting facets of this project for me was their approach of creating a social-network like site for businesses rather than individuals to exchange information. Many of the issues they were facing (such as seeding the site and encouraging participation) are similar to those we face when creating successful social networks for individuals. I wonder whether organizational psychologists will one day add a new perspective to the theory and design of online social sites, or whether the issues are substantially similar. An area for future work.
One of the most compelling cases for feedback that I saw at the conference was the case of solar power (locally generated). The paper, titled "When looking out the window is not enough" [3] explored different ways of helping individuals with their own solar panels to easily understand when a surplus (or limited) amount of power was available so that they could plan their large appliance use accordingly. I wonder whether such a project could project expected use (and availability) to further advance planning.
Much of the conference seemed, from the perspective of a technologist and implementor like myself, to be theoretical or hypothetical in nature. So I was pleased to see specific examples that went beyond this, whether to simulate or model (such as Sissa's work on modeling rebound effects using agents [4]) or build and deploy, such as Anda et al.'s [XX] deployment of a smart metering infrastructure for water management in Perth. That project included planning, ongoing coaching, and a 2011 deployment lasting 9 months in 9 households. While I hope to see further details on their results, one can see that the higher consuming households decreased to something close to the group mean (and below the australian average) once the meter was installed.
One of my favorite deployments was described by plenary speaker Robert Laubacher, the Climate CoLab. I was particularly impressed by this project because it took the sorts of ideas that have previously been employed for changing individual behavior (something I have critiqued in the past) and found a concrete way to move past that mindset. The CoLab is an online community designed to encourage individuals to think about issues such as climate diplomacy, green economy, geo-engineering, adaptation, and mitigation. The community explicitly includes experts recruited from universities and NGOs in multiple countries with everyday people. Participation is motivated through a series of competitions, and audience and expert judged prizes are both given out. But the most interesting prize is the ability to present to meaningful organizations (U.S. congress, U.N., etc.) or receive seed funding.
Finally, I want to comment on some structural elements of the conference. The organizers did a fantastic job of facilitating a conversation about where ICT for sustainability should be going. They did this by means of bringing in
- a facilitator who helped to collect and distribute ideas and connect people (he had people stand up and say "you should talk to me because" before one break for example)
- a group of artists who listend and rendered ideas and thoughts in compelling cartoons which were placed on bulletin boards and played in a slide show while participants were asked to submit ideas to the facilitator
- A wide ranging set of invited speakers who brought in topics and ideas that might otherwise not have been represented.
The conference isn't quite over, but I feel confident in ending this post here by saying it was well worth the trip. It combined the feeling of a well run workshop with the relaxed time period and ability to hear in depth about research by individuals normal to a conference. I look forward to seeing the final set of recommendations that comes out of this effort.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Japanese lead actor Takeru Satoh of the hit action movie "Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno," and other cast members have graced the film's Asian premiere in Manila, where the first "Rurouni Kenshin" shown last year reportedly broke the record for a Japanese movie in the Philippines.
Filipino fans loudly cheered Satoh, who plays a legendary assassin turned conflicted hero Kenshin Himura during Japan's Meiji era, actress Emi Takei, actor Munetaka Aoki and director Keishi Otomo, at their red carpet arrivals before the screening at SM Megamall Wednesday night.
They chanted "Takeru, Takeru" and "Sano, Sano." Sano is Munetaka's character Sanosuke, Kenshin's street fighter friend. The audience wildly applauded when the actors greeted them in Tagalog.
The fast-action film by Warner Bros. Japan starts its regular cinema run in the country on Aug. 20. It is the first of a two-part finale of the franchise based on the hit Japanese comic, or manga, also called Rurouni Kenshin.
"We all put our lives on the line here, our spirit is in this movie, so we really hope that you can support us, support the movie," Satoh, in an all-black suit, said to shrieks from the fans.
He said he practiced for three months prior to shooting his intense sword-fighting scenes.
Takei said it was the first time she had attended a premiere of one of her movies outside Japan and thanked the fans for their warm welcome.
The action and drama film about the once-feared swordsman during the turbulent fall of Japan's Shogunate in the 19th century who adopted a peaceful life after the arrival of Japan's "new age" has captivated fans in the Philippines and other parts of Asia.

Update (6:14 PM): Okay, so this sucks: Helm is out, with a flared up back injury.
On the plus side, Brian Lashoff will stay in the lineup if Ericsson is good to go. Kindl's time may be running out. I expect Lashoff will be watched closely tonight, though. - Matt
… This will be the first of just four meetings between the Wings and Blackhawks this season. I guess it was more important to get that extra game in against the Blue Jackets than against, you know, an all-time rival.
… The Hawks are off to a fast 5-0-0 start that includes a 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets last night. They last started undefeated after five back in 1971. A win tonight would set a team record.
… They've played on consecutive nights once already this season and put up six goals on night #2 on their way to outscoring opponents LA and Phoenix 11-6 on the road.
… Their 10 points leads the league, though San Jose is just two points back with a game in hand.
… Patrick Kane has 9 points already, which is more than he had over any other five-game span last season. That's an 86 point pace.
… The Wings are just 2-2-0 and sit fourth in the Central. That's just one point up on Columbus. You have to remind yourself that it's early to avoid being too depressed about that.
… They played Friday and took out the Wild 5-3 in a bit of an offensive explosion you hope continues tonight against a Chicago team that hasn't been super tight defensively (except on the PK, which is third at 94%*).
… It's possible that Jonathan Ericsson will be back in the lineup tonight, which will bring the blueline close to full health. Just Ian White and his lacerated knee would be out in that case, unless you count Kyle "Crap Bag" Quincey as out with an injured hockey sense.
… An Ericsson return would likely mean Brian Lashoff'd be out. The Red Wings Way and all.
… Mikael Samuelsson (forgot about him, didn't you?) and Jonas Gustavsson are out with groin injuries.
… The Wings showed they have it in them offensively to beat a highly-skilled team despite the defense being weaker than it's been in forever. They'll need something like the same kind of offensive output tonight.
*The Bruins and Islanders both are at 100% (!).

Face the Music
A Life Exposed
On Sale: 07/26/2016
Spend $49 and get FREE shipping on HC.com
NEW YORK TIMES and INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
In Face the Music, Paul Stanley—the co-founder and famous "Starchild" frontman of KISS—reveals for the first time the incredible highs and equally incredible lows in his life both inside and outside the band. Face the Music is the shocking, funny, smart, inspirational story of one of rock's most enduring icons and the group he helped create, define, and immortalize.
Stanley mixes compelling personal revelations and gripping, gritty war stories that will surprise even the most steadfast member of the KISS Army. He takes us back to his childhood in the 1950s and '60s, a traumatic time made more painful thanks to a physical deformity. Born with a condition called microtia, he grew up partially deaf, with only one ear. But this instilled in him an inner drive to succeed in the most unlikely of pursuits: music.
With never-before-seen photos and images throughout, Stanley's memoir is a fully realized and unflinching portrait of a rock star, a chronicle of the stories behind the famous anthems, the many brawls and betrayals, and all the drama and pyrotechnics on and off the stage. Raw and confessional, Stanley offers candid insights into his personal relationships, and the turbulent dynamics with his bandmates over the past four decades. And no one comes out unscathed—including Stanley himself.
"People say I was brave to write such a revealing book, but I wrote it because I needed to personally reflect on my own life. I know everyone will see themselves somewhere in this book, and where my story might take them is why I'm sharing it." —Paul Stanley

"Paul Stanley proves himself as an artist in music and on canvas and now with a great book." - Jimmy Page
"Both honest and inspirational. Amazing tales from one of rock's great frontmen." - Sir Elton John
"Paul is a great man who has achieved great things. From the Popcorn Club all the way to the Hall of Fame, his story is inspiring and motivating for anyone who dreams big." - Dave Grohl
"An entertaining yet piercingly honest journey from self–conscious child to the world's most visually famous rock band, to, finally—with the makeup wiped away—a place of peace as a father and a man. Paul Stanley's story is both ordinary and extraordinary, which makes it inspiring." - Mitch Albom, author of The First Phone Call From Heaven and Tuesdays With Morrie
"For years the members hid their true identities behind cartoon personas and hard rock anthems... After years of carefully maintaining his Starchild superhero identity, Stanley lets down his guard and unleashes a torrent of pent-up feelings that erupt and flow over 400 pages like molten lava." - Guitar World Magazine
"KISS' flamboyant "Starchild" unplugs his high-wattage amps and introduces fans to an even more intriguing character: Stanley Harvey Eisen... [Face the Music is] an indispensable part of KISStory." - Kirkus Reviews
"Elegantly and thoughtfully, Stanley takes us behind the mask of Starchild, his KISS persona, and shares intimately his own insecurities about his physical appearance and his emotional life." - Publishers Weekly
"Most people will probably not associate sensitivity with the flamboyant heavy-metal rock band KISS, and yet in his memoir, front man, rhythm guitarist, and cofounder Paul Stanley succeeds in making a connection with the reader, KISS fan or not." - Booklist

Sigourney Weaver takes questions from fans and talks about the lasting significance of the "Alien" franchise at the fifth annual Hero Complex Film Festival. (Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times)Link

Sigourney Weaver was midway through praising her character of Ellen Ripley, her iconic role from the "Alien" franchise, whom she called "an existential hero" with a firm "moral compass," when she alluded to a very popular discussion among fans.
"Had we done a fifth one, I don't doubt that her humanity would have prevailed. … "I do feel like there is more story to tell."
Weaver's appearance capped off the fifth annual Hero Complex Film Festival at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres in Hollywood. The actress took the stage for an in-depth Q&A between screenings of Ridley Scott's landmark 1979 science fiction film "Alien" and James Cameron's 1986 sequel "Aliens." (Cameron was a guest of honor at the festival on Saturday, on hand for a Q&A of his own between screenings of "The Terminator" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day.")
Weaver reminisced about her time as Ripley in the "Alien" movies, and went on to speculate what shape a possible fifth film could take, much to the delight of the rapt audience. The actress earned laughs when she said she didn't think a new "Alien" sequel could take place on Earth, with the Alien "popping out of a haystack" somewhere in the "French countryside."
"I feel a longing from fans for the story to be finished," she said, adding, "I could imagine a situation where we finish telling the story."
Weaver, who referred to "Alien" as "our little movie," related many behind the scenes anecdotes from filming — including one involving the infamous "chest bursting scene," as she called it, with John Hurt.
"We forgot that we were making a movie," she said. "It was so real to us and convincing. I can't believe two guys got under a table and made that happen."
It was this sort of innovation and creativity in a pre-CGI world that Weaver credited with the lasting significance of the film. She paid tribute to the Swiss surrealist artist H.R. Giger, who died last month at age 74. His work served as a direct inspiration for the alien, and he worked as a special effects consultant on the film, which won an Oscar for its visual effects.
Weaver also said the film's prescient politics were a big part of "Alien's" lasting cultural relevance.
"A lot of corporations are still characterized by the same kind of greed [as the film's Weyland-Yutani]," she said. "It's an idea that's, unfortunately, very alive in our world."
Check back soon to watch video from the conversation with Weaver and some of the other special guests from the weekend.

"Things I find in the refrigerator" soup
As I've said before, Alex loves it when I make soup. The other night when it was raining and crappy and miserable out, I made soup to go with the sweet corn pudding I made. When I make soup, I follow this process, instead of following recipes, because usually when I make soup I make it with a tub of stock fron the freezer plus things I find in the fridge, like leftover meat, veggies that needed to be eaten yesterday, and other stuff I find. Things-from-the-fridge soup always turns out delicious, and often can be a whole meal - you have plenty of veggies, a meat, and often a starch, maybe even some dairy.
Things from the fridge soup
This is not a recipe but a process. Use whatever you have left in your fridge!
1. First things first. If you are using frozen stock, microwave it or thaw it in a pan on the stove.
2. Chop all your vegetables. I always use onion and garlic, this time I added carrots, celery, a parsnip, and Chinese broccoli. If your vegetables have leafy greens, like bok choy or Chinese broccoli, slice the stems and use them now. Set aside the leafy greens to be added in at the end.
3. If you are using raw meat, cook it now, then remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Heat a bit of butter or olive oil in your soup pot. Add your chopped veggies, and cook 5-10 minutes until softened and starting to brown. I know all these vegetables cook for different amounts of time, but they're going to keep cooking in the soup so it will be ok.
5. Once vegetables are soft, add tomato if you are using tomatoes.
6. Add some salt and pepper, and if you want to add some spices do it now. I often use cumin and coriander, or curry powder, and paprika and chili powder if you want a kick. Cook the spices for a minute, stirring.
7. Add the stock (and some water if it's strong, or if you don't have a lot of stock) and stir to get anything stuck on the bottom of the pan into the liquid. Bring to a simmer.
8. Add whatever starch you are using (unless you're using pasta). I usually use rice, but buckwheat is great, and quinoa is too. Simmer, stirring, for 15 minutes.
9. Add cooked meat back to the pot. If using pasta, add it now. Cook about 5 minutes, until meat is hot and has taken in some of the soup juices. (You can add the meat earlier, of course, and let it cook further with the vegetables.) If you're using tofu instead of meat, add it now.
10. Dump in all your greens, if using. Cook just until wilted.
11. At this point, you are done. However, there are other optional things you can do, like crack in some eggs, stir in some cream or cheese or yogurt, add a sliced avocado and some tortilla chips, or stir in some miso (make sure it's gf!).

hey! i love doing this -- I also tend to make soup when it's crappy out and we have lots of random vegetables in the fridge. And Matt also LOVES soup too -- I thought guys never liked soup?ReplyDelete
I think I'm actually going to make this tonight with some leftover turkey (and we have some parsnips that NEED to be cooked)... I usually add a bit of pasta, but I've never used rice - great idea! You don't cook it first do you?
Allie - Nope! I always cook the rice in the soup. No sense in making more than one pan dirty!ReplyDelete
I love the idea of using things what you already have on hand to make something hearty and delicious. Your soup sounds great!ReplyDelete
I am all for recycling the fridge. Sometime your best creations are from impromptu leftovers. Nice photographyReplyDelete

This guide will teach you how to replace/install the trackball.
Place the device on a flat surface (with the headphone outlet facing you). Using one of your fingers, place the tip of your finger over the highlighted spot (as shown in the second picture). Next, pull the back cover upwards.
If the first method is too difficult, use the plastic opening tool in order to complete this step. Stick the plastic opening tool inside of the gap. (The gap is located on the top of the device which is highlighted in the second photo). Using the plastic opening tool pull the back cover upwards until the back cover pops off.
Lay the device on a flat surface with the screen facing downward. Use one hand to hold the device down in place. With your free hand use one of your fingers and stick it in the gap (as highlighted in the photo)and pull it up towards you.
The gap is located on the left side of the device in the upper left hand corner and the on the right side of the device in the upper right hand corner.
If the battery is not coming out with this technique, use the plastic opening tool to stick it in the gap and pry it up towards you.
The battery will pop out.
At the lower right hand corner of the phone (as highlighted in the picture as shown) use one hand to hold the device in place and use your finger (on your free hand) to push the micro SD card inwards until you hear a "click" sound and it pops out.
If that method is difficult, use the plastic opening tool to push the micro SD card inwards and it will make a "click" sound and pop out.
Use the T-4 screwdriver to remove the three .050 mm screws from the back cover.
Use the plastic opening tool and place it in the gap by the chrome bezels which are located on both sides of the device. Pull the plastic opening tool downward so that the plastic case will pry open. Start prying open the device and work clockwise.
With one hand holding the device in place, use your free hand to flip open the RF shield.
Peel the three pieces of silver metallic tape off of the logic board.
Do not peel off the two pieces of tape, that are located on the straightest edge of the RF shield closest to the edge of the phone.
Peel back the yellow tape. (located in the middle red highlighted box as shown)
Use your fingers to peel the two connectors on the sides away from the motherboard.
Unscrew the four 1.2mm Phillips screws with the Phillips #00 screwdriver from the motherboard.
Place the four screws in a safe place and then carefully lift up and remove the motherboard, then set it aside.
Use tweezers to grab the white sides of the trackball bracket and remove from the phone.
If this method is unsuccessful then place the device over your hand (with the screen facing downward). Make sure that the trackball is positioned directly over your hand. Now turn the device over carefully and the trackball will fall out. That will be the only thing that is loose so make sure that you are able to catch the trackball when it falls.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Toss in some goat cheese from Lazy Ewe Dairy Farm (great name), a little James Ranch beef and zucchini, some Sunnyside Farms Market pork and what do you get?
The Community Taste fundraiser – that's what. The Community Foundation Serving Southwest Colorado held its fourth annual dinner featuring local cuisine and local chefs Thursday night at the Ridgewood Event Center at Blue Lake Ranch. Shirley Isgar and David Alford were gracious hosts, decorating the tables with small vases filled with bright pink dahlias.
More than 120 people chowed down while supporting what Tim Walsworth, president and CEO of Southwest Colorado, called our "savings account for charity," and what new foundation Executive Director Briggen Wrinkle calls "the community's savings account."
On the menu – some chefs were more informative than others – were a fresh, light green salad from Cyprus Café; pasta salad from the DoubleTree Hotel; Steamworks Brewing Co.'s black bean succotash featuring produce from Thistle Whistle Farm (another great name) of Hotchkiss, including varieties of potatoes – bintje, purple Peruvian, Merlot and Ozette, sweet corn – sweet peppers and basil; chili beef with tortillas prepared by Durangourmet; slow roasted pork served over onion-and-apple sauté topped with cranberry compote (one of my personal favorites) prepared by The Palace Restaurant; sweet potato and parmesan-crusted James Ranch zucchini sliders with three-cheddar salsa, tomato-basil sauce and walnut pesto courtesy of The Yellow Carrot; smoked trout and scallion dip with crostini created by Nature's Oasis, using Rainbow Springs Trout Farm trout, scallions from the chef's backyard garden (now that's putting some effort into the food), goat cheese from the aforementioned lazy ewes and crostini from Serious Delights Bakery made with wheat from Blue Horizons Farm; and curried butternut squash bisque prepared by the chefs at Carver Brewing Co. and topped with pepitas (also known as pumpkin seeds, a popular food addition at this time of year and my other personal favorite).
I would name the chefs, but I could only read a few of the signatures, and I don't want to get it wrong!
Celebration Cakes donated the carrot cake. Carver's contributed beer, as did Ska Brewing Co. Joe's Animas Wine and Spirits and Star Liquors came through with the vino. Other sponsors included Stillwell Foot and Ankle, First National Bank of Durango (thanks for welcoming me to your table), Durango Party Rental and The Durango Herald.
Members of Durango Friends of the Arts, which manages both its Grant and Lifetime funds through the foundation, did the serving and cleanup. They included Karren Little, Dana Wilson, Cindy Cortese and President Carol Bruno.
Tim Sullivan and Narrow Gauge provided quiet music for dinner, but ramped it up to fill the dance floor afterward.
The evening was also Wrinkle's public debut. In August, she stepped into the position vacated by Lon Erwin, who is now the executive director of Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County.
Wrinkle's working on how to create a short, intriguing explanation of what the community foundation does. She's getting there, but describing just what the foundation is has been a challenge since the organization was founded in 1997.
Here's my stab at it: It's a place where nonprofits, service clubs and philanthropically minded families can create funds and endowments, watch them grow and give away the interest, allowing the principal to continue to grow.
Fortunately, whether or not everyone understands it, it's working.
In 2011, the foundation and the funds it manages gave away $400,000 in grants, $354,000 in scholarships and $561,000 in program grants. That's more than $1.3 million for the mathematically challenged.
Wrinkle is a whirlwind of energy, which is amazing when you consider the fact that she has not one, but two sets of twins with her husband John Reiter, who is the district manager at Purgatory Metro District. The twins, both sets including one boy and one girl, are 11 and 7.
Wrinkle comes to Durango via Columbus, Ohio, where she grew up, and Chicago, where she lived for 12 years, working in the nonprofit world for the Alzheimer's Association and in marketing and public relations.
The couple re-evaluated what they wanted from life in the wake of Sept. 11 and came to Durango.
In between taking care of children, Wrinkle has consulted for entities ranging from Durango High School and Fort Lewis College to Edgemont Highlands. She also has served on boards, including the Children's Museum, which became the Discovery Museum, and a number of committees for the Durango School District.
She's got a couple of main goals for her first few months. She wants to recruit three or four new members for the hard working board – call her at 375-5807 to discuss it – and is seeking donors to help with some much needed upgrades to technology and staff salaries as well as everything from postage to software systems to an ad in Durango Magazine to promote the foundation. Again, call her.
This foundation has the potential to transform the way giving works in La Plata County, building some long-term stability for the nonprofit sector. That might be the best investment of all for generous donors who want to look toward the future.
Dancing in the rain for their birthdays are Valerie Beaudette, Wardine Lee, Carol House, Katherine Siegele, Patricia Anderson, Elaine Honold, Kermit Knudsen, Art Meyer, Norma Jean Engman, Steve Sproul, Renee Knight, David Shipps, Carrie Thurman, Cathy Duggan, Ann Ruetschle, Lance Townsend, Diane Trembly, Linda Gramera, John Hughes, Carson Leavitt, Mallory Liggett, Julian Sieger, Cody Martinez, Joshua Moore, Don Simonson, Ann Wiley, Nancy Fisher, Dana Wilson and Mike Milner.
Belated greetings go out to Brynn Nelson.
Mmm, the sudden chill in the air has me even more eagerly anticipating Manna Soup Kitchen's 10th Annual Soup Supper, which will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. today at the St. Columba Gym, 1801 East Third Ave. It's easiest to go in through the back from the parking lot between the church and school.
The cost is a very reasonable $10 for people 13 and older, and $5 for children aged 3 to 12. There's live music, the gym is always festively decorated, and the soups are fabulous.
(Just to entice those wavering on whether to attend, how do seafood bisque, a vegetarian, dairy- and gluten-free coconut soup with lemon grass, turkey-corn chowder and Irish stew sound?)
Of course, because this is a fundraiser, there are a wide variety of silent and live auction items, and it's a great place to get started on your holiday shopping.
I don't know how other folks feel, but making sure no one goes hungry in our community is a core value for me. The Soup Supper is a fun and delicious way to support the folks at Manna Soup Kitchen in their quest to fill the tummies of our friends and neighbors who are going through hard times.
We have been reminded in a tragic way this week that former Peace Corps volunteers can go on to change the world, as Ambassador Chris Stevens did in his tireless work toward peace in Libya and the Middle East. He began his interest in the region by teaching English in Morocco during his two-year stint in the organization started by Sargent Shriver in 1961.
To date, more than 210,000 Americans have served in 75 nations around the world, including many who now live in Durango.
During the coming week, Lauren Dorosz, the regional recruiter will be in town to answer questions for folks interested in exploring the possibilities of a Peace Corps commitment.
It's no longer just a young person's opportunity. The average age is now 28, about 7 percent of volunteers are older than 50 and 7 percent of the volunteers go as married couples, as Jeff and Deb Schultz did a few years ago in Jamaica.
Dorosz will be at Fort Lewis College for its Job Fair on Wednesday and will hold a community information session from 6:30 to 8 p.m. later that day at the Durango Community Recreation Center. Anyone who is interested, not just for the immediate future, but perhaps sometime in the future, is invited to attend.
And if you're an RPCV – that's Peace Corps talk for Returned Peace Corps Volunteer – Dorosz is organizing a potluck from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday in the Sunlight Room at the rec center. Attendees are asked to bring a dish to share and/or a nonalcoholic beverage, and your own plates and utensils. When I've written about these potlucks in the past, the menu usually consisted of a wide array of international dishes representing all the countries where attendees serve.
To learn more, contact Dorosz at firstname.lastname@example.com or (720) 998-6776. You also can check out the Peace Corps at www.peacecorps.gov.
Cuddling to share body heat during these chilly nights as well as to celebrate their anniversaries are Todd and Jessica Sharp, Frank and Ricci Dawson, Mark Dickmann and Eve Gilmore, Bruce and Annette Nye and Jim and Dorothy Gore.
Here's how to reach me: email@example.com; phone 375-4584; mail items to the Herald; or drop them off at the front desk. Please include contact names and phone numbers for all items.
I am happy to consider photos for Neighbors, but they must be high-quality, high-resolution photos.
