Cancer care is rapidly becoming more integrated and more specialised; whether their field is research, diagnosis, treatment, care, or advocacy, oncology professionals need to both build their specialist knowledge and connect with the best practitioners in other disciplines worldwide.
The Frontiers in Cancer Science (FCS) conference makes these objectives possible and serves as an excellent platform to converge the latest cancer discoveries around the world. The event is jointly organised by the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore, National University of Singapore (CSI Singapore), Duke-NUS Medical School, Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) and National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS).
Inaugurated in 2009 to seek insights about the ongoing and future prospect of cancer research worldwide, the event gathers some of the world's top cancer experts to share their latest advances and breakthroughs in the areas of cancer science, stem cell research and anti-cancer drug discoveries.
"Our main objectives and aspirations are to bring together leading cancer researchers from around the world to share recent advances, facilitate collaborations, and help Singapore cancer researchers build further international networks," shared Professor David M. Virshup, FCS 2017 Organizing Committee Chair from Duke-NUS Medical School.
"The conference aims to accelerate the transfer of new knowledge between scientists at the benches, and the clinician scientists who are testing new therapies in patients. Oncologists and other healthcare professionals will have the opportunity to hear first-hand what exciting advances are being translated into new clinical therapies."
Galvanising cancer research effortsAs one of only five institutions in Singapore awarded a $172 million "Research Centre of Excellence" grant by the government, CSI Singapore is dedicated to investigating the pathogenesis of cancer and creating innovative, safer methods of diagnosis and treatment. Established on 15 October 2008, over 200 scientists and researchers engage in life-saving work daily at the institute spearheaded by Professor Daniel G. Tenen, a world-leader in the field of transcriptional regulation, hematopoiesis and cancer.
The institution aims to deliver research leading to better cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, by recruiting outstanding talent and providing world-class training programs to nurture the next generation of research innovators. Home to world-renowned scientists and awardees of Singapore's prestigious talent development program, the STaR Investigators, CSI Singapore endeavours to revolutionise the landscape of biomedical research and position Singapore as a global leader.
"The annual FCS conference has been instrumental in bringing the cancer research community together and helping CSI Singapore to share key achievements and future hopes for cancer research, supporting cross-pollination and joined-up research efforts for nine years running. I hope that the conference continues to deliver a powerful means of shaping the future of cancer research and drive forward progress. This year, I look forward to promote the exchange of new research and clinical developments and ideas in clinical oncology and cancer research," highlighted Prof Tenen.
Key conference highlightsThe three-day conference, which is now in its 9th year, will be held from 6th to 8th November 2017 at the Matrix Auditorium, Biopolis. An expected turnout of over 600 local and international delegates will have the opportunity to learn from 32 of the foremost local and international cancer experts as they share their newest findings and gain invaluable networking opportunities.
"Singapore has robust collaborations between busy doctors and distinguished academics. Meetings like FCS can make this even better by enhancing knowledge transfer, and we can't underestimate the importance of face-to-face discussions between front line doctors, and laboratory based scientists," Prof Virshup remarked.
Throughout the three-day event, discussions will revolve around methods and strategies related to management, quality improvement of cancer as well as to explore the new ideas and concepts on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancers and its innovative techniques.
FCS participants can look forward to a rewarding experience and gain useful insights through power-packed talks by prominent local and international speakers. The major discussion points will be based on the novel advancements in oncology, and will also include oral talks, poster presentations and exhibitions.

lsss needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 257 designs submitted by 76 freelance designers.
I am launching my own fashion label and need a logo. My style is over the top with an edge, I use lots of print, neon color, studs and stones. Everything is sexy. I have had a few friends work up some ideas. One was printing just the negative space around and inside my very bold name which I liked a lot, wouldn't mind seeing seeing more development there. I can't decide if I want something over the top or more basic that I can make interesting with techniques. I definitely don't want the same clean logo most fashion designers have now. I would also like a mark, like Chanel's double Cs. I want something bold, nothing scipty or overly girly
My line is contemporary, for fashiony women in their 20s and 30s
Something original that reflects my sensibility, preferably with a mark but that's not required.

The March of Objects
A familiar eye in luminescent, freshly hewn copper stares up from a wooden cradle against a backdrop of anthropomorphic lions ripped from the palace walls of Sargon II, an Assyrian king who ruled in the 7th century BCE. This is probably the most striking installment of Danh Vo's We the People in Chicago—an indefinite project brought to Chicago as a collaboration between the Art Institute of Chicago and the Renaissance Society that reconstructs the Statue of Liberty's façade and installs segments of the icon around the world. Hammered in repoussage to the thickness of two pennies, pieces of the remade Lady Liberty are stationed in Chicago until mid-December in the Pritzker Garden at the Art Institute of Chicago (September 23, 2012–Sunday, November 11, 2012 – after which it will move to the Bluhm Family Terrace). There are sections of the face, gown and others at the Oriental Institute, Booth School of Business and the UoC Law School at the University of Chicago, each installment lending different contextualizations to the iconography of the famous symbol. These installations coincide with Vo's solo exhibition at the Renaissance Society entitled Uterus.
Uterus is sparse and open. A tunnel of intriguing correspondences between Henry Kissinger and Leonard Lyons, a lifestyle columnist for the New York Post, leads into the open, womb-like gallery. The lighting is purely ambient, no spotlights and no dividers. The works populate the edges of the gallery like a fringe of curiosities. A collection of 19th century animal traps, a stack of firescaled copper bars that weigh the equivalent of the flame from the Statue of Liberty's torch, a photo of Vo's cousin staring out a window, a bouquet from a Lincoln Park florist, a sweetened condensed milk box containing a pair of cement legs adorned with silver nail polish—the march of objects continued.
Danh Vo, For Susanne, 2012, Gold, cardboard, 40 flower stems, dimensions variable; Courtesy of the Renaissance Society.
I had the opportunity to be guided through Uterus by Mr. Vo, a kind man in his mid-30's with a penchant for collecting old museum hygrometers. He took me around each piece, relating each acquisition story excitedly. The image of his cousin occurred when he asked Vo if he would "like to see his wing" during a visit to the artist's home. He lifted up his shirt and dislocated his shoulder blade, popping out his scapula in front of a window. The phrase and the image struck him and so the work was made, or taken. This often seems to be Vo's process: more often than not a collector of artistic moments and an installer of objects rather than a maker of objects. The image of Vo's cousin is not framed, not even the printing info was cut from the photo paper sheet.
The iron traps, rusted and worn with paper tags detailing price and purpose (i.e.: "Bear Head Trap", $1200) are arranged on the floor amidst metal clamps and logging paraphernalia. None of the traps are set; they are innocuous but reminiscent of the cruelty of a past existence that is now hidden behind abstractions and rhetoric. I walk cautiously around the collection as Vo steps heavily between the vicious metal objects. The artist purchased them from a shop in Montana during his cross-country road trip to this exhibition.
When asked if narrative was important to his work, as it seemed with each object a story unfolded and became central to the meaning of the work, he replied quickly that narrative wasn't the goal. "It's a fallacy. Why represent things narratively if that's not how we experience the world? It's stupid." The space between each work was beginning to make sense. The isolation of each constellation of objects needed the emptiness to be defined, to find some sort of coalescence. The empty womb of the gallery became the creative space in which the art of the installation was birthed.
I spoke with Susanne Ghez, Director of the Renaissance Society, regarding Uterus and We the People and she commented on the precision and detail with which Vo installs his work by relating: "You know the flower piece? There was a Gordon's Gin box right next to it that was a little off-kilter and I can't tell you how many times I wanted to move that box and straighten it out but I just knew that that was deliberate so I finally asked him and indeed it was deliberate. So every little thing is done expressly and you feel that when you walk in."
Vo's work rests in an uneasy area as far as the art world is concerned. By ignoring conventions of making, presentation and installation when needed yet exploiting those same conventions to the aesthetic benefit of his work, he plays with the practice of contemporary art to exceedingly amazing manifestations. Truly, Vo's work reminds us that the locus of art is not within an object, but in the artful contemplation of experience.

Three installations of fragments of "We The People" will be on display across campus in addition to "Uterus," a solo exhibition of Vo's work at The Renaissance Society gallery; Photo courtesy of The Renaissance Society)

Partner may revoke this right at any time, in writing, for any future use. In such case SharePop will cease such use within a reasonable period of time. Furthermore, for the term of the Agreement, SharePop shall be entitled to display Partner's name and images of Partner's websites within the Advertising Platform.
18.1 Partner covenants that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after its end, it will not solicit, attempt to solicit, induce or attempt to induce any of SharePop's Advertisers, i.e. the parties for which SharePop has provided Advertisements to Partner in order to enter into agreements with such Advertisers about the performance of advertising services similar to Partner's activities under this Agreement.
18.2 For each breach of section 18.1 above, SharePop shall be entitled to liquidate damages from Partner. The amount of liquidated damages will be determined by multiplying the monthly average receivable by Partner from the concerned Advertiser by 12.

If the breach has been going on for a shorter period, the monthly average will be calculated based on such shorter period. If Partner can prove that SharePop's actual damages were lower than the liquidated damages amount, then Partner shall only be obliged to pay to SharePop such lower amount instead of the liquidated damages. If SharePop can prove that its actual damages are higher than the liquidated damages amount, then Partner shall be obliged to pay such higher amount instead of the liquidated damages amount.
18.3 Sections 18.1 and 18.2 shall not apply where Partner can show that Partner has been working with the concerned Advertisers prior to the beginning of the relationship between Partner and SharePop.
19.1 SharePop holds the right to apply its Partner Guidelines in order to maintain its service and protect its members. Partners must be and remain aware of SharePop's Partner Guidelines and comply accordingly.
19.2 SharePop reserves the right to make changes to the Partner Guidelines in accordance with this Agreement. If Partner does not agree with updated Partner Guidelines, Partner must cease usage of the Advertising Platform.
20.1 SharePop's omission to act with respect to a breach by Partner does not waive SharePop's right to act with respect to such breach or subsequent or similar breaches. No consent or waiver by SharePop under the Agreement shall be deemed effective unless delivered in writing and signed by a duly appointed representative of SharePop.
20.2 Neither party shall be entitled to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without prior written approval by the other party except that SharePop may assign the rights and obligations under this Agreement upon notice to Partner.
20.3 Partner shall not be entitled to offset its payment claims against the payment claims of SharePop unless such claims of Partner are uncontested or have been legally established in a final court decision or otherwise.
20.4 Chapter headings used in the T&C are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of the T&C.
20.5 The rights and obligations of the Agreement cannot be transferred or entrusted to third party, or be used as security.
20.6 If any provision of the T&C shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then in such jurisdiction that provision shall be deemed severable from the T&C and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
20.7 Except as otherwise agreed under this Agreement, any changes or amendments to the Agreement (partly or entirely) require an agreement between the parties in writing (letter, fax or e-mail).
20.8 Partner shall not be entitled to offset its payment claims against the payment claims of SharePop unless such claims of Partner are uncontested or have been legally established in a final court decision or otherwise.

Randallstown Man Sentenced to Prison for Assaulting a Federal Officer on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway
Greenbelt, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte sentenced Jesse Lee Bell, age 39, of Randallstown, Maryland, today to one year in prison, followed by six months of community confinement, and three years of supervised release, for assaulting a federal officer.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Chief Teresa Chambers of the U.S. Park Police.
According to his plea agreement, on August 27, 2011, at 3:13 a.m. Bell was pulled over by a U.S. Park Police officer on the Baltimore Washington Parkway, after the officer saw Bell's pick-up truck drift out of its lane, straddle the lane marking, and then jerk back into its lane. The officer smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the car as he stood next to the driver's window. In response to the officer's questions, Bell stated that he had a beer hours earlier, but said there was no alcohol or drugs in the truck. The officer ordered Bell to get out of his truck to perform field sobriety tests. Bell became nervous, did not get out of the truck, and ignored the officer's repeated commands to unlock the door. As the officer was reaching in through the open window to unlock the door, Bell drove onto the highway, with the officer's arm still inside the truck. The truck struck the officer, who spun around and fell to the ground in the right lane of the highway. The officer saw cars coming toward him at highway speeds, but the drivers were able to swerve into the left lane to avoid striking the officer. The officer turned around and saw Bell driving northbound on the highway with his headlights turned off. The officer and a backup followed Bell, who eventually pulled onto the shoulder of the road again. The officers got the defendant out of the truck and arrested him.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the U.S. Park Police for its work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Hollis R. Weisman, who is prosecuting the case.

Is National Public Radio (NPR) biased?
Ask its supporters -- many of whom are on the political left in the United States -- and they will tell you the publicly funded network is a model of balance and journalistic integrity. Ask its critics -- many of whom are on the political right – and they will tell you it is hopelessly biased in support of progressive causes.
An August 1, 2014, story on the network's All Things Considered show on the influence of America and evangelicalism on Brazilian politics gives credence to conservative claims of bias. It is hard not to see this NPR story as being anything other than mendacious agitprop. Unbalanced, lacking in historical and legal context and factually challenged -- this story is a mess.
The charges of bias at NPR are not new. In 2011 the question of NPR's alleged biased animated conservative news organizations after the NPR Foundation's senior vice president Ron Schiller was caught out by Project Veritas giving voice to hard left sympathies.
The Daily Caller's Matthew Boyle at the time reported:
On the tapes, Schiller wastes little time before attacking conservatives. The Republican Party, Schiller says, has been "hijacked by this group." The man posing as Malik finishes the sentence by adding, "the radical, racist, Islamaphobic, Tea Party people." Schiller agrees and intensifies the criticism, saying that the Tea Party people aren't "just Islamaphobic, but really xenophobic, I mean basically they are, they believe in sort of white, middle-America gun-toting. I mean, it's scary. They're seriously racist, racist people."
Schiller subsequently stepped down from his post, and while NPR denied its news reporting skewed to the left, the revelations did not come as a surprise to some media watchers. The New York Times's David Carr, observed that it was "true to a point" that NPR's world view was formed by a "squishy liberal ideology."
In terms of assignments and sensibility, NPR has always been more blue than red, but it's not as if it has an overt political agenda.
Has anything changed in the past three years? The All Things Considered segment entitled "As Evangelical Clout Grows, Brazil May Face New Culture Wars" suggests the problem remains. The consequence of this bias – in this case a reflexive suspicion of evangelicals – means NPR muffed the story.

text: It is so difficult to get into the holiday spirit with all the problems I faced in this world. On one hand, I have problems with management at work who won't utilize my experience as an entomologist. They instead use me 85% of the time to do the technician's work, since the they don't want to work. It resulted in losing my board certification and cheapens my growth and experience as an entomologist. On the other hand, my aunt in Wisconsin has suffered a heart attack today and was rushed into emergency surgery at a hospital in Green Bay. I am planning to quit my job to go somewhere else where my talents could be better utilized. It is more likely I will be moving back to Wisconsin, not only to be close to my family; but I have a better chance to feel more happy with a different employment opportunity. Please keep me and my family in your prayers as we get through this tough time. Many thanks for reading this post.

State Rep. Shawn Dooley announced that the Norfolk, Plainville and Walpole fire departments have a received a total of over $19,000 in grant money from the Baker-Polito administration to put towards their Student Awareness of Fire Education and Senior SAFE programs.
The SAFE program was created over two decades ago to help reduce annual child fire deaths by ensuring all young students are adequately educated in the area of fire safety. According to the administration, this program has helped reduce such deaths by 72 percent since its inception. Similarly, the Senior SAFE program was created to educate senior citizens on fire prevention and how to be better prepared in the event of a fire.

Bonnet House Museum & Gardens is a historic house museum in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The thirty-five acre estate was once the winter home of American artist Frederic Clay Bartlett and his wife Evelyn Fortune Bartlett, also an artist. Frederic designed the house in 1920 using his interpretation of Caribbean plantation style architecture. Both Bartletts embellished the home over the years with decorative flourishes and eclectic furnishings. In 1983, Mrs. Bartlett moved to preserve the estate and remained a winter resident until 1995. She passed away in 1997 at the age of 109. Since then, the home has been opened year-round to visitors and currently welcomes over 70,000 visitors annually.

Admissions, gift shop sales, event registrations, class scheduling, and property rental was being tracked and managed manually or using Excel.
The Bonnet House had been utilizing The Raiser's Edge for membership and fundraising since 2006. However, its systems for the gift shop sales, admissions, event registration, and The Raiser's Edge did not integrate with the Museum's accounting software making visitation, gift shop sales, and marketing reports difficult or lacking.
The Bonnet House selected Altru by Blackbaud to deliver an all-in-one, unified database to track, manage and store membership, fundraising, gift shop sales, registration, scheduling and financial information.
By putting all of their separate systems into one database, the museum will be able get a full 360 degree view of constituent interactions, museum usage, visitation and financial stability.
Membership enhancements available through Altru will allow for easier on-line renewal and class registration to boost earned revenue, according Patrick Shavloske, director of development for the Bonnet House.
The museum's marketing initiatives will be easier to evaluate and enable better decision making.
In less than two months of going live with ticketing through Altru, the museum has already gained new insight into visitor patterns and discount program effectiveness.

Soon as I got off the plane I met one of my best friends from high school, Heather, and her boyfriend Todd. Their flight from California got in around the same time so they graciously carted me around with them that afternoon before dropping me off at the Beckers' house where I stayed.
First, Heather wanted to drive by her old house in River Forest. As always the new owners weren't home. But this is where I spent many happy hours as a teenager...
This gives you an idea of what the residential streets in River Forest look like..
I meandered through the streets where I used to walk during lunch and after school, stopping for a slice of coffeecake at the Red Hen Bakery and then enjoying a book and gorgeous weather in Scoville Park. I remember when I was a sophomore I came to this park and rolled like a log down this hill, and played touch football with Chris Fortuna and Kevin Wyrag. Neither of whom attended the reunion!
This is from inside the park, looking towards some of the shops and restaurants we frequented back then.
The sunshine was heavenly, the air balmy and comfortable, and the trees just starting to turn.
After a nice lunch with Tashi, her two kids, and her mom, I hit the el (the elevated train) and visited the Art Institute.
One of the guys I train with and a good friend is also an art student so I definitely paid attention to more and different kinds of art on this trip. And I normally don't take pictures of the art that I liked, but it seemed like the right thing to do this trip. I took pictures of the placard next to each piece, too.
Some I just know by heart.. like this is a classic by Georgia O'Keefe.
OMG the light in this picture...
After I wiped the drool off my chin, I headed back into Oak Park to get ready for the official pre-party, at O'Sullivan's. There, I met up with Tashi again, as well as Deno and Allison Andrews (both my classmates!)
Heather, Chris, Tashi and Bubba (aka James Heyward Murray IV.)
My high school. :) Alma mater of Hemingway among others!
The main entrance. (Most everything looks just the same!)
We first gathered in the student activity center for an alumni tour.
The special room where Green and Latin are taught. (Yes, my high school was bad ass... they also teach Mandarin, Italian, Russian..)
The student television station..
Ironically one of the girls in my class is still at Oak Park-- as a teacher... Ms. Katie O'Keefe :)
The art department is amazing too. Here's some of their projects... excuse the glare on the glass.
After tooling around the school, we traipsed through the Farmer's Market across the street. Famous for a reason! Here's the bluegrass band..
Heather all glamorous...
Tashi, Heather and I kept a lunchtime tradition intact by visiting Tasty Dog (albeit in a new location across the street from its former digs) and having a burger and fries. Man, the same guys are still working there. Scary.
Then we had to shop for something Heather wanted to wear to the reunion, which carried us far enough out of Oak Park that I didn't feel too guilty to ask Tashi if we could run by my old house, out in Westchester.
Mind you, my mother passed away in April of my senior year in high school. I have never in twenty years forgotten that she has passed away... until the day of my 20th reunion, when I thought instinctively "I should call Mom and tell her the blah-di-blah store is torn down now." And then I mentally recoiled-- what the HELL is wrong with me that I didn't remember my mom is dead?! Don't bother telling me I'm irrational, I already know. I felt awful regardless of how innocent a thought it was. It was incredibly bittersweet-- well, just sad, not bitter, and a little sweet... so I guess it was sadsweet-- to go by my old house.
Here's the maple trees I planted from SEEDS when I was around 8 years old. They're marching down the parkway next to the house, at least 3 stories tall, looking fabulous if I say so myself.
And here's my house... a little two bedroom, one bath Georgian... with a finished basement. My mom had the garage built, and lots of other stuff was different back then... but it's still the house I grew up in from age 8 to 18.
The view down my street, standing in front of my house (which is to the right.)
Having cried over everything I could cry about, we headed back to Oak Park for some Peterson's Ice Cream and then the Frank Lloyd Wright tour. First some houses near Peterson's.
Peterson's is a venerable institution, with an authentic pressed tin ceiling, crystal chandeliers, and delicious treats for your tongue.
Then we just walked up two blocks and back down, on the way to the FLW studio and home. Can I say again how FREAKING AMAZING the architecture all over Oak Park and River Forest is????? My head was hanging out.
This is the Moore-Dugal residence, an actual FLW home. GORGEOUS.
Then I don't know if this is FLW but it's beautiful.
This IS FLW.
Here's a beautiful FLW...
And here is FLW's home and studio.
After our tour, I went home to the Beckers' and took a little nap.. showered and changed for the reunion, held in Healy's. Out front they parked the reunion car, driven by two mascot Huskies... welll, they look more like Schnauzers to me, but no one asked...
John Rafter, one of the guys who made my life in physics just a little more bearable (except for the brutality with which he played the hand slap game...)
Oh, and Dan Wendt... he sat behind me in Spanish. Another super smart hot guy. What was I thinking in high school? Well, I wasn't ever brave enough.
And my buddy Jody Starks :)
Heather and Jason Rosado.
I wore my nametag but peeled the picture off. Ben did not.
Heather, Tashi, Ben and I had to leave at 10:30 because I desperately wanted a slice of French silk pie from Baker's Square, which had long since left Oak Park and now closed at the unseasonably early hour of midnight! So here we go on my adventure.
But it was a nice quick drive and fortunately I got my pie :)
I tell you, many many people had had one or two too many! Dan got very friendly. He made even Tashi blush.
Who knows what he's doing to Chang here.
Tashi and Heather might recognize this picture and know what it stands for. No one else will, don't bother guessing. It has nothing to do with the funeral home.
Anyway, a good time was had by all, and at the crack of dawn the next day, Andrea Becker brought me to the airport and I was winging away to Florida for my Uncle Louis' funeral. He passed away quietly sleeping in his chair at 93, leaving behind his widow Orie (they'd been married 51 years) and two sons, Jerry and Little Lou.
Here's me and my Oden cousins on the morning of the funeral-- David, me, Carolyn, Liz, and Jerry.
Much family drama was to be had. Including over the final resting place for my uncle's ashes. Here's the church's "memorial garden" where my aunt had him interred.
This would be considered a more classic cottage-y style though obviously bigger and renovated more than the older homes. Very Key West in style.
We had a nice dinner out that evening with a family friend, Don Turner, and I called it a night pretty early. Got up and went to the other coast the next morning to visit my mom's sister, my Aunt Pat, in Boca Raton. She plied me with French toast and peaches and home made meatloaf sandwiches, and kept me full of family stories too. It was a delightful visit. But it continued the theme of missing people who are no longer with me.
So, all in all, a good trip, but a sad one. And now I'm home. I didn't train a stitch while I was gone, though I'm playing catchup now.
I miss my mom and dad and gramma and uncle.

BFF's, Han + Diana
BFFs, living in different cities, equipped with digital cameras, healthy appetites and a mutual adoration for food. They review restaurants from New York, Boston and elsewhere in their delicious journey through life.
How did you and Diana meet? Where are you two from originally?
Diana and I met in 8th grade! Diana called me a "dumbutt," I couldn't argue with her assessment (pun intended!), and we became the best of friends ever since!
Tell us more about your blog! How/why did you start it?
We've been taking pictures of food since the early age of digital cameras (before it was cool, and was heavily frowned upon), and we started the food blog as a place to share our pictures and chronicle our eating – as a food journal of sorts for ourselves, and for anyone who enjoys good food.
How has your blog Han+Diana brought you two closer together?
Our lives have become increasingly busy, professionally and personally (Diana got married last year!), so it's nice to have something stay constant – to be able to share something with only each other that we both can contribute to and continue to develop together.
How often do you get to see each other?
We'd love to see each other more often, but probably at least a few times a year now, especially during our annual trek to Texas to visit family during the holidays. Our Christmas tradition is to get together, bake up a sweet feast and eat the night away. We also try to do weekend food trips – which we are planning for Labor Day this year, and I can't wait!
If you could describe each other as any being any food dish, what would the other be?
Diana would be a yeast doughnut – full of light and a real treat.
Han would be hot chocolate fudge – she's the best medicine for all times, and no one can resist her goodness and warmth!
What are some of your other hobbies?
Lately, I've been focusing on watercolor puns and calligraphy. Diana has newly discovered the joys of hiking.
Here's their blog!

It was cheap place to stay while my vehicle was undergoing major surgery. Room was dated and not exactly clean. Ditto for the bathroom. Linens were stained. I'd call it an elegant camp but be sure to keep your shoes on or the dirty grass...More
This place is disgusting! We arrived late, call a cell #, a man appeared out of nowhere and asked me to come into the closed diner! Wanted cash only.... The room was dirty, musty, smelled awful, lots of flies. Furniture was broken, spreads were stained!...More
Room itself was what you'd expect for $80/night; sparse, cracked paint on door frames, thin soap, and creaky furniture. There were no blankets on bed, just cheap bedspreads. One blanket that was in the closet was loosely folded and musty - like it hadn't been...More
This place is probably, the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. The cost was $55, with tax, and the room was dirty. Dirty floors, cigarettes stains on the dirty carpet. Stains all over the bed spreads and covered with lint. Handle fell off...More
Lighting was poor, no clock or radio, had to ask for towels and toilet paper and kleenex. The rug was filthy. The shower was broken. Definitely would not stay there again.
Very clean, super comfortable beds, fridge, free wifi.
Close to Howe Caverns, Secret Cavern and other attractions.
Free wifi of high quality.
I highly recommend this hotel and Howe Caverns.

Debbie Tuch is one of the sweetest ladies around (pun intended). A food jewelry pioneer since 1996, she started Glitterlimes, a jewelry line made from real fruit slices and candy from around the world coated in glittery resin. This followed her earning a BFA in Jewelry and Metals from Rhode Island School of Design and then bopping from California back to New York, where she settled. Glitterlimes is now based out of her Greenpoint, Brooklyn studio. We can't get enough of her adorable jewelry and sat with her for a little Q&A about how the world of Glitterlimes came to be!
How long have you been creating and how did you get your start?
I've been creating all my life but Glitterlimes started in 1996 following a jewelry/metalsmithing degree at RISD. The first lime was made there. Then, I moved to San Francisco and became fascinated by all the markets and international groceries. It has been unfolding ever since.
What's your most memorable experience as a vendor?
There have been so many great memories from vending since I've been there. I love the ladies that find me after 15 years of wearing their first Glitterlime from the American folk art museum. Its been sort of an ongoing "this is your life" episode as people come through and have stories relating to their Glitterlimes.
What is your favorite part about selling at markets?
I love meeting everyone that comes through the market. Since I work with food everyone has personal nostalgia related to something on display. The relationships grow when you have a physical store. It makes production more inspiring knowing there are many smiling faces awaiting them.
Where do you see your brand in 10 years?
I honestly see it continuing in the same way it has been. New candies and fruits have kept the focus fresh fir decades. There is always something new to showcase in resin.
Do you remember your first ever sale? Tell us about it!
The first GL sale was in San Fran, a RISD alumni sale. I had 20 citrus pins, the same price as i sell them today. They all sold and the rest is history.
What new projects/pieces are you working on?
These days I have some beautiful new Japanese candy necklaces. Gorgeous colors that stay true. They are send from Japan along with peace cranes.
When is the first time you saw someone wearing one of your pieces outside of the market environment?
I see people all the time on the subways etc... When i first moved here in 2010 I decorated a huge Christmas tree in Lincoln Square. So that was a lovely out-of-market sighting. Glitterlimes have been circulating for 20 years all over the world, so they show up from time to time. We've worked with Lady Gaga and Madonna. When i was younger I used to give them to everyone. John Waters, David Byrne, Tammy Faye Baker. The list goes on!

A few short weeks ago, the U.S. Senate defeated not one, but four attempts to strip EPA of authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions as a harmful pollutant. Three of these attempts were temporary delays on EPA action, and one would have permanently stripped EPA of their authority.
The three bills focused on delaying EPA action were: the Baucus amendment (defeated 7-93); the Stabenow amendment (defeated 7-93); and the Rockefeller amendment (defeated 12-88). These three amendments would have placed a two-year ban – or moratorium – on EPA efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The McConnell amendment, on the other hand, would have permanently stripped EPA from their authority to regulate greenhouse gasses under the Clean Air Act. This amendment was barely defeated, by a 50-50 vote (60 votes would have been needed to pass).
The U.S. Senate stopped these amendments from limiting the EPA's authority to control greenhouse gas emissions. Indiana's Senators, however, supported these measures. Both Lugar and Coats voted in support of the McConnell amendment. And the language in these amendments is likely to reappear – but this time, attached to the budget bill or the debt ceiling bill, which will make it harder to remove or veto.
While Congress is on break, we have a chance to reach our legislators right in their districts. Call the district offices of Senators Lugar and Coates, and call your U.S. Representative. Urge them to oppose any riders in the budget bill and the debt bill that would revoke EPA's authority or reduce funding for their efforts!

The Remark...
This having been said, the first question that needs to be asked is: How inherently anti-Semitic was Lukashenka's remark about Bobrusk and Jews?
The first answer is that it was incredibly anti-Semitic. It singled out Jews, described them as dirty, irresponsible people and implied that Belarus has been better off or at least more capable without them. From the Jewish perspective these are not only repetitions of ancient themes and negative stereotypes which have followed them from times of the blood libel, but to hear it from a modern, 21st century international figure is both shocking and remarkably inappropriate. And more so, hearing this at a time when Russia has been supplying uranium to Iran, the remark comes close to sounding like a declaration of war. Most probably Israel's recalling of its ambassador would have been therefore a reasonable and appropriate answer.
But before we become hysterical, we should ask some more questions. Firstly, did Lukashenka know what he was doing by singling out the Jews, or was it simply an irresponsible slip of the tongue?
First let's assume that the remark was intentional but that it was not intended as an insult to Jews. Taking the statement literally, we see that it is actually a call for wealthy Jews to come back and enter into an economic competition for Belarusian ownership. Currently Belarus has strong economic ties to two inherently anti-Semitic "friends": Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Mohamed Ahmadinejad in Iran. Chavez according to a speech last year wholly buys into the "Jewish circles of power" conspiracy theory and of course Ahmadinejad based his elections platform on the promise of wiping Israel off the map.
(As an aside, one local rabbi once told me that he likes reading about Jewish conspiracy theories on the net:
"I go on the internet because I am bored and tired and I hate that I have no money and can't do very much. When I go to these anti-Semitic sites I can read how I am really rich and powerful and have control over the whole world. This makes me feel much better.")
Looking at it this way, the president's remarks could have meant that if the Jewish community is not careful, the country could go completely against Israel politically. In this situation, the president would only be inviting increased investment on the Jewish side for the purposes of equalizing the playing field and stopping these two "evil" countries from completely taking over their native homeland. If this is so, we are not speaking of anti-Semitism, but rather the creation of a situation where Lukashenka is simply playing one side against the other; Belarus coming out the benefactor in either case. This I guess would also be a standard sales methodology for the arms trade; in the gun business, friction always equals profits.
A second avenue is to consider is whether the president was simply using plain talk?
Though the actual percentage of genuine ethnic Belarusians is only about 25% (the death toll in the war, Stalin's re-seeding' the territory after and outward immigration primarily responsible), there is still such a thing as a Belarusian mind set. People here do have a habit of referring to others by a physical trait such as the color of their hair, or of course by their ethnicity. In the much more multi-ethnic west, this is called profiling but here it is thought of as "plain talking". When using this way of identifying each other though, there is also an additional sub question which asks if the group in question is real or strong. This particular cultural facet is shown brilliantly in the late Serei Bodrov's mafia masterpiece "Brat II". In a conversation with a Russian prostitute in Chicago, Bodrov asks why it is so wrong in America to use the word "Nigger"
- "You can't call him a nigger."
"And who is he then?"
"He's an American."
"And what's the difference?"
"Nigger, for people outside of their own kind is a bad word to use"
"But we learned this in school a long time ago: From China comes Chinese. From Germany, Germans. From Israel, Jews. So here is a nigger."
"To me it seems as though their strength lies in their circle. They live like animals, but they have something we long ago lost and therefore they are strong. And they can feel that this (word) makes you afraid."
But what if it was wasn't anti-Semitism, plain talk or business?
In the opinion of one high ranking member of the local Jewish community, who insisted on only be referred to as a businessman, despite referencing Jews specifically, the president in this case was simply crowing about how beautiful the new Bobrusk was. And in fact, he thought the president was absolutely right in general with all of his comments: Belarus these days is much cleaner than Israel and Bobrusk, before getting a facelift courtesy of the state, had been a slum. The main point to him was absolutely that the president had the right to crow over the rebuilding accomplishment and that by inviting Jews who had previously run away to return to Belarus, the president was demonstrating his openness towards the Jewish nation and religion. Bobrusk by the way still has one of the larger Jewish populations in the state; there are two synagogues and at least several hundred Jews still in residence.
He also pointed out that the country has elected several Jewish mayors which means that, right along with the natural tendency toward profiling, there would also seem to be a belief that hiring a Jew to do the job might not be such a bad idea. This is actually the case in Pinsk as Konevski, the number 2 man in the government happens to be Jewish. Konevski is proud of his heritage and once made a rather famous speech saying that though the Jewish community has only 1.5% of the population, in terms of accomplishment, it seems much, much bigger. When we first actually met in fact, his remark to me, in typical Jewish fashion, was that he was surprised that Pinsk had not heard more from me. I guess he doesn't read the English language internet.
As for myself on this subject, well, I don't really like speaking in such general terms but frankly, the students at the new Pinsk Yeshiva have been notorious for leaving the synagogue littered with clothes, empty bottles, packages, overfull ashtrays and cigarette buts. Though supposedly a holy place, they obviously had a general disinterest except for Shabbos and holidays in the condition and cleanliness of the room. This was especially true of a room above the synagogue which in theory had been set aside for special guests. Once the students found out there was a computer with an internet connection there, that area became a veritable pigsty.
Of course acting like pigs is not restricted locally only to the Jews; Pinsk as a whole seems to completely misunderstand that garbage needs to find its way to a proper receptacle. Almost anywhere you look you see discarded wrappers or broken glass, even where children would play or along the beaches. Even keeping people from urinating or throwing their garbage into our garden requires constant vigilance.
So what is the answer?
It is just as possible that the remark was much more crowing about the state's rebuilding efforts than it was about hatred or even exploitation of Jews. Bobrusk, like all of Belarus has been undergoing a facelift over the last few years and the president's presence there was in fact to commemorate this accomplishment. It is also possible that the president simply dropped into the vernacular and said something that would be taken by locals as a completely normal or even a clever business idea. However, despite "understanding" potentially where the remark was coming from I really wish he had not said what he did. The remark was crass. Of this there is no doubt. Almost all the civic centers in Belarus from the time of the Pale of Settlement until the holocaust were Jewish centers but now are not specifically because of the times before, during and after the Pale of Settlement and the holocaust. Unfortunately, no matter how much you want to believe that there is no difference between calling a Ukrainian a Banderovtsi a or a Polak a Pisheky, I think there really is a difference when speaking of Jews and the former Soviet Union. I would also seriously prefer not to believe that we are revisiting Berlin in 1932.
I am also not sure, if it was just "business", that I personally would be willing to respond to such a challenge with my wallet. To me it sounds like a con. Maybe a Russian or a Polak could be bated into such a deal, but I personally wouldn't. To me, though I understand that Belarus is now open to "all kinds" of potential investors, I would much rather bet on a transparent and honest business plan, one that had a potential for mutual gain and had some real assurances against theft, abuse and corruption. Personally I would much rather invest in a trustworthy situation than in a circus. And quite frankly, remarks like this make me very, very, very nervous.
So I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens next. Israel is very, very angry but it is not clear whether or not Belarus wishes to do something about that. For the sake of my own, rational fears about any sorts of steps taken towards World War III, I certainly hope they do. But regardless of actual intention or whether or not we get an apology, like it or not, the man who said what he did is the president of the beautiful and interesting Republic of Belarus and he gets to run things as he likes. This, for sure we all know is the case.

Love the site. My first story on here...all true. Enjoy...
My girlfriend is amazingly beautiful. We've been together for two years, and have fallen into a very comfortable routine living in an apartment together. She's five foot seven, perfectly proportioned, a great smile, green eyes, and blonde hair, with perfect 34D breasts, a flat tummy with a really cute belly-button piercing, and a bubbly little butt that after two years still gets me going just thinking about it. She's caring, sexy, and everything a guy could ever ask for.
She gets up for work about half an hour before I do. I usually stir awake when I hear her alarm or when she shuts the bathroom door that's right off our bedroom. I roll over and lay there quietly on my back in the dark, warm under the covers in my boxers. I can hear her in the bathroom as she sits down to pee, her thong and shorts sliding down her legs to the floor. I listen as she finishes, then stands up and I can hear her take off her tank top. She starts the shower water up, and I know she is standing in front of the mirror naked while she waits for the water to get warm. As I lie there picturing her brushing through her hair, her perfect breasts slightly swinging, and her dark nipples hardening from the cool bathroom air, I start to touch myself slowly through my boxers. Two or three times a week, I'll hear a soft buzzing over the sound of the shower water, and I know it's her trimmer and she's shaving her pussy nice and bald before she gets in the shower, the way we both like it. My cock hardens quickly at the thought of her touching herself this way, and I usually pull my boxers off at this point and start to play with my balls and ass with my left hand as I slowly jerk my cock with my right.
Then I hear the shower door open and she'll step in. I slowly masturbate as I hear the patterns of the water change, and I know she's facing the water, it's showering her face and the streams of water are coursing down her neck, her chest, her breasts, and off her nipples. Further patterns of water work their way down her tummy, her freshly shaved pussy, and her legs. As her shower goes on, and I get closer and closer to coming, inevitably I'll start to smell her body wash through the door, and I know she's slowly working up a lather with her loofah, and every part of her body is covered in amazing-smelling suds. I'll picture her standing under the water with her eyes closed, her hands slowly moving all over her body washing herself.
At this point, my dick is throbbing and I have to slow way down. I'll tease my nipples thinking about her large dark nipples and areolas dripping wet just on the other side of the closed door from me. I'll usually lay in the quiet warm darkness for just a while more, and then I'll get up and go into the bathroom.
By this point, she's rinsing her hair, and as I walk in with my erect dick, she'll usually glance over and give a little smile as she finishes up and sees me. As I put my contacts in, I'll watch her dry off in the shower behind me, her hair, nipples, and tummy dripping water as she puts a towel around her. We trade places at the counter and I step into the shower.
At this point, being so close to her wet amazing shower smell and tight body, I'm erect and feeling like a single touch could put me over the edge. I watch her as I soap up, and she'll start putting her face creams on as I wash myself. Every so often, she'll glance back at me in the mirror and smile, as she sees my hands unable to stay away from my cock. She'll continue putting her makeup on in the towel as I continue to shower, slowly rubbing my dick here and there. Finally, I can't hold back any longer. I put a nice dollop of body wash in my hand, soap it up, lean against the side of the shower and start to jack my penis nice and steady. She always gives me this little wry knowing smile that I love so much and proceeds to drop her towel, because it's time for her body lotion. She stands there totally naked in front of the mirror, and squirts a big squirt in her hands. She starts with her tits and tummy, and she slowly rubs in it, massaging her breasts and nipples. She works her way down her tummy, the top of her pussy, and her legs. I get really close watching this, and then she reaches back and rubs her perfect little ass cheeks. I can feel my cum welling up, and then, just as I think I can't get any closer without coming, she'll slowly raise one leg at a time up on the counter to rub the inside of her thighs with lotion. As I see her shaved, pink pussy open up slightly, I feel the amazing, familiar feeling of cum rushing up my cock, and I spasm, sending cum flying across the shower, hitting the opposite wall. The orgasm continues as she lifts her other leg and slides her hand up her leg toward her pussy, her tight thighs slick with lotion, her inner pink folds slightly moist still from her shower, her large dark nipples brushing the top of her thigh as she bends over. I collapse against the shower wall, barely able to stand, as she puts her towel back on, gives me a wink and smile in the mirror, and leaves the bathroom to get dressed.
I am a lucky man. This happens about three mornings a week!
