I learned a lot about Shakespeare at Bona's. But another part of my university education took place at rehearsals and backstage at the Garret Theater with Dr. Stephen Gray-Lewis.
I have vivid memories of those times. Times of working hard, playing hard and stretching myself both physically and emotionally. Of feeling comfortable in my own skin. Lifelong friendships were formed learning lines and learning to negotiate relationships. Some you would come to love, and some, not so much.
A master class in my education happened at 'The Dr's" table. At the end of each production he would host a cast dinner party at his home. For the sake of disclosure, the dining hall food was nothing to write home about. Remember writing home?
After the first semester's production I looked forward to the dinner for, well, the food. Eating in someone's home having been away from home for several months felt like an occasion. And it felt great to "be in a professor's house." Did they live like other people? Would his home be terribly sophisticated (As I saw him?) or casual and bohemian? It was a reflection of him — warm, sophisticated, elegant and comfortable.
At that first party I remained focused on the food until we sat at the table. And sat. And relaxed. And talked. We talked about theater and books and campus gossip. And food. He listened to us and respected what we had to say. Imagine that as a college freshman.
Eventually, a group of us would come in the afternoon and help prepare the food. We'd sing and dance in the kitchen reliving moments from the latest production. He taught us how to cook, but really taught us about sharing — sharing our thoughts, aspirations, complaints, ourselves.
I learned that from him and in my home I hope our guests feel so embraced at the table. That it is a place to gather and share more than food.
When he passed away, my dear friends Leigh and Ed. Simone (current SBU faculty members) gave me his red paella pan. I never use it without thinking of him and reciting Shakespeare's verse: "Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast." I think he'd like that.

"For me popular art is non-existent. Out of necessity people do things that are related to life" – With this sentence, said by the Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi, Studio MK27 described the idea behind their exhibition of furniture at this year's INTERIEUR in Kortrijk. The showcased furniture were designed and created by Brazilian civil construction laborers with residual building materials. All of them were used at the construction sites. Some of the pieces underwent some small interventions, realized in a precise and artisan manner.
"On every day and at every site these workers improvised, producing "ingenuities" of every type: to sit, to rest, to heat food, to hang and dry clothing and to re-use the remnants and the rests of material that the very project discarded. The main characteristic of these pieces are the bricolage, the spontaneous design, the re-using of materials […]
These pieces illustrate the convergence of a series of themes: the possibility of using products for a longer period of time, without their deterioration; the diversity in re-using materials and products; the discarding and the imaginative force of spontaneous design in the answers and solutions in the quotidian of these civil construction laborers", Maria Cecilia Loschiavo, philosopher and associate professor of Design at the School of Architecture and Urbanism at University of São Paulo writes about the project.
"Popular design in the XXI century has suffered in the midst of the accelerated urbanization and globalization of the capitals. The folkloric object, as well as the local know-how itself, has been swallowed by a torrent of information in the contemporary world. Among the glimmer of exceptions which have quickly disappeared, still alive is the nostalgic imaginary existence of a popular urban culture. More than just the mystification of an autonomous production, there exists the theoretical desire to formulate an authentically national design, a Brazilian design", Gabriel Kogan from Studio MK27 explains.

Fettuccine Corn Salad
When summer's sweet corn is abundant at farm stands and supermarkets, I just can't get enough of it. But after a few weeks of corn on the cob, I begin looking for other ways to enjoy the seasonal bounty.
This Fettuccine Corn Salad is my version of a salad bar favorite and can be whipped up in a snap. Take it along as a nice change of pace from your usual pasta salad or instead of deli potato salad at your next picnic or cookout.
While this creamy corn salad is pretty straightforward, you could jazz it up a bit by adding chopped green onions or fresh parsley, sliced black olives, shredded cheddar cheese or canned diced green chilies. Stir these extra ingredients into the dressing before tossing with the pasta and corn. This salad goes great with grilled burgers, steaks or chicken, so take it along anywhere you might have some summer fun!
Makes 10 side-dish servings.
*1 cup frozen corn niblets, defrosted and drained well, can substitute for the fresh corn.

ECLECTIC RANT: Ending the U.S. Senate's Filibuster Rule
There is increasing sentiment in the U.S. Senate to end or reform the filibuster. Supposedly, all seven of the newly elected senators and newly elected independent Angus King of Maine have pledged support for changing the Senate's filibuster rule. Presently, as we have seen in the last sessions of Congress, a 41-vote minority of Republican senators has effectively bottled up or killed legislation.
A U.S. Senate filibuster usually refers to any dilatory or obstructive tactics used to prevent a measure from being brought to a vote, according to Wikipedia. Senate Rule XXII permits a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, unless "three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn" (usually 60 out of 100 senators) brings debate to a close by invoking cloture. Since 1917, there have been 1,372 cloture motions filed, 989 votes on cloture, and 440 cloture invoked. In recent years, however, the majority has preferred to avoid filibusters by moving to other business when a filibuster is threatened and attempts to achieve cloture have failed.

Paula Finds Her Voice with the Support of SOAR Rhode Island
Since 1989, Sisters Overcoming Abusive Relationships (SOAR), a survivor task force of the Family Violence Prevention and Services Program-funded Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, has worked to promote awareness and advocate for the elimination of domestic violence by giving visibility to the voices of abused women. With 100 domestic violence survivors as members, SOAR emphasizes the power of their voices by creating new forums to share their stories. Recently, one of these venues has been stage performance. For one survivor in particular, the chance to tell her story through theater has been transformational.
Having endured an abusive marriage for over 20 years to a man influential in many social circles, Paula felt forced to be silent, thinking that no one would believe her if she shared the truth. After he passed away, she gained a newfound freedom and sense of relief; having never told her story of abuse. However, Paula felt plagued with guilt and shame. During the length of their marriage, her husband had made her believe that she was mentally unstable, and that she was to blame for the dysfunction in their relationship. It took Paula close to 30 years after his death to speak openly about her experience. At first, she declined to share her story on stage, revealing to her peers that she had never even spoken about her abuse with her daughter. Encouraged by the strength of the other women, however, she later decided to take the stage.
Paula was supported by a team of 14 other women who came together to stage a production last October to tell their stories of abuse and survival; while some have been a part of SOAR for decades, others are new members who are sharing their stories for the first time. Many of the women, including Paula, expressed that collaborating on this venture has prompted their discovery of a newfound sense of courage and drive. This production has not only empowered these women as advocates, but has also encouraged them to speak more openly about their experiences with family and friends, truly strengthening the power of their voices.
With the support of SOAR, Paula finally got the chance to publicly claim her story as her own, and to reject the shame. Though her stage debut took place nearly six months ago, she continues to speak with confidence about her experience and works with SOAR to expand opportunities for survivors like her to tell their stories.

I have a half-table (No 36) at Comica Comiket on November 10th which takes place at The Bishopsgate Institute, London. It's my first comics fair so feeling a mixture of excitement and trepidation. I started my creative career selling hand-made cards on stalls and at craft fairs in the early 90s, so it's been a long time hiding in my studio… Here's what will be available:
Spooky Womb (A true-ish uterine tale) A 12-pp story about a woman's relationship with her uterus (see my previous post). B&W with hand-coloured cover elements:
A Fray A few years ago I found some beautiful vintage newswraps (used to wrap around newspapers). I made one or two birthday cards with them but always wanted to make them into a booklet. I'd occasionally take them out of the drawer to stroke them and wonder what to do, but was waiting for the right thing. Inside there is an adhesive strip which says 'Strip-easy' so it had to be something comicky! It also had to be something to do with communication – related to the idea of news, perhaps. I used to make some of my cards using hand-carved rubber stamps so I made some new ones for this. It's a very small story about friendship and miscommunication. Handle with care: The paper is over 30 yrs old and the creases are brittle!
It's a fold-out 8-page story, hand-stitched with embroidery thread into a vintage newswrap and home-made rubber-stamped. Each one varies as to paper colour and, er, stamping errors! Strictly limited number-stamped edition of 8 small and 4 tall (all I have and no idea where to find more). The inserts will be available separately and you get one free (to give to a friend?) if you buy the newswrap. The first one sold will be wrapped in original labelling, as shown:
And finally, to lighted up (sort-of) with cheesy puns, Comixmas Card 001, A6 with red envelope:
I'll also be taking the first few pages of my graphic memoir in progress, The Facts of Life. And, a comic each by Smoo and Misinterpreted Complications – we're doing a Thought Bubble/ Comiket swap.
See you there? Come and say hi!

The Order Of Human Fat Loss
August 16, 2019 by Shaun
Filed under The Fitness Bug
Note: Circa 2010 @ EARLY @fitbuzz days 😀 ^^
There is absolutely no way to target specific areas of fat around your body. Period!
The basic to-do's
Are all compulsory attributes on the quest to lose fat and build lean muscle mass. Your body burns fat as a whole, not from specific areas.
The human onion
This is a good way to understand how fat loss works from a visual perspective. Rather than disappearing from a particular place, fat comes off layer by layer from the whole body.
It's like spreading butter
It's like taking one pound of butter and rubbing it all over your body. It will cover you in a very thin layer and probably won't change your size much. The same concept applies to why you can't tell when you've lost a pound in weight, and why you can tell when you've lost 10 pounds in weight.
This can lead to some seriously demotivating days. But please, DO NOT get demotivated when you look in the mirror throughout this phase.
'Anything that is watched and tracked will grow!'
Obviously in this case… grow fit!
Some parts of your body hold a higher amount of fat than others. Everyone is different and the way fat is shed varies from person to person. This is why I constantly talk about techniques to make any one workout program work for YOU! No one else.. just you and ONLY you!
It's why you hear the classic lines such as…
'I'm doing this right, I'm doing that right.. but whenever I eat, it tends to go to one place in my body?'
'I'm getting results butt this is the last place the fat disappears from' (which was probably the first place they put it on) Excuse the pun btw 😉
The man – Spare tire of fat around the waist
The woman – Big butt smaller chest
These are common dilemmas for each of the sexes when fat loss and building muscle is concerned.
The simple answer to overcome this scenario is to adapt. The first step is understanding YOUR body. Once you do
– Analyse
Nevertheless, here is the likely order that you will lose fat around your body on your quest to building lean muscle mass.
#1 Your Face
#2 Your Arms
However, it is common for women to develop a build up of fat in the upper arms, especially in the tricep area.
#3 Your Chest
I do feel some women's pain here, because it is common for women to face a reduction in bust size on the fat loss quest. However, men that focusing heavily on weight training need to watch and track the build up of fat in this area. Man boobs are not cool!
This is how you can fight off man boobs if you do have them…
I have man boobs! How can i fix my chest?
#4 Your Abs/ Waist
We all know that everyone has a great set of abs hiding under that annoying layer of fat. But this is one of the key areas where fat will deposit itself.
This affects a lot of men, I know from the sheer amount of conversations I have on a day-to-day basis. Even a high metabolism type like myself suffers from this to some degree. But don't worry troops… the Bugmeister is in the process of creating a long term solutions for you to help keep the fat at bay from this eye catching area of the body.
Slim woman with natural chubby tummy
This must be highly annoying for women that are naturally slim. You probably already know this if you are a naturally slim woman.
The solution?
Eat healthy!
I'll be covering this in some detail in the upcoming program, but if you want something to get you started read these posts.
- Video Interview With Belinda Benn (Fitness model/writer)
- The 4 Crucial Steps To Shred 'Core' Fat And Build Lean Muscle
- The Caveman (No supplements) vs The 21st Century Man (Takes supplements)
#5 Your Inner Thighs
(Especially the case with women, due to the width of the pelvis)
#6 Your Outer Thighs
#7 Your Lower Back
#8 Your Butt
Women are known to suffer the most here, but this affects everyone. Your glutes are the largest muscle group in your body, yes. But you need fat here other wise sitting down would be no fun! We know by now that you can't control where one loses fat around the body, but one thing you do not want to do is lose a stack load of fat from your butt! Doing so may lead your butt to sag down towards your thighs, and like Natalia Muntean said in her video interview…
It's not pretty!
So make sure you do emphasis some of the butt building techniques as described in this post.
The Art of Building a Bigger Butt
One point I do have to make though, is that for the most part, your body shape is what it's going to be, unless of course we are talking radical body changes. What I mean here is that if your friend has
- Naturally broad shoulders
- A naturally huge butt
- Perfectly proportioned wrists and ankles
And you don't…
Then you will probably never have it as good as they do. Which is why I place a strong focus on describing how to make workouts, fitness and the bodybuilding lifestyle work for YOU!
There is very little you can do to influence specific fat distribution and vigorously exercising a specific body part will not have any influence on local fat in that area. It can be very frustrating but everybody is different. Stay committed to your training and nutrition goals, because building lean muscle will probably take time. Years in some cases. Understand how YOUR body works, and set achievable goals (Read this post to learn how).
Anyhow, that is the common order of fat loss that most of you will face. And most of you will have to adapt some what to get the body that you desire. But rest assured, I'm working on the above and you will be updated soon.
Talking of nutrition…
Before supplements come into play… Your focus should be on food FIRST.
In our world… It's all about delivering the right information and food to you. In a way that makes sense for your lifestyle.
In regards to information… > this post is where you need to live
In regards to getting the right food to you… In a way that makes sense to YOUR lifestyle…
Say hello to one of our S-curve Partner Program businesses…
– A core focus on customised ready cooked meals… That are frozen.
This means that for those of you who are following our 121 nutrition coaching shenanigans…
> Get to eat cooked meals without having to cook them yourself.
> Don't have to worry about having to rush to eat the food, upon arrival.
> Can embrace meal variety… Which is a core element of our S-curve formula.
– Home delivery.
– No subscription commitment. As the S-curve Xperience lifestyle is all about being flexible. Just like how we are, when we start/stop with our S-curve Member Program (SMP).
Whatever your goal is… Do not underestimate the important of getting enough sleep.
That won't be a problem if you get put through a proven formula, like in our > main S-curve program.
Because you'll be forced to go to sleep.
The goal after that… Is to ensure that you get 6-8 hours of uninterrupted a night… Consistently.
Which is why we teamed up with > Bearmattress to help you achieve that.
Not just at home.
But on Travel-curvish 2.0 trips too.
What has been the order of your fat losing results around your body thus far?

How To Burn 1000 Calories In One Workout?
October 7, 2010 by Shaun
Filed under The Fitness Bug
Two day's ago, I send out an email to all newsletter subscribers, where I talked about a new concept that will help you do just as the headline of this post states
How to burn 1000 calories in one workout
If you haven't yet joined the newsletter you can do so here
Any how, the new concept is from two fitness buddies of mine, Joel Marion and Arnel Ricafranca. Who have released a new report called "4 Keys to 4xs FASTER Fat Loss", and for the next few days it's 100% free to download:
4 Keys to 4xs FASTER Fat Loss <——- Click Here to download
In the report, they reveal 4 extremely unique "under the radar" methods to have you legitimately burning 1,000+ calories in a SINGLE workout, and WITHOUT having to work out for hours on end, either.
Burn a THOUSAND calories in a SINGLE Workout <——- *FREE* download, Click here
After reviewing the report I was actually surprised that they were giving it all away for FREE. That is why I sent an email out to all newsletter subscribers, because the report is jam packed with information, with concepts that relate to what I talk about on this website. However, I didn't think it was fair fir you, the dedicated blog reader to miss out, seeing as the download will be taken down before the end of the week.
So here it is again
Burn a THOUSAND calories in a SINGLE Workout <——- *FREE* download, Click here
There is no doubt that I'll be providing even more goodness overtime,and I make it a promise to myself that I over deliver AND improve with what I deliver. So if you haven't already done so, make sure you sign up to the newsletter.
Any how… enjoy!

At The Plate – The Cubs had nothing going for them in this one as they could only manage to score once on seven hits while being routed by the Aces 11-1. Brian Bogusevic continues to hit even if the rest of his team doesn't, he was 2-for-4 with a double, and a run scored, he's now hitting .373 on the season. Brad Nelson has been on fire as of late, he was 2-for-4 with a double, and an RBI, he has his average all the way up to .286 on the season. Ian Stewart got a rare start and had a good day, he was 1-for-3 with a walk, and a double, much better approach.
On The Mound – Yuck. Barret Loux got the start and was torn apart, he went 3.1 innings giving up seven runs on nine hits while walking three and striking out two, his record dropped to 2-2 with the loss. Yoanner Negrin came on in relief and really didn't help his cause as he made two errors. Negrin worked 2.2 innings giving up three runs, two earned, on seven hits while walking one and striking out three. Hisanori Takahashi came on and stopped the bleeding as he worked a scoreless inning. Casey Coleman was roughed up a bit as he worked an inning giving up one run on three hits while striking out one.
At The Plate – Another thrilling win for the Smokies after it looked like to could be a crushing loss. The Smokies gave up a run in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game but recaptured the lead in the tenth and hung on to win 3-2. Matt Szczur is rolling right now, and has been solid all year, he was 3-for-5 with three singles, he is now hitting .302 on the season. Arismendy Alcantara was 1-for-5 with two RBI's, that one hit was a two out drag bunt base hit that scored the winning run in the tenth. Christian Villanueva was 2-for-3 with his second home run of the season, a walk, an RBI, and a run scored, he's hitting .250 on the season and .303 over his last ten games.
On The Mound – Unfortunately Alberto Cabrera did not factor in the decision as he deserved a win tonight, he was electric. Cabrera went seven innings giving up one run on five hits while walking one and striking out seven. Marcus Hatley worked a scoreless inning out of the pen giving up one hit while striking out one. The usually reliable Zach Rosscup hit a speed bump in this one as he blew the save giving up on run on two hits while walking one in the ninth, but ended up getting the win. Frank Batista was solid in the tenth inning to earn his fourth save of the season he worked a scoreless inning while striking out one.
At The Plate – Once again the D-Cubs couldn't do anything offensively and suffered another loss to a team that they probably should beat. The D-Cubs could only manage four hits all night, and were 1-for-4 with runners in scoring position, they scored twice. Javier Baez, John Andreoli, Dustin Geiger, and Chad Noble had the hits in this one, all singles except for a Geiger double. Jorge Soler, and Chad Noble recorded the RBI's in the loss.
On The Mound – Ben Wells rebounded from his last outing with a solid performance going 5.1 innings giving up two runs on six hits while walking two and striking out four. Jeffrey Lorick came on in relief and allowed an inherited runner to score working two-thirds of an inning giving up one hit. Eduardo Figueroa took the loss in this one as he worked one inning giving up two runs on two hits while walking two. Austin Reed did a great job out of the pen going two scoreless innings giving up two hits while walking one.
At The Plate – The Cougars grabbed an early lead in this one, but it was all Chiefs from there on out as they easily dispatched Kane County 8-4. Gioskar Amaya was 1-for-2 with two walks, and a run scored, he seems to be in the middle of everything lately. Rock Shoulders, who has struggled a bit as of late, that's going to happen when you hit .400 for a month, he was 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI's, and a run scored. Willson Contreras was 2-for-2 with his fifth home run of the season, stolen base, an RBI, and a run scored. The Cougars didn't really help their own cause in the field as they made three errors in the loss.
On The Mound – Ian Dickson got the start and didn't last very long but wasn't bad at all, he went four innings giving up two runs on five hits while walking one and striking out four. Justin Amlung took over and ended up taking the loss, his first of the season. Amlung worked three innings giving up four runs, three earned, on five hits while walking one and striking out two. Steve Perakslis tossed two innings giving up two runs on two hits while walking one.

As Fair Trade and environmentally friendly consumers, we try our best to put our ethics before anything, including our wallets. Ethically made products can be a bit more expensive than conventional items, however, using your money as your voice is incredibly important in this modern economy. Purchasing ethically makes sense to many of us, but it is also essential to set an example for our younger generations. Ethical products are growing day by day and so many amazing items are available. This includes products for all the children out there!
From Fair Trade sports balls to recycled toys and even eco friendly diapers, there is a plethora of ethical children's items on the market. During the holidays the web was bustling with great socially conscious and earth friendly suggestions for children's gifts. And even we at Autonomie Project have taken on the Children's market with our Fair Trade and Organic Children's Clothing line Little Green Radicals and Ethletic Sneakers. And we aren't the only ones, many companies provide parents with eco friendly ways to dress their little tykes.
As ethical consumers we know that these items aren't cheap but setting an example to the children in our lives is priceless. Whether they be our own, our nephews or nieces, or even our friend's children, starting them young on smart and conscious choices is incredibly important. It may seem like buying one organic t-shirt or one recycled toy is a minor thing, but setting these examples early in life makes a huge impact. We need to pass these ideas and choices on to our youth so that the next generation can create better products and make even better decisions than our own.
So without sounding too preachy, just please keep this in mind the next time a birthday or Christmas rolls around or even the next time you need to purchase an everyday item for a child. After all living by example is one of the most influential ways for a child to learn and with the risk of sounding cliche, the youth are our future. So please pass the ethical torch.

A former Iberia police chief has been sentenced to jail time, probation and ordered to pay a fine stemming from a conviction for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.
A former Iberia police chief has been sentenced to jail time, probation and ordered to pay a fine stemming from a conviction for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. Isom Douglas Pope, 54, was sentenced before Miller County Associate Circuit Judge Kenneth L. Oswald on Wednesday. A jury found him guilty of the charges in September. He was ordered to begin an immediate two-day jail sentence. He will then be placed on probation for two years and faces fines of up to $2,000. The judge accepted Miller County assistant prosecuting attorney Roger M. Gibbons' sentencing request. Gibbons tried the case on behalf of the state. According to a press release issued by the Miller County Prosecuting Attorney's office, Oswald commented from the bench that "this defendant was a person the citizens of the community had appointed to enforce the law ... a position of high trust." Pope had committed a breach of trust that the citizens didn't deserve, the judge said. "We were committed to seeking at least some time in jail as part of the punishment in this case because of the defendant's status as a law enforcement officer," Miller County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Howard said. "I think the jury worked hard and reached a just result after weighing the facts of the violation and the defendant's health situation in arriving at their verdict." In August 2006, Pope was cited for possession of a small amount of marijuana and rolling papers while he was serving as the Iberia chief of police. He resigned immediately. Howard credited Miller County deputies and Sheriff Bill Abbott for their professionalism in handling the investigation. "This case presented an uncomfortable situation that no one in law enforcement wants to deal with, but I am pleased that our sheriff's department did not hesitate to act properly and professionally when a member of the local law enforcement community had knowingly violated the same law he was expected to enforce."

(1946- )
Robert Davidson is one of the most decorated Canadian artists today. He has received such prestigious awards as the Order of Canada, the Order of British Columbia, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Canadian Aboriginal Achievement Foundation, and was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
He was born in Hydaburg, Alaska in 1946, and was raised in the village of Masset on Haida Gwaii (the Queen Charlotte Islands). From childhood, he was a natural and gifted designer, learning traditional Haida form from his father and grandfather. After completing high school he embarked on a full-time career as a Northwest Coast artist. The scope of his work has spanned all traditional materials and scale. He is at ease with graphics, precious metals, argillite, and wood. His later work has also included works in aluminum and bronze.
His 1993 exhibition, "Eagle of the Dawn", at the Vancouver Art Gallery was the largest solo exhibition of any Northwest Coast artist, and spanned four decades of artistic achievement. In 2004, his solo exhibition, "The Abstract Edge" premiered at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC and then also toured nationally. This exhibition unveiled a contemporary direction and focused strictly on his personal interpretation of Haida design. His work has been a necessary part of all major exhibitions and publications of contemporary Northwest Coast art. With the release of "Four Decades: An Innocent Gesture", there are now five publications on his art and career. In addition, Robert has initiated many projects and events dedicated to the preservation of Haida language, culture, and ceremony, as well as his ceaseless support of the art.

text: Jason Tyler Grace, On the Road: Part I (Photos) Last year I decided that I wanted to leave the States and try to travel around the world. I sold pretty much everything I owned and I have been traveling in South America for 11 months now. In the beginning I was traveling with a girl and was not as focused on tattooing as I am now, tattooing was always meant to be a huge part of the trip (the main focus) to see if I could make it around the world, working as I went. But pussy has a strong pull on a man... I had no idea at all what a huge fucking impact this [traveling] would have on me and my work or what it would do for my outlook on tattooing, the craft, the industry and the community. I started on Jan. 17, 2010 in Costa Rica and traveled to Panama. Then I sailed from there to Colombia and started to make my way south by bus, through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. I have taken three planes in that time, the rest of the travel time was spent with the road under my feet, the landscape zipping by. Sleeping in hostels and new friends' houses (on floors) and when I was working I would sleep in the cheapest hotels I could find. I've been tattooed now in Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. It's an honor to be able to share with you guys (through TAM) my experiences along the way. I am writing this now while in La Paz, Bolivia. Just sitting in this cafe I can feel a shortness of breath, my heart races faster, this is the highest capital city in the world, a city that touches the clouds. There are natives everywhere, what we once had in North American Indians they still have here, the women dress in tall bowler hats and huge golden dresses that fit sort of like an umbrella. Tough skin, brown brown brown, rough hands. The sidewalks are big enough for about two people, its a constant traffic jam of people, stopping, turning, stalling. There are crooked police everywhere with automatic rifles, the traffic directors are dressed as zebras and jackasses, the shoe shiners dress in all blue and wear ski masks to hide their identity, they look like Crips. This is the craziest city I have ever been to. There is a prison that is one of the largest manufacturers of cocaine, it is possible to take a tour and buy coke while there. Coke is everywhere and somehow it finds its way up my nose often. There are protests constantly, everyone chews coca leaves, there are giant holes in the middle of the sidewalks, horns blare without end, you can't flush toilet paper, up in the hills they have scarecrows hanging by nooses symbolizing the fact that they have no police and if you step out of line, they take matters into their own hands and its hard to breathe. Ahh... this is the life. Tattooing continues to blow my mind, last night while trying to fall asleep my mind was reeling with thoughts about designs and techniques and the opportunities it has given me over the past 11 months. After 12 years of this it can still keep me up at night, I am so thankful for that. The average traveler either meets other travelers along the way or spends a good amount of time on their own. Traveling as a tattooer, I am allowed behind the curtain, it provides an instant community instead of spending time with other travelers I get to spend time with local people that I have a connection with through the craft. They take me to the cool spots, they show me the crazy shit. As everyone in the industry knows, there is a lot of trouble to get into; I like trouble and trouble likes me. Working south of the equator is a whole other deal, a fancy North American, who is used to having access to whatever I want, a thermofax, reference books, a photocopier… it's just not available here. This shit has stretched me, took away my crutches and made me a better craftsman. I leave Bolivia next Thursday and head to Three Kings in NYC, then back to Idle Hand in SF and then off to Australia in January to work at Dynamic and explore the other side of the world. The passport is filling up. So here goes, a blog for other tattooers… do you guys read? C/S JTG La Paz, Bolivia Dec. 2010 (Jason Tyler Grace is a contributing blogger for Tattoo Artist Magazine. He can currently be found traveling the world and sometimes at Idle Hand Tattoo in San Fransisco, CA.)

We aren't all interior designers with the ability to visualize a product in various environments. The following images will give you ideas on how to make the most of your HON products, as well as bring a variety of aesthetic options to life.
Warranties are not usually exciting reading material. But we think the HON Full Lifetime Warranty is something special in our industry. It's not that we've worked hard on the warranty itself. Instead, we've worked hard to make it easy to warranty our products. Here is how we can provide and stand by what we believe to be the best warranty in the office furniture industry:
We know what we're doing and do it better than anybody else.
At HON, we are committed to being good listeners and producers. Through our "Voice of the Customer" process, we spend time listening to the people who make businesses go, observing how they work, and learning what they need to be successful. The right products don't wear out, break or malfunction. They just work, and that makes them easy to stand behind.
We let practicality inspire us.
HON designers, engineers, and production people are inspired by practicality. Our office furniture solutions must be functional and effective. We test them in real offices. We have always and will always make tough, enduring products that look good too, because that's what makes sense for our customers.
We are empowered. We are ready.
Every HON member is empowered to serve our customers. Every one. We know that loyalty is a product of performance. It's a matter of making and keeping promises. That's how we keep customers for life. That's what makes us stand out in our markets.
Our warranty is our promise. So it has to be on-the-mark.
We're confident in the value, quality, and durability HON products deliver. If they fail, we give their owners the choice to replace any product that can't be repaired with something comparable, or we refund their purchase price—and we do not mean a prorated refund, we mean a full refund no matter how much the product was used.
Waiting for the fine print? Don't. There is none.
We don't feel our warranty should have fine print because we want it to be clear, concise and easy to understand—just like the products we make.

This blood test looks for antibodies against Francisella tularensis, the bacteria that cause the disease tularemia.
Tularemia test; Serology for Francisella tularensis
Antibodies defend the body against some bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other foreign substances called antigens. Certain cells of the immune system cause the body to produce antibodies during an active infection.
When you first get sick, few antibodies may be detected. Antibody production increases during the course of an infection. For this reason, antibody tests are often repeated several weeks after the first test is done, so the results can be compared. A rising level of antibodies tells the health care provider that there is an infection.
This test looks for antibodies to F. tularensis in the clear liquid portion of the blood, which is called the serum. (This technique is called serology.) The presence of these antibodies means you have a current or past infection with F. tularensis. In some cases, a single high level of antibodies that are specific to F. tularensis may mean you have an infection.
There is no special preparation.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This blood test may be performed when tularemia is suspected.
Antibodies are absent. However, during the first few days to weeks of exposure to an antigen, there may be slight antibody production. As the disease progresses, more antibodies will be present. If a disease is suspected, the test may need to be repeated several weeks after the first test.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results
If antibodies are detected, there has been exposure to Francisella tularensis (possible tularemia).
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
A serology test can determine whether you have ever been exposed to a certain antigen, but this does not mean that you have a current infection. Increasing antibody levels are more likely to indicate a current infection.

Readers of the Times Union blog and first-time visitors:
Hi! My name is Kevin Marshall. I was born, raised, and currently reside in Troy. You know, your neighbor across the river. I'm a stage actor, writer, blogger, and local sex symbol. None of them for a living, per se, but all with the intensity and due diligence of a professional.
What you're going to read about is, essentially, what it's like to be a single male in his late twenties living in the Capital Region. I'll share my (mis)adventures when it comes to dating, writing, creative pursuits, theater, and socializing. You'll also get my views on pressing issues of the day, not so pressing issues of the day, the issue of the Times Union that went to press today, and the press's issues in the modern world.
In other words, I'm the male Kristi except without the popularity and segment on News 10 or Fly 92. Also, I like dogs and I'm a single man with a cat. This puts me at odds with her sensibilities, but I have no doubt that we will become fast friends and have a healthy laugh or two over cups of Earl Grey tea with Steve Barnes, Rob Madeo, and the other TU bloggers.
In addition to this blog, I also have an editorial blog devoted specifically to MMA (the UFC to the layman) called Mixed Marshall Arts (MarshallMMA.com).
I encourage any of you that are on Twitter to follow and holler at me: @KevinMarshall.
I look forward to having great conversations and adventures with you all, and welcome any and all feedback. In the meantime, I put it on you guys to come up with a catch phrase. Suggestions should be made in reply to this post. Let's see what you got!

Here in New York, we're looking at the coldest day we've seen in in several years — it's so cold, in fact, the dogs haven't even asked for walk (which is unheard of around here). We're comforting ourselves with hot chocolate (me), bully sticks (the dogs), a cozy heating blanket (all of us — and who knew a single heating blanket could fit one human, two dogs, two cats and a giant stuffed hedgehog?) and fantasies of summer vacation.
Of course it will be a dog vacation, because what fun is going on vacation without the dogs? Well, okay, on days like today, I wouldn't mind a week on some tropical island, relaxing on a lounge chair with oversized sunglasses and a drink with an umbrella in it. But since I haven't won Lotto yet, I can't buy my own island with a private dog-friendly beach…nor do I have a private dog-friendly plane to fly there. And anyway, the dogs would just hog the lounge chair.
Thankfully, I have Canine Camp Getaway, which satisfies my dogs' need for fun in the sun (and in the shade, and in the pool, bar and pretty much everywhere else), as well as my own need to kick back a bit and relax, without having to worry about work deadlines, what to make for dinner or whether my dogs are safe and happy. Dog camp may not be everyone's dream vacation, but spending a week with dogs and dog lovers actually suits me quite well — and let's face it, is there anything better at the end of the day than Yappy Hour with friends (both two-legged and four-legged)?
With Canine Camp Getaway's June vacation nearly sold out, and September filling up fast, you'd think other hotels would be taking the hint: dog-friendly properties = more customers. Yet not everyone seems to be getting the message.
In a random sampling of "dog friendly" hotels, I found that more than half charge a (sometimes hefty) dog deposit or "cleaning fee" (It costs you a hundred bucks to clean the room after Buffy the miniature poodle stays over for two nights? Really?). Many still regulate the size, weight or breed of dogs they will accept (and my 97-pound dog points out that it's not only not "friendly" but downright rude to have strangers questioning her about her weight!).
Atlantic City has finally gotten some dog-friendly hotels (presumably someone finally saw that "Dogs Playing Poker" painting and realized there was an opportunity there), though there's still not a lot to do with your dog once you get there.
Disney, I'm told, has added a doggie daycare center for those who want to bring their pup along for vacation…a step in the right direction, to be sure…but the hotels on site are still not dog-friendly.
California does a better job with dog-friendly hotels, beaches and restaurants…but if you live on the East Coast, you've either got a really long drive to contend with, or you have to worry about bringing your dog on a less-than-dog-friendly airplane.
So, what do you do if you're a dog owner who hates to leave your dog behind, or a dog who's too big to sneak into Mom or Dad's suitcase? First off, do your research: when planning your vacation, call several area hotels and ask about pet policies, any hidden charges, available dog amenities and local activities for dog owners. Some hotels will not allow dogs to be left alone in the room — even in a crate — so be sure you know the hotel's policy on this, and if your dog must be with you at all times, be prepared with a list of dog-friendly restaurant options, or a local doggie daycare center. Don't count on leaving your dog in the car — even if the temperatures are moderate, an unexpectedly hot day can put your dog's life in danger.
If sharing time with your pet is an important part of your vacation plans, contact pet stores in your destination cities and ask about dog-friendly events, restaurants of hot spots — sometimes there are "unofficial" hangout spots where dogs and dog lovers gather that only the locals know about. Local dog meetup grounds can also be a great resource for this — contact the group organizer if you're looking for suggestions for the best hiking spots, dog-friendly parks or other fun events.
Even if you're spending much of your vacation sight seeing, be sure your dog gets enough exercise and entertainment to minimize stress — a long hike and some playtime each day will leave your dog feeling relaxed and happy. And you'll not only feel better about heading out with friends if your dog is happily tired out first, but you'll be glad you got some extra exercise when you're eating out and enjoying that extra glass of wine, or that rich slice of double chocolate cake.
Of course, if your dream vacation involves seeing your dog have a great time, check out Canine Camp Getaway of NY — designed by dogs, for dogs…and their people, of course!
It may be too cold to do much more than "armchair traveling" right now, but it's a great time to curl up somewhere warm, relax and dream about your (and your dog's) next vacation. Happy travels!

Bitter Melon Momordica charantia
The bitter melon, or bitter gourd, is a creeping vine native to tropical and sub-tropical habitats and is cultivated all over India for its fruiting vegetables.
The vegetable cultivated is characteristically bitter and takes on the appearance of a squash or courgette with a curiously speckled and knobbly skin. It is used in almost all Asian cooking traditions and is traditionally used as a pickling fruit.
Its bitter qualities come to full effect in Natural Balance.

After taking the Texas Derby 2-1 on Saturday, the Dynamo will have a quick turnaround when they take on Toronto FC Wednesday night at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Reds arrived in town Sunday evening, following their 2-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. The loss dropped Toronto's record to 1-10 on the year and 0-1 under interim head coach Paul Mariner, who took over for Aron Winter last week.
Something's gotta give
The Dynamo are unbeaten in MLS play at BBVA Compass Stadium (3-0-1), but their home unbeaten streak extends well beyond the May 12 opener vs. D.C. United. Including the postseason, the Dynamo are unbeaten in their last 13 home MLS matches, which includes games played at Robertson Stadium and BBVA Compass Stadium. Houston's last home loss was a 2-0 defeat to the Columbus Crew on June 18, 2011.
On the flip side, Toronto FC enters BBVA Compass Stadium without a point on the road in 2012 (0-5-0). Toronto has been outscored 13-5 in its five road games this season, and has allowed three goals or more on three separate ocassions. Toronto's last MLS road win came on September 10, 2011, when they defeated the Columbus Crew 4-2 at Crew Stadium.
Champions of Canada
Although Toronto has struggled to earn points in MLS play this season, their run in CONCACAF Champions League has caught the eye of folks around MLS. The Reds were the last MLS team to be eliminated from the 2011-12 tournament, falling in the semifinals to Mexican league champion Santos Laguna. Toronto is back in Champions League again, having defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 on aggregate in the Amway Canadian Championship.
Players to watch
At first glance, the Toronto FC record leaves much to be desired, however, their roster is full of players that can pose Houston problems.
1. Joao Plata - The diminutive Ecuadoran burst onto the scene in 2011 with three goals and five assists in his rookie campaign. Plata has been kept off the scoresheet in 2012, but the 5-foot-2 winger is dangerous and has the potential to give the Dynamo fits down the flanks. In last year's matchup between the clubs at BMO Field, Plata tallied a goal and an assist in what many considered his breakout game in MLS.
2. Danny Koevermans - Similar to Plata, Koevermans enjoyed much success in his first year in Major League Soccer, scoring eight goals in only 10 games played. The Dutch forward has two goals this season but with his 6-foot-3 frame he will not shy away from aeriel battles with Dynamo center backs Bobby Boswell and Geoff Cameron.
3. Ryan Johnson - The Jamaican international was a major reason Toronto advanced as far as they did in Champions League. Johnson scored five goals in the tournament including two against the LA Galaxy in the quarterfinal series. Johnson only has one goal through 11 games in 2012, but there is no denying he will be a target for Toronto on Wednesday night.
Ticket information
Limited tickets are still available for Wednesday's match. The first five matches at BBVA Compass Stadium have sold out, so this is the perfect opportunity for fans to see the men in orange at home. To purchase tickets, call (713) 276-GOAL or click here.

Update 7.20 is truly unbalanced. The latest episode of Dota 2 WTF Moments (303) showcases a few prime examples:
Keeper of the Light: Will-o-Wisp is WAY too strong. It's essentially a black hole variant with no channeling and bigger AoE
Juggernaut: Omnislash being also counterable with miss chance (like KOTL's blinding lights) is unacceptable. It takes away the very essence of what the words "Omni" and "Juggernaut" means
Lich: Sinister Gaze needs to go back to Sacrifice. Sacrifice has been core to Lich for years and gave him the ability to slow down enemy exp/farm during laning phase. Sinister Gaze is just too unnecessary during laning and too OP during fights (it's essentially a stronger stun)
Bloodseeker: Why on earth is Rupture no longer lethal? There are already so many ways to counter it, especially late game when enemy heroes have satanic, linkins, heals, etc.
Map: The 2 warding spots near top of Dire's right jungle are too close to each other if Tiny is capable of tossing a unit back and forth from them.

Product Description
The Ancient Art of Cameo Design:
Since the Hellenic Age, kings, queens, knights and wealthy citizens of ancient cultures possessed hand carved cameos to demonstrate their wealth and rich taste in fine things of life. There are 2 unique methods of designing cameos. We use the "Intaglio" method that uses carving a cameo design from the back of the stone while the "Relief" method does carving the stone from the front. The word cameo is believed to have originated from the Hebrew word KAMEA that means a charm or amulet or Latin word CAMMAEUS meaning "engraved gem". Unlike most cameos available in shops today, our cameos are not made of cast or glue design. Each cameo amber stone is individually and meticulously hand carved.

Hattie Hartman and Laura Mark present 20 women who are leading the way in sustainable architecture
The 20 women who appear in this first annual AJ Footprint list of women who are influencing sustainable architecture include eight practitioners (this means they are working primarily as architects), six academics (most are architects but they are primarily teaching), three environmental campaigners (all non-architects), two consultants and a property developer. As with male colleagues, there is a fair amount of crossover, with practitioners also teaching, academics practising, and so on.
The determining word here is influence, a word chosen by AJ technical reporter Laura Mark, who together with me has curated this list. From Lynne Sullivan at the policy level to Cany Ash promoting 'meanwhile uses' in Canning Town, these individuals are all change-makers. Without exception, they are actively engaged with promoting the uptake of green skills throughout the profession: speaking at conferences, writing books and, most importantly, teaching the next generation. These skills cannot be acquired overnight: they demand not only a new way of working but also detailed technical knowledge.
The built environment is primarily man-made and women have not been sufficiently involved in designing and making it
The journey of Anne Thorne Architects, a practice that has been designing with sustainability in mind for more than two decades, is revealing. A series of four children's nursery projects in the 1990s prompted extensive research into non-toxic materials, a long-standing interest of co-founders Anne Thorne and Fran Bradshaw.
'The built environment is primarily man-made and women have not been sufficiently involved in designing and making it,' Thorne told me recently in an interview which marked the practice's 20th anniversary. She continued: 'Working in mainstream practice, we found that when we raised issues such as toxic materials, or warmth, or livability, they were frequently dismissed. It was quite difficult for women architects to state what they thought was important […] It's not necessarily that we think we can do it better, but we think finding a voice is really important, and space for a voice is very often not there in mainstream practice.'
Often working with local authority clients on tight budgets, the practice also constantly grapples with the longevity of materials, a frequently overlooked aspect of sustainable design.
The need for architects to skill up in sustainable design is by now widely acknowledged. Earlier this month, Fran Bradshaw (along with Prewitt Bizley's Rob Prewitt) presented Building Physics and Retrofit in Exeter, the first of a dozen such RIBA CPD events which the duo are scheduled to undertake between now and December.
Open-City's Green Sky Thinking, another initiative aimed at promoting professional knowledge-sharing, will take place in April this year, no longer piggy-backing on September's OpenHouse.
Lucy Pedlar's Green Register continues to offer top quality CPD, and the UK-GBC offers a range of courses in this area aimed at the broader industry.
So what's next?
There is still a long way to go before these skills become mainstream. Knowledge sharing and collaboration are key. It is encouraging to see so many dynamic women leading the way.

A new trailer for Fish Tank writer/director Andrea Arnold's adaptation of the Emily Bronte classic Wuthering Heights has landed online, and it's wildly impressive. For those unfamiliar with the source material, the story centers on the unresolved passion between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and how their love creates a storm of vengeance. The atmosphere on display in this trailer evokes another recent (and brilliant) Bronte sister adaptation, Cary Fukunaga's Jane Eyre, as we see a whirlwind of emotions between the leads Kaya Scodelario (Skins) and Jason Howson. Arnold's visuals are striking (the film's aspect ratio is an unusual 1.37:1) and the trailer is accompanied by a stellar new song from Mumford & Sons, written specifically for this film.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer, and click here to check out Steve's interview with Arnold from this year's Sundance Film Festival. The film was released in the UK last year but finally hits the U.S. in limited release early next month.
Here's a synopsis for Wuthering Heights:
What would you do if you were denied your soulmate? The passionate tale of Heathclith and Cathy, two teenagers whose elemental love for each other creates a storm of vengeance. From Andrea Arnold, comes a new take on the classic, a startling vision of desire and obsession.
Trailer via Vulture.

Recusal Rules Impact Environmental (and Other) Litigation
Two weeks ago I blogged about the dismissal of the Katrina‐related global warming case because half the judges on the Fifth Circuit were recused for having financial interests in the energy companies and utilities (which the plaintiffs chose specifically to gain recusals but mis‐timed their strategy). Well, now it seems that many judges on the Gulf Coast are recusing themselves from the nascent (and future) oil spill suits, again because they own shares of BP, Transocean, and the other companies involved. Indeed, over half the federal district judges in the affected states — Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida — will not be participating in these cases, leading to calls to appoint judges from elsewhere in the country to handle them.
That's ridiculous! Owning a few hundred or thousand dollars worth of shares of stock is not enough to change the way a judge will behave, particularly when the public knows which judge owns which stock. If we cannot agree that such purported "conflicts" don't really show an appearance of impropriety — if we really doubt the integrity of our judiciary to such an extent — then we might as well throw out the ethics rules, throw up our hands, and declare the country ungovernable. (I'm reminded of the Carrie Underwood song, "Jesus Take the Wheel.")
Moreover, the financial conflict rules are murky. As this AP story discusses, "a judge does not have to step aside if the investments are part of a mutual fund over which they have no management control. Mere ties to companies or entities in the same industry, no matter how extensive, also don't require disqualification." So here we're valuing form over substance.
Look, maybe this is just a pet peeve of mine — it's not an ideological issue one way or the other — but I think you just have to apply the "reasonable skeptic" standard. Every judge is human and has his various biases. It's one thing to recuse if counsel for one of the parties is the judge's spouse or child, or if half the judge's wealth is invested in one of the parties. But dinky little "abundance of caution" recusals cost the justice system more in administrative hassle, sunk attorney fees, and other wastes of time and money than they benefit it in increased integrity.
As for the oil spill litigation, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation — which looks at complex cases on similar issues brought in disparate venues — meets July 29 in Boise, Idaho (of all places), to hear arguments on consolidation. In light of the aforementioned recusals, the Louisiana cases may well be sent to Alabama, Mississippi, or South Florida — or a federal courthouse near you!

Fashion trends may come and go, but true style is eternal. Just ask Elizabeth Taylor, who recently sat down to talk style with out friends at Stylelist. Take lessons from her, darlings, because she certainly knows what she's talking about.
"I don't follow the dictates of fashion," she said." "I stay true to my own style, wearing the things that inspire me and not just what's shown on the runway or in fashion magazines."
And she's been through it all: Hollywood, marriages, health issues, brilliant acting roles, not to mention that fact that she was named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. In all her experience, she's gained more sartorial knowledge than most—fashion icons Halston, Edith Head, Helen Rose, Irene Sharaff, Versace and Valentino are her good friends—so check out seven of her must-have fashion items.
- Lingerie: "So important."
- Jewelry: "Each gem in my collection represents a moment, a relationship, an experience that I treasure. It's the love that surrounds my jewelry that makes it so important to me."
- Beautiful scarves
- Jackets
- Denim: "A great pair of blue jeans."
- Hats: "Always fun."
- Cowboy boots: "My cowboy boots at the moment are bringing me a lot of pleasure."

Job fair held for hospitality positions at new hotels built
Job fair at Maine Mall until 6 p.m.
There seems to be a hotel boom in Portland.
Construction is underway at the corner of Union and Fore Streets in the Old Port, the future home to the Hyatt Place. It will consist of 130 hotel rooms.
On Congress Street, the former Portland Press Herald building is being transformed into a boutique hotel. It will consist of 109 rooms.
And, a new Courtyard Marriot is also going up along Commercial Street. It will have 131 rooms.
With all of these hotels being built, it's fitting -- at the Maine Mall on Wednesday -- that a job fair specifically for those interested in the hospitality industry.
Although these positions are for businesses already up and running, Joshua Breen and his fiance are new to town and both are looking for work.
"We both have our resumes and cover letters. We're good, we're ready to, ready to work," Breen said.
The question being asked by many though is, with 1,000 hotel rooms already in the city of Portland, do we need nearly 500 more? The Convention and Visitors Bureau said yes.
"The question of hotel rooms and occupancy is one that will always be controversial. I look at Newport, R.I. where I came from and half of that has hotel in it that people said wouldn't made it 15 years ago. So, Portland is such a desirable place. I think that we have the ability to bring more people here," said Caleb Mason with the Visitor's Bureau.
And the developers are banking on it.
Hotel developer Vin Veroneau said his company's done extensive market research and there is a need. And, they wouldn't be spending $20 million if they didn't think they could fill their rooms.
"Sixty-percent of our guests should be business travelers, which are 12-month travelers. The leisure travel is about 30 percent and groups, 10 percent, so that would be more weighted toward the summer and shoulder seasons," said Veroneau.
The Eastland Hotel is also undergoing a massive renovation. What that project is done, another 85 rooms will be added to the mix.

I've stopped going to Subway and my quality of life has improved. It used to be convenient, but it was terrible. Nothing grew more irritating than standing in line with a bunch of exhausted looking people waiting for a sandwich assembled with such disinterest. And once you'd picked your bread, someone would ask me, "Would you like to add bacon to your sandwich?"
Bacon is great, but I don't need a depressing-looking slab of it covering an Italian BMT. And for more money, mind you.
It's a similar situation with ethanol. E85 has failed to capture much attention from most drivers. E15 has been pushed on cars with corrosive effects. Ethanol is being pushed and pushed and it's not looking any better. In fact, more and more research is showing it has damaging effects on cars and the environment and wasn't totally checked out before the EPA gave the OK to E15.
But Braking Bad has the real reason ethanol is never going to sit right with American drivers:
I have the best argument against ethanol: it makes bacon more expensive.
When the ethanol craze first started a few years ago, it caused corn prices to skyrocket. Corn is the primary ingredient in feed for pigs (and other kinds of livestock) and feed is a pork farmer's biggest expense.
Therefor ethanol is bad because it takes away from food production, which is already a big enough concern worldwide. We shouldn't hurt such an essential industry just to ease our first world fossil fuel dependency, but mostly because I want cheap bacon, damnit!
This is how to successfully tie bacon and ethanol together. Sometimes it's good, great even. But a really good idea would be to actually try it on all your sandwiches before you start telling everyone it goes together well.

Jorge Posada, the former Yankees catcher, has something to be grateful for this holiday season. According to The Real Deal, Posada finally sold his Upper East Side condo for $9.5 million, which is actually $200,000 above the apartment's most recent asking price.
Despite scoring a sweet deal on the home, it hasn't been an easy road for Posada. He originally listed the full-floor unit a year ago for $11.5 million, and in subsequent months the luxe condo underwent three price cuts. Despite the wavering asking price, Posada's pad remained as lavish as ever. It includes four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a media room, and kitchen with double Wolf ovens and teak cabinetry.
Located in the swanky Seville building, a 31-story, full-service condo tower, the full-floor spread hadn't always been so spacious. Posada combined two units (11A and 11B), shelling out $3.2 million for 11B in 2003 and another $3.6 million in 2007 for unit 11A.
