Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. I took an unplanned/unexpected sabbatical from blogging. I’ve been slammed recently with non-writing work and family obligations, but when I did get to work on my writing, I rocked it on Walter’s story. I figured an update on my progress was long overdue.
And progress is exactly what I’m making with Walter and Kevin’s book. I’m writing every day again and finding a groove with this story that feels really good.
Which is nice because this book has been through such a long journey already. Here’s the path of its life so far:
- Brainstormed story ideas (started in 2010).
- Created character sketches/story outline.
- Wrote synopsis.
- Took a break to work on synopses and outlines for Richard’s and Matthew’s books (from More)
- Submitted all 3 synopses to my publisher.
- Worked on another project while I waited for feedback on which book they’d prefer to see next.
- Received feedback.
- Revised story outline & character sketches based on publisher’s suggestion to remove one story element.
- Worked on rough draft.
- Had inspiration for a new story, so I put Walter and Kevin’s aside to create proposal since Christmas stories were being considered at my publisher. After receiving approval, I wrote and revised Take Me Home.
- Back to Walter and Kevin’s story. Worked on completing rough draft.
- Had to take a break to work on edits from my editor for Take Me Home.
- Back to Walter and Kevin’s story. Completed revisions of first seven chapters.
- Decided to make several major changes to the story (scenes deleted and new scenes added). Reviewed entire manuscript and worked in changes.
- Completed revisions of first ten chapters (as of today).
This story is nothing like it started out as, and yet, it’s becoming more of what I had envisioned in the first place. I cannot tell you how much I love the conversations and interactions between Walter and the much younger Kevin.
This book may not have had the quickest path to publication, but I am really happy with what I’ve got on the page now.
I’ve also worked on revisions to part four of Mark and Scott’s story, the serial novel More Than Just a Good Book. I need to review a few more times, and then send to my critique partner. I’ll announce when it’s ready for you to read on the blog and in my newsletter.
So that’s where I’m at this week. Thanks for listening!

Ghanaian-born model Felivian Adombila Ayariga is a proof that true beauty transcends the European standards.
With classic African features-high cheek bones and likeable looks that remind you of Naomi and Alec, the 5-foot-8 African beauty from the Upper East Region, Bolgatanga caused quite a stir on the modelling circuit in Ghana when she burst onto the scene a few years ago.
This enterprising young African Aphrodite who was signed on to Exopa Modelling Agency (one of the leading modelling agencies in Ghana) is now a darling on Ghana’s runway and she continues to reinvent herself.
Many expected her popularity to be short-lived since the Ghanaian modelling industry was almost non-existent and not as lucrative as the West. So much for predictions.
Because with her ebony skin, cropped hair, Naomi‘s grace and legs that go on forever, Felivian, 24, continues to rule the runway in Ghana. “She simply is the easiest model to work with,” says Emmanuel Bobbie, one of Ghana’s finest professional photographers.
Her speciality, however, goes beyond the runway. She has been involved in several lifestyle campaigns and appeared in many music videos.
Recently, Felivian graced the catwalk at the launch of the BE BOLD TV SHOW, a fashion and lifestyle show on E-TV Ghana. She has also worked with some of Ghana’s finest designers.
These days, when Felivian is not working it on the runway, she is mentoring children between the ages of three and 13 and young Ghanaians with the passion for modelling.
Don’t we all love Felivian? We wish her the very best in all her endeavours.
So, if you love her, watch this space for an interview coming soon.
Also check out Felivian’s portfolio and profile on model mayhem. Wow, she is one fierce lady!!
She passes as one of Africa’s risque- taking celebrities when it comes to fashion.
While filming a movie in Accra, Ghana, the Ghollywood sensation was captured rocking a sporty chic look.
She wore a black varsity shirt, jean shorts accessorized by a gold choker and gold bracelet. But it was her black knee high bondage style gladiator heels that stole the spottlight.
A sleek bun and red lipstick completed the look. Love her or hate her?


Marylanders must be anxious to start summer and get away from it all. And this year, it seems, they can afford to do so. More people from Maryland and nationwide are expected to travel this Memorial Day weekend than they have in the past dozen years.
AAA Mid-Atlantic released its Memorial Day travel projections for the state on Tuesday and says nearly 834,000 Marylanders are expected to during the coming holiday weekend, which the organization defines as today through Monday. That's a 2.3 percent increase versus a year ago, the sixth-straight year of growth, and is the highest number of people expected to travel for the unofficial start of summer vacation season since 2005, mirroring a nationwide trend.
Leisure travel trends are typically a reflection of the economy, so while the record numbers will probably mean lots of extra traffic on the Bay Bridge and in Ocean City the next few days, it also means that our bank accounts are a bit fatter than in previous summers.
"Increases in personal income and falling unemployment rates have led to strong growth in consumer spending, as well as a high level of consumer optimism. These are the driving factors motivating Marylanders to open up their wallets to spend on a holiday trip," said Ragina Cooper Averella, manager of public and government affairs at AAA Mid-Atlantic, in a news release.
Gas prices, another contributing factor to travel trends, have remained steady compared to a year ago. Although motorists may have noticed they are paying a few pennies more per gallon of unleaded in recent weeks, the average price per gallon in Maryland was $2.33 on Monday, according to AAA; about 4 cents higher than a year ago but an 8 cent decrease from last month. Considering an overwhelming majority (about 88 percent) of Memorial Day travelers will make their trip by automobile, it's no surprise that the price at the pump is a major factor in the steady increase of vacations since 2011, when fuel costs peaked around $4 per gallon.
Even airline travel is expected to see a significant uptick, up 5.5 percent for Maryland residents from a year ago, despite recent controversies in the industry regarding overbooking policies and having passengers forcibly removed from their seats. And according to AAA's Travel Leisure Index, the cost of an average round trip flight up to $181 per ticket.
"This year's significant growth in air travel is a testament to consumers' confidence to spend on travel, despite this year's higher airfares," Averella said.
No matter how you are traveling, or even if you're staying local in Carroll County this holiday weekend, we encourage everyone to be safe.
With so many people expected to be on the roads, AAA recommends leaving in the early mornings when roads are less crowded and giving you more time to reach your destination safely. But if you do leave earlier in the morning, make sure you get plenty of rest the night before. Some studies suggest that driving drowsy can be just as or even more dangerous than driving while intoxicated.
But if you do have a little too much fun celebrating with some adult beverages at a Memorial Day cookout or your favorite watering hole at the beach, make sure you have a plan to get home safely. The summer months and long weekends are some of the deadliest times for traffic crashes, and Maryland State Police and the Carroll County Sheriff's Office will be conducting additional patrols focused on getting drunk drivers off the highways.
We'd much rather see folks using their disposable income to enjoy a summer getaway and stimulating the state's economy than for hiring a lawyer to fight a DUI in court.

Because you'll be able to remove clear aligners, you'll enjoy not dealing with dietary restrictions during your treatment. In this post, our dentists in Winnipeg share some other things you should know about eating and drinking with clear aligners.
Can you eat with clear aligners?
Not having to restrict your diet is one of the main benefits of using clear aligners to straighten your teeth.
There are no metal wires or brackets for food particles to get trapped in, unlike traditional braces. In addition, your custom-made clear aligners will be made specifically to fit the shape of your mouth. since clear aligners can be removed, you'll be free to keep eating and drinking the foods and beverages you love.
In this post, our Winnipeg dentists share some advice for eating with clear aligners.
Remove your clear aligners to eat or drink anything but water.
While wearing your clear aligners, only drink cold water. Remove them before consuming foods or beverages other than water, such as sipping on sugary or dark drinks as doing this while wearing your aligners can lead to plaque buildup.
Eating with your clear aligners in may cause cracks, stains or other damage to your aligners. Gum will stick to aligners and cause a mess (trust us on this one).
Hot beverages such as hot chocolate, coffee and tea can leave stains and cause discolouration that will be difficult to remove.
Brush your teeth before putting your clear aligners back in.
You should never place your clear aligners in your mouth after eating without first brushing your teeth, since food particles can get trapped between your teeth and your aligners and cause bacteria to grow, which will increase your risk of cavities and tooth decay.
Just like with braces, oral hygiene is essential to ensuring you achieve the smile you want. If you are unable to brush properly after eating or drinking, your best bet is to rinse your mouth and your aligners with water before putting them back on your teeth.
Schedule your meal times.
Though you don’t need to restrict which foods you eat, you should plan your meal times carefully.
In order to hit the 20 to 22 hours per day wear time you need with clear aligners, you’ll want to be mindful of the total time that you remove them for each day.
To see the best results, you should keep them in your mouth as much as possible. Though you can remove the aligners when brushing, flossing, drinking and eating, try not to overdo the time they are out of your mouth, and ensure you are wearing them for at least 20 hours each day.
Cut back on snacking.
Because you have to remove your clear aligners each time you eat and then brush your teeth, you’ll probably find yourself cutting back on snacking quite a bit and being more thoughtful about what you eat as well as when you eat.
On the plus side, you may see your health improve along with your teeth becoming straighter.
You may want to put your clear aligners in and remove them in private.
Especially at the beginning of your treatment, you may want to use a restroom when removing and placing your clear aligners in your mouth. Since they fit your teeth so snugly, some patients have told us they can be a little bit challenging to remove until you get the hang of quickly popping them in and out - a task you may not want to try in public.

While Electronic Arts has had plenty of games be inclusive to the LGBT community, according to the company’s Senior Conversation Manager, Daniel Lingen, those who want to see more content like gay romance in Bioware games are going to need to be more vocal than they have been in recent years if characters and stories that are represent this community are to be include in the company’s games.
Lingen works at EA by curating online feedback and community responses to current events and the company’s games, and his findings apparently don’t typically result in demand for LGBT content.
Speaking with Advocate, Lingen explained that while requests for inclusivity like women’s sports teams in games like FIFA are plentiful, requests for queer content “seldom” come through his office.
I think the LGBT community is doing it wrong,” says Lingen. “If we as a community want to create LGBT games on a mass scale, we have to talk about it.”
Lingen explains that EA “look(s) at everything,” whether it’s blog posts, forum rants, or tweets to determine what people are talking about and asking for, and advises those looking for LGBT subject matter to be more vocal, as interactions like these between developers and consumers helps to inform what makes its way into EA’s games.
Despite Lingen’s findings, some EA games, specifically from Dragon Age and Mass Effect developer Bioware, have been very inclusive to the LGBT community with gay characters and romantic options, and even tackled concepts like conversion therapy and parents abusing gay youth. Earlier this year, Dragon Age: Inquisition was recognized by the GLAAD for its portrayal of LGBT characters.

Sinead Tinker (played by Katie McGlynn) revealed she would be leaving Coronation Street earlier in the year and it looks like the door might not be left open for the ITV soap star.
The Coronation Street resident will make a heartbreaking exit from the cobbles after losing her battle with cancer.
After six years in Weatherfield, Sinead star, Katie, revealed she would be saying goodbye to the ITV soap.
Discussing her exit, a TV insider told The Sun: “From her two rocky relationships to the mini-bus crash, she’s been in some of Corrie’s most captivating storylines.
“And producers will be sad to see Katie leave the soap, but she will make an unforgettable departure which is set to leave viewers in tears.”
Husband Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) who has been by her side ever since she received the diagnosis, will be devastated by the news.
The mum of one postponed treatment as she made the tough decision to have their son Bertie instead of radiotherapy.
Sinead was first diagnosed with cervical cancer last year and in tonight’s episode she was given good news after an agonising wait.
Before she heard the news, Sinead warns Daniel that he has to come to terms with the prospect she may not have recovered.
But Daniel breaks down and explains he wouldn’t be able to cope without her.
Viewers watched as her oncologist revealed the treatment had worked and the tumour appeared to have shrunk.
However Sinead isn’t as happy with the news as Daniel feels she should be.
Later on in the episode, Sinead confessed she’s worried the cancer will come back at any time.
With Sinead’s exit from the ITV soap confirmed, will her worst fears be realised as her cancer returns?
Express.co.uk has contacted a Coronation Street representative for comment.
Despite Daniel being there every step of the way, Sinead’s fears may take its toll on the relationship.
After admitting her fears to Daniel, the mum-of-one broke down.
Daniel seemed completely unaware of Sinead’s worries, but the pair eventually cleared the air.
Will the couple drift apart as they struggle to come to terms with what’s going on?
Coronation Street continues Friday on ITV at 7.30pm.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an improved surveillance system, more particularly to a surveillance system with the function of driving the camera for the scanning and tracking automatically by using a control panel, a motor controller, and a driver to drive the motor. Such motor works together with a rotary disc and a camera lens as well as a sensor to compute and save the direction and angle of rotation of the motor by the sensing signal.
2. Description of the Related Art
The prior art surveillance system generally sets a camera on a motor-driven rotary device and allows the camera to scan sideway back and forth with a specific rotary speed in order to expand the scope of the surveillance of a fixed camera. The shortcomings of such traditional rotary camera surveillance include the blind spots created in the fixed traveling distance and the long time taken for the back and forth scanning of the camera. Bad people who intend to intrude the premises may get away with it very easily, and thus such system cannot really serve as a surveillance system in actual practice. To put the surveillance function into actual practice, current prior-art products have made improvements by adding a multi-functional camera device, such as the spherical camera attached to the ceiling which has the scanning, positioning, and tracking functions during the anti-theft surveillance and tape recording. Although improvements have been made, the components involved are complicated, and it thus increases the manufacturing cost. Furthermore, it requires coding related software program for the operation, which is also one of the shortcomings. As to the mechanical structure of the prior art surveillance system, the electric potential device is rotated in an equal distance and in synchronization with the rotation of the motor axle of the system. Generally, the mechanical structure of an electric potential device limits the rotary angle within 240 degrees, but such limitation fails to meet the requirements for the surveillance and recording environment.
To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art technology, and make the application more convenient and practical, the present inventor herein enhances the performance of the conventional surveillance system by performing a series of researches and developments to maximize the performance of the surveillance system, and finally succeeds to invent an improved structure of the surveillance system.
The main objective of this invention is to provide an improved structure for a surveillance system having the function of automatically driving and controlling the camera for the scanning and tracking by using a control panel, a motor controller, and a driver to drive and control the motor, and such motor works together with a rotary disc and a camera lens as well as works with a sensor to compute and memorize the direction and angle of rotation of the motor by the sensing signal.
To make it easier for our examiner to understand the objective of the invention, its structure, innovative features, and its performance, we use a preferred embodiment together with the attached drawings for the detailed description of the invention.
While the invention is described with respect to the embodiments and figures given below, the invention is not to be considered limited in scope to these embodiments, since variations and modification could be made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims.
The description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Please refer to FIG. 1. The present invention relates to an improved surveillance system, comprising: a motor 10, a rotary disc 11, a camera lens 12, a plurality of sensors, a driver 2, a motor controller 3, and a control display system; wherein the driving axle of the motor 2 is coupled to the rotary disc 11 and the camera lens 12, and the sensors is installed onto the circumference of the rotary disc 11 with more than one light obstructer 13, and such light obstructer 13 can transmit the light passing signal to the motor controller 3. The control display system comprises a control panel 4 and a screen 5; wherein the control panel 4 further comprises a display panel 41, with the operating mode 42, set up 43, input 44, and reset 45, etc. The instruction line 46 sends instructions to the motor controller 3; and after the determination and analysis, the driver 2 will drive the motor either clockwise or anti-clockwise to a specific position, and the camera lens will output the image to the screen 5.
Please refer to
The operating mode of the surveillance system constituted by the foregoing components rotates the camera lens anti-clockwise to the starting point, and presets a plurality of surveillance positions for the camera with the appropriate surveillance and taping mode as required by the user. The user can also control and start the surveillance camera directly.
Please refer to
Please refer to
Please refer to
After the present invention is assembled as described above, it mainly provides an improved structure of a surveillance system with a function of automatically monitoring and recording the surveillance environment at several predetermined positions, and several operating modes can be set as the user's choice. In the meantime, the surveillance system of the present invention also has both automatic operating mode and manual operating mode. Furthermore, the present invention may work with a computer to accomplish the long-distance surveillance by remote control via the Internet. The present invention adopts the non-touching sensor such as the light obstructer and proximately connected switch, which can obtain a wider angle for the driven motor and the camera lens.
While the invention has been described in details by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
In summation of the above description, the present invention not only provides an innovative space configuration, but also enhances the performance of the conventional surveillance system, of which no identical or similar disclosure has been found in the market yet. The present invention further complies with the patent application requirements and is submitted to the Patent and Trademark Office for review and granting of the commensurate patent rights.

The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) is calling for a year delay in the introduction of minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES) for rental properties as it argues the legislation will ‘fail’ older rural properties.
From the 1st of April 2018 it will be illegal to let a property that has an energy performance certificate (PC) rating of below E. However, the CLA argues that this will lead to thousands of rental properties across rural England and Wales becoming incorrectly illegal to let.
Confusion remains as to whether listed buildings are exempt from the regulations, with the CLA suggesting that there needs to be a clear understanding of which buildings are affected.
It has also voiced concerns that people who own older homes are being pushed by the ruling into taking efficiency improvement measures that are either inappropriate or outright harmful’ to the structure and character of traditional homes.
A key concern is that older properties are built to allow moisture to move through the wall. In contrast, modern buildings are constructed with an impermeable layer of insulation to prevent moisture getting into the structure from the outside. Adding this layer to a traditional structure could damage the property and harm the occupier.
Furthermore, the way in which the government assess the energy efficiency of buildings is biased against old homes, with one third of properties set to be affected by MEES given a lower EPC than they deserve. This is because the EPC rating actually indicates how cost effective a property is to heat rather than how energy efficient it is.
Finally, the MEES legislation was originally drafted on the basis that property owners could procure financial support to make any improvements under the Green Deal. However, the Green Deal was scrapped in 2015, yet the legislation has not been updated.
CLA deputy president Tim Breitmeyer said: ‘We support the principles behind the MEES regulations, but there are so many errors, delays and uncertainties that it is almost impossible to advise anyone on how to be proactive and ensure compliance. This has a negative effect on landlords, tenants and the government’s own policy objectives. Without the framework in place it is unjustifiable to ask landlords to act on the regulations when so much remains unclear.’

The Queen star Dame Helen Mirren has signed up to play another monarch – Catherine the Great.
The Oscar-winning actress came up with the idea for the Sky and HBO drama, saying she had always wanted to play the Russian empress.
The 72-year-old said she was attracted to the idea of playing such a powerful woman.
She said of the mini-series: “I am very excited by the possibility of embodying a woman from history who grabbed and then wielded great power.
“She rewrote the rules of governance by a woman, and succeeded to the extent of having the word Great attached to her name – Catherine the Great.”
The four-part drama, which will begin filming later this year, “delves into the politically tumultuous and sexually charged court of the most powerful female monarch in history”.
The drama will follow Catherine towards the end of her reign and her passionate affair with Grigory Potemkin in a “story of obsessive love”.
David M Thompson, executive producer for Origin Pictures, said: “Helen Mirren came to me with the idea for Catherine the Great when we were working with her on Woman In Gold, saying it’s a part she’s always wanted to play.
“I’m delighted we’re now making the series and indeed we can’t think of anyone better for the role.”
Charlie Pattinson, executive producer for New Pictures, said: “Catherine was one of the most powerful and extraordinary women in history. She deserves to be portrayed by an actress as fiercely intelligent and instinctive as Helen Mirren.”
Sky said the Russian empress was “the definition of the modern woman”, wielding supreme power throughout Russia for nearly half of the 18th century, and for being “strong-minded, independent, brilliantly intelligent and sexually liberated”.
The drama is written by Elizabeth I’s Nigel Williams and directed by Philip Martin, whose credits include Prime Suspect, as well as The Crown.
Dame Helen won a best actress Oscar for her role in The Queen and also played the monarch on stage in The Audience.
Catherine The Great will air on Sky Atlantic and TV streaming service NOW TV in the UK and Ireland next year, and will be broadcast around the world.

Just a quick photo share today, blog-readers. I did a lovely (in my unbiased opinion) shoot for a family on location at their farm in Birch Vale. 17 of them! The nice thing about doing this sort of thing at a farm is that there are plenty of options for a big group, far more than squashing them into a studio. It makes it more personal, too. In the end we settled on some bales of hay (or rather, they did. I stood in front of them, as you might reasonably expect).
This was the “big photo” of everyone, a 60th birthday present for one of the gentleman at the front.
What I really wanted to show you however, is this one:
The sun came out so we went outside, and these small boys (cousins I believe) playing in their natural habitat was too good to miss. I love the golden light and natural qualities of the photo.
For the photo geeks amongst you, I’ll post this one too – as I think it stands as a testament to the fine quality of my favourite lens – a Canon 24-70 f2.8L mk2. Look how sharp her eyes are, and how smooth and creamy the background is. Lovely.
Anyway, that’s all for now. Nice wedding post for you next week.
Thanks for looking


Progressive Democrats have lost substantial ground over the past year, weakened by a combination of real-world events and smart tactics by their centrist rivals for the upper hand in intra-party disputes. In fact, the ascendance of more left-wing politicians and policies within the Democratic Party may have peaked — with real potential that some progressive advances will be reversed.
In the months after the 2020 election, it looked as though progressive Democrats had advanced on four fronts. On economic policy, the Biden administration and congressional Democrats adopted a huge stimulus with little regard for its effect on the budget deficit. On domestic policy, the administration was pushing a sweeping bill that would have moved the United States closer to a European-style social safety net. On racial issues, President Biden and other Democrats were embracing a sustained effort to address disparities and discrimination, particularly around policing. And on electoral politics, fresh off the Democrats’ victories in Georgia, the party seemed open to electoral strategies beyond its usual focus on winning White swing voters.
But big problems emerged last year in all four of these areas — and more centrist Democrats leaped to blame the left and its ideas.
There was a big surge in the murder rate, and centrist Democrats such as New York City Mayor Eric Adams have suggested that the increase was in part because Democrats had gone too far in embracing police reform.
Inflation surged, which Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and other moderate Democrats blamed on big increases in federal spending and other economic policies pushed by progressives.
On domestic policy, the Build Back Better Act (BBB) stalled, with centrist Democrats such as Rep. Stephanie Murphy (Fla.) arguing the party’s left pushed too hard to get their preferred policies into the legislation.
And in electoral politics, Biden’s approval rating sank, and Democrats performed dismally in gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, losing the latter and almost the former. More centrist figures in the party such as prominent political consultant James Carville attributed the party’s political weaknesses to progressives damaging the Democratic brand.
All these arguments were oversimplifications, and in some cases they were outright wrong. Yes, the stimulus and other big spending policies urged by progressives contributed to inflation, but supply-chain disruptions and other issues related to the covid-19 pandemic were also a major factor. It is ludicrous to blame the party’s left wing for the loss in Virginia when the moderate Biden-aligned Terry McAuliffe was the candidate. The main barriers to passing BBB were centrists such as Murphy and Manchin; progressives kept dropping their demands, desperate for anything to pass. Murder rates rose across the country, not just in places that adopted more progressive criminal justice policies.
More than that, real-world events were, in fact, validating the left’s arguments. Child poverty plummeted when the federal government simply gave families money directly through the tax credits in the stimulus, the kind of big-government policy the left has long urged. The political struggles of Biden and McAuliffe showed, as the left has argued, that voters won’t be satisfied with a do-little Democratic Party even if it is fairly moderate ideologically and focused on wooing White swing voters. The murder rate surged even as police spending either stayed the same or increased, bolstering the progressive argument that reducing crime will take more comprehensive strategies than just relying on law enforcement.
But despite all that, the centrist arguments gained traction. That’s partly because the mainstream media, the wealthy and Biden himself are skeptical of progressives and inclined to take the side of centrist Democrats in intra-party fights. One telling example: Presidents don’t usually comment on local elections, but Biden joined much of the media in casting last month’s recall of San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin as a sign that voters across the country want more police spending.
And because these anti-left arguments have become conventional wisdom in Democratic circles, they are resulting in policy and electoral defeats for the party’s left wing. Biden started downplaying police reform while he and other Democrats leaned into pro-police rhetoric and funding increases. Most of BBB has been shelved. The Federal Reserve, with the encouragement of many centrist Democrats, is taking aggressive steps to rein in inflation that are likely to reduce wages and increase unemployment.
Give the centrists their due: They have many advantages (like the backing of wealthy Democrats and Biden), but they also have been smart, strategic and focused. For example, they have spent tens of millions of dollars to defeat left-wing candidates in primaries in heavily Democratic areas, closing off one path to power for the left. And, in many cases over the past year, the progressives have not been as savvy. The emphatic insistence last year from many prominent left-wing figures that inflation was “transitory” and overstated cost them credibility as prices stayed up. In New York City, progressives didn’t mobilize behind a single candidate early on, easing Adams’s path to victory.
Overall, while there are a lot of progressive activists, groups and prominent politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), left-wing Democrats are struggling in part because they don’t have a formal leadership structure or political strategy.
Now, they face a troubling future — a Biden-led Democratic Party that is likely to lose in November and then argue that the defeat is a further repudiation of left-wing ideas. The 2024 election cycle could feature the party adopting conservative ideas, abandoning liberal ones and potentially even trying to defeat prominent progressives such as Ocasio-Cortez in primaries.
But all is not lost for progressives. While more centrist Democrats have greater power and money, many of the party’s most compelling ideas and figures come from its left wing. The left’s arguments that the party’s political strategy is outdated have been validated by Biden’s struggles. And real-world events over the past few months, particularly the spate of mass shootings and the upending of abortion rights, not only make it hard for the party to move to the right but are pushing it left.
So the triangulating Democratic Party of 1995 isn’t coming back. The big question is whether the deficits-don’t-matter, firmly antiracist party of March 2021 is permanently gone, too.


chef interview: Collin Cormier
chef Collin Cormier
Viva La Waffle (*updated Pop's PoBoys)
Sunday, September 29, 2013
interview by Katie Culbert with photography by Denny Culbert
(ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN VOL. 2 of RUNAWAY DISH MAGAZINE)
We sat with Collin on a Sunday afternoon just two weeks after his first son, Jack, was born. We chatted about being a father, bringing a food truck to a non-food truck town, and gravy……lots of gravy.
In my family, the men were always the cooks. They liked to drink and cook, so they made a lot of stuff that took a long time. It was more of a social event than just knocking out a recipe. A lot of gravies, a lot of smothered stuff – that sort of thing. Because all the men in my family were cooks, I always knew, at the very least, that would be my role in family.
There was so much rice and gravy and smothered stuff growing up. We ate rice and gravy so much that something like a hamburger was a whole different thing, a special thing. One time in particular I got mad and complained that we always had rice and gravy and threw a hissy fit. Of course as I got older, left home, and went to college, rice and gravy was all I wanted. I started asking my dad to make rice and gravy. He would look at me and say mockingly, “You want rice and gravy, but wealways have rice and gravy.” He still rags me.
I was always a terrible math student, barely passing in elementary school, high school, and college. In culinary school, we had to take “culinary math”, and I totally got it. It all made sense to me when you put it in the application of food. I got an A in math which was like the craziest thing that ever happened. That was when I started thinking that I was doing the right thing. It all clicked for me at that point.
I did a stage at Commander’s Palace while in school. You just go in and they throw you into the fire. That was the first time I was in a commercial kitchen. It was crazy…. scary…. but in a good way. With culinary school, everything is sort of idealistic. They teach the way things should be. Commander’s was much more of a pirate ship than the classic French situation.
When I came back from culinary school I got my first real kitchen job at Tsunami. I started out on the grill and then I just sort of learned everything. I learned how to make sushi, but I could never be as good as a lot of those guys.
The sous chef position was opening up at Blue Dog Cafe. Owner, Steve Santillo, reached out to me to interview for that job and I got it. Two weeks later the executive chef left to go to City Club. Steve was like, hey it’s been two weeks, how are you liking it so far, do want to give it a try as executive chef?
Of course I said sure. So I got my first sous chef job and two weeks later I got my first executive chef job.
The first time I ever realized that there was tourism in Lafayette was while working at Blue Dog. I mean, I guess I always knew that, but I didn’t realize it was as big as it was. Every night we would have international tourists and people from all over the country. I was creating Louisiana “specials” and serving it to people who had never experienced this kind of food. It was really fun.
I always thought the food truck thing was cool. I knew eventually it would come here just because we are such a food centric community. The more I started seeing it happen nationally, the more I thought someone’s going to do it. So I sort of felt pressure to be the one who did it.
I was really of the mindset that because the truck idea was new to Lafayette, it was important that the concept be new as well. A lot of people think, “Oh, you’re a truck. That’s different enough.” No. You have to make sure you offer something that you can only get at one place, so people will go find you. That’s the beauty of a food truck.
The day before the truck was supposed to arrive in Lafayette, I got a call from the trucker saying he was in Panama City and his transport truck had jack-knifed. Our truck was fine, but we he was stuck and didn’t know how long it would be before he could get on the road again. Within 20 minutes of that call, I packed a bag, got in a car, and took off with my wife Jasmyne to Florida. The first time I ever got in my truck, I drove it seven straight hours. It was all white knuckle the whole way home. I was too afraid to even turn the radio on.
Looking back on how we were doing things when we first opened is sort of laughable now. It takes three minutes to make a waffle. We thought it would be this thing where someone comes to the window, places an order, and we put the waffle down, cook it for three minutes, make the other stuff, then make the sandwich with the waffle. We quickly realized, no, this is not working because people walk up and order five or six at time. So we added toaster ovens and racks and made adjustments. It was a huge learning curve. And still everyday we figure out something that makes it a little faster and more efficient.
A typical food truck day for me is 5:30am to 7pm. There have been times when it rained for a week and we just couldn’t go out. Or we have had generator problems that kept us down for a day. There were a lot of times I thought if I went back to a restaurant, it wouldn’t matter what the weather was like or if the generator was working. There have definitely been those moments where I thought it’s more trouble than it’s worth to be on a truck. But in the end, when everything is running the way it’s supposed to be running, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
What’s cool about it is you are literally interacting with every person that is coming to buy food. Jasmyne is taking their orders, and I’m physically handing them out. Plus a lot of people eat outside by the truck so you get to see them and talk to them. You feel part of the experience, in a way, more so than when you are in the back of a restaurant serving nameless whoever.
Another good thing about the Viva La Waffle concept that I really didn’t anticipate is that the only requirement is it has to be on the waffle. There’s no ethnic requirement, it can be sweet, it can be savory, it can be anything. The entire food universe is open to me. All I have to do is figure out which ingredients work together and get them in the waffle. The waffle is the vessel for anything.
The Roscoe out the gate was our most popular sandwich, and it probably always will be. It’s fried chicken in a waffle with spicy sriracha honey. Bleu cheese coleslaw is optional….but you need it. It became a signature item by accident.
We originally thought we would have a mostly young crowd, but we really get all ages and all walks of life. There is no particular type of person that is a Viva La Waffle regular. We have guys in suits, firemen, students, nurses. It’s been a nice surprise that we are not a niche concept. We thought young people were the only people who would get on social media and come find us.
I don’t think you are ever prepared for parenthood. It’s been two weeks and it’s still weird. You realize over and over again that you have a child. Oh my god there’s a kid at my house and it’s mine! That continuously happens.
My friend Randy put it best. Right before Jack was born he said it’s probably weird that there’s this person and you haven’t met him yet, but he’s already your favorite person. And that’s totally how it is. It is weird to be immediately in love and protective and that it all happens in one day.

The swank shrine to Korean grill-your-own barbecue, complete with a seemingly infinite parade of banchan, the miniature bowls of Korean side dishes that zigzag between kimchee and jelly noodle salad and all sorts of other curiosities that remain mysterious to me, opened in early June, and the elegant dining room, with dark wood, melodic fountains and waterfalls, stone-cemented walls and hardwoods, is more than just a quick stop to get your prime-grade bulgogi fix.
"We renovated about 60 percent of the restaurant when we took it over, and while there are quite a few Korean restaurants in Denver, people have figured out that it's really nice here, that it's spacious and that the food is better than everywhere else," says general manager Patrick Choi, who glides across the dining room in an impeccably pressed suit. "Our chef is from Korea, he notes, "and he's cooked in New York and Los Angeles, and and his food is prepared in a more current and modern style while still respecting tradition."
And the diners, adds Choi, keep coming back for more -- more boiled oxen head soup, more sweet potato noodles bobbing in a cold beef broth, more steak tartare with toasted sesame, Asian pears and pine nuts, more Korean sausage soup and bibimbap. "We've had one Korean guy who's come in every day for two weeks in a row, sometimes twice a day," says Choi. "They keep telling me that they have nowhere else to go for Korean food -- that's the feedback that I'm getting from our repeat customers."
After clogging my gut with more food than anyone has a right to -- the banchan alone feeds three, quite possibly four -- Choi can count me among his devoted disciples. Take a look through our gallery of photos to get a taste.

Consumer Costs vs Enthusiast Costs
Subject: We had it tough and we STILL have it tough
My normal Marcus had it tough (and expensive) storyline was the time, some say it was in 1970 something when I bought a 79Kilo Byte Wangco Single Sided and Single Density Diskette drive for 350 pounds. I am pretty sure that in today's 2016 money that is at least 1000 British pounds.
Today I just want to put a shout out for 2 low cost products and moan about 1 not yet working high cost one.
This is especially relevant as if you are wondering what to give that Computer focused partner or child I can tell you some socks just won't cut it these days.
For less than 60GBP you can get yourself a fully working Raspberry Pi 3 with a memory card and power supply. Simply add a USB keyboard, download and install the Raspbian (or other) Operating System.
You have to be a complete Computer head in the sand Ostritch to ignore this brilliant low cost computer platform
I already praised Asrock for its low cost ITX product range but now I have found an even cheaper computer, namely the AM1B. It is an insane 43 CHF (about 35 GBP) from our local Swiss computer store. And to it you'd need to add a mini ITX case and power supply, a low power CPU and some DDR3 memory.
For Marcus I have lots of old DDR3 memory kicking around and a cheap ITX case too, so only an AMD AM1 CPU . Some specs
Supports AMD Socket AM1 Athlon/Sempron APU
Supports DDR3 1600 memory, 2 x DIMM slots, Max. 32GB
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16
Integrated AMD Radeon™ R3 Series Graphics in A-series / E-series APU
Multi Graphics Output Options : D-Sub, DVI-D, HDMI
1 x Parallel Port, 1 x COM Port Header
4 x USB 3.0 (2 Front, 2 Rear), 6 x USB 2.0 (4 Front, 2 Rear), 4 x SATA3
Realtek Gigabit LAN
5.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC662 Audio Codec)
Supports ASRock Full Spike Protection, A-Tuning, APP Shop, FAN-Tastic Tuning, UEFI Tech Service, USB Key
Again, this consumer level pricing is to me quite insane!
Initially I prototyped a dedicated Webserver on the Raspberry Pi but it could just not server out data quickly enough. I think the Asrock with AMD Quad core CPU power and Gigabit Ethernet will do the job. (Oh and to be clear my Webserver needs to be able to serve over 2,000 Giga Bytes, I mean over 2TBytes per day). We will see!
Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4
Actually I'm still working with the Motherboard manufacturer to diagnose why our new Workstationcannot boot so it would be unfair to name them just yet.
But let me just say that at over 2500 USD per processor, and this being a 2 CPU system, I am really hoping that they fix the problem.
Sometimes pushing for State of the Art is not what is cracked up to be. Currently heartache and pissing about with EFI boot loaders, and not actually getting anywhere :-(
01 If you do not have a Raspberry Pi in the house and you are at all interested in Computers you really need your head examining.
It is the ideal sensibly priced Christmas present for your Computer obsessed partner or child wanting to really get into Linux and Hardware
02 And for a sensibly priced Appliance computer something based on the Asrock AM1B with a 5370 CPU should fly. But wait for my build, review and test if you are paranoid
Finally as a perfectionist you may have to wait quite a while later for the new Xeon Workstation build story, because really these are busy times.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has accused Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, of deception regarding his intervention in the university lecturers’ strike earlier in the year.
This was after the Speaker asked the union to call off its eight-month-old strike in October with a written promise that the government would offset in full the salary arrears its members were owed.
Emmanuel Osodeke, the president of the union, gave this position on Tuesday when he was asked to reflect on the speaker’s intervention and then vice versa on the current situation of their issues with the Federal Government.
In an interview with Tribune, he said ASUU had a soft spot for the speaker and that was why the union engaged him in a discussion as a welcome intervention to resolve the stalemate between it and the F.G.
Osodeke noted that Gbajabiamila even presented a paper signed by him to ASUU leadership indicating the seriousness of the government to pay in full the owed eight-month salaries of its members.
He said part of these concerns were the peculiarities in the controversial Universities Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), the involvement of the house committee on budget allocation, among others.
According to Osodoke, ASUU members praised him just as the whole world did at the period for his intervention without knowing it was all a deceit.
“But here we are till today, nothing has been done over the promise and that is why the Speaker did not say anything tangible since then at least on the issues let alone ensure that his promises are carried out,” Osodeke stressed.
He said the Speaker would need to prove ASUU wrong on its impression by implementing his promises to the union.
Osodeke said ASUU members are only remaining in the classrooms in spite of the unfavourable treatment from the government as a sacrifice for the sake of students and parents as well as the country at large.
He berated the judiciary for hurriedly passing judgment on their matter with the FG as the court adjourned the case till January 26.
According to him, the sensitivity of the case should have caused it to be addressed in whole, given speedy hearing and concluded without necessarily being delayed.
Nonetheless, he rated the outgoing year as a very bad one for the education sector in Nigeria, noting that great damage had really been done to the sector by the current administration.
He described the situation as catastrophic and prayed that the next government would be courageous enough to declare a state of emergency in the sector and fix the mess that he said would take up to four or five years to clear.

New Mexico Appleseed is a nonprofit organization working to alleviate the state’s rampant hunger and homelessness that afflicts the innocent children of low-income families. The statistics they’ve compiled are startling. Nearly 29 percent of all New Mexico children are hungry, and 25.7 percent of these young ones live in poverty. The unemployment average for parents is 38 percent. Due to this statistic, the school lunch program provides a critical source of nutrition for many poor elementary and middle school students. But, until recently, reports AppleseedNetwork.org, if parents couldn’t pay their child’s school lunch bill, the children would pay for it with public humiliation. In some cases, their hot meals were thrown into the trash “in front of everyone.” The affected students were then given a sandwich, some fruit and milk, reports the New York Times, along with a good dose of ridicule and shame.
Other examples of this “lunch shaming” include having the children work off their debt by doing chores in the cafe, wearing wristbands, and even being sent home with “I need lunch money” stamped on their hands.
This shaming policy, however, has finally come to an end in New Mexico, thanks to the work of the New Mexico Appleseed. Their executive director Jennifer Ramo and State Senator Michael Padilla who introduced a bill titled the Hunger-Free Students’ Bill of Rights, which was signed into law by New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez on April 6, 2017.
Ms. Ramos said that when people of both political affiliations truly grasped what was going on, “… they were genuinely horrified that schools were allowed to throw out children’s food or make them work to pay off debt … but it happens every day.” And while New Mexico is not the only state that is doing something about this “lunch shaming” tactic, there are other states where this heinous practice continues without notice from authorities. Alabama has required students to be stamped with “I Need Lunch Money” on their arm. Three years ago, The Salt Lake Tribune reported on forty children in Utah who were served their lunch, but when they got to the cash register and the debt was discovered, their “food was thrown away because of outstanding balances on their account.”
Because of New Mexico’s new legislation, it is hoped that other states will follow suit. But the combination of debt, food and local school districts dependent on money from the federal government is akin to a tidal wave rolling onto the shoreline. In 2014, The Atlantic did its own investigation into the effects of “unpaid lunch tabs” and surveyed more than 1100 school districts. They found that 71 percent of those districts had unpaid food debt, ranging from as little as $2 to $4.7 million. They also report that 38 percent of children in these districts ” can’t afford to pay for their lunches,” and that number is growing as poverty and economic difficulties increase.
The USDA, which is in charge of the school nutrition programs, hasn’t been of much assistance. Their retort is that these debt problems “are a matter of local discretion,” so some folks are using their own heart and intuition to find ways to settle these debts and protect hungry school children. According to CNBC, a tweet by Ashley Ford, who is a writer in New York City, raised $100,000 by suggesting people check with their local school district to help pay off lunch debts. USA Today reports of a $500 gift from a mystery donor to pay off all the lunch debts, “from kindergarten to 12th grade” in Port Clinton, Ohio.
Here’s something even more tasty to consider. Why not donate a Mini-Farm GrowBox 2.0 to a local school so they can start growing their own food?

Scotland Road was created in the 1770s as a turnpike road to Preston, Lancashire, via Walton, Liverpool and Burscough. It became part of a stagecoach route to Scotland, hence its name. In 1803, it was partly widened, and streets of working class housing laid out either side as Liverpool expanded. Scotland Road was at the centre of working class life for the people of the surrounding Everton, Vauxhall, and Islington, areas near the north Liverpool docks and Liverpool city centre.
The population in Victorian times was swelled by the arrival of thousands of Irish migrants, many of whom had fled Ireland's Great Hunger. The area became known for having numerous Irish-Catholic residents. The Liverpool Scotland UK Parliament constituency was represented by an Irish Nationalist MP until 1929.
The area had a vibrant community but was often associated with poor housing, poverty, violence, and sectarian divisions. Many dwellings in the area were demolished in the 1930s, and replacement housing included corporation flats. After World War II ended, in 1945, many residents were rehoused in new council houses in areas such as Croxteth, Kirkby, Huyton, Norris Green, and Stockbridge Village, leaving Scotland Road in a state of steady decline. Housing was further cleared by the construction of the second Mersey tunnel. There were once 200 public houses in the Scotland Road area, but most of them have now gone.
Scotland Road Free School
Scotland Road Free School was a short-lived example of democratic education established 1970 by two local teachers. It was based at Major Street, just off Scotland Road. A related project, Liverpool Community Transport was established in a disused transport depot in nearby Leeds Street.
Liverpool John Moores University
Famous "Scottie Roaders"
- Tom Baker (born 1934) – actor (best known for playing the Fourth Doctor in Doctor Who)
- Cilla Black (1943–2015) – singer and television personality
- David Cowley – Lord Mayor of Liverpool from 1965 to 1966
- Thomas Cecil Gray (1913–2008) – pioneering anaesthetist
- Holly Johnson (born 1960) – singer in the group Frankie Goes to Hollywood
- Rt Rev Thomas Anthony Williams (born 1948) – Auxiliary Bishop of Liverpool
The term "Scotland Road" can also be used as a slang reference to a corridor or passageway which allows crew access to the length of a vehicle. For example:
- On board the RMS Titanic, a broad, lower-deck working corridor on E Deck, which ran the length of the ship, was referred to by crew as "Scotland Road" (and by officers as "Park Lane").
- Jeffrey Hatcher's play, Scotland Road, refers to that corridor of the Titanic.

Veteran producer-director J. P. McGowan helmed this minor western starring one of the very best of the late silent-era cowboys, New York-born Tom Tyler. Tyler had begun his screen career with FBO, but as that studio started gearing up for talkies (eventually merging into what would become RKO), the strapping actor moved over to McGowan's Syndicate Film Exchange operation. Releasing silent westerns with synchronized scores and a few sound-effects long after most other firms had switched to talkies, Syndicate's patrons were small theaters not yet fully equipped for sound. Almost all the films were directed by McGowan himself and scripted by Sally Winters, utilizing the same casts and as few sets as possible. The Lone Horseman tells the story of a rancher who, just released from the hospital, learns that his property has been sold by a treacherous friend to someone named Pat. Intending to administer "Pat" a solid beating, Tyler discovers that the bearer of the name is actually an elderly widow (Emma Tansey) who lives with her pretty niece (Charlotte Winn). Drawn to the niece, Tyler hangs around incognito long enough to rescue the women from a gang of outlaws who have discovered that there is gold in them thar hills.

WASHINGTON -- When Susan Rice's potential nomination to the post of secretary of state hit another snag this past week, the White House found itself in a quandary.
On Wednesday, a publication affiliated with the Natural Resources Defense Council dug into the ambassador to the United Nations' financial disclosures, and discovered that she and her husband were heavily invested in several oil companies in western Canada including one, Transcanada, that currently has a project under review at the State Department.
As secretary of state, Rice would have to oversee the review of that project, the Keystone XL pipeline, which has dragged on for several controversial and tortured years.
It would be an obvious conflict of interest, and were she to be confirmed as secretary of state, Rice would almost certainly have to divest from her shares in Transcanada. The ties could give some senators pause over whether to confirm her for the post.

Examining the New England Patriots' roster:
Might be the best quarterback depth chart, from top to bottom, in Bill Belichick's 15 years as coach.
RUNNING BACKS (4)
The Patriots are always good for a surprise, and we've had our antenna up at this position since early July. If there's a surprise, we'll play a hunch at this spot with Stevan Ridley, whose low snap total Friday (11 snaps) in a "dress rehearsal" game caught the eye. Meanwhile, Roy Finch lands on the practice squad.
The Patriots are relying on him a lot, given their shortage at tight end.
TIGHT ENDS (2)
A position to monitor on the waiver wire and in free agency to see if any options present themselves, similar to last year with Matthew Mulligan.
WIDE RECEIVERS (6)
Last week, we had Brian Tyms making the club but not counting against the 53-man roster because of his four-game suspension to open the season. But the fact he hasn't received any playing time with Tom Brady has me rethinking that scenario. I wonder if Boyce could generate any trade interest from teams who might have been high on him in the 2013 draft. Assuming there's nothing there, it feels generous to keep him based on his training camp and preseason performance, but the depth might be needed, especially with a thinner tight-end situation. But one thing to consider is that he is practice-squad eligible.
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10)
LT Nate Solder
RG Dan Connolly
LT/RT/RG Marcus Cannon
LG Josh Kline
OT/G Jordan Devey
The feeling here is that the Patriots' best line to start the season is the one they finished with in 2013, which isn't probably the way they planned it to go, in part because of Stork's injury that has sidelined him since the fifth day of training camp. Sixth-round pick Jon Halapio would wind up on the practice squad in this scenario, which would make this writer look foolish for declaring him a sure-fire lock back in July. The hope would be to have him clear waivers and land on the practice squad.
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (9)
DT Chris Jones
DT Joe Vellano
DE Zach Moore
Moore has been improving and the feeling here is that the sixth-round pick from Concordia-St. Paul wouldn't make it through to the practice squad. If things unfold this way, the Patriots probably hope that Jerel Worthy will.
A little thin at this spot. Banking on Steve Beauharnais, James Morris and Ja'Gared Davis clearing waivers and being top options to land on the practice squad.
Because Browner is suspended for the first four regular-season games, he won't count against the initial 53-man roster limit. But he is included here because he is obviously a significant part of the team's overall planning for the 2014 season. Butler, an undrafted free agent from West Alabama, is the surprise story of the preseason.
The toughest decision was between Chung and Tavon Wilson, and perhaps they both stick -- or both go. The reason Chung gets the nod is that there's a chance Wilson could still stick on the practice squad if he clears waivers, based on new eligibility rules.
Things are looking settled here as specialists had a highlight Friday with Gostkowski's 60-yard field goal.

Anne Corbiere, textile designer and weaver and Vincent Corbiere, sculptor, photographer and furniture-maker often collaborate to produce gallery shows and commissioned pieces. The duo is based in Anjou, France where they create textiles, furniture and sculptures both for their prolific individual practices and their collaborative work.
Anne and Vincent have always been passionate about history and about learning from and working with other cultures. Vincent’s initial training with the Compagnons de Devoir crafts guild and later his work as a classical guitar luthier, combined with Anne’s beginnings as a costumer in opera and film, brings a myriad of references and perspective to their creations. Travel to distant lands, collaborations with ethnic workshops and artisans have nourished their artistic vocabulary.
They have produced over seven collaborative shows since 1998, along with creating pieces together for select commissions and collections. Their collaborative creations are available through the Galerie du Passage in Paris, and Twentyfirst Gallery in NYC.
