Management Style Turnaround Leads To Growing Company
Andy's Burgers, Shakes & Fries is about to cross state lines.
The Goldsboro, North Carolina-based casual dining company has 98 locations throughout its home state — 48 corporately owned and 50 franchised, and founder and president Kenney Moore says it's time to grow even more.
Moore established Andy's Burgers in 1991, just after he was fired from his position as a district manager of a restaurant chain. Aged 28, with an 18-month-old baby (the eponymous Andy), and just $500 in his pocket, he set up the business then abruptly turned it around after his first year in business.
At the end of that year, Moore was more than $30,000 behind in paying his food bills. Not willing to let this deter him, he decided to change his management style and focus on tomorrow instead of today.
Now Andy's Burgers, Shakes & Fries is on track to see sales of around $50 million this year but Moore is anything but complacent. He talks to RMGT about how he turned his company around and why his management style has worked.
How did you save your company from failure through your unique management style?
One night I was driving home and I realized I was just worried about me and I realized I needed to make this about other people. I decided to try and make other people successful first – I was going to meet their needs before mine. In another six months we were in the black.
I had four restaurants off the bat and I turned three of them into franchises. I allowed my managers to open their own franchises and now we have over 30 former workers – including servers — who have their own stores.
The right person works better with responsibility. I can't force anyone to be successful. If it's the right person they will share the values of what we stand for – of putting people first and working by example.
These are people who believe in the same values as me. They're still here and the others are gone. The servant leader mentality that we have has served us well.
Franchising was costly but I knew it was an investment in the future. In some cases I sold restaurants to franchisors for less than I'd paid for them but these people will be paying me a royalty fee for as long as they are in business. I've always been a guy who looks at the outcome, not the income. It's income forever vs. a little extra today.
What do you look for in your franchisees and how has it helped your company flourish?
Attitude, work ethic, passion. I don't expect other people to share my obsession but I want them to have the passion. If hard work bothers you, then you don't need to do this for a living.
Every person who comes onboard to purchase a franchise spends 30 to 60 minutes with me one-on-one. I don't care what their bank statement says; I don't care how they manage revenue. It's about values. Just a few key questions tell me where their minds are and most importantly where their hearts are. I can teach them all the important aspects of the business but I can't teach them heart.
These people are working for their own business and they will work hard for that because they know that everything is totally dependent on them. They know that the restaurant's success affects their bottom line and everyone's who works for them. They have an incentive to do well.
What are your plans for expanding through a franchise network?
We are enlisted in 12 states where we are actively seeking franchises. That sounds aggressive and it is, but we feel that after the past two years, with the economy, we've gotten a lot better. We are totally unafraid to expand beyond our borders – through the whole Southeast. We've finally got all our ducks in a row.
Do you have any concerns about expanding further afield?
Yes. I won't know all the people owning my restaurants. We will find as many ways as we can to communicate and know each other. I can't expect an owner to care unless they know how much as I care and they can't expect their staff to care until they care.
I'll work with the growing number of stores through constant communication and whatever I can think of to continue to preach our values. I've been doing managers' meetings for 20 years. I started off with three people in there. The message hasn't changed a lot. The delivery message has and the messager is a little grayer, but the message won't change in the next 20 years
I'm also worried about losing our values (extending yourself for others and meeting the needs of others before yourself) and our character. But if I saw that happen, I'd sell the company and walk off into the sunset.
We have everyone who works for us (franchisees, servers, etc.) fill in a personality test online to rate their personality against others and rate their values. So we're pretty dialed in to make sure we pick people with the right values. The very close relationship I have now with franchisees will become less [as we expand] but we'll retain it as much as we can with retreats, me being on the road more, and so on.
The night before we open a location, I talk to all the staff and I cook for them. It gives me a chance to give them some history, to share and to serve them – the newest people in Andy's family. I make sure everyone eats before I sit down and eat. It sends a subtle message I think.
Why are some stores corporately owned and some franchises?
Of our 98 stores, 48 are corporate owned. The franchise stores have a tendency to have slightly better sales. We've really had to learn to run 48 stores. Before we roll something out to the franchisees we test it in our corporate stores.
I think it's important that I own a lot of restaurants. If I'm only a franchisor I'm just getting paid royalty fees and you're only looking at the top-line. But by owning stores you find ways to drive the bottom line and find new things to do. So when they write you that royalty fee, franchisors are tickled because I'm doing the same thing they're doing.
We can give them other ideas on how to lower their food costs. One example is we instigated an inventory system in the corporate stores that I then rolled out to all of my stores.
Why is now the time to expand?
We have a store outside Charlotte (North Carolina) in Locust that is a long way from any of our other stores and it did so well that it proved we could do it. I think I just wanted to try this and see what our concept's made of.
It's also a great time. There are some high quality individuals out there that have been laid off in the past two years who just want a chance.
And lastly, because there's no time like the present.

AN END TO "SNOBBERY."
August 01, 2014 / Danny Bowes
The advent of a new Marvel (in this instance standing in for "geek" in the same way "Xerox" does for "photocopy") movie, joyous occasion though it is for many, is a time when the discourse among film critics, journalists, and fans crystallizes into a particularly nasty and distorted battlefield. While it's actually not often—in fact, rarely—true that both sides share proportionate blame, in this instance the animosity does derive from rhetorical tendencies in both camps. Fans, who by this point constitute a majority, have an ugly tendency to attack anyone who dares to deviate from across-the-board unilateral praise. Non-fans, who in the main favor increasingly marginalized forms of cinema and are thus on the defensive (particularly in the summer), tend to make the mistake of condescending to fandoms of various stripes, lumping them all in under an umbrella categorization of easy-to-please herd creatures of lesser intellect. It is, to put it mildly, an ugly situation.
I personally find myself in a very difficult position in these times, holding as I do something like dual citizenship in both warring nations. For several years, my primary outlet writing about film was a site, Tor.com, that specifically hired me to write about science-fiction/fantasy films from a science-fiction/fantasy film fan perspective. There was some rockiness, as I started getting better at analyzing and discussing things specific to cinema in the movies I was writing about, though it was my fierce loathing of the culture surrounding trailers and the way they're treated in modern film that signaled the beginning of the end of my time there. I still love all the people at Tor dearly, and certainly realized that my gradual and eventually total phasing-out there (well, almost total; there was never an official talk severing my ties over there, things just kind of died out) was just as much me as it was them, if not more so.
One thing I was spared, through the relative civility and sophistication of the Tor.com comments section, were accusations of snobbery and pretentiousness, a dual slur which nearly every other writer who tries to write seriously about film encounters frequently. (The raging misogyny women critics invariably face when doing anything but anointing geek movies with holy water is a separate issue, as misogyny is not a geek-exclusive property.) The slightest demurral that Marvel (and their competitors in the comics game frantically playing for the silver medal) movies lack textual depth, are visually homogenous, are preceded by ecosystem-dominating anhedonia-causing ad campaigns, and one is immediately branded a "snob."
Modern discourse has a snobbery problem, but it's not the kind people complaining about Guardians of the Galaxy losing a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating would have you believe. I've always hated the categorization of (great) movies like Animal House and Caddyshack as "slobs vs. snobs." The term was coined after the fact and does far more to dehumanize the frequently working class protagonists than it does to wave its ass at the upper-crust villains, and it substitutes glibness for accuracy. Snobbery is not synonymous with considering certain aspects of culture lesser than others. Snobbery is the state of considering certain aspects of culture lesser than others by default, and for no legitimate reason. A snob is someone who does not actually know what they're talking about, and hides behind the critical reputations established by people who actually do know what they're talking about as a means of avoiding a discussion. Pretentiousness, by definition, is a pretense to a higher level of intellect and cultural fluency than one actually possesses, and like snobbery, is a house of cards that collapses the second an actual smart person shows up.
That being said, a preference for or against a given thing is not ipso facto proof of snobbery and pretentiousness, and absent a prohibitively exalted facility with language and a complete familiarity with the other party's cultural worldview, the words "snob" and "pretentious" and their derivations should be used incredibly sparingly. Most of the people being accused of snobbery for not liking comic book movies simply prefer other kinds of movies. Most of the people accused of being "pretentious" for liking subtitles, alinearity, and existentialism aren't pretending. I woke up the other morning, watched, and thoroughly enjoyed Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries on Hulu Plus while I drank coffee and ate breakfast. There was no one here to impress. I didn't pretend to like it to seem cool. (If I had, I would've failed anyway; Bergman's later films starring an agonized Liv Ullman have much more cachet.) And, most importantly, I'm not going to walk around with my nose up and my zipper down accusing anyone who doesn't watch landmark Swedish cinema with their corn flakes of being a lesser being.
If we're to achieve a more civil discourse around this needlessly contentious subject, some ground rules are in order: fans of Marvel movies should be given the benefit of the doubt that they enjoy themselves in good faith just as someone not particularly interested in rushing out opening night should be given the benefit of the doubt that it simply isn't their thing. Neither has any correlation with intelligence or sophistication; I saw The Avengers three times and my intellect can melt planets (which is why I'm in talks to show up as Galactus in some sequel or other). I met a guy at a cocktail party in Williamsburg once who claimed to have "never read a 'B-novel,'" a statement dripping with such (actual) pretentiousness that I needed him to define what that meant; it turned out that it essentially meant he only read novels by white people who'd been dead for over a hundred years and considered cinema to be an inferior, mongrel art form. (The conversation ended with us outside smoking a joint and me, accurately but with a regrettable lack of diplomacy, telling him "you're fuckin stupid, man.") These are both personal examples, but hopefully illustrative of the larger point, which is one of the largest points there is: generalizations all too often do nothing but breed unnecessary enmity.
We're never all going to like the same things, but liking different things is not an automatic call to arms. It is possible to (figuratively) shake hands and agree to mutual respect. If geek culture can learn to more gracefully accept their victory and dominion over popular culture (part of which is ceasing the demand for universal adulation), we can go far, and if more critical parties can weather the advertising onslaughts with thicker skins and attempt to not regard Marvel as the death of cinema—cinema cannot be killed—we can go even farther. Now let us have a summit and sign this accord. For fuck's sake.

Charlie Sheen under investigation by LAPD 'threat' detectives

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department's "threat management" squad have opened a criminal investigation of actor Charlie Sheen, a police spokesman said on Wednesday.
Police disclosed little else about the investigation, which the LAPD spokesman, officer Mike Lopez, said began with a complaint lodged against the actor on March 31.
Lopez declined to provide any information about the nature of the alleged victim or threat, but said investigators had obtained a search warrant in the case, and that as of Wednesday afternoon had yet to contact Sheen.
Unconfirmed reports from media outlets, including Variety and RadarOnline.com, referred to an audio tape they said was at the center of the investigation.
A lawyer for Sheen, best known for his starring role on the long-running hit CBS comedy "Two and a Half Men," could not immediately be reached for comment.
The police investigation marks the latest brush with the law for the 50-year-old actor, whose career has been overshadowed for years by his admittedly raucous lifestyle, substance abuse, stints in rehab and legal troubles.
Last November, Sheen acknowledged he had been diagnosed as HIV-positive four years earlier and was being extorted for more than $10 million to keep that information quiet.
He pleaded guilty in August 2010 to assaulting his then-wife, Brooke Mueller, during a Christmas Day argument in Aspen, Colorado, and was sentenced to 30 days in a drug and alcohol treatment center in California.
According to Mueller's account of the Aspen incident in a police report, Sheen had pinned her to their bed and put a knife to her throat. The couple later divorced.
In March 2011, a judge ordered their two sons removed from the actor's home after Mueller obtained a stay-away order against Sheen, claiming he had threatened her.

The Salt Lake Oil Field is an oil field underneath the city of Los Angeles, California.  Discovered in 1902, and developed quickly in the following years, the Salt Lake field was once the most productive in California; over 50 million barrels of oil have been extracted from it, mostly in the first part of the twentieth century, although modest drilling and extraction from the field using an urban "drilling island" resumed in 1962.  As of 2009, the only operator on the field was Plains Exploration & Production (PXP).  The field is also notable as being the source, by long-term seepage of crude oil to the ground surface along the 6th Street Fault, of the famous La Brea Tar Pits.

The adjacent and geologically related South Salt Lake Oil Field, not discovered until 1970, is still productive from an urban drillsite it shares with the nearby Beverly Hills Oil Field, also run by Plains Exploration and Production.

Setting

The field is one of many in the Los Angeles Basin. Immediately to the west is the San Vicente Oil Field, and to the southwest the large Beverly Hills Oil Field. To the east are the Los Angeles City Oil Field and Los Angeles Downtown Oil Fields, the former one of the earliest to be drilled in the basin, and the one responsible along with the Salt Lake Field for the early twentieth-century oil boom in the area. Abutting the field to the southwest is the recently discovered and still active South Salt Lake Oil Field. The land above the two oil fields has a mean elevation of approximately  above sea level, and slopes gently towards the south-southwest, away from the Santa Monica Mountains, draining via Ballona Creek towards Santa Monica Bay in the Pacific Ocean.

The productive region of the field is approximately three miles long by one mile across, with the long axis west to east along and parallel to Beverly Boulevard, from near its intersection with La Cienega Boulevard to past its intersection with Highland Avenue. All of the area is within the city of Los Angeles, and is heavily urbanized, making the Salt Lake Field one of a very few active oil fields in the United States in an entirely urban setting. While the entire former field area is dotted with abandoned wells, now entirely overbuilt with dense residential and commercial development, all active drilling takes place from a shielded, soundproofed drilling island adjacent to the Beverly Center, east of San Vicente Boulevard between Beverly Blvd. and 3rd Street. Since normal vertical drilling is impractical in a dense urban environment – active oil wells are loud, malodorous, and generally make poor neighbors – drilling from the tightly clustered wells in the island is directional, with wells slanting into different parts of the formation, similar to the technique used for drilling offshore fields from oil platforms. Only eleven wells, all in this drilling enclosure, remain active of the more than 450 once scattered over the landscape now known as Midtown Los Angeles. Other wells within the enclosure produce from the adjacent San Vicente and Beverly Hills fields.

The adjacent South Salt Lake Oil Field is much smaller than its northern neighbor. Discovered in 1970, and only about a mile long by a thousand feet across, this field is exploited entirely from an urban drillsite at Genesee Avenue and Pico Boulevard within the bounds of the Beverly Hills Oil Field. The only active operator is also Plains Exploration and Production; as of 2009, there were 16 active wells in the South Salt Lake field.

Geology

The field is near the northern edge of the Los Angeles Basin, about two miles (3 km) south of the Hollywood Hills, the nearest portion of the Santa Monica Mountains. The Santa Monica Fault, not known to be active, demarcates the boundary between the basin and the mountains. Several other faults cut through the field, including the 3rd Street Fault and the 6th Street Fault; the latter of these is presumed to be the conduit through which crude oil has emerged on the surface as the La Brea Tar Pits, which are at Hancock Park at the southern boundary of the oil field, near Wilshire Boulevard.  A layer of sediments of Quaternary age, both alluvial and shallow marine, forms a cap of approximately  thickness on the underlying formations, several of which are oil-bearing. First is the Upper Pliocene Pico Formation, which is not petroleum-bearing in the Salt Lake field. Underneath the Pico are the late Miocene and Pliocene Repetto and Puente Formations. The Repetto Formation is a sandstone and conglomerate unit probably deposited in a submarine fan environment, and is a prolific petroleum reservoir throughout the Los Angeles Basin. Underneath the Repetto is the late Miocene Puente Formation. All of these rock units are faulted and folded, forming structural traps, with oil trapped in anticlinal folds and along fault blocks.

A total of six producing horizons, lettered A through F from top to bottom, have been identified in the Salt Lake field. Only Pool "A", first to be discovered, is in the Repetto, having an average depth of only about  below ground surface (bgs). Pools "B" and "C" were found by 1904, and the deeper pools "D", "E", and "F", ranging from 2,850 to  bgs, were found in 1960 with the resumption of drilling from the Gilmore Drilling Island.  Oil from the field is heavy and sulfurous, with API gravity ranging from 9 to 22, but usually 14-18; sulfur content is high at 2.73% in each pool.

In the South Salt Lake field, two pools have been identified, both in 1970: the Clifton Sands and the Dunsmuir Sands, at  and  depth respectively. Oil is found in several steeply dipping sand units bounded by impermeable rocks; the sands pinch out towards the ground surface, and oil accumulates in the upper portions. The oil in this field is slightly less heavy than in the main Salt Lake field, with API gravity ranging from 22 to 26.  Sulfur content was not reported.

History, production, and operations

In the 1890s, dairy farmer Arthur F. Gilmore found oil on his land, probably in the vicinity of the La Brea Tar Pits. The field was named after the Salt Lake Oil Company, the first firm to arrive to drill in the area. The discovery well was spudded (started) in 1902.  Details of the discovery well – depth, exact location, production rate – are not known.

Development of the field was fast, as oil wells spread across the landscape, with drillers hoping to match the production boom taking place a few miles to the east at the Los Angeles City field. Peak production was in 1908.  By 1912, there were 326 wells, 47 of which had already been abandoned, and by 1917 more than 450, which had by then produced more than 50 million barrels of oil. After this peak, production declined rapidly. Land values rose, corresponding to the fast growth of the adjacent city of Los Angeles, and the field was mostly idled in favor of housing and commercial development. The early wells were abandoned; many of their exact locations are not known, and are now covered with buildings and roads.

By the 1960s, new developments in slant drilling technology were making possible exploitation of otherwise unrecoverable petroleum resources, and the urban fields in Los Angeles, such as the Salt Lake field, began to attract the attention of enterprising oil companies. In 1961, working from a drilling site near the Farmer's Market at the corner of 3rd Street and Fairfax Avenue, the Standard Oil Company of California again began to draw oil from the field, having recently discovered three new productive sand units (pools "D", "E", and "F"). Wells drilled into these producing horizons flowed without assistance only briefly, requiring pumping within a year or two. In 1973, highly saline wastewater, formerly dumped into the city's storm drains, was reinjected into the reservoir both as a convenient, non-polluting disposal method, and to increase reservoir pressure to enhance oil recovery.  Similarly, gas produced from the oil field was reinjected into the reservoir between 1961 and 1971; facilities did not exist to capture, store, and transport it, as is the usual practice in current oil fields with nearby gas infrastructure.

Operations at this drilling site, known as the "MacFarland Drilling Island" or the "Gilmore Drilling Island", continued until the 1990s. This drilling island contained about 40 wells, and was dismantled beginning in 2001. The former  site is on The Grove Drive, across the street and west of Pan-Pacific Park.  According to Texaco, the last oil company to own it, the site had become uneconomic to operate; towards the end the depleted oil field was only yielding about 30 barrels of oil a day from that location.

With the shutting down of the Gilmore drilling island, royalty payments to many of the property owners of the land directly over the field ended. Some of them had been receiving monthly checks for as much as $2,500, a situation similar to that at the Beverly Hills field.

Originally, Los Angeles planned to put a Metro subway line along Fairfax Avenue, but chose to reroute it because of the high levels of methane gas in the subsurface environment, since this flammable gas posed a safety risk. It was only later that the oil field was recognized as the source of the methane gas. This hazard was realized spectacularly on the night of March 24, 1985, when a Ross clothing store filled with gas overnight and exploded, injuring 23 people.

Seepage of methane upwards along conduits, such as faults and old well boreholes, caused an explosion at a Ross Dress for Less store in 1985 on 3rd Street in the Fairfax District which injured 23 people.  The Ross Dress for Less store still stands in the 6200 block of 3rd Street, on the southeast corner of Ogden Ave. and 3rd.  Overnight on March 24, 1985, methane gas filled an auxiliary room at the store and ignited, causing a spectacular explosion which blew out the windows and tore the roof off of the building, injuring 23 people, and reducing the inside to rubble. In addition to blowing up the building, the methane explosion burst out portions of the adjacent parking lot and sidewalks, venting burning gas over a wide area, creating an eerie scene with pillars of flame lighting the night. Four blocks were cordoned off by emergency crews as officials scrambled to determine what had happened.

Since naturally occurring methane is odorless – utility companies add mercaptans to alert people to the presence of this flammable gas – no one had noticed the buildup of methane, so it may have accumulated to an explosive concentration slowly.  The source of the methane gas was controversial; early theories involved a biogenic origin for the methane, in which it was seen as the product of decomposition of organic matter from an old swamp. In this scenario, a rising water table forced the gas from the pore spaces within the soil upwards to the surface. A later theory, and the one now accepted, was that the gas originated in the oil field itself, and had migrated to the surface along a combination of the 3rd Street Fault and any number of improperly abandoned boreholes from the hundreds of now-lost wells drilled in the early years of the twentieth century. The reinjection of wastewater into the field to increase oil recovery increased the reservoir pressure to the point that gas was forced upwards along the paths of least resistance – newly formed fractures along the fault, as well as the old wellbores – until it reached the ground surface. Isotopic analysis of the near-surface methane supported this theory, as the specific isotope distributions did not match what would have been expected had the gas been recently produced by a recent biogenic mechanism, and they correlated strongly with isotopic analysis of oil field gas. This finding had enormous implications for all of the urban development over old oil fields, and resulted in the construction of gas monitoring and venting wells in several locations in Los Angeles.  The city of Los Angeles designated approximately 400 blocks overlying the old oil field as a "High Potential Methane Zone" as a result of the 1985 explosion and subsequent investigation, and later required all structures to have a methane detector, to give warning of accumulation of the gas before it could attain explosive concentrations.

1989 gas venting and evacuation
In 1989, a similar methane gas buildup occurred underneath 3rd Street and adjacent buildings, probably because of the accidental plugging of a gas-venting well built after the Ross incident. Since the venting well had become clogged with a buildup of debris, methane slowly collected under the street and adjacent impermeable surfaces, bursting out on the morning of Tuesday, February 7, 1989, in a fountain of mud, water, and methane gas; no explosion occurred, since there was no source of ignition, and city emergency crews quickly cordoned off the area. As a result of this incident, Los Angeles further upgraded their City Building Code to require new buildings to have adequate venting systems, and be underlain with an impermeable membrane to prevent methane from getting in beneath the foundation.

Alpaca fiber is oh, so, so warm and socks, hats, scarves, gloves, and sweaters made from alpaca, are the best! Alpacas have their fiber to keep them warm, and honestly they mind the heat much more than the cold. However, there are times and conditions when our alpacas appreciate a little help keeping warm.
Our rule of thumb is that we close the alpacas in the barn, when we hit single digit temperatures. Even alpacas appreciate being able to get out of cold, harsh winds and pelting rain or snow. We line the inside walls of their shelter with bales of straw, stacked three or four high, to cut down on the drafts as well as have handy for layering on top of the manure. Other than the cold and the snow, alpaca care is actually a little easier in the winter because we don't clean up the manure in the barn. Rather we spread straw on top of the manure. Heat is generated from the lower layers of composting manure and straw.
Feed ahead of the weather. In winter, we always have plenty of hay available and when it is cold, our alpacas easily eat twice as much. They seem to know when a change in the weather is coming.
Older alpacas and little ones can have trouble staying warm. There actually is Winter Wear which can help immensely especially if an alpaca is sick or compromised in some way.
Below are some tips written by Ben Fisco of Humminghill Suri Alpaca Farm on "Raising Alpacas in Harsh Winter Climates". Read the entire article here.
Breed for spring and autumn births.
Use layered, thick, dry bedding in sheds and barn.
Bring alpacas inside in extreme cold and when they are wet dry them off before sending them back to the pasture.
Use a flame and fan-free heating system when heat is used.
Provide good ventilation and air circulation in all barns year round.
Clear pastures of snow in areas large enough to provide exercise.
For cria hypothermia, place cria in a plastic water-tight bag in warm water up to, but not including, the head.
Use cria coats and coats for adults when you see them shiver. Use common sense.
Feed large volumes of high quality hay in cold weather.
Here's something you don't see every day in Washington, D.C.
Standing just a couple of blocks from the U.S. Capitol, a group of Peruvian highlanders, draped in handwoven cloths and ponchos in all the colors of the rainbow, pray to Mother Earth, to the mountains, to the spirit of their ancestors. They offer wine, incense and flowers.
Alpacas, in case you don't know, are llama-like animals in the camel family. Their wool — called fiber — is prized for its softness and warmth. It's woven into textiles and garments. So the more alpacas, the better. That's why Peruvians hold a traditional blessing ceremony, performed since before Columbus discovered the New World and re-created at the national mall last Friday for the annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival.
The Peruvians kneel in front of the alpacas' pen to prepare their offering. Behind them, six alpacas, on loan from Sugarloaf Alpacas in Maryland, stand nervously. It's apparent they've never been blessed before.
A weaver named Timoteo, from the village of Chinchero, leads the ceremony. As he speaks, a translator echoes his words.
Before the ceremony began, I spoke with Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez, a traditional weaver. Callañaupa is a cofounder of the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco, a nonprofit formed to preserve the art of weaving. As we talk, her hands never stop moving as she spins alpaca fiber into yarn.
The alpaca ceremony, Callañaupa explains, takes place once a year during their rainy season, which in Peru lasts from November through April. The people ask Mother Earth — Pachamama in the Quechua language — and the spirits to look out for their animals.
Alpacas are native to South America, where they are sometimes raised for meat (which is low in calories, fat, and cholesterol) but are primarily prized for their fleece, which grows naturally in over twenty colors. Alpaca fiber is not only soft, Callañaupa says, but warmer and finer than sheep's wool.
It also costs more than wool, Callañaupa says, an advantage for the farmer. Peru is reportedly home to 3.6 million alpacas — that's most of the world's population and produces 80 percent of the world's alpaca fleece. Those exports, however, are managed by large fiber mills.
"The export industry is an entirely different thing than local use of alpacas" for textiles, says Rowe.
It's a long road from animal to textile. It starts, Callañaupa says, with shearing the animals, which is done every year or two (in warmer climates, annual shearing is more common).
Next, the fiber is spun by hand into yarn on a traditional drop spindle — a wooden spike that is weighted at one end. The spinner fixes the fiber to the spike, then pulls and twists the fiber while holding the spindle between the legs. When the twisted fiber reaches a certain length, the spindle is dropped toward the floor, and its weight makes it rotate, twisting it into yarn.
The finished yarn is washed and can be dyed. The Cusco weavers use natural dyes made from leaves, flowers and insects.
When the yarn is ready, artisans use a Backstrap Loom to weave bright, intricate textiles. Each community, Callañaupa explains, has its own designs and style of weaving. "It's part of our identity," she says.
When the ceremony is over, necklaces of carnations and woven tassels are hung around each alpaca's neck to show it has been blessed. In Peru, the end of the ceremony marks the beginning of a festival, so right there on the National Mall, to the beat of drums and the whistle of flutes, the Peruvians dance their thanks to Mother Earth.
Back in their pen, the blessed alpacas pace, perhaps not yet aware of their good fortune.
Check out these great alpaca pics at Animal Tracks on Today! Laura T. Coffey writes "Shear Madness: Hairstyle Dos and Don'ts for Alpacas". There definitely are some "don'ts" in the group!
"If you're an alpaca, you know how it is: You're standing around, grazing and minding your own business, and all of a sudden some human comes along and shears off your fur so they can turn it into sweaters, coats and socks.

King Ferdinand was one of Spain's most famous military commanders and monarchs. During his military campaigns in Italy in the early 16th century, Ferdinand and his military commander Gonzalo de Cordoba sent multiple encrypted letters to each other. Each letter that was sent would take 15 days to send and receive.
Nearly six hundred years later, the Spanish National Intelligence Center deciphered what the letters read. Why did it take so long you may ask? Well the letter contained a very complex coding system which contained 88 different symbols and 237 combined letters. To make the letter even more complex, there weren't any spaces between phrases and words.
The first couple of letters that were deciphered contained military strategies and multiple instructions. The letters were sent during a battle for control of the Mediterranean between Spain and France. Since the coding system was figured out, the rest of the letters sent can be deciphered as well. With this recent success of decipherment, many mysterious and questions have been put to rest for good.

Introducing Poppy Richards
Poppy faces multiple life challenges due to the effects of Cerebral Palsy (Left Hemiplegia) and Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) resulting from premature birth and pre-eclampsia during her mother's pregnancy.
A calf surgery due to a combination of moderate pain, an uneven gait and balance issues has added another layer of complexity to Poppy's sports career, however this is somewhat off-set by enhanced levels of self-esteem and confidence derived from sport that affords her the drive to progress and keep doing the things she loves.
Introducing Ethan Godwin
Set back after set back has not deterred Ethan from pursuing his sporting dreams. Cancer struck his family with his mother's breast cancer diagnosis resulting in his dad taking up extra shifts to pay the bills. Mt Isa based and typical of a kid living in regional Queensland, Ethan is a talented sports' person representing his Northern Region in Cross Country and Football. Whilst competing in the Queensland State Football titles Ethan badly injured his knee, was taken from the field, green whistled and ambulanced to Hospital.
Thankfully there was no break but the need for an ultrasound diagnosed poor blood flow and further costs for his family.
Introducing Chloe Whittaker
Despite Chloe facing multiple challenges such as 45% hearing loss requiring regular audiology tests and travel from Yarrilee near Harvey Bay to Brisbane, a Pulmonary Heart Stenosis requiring two bouts of heart surgery (so far), plus a rare incurable chronic lung disease titled Bronchiectasis, Chloe continues to love playing her sport.
Introducing Ryan Woodrow
Ryan has Type 1 diabetes is so extreme that he requires a fitted insulin pump. The insulin pump can't be attached when Ryan plays sport, requiring a close monitoring of his blood sugar levels and food intake to ward off hyperglycaemic reactions.
Ryan proudly represents his state in baseball and his condition adds extra challenge dimensions and the requirement for needles, sometimes mid game to get through each match.
Introducing Tito Sheriff
Tito is 15 years of age and is in Year 10 at Yeronga SHS in the Met West School Sport Region.
Tito arrived as refugees from Guinea in 2004. Tito is one of 5 children and his mother is currently pregnant with her 6th child. Tito and his siblings live with their mother. Tito's mother is currently not employed and is undertaking home duties. Earlier this year the family home burnt down and the family lost all personal belongings. Sadly the family had no insurance. Tito qualifies for funding under the hardship cause.
Introducing Poppy Wilson
Poppy is 13 years of age who is in Year 8 at Seton College Mt Gravatt in the Met East School Sports Region.
Poppy has cerebral palsy and has a classification of S10 in swimming. Cerebral Palsy affects Poppy physical capabilities but she has always loved swimming. Poppy has had to overcome the impact of reduced movement in her legs and difficulties in her hands in order to reach this level of swimming. Poppy was born with CP, though not diagnosed until she was 9mths old. She also has Asperger's and ADHD.
Poppy has always loved the water and finds it the best place for her as she is weightless and seems to find that she can move easier in the water with her CP than on land for any other sport she has tried. She trains 15 hours every week.

BALTIMORE - Many football players, and their teams, claim they do not pay much attention to statistics. The only numbers that matter, they say, is the final score.
But that is not the case for Columbus High School graduate Dwan Edwards, a defensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.
"When we go into a season, we want to be No. 1 in every defensive category there is," said the 6-foot-3, 315-pound Edwards. "That is not a stretch. The bar is set so high for our defense. We don't expect to give up big plays."
The Ravens, with one of the top defensive units in the NFL, normally reach their goals. And this season Edwards, a second-round pick by the Ravens out of Oregon State in 2004, has seen time as a starter due to injuries on the defensive line. "It has been a great experience for me to play. You always want to be a starter," said the 26-year-old Edwards, an all-state linebacker and fullback at Columbus and class president who had a 3.7 grade-point average. "You can't prepare any differently. You still have to play the game, whether it's the eighth play of the game or the first."
Edwards, who has 15 tackles in the first seven games this season, said injuries are part of the NFL.
"Depth, that is the name of the game in football," he said. "People are going to get hurt. How well they adapt to the injuries is part of the game. At any position, there are going to be injuries. You can not pinpoint the reason for it."
Edwards, in his fourth season in Baltimore, is not the only player with ties to Montana contributing to the Ravens this season. Reserve running back Justin Green, 25, was a fifth-round pick out of the University of Montana and is in his third season with the Ravens.
Green had four catches for 17 yards for the Ravens in 2006. This season he has one catch for six yards and has made eight special teams tackles.
At Montana, Green played in 27 games and rushed 412 times for 1,784 yards.
Edwards and Green talk often about Montana. Green played in college with some of the teammates Edwards had in high school. Green, who is from San Diego, has fond memories of the fresh air in Montana. "The best thing was seeing the stars at night," he said.
Edwards said Baltimore is starting to feel like home after four seasons in the league. He and his wife have a daughter and son, both under the age of 8.
I hope to stay here a long time. I love my teammates," he said.
The Ravens (4-3) had a bye last week and return to the field tonight for a Monday Night Football showdown with AFC North rival Pittsburgh (6:30 p.m., ESPN).
Off the field, Green and Edwards are both involved in charitable work in the Baltimore area.
Edwards took part in American Red Cross blood drive in 2005 and through Big Ed's Band Foundation, helps provide musical instruments to schools and children in need.
"I am fortunate, and able to give back," Edwards said, "when I have time to do it. We have a great media and public relations group (with the Ravens). They are always asking us (to appear). If I have time, I will do it.
"I come from a family in Montana," he added. "A lot of things had to go my way. I got some breaks. It is a testimony to hard work."
Green has spoken to middle school students in Baltimore, promoted a drug-free lifestyle and provided food to families in nearby Columbia, Md., and been involved in many other volunteer pursuits.
"The motivation is most (pro) football players didn't grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth," said Green, who assists the disabled to live as much on their own as possible. "At one point you may have been in that (challenging) position. There is always something that people can relate to," such as serving Thanksgiving meals to the homeless.

Sustainable development is a fundamental objective of the EU, the aim of which is to achieve a better quality of life for present and future generations by integrating immediate and longer-term objectives, local and global action, and by promoting social, economic and environmental issues as interdependent components of human progress.
Sustainable development is a shared responsibility of the EU, the Member States and all stakeholders. The EU is acting as a frontrunner in mainstreaming the sustainable development goals into EU policies and initiatives. The EU is committed to implementing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the international community and running to 2030 and, in this regard, has developed a reference indicator framework for keeping track of progress in a systematic and transparent way. Accordingly, an overview of where the EU and its Member States stand towards the SDGs can be found in the Eurostat publications (e.g. "Sustainable development in the European Union — Monitoring report on progress towards the SDGs in an EU context – 2018 edition").
Overall, the EU made progress in relation to most of the 17 SDGs over the past five years. In particular, the EU has made the greatest progress towards achieving SDG 3 "good health and well-being", SDG 4 "quality education" and SDG 7 "affordable and clean energy".
The EU made some moderate progress in relation to achieving 8 SDGs: SDG 1 "no poverty", SDG 5 "gender equality", SDG 8 "decent work and economic growth", SDG 11 "sustainable cities and communities", SDG 12 "responsible consumption and production", SDG 17 "partnership for the goals", and, to a minor extent, SDG 2 "zero hunger", SDG 15 "life on land" and SDG 9 "industry, innovation and infrastructure". By contrast, unsustainable trends remain with regard to SDG 10 "reduced inequalities" and in the case of other goals – SDG 6 "clean water and sanitation", SDG 14 "life below water" and SDG 16 "peace, justice and strong institutions" – trends cannot be calculated due to insufficient data over the past five years.
In addition, the lack of progress with regard to SDG 13 "climate action" requires urgent action: significant efforts are needed to curb and adapt to climate change and the shift to a sustainable low-carbon society requires a stronger focus now.
PhD in Law and Economics (University of Siena), Mariachiara is Senior Researcher in Environmental Law at the Institute for Comparative Federalism, Eurac Research. Her research focuses on multilevel governance of the environment, water law, public participation in environmental decision-making, climate change, renewable energies and sustainable development.

Q: Интерактивная таблица на Yii2 и AJAX Пытаюсь сделать интерактивную таблицу в приложении на yii2, представляющую собой набор данных из бд, где при на нажатии на строку, меняется соответствующее поле с true на false и наоборот в соответствующем поле данных. Как всё это реализовать на простом php и ajax примерно представляю, но как это сделать красиво на yii2? Понятно что нужен обработчик в контроллере/действии и как-то запихать ajax в вид, но хотелось бы годный пример. Заранее спасибо.

A: Небольшой пример взаимодействия:
Некое действие:
public function actionSomeAjax(){
    Yii::$app->response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON;
    ....
    return \yii\helpers\Json::encode($answer);
}

Некое представление:
...
<?php
$this->registerJs('
    $(function(){
        $.get("/someController/some-ajax",function(data){
        ...
        })
    });
');
?>

То есть контроллер должен вернуть что либо (return), можно и просто echo в контроллере, но разработчики не рекомендуют. Так же можно вместо того что бы писать js код в представлении вынести его отдельно в файл и подключать, либо через AssetBundle либо опять же в представлении $this->registerJsFile()

Pimento Cheese Filled Deviled Eggs - Southern with Style!
A party or get-together in the South almost always means "Who's going to bring the deviled eggs?" This year, I was elected to bring them to a holiday get-together at my daughter's mother-in-law's house. Now, folks, her family is serious about their deviled eggs! I confess, I can't remember the last time I personally made deviled eggs, so I was glad to try my hand at them.
I chose to make pimento cheese deviled eggs and sought my daughter's mother-in-law's advice on what kind of pimento cheese to use. She strongly endorsed Palmetto Cheese (a Southern favorite), which I found in the deli section of the grocery. These stuffed eggs were gobbled up in no time...a true attestment as to how scrumptious they were!
So, If this recipe didn't make it in time for your New Year's Eve party...there's still time for a New Year's Day party or brunch!
Have A Very Happy Chanukah Cookie House!
My son and his wife surprised us at our family Chanukah celebration this year with this gorgeous cookie house! The decorated graham crackers which they chose to make, in addition to assembling the house, were scattered around the house on the platter and completed the scene.
Though, admittedly, they found the house "a pain in the tuchus" to assemble, we thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed it; and I feel they actually had some fun making it! The grandchildren and all the neighborhood kids loved it!
To You and Yours...Happy Holidays!
Crunchy Naked Southern Pan-Fried Okra ~ Guilt Free!
The craving for fried okra overwhelms you, but the guilt holds you back. Well no more...now you can enjoy crunchy Southern fried okra guilt free with this super easy naked pan-fried okra!
This is a challenging time of year with my birthday and all the holidays; and this year was a big milestone for me, as I entered a new decade! I feel the same...I refuse to age! We enjoyed a wonderful celebration with family and friends. Then my computer crashed...guess that's what a big birthday does! As usual, with my son to the rescue, I'm back in business with only a few details to be completed (by him, of course)!
This May Be My Dinner!
Zesty Albacore White Tuna Salad Fused with A Distinctive Crunch!
Take tuna salad from boring to delightful with this easy and delectable albacore white tuna salad fused with a unique and zesty crunch!
When you need something light and uncomplicated for lunch, dinner, a snack or an appetizer, you'll love this distinctive tuna salad!
Not Your Typical Tuna Salad!
If you need something uncomplicated and delicious for dinner or a cookout, you'll love this famous... okay, my famous...lip-smacking, super-easy barbecued pulled chicken! It's made with only two ingredients in the slow cooker in only three hours, using incredibly simple methods of shredding and cooking the chicken.
Enjoy this laid-back, crowd-pleasing recipe for Labor Day, tailgating and effortless weeknight meals!
I Can Taste It Now!
Congealed salads are back, and Southerners love their gelatin salads! One of my favorite dishes at a Southern cafeteria is a creamy congealed salad...somewhat like a dessert, but served as a side dish, you know we Southerners like our sweets, y'all!
Cool and creamy with a little crunch, this pineapple salad is perfect for summer and very versatile. Traditionally, it would be served as a side; however, with its beautiful layers, it would make a stunning presentation as an appetizer and served as a spread with buttery crackers. Also, it would make a wonderful light dessert served with a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
Not your typical hamburger pie, this one is crowned with a cozy cornbread topping that has a moist interior with a crunchy top. The triple Cheddar cheese and jalapeno cornbread topping perfectly complements the slightly peppery ground beef base.
Though this dish isn't extremely peppery; if you have any family members who are a little pepper-skittish, of course you can omit the jalapenos from the cornbread topping and substitute the pepper jack cheese with Cheddar or Colby Jack cheese.
You and yours will enjoy this hamburger skillet pie as a satisfying and comforting weeknight meal. I've also provided directions for using the topping recipe for an 8" or 10" skillet of just cornbread.
Oh boy, this scrumptious pie was a big hit at my son's recent birthday! He loves cherry desserts, and I opted for this incredibly delicious, yet easy pie.
I used frozen pitted dark, sweet whole cherries, rather than the tart cherries as recommended in the original recipe. I did not adjust the sugar for the sweet cherries, and the pie was terrific. So either sweet or tart cherries should work with the same amount of sugar as specified in the original recipe. It should also be very good with other fruits, such as strawberries or blueberries...oh, I'll be experimenting with other fruits in this recipe!
It's supposed to be refrigerated before it's cut; but I didn't, since I wanted to photo before the birthday get-together. However, it does slice better refrigerated.
This pie has an almost cake-like topping...one person described the flavor as similar to a cheesecake. It's tempting to say it has a custard-like topping, but this recipe has too much flour for that. Anyway you describe it, it's fantastic!
I included a link with great directions for cutting foil to cover the edges of the pie to prevent over-browning. At one time I used a pie tape...is that made any more, or what is your preferred method?
I know you and yours will love this pie as much as we did!
Turkey Polska Kielbasa Sauté with Haricot Verts, i.e. Turkey Polish Sausage with Extra Fine Green Beans!
You're starving and you want something quick, but homemade. I was recently looking for something like this at the grocery store and spotted turkey Polska kielbasa, i.e. turkey Polish sausage. I took it home and, with other ingredients on hand, I developed a delectable one-dish sauté. I was so excited with the ease and fabulous taste of this dish, I immediately wanted to share it!
This recipe offers the option of jarred or fresh mushrooms, frozen or fresh roasted potatoes and frozen or fresh haricot verts (extra fine green beans). The jarred and frozen items just provide you the opportunity to throw the meal together a little quicker. Whether you choose to use these items prepackaged or fresh, this dish will still be delicious.
With an array of colorful vegetables, you have a complete, healthy one-dish meal which is easily and quickly made on the stove top.
And This Looks So Good!
I love crumpets and wanted to make my own. However, they're made with yeast, and I wanted something a little quicker. I decided pikelets were the answer...they're kind of a cross between a pancake and a crumpet.
Some of the pikelet recipes I found were made with self-rising flour. Now, I know some the best biscuits are made with self-rising flour. However, my mother didn't use it; therefore, I've never used it...until now. Baking powder is added for a little extra boost.
These melt-in-your mouth little pikelets are the size of a large cookie and just firm enough to be handheld. They have almost a cake flavor...perfect for breakfast, brunch or snack. I added cranberries, but they're also great with blueberries...or, you can just make them plain. I resisted the temptation to add nutmeg or cinnamon...sometimes you just want a simple flavor as these offer.
But, You Might Like With A Dab of Jam or Preserves!

Upgrade Your Career…. You're The Only One Who Can!
Is your company utilizing your full potential? If they are, stop reading as this article isn't for you.
But if you'd like a career with more oomph, read on.
The tornado-like disruptions transforming corporations today, unfortunately, hasn't made a dent in one time-honored expectation. After landing their all-important position, employees still believe their future career growth lies in their boss or company's hands.
I hate to disillusion you. You aren't your company's highest priority.
85 percent of organizations report their talent management programs and policies need an overhaul.
It's clear from these statistics—even the company themselves don't consider they're doing a very good job. So, why would you entrust your career future to them?
You see much of what companies concentrate on is HORIZONTAL development where it occurs through on-the-job experiences and training relevant to day-to-day activities. Such an approach primarily passes along (when there is time) competencies, attitudes, best-practices as well as company traditions. It utilizes mentors, peer-to-peer apprentice-like instructions as well as attending once-and-done courses to meet company challenges. This focus is excellent for organizational efficiency and profitability. It's just not the high-level skills opening doors to being the high-potential employee you know you are. Nor, more often than not, is it relevant for developing your future career advancements.
This single HORIZONTAL corporate development approach is probably why so many external hires are filling the top ranks of your organization.
To move your career forward, you must think VERTICAL. Your task is to prepare yourself not only for what you need to be good at doing today, but for what you need to be doing well tomorrow.
Stop expecting your organization to "upgrade" your career development only to be disappointed when someone else receives your "hoped-for" promotion, or the company brings someone in from the outside to take on that job you coveted. Yes, find a mentor. They'll open doors to opportunities for you. Yes, take every development program your company offers. That has you sending a stellar—"I'm a keeper"—message.
But also, rigorously tackle your "stretch gap." Align yourself with someone who sees a bigger future for you and is committed to bringing it home as they strategically partner with you to recognize and lean into your strengths as well as confront your flat-sides (weaknesses). To do less is to hold yourself back from being all you can be and intend to achieve in your career.

Aviation Authority welcomes four members to board
Four people have been appointed to the Charleston County Aviation Authority Board with terms that were effective June 1, 2014.
New members are Margaret Seidler and Henry B. Fishburne Jr. Reappointed to the board were William D. "Billy" Swails and Helen T. Hill.
The Charleston County Aviation Authority is a special purpose district created by the state of South Carolina to operate and manage the airports in the Charleston Airport District.
The Aviation Authority District is governed by a 13-member board whose members are selected for four-year terms by the Charleston County Legislative Delegation (approved by the governor), Charleston County Council and the Charleston City Council. Serving as ex-officio members are the mayors of the cities of Charleston and North Charleston and town of Mount Pleasant, the chairman of Charleston County Council and the chairman and vice chairman of the Charleston County Legislative Delegation.
Seidler is a nationally recognized organization development consultant, master trainer and author. Her practice focuses on creating higher performance in both organization and community systems.

Seidler serves on the board of the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce and is chairman of the Mayor's Task Force, Stand Up Charleston, for crime prevention through citizen engagement. Seidler also serves as adjunct faculty for the University of Notre Dame's Executive Education Center in the Mendoza College of Business.
Fishburne is a real estate broker, investor and developer as well as retired attorney. He has served on numerous public boards and was a Charleston city councilman from 1999 to 2007. He was mayor pro tempore in 2007.
Fishburne's other public service includes serving on the boards of the Urban Land Institute, Charleston Charter School of Math and Science,
MUSC Children's Hospital, Hospice of Charleston, the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments and the Charlestowne Neighborhood Association.
Swails is a lifelong resident, having grown up and raised his family in Mount Pleasant. He served as mayor of Mount Pleasant from 2009 to 2013, during which time he also served on the CCAA board. Before being elected mayor, he served on Mount Pleasant Town Council for 11 years, collectively. He also has served on the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments, the Charleston Area Regional Development Alliance, the Patriots Point Development Authority and the Charleston County Transportation Committee. Swails is a State Farm insurance agent.

Inside Sal Vulcano's personal life
Sal Vulcano is a member of the comedy quartet that runs the popular show, Impractical Jokers. Sal Vulcano, James Murray, Brian Quinn, and Joe Gatto formed a comedy group known as The Tenderloins in 1999. The group's popularity grew over the next decade, and in December 2011, Impractical Jokers was shown on TruTV.
The show involves the four Jokers playing pranks on each other. The pranks are very elaborate, and the group has had problems several times with people who don't see the fun in their jokes.
This piece will take a look at Sal Vulcano's personal life. He will look at his love life and the personal cost he paid for Impractical Jokers.
Sal once stated that he is gay but later revealed that he did so to encourage James Murray to open up
Sal has kept a tight lid on his private life since becoming an international star. He rarely talks about his sexuality, but on one episode of The Daytime Talk Show with Sally Jesse, Sal admitted that he's gay. After his confession, James Murray opened up and came out as gay. At that point, Sal stunned viewers by saying that he would come out as gay to encourage James to reveal his sexual orientation. Sal said:
"It feels great to have my best friend James out of the closet. That's why I brought him here today. You see, I'm not gay, but I knew if I said I was gay, he'd admit he's gay."
As it turned out later that James was not gay because he was engaged to Melissa Davis. Aside from this fake confession, Sal did not address his love life.
However, we know that he believes in love. Sal is an ordained minister and presided over the wedding of Joe Gatto. Hopefully, Sal will allow us to get into his love life soon.

Sal got Jaden Smith's face tattooed on his right thigh as a punishment for losing the challenge
Sal Vulcano was born on the 5th of November 1976 in Staten Island to parents Sal Vulcano Sr and Diane Fernandez. Vulcano is of Italian, Puerto Rican, and Cuban descent. Sal grew up in Staten Island with three sisters: Kelly Ann, Diane, and Gina. His parents divorced when he was young, and he is very close to his mother. Sal told OC WEEKLY that his devout mother once came to crash into his place because she thought the ghost of her deceased neighbor would haunt her. He said:
"My mom used to bump into my place because she lives in these garden apartments and the guy who lives upstairs from them passed away. Now she's thinking, 'I won't give up on you, she thinks his ghost is going to mess with her.'"
Sal and his fellow impractical Jokers met during high school. They parted after high school and reunited after college to form their comedy group. Part of the humor involves punishing a member who fails to make a prank that pleases the other members. So far, Sal is the most punished member, and arguably the most memorable punishment in the entire series.

Joe asks Sal Vulcano to tattoo Jaden Smith's face. Sal did the tattoo really well and got a chance to show it to Jaden Smith at Comic-Con. "I literally took off my pants and showed Jaden," Sal told Yahoo TV. "He was very generous about it. Very surprised too."
You might think the penalties and banter The Tenderloins pull on each other go too far, but The Impractical Jokers don't see it that way. They have known each other for nearly three decades, and as such, they know what to say and do to each other. Quinn told the Buffalo News:
"We know where we can go and where we can't. We've been friends for 28 years at this point. I'd be a bad friend if I didn't know what not to say to my kids. But the flip side of that is that it's obviously very hard to offend one of us." or bother us. We are very thick-skinned."

In Memoriam: Edward J. Barshak
Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR) mourns the passing of Edward J. Barshak, our long-time Board member. Our thoughts are with all his family and friends at this difficult time.
Ed was a distinguished and influential leader in Boston's legal community. His life-long passion and vision for racial justice continues to shape LCR's mission and life-changing work.
In 2016, LCR joined forces with Ed and his law firm, Sugarman, Rogers, Barshak & Cohen, P.C., to launch the Edward J. Barshak Fund for Justice. The launch event program is available here, including a list of the fund's initial supporters and Ed's bio. Inspired by Ed's leadership, more supporters have fueled the Barshak Fund over the years, including a major gift from WilmerHale.
The Barshak Fund's resources continue to have a transformative impact enabling LCR's free legal work on discrimination cases on behalf of people of color and immigrants in low-income communities.
LCR's uplifting and creative work with Ed, Sugarman Rogers, and WilmerHale on the Barshak Fund created a powerful blueprint for other unique interventions and partnerships in Boston's legal community, including the launch of the Ropes & Gray Justice Fellowship at LCR. In this manner, Ed's legacy continues to inspire lawyers to join the racial justice and civil rights movement, and to help move the struggle for civil rights from the street to the courtroom.
We invite you to see our 2016 video tribute celebrating Ed's life and legacy.
LCR is grateful to Sugarman Rogers for their uplifting note featuring Ed's incredible accomplishments. Please click here to see the firm's powerful tribute and to learn more about Ed's life and legacy.
LCR is also grateful to Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly for featuring the 2016 launch of the Barshak Fund, including wonderful pictures of Ed, his family, friends, and colleagues. Thank you for sharing these memories.
