My newest story 'Katie Flew Again Tonight' was published on Friday by The Masters Review as part of their New Voices series. You can read it here.
'Katie...' is a story I began writing in the summer of 2015 and didn't fully find my way into until the following year, trying several different versions of it before settling on the one I ultimately sent out. There was even a brief time where I thought it would be a stage play before deciding it was a short story. Once I discovered the right angle for the story, it was much easier to write, putting many months of failed attempts to shame. I was glad to finally put it together.
And it's an honor to be published at The Masters Review, a publication I've respected for some time. It was a pleasure working with the editors there and I hope to get to do it again in the future.
Received the good news that my short story 'Katie Flew Again Tonight' will be published by The Masters Review as part of their New Voices series this autumn.
Will post a link when the publication goes live.
I'm very pleased to announce that my story, 'Katie Flew Again Tonight', has been shortlisted for the Masters Review Anthology Volume VI. While it doesn't guarantee I'll be a finalist or even a winner, it's a huge honor and I'm happy to hear my story made it this far.
2015 is coming to a close, and with it, one of the greatest years on record.
The obvious you may already know: Denise and I moved to London from the States in February. In addition to that, I've had a lush and generous year so far in my adopted city. I've made new friends, traveled more than I did in the States, explored this amazing city that is rightfully called the greatest city on earth, I've seen some incredible theatre in London, I had a play produced in the States, I signed with my first literary agent, and I'm very pleased to continue to get to write on a daily basis and spend large portions of my day doing what I love. 2016 has big shoes to fill.
Currently, I'm working on another revised draft of my novel with a view to getting it to publishers in a couple of months. After that, I'll be working on a new play. And in between, I'll be seeing as much as I can of my friends, who are saints for understanding when I have to go home early or decline a night out so that I can work. I will make it up to all of you in 2016. First round is on me.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a warm and joyous New Year.
A huge thank you to the cast, director and PortFringe crew of A Play About Nothing. It was my first play to be produced, and it premiered twice during the festival. I was fortunate enough to have good houses at both performances, and by the video recording I saw of the play, it was a success. I'm happy with the life this little play has taken on, and I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes when it moves to FringePVD in Providence later in July.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Trident last night for the reading of Come Down to Us. The cast did an amazing job, and I received really helpful feedback afterward. All in all, it was a successful evening, and I'm looking forward to improving this play so it can move on to its next stage.
It's still winter. Here's what's going on.
Tentatively, there will be a public reading of a new play of mine in May. More details as May approaches; I'm still writing it. For now, it is titled Come Down to Us.
I want to say thank you to the people who check this site often or subscribe to this feed to get updates on what's going on with me. Although I no longer have a social media presence, I'm always happy to share with friends, family and acquaintances what's going on. It's often difficult, though, because writers can't always share pieces of a thing that is not finished. Visual artists can let someone into their studio, and musicians can share sound files and play parts of songs for people, but writers can do no more than copy and paste text into an email, which - on a level of glamour - is just one notch above filling out an online survey. Though I'm currently writing a lot, and writing every day, it can appear to everyone else that I'm hibernating. A writing career consists of long periods of solitude in front of a computer before something surfaces for the public to read. So to all my friends and family who get to hear "Not much, still writing," when they ask what's new in my life, I want to say thanks. Your patience with me and interest in what I do despite there not always being much physical evidence of what I do, helps me to boldly go forth. I wouldn't be able to write much of anything without the regular support from friends and family, who voice their belief in me, especially on days when I don't share that same belief. You know who you are, and I love you all.

Spirulina is an excellent way to support healthy fertility and pregnancy through its superior nutritional content. Spirulina is a cyanobacterium, that is commonly referred to as blue-green algae. The protein in spirulina is considered to be of the highest quality protein, superior to all other plant proteins, including those in the legume family (beans, peas, soy, etc.). It is also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Because spirulina is an exceptionally nutritive plant food source, it has been shown to be excellent for supporting healthy fertility and pregnancy.
Several studies on mice have shown no adverse effects on pregnant mice who were fed spirulina daily at a weight-appropriate dosage (Journal of Ethnopharmacology). Excessive dosage of spirulina was shown to have some adverse effects to both the mice mothers and pups. This study makes a good point; it is important to use spirulina as a food, not in high doses. More does not equal better results!
Spirulina is one of the most asked about nutritional food supplements today (SELF Nutrition Data). Spirulina is part of our Fertilica FertiliGreens product. FertiliGreens combines a variety of green foods and herbal tonics specifically formulated to help boost nutrition levels in couples preparing for pregnancy. Should a woman wish to continue supplementing with a green foods supplement like FertiliGreens, we suggest transitioning to an organic pure spirulina powder. This is because FertiliGreens contains some herbs not meant to be continued into pregnancy.
This green super food is a complete protein source, as it contains all the amino acids necessary to qualify as a complete protein source. Protein content is 50-70% of its total dry weight. There is a variation in percentage of protein content dependent on time of harvest in relation to daylight. It contains the most protein when harvested in the early daylight (interesting!).
As we all know a whole food diet is essential to healthy fertility. Spirulina provides a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, all of which are easily utilized by the body. Spirulina is an easy way to boost your nutritional intake daily!
Vitamins: A, D, E, K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, B12, Folate and Pantothenic Acid.
Minerals: Potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, manganese, selenium, iron, copper, and phosphorus. Because spirulina grows in fresh water, rather than salt water like seaweed, it contains a relatively low amount of sodium.
Many of the vitamins and minerals in spirulina are antioxidants, which have been shown to protect the body from free radical damage. Oxidative damage due to free radicals has been shown to contribute to fertility issues such as luteal phase defect, poor egg and sperm health, as well as lowered overall immunity and health.
Researchers at Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, suggest that spirulina may be helpful in treating women with preeclampsia or preventing it from happening at all. This may be due to its superior nutritional content, but researchers suggest it for another reason. Numerous studies have shown that preeclampsia is associated with increased oxidative stress in both the placenta and vascular system of the mother (Current Pharmaceutical Design). NADPH oxidase has been shown to be the number one source for oxidant stress associated with preeclampsia. Phycocyanobilin (PCB) contained in spirulina has been shown to inhibit NADPH. This may help to protect mother and child from preeclampsia. One leading cause of preeclampsia is poor nutrition according the the Preeclpampsia Foundation.
Spirulina contains essential fatty acids in the form of linolenic acid, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. These essential fatty acids aid in prostaglandin function necessary for hormonal balance and blood pressure regulation (also important for pregnancy).
Spirulina only contains about 10-15% carbohydrate content. Spirulina consumption does not alter insulin levels, which makes it safe for those with PCOS, or diabetes-related infertility.
Spirulina naturally grows in alkaline lake water in warm regions. It is now farmed in controlled environments as well. Spirulina is tiny, measuring only 0.1mm across. Its rapid growth makes it a sustainable food crop. Because spirulina grows in such harsh conditions, it has been shown to be a very clean food source.
There are no official recommended daily guidelines for spirulina, but a general consensus is that 3000mg a day is safe.
There are many spirulina products on the market, so do your research to choose a brand that best fits your needs. Spirulina comes in tablets, capsules or loose powder. The loose powder is excellent in Fertility Smoothies. Spirulina is a key ingredient in our Fertilica FertiliGreens!
It is always best to follow the suggested use guidelines on the product label that you choose. Always let your health care provider know what nutritional supplements you are taking, as they may be able to suggest an amount to take based on your personal needs. If you're pregnant, it is very important you let your doctor know you wish to take spirulina or are taking it. Never exceed suggested dosage for the product you are taking. Remember that Fertilica FertiliGreens is not suggested for use in pregnancy, so switching to a pure spirulina supplement is suggested if you wish to use a greens supplement into pregnancy.
do you have any herbal ideas for treatment of en-larged prostrate (men's issues)?
Spirulina has a long history and documented record of human consumption, and as a result of the extensive study of it, it is known by prominent researchers to be safe and nutritious. Spirulina has been marketed to and determined safe for human consumption as food.
Spirulina studies have not revealed specific body or organ toxicity, or genotoxicity and proven that ingesting very high levels of Spirulina during pregnancy does not cause fetal abnormalities or birth defects.
That said, as with several supplements and foods determined to be safe, it is true that there are rare cases of side-effects in humans that have been reported. For people suffering from bleeding disorders, special care needs to be taken to not over-consume dark green leafy vegetables and we would not promote the use of Spirulina for these patients without guidance. I have not heard of Spirulina causing a bleeding disorder, or causing Phenylketonuria.
All that said if you have or are concerned about Phenylketonuria, please consult your healthcare provider before consuming spirulina. It is not a required food and if consuming it worries you, that may outweigh the benefit.
My midwife said this is a no-go and referenced Dr. Andrew Weil's new article Is Spirulina Safe.
There are so many schools of thought and sources of information. If truly can make knowing what to trust hard. I understand that.
This is going to be a longer reply than normal, yet I feel it very warranted here to help clarify that we know organic spirulina to be safe.
I am not a practicing medical doctor who has documented case histories of adverse events from taking Spirulina in supplement form. I guestion if Dr. Weil does. I have, however, read research on Spirulina powder, as well as worked with clients who have used it prior to and in pregnancy. I simply am not finding any research, nor have we experienced with our clients, that there is any concern about consuming Spirulina preconception or in pregnancy.
There are a large number of Spirulina species, including, yet not limited to Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis), Spirulina maxima (Arthrospira maxima), and Spirulina fusiformis (Arthrospira fusiformis). We understand that identification and source are important. Quality control in the growth and processing of Spirulina in order to avoid contamination is mandatory to guarantee the safety of Spirulina products.
Spirulina studies in which the outcome is not forced have not revealed specific body or organ toxicity, or genotoxicity and proven that ingesting very high levels of Spirulina during pregnancy does not cause fetal abnormalities or birth defects.
That said, as with several supplements and foods determined to be safe, it is true that there are rare cases of side-effects in humans that have been reported. For people suffering from bleeding disorders or thyroid health issues, special care needs to be taken to not over-consume dark green leafy vegetables and we would not promote the use of Spirulina for these patients without guidance. I have not heard of Spirulina causing a bleeding disorder.
I welcome the opportunity to learn more on this subject, however, from my research I am not finding anything to indicate that we are misinforming our readers or improperly suggesting a very common, foundational product to support fertility or pregnancy health.
I hope this is helpful as you choose what is best for your needs! Take care!
Organic Spirulina is a wonderful source of plant protein, antioxidants, B-vitamins and many other nutrients in pregnancy. It is always best to purchase certified organic Spirulina.
I am not sure what the sources you refer to are, but it is my understanding that it is Chlorella that is used more for detoxifying from heavy metals and not intended for use in pregnancy.
Is spirulina all right to take if you have endometriosis ? As it contains the fatty acid arachidonic acid, which makes bad prostaglandins that affect endometriosis ?
Arachidonic acid is an nutritious omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that the body actually requires to function properly. We all need a healthy balance of omega 3s, 6s, and 9s. When these EFAs are in a healthy balance the body i not likely to overproduce prostaglandins or be plagued by inflammation. ARA from Spirulina is one of the healthiest forms of omega-6 EFA. Spirulina has superior, organic nutritional properties – in addition to containing polyunsaturated fats, it is rich in high-quality protein and antioxidants.
So, in short I do think it is fine to consume if you have endometriosis. It may actually be helpful in addition to a whole food Fertility Diet, with limited consumption of red meat, dairy and gluten.
Thank you for your reply Elizabeth. It has been very helpful.
Hi there, I would like to know if spirulina helps with ovarian cyst. People been asking me to take spirulina. But I couldnt find online that says that spirulina helps with the cyst.
How many flat tsps would 3000mg of spirulina be?
This would depend on the Spirulina product purchased. In general it is best to follow the suggested use of the product purchased.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Spirulina powder is excellent in any Pregnancy Smoothie or Fertility Smoothie (minus a greens and Maca powder, and bee products). A pure spirulina supplement is suggested into pregnancy.
Breastfeeding woman can take spirulina capsules.
Spirulina is fine to consume in moderation while breastfeeding to my knowledge.
I read that Spirulina may contain mercury.
The article recommends acquiring from a reputable source, but how can I be sure of that what've purchased is from a reputable source? Can you make some recommendations? I have placenta previa and would like to keep my iron count up, given the added hemorrhage risk with this condition.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope that it is going well aside from having placenta previa!
Reputable sources are often Certified Organic, meet QAI standards, or are GMP certified. Each of these standards in general protects the consumer from purchasing a product which is not effective or even dangerous, and assures the identity, strength, quality and purity of the product. Do some searching for the logos for each certification to see how companies mark the product labels if you are not familiar already.
All of the supplements we offer are cGMP per FDA regulations and Organic Spirulina can be found in the Natural Fertility Shop.
You may already know these, but there are several food sources of iron – beets, spinach, beans, lean animal meats, pumpkin seeds, molasses and asparagus – which can all be consumed in pregnancy. Make sure to also include foods that help with the absorption of iron like oranges, strawberries, broccoli, tomatoes and green peppers.
How concerned do you think we should be about Fukishima and trace elements of radiation in the Pacific Ocean? I know that sounds crazy but I have a friend who no longer takes spirulina because of this. Thanks!
Good question. To tell you the truth, there are probably many places spirulina is harvested or farmed, and I would guess it would be of most concern to locate a source that is not directly in the line of the spread of the Fukushima radiation leak going into the ocean. I am not sure the actual scientific showing of the impact of the Fukushima fall out on our food sources of any kind, though I have read some articles on concerns of this, I am not 100% sure any of them are true. The brand of spirulina we sell come from organic farms, cultivated in ponds, not in the ocean. I think that if we constantly fear this issue, we may never eat anything, since much of our quality foods come from the West Coast of the United States. We do face a time of concern of human-made pollution in our food sources and all we can do is make the best possible choices, based on our own research of a product we wish to purchase. I assure you our spirulina containing products have very, very strict standards for quality. Has spirulina been contaminated by Fukushima? Have we? Have our other foods sources? Probably at some level, but to which level, I am not sure.
Spriulina is a nutrient dense food, there is no question about that. Choose organic, ethically farmed spirulina!


MADISON, Wis. – Bronson Koenig has a list of basketball related goals. Some are already checked off, many can be achieved in the very near future, others are more long term.
The biggest of the point guard's goals involves a phone call from an NBA general manager next June, and signing a professional contract. He spent his entire summer working towards turning that goal into a realistic possibility.
During previous off-seasons, Koenig would head back home to relax and escape the chaos that is the Wisconsin Badgers' campus life, recharging from a year's worth of a busy student-athlete schedule. This past summer, instead, he flew West, hired two different trainers and pushed his body to peak limits on a daily basis.
That was just the first month.
His summer schedule consisted of an early alarm and morning lift at a local gym with celebrity trainer Corey Calliet. Then, a quick rest, and a trip to UCLA's campus to workout with hoops training guru Mike Lee.

Tropical Smoothie Fans Will Be Happy About The Return Of Two Popular Flavors
By Erich Barganier/April 21, 2022 6:51 pm EST
Tropical Smoothie Cafe has struck gold with some of its beverages over the years. Every fan has a favorite: When customers want to indulge, they go for the Peanut Butter Cup or Mocha Madness smoothies, and when they want something with a nutritious punch, they grab a Detox Island Green. The chain has taken note of its customers' preferences and even created a greatest-hit menu on its website. The Bahama Mama and Acai Berry Boost made it onto the list, but not every fan favorite sticks around forever.
About a year ago, Tropical Smoothie Cafe released an announcement introducing a new starfruit smoothie and stating that its dragon fruit drink was making a limited-time return. The company's blog documented all of the love that these two smoothies received from fans, who posted photos of the brightly colored drinks with glowing reviews on social media. One YouTuber loved the combination of mango and strawberry in the starfruit drink, which they said was unlike any smoothie they'd tried before. Though these two smoothies won fans over, Tropical Smoothie Cafe decided to axe them from menus. Now, to the pleasure of many smoothie fans, the chain has brought the drinks back with the same time-tested flavors.
These smoothies are brightly colored and full of fiber-rich fruits
Tropical Smoothie Cafe has brought back its dragon fruit and starfruit smoothies just in time for spring, it revealed online. The vivid pink dragon fruit drink returns with the addition of mango, pineapple, and banana, while the starfruit specialty also comes with mango, strawberries, and lime. These drinks are only returning for a short period until supplies run out, so some fans have already made their way to the chain to try them. "Had the Starfruit this morning and uuh YUM!!!" one Instagrammer said, while another suggested adding customizations, like extra mango instead of pineapple in the dragon fruit smoothie — or even the addition of yogurt or white chocolate.
In addition to their color and flavor, some customers may enjoy these drinks for their health benefits. According to Healthline, fiber- and magnesium-rich dragon fruit comes from Central America and features a bold pink exterior with green "scales" that look somewhat like a dragon's skin, with a flavor that's "a slightly sweet cross between a kiwi and a pear." The starfruit smoothie features an equally fun fruit. Medical News Today reports that starfruit gets its name from its five-point shape when sliced, and it has a citrusy taste. The fruit, which originated in Southeast Asia, has an attractive green or yellow color and is full of fiber and vitamin C.

The goal of this Course is to provide a knowledgeable understanding on the origins of fires, sources of fires, how to protect yourself, and how to prevent fires from occurring.
Each year, serious fires take place at construction sites, work zones, and building refurbishment sites, causing severe injuries and material damages. Jobs sites that have large quantities of dry timber and ones that contain flammable materials, like insulation and adhesives, are especially prone to fires. Fortunately, most construction fires can be prevented by taking the following precautions.

Back to Profile Gallery > Linde Kryotechnik AG
Linde Kryotechnik AG
"Linde Kryotechnik is a member of the Engineering Division of The Linde Group, a global company that employs approximately 50,000 people," explains Klaus Ohlig, managing director of Linde Kryotechnik.
"Our company was originally established in 1972 as a cryogenic department within Sulzer Chemtech and formally became a part of Linde in 1992. Today it has 75 employees working in Switzerland with an average annual turnover of 30 to 40 million Euros."
Being a part of The Linde Group has inevitably led to working relationships between its various entities and offers particular benefits, as Klaus highlights. "The company isthe partner for Linde Gas in the field of helium and hydrogen liquefaction, hence focusing on low temperature cryogenics with applications at minus 250 degrees Celsius and below." However, Linde Kryotechnik also serves industrial gas companies outside the Linde Group for helium liquefaction from natural gasresources and hydrogen liquefaction for use in the semi-conductor industry, as well as for automotive applications.
Aside from the gas industry, a number of the company's key clients are universities and research and development facilities looking to acquire helium refrigeration and liquefaction systems for use in fundamental research and high energy physics: "Customers come from all over the world asking for Linde Kryotechnik's technology and services, particularly from the US, Europe, Japan, China and India," says Klaus.
Research and development activities play an important part in Linde Kryotechnik's business: "They are key drivers that ensure the business remains competitive," Klaus comments. "The company is constantly striving to standardise its plants, reduce their power consumption, and develop new and advanced technological concepts for complex applications in fundamental research and high energy physics.
"There are several other aspects that set the company apart. First and foremost it has very close relationships with its customers and is known for providing constant, detailed, competent, and quick support from the initial project idea through to project execution. Even after the plants are delivered to the customer and have successfully commenced operation, Linde Kryotechnik knows it still has a big role in serving the customer in the time that follows. Another selling point of the company is its set up with strategic partners, particularly in the US and Japan, specially tailored to the demands of these markets."
In recent years the company successfully developed plants to be used in the purification and liquefaction of neon. There are also plans in place to extend the company's technology to incorporate other rare gas applications. Linde Kryotechnik aims to get into position to head in this direction and be a global leader whenever respective project opportunities arise.
Linde Kryotechnik has been awarded a series of prestigious contracts in the last six months. In January 2011 it was tasked with the delivery of a helium refrigeration system to the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. The main purpose of this facility is to test cryomodules, however scientists from around the world can also use it to conduct a number of other superconducting radio frequency (SRF) research projects including the testing of controls, diagnostics and instrumentation.
"In the coming weeks, Linde Kryotechnik further expects to receive an order from a German research facility to undertake the upgrade of an existing helium refrigeration plant to serve a new fundamental research programme. This would be a particularly big, and technically interesting, project for Linde Kryotechnik," says Klaus.
"The market has always been challenging," he continues, "Switzerland presently has a very strong currency, which puts the company in a demanding position in relation to pricing. Supported by its technological excellence and through a continuous drive to optimised work flows, it has succeeded in even increasing its competitiveness despite of the strong Swiss Franc.
"Linde Kryotechnik is working in a very specific industrial field which expects to see a steady increase in projects over the next years, focusing on the company's strengths in deep temperature cryogenics. Demand from all over the world will continue with a number of big, exciting projects on the horizon."

New Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., includes stunning garden
The garden on the sixth floor terrace of the Museum of the Bible is designed around the tree of life.
Museum of the Bible Biblical Garden Rendering in Washington, D.C. (Museum of the Bible)
By Shelley S. Cramm|Special Contributor
11:00 AM on Nov 28, 2017 CST
Washington, D.C., has a new garden, a sheltered space set six stories up in the air, a sanctuary in the city's skyline.
These days, most urban rooftops are gardened for produce, providing caches of vegetable crops in raised beds. Instead, this garden offers the simple pleasures of refreshment and rest, a place for pastoral pause. It is the rooftop terrace at the Museum of the Bible, which opened in November a few blocks south of the U.S. Capitol.
Bible verses are not depicted on signage, nor are there any words graphically displayed in the garden. Yet perceptive Bible readers will quickly recognize one large tree in the center of the garden, the tree of life. From the words from Genesis: "In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life."
It is a reference returned to often in Scripture, describing a person "whose delight is in the law of the Lord ... that person is like a tree, planted by streams of water." The tree of life also appears at the end of the Bible's last book, Revelation: "On each side of the river stood the tree of life."

Beginning and end
Working with a relatively small space and the windswept challenges of the urban location, landscape architect Doug Hays, principal with Michael Vergason Landscape Architects, wanted to impart the overarching continuity of the tree of life, the garden element prominent in the Bible at beginning and end.
"Biblically, the history of man begins and ends in a garden," Hays says. "Both of these gardens are defined by the central elements of water and the tree of life, which establishes common ground and dawns a desire to draw near to God. It speaks to the soul's yearning to be restored."
The tree of life is most often described as planted by a river, thus Hays selected a riparian species, weeping willow, as the arboreal focal point of the garden space. The willow's graceful, gentle boughs communicate an approachable, welcoming beauty, with the invitation from the end of Revelation, "let the one who is thirsty come."
Beside the tree, a wall of water cascades into a reflection pool. The water wall depicts the vitality of moving water and trickles down into pensive, quiet waters that refresh the soul. The water feature also encloses the southern side of the garden, giving visitors a translucent view of the city through glistening droplets.

Flowers of the field
No garden is complete without flowers, and Hays called on the "flowers of the field" to enhance the pastoral setting. Atlas Fescue, an African pasture grass, along with Prairie Dropseed, a tufted ornamental grass, are ground covers for the garden beds surrounding the terrace.
They are dotted in spring and fall with a succession of wildflower-like display: anemones, bluebells, coreopsis, gaura, hellebores, lilies, tulips, windflowers. This would have been the setting for many of Jesus' open-field teachings, a small vignette to acknowledge the expansive reach of his words that inspired the museum below.
The Museum of the Bible includes multiple permanent and temporary exhibits, including discoveries from the Israel Antiquities Authority, treasures from the Vatican Library, and interactive walk-throughs of ancient cities. Entry to the museum and access to the sixth floor Bible Garden are free. Visit museumofthebible.org for more information.

Are you a Quora user? If so, you're certainly not alone. It is the internet's most popular question-and-answer website, which makes it a unique property in the social media ecosystem. Unfortunately, the site recently suffered a massive data breach that exposed the personal information of about one hundred million of the site's users.
The Quora team formally announced the breach on Monday, December 10th, 2018. They discovered the previous Friday that an "unauthorized third party" gained access to one of its core systems and stole user data on approximately half the site's users, which amounts to about a hundred million users.
A few things to note about the above: First, although passwords were stolen, they were hashed, which means that the hackers won't be able to immediately crack them. Of course they eventually could, but the process will take time.
Second, social network data was only compromised for users who employ the "Facebook" or other social media sign-in option.
The long and the short of it is that if you use Quora, there's at least a 50/50 chance your password and other data was compromised. To be safe, change your password immediately.

Message From the President: Call for Board Nominations
Liz Rejman
Have you ever thought about serving on the Apra Board of Directors but weren't quite sure about the path from member to director? Everyone's journey to board director is different. But there are a few common factors: active engagement and passion.
My first involvement with Apra was all because of a tweet. That's right: Social media was the door opener. I had tweeted to Lori Hood Lawson about social media and prospect research back when the concept of using social media for prospect development was an emerging trend that no one quite understood. The Ethics Committee had decided to draft a social media policy and were looking for a Canadian perspective to provide a diverse voice to the conversation. Lori was a member of the committee. My social media interaction with her was the catalyst for recruiting me to the committee.
My second volunteer role was serving on the 2013 Conference Executive Committee. Lauren Dixson was the Conference Chair. Lauren used her research skills and searched the Apra directory for people who indicated an interest in working on a conference. At some point in time I had checked the box on my profile to virtually put my hand up for such a volunteer opportunity.
Both of these volunteer opportunities were amazing. The Ethics Committee was a group of thoughtful, dedicated people who were passionate about ethics. The Conference Executive Committee was hard work, but it was fun to see behind the curtain at how the keynote was determined and to help shape the direction of conference presentations.
In both of these examples, it wasn't who I knew, but how I engaged in various spaces and with various people within and outside the Apra community.
Serving on the board requires leadership, strategic thinking and commitment. It also requires passion and a sense of adventure. As a former board member noted: "It's super hard work. And it sometimes feels like a part time job on top of your full time career. But it's also great fun and incredibly rewarding."
Apra has had some wonderful successes: We launched a refreshed brand; hosted our first ever virtual event, Plug-In to Prospect Research; seriously upgraded the Body of Knowledge with assessment quizzes; and continued to grow and refined the number of networking and education offerings.
What the future holds is shaped by the work of the board of directors with guidance from our committees and general membership.
And here's the thing: The board is stronger, more vibrant and a lot more fun when the group is a diverse mix. We want representation from all types of members with different volunteer experiences.
Nominations to join the Apra Board are now open through March 1. More information can be found here on the Apra homepage. The board is only as diverse as the nominations pool. I hope you will consider putting your name forward.

New National Poll Supports What ROF is Sensing: Bernie is Losing Ground: Needs to Begin Addressing all Issues
Ring of Fire Staff
Several national polls show that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's post-debate numbers have regained much of the ground she lost to Bernie Sanders over the summer.
If Sanders expects to regain his lost ground in the polls, he's going to have to address all of the issues important to Democratic voters. Clinton leads Sanders on being "closer" to potential voters on the issues, 53 – 36 percent. She also leads Sanders on who "understands the problems of people like you," 51 – 37 percent.
Clinton's new national poll numbers have her at 54 percent among Democrats and left-leaning independents. Last month, Clinton dipped to 42 percent, her lowest level of support in the last two years.
Sanders fell somewhat short of the lofty expectations faced going into last week's Democratic presidential debates. Despite an explosion of national grassroots support, his poll numbers have begun to decline.

SG Volkspolizei Potsdam, also known as SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was an East German sports community based in Potsdam, Bezirk Potsdam (present day Brandenburg). The club was founded in 1948 and its football department existed until 1952. Like other sports communities associated with the Volkspolizei, it was incorporated into SV Dynamo in 1953. The club was reformed as SG Dynamo Potsdam.

Football department

History
SG Volkspolizei Potsdam was founded in 1948 as a sports community for the Volkspolizei.  The football team began play in the Landesklasse Brandenburg in 1948, which at the time represented the firt tier of the East German football league system. It became one of the founding members of the second tier DDR-Liga in 1950.

SG Volkspolizei Potsdam was incorporated into the new sports association SV Deutsche Volkspolizei in 1950 and renamed SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam. SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam finished the inaugural 1950-51 DDR-Liga season as tied champions, but lost the deciding match and the qualification for the DDR-Oberliga against the tied team BSG Anker Wismar by 1–2. SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam player Gerhard Hänsicke became the top scorer of the 1950-51 DDR-Liga season with 18 goals.

Five players of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was delegated to Dresden in 1950 in order to reinforce SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden. Among the players delegated to Dresden were Herbert Schoen, Johannes Matzen and Günter Schröter. All three would later become successful players in SG Dynamo Dresden and play internationally for the East Germany national football team. The SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden had been chosen as an ideologically acceptable replacement of the dissolved SG Friedrichstadt.
SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was severely weakened by player delegations and finished the 1951-52 season on seventh place.

Sports association SV Deutsche Volkpolizei decided to relocate its three second-tier teams in Potsdam, Weimar and Schwerin to lager cities. SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was relocated to Berlin, SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Weimar to Erfurt and SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Schwerin to Rostock. The football department of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was relocated to East Berlin and merged with SV Deutsche Volkspolizeit Berlin during the summer of 1952. The team of SV Deusche Volkspolizei Potsdam became the new first team of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Berlin. SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Berlin also took over the place of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam in the 1952-53 DDR-Liga (de).

The sports association SV Deutsche Volkspolizei became sports association SV Dynamo on 27 March 1953. All sports communities affiliated to SV Deutsche Volkspolizei thus became part of SV Dynamo. The remainder of sports community SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was incorporated into SV Dynamo and reformed as SG Dynamo Potsdam, with departments in various sports, such as rowing, rugby, chess and athletics. Its department in rowing would become a designated center of excellence (), which came to foster several Olympic gold medalists, such as Jörg Landvoigt and Bernd Landvoigt.

Stadium
The home ground of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was the Ernst-Thälmann-Stadion in central Potsdam. The stadium was built in 1948-1949 and named after communist leader Ernst Thälmann, who was murdered in Buchenwald in 1944.

The stadium was built on the grounds of the Lustgarten, next to the adjoining Potsdam City Palace. The Lustgarten had been heavily damaged by air raids in World War II. The construction was carried out by members of the Volkspolizei, members of SG Volkspolizei Potsdam and volunteers. War debris from Potsdam was partially used for the building of the ramparts. The stadium had bleachers, a covered grandstand, technical facilities, a grass court and a 400 m cinder track. The stadium was the first major sports facility built in Germany after World war II.

The Ernst-Thälmann-Stadion would later be used by SG Dynamo Potsdam and BSG Turbine Potsdam, and was the home ground of Potsdamer Kickers in the 1990s. The stadium was demolished in 1999, and the Lustgarten was rebuilt in 2001 in accordance with its historical shape.

The opposition to Alberta's minimum wage hike, which takes effect this fall, has now sparked an online petition against it, organized by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
The new NDP government in the province has stated it plans to increase the minimum wage from the current $10.20 an hour to $15 an hour by 2018.
"Since the changes have been announced to Alberta's minimum wage, a flood of frustration has been pouring into our offices. The new government must hear the first-hand perspective from business owners about the negative impact this policy will have," said Amber Ruddy, senior policy analyst for the CFIB in Calgary.
The government announced recently the province's minimum wage will rise $1 to $11.20 on Oct. 1. Also, the liquor server minimum wage will jump to $10.70 an hour, from $9.20, in the first of two steps to eliminate the rate differential altogether in 2016.
The CFIB said it will support roundtable discussions on the issue with business owners.
A recent survey by the CFIB found that 79 per cent of small business owners in the province oppose the minimum wage hike to $15 by 2018 while 21 per cent are in support of it.
The CFIB survey is based on 973 responses from the organization's members between June 19-29.
Recently, the CFIB said another survey found that 48 per cent of small businesses in the province plan to raise prices for services and products if the minimum wage jumped to $15 an hour by 2018. The CFIB said 43 per cent of small business owners it surveyed said they would have to increase wages, while one-third said they would be forced to put future hiring plans on hold. One quarter of respondents said they would reduce employee hours, it said.
One-third of respondents said the minimum wage increase would have no impact on their businesses.

Snowy came to rescue as part of a very large rescue and he was just a pup. He needed a friend and Sooty took him under his arm. Of the two Snowy is more dominant, but that does not worry them at all as they are best of friends and he has always been guided by Sooty.
Sooty is utterly adorable. He was surrendered as a very young pup and has been in the sanctuary for just over 2 years along with Snowy. They are the most amazing pair, always happy and just love being treated.
I can't believe as our oldest residents they are still here.
Sooty was surrendered as a pup along with his 2 siblings. One of the siblings was openly attacking the other 2 ( Caramel) and has a dominant personality. So at that time they could not remain together. Poor Sooty who has a very calm personality met Snowy and they have been happily buddied for 2 years.
Sooty's Mum is also just as famous. Her name was Channel and she was adopted by an amazing husband and wife pair that run a facebook page about their piggies.

Home/Newsroom/Multimedia: Law review serves dual role in student education and critical legal analysis
Multimedia: Law review serves dual role in student education and critical legal analysis
Law review serves dual role in student education and critical legal analysis
Leif Palmer-Burns
For a glimpse of the diverse range of legal scholarship offered by the Lewis & Clark Law Review, readers need look no further than the table of contents of the winter 2009 edition, which points to articles ranging from the Supreme Court's definitions of constitutional rights to corporate security laws' impact on climate change legislation.
Given the robust and relevant offerings of the Lewis & Clark Law Review, some may be surprised to learn that—like most law reviews around the country—the publication is managed and edited by students. Given the depth of the scholarly writing, some legal experts have criticized law schools' support for student-led legal academic journals.
John Parry, law professor and faculty adviser for the Lewis & Clark Law Review, argues that law reviews play an important role in the legal sector because the publications expand the scope and depth of analysis and understanding of many pressing legal issues and precedent-setting cases in the U.S. and international court systems.
While many other academic journals go through an intense, time-consuming peer-review process, most law review content is vetted by students alone. This is a practical necessity in the academic publishing field, Parry argues.
"There is always a lot of criticism of law reviews and legal scholarship, but the bottom line is that having student-edited law reviews ensures that the worthwhile scholarship gets published," Parry said. "There are certainly many advantages to a peer-review system, but if that were the system we had in place for most legal scholarship, there would be fewer reviews, and the process of article selection would be more drawn out. Student-edited law reviews deliver important scholarship in a timely manner."
The law review also serves as an effective tool for preparing law students for their futures in the legal field in a number of ways.
"First, the law review experience provides students with an introduction to a wide array of legal scholarship. They learn about the various perspectives that people bring to bear on legal problems, and they learn more about the various ways that legal issues impact other social, political, and cultural topics," Parry said. "More simply, law review students learn to work hard, and to balance their time among different kinds of work. Finally, law review students have to dig into the details of scholarly articles, and they should take from that an appreciation of how important it is in law to pay close attention to the bits and pieces as well as to the larger picture."
Aubrey Thomas, editor-in-chief, and Leif Palmer-Burns, executive editor, have welcomed the challenge of overseeing the quarterly. Thomas manages the article selection process, vetting the approximately 300 articles submitted to the law review each year and working with a team of editors to narrow the field to 10 to12 articles for each issue. Shel also plays a major role in the editing process. Palmer-Burns is responsible for ensuring that author assertions and presented facts are logical and accurate. The burden of responsibility is not lost on them, nor is the weight of choosing sound legal analysis.
In this podcast, Thomas and Palmer-Burners discuss their editorial work, address law review critics, and tease out the theme for the annual Law Review Spring Symposium "Who Is the Reasonable Person?"

CTA Promotes Executives to Newly Created Positions
Arlington, VA—The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) announced two executive promotions involving newly created positions. Karen Chupka, a nearly 30-year employee of CTA, is now executive vice president of CES.
In addition, Tiffany Moore, who joined CTA in 2015, is senior vice president of political and industry affairs.
Karen Chupka
These promotions not only recognize the success of two members of the association's current senior management team, they also reflect CTA's leadership in issues critical to the future of the technology industry and innovation itself, the CTA announced.
"We are thrilled to recognize and reward the significant successes and outstanding contributions of Karen and Tiffany," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CTA. "They are outstanding examples of professional excellence, strong leadership and executive innovation at work. They represent the best of the consumer technology industry."
Karen Chupka oversees the sales, marketing, conferences, operations and management of CTA's events. This includes its annual trade shows, CES and CES Asia.
At CES 2018 in Las Vegas, nearly 4,500 exhibitors filled more than 2.75 million net square feet of exhibit space. Moreover, they showcased their latest products and services to more than 180,000 attendees from 150 countries.
Under Chupka's leadership, CES has been named the largest annual North American trade show by Trade Show Executive and Tradeshow Week.
"Karen has been invaluable in the remarkable evolution, growth and influence of CES," added Shapiro. "Our exhibiting companies know and trust her vision for the show and understanding of the tech trends that will drive our entire industry. Karen has helped enable CES to become the largest and most influential global technology event in the world."
Chupka first joined CTA in 1989. She has since held numerous roles within the organization. They include vice president of business development, director of industry relations and education, and director of marketing for CES. She has also served as director of business development with Gartner and worked for the National Association of Manufacturers.
Tiffany Moore
Tiffany Moore joined CTA as vice president of government and political affairs. She has lead the association's advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill on issues regarding communications and technology policy, patent litigation reform, strategic immigration reform and international trade. She also oversees CTA's political action committee, CTAPAC. In addition to these responsibilities, her new role will include overseeing CTA's U.S. Jobs, and Diversity and Inclusion initiatives.
"As an integral leader of our government affairs team, Tiffany has found common ground for Republicans and Democrats to work together as well as helped shape policies that allow U.S. innovation to flourish," said Shapiro. "Given her deep policy understanding and strategic vision, I know she'll thrive leading our efforts on diversity and inclusion, and the American workforce—key issues for CTA and the entire tech industry."
Before joining CTA, Moore served in public sector roles, including assistant U.S. trade representative for intergovernmental affairs and public liaison at the Office of the United States Trade Representative. She was also a legislative director for U.S. Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI).

Both albums are regular U.S. releases, though both are also out of print. The Cooder score on the Verve label is much more difficult to find.

Buy it... on the Ry Cooder album only if you are a collector of his works; the Bernstein album will likewise only appeal to collectors of the composer's modern scores.

WRITTEN 9/28/96, REVISED 5/21/06
• Bernstein
• Cooder
Last Man Standing: (Elmer Bernstein/Ry Cooder) Sergio Leone's 1964 A Fistful of Dollars with Clint Eastwood was an adequate American interpretation of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo from three years prior, though for some reason, director Walter Hill decided to make the same adaptation once again in the 1990's. Hill moves the setting up by another few decades into the prohibition era and, of course, inserts his usual excessive glorification of violence. The "no name man" who walks into 1920's Jericho this time is Bruce Willis, who may very have been perfect for the part, but in the process of destabilizing the truce between two Chicago bootlegging crime organizations in the small town (which leaves a whole lot of logical questions by itself), Willis takes advantage of his independent gunslinger skills to maim and kill people who obviously deserve such an end. And unless you're a fan of Hill's notion that it takes 40 bullets from tommy guns (shown very explicitly) to kill a man, then there's really no redeeming value in the film. Shunned by audiences in 1996, the film also suffered the wrath of critics, who easily exposed problems including the conflicting costume and set design for the period, Hill's bleaching of color from the film so that everything exists in a hazy yellow dust, and Ry Cooder's completely out-of-place electronic score that lets rip with some nasty rock sequences that the 57 people of Jericho could never have conceived of. Before Cooder's contribution, however, came a vibrant orchestral score from veteran Western composer Elmer Bernstein, who had transitioned from comedies in the 1980's to light dramas in the early 1990's. For Bernstein, Last Man Standing would be among the last opportunities to score a significant action picture on serious levels (Wild Wild West is much closer to his parody period than this), and for collectors of the composer weary of his minimal output at the time, Last Man Standing was an impressive orchestral explosion for that era in his career.
Bernstein's score revolves around a single main theme developed immediately and strongly in the opening cue (and eventually fading without victory in "One of the Last"), and the theme's identity involves a much stronger sense of pounding rhythm than we had heard for several years from Bernstein. A timpani and brass fanfare opens and closes the film, complete with gong and tapping light percussion; several cues within the score also let rip with the timpani, broad cymbal crashes, and other percussive diversity that is assisted by a clear recording quality. High volume brass sequences litter the score, though their performances aren't particularly memorable outside of their basic propulsive nature. The "Hijacking" cue throws a snare into some of these outbursts, providing some truly menacing moments. Comedy cues seem completely misplaced, however, as Bernstein can't seem to resist the dry humor in some of Willis' performance and returns to 1980's form. Conversational cues, such as "Felina's Story" make use of pleasant woodwind solos (no ondes martenot, though essentially similar), and if you step back and look at Bernstein's score as a whole, it's hard not to get the impression that the music was just not menacing or drab enough for Hill's vision of the tale. If Hill was looking for a score as gratuitous as the film's violence, then it's clear why Bernstein was fired from this job and his music thrown out. Despite the score being one of Bernstein's more impressive large-scale efforts of the 1990's, and Bernstein's understandable anger over the rejection of his work (which happened on five or six major films in the last decade of his career), Hill ended up with a replacement score that was even worse. Ry Cooder only writes film scores on the periphery in his career, and while his score on the surface might sound like something George S. Clinton or even Randy Edelman might write, his music here is nothing less than atrocious considering the era and location of the film.
Cooder's title theme is a rocking electric guitar and saxophone motif that tears at the lowest ranges of both instruments. The rhythm to this theme is good, and the band drums and assortment of ticking high percussion is faintly enjoyable, but once again, it has nothing to do with Jericho whatsoever. It's as though Hill went to Cooder and said "Bernstein's given me a geriatric score... spice this thing up with coolness." Outside of the title theme at the beginning and end, Cooder offers nothing but droning electronics and occasional sound effect samples, plunging the score into monotony and occasional irritation. In "Lucy's Ear" and "Bathtub," the guitar and sax return in painfully slow, meandering tones. Cooder's most interesting point includes a bizarre pipe organ and female vocal effect with the guitar in "Drive to Slim's." The entire endeavor seems pointless without the pizzazz of the opening theme, and Cooder's work offers nothing memorable. At its best, you get a solo acoustic guitar that Brokeback Mountain fans will recognize. There's a soft rock song (without vocals) in the final track on the album that would be a pleasant listen on a tropical island somewhere. The snazzy title theme will win some fans, too, but the rest of it is a wasteland of basic synths. You have to wonder if Hill listened to Cooder's faux Western rock score and had a fleeting thought of resurrecting Bernstein's recordings for the picture. At any rate, the film was unsalvageable anyway, so who cares? On album, few people seem to have taken an interest. The Cooder score is long out of print and is sought mostly by fans of the artist. Among all of Bernstein's rejected scores of the 1990's, Last Man Standing received a rare release from Varèse Sarabande that remains a little more readily available on the secondary market. Sound quality on both albums is commendable, which serves Bernstein's score more than Cooder's, for the vibrant recording quality puts a spark of life into his serious action rhythms. Film score fans should ignore the Cooder product all together, and Bernstein's album receives a luke warm recommendation. It doesn't seem like it would have fit the picture all too well, but on its own, it contains flashes of energy that went sadly missing from many of Bernstein's final scores. @Amazon.com: CD or Download

Popeyes is Now Selling Cookie-Crusted Chicken, & We're Here for It
June 6, 2017 at 3:06pm PM EDT
Is there anything better than dishes that combine sweet with savory? Salted caramel, teriyaki beef and now… cookie-crusted chicken?
Related story This Store-Bought Cookie Dough Hack Will Make You Feel Like a Pro Baker
Sure, Popeyes' new cookie-crusted chicken tenders, which are breaded in a crispy coating of shortbread cookies, sound kind of out there. But if you really think about it, are they any different than the myriad other sweet and savory chicken options? Or more bizarre than other fast food creations, like the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Cheetos Sliders? Probs not.

Cookies are perhaps a more overt nod to dessert, but no one seems to bat an eyelash at drizzling fried chicken and waffles in syrup, dunking hot chicken in honey or coating fried chicken nuggets in a sweet orange sauce.
But just because we aren't phased by this culinary mashup doesn't mean that the rest of the world isn't freaking out (even though the tenders actually look totally normal — you'd never even be able to guess they were coated in cookies instead of breadcrumbs).

It didn't take long for Spaceman to discover what had happened at Port Adelaide. The simple fact was the people of the church liked Spaceman. They were rooting for him. Freed for the first time in decades from the junk, Spaceman found it easy, almost liberating, to simply be charming. That this brought the knock-on effect of bending their loyalties to him was a pleasant surprise.
"I told him that he should not attempt the rescue," said Iglesias.
Despite the transparent lie, Spaceman smiled. Iglesias meant well and that counted for more than a little.
"You did the right thing," Spaceman comforted the slender, nervous man. "Where can I find The Master?"
"He has not left his quarters in many days," and seemed once more nervous. This reaction mystified Spaceman until he realized Iglesias had assumed they all already knew this. The preparations for the transference had claimed most of his attention. Spaceman saw that he had put himself in an awkward position, the assumed successor of a nearly divine power and yet insulated from all of the actual decisions. That would change.
He began audience with The Master in a very different manner. He stood in front of him, held his eyes, and felt the gravity of the room shift in his favor. The Master was no longer strong enough to command the AC commandoes alone. The Archlord lurked in the shadows, a die-hard working again him. He would need to be dealt with, obviously, but not all snakes could be dispatched on sight.
Spaceman bowed to the deathless entity. When given leave to rise he said, "I have come to apologize."
The Master narrowed his eyes. "For what reason?"
"It has come to my attention that a mission was enacted to rescue a member of the Anti-Cerebrist organization. During the course of the mission, a terrible tragedy occurred."
The Master's eyebrows shot up. He didn't know. Spaceman looked over at the Archlord. In a second he saw the old man's game. Playing for time, hoping that some other option would present itself. Spaceman nearly laughed out loud. There was nothing in his way now.
"The previous leader of the Anti-Cerebrists has perished in a gun battle."
The Master gritted what remained of his teeth. "That is very unfortunate." Although he did not turn his head, the true target of this pronouncement was clear.
Spaceman could not afford to gloat. The imbalance provided an opportunity.
"The ceremony will be ready for the scheduled night," he goaded. He shifted his attention away from the Master, whose reaction he could guess, to the Archlord, who he didn't yet know well. He suspected the Archlord had preferred to be a stranger.
"The men of this church have been preparing for this night for years," the Archlord said simply. "They know their responsibilities."
And do you yours? Spaceman smiled. Still keeping part of his attention on his rival, he kept his face open, honest. "We are nearing portions of the ceremony that will require more experienced management."
The Master knew what he meant. He had been delaying having the Archlord work with him for precisely this reason. He betrayed some of his distaste in a flicker of his eyes. "So be it, Spaceman, tell the priests they may have audience with the Archlord."
"And of course, as the vessel, I will require a similar audience."
The Master's frail body tensed, a flash of the old fury flashing in his eyes. But in the end what other choice would he have? He nodded. The Archlord, a much paler and uncertain figure left with Spaceman and the other priests.
There was a tremor in his hands when they stopped in front of the door to the knave. Why was he frightened? Spaceman only wanted to be the Archlord's friend. Collegiality should never be a source of anxiety.

New Book Tells the Story of a Fictional Town Where African Americans Live With Zero Tolerance of Crime
Bookcover
Nationwide — Living on the Edge in Freedomtown, released this month, by author Jacqueline T. Small is a story set in Freedomtown, a fictional town created that brags of a utopia where African Americans live.
Freedomtown is a quiet little town located west of Philadelphia. It was founded by a fugitive slave named Samuel Freeman, who also wrote the town charter back in 1862. Sheriff Michael Freeman, who is a descendant of the Freeman clan, is charged with keeping Freedomtown safe. He is the youngest sheriff that has ever been appointed, and he has a lot to prove.
The Freedomtown charter prohibits potential residents with a criminal background from residing in the town, but sometimes people slip through the cracks and cause the townspeople to be… living on the edge in Freedomtown.
One character, Stone 'Money' Jones, is living a double life in Freedomtown. He is the product of a dysfunctional family, which steers him in the wrong directions. It is up to Sheriff Freeman to solve the mystery and restore safety and security to this quiet little town.

Is Washington Having a Jewish Food Moment?
Monica Dimas and Molly Westman want to bring the East Coast bagel out west.
Monica Dimas knows something about fervid fans. She's already opened restaurants devoted to Mexican street food and Charleston-style fried chicken in Seattle. Nothing, though, could have prepared Dimas and Molly Westman for the reaction they got announcing a café devoted to great bagels and coffee.
"It got crazy. Everyone had something to say," says Westman, who previously worked at Macrina Bakery and is heading up the baking and operations of Dimas's new enterprise, called Westman's.
People weighed in on what style of bagels they should bake. (Lofty, with a good chew and a hole that isn't so big the cream cheese falls through.) Schmears were clearly crucial: "We have cream cheese interviews this week," Dimas says during the run-up to opening day.
The public excitement didn't faze them. After all, they both love bagels too. And, "Being Mexican, I'm totally used to everybody having an opinion about food. It's very similar culturally," says Dimas, who, at 32, owns a small restaurant empire including Neon Taco, Tortas Condesa, and Sunset Fried Chicken Sandwiches.
Westman's Bagels and Coffee came about because Dimas was fond of the teensy storefront at 1509 East Madison St. that once housed Little Uncle and then Manu's Bodegita. "It's a difficult space, but it's a cool space, and I've always really wanted it," she says.
She thought bagels, coffee, and New York breakfast sandwiches filled a perfect niche, both logistically and in the daily lives of passersby. A friend introduced Dimas to Westman, a Florida native and rabbi's daughter with Seattle Culinary Academy's pastry program on her résumé and a dream of opening her own place. Their personalities and goals fit together like corned beef and rye.
Their days were soon filled with research trips and test bakes and crucial decisions, like serving unsmoked gravlax and smoked lox so that the flavor comes through better. For starters, they expect bagel types to include sesame, salt, pumpernickel, everything, and a fifth option that will probably be sweet.
They'll do challah on Fridays and seasonal options like hamantaschen. And they're already overwhelmed with requests for wholesale bagels.
