Mellow Yellow Sunday

I'm so pleased how this card worked out using BG Origins and Friday Sketchers Sketch this week. I have turned the sketch and used the usual suspects ribbon and punched flowers with roses and of course not forgetting the stamped Sarah Kay image.
I have to report I was disappointed with the Make it show and I really have to think hard whether next year will be worth its ticket price. It is possible we've just got too much stuff and we've been crafting for a few years so we not easily impressed but I still manage to buy some stuff and most of my list was all brought.
So I managed to buy glue, dst, chalkpads, acylic blocks, new home sentiment stamp and not on my list some PB stamp two of which were in the £2 off baskets and a couple of A5 set of stamps from Jenny of HobbyArt and a large pad of Bazzill paper which I now wish I brought more.
Then we popped down to the Art of Craft which is only a hop, skip and jump away from the show, they were having a second hand craft sell, where they sell your unwanted craft stuff and 20% goes to the charity sorry I forgotten which one it is. So I managed to buy some stamps most were PB and Cricut pens so maybe a successful day after all.
If you're planning to go to the Make it Show today unfortunately they've cancelled because they're expecting strong winds.
One thing we did do was to book ourselves on a Copic class with UK Copic Certified Tutors on the 25th April at Farnborough Hants in fact its at the Holiday Inn or the Queens Hotel if you're local. It being arranged by Stamps and Memories so hopefully I will be able blow the dust of my copics.
I've waffled enough now signing off.
Oh just wanted to Wave to Sarah aka Crafty Little Minx, lovely to meet you.

Stitching Saturday

I really must pluck up courage to use a sewing machine, this card took ages just because I hand stitched all the mats. The reason for the stitching its the challenge today over on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and we also welcome the two Vickys as permanent members of the DT.
Do go and check DT's creations, some of them are much braver than I actually used a machine.
So I've got my money, my list and the tickets, so what are the odds that I bring home stuff not on my list!

Wisteria Easel card

There's a couple of challenges calling for easel cards one of them being Everybody-Art-Challenge. I love making them but haven't for a while, also Bev has a fab sketch on WOJ challenge so I brought them both together. I did have to alter the flowers on the sketch since they would be in the way of the dress. Of course I used one of WOJ city girl collection and the fab Wisteria pack from BG, I've only got the not so nice papers left. Flowers are the funky flower punch and the border is a Fiskars punch.
All I wish now that these easel cards weren't so hard to photo.
Well it's the Make it Show at Farnborough this weekend and there's no way we're going to miss it since it's on the doorstep. Sis has sold some of my cards so I've an extra pot of money but I'm going to try and be good, I don't need any papers, or stamps (too many uninked already)I do have a list but on it is boring stuff, like glue, inkpads etc.

Colour Challenge

There's a great challenge on Simon Says Stamps group over on PaperCraft Planet, its a colour challenge. Brown, Vanilla (cream) and Teal, I immediately thought of the Basic Grey papers I think could be Offbeat but I've long since lost the front cover. My main prob was the cream was white in the papers so I picked papers with a small amout of white and used cream cardstock for everything else . The papers came out of a kit and I was just going to put them with my other flowers but they're perfect for the colours. Sweet Tilda and yummy chocolate ribbon with some MS butterflies to finish.
There's plenty of time to join the challenge and Simon says stamps are giving away a prize to the winner.

Is it Spring Yet

I wasn't going to miss out on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge although the colours Pink, Green and Yellow pretty much has me stumped till I remembered I had a papermania card pack that would work.
Since the shade of colours I had choosen pretty much screamed Spring I found a PB Easter stamp that I brought last year. My MS doily punch had an outing along with my funky flower punch. I was really pleased to find an Easter sentiment on a Woodware set.
I'm keeping this short and sweet since my index finger is sending pins and needles up into my hand, doesn't hurt but it does feel quite bizarre!

The winner of the Bigshot keep checking the Simon Says Stamps shop blog

Vintage Sarah Kay

Now I'm sure they're trying hide behind words over at Simon Says Stamps Challenge lets not call it distressing lets call it Vintage, Now I see Vintage as old stuff or new stuff made to look like old stuff and to do that you have, thats right, you have to distress it. Don't tell anyone but I'm really pleased how this turned out. The papers are My Minds Eye, distress torn with a contrast piece underneath the torn bits and I used my pokey tool to make the pinprick holes and to finish a sweet Sarah Kay image with a bit of lace and ribbon.
Now we're show casing Prima Flowers this week, well thats a story in it self, first my flowers are in colour all mixed up with various makers, so I brought myself a marvellous set from Prima from Simon Says Stamps. It has bright sunny flowers with buttons etc all to match and its fab but I do suggest that you read what challenge they're for before you buy them cos they don't work for Vintage.
Lucky for me I remember Lols sending some prima flowers for Christmas and although they're colour coded I do remember these fab hydrangeas which I had to DISTRESS to match the card and the fab pearls are Papermania from my stash.
Now don't forget to join us at Simon Says Stamps Challenge and you can win shopping voucher for $25 all postage paid. They've just added Greeting Farm and CC cuties too you can see them here.
I had a fab day yesterday my friend came for the day and after a long chat, we craft and stopped to watch Sir Tim on QVC. But I'm suffering a bit today, a case of a punch too many.

Seventies Chick

Simon Says Stamps are stocking Greetings Farm stamps and as a member of the DT I will be able to show case them on their challenge blog. I've only a few of these stamps since I wasn't over pleased with my results and thought they work better with copics but I thought I would give them another try. I brought this one because she is wearing my coat I had in the seventies when I thought I was cool. The fluffy stuff is from Woodware which I had to use it just wouldn't look right if I didn't. I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday this week but I had to turn it. The papers are Papermania that they've brought out for the Daisy and Dandelion collection.
I'm really please how she turned out but do feel I may have to improve the shading with her face.
Well I had a busy day yesterday, someone forgot their dentist appointment, good job Hubby had it his diary and since he had to take me he knew what time etc. Then it was trip down to Furniture shop and brought all the bits we wanted for living room. Had to get the smelly salts out for Hubby when it was added up. Trip to Sainsburys before getting home for Hubby's friend whose going to improved my fireplace which I don't want changing not matter what everyone keeps telling me. Phew I think a nice quiet day is in order crafting.

Soggy Monday

Who else loves those free papers from one of the craft mags I know I am and I'm going to be really disappointed when they all go.
There's a fab sketch from Jay Jay on Just Magnolia although I have turned it. This poor Tilda rarely gets used so it was nice to blow the dust off, not sure about the blue easter egg. Prima flowers with Wild Orchid roses and MS butterflies and border punch.
Well my front room has been re-plastered so it's down to Hubby, so confident is he that it will done soon we're off to buy some new furniture, this could be fun. Hubby's a traditionalist and I like a touch of modern so the trick is to find something in between.
The reason for todays title its pouring with rain that even the ducks have gone into hiding.

Sunday Duo

I had this cute skater Miki from Pink Gems Designs, coloured and waiting to be made into a card. So when I went to use him he had disappeared I looked everywhere. I coloured another and you guessed it when I made him into a card, I found his twin and annoyingly he was in front of my eyes the whole time so thats why you see two but different cards.
My first is using the Friday Sketchers sketch this week, using my scraps of Scenic Route papers. I struggle with rub ons sometimes they work and sometimes they don't so why I thought I could rub on a brad I don't know but it did take two attempts.

The second card is using the Mojo Monday sketch, I was inspired by the DT cards and was going to put a star under the sentiment but decided against it and just used some pretend brads. I cheekily added a fancy paper clip so it would work for the Cute Card Challenge this week but I think it breaks up the plainness that you get from having to make boys cards.
My nephew is here plastering my living room, I'm off to hide.

A card for Mum

My turn to choose a challenge on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and now Valentine's day is over the next important date is Mother's Day, well it is if you're in the UK. So my theme is a card for Mum whether Mothers Day or Birthday, or a female card for someone special.
My card is for my Mum's Mother Day and she loves busy cards, it has to have everything on it and even though I couldn't workout where to pu tsome glitter, the roses have been sprayed with glimmer mist to make them shimmer.
I'm not too sure if she will like the images my Mum doesn't quite get cute but likes flowers so hope the roses make up for that.
I've used the lattice deep border punch and the butterflies from MS, the images are WOJ. I only used one sheet of patterned paper from papermania there was enough going on without using lots of layers.
I've been asked what size cards I use, I make mine all from A4 linen card that I buy in bulk and for square cards they are 14.5cm and the card I used today is 14.5cm by 20cm.

If you looking for Mr Linky to link your card for the Simon Says Stamps Challenge blog it's

Puddy Cat Friday

You can see I'm still struggling to make cards and given that this PB puddy cat is quite a large image it didn't leave much space to decorate. The challenge on Penny Black Challenge is for Valentine but since thats been and gone and my Wedding Anniversary is creeping up I thought I make it for hubby.
The papers are Scenic Route and of course I had to use my MS heart punch, the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps sentiment set.
Should be an interesting weekend, my nephew is coming to sort out the walls in our living room so we can decorate and so he can have an early start he's staying at my Sis along with he's wife and children. So she won't be able to go to Scrapbuddies on Sunday.

Thursday, February 18, 2010

If only I finished this card earlier yesterday I would have been able to photo it in sunlight but this morning its so dark and wet but it better than that white stuff.
Can you believe it but I've had no inclination to make a card and even though this dragon from High Hopes is so cute I had to force myself in my craft room to make it.
I think its because my room is in chaos which as overflowed into the dining room and needs a thorough sort out but till the warmer weather I've got to live with it.
To make my card I knew the sketch from Sketch Saturday would be perfect and the papers are those citrus ones from DCWV, the circles are a bubbles quickutz die and the dragons bubbles had to be glossy accented.
I am still doing other things like the Indian Maiden I started to cross stitch last year I'm now doing the outlining which is a pain but it really comes alive.

Monday Aliens

There's a sketch on Moving Along with the Times and I thought it would perfectly with these images, not sure whether you consider them cute companions though. I was going to do it as a Mans card cos of another challenge, now I can't remember whose it was and since I've popped on a 6 in the star it's not a mans card anymore. The images are the fab Dustin Pike stamps from High Hopes and the papers are some Scenic Route that was in my stash such a shame they're no more they were one of fave papers.
Yes I was a bit worse for wear yesterday not so much because I over indulged, well maybe a bit but I had an awful night sleep, one don't drink a lot of water to keep you sober you'll spend the night going to the loo and two strong cups of coffee will mean once you're a wake you'll have a job going back to sleep!
The next few weeks we're furniture shopping for the living room which is going to use up valuable crafting time but means must.

Lazy Sunday Morning

Whilst buying the new LOTV stamps maybe one or two old ones dropped into my basket and this little chap was one of them, he's so cute. The words on the oval panel I think they're Hero Arts but the packaging as long since gone, love that the clear stamps can be manipulated so that you can curve them a bit.
The sketch is Friday Sketchers and if you use Button and Bows it works for Totally Papercrafts challenge so using the Kaiser papers I made my own buttons.
Oh heck I've just noticed the orange backing tape, how annoying and I don't have time to re-photo, putting my party clothes once I've done this post for Mr Blogger to schedule.
Hope your love ones give you a Valentine today, Hubby decided its a waste of money and brought me two craft magazines instead now that's what I call love!

All new Posts see below.

Multifold Mice

I was going to be really adventurous with Christine's Multifold challenge on Secret Crater Saturday Challenge but I had these two sets of PB mice coloured so they determined what type of fold I would do. So I settled for a gate fold card.
Yes the papers would be the Citrus pack from DCWV what else would you use for lemonade.
The word strips were printed on the PC and my Woodware daisy punch was working hard too.

The inside the words are cricut cut out of Base Camp and the tiny alphas were in my stash.

Wasn't sure what do with the inside panels and I probably would have been better of stamping in red but I used a Hero Arts clingy stamp that I got from Simon Says Stamps. I do love the effect I can see myself using this one again.
Do check out the DT they're were much more adventurous then me and lots of love to teamie Gina who as had to step due to personal reason.
I've got myself in a pickle and I really must get on top with my list of things to craft and with being out tonight to celebrate Chinese New Year (they've celebrating Valentines tomorrow so they brought it forward one night) and beening worse for wear not much is going to get done this weekend.

Froggy Friday

I was having a bit of a dilemma in choosing my title today, should it be Froggy Friday or Take Three cards, as you can see the frogs won. I was asked to make some New home cards and immediately it became a chore, but since I ordered this stamp from Simon Says Stamps specially for the purpose, I coloured a few in. I thought I would have a go using the Mojo Monday sketch, the papers were scraps.
Then I thought they would work with A spoonful of Sugar Recipe Challenge, the embossing folder is in fact from Crafts Too which I think you will find available from The Art of Craft, I think this one is nicer than the cuttlebug new butterfly folder but that's just my opinion.
I still had a set of frogs left so this time I used the Sketch and Stash sketch and the fab papers from Citrus pad from DCWV.
I'm now bored with the frogs need to find something else now!

Pins and Pearls

Ahhh back in my comfort zone, Penny Black mice and lately the citrus colours that I'm loving at the moment bringing a touch of spring on my blog. I can't believe I nearly didn't buy this DCWV pack cos it seems to be my constant companion at the mo.
I'm not too sure about the pin and flowers, quite like the curly bits which are the wire I cut off the roses and I've seen on other crafters blogs. The heart pearls are from Hobbycraft which fell into my basket the other night while buying something I needed for my Secret project. The sentiment is Woodware by Jane Gill, they're two stamps put together.
The sketch is from Truly Scrumptious and there's a reason for the using a Pin and Pearls that would be the challenge on Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
Janet over at Pink Gem Stamps has these fabby candy including the Sprinkles with attitude that I used the other week but honestly you can chose the 6 your fancy providing they're in stock.

I've also received this yummy award from Lesley from Grenouille Greetings, many thanks.

What is E-Commerce?

What is E-Commerce? E-commerce is the activity of selling or purchasing goods over the Internet, either electronically or physically. The term is also used to describe an entire collection of web-based activities, sometimes involving various markets (virtual or real) that provide value through the exchange of information systems, products, services, and payment systems. E-Commerce is rapidly becoming the preferred way to buy and sell goods and services online.

One key takeaway from understanding what is the e-commerce is that most (if not all) traditional markets such as retail sales, gift and service businesses, cinema theatres, shopping malls, bars, and restaurants are gradually being converted to electronic stores (e-retailers). This is because consumers have become much more demanding when it comes to shopping and they are no longer satisfied to merely go to the shops and buy items as and when they feel like doing so. They want to do it now, with the click of a button! And this is where the opportunities come in for retailers.

In the traditional retail market, there is only one mode of transaction: walking into the physical store, paying for the item, then entering the credit card information and delivering the product to the customer. With e-commerce business, the scenario is quite different: the customer enters the virtual space and makes his purchase using a credit card, then selects an item from a list, selects a payment method, and finally places the order. The entire transaction happens online! In fact, it is this very nature of the transaction that has made shopping through e-commerce businesses such a boom in the industry.

As already mentioned, the reason why most consumers come to purchase their items via the World Wide Web is convenience. They just have to click a few buttons and voila! They have done it! Hence, the need to ensure a perfect e-commerce experience for the shoppers, especially when they come to make their purchases is of paramount importance to any business. It is the ability to offer the right amount of services and ease of access at the same time which plays the biggest key takeaway in ensuring a successful e-commerce business.

One of the most important key takeaway is ease of access. With the right shopping cart in place, it becomes easy for the consumers to locate and select their preferred items. When they are already looking through the online catalog of the business, the checkout process can be completed with ease. Furthermore, the shopping cart allows for easy payment options and discounts or rebates to be availed of. All this ease of access functions make the process of buying goods easier for the consumers, thereby increasing the overall profits of the business online.

Another key takeaway is the promptness of the service and support. The e-commerce site should not only provide the facility of instant pricing in its products and services but also should be able to help solve problems or queries by means of a live chat or even by phone, should the need arise. This makes it an instant source of income for the business, while at the same time attracting more customers to come and shop. Promptness and service of any company should never be overlooked. Such a trait will ensure that the consumers come back to the site often.

Yet another key takeaway is having a physical store that appeals to customers. Having a physical store gives the consumer the sense of being in a brick and mortar store, without having to go through the hassle of online shopping. Moreover, having a physical store adds a sense of security to the customers. Since they can physically touch, feel and smell the product, they are more confident about the reliability of the product. The fact that they can physically inspect the goods further entices them to purchase from the site.

To sum up, there are many things to look for when deciding what is e-commerce. These are things that cannot be overlooked, since they have the potential to make or break the success of the e-commerce business. If a company wants to succeed in this type of business, then these four things should never be overlooked. However, if a company has the resources to both maintain a physical store and also cater to online orders, then it can be said to have successfully embraced the e-commerce business.

Are you in your 20s and find yourself with loose teeth, or even lost a couple? Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. Despite the loss of teeth being associated with older populations, there actually isn’t anything about old age that causes the loss of teeth.

In fact, losing teeth depends more on your overall health and your oral health rather than your age. It is entirely possible to lose teeth at the age of twenty, just as it is at the age of 70, and every age in between. In fact, there is a 4% chance that somewhere between the age of 20 and 65 that you will lose all of your teeth.

Keep reading to learn more about why your teeth might be falling out at a young age, and what to do about it, as well as more about dental implants.

Why Am I Losing My Teeth In My 20s?

There are many reasons you may find yourself losing teeth in your twenties. Whether as a result of an accident or as a sign of other health issues, there is always the possibility, even if it isn’t super common.

Here are some of the most common reasons you can expect to find yourself losing teeth as early as in your 20s.

  • Smoking is well-known to be bad for the mouth. Not only can it cause cancer, but it can increase the number of bacteria in the mouth which can lead to tooth decay and gum diseases.
  • Periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is also commonly referred to as gum disease. It attacks the soft tissue and can cause root rot, which can lead to teeth falling out.
  • Other health problems. Even if the health problems you face aren’t related to your mouth, your teeth may still suffer from the sickness. Anything from autoimmune diseases to diabetes can cause problems with your teeth.
  • While Osteoporosis may seem like a disease more designed for old people, that doesn’t mean that younger people can’t get it. Osteoporosis leads to a lack of bone density. Which can damage the jawbone and weaken t to the point that teeth can’t be supported in the mouth anymore.
  • Poor dental care. People often overlook brushing and mouthwash when taking care of their mouths. However, they are equally as important as brushing twice a day. Make sure when you brush you are performing gentle, circular strokes and brushing for two minutes twice a day. Flossing and mouthwash should also occur, though at once a day.
  • While cancer may not cause tooth loss by itself, the radiation that people undergo with cancer treatments tends to cause a lot of issues with a patient’s hair and mouth such as teeth falling out, or disease due to a weakened immune system.
  • Lost a tooth previously. Many people that lose a back tooth tend to just ignore it, as it doesn’t cause any cosmetic harm. However, a loss of any tooth can cause harm to your mouth if it hadn’t been replaced by an implant. Your teeth try to move to fill in the large gap. This can lead to bigger spaces between teeth that allow for more food particles to get into and cause decay in the area. It also can weaken the jaw, as it is lacking the weight it needs to remain strong.
  • While stress can also be a part of an illness, it can also just be by itself. Individuals that are highly stressed due to work or family situations may find their teeth loosening or falling out. Teeth grinding is also common when stressed, which can cause injury.
  • Trauma is a very common reason for tooth loss at a young age. From falling to playing sports, knocking a tooth or two loose isn’t unheard of. However, that isn’t the only trauma you may subject your teeth to. Even mundane things like ripping open bags or holding objects in your mouth can cause trauma to your teeth and eventually damage or break them.

Is It Common To Lose Teeth In My 20s?

While it certainly isn’t normal to lose your teeth in your 20s, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. In fact, studies have shown that out of 32 teeth on average, people between the age of 20 to 34 years have a mean number of 27 permanent teeth.

Another statistic you may be shocked to hear is that almost 4% of adults that are over the age of 20 have no remaining teeth.

So if you’ve lost a tooth in your 20s, don’t worry, you aren’t alone.

How To Prevent Further Tooth Loss

The first way to prevent further tooth loss involves improving overall health. This includes not only your oral health but your physical health as well. Make sure you are taking proper care of your teeth by brushing twice a day with fluoride as well as flossing and using mouthwash. Brushing your tongue is also a way to get rid of any excess germs ad gunk that may build up in your mouth.

Reducing stress can also help to improve the health of your teeth. It can reduce or eliminate grinding, and provide better mental and physical health.

With health, it may not be easy when you have conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis, which are outside of your control, however, making sure you have the proper vitamins and minerals can help improve your health greatly.

Eliminating smoking and increasing exercise doesn’t necessarily increase your oral health but increases your overall health, which can greatly benefit your teeth and gums.

It is also important to be careful of trauma that may damage or loosen your teeth. While you can’t avoid everything, you can make smarter decisions like using scissors to cut things open and wearing a mouth guard to prevent damage while playing sports.

A mouth guard is also an excellent tool to use if you grind your teeth a lot at night.

Am I Too Young For Implants?

No! Though we associate tooth loss with older populations, it doesn’t discriminate based on the age of a person. However, society has made it seem this way, and many younger people are afraid to go and get teeth replaced or repaired.

This doesn’t have to be the case. Implants and dentures are available for anyone, regardless of age or how many teeth you’ve lost. And remember, it is a common situation, even if not talked about much, so it isn’t worth harming your teeth and jaw further due to embarrassment. If you lose a tooth or multiple teeth, even at the age of 20, it is worth going to see a dentist have implants put in.

Are Implants Noticeable?

There are a few different types of dental implants, and some are more noticeable than others. However, if you go with the more natural ones, no one will ever notice that you’ve had an implant. Even some of the less natural ones do look fine, but sometimes they stain easier than your normal teeth do, so you might have to replace them more frequently.

What Kind Of Teeth Implants Can I Get?

There are three main ways to place implants into your mouth. The first is Endosteal implants, which are the most common and involve screwing into your jawbone. They require a strong jawbone but are easy to do and are the most common.

The next is Subperiosteal. These are alternatives to Endosteal and involve more of a rest on top of the bone instead of being screwed in. This is common if there isn’t enough jawbone or the patient is nervous about an extensive surgery that involves adding bone to the area.

The final option is rarely used but is a good option if you don’t have enough jawbone or your bone isn’t dense enough to go through with the other dental procedures. It is the most surgically technical, so it is only used as a last resort.

It may seem embarrassing to have lost a tooth in your twenties, no matter the reason. However, it is important to note that you are not alone, and quite a few people have likely already lost a tooth at this age as well.

T protect the rest of your teeth, it is important that you manage your oral health and physical health well, and take steps to go through with teeth implants.

Chicanas: Nurturers and Warriors

Winner XicanIndie FilmFest 2022

The Making of Chicanas: Nurturers and Warriors

By Rowena Alegría, Chief Storyteller

When History Colorado embarked on its Year of La Chicana project, agreeing to partner was easy. The Office of Storytelling would create a companion film to accompany their exhibit, to celebrate unsung Chicana sheroes. No problem.

The first challenge was to determine which of so many amazing Denver Chicanas to include in the film. The list we started with was pages long. Some of the women were part of the social justice movement, others were not. All had fought for our community in spaces where we had for too long been missing: politics, education, business, healthcare, the arts. Ultimately, we knew our tiny team with such limited resources could never hope to include everyone worthy; this was a short film and not a mini-series.  And honestly, thanks to the pandemic, not everyone was willing or available. We finally included a spectrum of women who represent our very best in a variety of areas, with the continual hope that we’ll be able to make many more stories that include some of the voices we didn’t capture here in future projects. Believe me, we hung onto that list and add to it continually. (See Denver’s First Chicano/Latino Historic Context.)

The next challenge arose as we began to conduct interviews. The Chicana story is complicated. Although the Census would like to lump us together under a single manufactured label, the reality is we come from many different backgrounds, different places and different cultures. Even those most likely to identify as Chicana might have come from California or Texas, New Mexico or somewhere south of the Rio Grande, which others call Rio Bravo. Some of us have near indigenous connections from any number of nations, others more distant or European or African. And on and on.

Read More About the Making of Chicanas: Nurturers and Warriors

We couldn’t possibly begin to do any of these stories justice without acknowledging First Nations peoples or touching on colonialism. And what kind of Chicana story would be complete without an explanation of how the border crossed us? COVID made it even more complicated.

With in-person interviews no longer an option, we researched and researched some more. We interviewed Regis University Provost and now also State Historian Nicki Gonzales to help us pull it all together. We dug into archives including those at History Colorado, the Western History Collection at Denver Public Library, the Library of Congress, The Denver Post and more searching for images to illustrate a history that goes back centuries.

The problem is, when a people’s history has been ignored or denied, overlooked and dismissed, for as long as ours has, this is not an easy task. We so often find ourselves recreating a history that should have been there but isn’t. That’s why the Office of Storytelling exists, that’s why our work is so vital.

In our individual home offices, I think every one of my team members – then four of us, and now just three – danced when we discovered that DPL has a digitized collection of historic paintings. We collectively cheered when the Gonzales family provided video images of Corky in a boxing ring. And we sighed when we had difficulty tracking down the city’s own historic film about the West High Blowout.

In the end, after seven script changes and rounds and rounds of edits, the hour-long documentary premiered at the Denver Film Festival — how exciting is that? The screening sold out overnight, as did an advanced screening at History Colorado.
Even though their Year of La Chicana project had wrapped, it seemed fitting to share the film there first.
The demand prompted a third and final showing of the film on the big screen thanks to Regis University.
And what was the response? Cheers filled the halls. Audience members said the film brought them to tears. There’s incredible power in seeing the story of your people told by your people on a big screen — especially when it’s a story of such significance.
The clamor for more of these kinds of stories was loud, and we’ll be looking at taking up community members who offered to put together a small steering group to help us find additional support and funding. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, in addition to the documentary, we put together individual stories about each of the women featured in the film. You can also find them here.
In March 2019, we launched the Office of Storytelling to tell the stories of those who have been left out of the city’s official history. Since then, we’ve recorded 400 video stories, none of them as long or complicated as Chicanas.
We learned much in the process and found some amazing resources along the way, including Carlos D. Flores, the artist responsible for the incredibly beautiful Chicanas title image; the maps of ink drawn on parchment and water colored, then set into motion one to another; as well as the treatment of individual portraits of each of our amazing Chicanas; and the closing credits. The original photo portraits were made by photographer extraordinaire John Sunderland, with the exception of one, which was made by Storyteller and Producer Emily Maxwell, whom I’ll get to shortly. John also tracked down literally dozens of photos for us in The Denver Post archive. Finally for the extended team, José Guzmán created the dynamic intro and polished the film’s sound and images until they shined. To each of you, a tremendous thank you.
The film includes a long list of credits because so many others contributed their time, energy and archives to helping us cobble together this history. To each of them, our heartfelt gratitude.
To the small but mighty Storytelling Team without whom this film would not exist: Roxana A. Soto, Emily Maxwell and now “emeritus” Amanda Zitzman. Your hard work and dedication are a marvel. I am grateful to work shoulder to shoulder with you each day. I’m positive I drove them all crazy with my changes and additions. I Am Denver, but I am also Chicana, and this story is mine, too. I couldn’t be more proud to share it with you.

So, what does it mean to be a Chicana in Denver? We interviewed Latino Cultural Arts Center founder Adrianna Abarca, former SBA Director Patricia Barela Rivera, healthcare activist Charlene Barrientos Ortiz, activist Nita Gonzales, State Senator Lucia Guzman, former City Council President Ramona Martinez, performer and activist Yolanda Ortega and Denver’s godmother of Montessori Martha Urioste to discuss what it is to be a woman born in this country, with strong Mexican and Indigenous roots and a life dedicated to social justice.

Thanks for joining me for another Nine Favorite Things post.

Nine Favorite Things |

(I made my 6 ingredient tomato soup!)

Welcome back to yet another summer Sunday favorites post. We may only have a few weeks of summer left before fall sets in, but I’m soaking up these remaining dog days of summer. Well, at least that’s what I’m trying to do. It’s been challenging to keep my head above water later. Especially with the release of HBH Super Simple this October. But slowly and surely I am learning something new every day…I’m trying my hardest to work “smarter, not harder”.

Have you guys heard that one before?

I’ve listened to some of the people who I look up to most in the business world give this advice. I know it’s something I need to work to strive for every single day. Sometimes I do things the hard way, the long way, and the not smart way. Right now my biggest focus is learning to work smarter and not harder. This means hiring help, trying to build out an incredible HBH team, planning ahead, not being such a perfectionist all the dang time, not stressing out over the little things, not overthinking every single move I make, and just pushing forward. Let me tell you, it’s HARD. But when I start second-guessing myself, or working on a task that is not worth my time, or just plain being way too much of a perfectionist, I stop and say, work smarter, not harder.

Seems like such a simple thing to do, right? I’ve found it to be super helpful just to pause and reevaluate what I’m doing in the moment. It helps to redirect my thoughts and in-turn work smarter! No real reason in sharing this other than it’s what I’m currently thinking and working on!

If you guys have any tips for me, let me know. I truly love hearing your thoughts and ideas!

In other news, this week was all over the place. New recipes are coming, fall planning is in full force, and I’ve been working on bonus material and events for the cookbook’s release. I’m so excited for the months ahead!!

Coming up this week on HBH, we’ll be sharing a new instant pot recipe that’s great for summer, but even better for the busy fall nights ahead. We’ve got something sweet and cheesy switching things up on Tuesday. A new go-to skillet salmon that takes minutes to make. A delicious one-pot meal that’s perfect for using up the summer corn. And we’ll be ending the week on a very sweet and buttery note. I couldn’t be more excited to share!

Lastly, if you missed anything from the past week, be sure to sign up for our newsletter here. Hope you’re all having the best weekend, soaking up the end of summer sunshine. And of course, enjoying this Sunday’s Nine Favorite Things!

1. Inspiring Me on Pinterest.

(photos via pinterest)

Question: what inspired you this week?

2. Catching up on Instagram…and Other Things.

I know so many of you who read HBH daily also follow along on Instagram, but I wanted to do a quick update on everything I’ve been sharing on IG. Instagram has really become the space where I am able to easily share new recipes, how-to videos, behind the scenes actions, and so much more! I LOVE interacting and talking with you all through comments and DM’s. I know I say this often, but it’s my FAVORITE.

So, Instagram stories. I have been sharing so much on my stories lately. A few recipe highlights include…

The ever so popular blueberry basque cheese, which I have now made sooo many times. It’s just so easy and a real show-stopper!

I made the jammy cherry tomato pasta with crispy rosemary lemon chickpeas and gave you all my secrets for getting EXTRA crisp chickpeas.

I baked up this easy, healthy…ish sneaky zucchini chocolate chunk coconut bread. It’s a favorite, and certainly, a great way to rid yourself of any extra zucchini you may have.

And finally, my heirloom tomato cheddar tart with everything spice. I make this every year. Obsessed with this recipe.

Make sure you are following along on stories. Most of the recipes I’ve been sharing, I also make step-by-step on my Stories. I made the healthy coconut tart this past Friday, and also my favorite tomato soup. It’s so much fun to cook with you guys and I love that IG stories easily allows me to do so.

Other recent stories have included videos and photos like the ones below…

Also! Many of you had been asking about a way to save your favorite HBH recipes and we now have that feature available. You may have noticed, but at the bottom every recipe there is a “save to recipe box” button. Just click this button twice and you’ll be able to save all your favorite HBH recipes in one place. It’s so easy to use and super convenient for accessing your most loved HBH recipes. Please let us know what you think! We want to make sure HBH is working amazingly for YOU guys.

Other Things…

Thing one…very excited to share that Food and Wine has included Half Baked Harvest Super Simple on their list of 18 Essential New Cookbooks for Fall 2019. YEAH! So honored to be on this incredible list and cannot wait to share HBH Super Simple with you all this October. If you haven’t ordered yet, you can pre-order your copy now on Amazon! We have lots of fun stuff coming your way this fall!

Thing two…In addition to Instagram stories, we have also been releasing new HBH Presents videos on IGTV every week. This past week my video with Lauren and Hannah from The Little Market went live. I think this might be my favorite video yet. So much fun cooking with these two! Make sure you grab the recipe for the Paloma Mocktail over on Lauren and watch the full video below or on IGTV!

Question: We are planning more HBH Presents videos for the fall, what would you like to see more of with these videos? Any special guests you would love to see me cook with? Any recipes you’re dying to watch me create? Please let me know!

PS. If you want to catch up on all the IGTV videos, you can watch them all right here.

3. Early Fall Decor and Kitchen Finds…

Because I just can’t help but be excited for my favorite season to arrive. Here are some of the decor and kitchen finds I found at Terrian.

4. Questions of the Week:

q: #1 thing you want in your kitchen right now?
a: This is super specific, but I am dying to replace the white panel in the back of this cupboard with either vintage wood or a hand-painted wood panel. Working to think up something super pretty. Any ideas?

Fall Entertaining At The Studio with Anthropologie |

q: What was the hardest part about starting your own business?
a: It’s mine, so at the end of the day everything falls on my shoulders. It’s a lot to handle, 24/7 work, pressure, basically non-stop. I’ve had to learn a lot about “business” and am still very much trying to learn to trust myself and my decisions. The hardest part though has been building out a team. I’m so used to doing it all, so managing others is a bit over my head. Slowly but surely I am learning!

q: Have you had any bad cooking injuries?
a: 1. Almost burnt my eyebrows off last fall while making caramel. Not fun. 2. Sliced the edge of my finger off pretty good. Also not fun

q: Will you post regular versions of your Instant Pot recipes, please? I don’t have an Instant Pot.
a: Just FYI, with all the instant pot recipe I share, and any of the IP recipes in the new cookbook, I give an instant pot option, stovetop option, and most of the time, a slow cooker option too. I get that not everyone has every latest appliance, so I really try to make recipes easily adaptable for everyone!

q: What should I get first…a food processor or a KitchenAid Mixer?
a: If you love to bake, get the mixer, but if you only cook, for sure get the food processor

5. Newest Videos:

Crispy Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes…video says it all. These are the BEST.

Herbed Butter Heirloom Tomato Pizza…the end of summer pizza we all should be making

Bejeweled Mascarpone Cookies
  • 1/2 cup butter (room temp.)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Dash salt
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (room temp)
  • 1 egg
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves
  • * Icing (use my Sweet Sugar Icing recipe)
  • * Cookie bling (silver or white nonpariels, colored sugars, whatever you like!)
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Beat mixture until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Beat in mascarpone cheese, extracts, and egg. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Divide dough in half. If necessary, cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough at a time to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using 3-inch cookie cutters, cut out dough.Using hors d'oeuvre cutters (I actually used a bottle cap!), cut a small shape from the centers of half of the cookies. Place whole cookies on one cookie sheet lined with Reynold's parchment paper and lightly greased, place cutout cookies on another prepped cookie sheet (they may bake at different rates).
  3. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until edges just start to brown. Keep an eye on them as they cook very quickly! Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Spread cutout cookies with Sugar Icing and sprinkle with desired bling; let glaze set.
  4. To assemble cookies, spoon preserves into a small mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Spread the flat side of each whole cookie with about 1/2 teaspoon of the preserves. Top with a cutout cookie, flat side down. Makes about 24 sandwich cookies.
I made these cookies three times during the holidays and they were a huge hit. The photo you see was the first attempt: beautiful but painstaking! I had to pipe the icing with a pastry bag and it took ages! I switched to a simpler shape the next two times so that I could spread the icing, and it cut my time in half.

I am trying to complete the challenge of the Integrating External Data challenge, and am hitting an 'interesting' problem.  I believe I've gone through all the steps correctly, but an getting the error below:

The 'Phone__x' external object is not correctly setup with an indirect relationship to the User standard object.

When I go do External Objects/phones/edit UUID I can see the UUID field definition.  I have numerous times clicked on Change FIeld Type/Indirect Lookup Relationship/Related to User/Target Field Phone_UUID__c/Next/Save.  Each time I go though that when I get to the Target Field value the value is set to --None--.  It's acting like it forgets that I gave it a value.  That would explain the error message

Any ideas as to how I can get around this?

Electro Scan Inc. Founder, Chuck Hansen, To Present at 2018 COMSOL Conference in Boston

Electro Scan Inc., a leading provider of intelligent leak detection technologies and cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) analytics, today announced that its Founder & Chairman, Chuck Hansen, will present at the 2018 COMSOL Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, October 3-5, 2018.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180801005298/en/

Electro Scan’s patented and patent-pending low voltage conductivity technology is seen as a revolutionary technology that directly benefits municipal sewer and water pipeline owners engaged in rehabilitation and replacement programs.

Recently, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) issued its 2018 State of the Water Industry Report naming “Renewal and Replacement of Water and Wastewater Infrastructure” as the industry’s #1 priority for the fourth year in a row. Yet, the absence of technologies to reliably certify repairs as watertight can challenge the long-term sustainability and resiliency of infrastructure replacement programs.

The Company’s focused electrode leak location (FELL) technology is singularly unique in its ability to provide precise, unbiased, and unambiguous leak testing results and certification of new and rehabilitated pipes as watertight, especially after service reconnection.

Once a test is completed in the field, results are available within minutes, without requiring third-party data interpretation.

As a result, owners and contractors can immediately diagnose and prioritize repairs, which is especially advantageous to owners before accepting new pipe installations and authorizing contractor payment.

“It is a privilege to be selected by such an esteemed committee of expert COMSOL® users,” stated Hansen.

According to USEPA, each year more than 860 billion gallons of wastewater contaminate rivers and streams used for public drinking water, with 2.2 billion gallons of treated drinking water lost each year. These avoidable losses result from cracks, bad service connections, defective joints, contractor damage, poor construction, and structural failures. In many cases, leaks are unable to be located precisely, nor able to be quantified using currently-available inspection technologies.

Hansen’s paper, entitled “Using Multiphysics to Quantify Leakage Rates in New and Rehabilitated Sewer and Water Pipes”, will be presented on Thursday, October 4, following Hansen’s appearance at the 91st Annual Water Environment Federations Annual Technical Exhibition & Conference (WEFTEC) 2018 in New Orleans, Louisiana, September 29 – October 3, 2018.

The Company’s FELL technology certifies pipes as watertight, in accordance with ASTM Standard F2550 – just renewed through December 31, 2026 – replacing less accurate acoustic, visual, and closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera-based inspection devices.

Encouraged by renowned civil engineering educator Ken Kerri, Ph.D., P.E., Program Director, Office of Water Programs, California State University, Sacramento, Electro Scan’s technology reliably tests & certifies Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) installations and Spray-In-Place Pipe (SIPP) coatings.

To help prepare for field testing, Hansen selected COMSOL® Multiphysics® for quantitative analysis, replicating results at dozens of utilities in the U.S. and leading international water utilities for assessing pre- and post-rehabilitated sewer and water pipelines.

For more than 25 years, sewer & water rehabilitation contractors and suppliers have relied exclusively on visual inspection or CCTV inspection to evaluate the water tightness of existing or rehabilitated pipelines.

Since 2011, municipal sewer and water system owners have seen FELL technology consistently locate and quantify leaks in pipes that had been previously certified as watertight.

In addition to locating leaks within 3/8th of an inch (1cm), Electro Scan’s technology quantifies leakage rates for each defect in customary units of gallons per minute or liters per second.

Similar to using low voltage current in well-known holiday testing techniques for protective coatings, the Company is able to test 360-degrees of a pipe wall and along its entire length.

“We are delighted to collaborate with so many leading cities, municipal utilities and consulting engineers, adopting more stringent acceptance standards for assessing new and existing pipelines, bringing a direct cost saving to rate payers and municipal bondholders,” stated Hansen.

“Given the nearly $1 trillion needed to upgrade sewer and water infrastructure, the industry needed an independent and reliable tool to make sure pipeline owners prioritize the right pipes to be fixed, and then certified as watertight,” added Hansen.

In addition to using COMSOL® Multiphysics® to help validate its capabilities, the Company has undergone independent testing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Water Research Foundation (WRF), university testing, and customer benchmark tests compared to results from legacy inspection devices.

Validation testing was conducted on various pipe materials, sizes, lengths, depth of cover, soil types, and lining materials, including both live pipelines and exhumed pipe sections.

Since 2015, WRc plc of Swindon, England has adopted Electro Scan’s technology for its exclusive use in leak location/quantification in the UK.

A limited number of users were invited to present at the 2018 COMSOL Conference in Boston, with abstracts reviewed by a 55-person Selection Committee with representatives from 13 countries.

“Disruptive technologies, like Electro Scan, take the guesswork out of decision-making needed to ensure reliability, resiliency, and sustainability of our valuable water infrastructure,” continued Hansen.

Equipment is offered for licensing to municipal utilities and authorized contractors, with services available from Electro Scan Inc. or an authorized agent.

About Electro Scan Inc.

Headquartered in Sacramento, California, the Company markets & sells intelligent pipe diagnostic equipment, including licensing its companion SaaS-based cloud applications. In addition, the Company provides professional services to municipal clients, both directly and indirectly through authorized partners. Founded in 2011 by Chuck Hansen, an expert in the identification and rehabilitation of critical water and sewer assets, Electro Scan products & services help ensure the long-term reliability & sustainability of pipeline networks.

Panama President Mulls Crypto Bill Approval Due to Money Laundering Concerns

The president of Panama, Laurentino Cortizo, has declared he will not sign the recently approved cryptocurrency bill passed by the National Assembly of the country in its current form. Cortizo stated that one of his main concerns about the bill is the stance it takes regarding money laundering activities and crypto. Cortizo may approve some parts of the bill while vetoing others.

Panama’s President Considers Crypto Bill Veto

Laurentino Cortizo, the president of Panama, has announced his opinion regarding the recently approved cryptocurrency bill, and how it might be too lax when it comes to dealing with unlawful activities like money laundering in the sector. While speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Gateway Latin America conference in Panama City, Cortizo stated:

If I’m going to answer you right now with the information that I have, which is not enough, I will not sign that law.

Furthermore, Cortizo explained that he and his government would have to be “very careful” if the crypto bill presented has clauses dealing with money laundering activities, remarking that these are very important to Panama.

Panama allows the president to have veto power over the bills presented by the National Assembly, and Cortizo could use this attribution to repel the bill in its current form. However, Cortizo declared he and his lawyers are still reviewing the law to make a decision.

Panama’s Crypto Law

Panama started its cryptocurrency regulation journey last year, when Gabriel Silva, a national representative, introduced a crypto bill with a proposal that aimed to modernize the country and bring it up to par with other countries in the area. The bill, which faced some changes during its discussion, establishes pivotal concepts about crypto, blockchain, and virtual asset service providers.

In addition to this, the approved version of the bill introduces blockchain as a tool to improve the transparency of state spending, like other projects introduced already in Latam. This would include the progressive migration of public records to the blockchain.

Another important proposal of the bill is the digitalization of the identification process, with issued IDs being published on a public blockchain. Cortizo might take some of the articles passed and make them law, and veto other parts of the bill. To conclude, Cortizo stated:

It is an innovative law from what I have heard, it’s a good law. However, we do have a solid financial system here in Panama and one of the things I’m waiting on is when you have a global regulation of crypto-assets.

What do you think about the opinion of the president of Panama regarding the passed crypto bill? Tell us in the comments section below.

Unsupported compiler error when linking with Intel compiler

I successfully built ITK 5.1.1 static libraries with gcc 7.4, but having an issue linking them to my application, which uses an Intel compiler.

I’m getting an “Unsupported compiler” error thrown by the generated include file itk_compiler_detection.h from this conditional (starting at line 153 in my build):

# include "compilers/ITK_COMPILER_INFO_GNU_CXX.h"
# else
# error Unsupported compiler
# endif

Looking through the preceding code in that file, I’m seeing that ITK_COMPILER_IS_GNU is not set to 1 if __INTEL_COMPILER or __ICC is defined.

To confirm the source of the issue, I changed the conditional above to this:

and the “Unsupported compiler” error went away.

Since modifying a generated file isn’t a good solution, is there a bug in ITK CMake files that causes the build to generate files that don’t accommodate linking with an Intel compiler? If yes, can we resolve it?

If not, did I miss some CMake configuration setting that can be used to eliminate this issue?

Attaching my full itk_compiler_detection.h file for reference:
itk_compiler_detection.h.bak (7.8 KB)

Thanks a lot.

@hjmjohnson @phcerdan I think we already encountered this problem before, but I can’t find that discussion.

@dzenanz, I just found this thread:2 errors when trying to build Unity+MagicLeap plugin
Is that the one you’re referring to?

One suggestion in that thread is to use the same compiler for ITK and the application. At the same time, Intel compilers are supposed to be interoperable with GCC. Intel compilers define both _GNUC_ and __INTEL_COMPILER for example. Perhaps this should be accommodated in the ITK CMake logic? Meaning, the itk_compiler_detection.h should set ITK_COMPILER_IS_GNU also in addition to ITK_COMPILER_IS_Intel, if it’s an Intel compiler.

That is the simplest solution.

But I think there were some other discussions, specifically for GCC+Intel. I don’t remember whether there is a way to use that, or conclusion was to build ITK and your application using the same compiler.

How, in python, to do "Adjust the Plot Viewer's field of view to match the extent of the Plot axes"?

Operating system: windows
Slicer version: 4.11.0
Expected behavior: reset the focal of the quantitative view through Python
Actual behavior: click button

Hi all,
I know the slice views, I may use: sliceWidget(“Red”).fitSliceToBackgrond() to do the reset focal view;
I know the 3d-view, I may use: threeDView.resetFocalPoint(),

what’s the similar control function inside the quantitative view (as shown in the following image) ?

Thanks a lot, Aiden

Plot view axes can be reset to include the entire plot using plotWidget.plotView().fitToContent() (see documentation).

Thanks a lot, Andras!

How to GetIJKToRASDirections from a volume node

Dear all,

I would like to get IJKToRASDirections from a node and set IJKToRASDirections to another in python script. But I do not think I get correct one.

    dirs = [[0] * 3] * 3

The dirs I got is [[0.0, 0.0, 1.0], [0.0, 0.0, 1.0], [0.0, 0.0, 1.0]]. The value is same for the three directions.

The corresponding C++ code:

void vtkMRMLVolumeNode::CopyOrientation(vtkMRMLVolumeNode *node)
  double dirs[3][3];

  int disabledModify = this->StartModify();

Thanks for any help.

Can you explain why you think that it should not be identity?

If it’s because you put it under a transform, then it’s normal, because the volume itself still has identity directions. You can either set the same transform as parent of the other volume, or you can harden the transform, which will “burn” the matrix in the volume directions and then you can use it the way you want. However, we typically simply use the transform hierarchy and the convenience functions to get the transform between objects when necessary.

it is not identity. The returned value is:
0 0 1
0 0 1
0 0 1

In python script, I could not reproduce the result of
copied_labelmap_node.CopyOrientation(body_roi_labelmap_node) with:

disableModify = copied_labelmap_node.StartModify()
dirs = [[0] * 3] * 3

The above code is identical to the C++ code of CopyOrientation.
So the only place could be wrong is where getting GetIJKToRASDirections and SetIJKToRASDirections.

This creation of a “matrix” caused the unexpected output: a list was created that referred to the same list 3 times. Effectively, the code did this: dirs = [v,v,v].

Instead, you need to provide unique values for all the 3x3 values in the matrix. Probably the simplest is to create it as a numpy array: dirs = np.eye(3).

I think what he needs is a zero matrix in which case is dirs = np.zeros([3, 3])

Values will be overwritten anyway by calling GetIJKToRASDirections, so in this specific example, either np.zeros or np.eye works.

However, since a null-matrix is not a valid direction matrix, it is not good practice to store it in a variable called “direction”, even temporarily. np.eye creates an identity matrix, which is what you want as a default direction matrix; and its syntax is a bit simpler than np.zeros, too.

Thank you very much. This works.

Hmmm, WBT gives the boot to conservative

Could this be part of the 'Change' we're not only looking for but this Country needs?

Just caught a short report on Charlotte's local news at WCNC 36, not up on the site yet, about the firing of a Conservative Radio talk show host, one Jeff Katz.

Don't know him and never listened to him, frankly conservative radio and tv news shows give me a freakin headache, and I don't get headaches, no news just blathering opinion, which we find way too much all over the span of the mainstream outlets now, as they say "like assholes, everyones got one!".
