The session begins with a warm acknowledgment of the beautiful weather, highlighting the importance of starting on time and expressing gratitude for everyone's eagerness to participate and learn together. Vicki opens the session with a heartfelt prayer, seeking divine guidance and unity among the participants. She then shares her personal and professional journey, recounting her experience with Navigators Collegiate at Ohio State in the 1980s, which played a crucial role in her spiritual development. Vicki describes her transition from a successful career in physical therapy to full-time vocational ministry, emphasizing the fulfillment she finds in helping churches cultivate a culture of disciple-making. The session highlights the critical importance of developing a disciple-making culture within churches. Vicki reflects on themes introduced by previous speakers, such as intentionality and the significance of building core teams—groups of individuals united by a common vision, ownership, relational resilience, and endurance in their mission. Vicki shares personal anecdotes that illustrate how her family has influenced her ministry work, including the academic and professional pursuits of her daughters. She discusses her youngest daughter's experience of cultural transition after moving to Hicksville, Ohio, using this story to illustrate how different community values shape behaviors. This serves as a parallel to how intentional disciple-making can transform church cultures. To guide attendees in fostering intentional disciple-making, Vicki outlines a three-step model: "go to," "come to," and "do good." She emphasizes the importance of actively engaging with the community by building genuine relationships, participating in local organizations, and performing acts of kindness without expecting anything in return. The ultimate goal is to embody Christ-like love, creating a welcoming environment that naturally leads to spiritual conversations and discipleship opportunities. Throughout the session, Vicki supports her points with scriptural foundations, citing passages from Colossians that highlight how early Christians formed supportive communities. These biblical examples provide a blueprint for modern churches to collaborate and extend their impact beyond individual congregations. Vicki reinforces her message with practical examples from her work in Fort Wayne, discussing how local networks like "Love Fort Wayne" unite diverse church communities for coordinated efforts in prayer, service, and outreach. By building networks based on shared purposes and collaborative approaches, churches can mobilize resources and personnel more effectively, enhancing their collective impact. Her strategy for initiating these networks revolves around leveraging existing relationships. Vicki explains how she reaches out to key individuals within her church who are passionate about disciple-making, gradually expanding her network through personal referrals. This organic growth fosters a sense of mutual support and shared mission, enriching the church's disciple-making efforts. The session also includes interactive elements, inviting participants to discuss their motivations for disciple-making, their reactions to the session, and the potential benefits of networking with other churches. This engaging approach encourages community-building among attendees and prompts them to consider actionable steps they can take in their own contexts. In closing, Vicki encourages participants to reflect on their local areas, identifying specific communities they wish to reach and potential allies who can support their disciple-making initiatives. She concludes with a powerful call to action, urging attendees to take concrete steps based on what they've learned and reflected upon during the session. Overall, this episode provides a rich exploration of how intentional disciple-making cultures can transform churches, emphasizing the need for genuine community engagement and the importance of building supportive networks.

Jenny confronts her stepfather then we take a long honeymoon!by Sénor Longo. Listen to the  ► Podcast at Connected.After lunch we walked together along the waterfront, watching the ferry to Bridgeport dock, disgorge its cargo of cars and trucks then fill its decks with those waiting to cross the Sound. The ferry was a great alternative to driving into and through New York City before heading north. I had always used the ferry when going to Boston or Cambridge, saving two or more hours and a boatload of hassle every time.Mom gave us a ride back to the station at 3:40 for the 4:06 train back to Penn Station. I was pleased to see Mom and Jenny hug before we climbed the ladder onto the train. We waved to Mom as the train pulled out.“Did Mom say something to you while you were hugging?”“Yes, she gave me some advice.”“Oh?”“Yes, she told me you were nothing like your father. I already knew that. I can't see you ever cheating and I know I would never cheat on you so I guess we're stuck with each other, forever.”I leaned in for a kiss that lasted longer than it should considering where we were then I whispered in Jenny's ear, “I certainly hope so.” Jenny didn't have to answer. Her eyes said all I needed to know.We had just changed trains in Huntington when I mentioned to Jenny that I thought we should get her a car. She seemed to think about it for a minute then chimed in, “Okay, but not a Honda. Your car is okay, better than okay, but after spending so many years barely getting by I'd like to splurge, get something a little extravagant. Is that okay?”“Of course; we can go out and look as soon as we're back home.” Jenny kissed me then whispered in my ear and I knew I was the luckiest man on the planet. She planned to prove it as soon as we were in our room.I stopped at reception to ask if they had a doctor on staff. Luckily, they did and I asked for an appointment tomorrow morning. I received a phone call fifteen minutes later telling me that Dr. St. Claire would come to my room at 11:30 tomorrow morning and that he wanted to know what the problem was so he could be prepared. “Tell him my arm is in a sling because of a knife wound I received last Saturday night. I want to make sure there's no infection and have the bandages changed.” I was assured that he would receive the message.Jenny had a smile on her face as she led me to the bedroom. She had just removed my shoes and socks when my cell rang. I looked at the screen and wondered, who the hell is Frank Garcia? I answered thinking it might be the doctor. I hadn't been paying much attention to his name. My caller was a detective for the NYPD who wanted to meet with me tomorrow morning, saying he had news regarding my assault and battery case. I suggested he meet us at reception at 8:30 and we'd treat him to breakfast. He nixed the breakfast, but did say he'd accept a cup of coffee. I had just ended the call in time. I could see that Jenny was getting impatient.“You were right, Doug; it was a long day. I enjoyed being with your mother, but the ride back was really boring.”“The Long Island Railroad is strictly a commuter line. There are people who do that very trip five days a week; the price of living in that area, I guess.”“Where did you live when you were working?”“Closer in, much closer in; I lived and worked in Hicksville which is on another line. There are three; North, Central, and South.”“Interesting, but not now; I have my mind on something else.” She almost tore the clothes from my body and a minute later hers followed. “Now, don't forget who's doing the doing.” I just laughed as she gently lowered me to the bed. I lay in the center of the big king bed with my right arm out to the side, exactly as instructed while Jenny showed me just how much she loved me. She rubbed her swimsuit model's body over mine, her nipples moving into my mouth and hand as we kissed and kissed and groped each other unashamedly.I had two fingers in her, my thumb on her hard swollen clit as she stroked me furiously. There was a time in the not so distant past when that was my only means of relief. A lot had changed since Jenny had come into my life. I'd hoped to marry, but never imagined it would be to a goddess like Jenny. It was all I could do to resist pulling her onto my rod, that's how hot I was for her. She must have been clairvoyant because just seconds later she moved up onto my body and rubbed me into her dripping slit. I had closed my eyes, but heard her moan as she slid down until our bodies met.I couldn't help myself; I began to move with her, driving my cock as deeply into her as humanly possible. Jenny was right; it was a very long day and my arm didn't make it any easier. It felt as though I was being stabbed over and over as the day progressed. However, what I was feeling now with my wonderful wife was worth everything I had endured.Let's face it; there are only so many variations for sex. Sure there're oral and anal, although I didn't find the thought of that terribly appealing, and there's genital sex. I'd had plenty of manual sex over the twenty-plus years before meeting Jenny. In spite of the obvious limitations, sex with Jenny was never dull. She had such energy and so much love to share that I was never bored. Tonight was as exciting as ever even though I was exhausted. The pain in my arm had given me a miserable night's sleep. I'd slept through the night, but Jenny had told me I was tossing and turning the entire time.Jenny tried something new on me tonight, flexing her vaginal muscles and squeezing my cock like never before. “Oh God!” I was practically screaming as I came and came again until Jenny covered my mouth with hers. She covered my face with kisses once I had settled down. I could barely speak, but somehow I managed to croak, “You didn't.”“That's not important. You'll get me tomorrow. I know how tired you are. Why don't we get room service? That's something I always wanted to do.”“What about Lady? She has to eat and we have to put her out.”“I can do both. I know it's dark, but I won't go into the park and I'll have Lady with me.” I thought about it for a minute before struggling to get out of bed. “I'll come with you then a quick shower and we can call down for food. How does that sound?” Jenny gave me a sour look, but helped me to get up and dress. I fed Lady and ten minutes later we stood together in the park. Several young toughs walked nearby, but continued past us when Lady growled. One group even recognized Lady from the TV news as they shouted, “Nice going, man,” and other congratulatory remarks. All the same I was pleased when we were safely inside the Plaza's lobby.We ordered steaks, probably the best choice for room service, baked potatoes, and a pitcher of iced tea. It was served on our coffee table as I signed the bill, but gave the server his tip in cash. Jenny and I ate quietly, but a few minutes later she asked, “What do you think the police want?”“Not sure, but I don't think they want to arrest me. If they did the detective wouldn't have phoned. He would have been here waiting for me. He said he has some info on the case so I guess we'll find out in the morning.” Room service sounds romantic, but the food is often cold by the time it's delivered. Tonight it was okay, but it was better than going out. We ate, showered together as we did every night, and climbed into bed, Jenny, as always, on my left side with her head on my chest. I lay back on the pillow and was gone in seconds.CHAPTER 12.There were two men in cheap suits standing in front of reception as we walked up. “Detective Garcia,” I asked.“Dr. Preston, good of you to see us. This is my partner, Tim Rooney.” I shook hands lefty and introduced Jenny. We walked together into the Plaza's food court where we were seated in a booth. Jenny and I ordered breakfast and they ordered coffee even though I invited them to join us.“At these prices I'd be broke in less than a week. What kind of work do you do, Dr. Preston?”“Actually, Det. Rooney; I'm officially retired although I did get an assignment to write a short program last week. That's what I do; write computer programs. I wrote all the programs in the ‘Idiot' series.”“Those are really good. I used one to learn Spanish.”“Yeah, but you still speak with an Irish accent. I can barely understand you.”“What would you know? You were born in Brooklyn; talk about an accent!”Jenny and I laughed. “I suspect life with you two is never dull.”“We have to make jokes when we can,” Det. Garcia explained. “Sometimes our work can be really morbid. Why don't we get to business?” He stopped for a moment to stir some real cream into his coffee. “Mmmm, that's good. Okay, we got the report from the vet on your dog. I'm sure you know it came back clean. We learned that your assailant was high on meth; methamphetamine. He's still in Bellevue in the prison ward and his arm is a mess. The doctors put several screws in it, but they still think he'll have trouble for the rest of his life. Of course, the whole thing was entirely his fault so I doubt that any of us have even a tiny bit of sympathy.“We've spoken to the DA in charge of the case and he'll go to the Grand Jury next week. There's no reason for you to attend or testify, but I can tell you that he's going for attempted murder in addition to assault with a deadly weapon. There'll be some other charges thrown in; there always are. I have your cell number so I can contact you, if necessary.”“Do you think I'll have to testify? And Jenny?”“It's hard to say. It might go to a plea bargain because he has no criminal record. This guy had a great job on Wall Street so he has plenty of money; maybe too much. I assume your suit was ruined. Any idea how much it cost? We'll ask the judge for you to be compensated for your loss.”“Actually, I do know. I had just bought that suit from a tailor in Hong Kong. It cost me $3,000 and the shirt was $250, both of them custom made for me. I'm more concerned with Jenny's dress. She tried to stop the bleeding and it was covered with blood. I gave it to the hotel for cleaning so I expect to get it back today. It was brand new, just bought that day. Do you remember what you paid, Jen?”“Yes, just over $2,000 with tax, unfortunately. I loved that dress.”“Well, if it's ruined we can see about getting a replacement. We can go to the store and ask them to order one just like it.” Jenny responded by leaning over to kiss my cheek. The detectives left a few minutes later, but not before Det. Rooney said, “I wouldn't mind getting a dog like this for my family. Mind telling me what you paid for her.”“I think a shelter pet is more in your future. Lady cost me $65,000.”Garcia laughed like hell as he slid out of the booth. “Tim, get a goldfish and I'll spring for a bowl.”They shook hands with me and left, still laughing.“They seem like good guys, Doug.”“Yeah, they probably are, but I don't envy them their jobs. They see the worst of humanity every single day. We had a neighbor who was a cop when I was growing up. His wife couldn't stand the uncertainty of his going to work and never knowing for sure if he was coming home alive or in a box. She left him and took his three kids. A few months later he took his own life. I can still remember the sound of the shotgun in the middle of the night.” Jenny's eyes showed the shock she was experiencing.We finished breakfast and returned to the suite just in time to see the bellman walking down the hall with her dress. Jenny took it out of the plastic bag, but even I could see that they were unable to remove the bloodstain completely. Jenny was almost in tears when I asked her for the receipt. A minute later I was on the phone with the store. I explained what had happened and, like everyone else in the city, the manager had seen the report on the news. She said she would have to contact the supplier, but would get back to me as soon as possible, probably sometime this afternoon.After ending the call I sat in the easy chair and gazed out the window. “What would you like to do this afternoon? I think we should do some sightseeing. Most of the people who live here have never been to the top of the Empire State Building or taken a cruise around Manhattan. There's also the American Museum of Natural History only a few blocks away or the Central Park Zoo. It's one of the world's best.”“Let's wait until the doctor has examined you. I'm not taking any chances with your health.” And then in what I was sure was her sternest voice, “And neither are you. I'm planning on growing very old with you, having lots of kids and even more grandkids. We'll have other opportunities to sightsee.” Then to show me how serious she was she leaned down to kiss me.It was almost eleven when the maid knocked. Jenny answered the door and the maid said she would return later. “No, come in, please; just take care of the bedroom and bathroom today.” I rose and gave her a ten dollar tip. This was a big suite and I always tipped the maid every day. I didn't think that ten bucks was too much when the suite was running me $5,000 a night.Jenny and I relaxed as we waited for the doctor to arrive. Fortunately, he was a few minutes early. He handed Jenny a card that gave his name as Henri St. Claire, M.D., Internal Medicine, with a Park Avenue address. He explained that he was technically retired, but kept his hand in by working when needed for the hotel. Taking note of my sling he asked me to remove it so he could examine the wound.“Ah, I see the doctor inserted a drain,” he said once he had peeled the bandage away from my skin. “That was an excellent idea. These days these kids who think they're practicing medicine don't take the time or effort to do things right. It will take only a few minutes to remove it.” Digging into his bag he removed several paper towels and dropped a long thin flexible tube that he pulled from the wound into them, dropping the mess into a waste basket. Then, using his nose, he sniffed all around the stitches before nodding with satisfaction.“Had there been an infection there would be an odor of mortification, of the decaying pus created by the body fighting off the bacteria. That's the biggest concern with a knife wound. I'll bandage it again for you and all you'll have to do is see your own physician in another week to remove the stitches. Do you need any additional pain medication?”“No, I still have some and I prefer not to use them. They make me woozy and I can't stand it. What about this sling? Do I have to use it?”“I think you might wear it for another few days until you get home again. The city is crowded and you could be jostled.” I was dejected by that, but Jenny was elated. She was going to take care of me even if it killed me. Dr. St. Claire was with me about twenty minutes and left, telling me that his charges of $250 would be added to my hotel bill. I thanked him as he strode out the door.“See; I told you to wear that sling.”“I give up; you win.” I was a bit dejected until Jenny carefully replaced my arm into the sling then wrapped her hands around my head and kissed me deeply. The kiss went on and on until she broke it, asking if we could still make it to the zoo. I got my backpack from the closet and put Lady's bowl into it even though I knew there were places for dogs to drink where we were going.It was still morning so I suggested we go up to the Bronx. “We have plenty of time so why don't we go to the Bronx Zoo. It's bigger and; I think; better than the one in Central Park.” Jenny agreed, saying that she would defer to me since I had much more experience here than she did.Once out on the street we crossed over Central Park South so Lady could take care of business then we walked a few blocks east until we reached the subway station for the 5 train. Using my credit card I bought a Metro Card with six trips on it, paying for Lady even though I knew she would be entitled to a free passage. The trip north took less than thirty minutes. We walked up onto East Tremont Avenue very close to the Asia Gate of the Bronx Zoo. I knew this area well; it was where my father had often brought me years ago before I learned that he was a serial cheater.Jenny and I had a ball. She loved the zoo and many of the children asked if they could pet Lady. The highlight of the day came when we accidentally stumbled onto feeding time for the tigers. The trainer dropped a huge slab of what I assumed was horsemeat into an empty cage. It was on the left of three in a row. He lifted and dropped a door that led outside from the center cage. About three minutes later a tiger; a BIG tiger walked in and turned toward the meat. Once he was in a door we hadn't noticed before dropped between the two cages, sealing that one away. Next the trainer dropped another slab into the cage on the far right. The door outside dropped a few more times and an even bigger tiger walked in, moving immediately toward the meat. Soon that cage was isolated, leaving only the center cage empty. The process was repeated, but everyone present gasped when this tiger walked through the door. It looked to be twice the size of the first.“Excuse me, sir,” I asked as I approached him while we exited. “Do you know how much that tiger weighs? I don't think I've ever seen a cat that big before.”“You're probably right. He's the biggest one I've ever seen, too. He was weighed a few months ago, 619 pounds. Did you know that the tiger is the largest cat, followed by the lion and the jaguar third? They're all capable of being man eaters, but the tiger is the worst, by far.” Jenny and I thanked him and went on our way, eager to see what was next in line down the path.We finished around five and left through the same Asia Gate to the subway. Jenny was confused when we walked onto the platform for the number 2 train. “Doug, didn't we take the 5 train this morning?”“Yeah, we did, but this one will bring us closer to our restaurant. We're going to the Carnegie Deli for dinner. I think you'll like it.” Walking up to the street level at 59th West meant that we were about four blocks from the deli. Blocks in Manhattan were about three times as long going east and west as they were going north and south. Even at this hour with the sidewalks crowded with workers on their way home, the trip only took us twenty minutes.We were given a table by the window. I ordered without even looking at the menu. “We'll split a Zorba and a hot pastrami sandwich, two cream sodas, and can we get some water for my dog?”The waitress had just left when Jenny whispered, “Doug, splitting a salad and a sandwich? Are you sure?”I leaned across the table to kiss her. “Trust me. You'll have more than enough to eat and we'll definitely want to save room for dessert.” I had just placed Lady's bowl on the floor by the edge of the table when the waitress returned with two tall glasses filled with ice and the light amber cream soda along with two with water that she told me were at room temperature. Those she poured into Lady's bowl. Lady looked to Jenny for permission to drink, receiving it just as the waitress returned with a huge Greek salad and two bowls.I made an attempt to toss the salad and spooned a healthy portion into Jenny's bowl. There was still some left over when I had filled mine. We had just finished when our sandwich appeared. “Thought I'd better bring another plate for you. Good luck,” she said with a chuckle. Jenny looked at the sandwich with her mouth open. It was easily eight inches tall with lean pastrami piled high between two thin slices of rye bread.Using two hands I removed one half and passed the other to Je

The Lost Shawangunk Silver Mine is found at the upper part of Sullivan County in the Catskill Mountains between Lake Mongaup and Hodge Pond. Almost a mile east of Shokan Village in County 28, Ulster County, a bootleger from New York is reported to have hidden two and a half million dollars worth of paper currency in several iron boxes during the Prohibition days, somewhere on a deserted farm at the upper part of Ashokan Reservoir. He was caught, but the FBI and other law enforcement agencies failed to find his loot. Also located someplace in this area is the Lost Truman Hurd Gold Mine. Another cache of valuables known as the Tongorara Treasure is presumed to be hidden between Kingston City at U.S. 87 and the lower edge of this reservoir. It consists of gold and silver coins valued at over one million dollars. Accord's tiny village at State 209, Ulster County, is where Rufe Evans, a miner, buried a hoard of silver ore and bullion somewhere within or nearby the hamlet. At the time of the Revolution, a band of Tory raiders stashed a sizeable amount of plunder outside Summitville, State 209, Sullivan County, in a cave somewhere in the Shawangunk Mountains. Tracy Maxwell, a farmer who died in 1948 and lived two miles west of Surprise on County 81, Greene County, stated in his will that he hid paper currency and a stockpile of family jewelry worth around $135,000 somewhere in or around his barn. His family had spent more than $20,000 trying to find his treasure, but they have been unsuccessful. Eighteenth-century river pirates are believed to have buried many caches of treasure within and around the vicinity of West Point Military Academy during the Revolution. The Tories, who were forced to flee Peeksill for their lives during the Revolution, buried numerous treasures somewhere in the region. Researching where the Tories lived by examining old property records might reveal where they hid their valued possessions. The Hudson River's narrowest place is a spot called Kidd's Point. It is alleged that the renowned criminal buried a hoard of treasure in this area, making it famous as an expedition site frequented by treasure hunters over the years. A few miles south of Peekskill, located on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River at Stony Point, is a cave where another cache of pirate treasure is allegedly hidden. A place called Money Hill, located a few miles south of Croton-on-the-Hudson, is said to be the spot where a great treasure whose origin is unknown is rumored to have been buried. Some caches holding silver and gold coins amounting to $750,000 were hidden in Hicksville, County 135, on Long Island by an affluent misanthrope somewhere on his estate. A bulldozer operator discovered one of the caches holding $89,000 of old coins in 1960. A pirate named Joe Brandish is believed to have hidden some treasure chests on the northeastern tip of Long Island on Orient Point, sometime in the late eighteenth century. Gardiner's Island, located in Block Island Sound, is the most famous place where Captain William Kidd buried his treasure and the most likely to be so indeed. It is a fact that he and other pirates used the island as their headquarters. Kidd stayed there immediately after seizing a valuable prize at sea, just before his capture and execution by hanging. Kidd Valley, a site on this island, has rocks imprinted with many symbols some have taken to be clues that, if deciphered and understood, would reveal the exact location of Kidd's treasure. Fisher's Island, situated close north of Gardiner's Island, is reputed to have been often used by pirates. It is believed that some have hidden their treasures here. The coins and other precious trinkets found on the island are thought to have washed aground from shipwrecks. The pirate Charles Gibbs is said to have buried a tremendous amount of treasure somewhere in Southampton Beach, County 27, Long Island, sometime in the early years of 1800.

Rev. John Hopkins, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Hicksville, NY joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study and pray Psalm 25. “Remember when…” we will say while with old friends. David realizes his sin and asks the LORD not to remember his sins—which we all hope, but also to remember that He is mercy. This Psalm is a prayer of a faithful person who not only seeks forgiveness, but for the LORD to lead, teach, guard, and give them refuge. Our pleas for forgiveness are not only for us as individuals, but also for others. “Christ be my Leader by night as by day; Safe through the darkness, for He is the way. Gladly I follow, my future His care, Darkness is daylight when Jesus is there" (Lutheran Service Book 861, "Christ Be My Leader").

The immortal Coach and Hicksville's Dober. The Great Hole In The Boxers debate... we are dumbfounded. Breaking out a controversial tier graphic. The Michigan rivalry. Miami VS Pitt.

On December 7, 1993 passengers aboard a commuter train bound for Hicksville, NY found themselves trapped in a nightmare when a 35 year old man stood up and began firing on them in a cold, detached manner, muttering "I'm going to get you," as he went about his slaughter. When it was over, six people were dead and another nineteen lay wounded. The shooter, Colin Ferguson, had been restrained by survivors and was eventually indicted on 93 counts by a grand jury. As the weeks from that fateful day stretched into years, New York found itself in one of the most bizarre cases in its long history, and the East Coast watched in horrified fascination as the the accused attempted to represent himself while spinning tales of government orchestrated racism, brain implants, and murder plots involving the Jewish Defense League.      Follow me on social media https://linktr.ee/AuthorTotten Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Deathcast-102690125566672 Twitter @CorpseCreek Find my books @ https://tinyurl.com/Totten-Books The Deathcast is a Production of Corpse Creek Publishing Visit the official website: https://www.corpsecreekpublishing.com #truecrime #MassMurder #NewYork #LongIsland #Shooting #Murder #TheDeathcast #truecrimeaddict #truecrimefiend #Truecrimepodcast  #LIRR #ColinFerguson

If you woke up tomorrow morning and had transformed, what would you be? Well, Carter and Christopher Pickles had one heck of a time this week. The two buddies were all about the questions this week and chatted like there was no tomorrow. We're surprised that no one said butter. Also, what landmark do we want to rename -- the show is just silly and great this week.

Today I'm speaking with my friend Victor, owner of The Cook's Studio in Hicksville, NY. Victor is a chef who loves teaching people how to cook. From mozzarella making to sushi to paella, there are classes for everyone. You won't want to miss out on these unique interactive cooking classes located inside the only winery in Nassau County at wineUdesign. Watch the Video Interview: https://bigfoodtalk.com/cooks-studio-hicksville-ny About Chef Victor McNulty Victor has been a chef for the past 30 years and a chef instructor for the past 15 years. Turns out Julia Child was his first true chef inspiration watching her as a child on TV. He loved being in restaurants since his first summer job at the age of 13 washing dishes at the South Hampton Inn. After a number of summer and weekend jobs Victor attended NYU for restaurant and hotel management and realized he hated school but still loved working in restaurants. The quicker path to ownership was going to be back of the house and Victor then decided to transfer to the French Culinary Institute. Having worked in many restaurants around the United States and after owning his own restaurant he wanted to settle down and spend time with his family. Victor landed a job at the Culinary Academy of Long Island where he truly discovered his love of teaching and stuck with them until their unfortunate closure. A Cooking School Inside a Winery He always wanted to open a cooking school and had been looking at Main St in Huntington originally until he connected with his good friend Vincenzo who owns wineUdesign in Hicksville. Both are members of the Long Island Food Council. Originally Victor wasn't sure about the idea of running a cooking school inside a warehouse but fast forward a few years and turning industrial warehouse space into a hot spot has become a trend. If you register for one of their many cooking classes you'll be surrounded by barrels and wine making equipment. It creates quite the ambiance as you and your date, your friends and family or colleagues learn to make your favorite dishes. Bonus! Wine tasting is included with your cooking class. Food Brings People Together In this episode of the Big Food Talk, we discuss so many topics from wine pairing to food culture and beyond.

With blonde locks and heavy eye shadow, she brings a decidily New Yorker perspective on spiritualism. While derided by some as taking advantage of mourning people on television for money, many trust her experiences and insights into the world of spiritualism. Theresa Caputo uses new forms of reaching out to her spirits' families, including email and television. Still young, she's already submitted a legacy as one of the most controversial and visible mediums in the world. Currently the star of one television series on TLC, “The Long Island Medium”, she also performs her work in theaters throughout major cities.

For this episode of The Comics Alternative Interviews, Derek and Andy W. are pleased to have as their guest the man behind Hicksville, Dylan Horrocks. His new book, Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen, has recently been released by Fantagraphics, and on the show the guys talk with Dylan about his experiences writing the book and the philosophy underlying its creation. They begin by discussing its initial black-and-white serialization in Atlas (which lasted for only three issues between 2001 and 2006), and then was slowly released in color as an online comic beginning in early 2009. Indeed, as of the time of this interview, Dylan is still publishing the final pages of Sam Zabel on his website, so that the entire story will eventually be available digitally. However, readers will want to get the new hardbound copy in order to experience a full story immersion with its larger size format and its richness of color. The guys also ask Dylan about the narrative links between the new book and his other stories, most notably Hicksville, as well as any possible autobiographic significance in the character Sam. This leads to an in-depth discussion on the function of comics, the dynamics between fiction and autobiographic representation, and the moral implications of fantasy and self-censorship. In fact, Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen is predicated on these dynamics, with its characters posing multiple positions or viewpoints that are never truly resolved. Instead of being a polemic or a didactic on the ethical responsibilities of the artist -- as some readers have interpreted it -- Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen is more an exercise in romantic irony, proposing conflicting and at times contradictory arguments that refuse any easy resolution, and instead, resides in an uneasy state of productive indeterminacy. In other words, the book's resonance rests more in the questions it raises than in any possible answers. Andy and Derek also talk with Dylan about the publishing history of Pickle, his work for DC -- specifically, his writing on Batgirl -- the Vertigo series Hunter: The Age of Magic, and, of course, his efforts championing New Zealand comics and underscoring its rich history. Much of the conversation revolved around the New Zealand comics scene, past and present, with Dylan demonstrating himself to be one of its most ardent enthusiasts. (Indeed, you can find his directory of New Zealand cartoonists and comics creators on his website.) Even though this was a substantive interview, Derek and Andy didn't get around to asking many of the questions that they had wanted to pose -- e.g., Will you ever return to the unfinished "Atlas" storyline?, Will "Cafe Underground" ever be collected?, and When can we expect to see more Moxie and Toxie? -- but what they came away with was a truly engaging conversation with one of the most exciting, and one of the most underrated, creators in comics today.
