the SCENE

By DUNCAN ST. THIBAULT

Gay-braham Lincoln?

he slew of recent movies celebrating the life and times of Abraham Lincoln is churning up old rumors that our 16th President may have been a “fancy boy.” Gay screenwriter Tony Kushner—who penned the new Spielberg-directed film “Lincoln,” starring Daniel Day Lewis as Honest Abe—is no stranger to cinema biography that walks on the wild side (“Angels in America”), but he doesn’t tackle the ‘violet side’ of the Great Emancipator in the big budget epic which premiered this month. Was the “Rail-splitter” splitting anything else in pre-Civil War America? His close friendships with men are well-chronicled. After he moved to Springfield, Illinois in 1837, the 28-year-old Lincoln (who must have been RIPPED: he used an ax to split railway ties, for goodness sake) shared a bed with his close friend Joshua Speed (who was five years younger than Abe, the hussy). When he was a teenager, Lincoln scribbled this poem, which screamed of gay marriage: “I will tell you a Joke about Jewel and Mary, It is neither a Joke nor a Story. For Rubin and Charles has married two girls. But Billy has married a boy. The girls he had tried on every side. But none he could get to agree; All was in vain, he went home again, And since that he’s married to Natty [a playful way to call someone named “Nat,” or “Nathan].” Biographer Carl Sandburg referred to Lincoln’s friendship with Joshua Speed as “a streak of lavender, and spots soft as May violets.” (“Streak of lavender” was 19th Century lingo to describe a queeny man.) Another Lincoln “bedfellow” was his bodyguard, Capt. David Derickson, whose nightshirt the Prez was wearing one night when an aide knocked on his door (and noted Derickson lying fast asleep in Lincoln’s bed: Mmm-hmmmm). The bitchy wife of Lincoln’s naval adjutant noted, “Oh, there is a Bucktail soldier here devoted to the President, drives with him, and when Mrs. L is not home, sleeps with him. What stuff!” Girl.

Local Anchor Apologizes for Calling Rachel Maddow a “Man”

A local news anchor for the Cincinnati, Ohio Fox television affiliate has apologized for comments she made on Facebook last month in which she referred to MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow as an “angry young man.” Tricia Macke was the subject of intense criticism from LGBT rights groups, including the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) following her homophobia-tinged remarks. At first Macke fought back at the heat. “You are right. I’m sorry,” she posted with smarm. “I should’ve said ‘antagonistic.’” and “I knew what I was saying.” GLAAD called Macke’s comments “referring to Maddow as a ‘man’ because she is a gay woman” “completely unacceptable for someone in the business of journalism.” GLAAD President Herndon Graddick said that “Macke owes an apology not only to viewers, but to young people in Ohio who are subjected to unfair bullying and harassment like this on a daily basis.” After Macke took down the “angry young man” post, she issued an apology on the television station’s Facebook page: “I recently posted comments on my personal Facebook page regarding cable news anchor Rachel Maddow which were insensitive and inappropriate. I apologize to Ms. Maddow and any others who may have been offended by my comments, as they do not reflect my firm beliefs in individual and equal rights, and they certainly do not represent the opinions or position of my employer WXIXTV.” No worries, Tricia. But does the word “bitch” mean anything to you?

Bullying Problem? to the Rescue

he national bullying epidemic knows no age boundaries, with stories of its tragic consequences reported in the halls of higher learning (as witnessed by the Rutgers’ bullying/ suicide) as well as on the playground. One man who has made a local commitment to bring the crusade against bullying to a younger segment is Norman Rea, the creator of the “Wishaphants,” a campaign that features a group of superhero elephants who combat bullying where it starts, ea R Norman at the earliest of ages. The Wishaphants campaign targets children in grades K-3, which Rea and Steven Billing, the campaign’s coordinator, say is the ideal age to curb negative behaviors. As Billing notes, providing a support system for kids who don’t have one is just the beginning. “The Wishaphants are targeting children K-3, much younger than anyone,” he explains. “We will be educating them through books, traveling musical, activity sheets.” According to Billing, “education is the key.” He notes that the national awareness of the importance of combating bullying when it first starts makes the Wishaphants campaign so appealing. He reports that in “a blind study done with an independent college,” the campaign “received 100 percent positive feedback.” The idea for the characters and their interaction with bullied kids (or “wishers,” in the lingo of the campaign) began with the headlines of the past two years. “With so many bully-related deaths and suicides, we felt something needed to be done, so we incorporated the characters into a campaign,” Billing explains. The Wishaphants are portrayed as relatable to kids who may be targets of bullying. “Even our mascot has glasses!” he says. Billing says that the consequences of bullying strike especially close to home, for both him and

guy magazine

the campaign’s creator. “We were also victims of bullying. Norman Rea was bullied on a daily basis, both mentally and physically.” Billing says that they plan to promote the Wishaphants’ anti-bullying, positive choices messages through a variety of media. “We are in the process of developing a traveling musical, mixed with animation,” he says. “We are also planning a web or TV series, as well as creating animated, non-violent video games.” But what about the elephants? “Norman and I love elephants,” Billing acknowledges with a laugh. “In 2004, we had a musical on Broadway called ‘Tusk.’ Elephants are so spiritual. They protect the young, work as a team, grieve for the death of their family, and they are just wonderful communicators. “For such a large animal they have such a gentle caring side. Since a large part of hate and other negative reactions is learned, Rea and Billing hope that the Wishaphants can serve as a counterpoint, encouraging tolerance, acceptance, and nonviolence among children in a world that very much needs it.

ook at him. That boy over there, standing by the bar. The boy with the plastic face, the too-perfect hair, the too-tan skin; the boy with “bitch” written all over his face. And, is that make-up? That twink’s a slut. I’d like to take him home. Where’s my drink? I can’t believe I have to sit here. My regular seat is taken by that ass from—ugh, I forgot where I met him. But I know him. Yep, he’s an ass. I don’t know why. He just is. Waiter coming! Cutie alert! Fat Mama Clap! HERCULES, HERCULES! Now that’s a MAN! “Can I help you?” Why, yes—yes you can. “Burger, fries, and can I get my drink?” “Sure thing.” “Thanks,” you say, you fox, you think. Look at that ass. Yum. Shit. I left my newspaper at Georgie’s. Now I’m pissed. And I’m going to find more things to gripe about to make me feel better. I mean it’s not like I can find another one. No. If I can’t have THAT ONE PAPER, the one I PICKED UP THIS MORNING, then you know what? I don’t want a newspaper. That means that I won’t be reading the newspaper that I want to read, and somehow my inflexibility makes me feel better. Oh. My. God. Look who just walked in. Tranny Talkative. Don’t look this way, don’t look this way,

guy magazine

don’t look this way, don’t look this way— “Oh, hi! Good seeing you, too.” Ugh. Vomit. “Yeah, it’s busy today. I’m waiting for my drink still.” “Can we sit with you?” Are you for shit seriously asking me that question? No, you can’t sit with me. I am having ME time, and I don’t want to be bothered, even though I’m having ME time in public, where you would think that running into people is totally expected. But I’m just going to act like a bitch. I’m gonna lie and make you wait in line. I don’t want to sit with you. I want my newspaper, bitch, and somehow you’re now implicated in my leaving it at Georgie’s. “Sorry, I’m waiting for someone. So nice to see you, though.” Where is my drink? Aw, look at that couple over there. All cute and PDA-y. They let themselves go, it seems. I think I used to see them out back in the day at Cathode. They were cute then. At least they’re still together. Well, can you blame them? I mean—when you look like that. I have boots with less leather. “Whoopa Gangnam Style.” Is that how it goes? I like that song. I wish they would play it. That table over there is really loud. All those young boys, clearly bitches—the more attractive, the skinnier, the bitchier. A law of reality, yes. I hope they get kicked out for being so loud. Ugh, I feel lonely. I wish I had more friends. I don’t understand why I don’t. Where is my drink?

“Swings” —Bigtime—into Fort Lauderdale’s Boardwalk Bar

Adult Film Legend Makes Exclusive Appearance at the Boardwalk

uch like the posteriors of his many scene partners, Fort Lauderdale will never be the same come November 21, as legendary adult entertainment star Jeff Stryker appears exclusively at The Boardwalk Bar, on North Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, Wednesday, November 21 to Saturday, November 24 (talk about something to give thanks for). Boardwalk owner and impresario Victor Zepka— whose long list of headliner adult entertainer appearances includes such hotties as Brent Everett, Lukas Ridgeston, and the Visconti Triplets, to name just a few—has “pulled it out” in a big way, bringing in Stryker, still spicy hot and giving fans his “all.” Continued on Page 32

The living legend Stryker’s tool was immortalized as the best-selling dildo of its time and was—I am not making this up—the subject of an academic analysis for higher education (Bowling Green State University Conference in Cultural Studies: “Lesbian Pornography and Transformation: Foucault, Bourdieu, and de Certeau Make Sense of the Jeff Stryker Dildo”). In addition to an ‘enormous’ catalog of delicious same-sex porn, Stryker, who calls himself sexually “universal,” also starred in

“Jamie Loves Jeff,” one of the biggest-selling straight adult movies of all time for producer Vivid Entertainment. At The Boardwalk, Stryker will appear live, signing autographs, answering questions, and hawking his exclusive Jeff Stryker merchandise. Any guesses on which “piece” is the most requested? Tickets for Jeff Stryker are on sale now at boardwalkbarxxx.com. Ain’t nothing like the real ‘thing,’ baby.

Sweet Seasonal Sides

hanksgiving Day, of course, marks the official start of the Holidays season (although Mr. Wonderful, Rain, and I had the temerity to put out our front door Christmas wreath the day after Halloween—ah well, all’s fair). Even though we live in the tropics, we can still enjoy evoking the flavors, textures, and memories of a place where the seasons change and orange isn’t a color associated with citrus. These delicious dishes will perfectly adorn any seasonal table from Turkey Day to the Feast of the Magi (Epiphany, or January 5—the actual Twelfth Day of Christmas, Santa Baby).

Almond Praline Pumpkin Pie a la Amaretto Just go ahead and say it now: I’m a fat, fatty, fatfat. Yeah, that’s it. Now enjoy, guiltlessly. Dough Ingredients: • 1 cup of all-purpose flour • 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (cut into ½-inch pieces) • ¾ cup of crumbled amaretto cookies (approximately 1 dozen cookies) • 1/8 teaspoon of salt Filling Ingredients: • 1 can (15 oz) of pure pumpkin • 1 cup of heavy cream • 2 large eggs • 2 ½ tablespoons of Amaretto (or other almond liqueur) • 2/3 cup of sugar

• ½ teaspoon of freshly-grated nutmeg • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract • ¼ teaspoon of salt Praline Ingredients: • ½ cup of sugar • ½ cup of sliced almonds • 1/8 teaspoon of salt • Vegetable oil To prepare the dough, pulse flour, cookie crumbles, and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with tiny pieces of butter. Drizzle ¼ cup of ice water into the mix and pulse until the dough starts coming together. Turn out into a 9-inch glass pie plate, and press the dough into the bottom and up the sides, approximately ¼-inch above the rim. Pierce with a fork and chill for approximately 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line crust with foil, then fill with pie weights. Bake until edges are golden, approximately 25 minutes. Remove foil and weights. Continue baking until crust is golden, about 15 more minutes. Cool completely on rack. To make the filling, whisk in a bowl pumpkin, heavy cream, eggs, nutmeg sugar, almond liqueur, vanilla, and salt. Pour mixture into the crust, and bake until edges are set (but the center still quivers), approximately 60 minutes. Cool completely on a rack. To prepare the praline, line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone mat), and brush with vegetable oil. In a small saucepan, stir sugar and one tablespoon of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, swirling (but not stirring) the pan, until it turns amber, approximately 8 minutes. Stir in salt and almonds. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it thinly. Cool completely. Chop praline and sprinkle over the pie just prior to serving. Plan for one belt-notch (and two days extra at the gym) with this one—but what a way to go. Continued on Page 38

Southern Buttermilk Cornbread My Cub Scouts den mother, Mrs. Avant, served this up lovingly every year during the Holidays (and any other weekend I could beg her to make it for me), with my favorite southern dish, chicken and dumplings. Fix you up a basket or two, and serve it next to the Thanksgiving potatoes and hot buttered green beans. Ingredients • 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter (additional for the pan) • ¾ cup of all-purpose flour • ¾ cup of yellow cornmeal • 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder • ½ teaspoon of baking soda • ½ teaspoon of kosher salt • 2 large eggs • 1 cup of buttermilk Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and butter an 8-inch-square baking pan. Melt butter in the microwave or in a small pan on the stove. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk and eggs, and then add melted butter. Add cornmeal-flour mixture and stir until combined. Pour batter into pan, and bake until cornbread begins to brown, approximately 25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and serve warm.

Holidays Studs Just as the arrival of Santa Claus at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade marks the official kick off of the Christmas—or, really X-Mas— Season, rolling out some winter-y goodies during your Thanksgiving Day festivities will herald the

approach of lots more seasonal food, fellowship, and fun to come. The red and green M&Ms that these treats are made with resemble festive and delicious colored studs to serve to your own visiting studs. Ingredients: • 1 ¼ cups of sugar • 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour • 1 cup of toasted shredded coconut • 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chunks • ½ cup of chopped cashews • 1 cup of white chocolate chips • ¾ cup of red and green M&Ms • ½ cup of Dutch-process cocoa powder • ¾ teaspoon of salt • 1 egg • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract • 1 stick of butter • 1 ½-liter glass jar Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a mixer, beat sugar and butter until fluffy, then beat in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour, chocolate chunks, chocolate chips, coconut, cocoa powder, salt, and M&Ms, and mix until all are well combined. On a baking sheet, scoop big round cookies (use about two heaping tablespoons apiece, size queen). Bake until set, approximately 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.

West Hollywood Part Deux

If Looks Could Kill

f we were forced to pick a hub of the minicity of West Hollywood, California, the vote would center on a 24-hour supermarket called Pavilions, at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Robertson Drive. As corners go, it’s rather famous, if for no other reason that it was the spot were we once ran smack dab into Ethel Merman, plugging her disco album like a street hawker. The year was 1978, and everyone was jumping on the disco bandwagon, even the First Lady of the Musical Stage. And where better to pitch a dance album? Across the street stood the Celebrities are common at legendary Studio One, the The Factory major gay disco of its time. These days, The Factory is housed in the building at 652 N LaPeer Dr., and it still provides the best dance sound in the city. Huge and packed, it is the way to sweat into the night after having bar-hopped down Santa Monica Boulevard, where the streets are alive with activity until well after 2 any morning. The venerable club Micky’s (8857 Santa Monica Blvd.) has been a popular landmark for decades, although an electrical fire in 2007 shut the place down for several years while renovations freshened the look, if not the clientele. It reopened with its sleaze factor in place, helped along with nearly naked go-go boys, who hawk $2 all-youcan-eat tacos on Tuesdays. Do not confuse Micky’s with its neighbor, Fiesta Cantina (8865 Santa Monica Blvd.), which has its own all-you-can eat Tuesdays tacos for $5, and a fantastic roof-deck for people watching, if you’re more into look but not touch. This club has a reasonably-priced menu and full bar, heavy on the tequila, with drinks on the strong side to compete with your full and very satisfied stomach. For those who start their evenings around 2 p.m., Trucks in your place. At 8809 Santa Monica

guy magazine

A typical busy night at Revolver

Blvd., the attraction here is the drink specials that run daily from 1-8 p.m., with $3.50 well drinks and $3 beers. Limited outdoor seating. One of the oldest standbys on this street of dreams is the Revolver, named after its infamous revolving front door. It started life back in the day as a dry cleaner before being transformed into a video bar of some clout, then retransformed several other times, before returning to its roots. Revolver (8851 Santa Monica Blvd.) is a retro throwback to an earlier time, taking us back and keeping us planted in the 80s and 90s. Only the boys have been updated, with a lot of handsome muscle types mixing with twinks that all conveniently rub past one another in this narrow and lovey-dovey intimate space.

Have a no-frills good time at Mother Lode

No mention of WeHo clubs would be complete without a genuflect to the Mother Lode (8944 Santa Monica Blvd.). A block removed from the main action, the “Mother” as its known is San Francisco-trashy in a good way. No attitude, no fancy décor, and a long trough in the men’s room for a urinal. If you drive a truck or like those who do, this is the place for you and your flannel shirt or wife beater. At the other end of the style spectrum is 11 Restaurant and Nightclub (8811 Santa Monica Blvd.). Housed in the old Italian Revival First National Bank of Sherman building, owner Rich Grossi has blended style with an eclectic food and drink menu. Expect a mixed crowd of lookers here, so dress up as if you belong, and you will.

In the 10-minute music video epic, the selfdescribed “ghetto Nancy Sinatra” narrates her story, in which she befriends a gang of bikers, finds comfort in the arms of strangers, and seeks out freedom, with an almost-obsessive monomania. In a moment of clarity, she quips, “When I’m at war with myself, I ride. I just ride.”

Crystal Castles: “Telepath”

Canadian electronic duo Crystal Castles has just released their third full-length self-titled album, “III.” The band is known for its moody electronic music, mixing new, old, goth, and a touch of punk. The dark and dancey cut “Telepath” stands out, effectively acting as the album’s pure dance track. Although the song doesn’t contain any of singer Alice Glass’ animalistic shouts, it packs plenty of mood.

“Christina Aguilera featuring Cee Lo Green: “Make the World Move”

“Lotus,” the newest LP from Christina Aguilera, feels like a bit of a flop for the singer, who has been undergoing something of an identity crisis for the past decade. The main focus of the album is obviously Aguilera’s voice, which is beautifully

guy magazine

showcased. The ballads work in her favor, but one song in particular caught our attention: “Make the World Move” explores a bit of Aguilera’s R&B roots, with a nice guest spot from “The Voice” co-star Cee Lo Green.

Green Day: “Stray Heart”

The tenth studio album from Green Day, “!Dos!” (part of an “¡Uno!,” “!Dos!,” “¡Tré!” trilogy) recently spawned a video for its single “Stray Heart.” Unfortunately, the band doesn’t seem to know how to make age-appropriate music anymore (they’re a 90’s punk band in their 40s, still singing about “the man”), but “Stray Heart” seems to be an exception. It’s fun and youthful, without being a (borderline) embarrassment, which—these days for Green Day—seems a huge feat.

The Weeknd: “Wicked Games”

Rising R&B star The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye), is gaining serious notoriety this month. The Ontario-born recording artist and producer has released “Trilogy,” a compilation album of remastered tracks from his previous three mixtapes. “Wicked Games” is his first proper-released single, and it’s an interesting choice. Although it is one of the slower tracks, it features some of the album’s best vocals by Tesfaye. On the chorus, he coos “Just tell me you love me/I’ll give you what I need, I’ll give you what I fiend/Even though you don’t love me.” Hey, the more you suffer, the more it shows you really care.

Turn the Tide on Your Painful Tendonitis

or many active adults, tendonitis is a painful reminder that fun-time activities and sports come at a cost. It is a fact of life that, when it comes to leisure time, we typically repeat the activities we enjoy the most. As humans, we are drawn to repetitive work as well. Unfortunately, any activity or physical motion that is continuously repeated over a period of time will eventually wear down the body from overuse. Tendonitis is the most common result, especially in the joints that are affected by this repeated activity. When overusing any joint, the tendons of the affected area become inflamed, swollen, and painful. This is the body’s way of telling us to use a bit more moderation in repetitive motion. If this warning isn’t properly heeded, the tendonitis of today will surely be the surgery of tomorrow. Rather than giving up the hobbies and sports we love to do because of tendonitis’s painful grip, try turning to your dinner table for some relief. In many cases of tendonitis, it is the diet of the individual that needs some changing, not the repeated activity itself. Most of the patients who suffer from tendonitis have aggravated this painful condition by consuming an improper diet of foods that cause high acid levels to build up in the system. This acidity build-up tends to aggravate inflamed tendons and must be dispersed and removed from the body if you ever expect it to heal. One way to control this is by restricting large amounts of caffeine or salt intake; this will also keep your body from retaining any extra fluids during bouts of tendonitis. Try eliminating foods that may trigger a tendonitis flareup: beans, peas and wheat products among them. A new diet must be put in place for the tendons to heal and recover. This new diet must consist of lots of water to help flush the system and remove any acidity buildup. It will also help to keep your diet within the general guidelines of the pyramid plate. Doing so helps to ensure that you consume adequate fresh fruits and vegetables. In turn, these foods hold lots of hydration and fiber that aid the body’s waste

production, essential in reducing excess swelling. Eating more pineapple while recovering from the effects of tendonitis will be very beneficial, due to the enzyme bromelain, which breaks down damaged tissue and flushes it out of your system. Vitamin B-6 is a good supplement to take while healing tendinitis, because it acts as a safe natural diuretic, flushing the damaged cells out of the body allowing the swelling to go down. Glucosamine may be helpful during bouts of tendonitis, because this supplement is a natural anti-inflammatory and painkiller. Taking glucosamine tablets for six weeks after a tendinitis flare-up will ensure that the tissue has time to fully recover. If you experience chronic tendinitis, it may be time to consider a change of lifestyle and a special diet of only fruits and vegetables for a brief period. The McDougall diet, based on a program developed by Dr. John McDougall, suggests that tendonitis sufferers initially eliminate most whole foods from their diets. After two weeks, Dr. McDougall suggests gradually reintroducing proteins and starches. Again, this is a dramatic cleansing diet, and not for everyone. Yet, life is all about choices. This includes choosing foods that aid our busy lifestyles and not diminish it. Trust me, your body will thank you.

Just in Time for Thanksgiving: “How to Cook Everything”

or fans of the bestselling “How to Cook Everything” cookbooks, all the things you love can be found in the eponymouslytitled apps, including thousands of recipes, in-app grocery lists, built-in timers, guided illustrations, and the straightforward culinary wisdom of New York Times writer Mark Bittman. There’s a great range of cuisine, from simple to fancy egg dishes, classic American faves (like the grilled-cheese sandwich), and exotic fare like Pad Thai and braised squid. NOW YOU’RE COOKING: Free (for iPad and iPhone).

Nike FuelBand: Personal Fitness Tech to Keep You Honest (and Healthy)

Sometime before speech replaced sign language, I was enrolled in a Catholic pre-school. One of the nuns, Sister Maria Theresa Elephant (or whatever the crabby penguin was named) had a knack for knowing when you were thinking good—or bad—thoughts. “Sister’s smarter than you!” she would intone, in a voice that gave me nightmares long years after. Like good Sister Maria T, health studies show that having something to keep tabs on our negative behavior makes it far more likely that we’ll fix it. The new Nike FuelBand serves the fitness-conscious as a constant monitor of how active you are being, or aren’t. The band gives you access to similar data from friends, allowing you to keep up on the Joneses waist and activity doings—and it lets you do so whenever, wherever

you are. That adds up to greater likelihood of success at whatever you’re trying to accomplish with your personal fitness goals. The FuelBand is nearly-wristwatch band wide, with a battery life of several days. Note that its water-resistance is not the same as waterproof. (Think showers instead of swimming pools.) Using the FuelBand’s built-in screen, you can access various data including Time and Calories, which produces your current results. The screen lets you access data through Wireless Bluetooth technology without the need of a docked- or synchronized smartphone. The price tag may make you groan louder than a superset of squats, but you are paying in part for the Nike name. BAND WIDTH: $150. Continued on Page 52

What Ho!

Thumbnail Theater: Macbeth—The Bard Cometh to Apps (and Who Art Thou Calling “Ho?”) My partner, Proculus, is a good sport when it comes to my quirky habits—like quoting from Shakespeare at 6 a.m. (tights being optional). The Bard’s “Macbeth” is a play rife with legends and superstitions, one which requires that the name of the play never be spoken (theater professionals superstitiously refer to it as “the Scottish play”). Thumbnail Theater: Macbeth is a terrific and hilarious animated take on the classic tale of betrayal, madness, and revenge (which elements, come to think of it, comprise a large portion of the Renaissance playwright’s folio). The app contains over three hours of interactive elements, and is recommended for ages 9 and up. TT:M has been updated for the retina iPad, and a new “Return to Movie” setting allows cleaner navigation. A tutorial about William Shakespeare is also included, along with complete text of the play. The Bard was never so cool (except maybe when hottie Joseph Fiennes portrayed him in “Shakespeare in Love”—woof). OUT, DAMN SPOT! $5 (for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.0 or later).

Snapshot By GRANT JAMES

Alejandro Kalaf III Has ‘Comitment’ Issues

n the property and casualty industry, Alejandro Kalaf III is what is known as a “producer.” His agency, Dunham Insurance Services, is one of Florida’s leading independent insurance firms. As well as a President and CEO—Christopher Dunham—who played Major League Baseball, and a company history of giving back to the community, what sets them apart is a level of professional commitment that us paired with a personal touch.

As Chris Dunham himself points out that degree of commitment is exemplified by Kalaf—or as his co-workers call him, “Chachi.” His dedication to the community can be seen through numerous non-profit events he has participated in this year, while still managing to juggle a full-time job, and fulfilling his allimportant commitments to the agency’s clients. Kalaf says that giving back is its own reward, but that he has been blessed by working for a supportive company, and having clients who recognize his dedication to both them and his non-profit work. “The work I do for non-profits is my own decision,” he explains, “but the business has been very supportive of me. I just try to give back to the community as much as possible. It’s very important to me.” Among his 2012 “highlights,” Kalaf notes, “This year I have been involved with events for the Aids Walk, Broward House, Smart Ride, Tuesday’s Angels, and I took part in a breast cancer event.” Although like his hypothetical children, Kalaf says he loves taking part in each and every one, “If we’re talking the most overall fun, it would definitely have to be Broward House’s Amazing Race.”

“But the one I have the most attachment to is the Smart Ride,” he admits. “It’s just so big in terms of the number of individuals and organizations that take part, and so much is given back. It was my fourth year doing Smart Ride this year, and each time I just feel such a connection.” Kalaf was also an original participant in the Brian Neal Fitness and Health Foundation’s weekend walks on Wilton Drive, and he plans to continue to keep his metaphorical Dance Card full with events and fundraisers that draw awareness to the community he loves and serves. “Swimming with the Hammerheads, square dancing with the Mustangs,” rapid-firing a never-ending stream of philanthropic efforts—and fun—Kalaf adds, “I try to put myself out there as much as I can.” Now, that’s a commitment.
