Your Summer BBQ, a glass of Pimms over looking Hyde Park on a Mayfair Terrace is the perfect recipe to the ideal summer party
As Christmas becomes a distant memory, organisers are beginning to turn their attentions to one of the most exciting events on their calendars – the summer party. We've started taking bookings for a number of different clients all looking for a fabulous, central London venue with a stunning, outside space. If you're considering No.4 Hamilton Place for your summer party, make sure you get in touch early to secure your ideal date. If you're still searching for the perfect venue, read on to see what we have to offer…
Our summer party space
The stunning Argyll Room and Terrace are great choices for any summer party. The recently refurbished Terrace benefits from the venue's central Mayfair location with its stunning views over Hyde Park. Our outside space also enjoys a great spot within our Edwardian townhouse as it adjoins our most coveted suite, the Argyll Room.
With its beautiful period features – including gilt cornicing, huge bow windows and floor to ceiling mirrored walls – the Argyll Room is the ideal inside addition to an outdoor event. Whether you want a 'wet weather plan B' space or simply an indoor area for when the sun goes down, these two spaces give an organiser everything they need to host an ideal summer party.
The Traditional BBQ package
There's no better way to bring people together than with alfresco cooking and dining. Our Traditional BBQ package includes all the staples you'd expect at a British barbecue, but with a little added flair, like our Homemade beef burger; cheddar; cos; pickles and tomato relish on a brioche roll and the Honey-glazed sweet potato and haloumi kebab. This menu starts at just £39.50 a head. If you want to include unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks, prices per head start at £64.75.
The upgrade
This year our fantastic in-house caterer, Food by Dish, has created a range of BBQ menus with a truly international flavour. Our World Food package gives organisers the chance to choose from five distinct cuisines: Asian, United Kingdom, North American, South American and European. Choose one menu for £46pp and two for £51pp.
Culinary delights your guests can expect to enjoy range from Mississippi dry rub beef short rib and Peruvian spiced chicken quarter to Edamame and panko burger; pickled ginger and naan bread and Keen's goat's cheese and giant field mushroom on sourdough with caramelised onions. You'll find something to suit every one of your guests' tastes on our 2017 summer menus.
Other options
If a barbecue isn't what you're after we can also offer you and your guests the option of bowl food or canapés. The canapés menu is eclectic and exciting and can include bites like Yellow fin tuna with yuzu pickled cucumber; carrot and radish and Ras el hanout marinated candy floss prawn with saffron and lime yoghurt. Bowl food will give your guests a more substantial meal and comprises dishes including Sticky duck with a watermelon; cashew and mint salad and Lamb seekh kebab with coriander chutney and naan bread. Including drinks these packages are priced at £81pp and £85pp respectively.

This post begins a three-part series describing my dissertation project. Today I will lay out the study as originally proposed. Tomorrow I will discuss the research I have accomplished so far. On Friday, I will post some reflections on how the project has evolved and changed since its inception. Change over time being, of course, an historian's primary interest, both in the distant past and the immediate, personal present.
I recently re-read the abstract I wrote before I defended my dissertation prospectus. My department requires that the abstract be circulated to faculty and graduate students in the email announcing the defense. I distinctly recall finishing one of the last drafts of the prospectus and absolutely dreading the task of writing the abstract. I also remember that, once I sucked it up and forced myself to sit back down at the computer, writing it was a loathsome, tedious experience that yielded an unsatisfactory product.
The best part about the whole "ordeal" was that it did not matter; no one cares about the abstract for a document that by its very nature is prospective. Five months later, however, when I read this overstuffed paragraph I do find it instructive. It's a testament to the ambition of the project. I really wanted--hell, I still want--to tell a thoughtful story with contemporary relevance, national scope, and valuable implications for urban leadership. It's also evidence of my determination; I stubbornly jammed in every element and angle that I determined was important. The abstract talks about Jewish identity, professionalization theory, spatial politics, demographic transition, intra-religious tension, and ethnic conflict over three decades in three cities, and maps all of this onto the history of one institution!
Here's the basic premise: Jewish communities in large urban neighborhoods began to change after WWII, for a variety of structural reasons. Demographic changes pushed Jewish Community Centers (JCCs) in these neighborhoods to reevaluate their membership policies. Executives, Boards of Directors, and Federations of Jewish Philanthropy debated the options for membership intake policy. Would they accept non-Jews, eschewing their sectarian mission? Or should they double down on their sectarian commitment, and work to strengthen their membership's Jewish identity?
I argue that the gradual shift towards more inclusive membership policies in postwar urban Jewish Community Centers derived from the universalistic social work training of movement leadership and local Center executives; that this universalistic commitment was guided by the imperative to maintain professional prestige and legitimize their expertise among fellow (non-sectarian) social work colleagues and to distinguish their expertise from religious leadership; that this distinct professional identity required constant validation because the unique expertise of Jewish social workers justified the existence of separate sectarian institutions like JCCs; and finally, that universalism won out over particularism during the urban crisis, as local demographic changes affected Center memberships and forced a reevaluation of these institutions' sectarian missions.
I proposed to do case studies of three urban JCCs in order to support this argument: the YM-YWHA of Washington Heights-Inwood in northern Manhattan, the Soto-Michigan Community Center in Los Angeles' Boyle Heights neighborhood, and the Miami Y. Throughout the chapters, I would move from telling the history of the JCC movement more broadly to an specific, emblematic episode in the history of one of these Centers. This close study would demonstrate how broader national or regional trends played out at the local level. For example, after describing how autonomous JCCs often came into conflict with their Federations--metropolitan fundraising bodies--over agency priorities, I would zoom in to describe a fundraising campaign undertaken by the YM-YWHA of Washington Heights-Inwood in the early 1950s. The Y was struggling to pay for the construction of a new building, and they wanted help from Federation to meet their fundraising total. The episode not only illuminates the complex financial relationship between the New York Federation and individual Centers, but also how these entities disagreed on the degree of responsibility Board members, Center staff, and local members had to subsidize and contribute to their own services and spaces.
To boil it down even further, here are the assumptions and questions that are central to my project.
Beginning in the 1940s, American cities rapidly deindustrialized. Economic prosperity and changing social values prompted white Americans to decamp for the suburbs. Many formerly- Jewish neighborhoods transitioned to predominantly black or Latino. JCCs that were built in these neighborhoods to serve Jewish members had to decide whether or not to move, close, or start serving what they referred to as the "total community."
How did American urban Jewish Community Centers evolve between 1945 and 1980 in response to changing American society and values? How did community building occur in increasingly multicultural urban neighborhoods? How did JCCs define the extent of the Centers' community? Would it include non-Jews? If so, would the Center relinquish its sectarian commitment and become a secular agency? How would this stance likewise facilitate cooperation with non-Jewish membership, particularly Latino Catholics, or underscore differences? Finally, did these changes affect the social service and communal welfare infrastructure of urban areas?
Any questions? Yeah, I bet you do! I'm not sure that I've done a better job explaining it here than I did in the abstract.

SYDNEY, June 27 -- China's debut in the world's largest naval exercise is a "leap of trust" as it teams with the United States and U.S. allies at a time of heightened regional tension over territorial disputes, a leading Australian Asia expert said on Friday.
Michael Wesley, professor of National Security at the Australian National University, told the ABC that China's inclusion in RIMPAC 2014 is highly significant.
"It's important to include China in these sorts of coalition exercises in order to offset what is probably a growing belief in China that it is being encircled by tightening alliances and partnerships among its neighbors, and among its neighbors and the United States.
"I think that it's also a reasonable leap of trust by the Chinese that they will take part in these U.S.-led exercises that will be heavily participated in by U.S. allies as well."
Australian ambassador to China Frances Adamson said there will be challenges in the future as China rises as a regional power.
Speaking to a business audience in Sydney on Thursday, Adamson said the relationship with Australia has reached a new strategic level and argued that with the possible signing of a free trade agreement by November China would continue to see Australia as a " valuable partner".
But as China assumes a more active leadership role internationally and continues to assert its territorial claims, Adamson said diplomacy will get more complex and challenging.
"I firmly believe though that we each need to develop a relationship where we can not only talk about the millions and billions and the things we count in the bilateral trade and investment relationship, but also good in-depth discussions about these sorts of issues," she said.

Butler tourist model
- Exploration- small numbers of visitors are attracted by something particular: good beaches; attractive landscapes, historical or cultural features. Local people have not yet developed many tourist services.
- Involvement- The local population sees the opportunities and starts to provide accommodation, food, transport, guides and other services for the visitors.
- Development- large companies build hotels and leisure complexes and advertise package holidays. Numbers of tourists rise dramatically. Job opportunities for local people grow rapidly, but this brings both advantages and disadvantages.
1 of 25
Butler tourist model (2)
- Consolidation- Tourism is now a major part of the local economy, but perhaps at the expense of other types of development. Numbers of visitors are steady making employment more secure. However, some hotels and other facilities are becoming older and unattractive, so the type of customers attracted goes downmarket. Rowdiness becomes a problem.
- Stagnation- The resort becomes unfashionable and numbers of visitors start to decline. Businesses change hands and often fail.

UK national park - lake district
The reasons for Growth of Tourism in the Lake District
- Physical: Unique geology
- Unique glacial scenery
- Highest, most challenging hills in England that attract up to the best rock climbers and mountaineers in the country
- Beautiful valley and lake scenery that can provide walks for all ability levels with open access to all hills
- Lakes for ferry cruises and water sports
- Ospreys have been reintroduced
- Created as a National Park in 1951 to protect the environment and encourage access
3 of 25
lake distric (2)
- Cultural: A fashionable place to visit from the c19th for poets and artists. Wordsworth and Ruskin's house can be visited
- In the c19th, many wealthy Manchester industrialists built large houses and gardens in the area to get away from the pollution. Some have been converted into hotels, some are open to the public
- Beatrix Potter lived here and owned large amounts of land ( which was later given to the National Trust) Her stories were written in and about the area.
- Rich in archaeological, farming, mining and industrial heritage
- The range of 'indoor' activities is growing that can attract people throughout the year, not just in the summer
4 of 25
lake district (3)
- Transport: The M6 allows easy access from the Manchester and Liverpool areas within 2 hours drive
- Information: The internet means that anyone, anywhere in the world, has access to information about the area
- Anyone considering a visit can plan and book from home more easily now.
5 of 25
lake distric (4)
- Issues
- Resident population: 42 000
- Visitors: 12 million per year, 22 million visitor days concentrated in school holidays especially the summer
- Traffic congestion: 89% of visitors come by car.
- Most of the roads are small, narrow and winding so queues develop
- Settlements grew up in the 19th century when traffic volumes were significantly smaller
- Car parks are often full to overflowing early in the day
6 of 25
lake district (5)
- Parking on grass verges causes environmental damage
- Footpath erosion on the most popular hills (Helvellyn, Cat Bells)
- A large % of the houses are second homes which has put the price of housing up so locals cannot afford them and local services like schools have to close
- Bank erosion on the lakes that allowed power boats
7 of 25
lake district (6)
- Strategies to cope with large numbers of tourists / Plans to ensure the continuing success of the tourism industry in the area
- In 1997 The lake District National Park Authority Management plan
- 2010 Core Strategy of the Local Development Framework set out the NPA vision for the next 15 years and how they were to achieve this.
- Traffic. / parking
- Dual carriageways have been built across the northern edge from Penrith to Keswick and beyond which keeps traffic moving and allows larger lorries to deliver supplies to larger shops and supermarkets in Keswick and to the industry on the coast.
- The main road south from Keswick through the centre of the Lakes has been improved but kept as a 2 lane road although there are sections of dual carriageway on some steeper sections
8 of 25
lake district (7)
Heavy lorries are kept off the smaller roads
- Size of car park is linked to size of settlement and the number of people it can cope with. Hopefully when they are full people will go elsewhere.
- Park and ride schemes from the outskirts of the Lakes into the centre.
- Provision of smaller hopper buses linking the main towns to the villages and main walking areas. They run frequently and are competitively priced. They go through areas where car parking is very limited
9 of 25
lake district (8)
- The main footpaths and most eroded ones are reinforced and rebuilt.
- Routes are clearly signed
- Bollards are placed by the side of roads to prevent cars parking there
- New car parks and buildings have trees planted round them to 'hide' them
- Where possible use 'waffles in car parks rather than tarmac to reduce change to hydrological cycle
- Add more litter bins and make sure they are emptied regularly
- Speed limits were enforced on Lake Windemere which stopped power boats using it Improve signs so tourists close gates and do not affect sheep
- Housing
· All new build accommodation must be made available for locals to buy
·Encourage timeshare style developments rather than second homes
10 of 25
lake district (9)
- The Effectiveness of strategies to cope with the impact of large numbers of tourists
- The amount of tourist revenue continues to grow
- The number of people visiting and returning to visit continues to grow
- Footpath and bank erosion has been reduced

mass tourism- jamaica
- Up to half foreign exchange earnings from tourism (mining of bauxite and agriculture are also important)
- About 1.3 million foreign tourists a year
- Up to ¾ visitors from USA
- 9% increase in visits from 'non-resident Jamaicans'
- Growing at 3-4% a year with bigger increases in some months
- Capacity over 24 000 rooms
- The positive and negative effects of mass tourism on the economy and environment
- Advantages
- Lots of foreign money is coming into the country
- Government money is being spent on improving housing and town centres
- Government money is being spent trying to bring down the crime rate
- Jobs are available in the big hotels
12 of 25
jamaica (2)
- Disadvantages / areas of resentment
- Dominance of large, all-inclusive hotels so ownership and therefore income is concentrated in a few, often foreign owners
- Many informal jobs such as taxi driving and selling crafts are very low paid
- Failure to use tourism / tax revenues for the good of the general population
- Migration of people to resort centres for low paid jobs has led to squatter settlements
- Lack of consultation with locals has led to resentment and crime.
- Many beaches are reserved for the expensive hotels so locals unhappy. Other beaches can only be accessed by paying and the public ones are in a poor condition. The government cannot afford to clean all of them up so give permits to commercial companies who then charge for access to the 85 or so public beaches
- Differences in wealth between visitors and locals has led to harassment of tourists so putting them off
- Environmental damage around the main tourist centres
13 of 25
jamaica (3)
- Strategies for maintaining the importance of tourism in the area and reducing its negative effects.
- Political / social
- Government moving from seeing tourism as simply a way of making money to a way of promoting economic development. Recognised that local communities are at the heart of modern tourism
- Encourage small tourism businesses and community based ventures with government loans, provide more opportunities for local businesses to market goods to tourists, help farmers increase the supply to hotels
- Develop an integrated planning policy to involve all levels from national to parishes
- Shift to community based planning so more people are involved and benefits more widely spread
- Linking to other sectors to sustain jobs and social stability e.g. assist the development of arts and crafts by providing finance
14 of 25
jamaica (4)
- Anti-harassment legislation and crack down on crime to make people feel safer and to improve visitor experience. These have been major constraints on growth in the past
- After success of Usain Bolt in 2008 Jamaica - major international advertising campaign emphasising Jamaica's heritage refurbished its main tourist website as one stop shop for information on history, culture, attractions, facilities and booking with links to google maps and constantly updated information
15 of 25
jamaica (5)
- Geographical / spatial
- Zoning of the island. Kingston area to be developed mainly for cruise visitors and tours and the South Coast to feature low density tourism based on their outstanding heritage for tours and independent travellers
- Focus resources on 4 heritage sites of international potential – Port Royal, Spanish Town, Falmouth and Seville. Develop scenic routes and circuits and heritage trails across the country coordinating with local communities and their products
- National location strategy to concentrate accommodation in 3 major resort centres Montego Bay, Negril and Ocho Rios (to serve the above) with Kingston as a resort centre but not in need of extra accommodation (The ribbon development along the N and NW coasts to be stopped to reduce environmental and social damage) Resources to mitigate environmental impact can then be concentrated in these areas. The rest of the country to provide visitor attractions and low density accommodation
- 2 airport strategy to speed up and spread out travellers
16 of 25
jamaica (6)
- Environmental
- US$8 million spent on increasing the carrying capacity of the 3 main areas, especially in environmental management as pollution and other environmental damage has held back development in the past
- US$1.5 million is spent on maintaining and cleaning up tourist sites to help enhance the overall visitor experience
- Beach strategy: to improve non-hotel beaches as well as opening up hotel beaches. Commercial companies to work with large hotels to use revenues from beach access to continue to develop the services so locals and visitors can mix without harassment e.g. Doctors Cove and Breezes Hotel. Exclusive licenses to be phased out to prevent the best beaches being given to all-inclusive hotels that charge for the use of amenities as this kills off small hotels and non-hotel accommodation
- Investment in improving water quality
- Collect solid waste the pump remaining sewage beyond the coral reefs
- US$0.5 million to marine park trusts to develop eco-tourism, to improve environmental protection and operate new facilities

- Tourism began in 1950s when commercial fishing took some passengers.
- 1969 was the first cruise
- Tourism is developing rapidly in Antarctica. Numbers have risen from 9000 in 1992/93 to 45,000 in 2008/09.This has led to major concerns about ship safety and environmental impact.
- Over 100 tourist companies are involved.
- 36% are from USA and 16% from the UK.

19 of 25
antartica (3)
- Problems with tourism
- Environmental impact of a tourist is far greater than that of a researcher.
- Landing sites are chosen for a special reason, so they become honeypots.
- Tourists spend a short time ashore but is often too great and uneven.
- Penguins and seals are easily disturbed by more than just a few people. If they leave then they abandon their young and eggs
- Ships have struck rocks and ice floes.
- Oil spills are becoming increasingly common

antartica (4)
Managing tourism:
- All tour operators are members of IAATO, which directs tourism to be safe and environmentally friendly.
- In line with the Antarctic Treaty, tourism is acceptable, but it is the scale that needs to be controlled.
- Visitors are not allowed to visit Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in order to conserve precious wildlife and landscapes e.g. Bird Island on South Georgia.
- You must gain a permit for any activities on the continent
- In 2009, the Treaty nations agreed that large ships carrying more than 500 passengers will not be allowed to land people ashore
- From 2010, all ships sailing in the Treaty Area will be banned from using heavy fuel oil
- Visitors/ workers use powdered drinks and condensed food to reduce waste. Much waste is returned to the host country including human waste
- Rubbish is stored in caged bins to ensure it cannot be blown away

- Job creation - tourism is the largest employer in Menorca
- - tourism has had a multiplier effectand helps to support many different sectors of the economy e.g. jobs in farming (providing food for hotels and cafes), jobs in the craft industry (providing locally made souvenirs) and it is recognised that ice-cream is a major business
- - tourism in Menorca has also raised awareness of the need to preserve the environment

- - as tourism is very much a seasonal industry - employment fluctuates at different times of the year
- - the demands of the tourists have led to changes in the local way of life and there is also resentment of the number of villas and other properties being bought up as second homes by foreigners
- - some of the earliest hotels which were built did not fit in with the local landscape and contrast dramatically against the beauty of the natural coastline
- - the local culture has suffered some 'erosion' as changes have been made to meet the demands of tourists

We are almost at this time of the year. When all the students start attending to conferences usually called "Jobs/internship/Opportunities", and finally wake up early in the morning, even on sundays, to shoot emails to companies, and start applying.
Internships are part of the academic years of students, and are sometimes their very first professional experience, except for those who have already had a student job, or worked as a freelancer for instance.
Who hasn't dreamed of strolling along Manhattan, on the way to work?
We all know how tough it is for students to get a top internship, especially when you are considering working abroad🌎.
Back in 2014, when I was a third year student in a Parisian business school, I also had to find a six-month internship, and just like everyone, all I wanted was to travel! Manhattan, Fifth av, Times Square, Soho were the key words whenever I had to add filters to research engines for internship opportunities. After extensive research and applications, I noticed that most successful applicants were students who pulled strings. This was the tipping point, the moment when I figured out that I had to get a different approach.
A dinner and bravery can get you anywhere…
It all took a different angle when I was having dinner at a hotel in Paris. At the end of the meal, while I was walking back from the restroom, I overheard a gentleman speaking with other people. It seemed to be a business dinner, when all of a sudden, I heard:
"I am leaving back tomorrow, I need to take care of a few things for our opening, on Times Square, as many clients will be staying at our hotel".
At this moment, I understood that the gentleman was a managing director who leads hotel branches across the world, currently assessing the service of one of them.
I kept an eye on him, knowing that this person could be my opportunity to intern at a famous hotel company in New York. A few minutes later I saw him leaving the table. Assuming that he was going to the restrooms, I simply followed him, and stood in front of the restrooms entrance for a few minutes, and waited for him.
When he stepped out, I knew I had nothing to lose, and decided to interrupt him and start a conversation.
I introduced myself, told him about my studies and competencies, and how I'd love to intern in such a firm.
He seemed very surprised, but told me about how he liked my enthusiasm, my motivation and the effort I made. He handed me his business card, andasked me to shoot him an email.
The very next day, on May 14th, I sent him my resume and a cover letter. I went through some regular H.R motivational and technical questions 🤔.
Two and a half months later, I was starting my first day as a finance intern at a famous luxury hotel on Times Square 😯.
And guess what? I was living on the 7th av, which actually forced me to stroll along Manhattan as a commute to work…
Even though such services were not available, it is now possible for you to build a network, work with companies across the world, and get paid as a student, via Unilance.
Never be afraid

So I've provided a perfect fall dinner for you – and now here's dessert.
I know that there are still some decent weeks of summer left, but fall is by far my most favorite season of the year. The beautiful colors of the leaves, the crisp chill in the air, and the shameless use of PUMPKIN in everything.
This recipe caught my eye because 1) it used beer 2) it called for pumpkin and 3) well, brownies might just be one of my most favorite desserts ever. This is the third recipe that I've used from Women's Health Magazine – these ladies really know their beer recipes! While visually, I don't think they came out quite as well as the WHM ladies version, tastefully, they delivered!
Chocolate Stout Pumpkin Brownies
*Womens Health Magazine
2 Tbsp low-fat cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tsp cinnamon, divided
6 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, chopped
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup stout beer, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a bowl, stir together cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, canned pumpkin, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
2) Place chocolate and butter in a metal bowl and heat over a pot of simmering water, stirring until completely melted. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup sugar. Mix in 2 eggs, one at a time. Gently stir in 1 cup flour, cocoa powder, beer, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
3) Scrape half the chocolate batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Spread half the pumpkin mixture on top, then add the remaining chocolate mixture on top of that and spread evenly. Top with the remaining pumpkin mixture. Gently swirl batter with a butter knife. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.
These were phenomenal, however I think next time there are a couple things I might do differently. 1) Double the pumpkin mixture – I felt that the chocolatey-ness of the brownies really overp0wered the deliciousness of the pumpkin swirl on the top. So I would recommend doing that, especially if you love pumpkin!
I also think I would maybe cut back on the amount of unsweetened baking chocolate, maybe from 6 oz. to 4 or 3. I personally don't love that bitter chocolate taste, and felt that the brownies were a little bit on the bitter chocolatey side, so I think I would just maybe cut back on it a bit next time.
You guys will love these though 🙂 Another keeper for 'Cooking with Beer'!
Yesterday marked our one month anniversary with Hairy (aka Hair Maclare, Hair Bear, Bubba, Bubbaloo, Bud, Buddy – he's definitely having an identity crisis). And luckily, there wasn't much on the agenda for this weekend, so we got to spend lots of time with him after being away last weekend. Lots of walks – an outside beer in Davis Square – a trip to the park – and getting to meet his Auntie Ash and Uncle Sean! They were nice enough to invite us over for dinner so we could catch up and so that they could meet Hairy before he morphs into a 100 lb. monster.
Ash and Sean are fab cooks – they always try new things and somehow I get the sense that in all their attempts at new recipes, there has never been a disastorous outcome. Their recipe selection and cooking skills are just that good. Sean made this fantastical Lobster Ceviche and Ash concocted a light and delcious corn chowder and Arugula Salad (another recipe that I stole from her) that were perfect compliments to the meaty steaks we had. A fantastic meal! And, they are such good hosts that when Hairy piddled on their really nice rug, Ash didn't even bat an eyelash, but quietly cleaned it up while Dave and I (worst puppy parents ever) enjoyed our cocktails out on the porch. Ooops. Ah well, at least he's cute right?
In addition to Ash's delicious pie crust french fries with blueberries (GENIUS), I made Dark Chocolate Goat Cheese brownies. The Vermont Brownie Company has a version of these that I've had a few times and thought "Wow – who ever would have thought cheese would be good in a brownie!". There's lots of recipes for them out there, but this one from My Fancy Pantry stuck out quite frankly because it seemed really easy and really delicious. And it was. Oh and they were.
Goat Cheese Brownies
*My Fancy Pantry
*yields about 2 dozen small/1 dozen large brownies
1 batch of brownies, prepared–but not baked
(I used Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudgey Brownie Mix)
1 large dark chocolate bar- cut into chunks
8 oz. goat cheese
2 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. all purpose flour
2 tbsp. cream cheese
1 egg
1) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease your baking pan (I used a 9×13).
2) In a large bowl, prepare your favorite brownies–homemade or from a mix–and stir in the dark chocolate chunks. Set the brownie mixture aside.
3) In a separate bowl, combine the chevre, honey, flour, cream cheese and egg. Beat the ingredients together until the mixture becomes nice and smooth.
4) In the greased baking pan, add half of the brownie mixture. Spread it out so that it covers the entire bottom.
5) Now, add spoonfuls of the goat cheese mixture on top of the brownies you just spread in the pan. Spoon the rest of the prepared brownie mix on top, as well.
6) Using a plastic knife or a butter knife, make swirls and zig-zags throughout the spoonfuls of chevre mixture and brownie mix, creating a pretty swirled pattern.
7) Bake the brownies in the pre-heated oven until the center is set but still quite fudgy. (Follow the baking directions for whichever brownie mix or recipe you used– I baked for about 25 minutes).
8) When the brownies are finished, remove them from the oven and let them cool. Once they're completely cooled, remove from the pan and freeze–or cut and serve.
The fudgey factor of these is beyond – they are so stickey and gooey that I would highly recommend keeping them frozen, or at least chilled (definitely not out at room temperature for too long).
Hopefully, these were good enough to cancel out the trail of puppy pee 😦
I gotta say, multi tasking these days is a must. Tonight, I have like a zillion and a half new recipes I want to try – and there's the 'clicker' method of training we're trying with Hair, AND there's a new episode of Restaurant Impossible on – ugh. Not enough hours in the day sometimes. Dave had hockey tonight, which meant that I was home with Hairy by myself – and I don't know why I'm slightly terrified to be alone with this little brown bundle of joy, but I feel somewhat this way. Maybe because in 2 weeks, we are down 2 pairs of flip flops, 1 lap top charger and 1 phone charger. He moves fast that one!
Do you guys remember the delicious candy bar that was invented some years ago by Hershey called 'Take-5'? Augh – so good. A combination of some of my favorite things on earth – chocolate, pretzels, peanut butter, caramel and peanuts – phew. And honestly I feel like this particular genius combination really never got the credit it deserved. It was that candy bar at the check out whose box was still full or had a slight layer of dust on it. And that always made me sad. Sure Snickers and Milky Ways are old classics that will probably still be around 1,000 years from now when robots are ruling the earth (I really do believe this will happen). But Take-5 really pushed the limit in the candy bar world, and is probably one of the only ones I know that incorporates pretzels, which I think is genius!
What's up w/ my Take-5 tangent? I stumbled apon these delightful looking Brownie Batter Bites from The Domestic Rebel. And there were 2 things that struck me about this recipe – 1) It looked super easy and 2) It was reminiscent of my favorite underrated candy bar, Take-5's, incorporating chocolate brownie batter, pretzels and chocolate. So I took it, and added peanut butter to it. Peanut butter makes everything better (especially rubber kongs – just ask Hairy)
'Take 5' Brownie Bites
(makes about 3 dozen bites)
1 box of dry brownie mix
1 stick of butter, melted
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 bag of mini-pretzels
2-4 tbsp. of heavy cream (or milk)
8 oz. milk or dark chocolate
1) In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, melted butter and peanut butter. As you're mixing, you'll notice that this batter will become pretty dry. That's what the cream/milk is for. I added a little at a time until it reached more of a doughy consistency. I would start with 2 tbsp. and add as you need it to soften the batter.
2) On a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, lay out 36 mini pretzels. Take about 1 tsp of the brownie/PB batter and roll into a ball between your palms.
3) Place ball of batter on top of pretzel, then cover with another pretzel making yourself a little 'sammie'. Once you've finished assembling all the sammies, place them in the fridge for about 1/2 hour so they can chill.
4) While sammies are chilling, melt your chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Take your sammies out of the fridge, submerge them in the melted chocolate and then cover with rainbow sprinkles (or your topping of choice!)
So in the end, I got to accomplish A LOT in one night:
1) Made these delicious Take 5 bites (and ate so many, I gave myself a stomach ache – am I 30 or 12?) while still managing to keep an eye on Hairy (I'm down to my last pair of flip flops – it's essential to not let him out of my sight)
2) Just about nailed the 'SIT' trick with the help of many clicks and MANY more treats.
3) Got to watch the new R.I. – it amazes me what they do in 2-days – and I think Robert Irvine is totally sexy – there I said it – Sorry Dave 🙂
Cake pops are all the rage now – taking baked cake, crumbling it up into tiny pieces and then slapping a can of frosting in the mix, rolling into balls and putting it all on a stick – GENIUS!
I saw a version of this new fad on pinterest from Play Eat Grow, only these ladies added an extra, super fun step, and instead of placing the cake balls on a stick, they stuck them on an ice cream cone! Making a new, fun version of everyone's favorite summer time treat. I took one look and knew that I had to try them. But I thought of making them a little differently by using brownies instead of cake. I just love brownies – not that I don't love cake – but how can you go wrong with chocolatey brownies rolled into a ball on top of an ice cream cone? You CAN'T!
Brownie Cake Cones
(makes about 8 brownie cones)
1 Box of brownie mix, prepared according to instructions
(cake like style)
1 can of your favorite chocolate frosting
1 Box of sugar cones
1/2 bag of candy melts
*I got the melting discs that you can buy at A.C. Moore or Michaels but any melting chocolate will do
Colored non-pareils
1) Prepare the brownies according to the instructions, using the cake-like recipe (fudgey style brownies would be hard to crumble). After the brownies have cooked and cooled off, crumble them into small pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
2) Add 1/3 of the can of frosting to the brownie crumbles and mix. You can add frosting as you feel necessary. Most cake pop recipes call for an entire can of frosting, but I thought that the brownies are naturally a little more 'fudgey' than cake, so a lot of frosting wasn't entirely necessary, but you can use your discretion.
3) Take a handful of the brownie frosting mixture, so that when you go to roll the mixture into a ball, it fills the palm of your hand. You want the balls to be large enough to fit in the sugar cones. You can test beforehand to make sure they're large enough.
4) After you have your brownie balls rolled, chill them in the refridgerator for about 20 minutes, just so that they will hold their shape.
5) While the brownie balls are chilling, melt the chocolate melts over medium heat in a saucepan.
6) Take the brownie balls from the fridge and dip the bottom half of the ball in the chocolate and then place on the top of the cone so that the chocolate will fuse the brownie ball to the cone once it hardens.
7) After the brownie ball has been 'glued' onto the cone, take a spatula and spread the chocolate over the rest of the brownie ball. You could also take the cone and just dip it directly in the chocolate – I thought spreading it with the spatula helped to give more of a 'drip' effect, making it look more like ice cream.
8) While the chocolate is still melted, dip the cone in the non-pareils.
9) Let the cones/chocolate harden in the make shift cone holder.
These honestly came out so much better than I pictured! The brownie was perfectly soft on the inside, and the chocolate and non-pareils on the outside really gave it a nice crunch – and it's on a cone! How can you go wrong? You can't get a funner or more delicious dessert! And the best part is that they won't melt all over your hands 🙂
Sounds strange I know – but lately I've been loving goat cheese – it's soft and creamy, delicous on crackers, similar to cream cheese but with a little bit of tanginess – all in all a great ingredient!
And then I thought of a way to incorporate it with dessert.
My friend Maggie made these delicious little Nutella pockets a while back at one of our wine clubs. And they were so yummy, and by the sounds of it, so easy to make! So I experimented with some ingredients to make a new spin on everyone's favorite chinese food side, crab rangoons. Only using brownie mix and goat cheese. YUM!
Goat Cheese and Brownie Rangoons
Vegetable oil
1/4 cup fresh goat cheese
1/4 cup fat free ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon confectioner sugar
3 tablespoons dry brownie mix, plus 2 tbsp for dusting
12 won ton wrappers
3 tbsp granulated sugar
egg white for basting
1) Combine the goat cheese, ricotta, confectioner sugar and brownie mix in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamed together.
2) Lay out the 12 won tons on a baking sheet – place 1/2 tbsp of the goat cheese/brownie mixture in the center of each won ton.
3) Baste the edges of the won ton with egg white and then fold won ton into a triangular shape, covering the mixture.
4) Take a fork and press the edges of the won ton together.
5) Take the two outside corners of the won ton triangle and pinch together.
6) Take the granulated sugar and remaining dry brownie mix and combine in a small bowl to form the sugar coating for the outside of the won ton.
7) Heat the vegetable oil on medium heat until hot (about 5-10 minutes – you could also bake these, I just think frying them in the oil gives them that extra crunch and flavor)
8) Drop each won ton into the hot oil for about a minute, removing when won ton starts to become golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate.
9) Sprinkle the hot won tons with the brownie/sugar mixture.
10) Serve hot/warm!
A perfect quick and easy dessert for your next function! You could probably use regular Ricotta cheese as well for a richer flavor (I just happened to have the fat free in the fridge) I'd recommend serving warm and if they happen to get cold, you could toss them in the oven or microwave to warm them up.
Who said cheese from goats couldn't be delicious?

Cream have long been one of my all time favourite bands and in their short time together they released four studio albums with two containing live tracks. So just like a previous OPINION PIECE article where I ranked Beatles album, I thought I'd do the same with Cream. It's important to mention that the ranking is my opinion only. Let me know your thoughts.
Tag: eric clapton
OPINION PIECE #9: Top 10 Favourite Guitarists
As a guitarist myself I'm often thinking about my favourite guitarists and how my ranking seems to change depending on what kind of mood I'm in. I thought it'd be fun to put a top 10 list together. Remember, the key word here is favourite. Enjoy.
CLASSIC ALBUM SERIES #15: Eric Clapton – From The Cradle
For the 15th instalment of my CLASSIC ALBUM SERIES I turn to Eric Clapton's incredible 1994 album From The Cradle, an album which saw him return to electric blues with one hell of a bang. Two years earlier Clapton had recorded and released his Unplugged live album which contained a number of high quality acoustic blues performances and From The Cradle certainly expanded on his return to the blues.
Running Wide Open: An Interview With Bobby Whitlock
Recently I had the huge pleasure of interviewing Bobby Whitlock, one quarter of the legendary Derek and the Dominos, on his soon to be released new studio album Tornillo and upcoming tour. I interviewed Bobby for the first time back in 2012 and have spoken to him multiple times as I complete my biography on Derek and the Dominos, and speaking to him again on his new album and tour was a joy.
BOOTLEG SERIES #20: Cream – New Haven Arena, New Haven, CT, USA // 11th October 1968
For the 20th instalment of my BOOTLEG SERIES I return to one of my favourite bands of all time, Cream, a band who have been the focus of four previous instalments in this series. This show at New Haven Arena in New Havan, CT from the 11th October 1968 is one of the farewell shows the band played on their last tour of the United States and unlike many recordings from this tour, the band appear to be just getting through the show. That said there are countless great moments on each song and they're enjoyable to listen to.
Derek and the Dominos Book Update: December 2016
As 2016 comes to an end I want to again thank everyone for their constant love and support as I write my biography on Derek and the Dominos. I'm stunned by the amount of people who have been in touch with me this year and as a result the amount of unseen live photos of the band has doubled compared to this time last year. I hope to include as many of them in my book as possible.
The book is closer than ever to being published but more work needs to be done. I'm a person that thrives on things needing to be perfect and I wouldn't want to release the book early by cutting corners and not making it as good as it deserves to be. I'm pouring everything I have into the book and I'm so excited for everyone to read it. There's never been a book on Derek and the Dominos as detailed and in-depth as the book I am writing.
Thank you to EVERYONE who follows my Facebook and Twitter pages, thank you for your constant interactions on posts and debates. You're all amazing and this book is for YOU.

Peer Pressure 2.0: Farmville
I have to admit, I'm afraid to try Farmville. After only recently escaping from a (delightful, if) crippling addiction to Plants vs. Zombies, I have learned not to casually dismiss the pull of "casual games." With more monthly users than twitter (!), the cutesy facebook game Farmville appears to be the grandaddy of them all. Mark Newheiser at Gamasutra provided some analysis of the design features that have made the game a success. Here are some salient bits:
Farmville exists with a very different business model than most video games: you don't pay by the month to play it, you don't even shell out a one-time payment to play: you play for free, and then the game tries to sell you in-game perks and a chance to skip the grind to unlock all of the game's content by spending money rather than time.
Farmville locks you out of some content unless you have enough friends playing Farmville with you, and having friends in your network playing Farmville is a reliable source of coins, experience, and gifts, the main resources of the game.
The game is also more than happy to bribe players for participating in its viral spread: cute lonely animals will show up on your farm periodically and as a player you face a dilemma in sentencing them to virtual abandonment and death unless you post on your Facebook wall that you need one of your friends to start playing Farmville and "adopt" the adorable little self-promoter.
The genius in how Farmville has succeed in getting so many people addicted comes down to how it handles commitments on a player's time: every time you play Farmville and plant a crop, you're making a commitment to come back during a 12 hour window or so to harvest your crop, or else you forfeit your investment.
There's some more surprising and clever stuff that has been baked into the social design of the game, but even the points above would seem to make for an addictive (and viral) experience.
nGenera just hosted a conference in Memphis (kudos to FedEx for graciously hosting it at their World Technology Center) where I gave a presentation on gamers as employees and customers. I argue that gamers are more than a bit self-interested, and are focused on generating smart, efficient solutions to problems that let them sail through the rest of the game with relative ease and speed. Gamers also want to feel engaged with their virtual worlds, and in certain cases have emotional connections with in-game characters and the game itself.
Farmville seems to have taken these constructs to a new level, allowing gamers to pay (real money) for tools that speed them towards completion and give them competitive advantage, and putting gamers in situations where their emotional involvement with the game is leveraged to encourage friends to start playing (and spending their own money for in-game advantages).
While writing this post I've had the facebook connect installation screen sitting in a background tab in my browser, I think I have to go try the game out for the sake of research. Are there any Wikinomics readers who play the game? What do you think of it? What should I expect?
Hopefully I won't get completely swallowed up, and will post again soon!

My wife talked me into playing Farmville. The challenge to me has been to spend no hard money (currency) nor soft money (filling out forms for virtual currency).
As a result, I've been able to accumulate millions of coins, regular crops, and many of the animals and buildings that generally result in accumulation of more coins. This is getting to the point of diminishing returns, now, so I'm not sure how much longer I will continue.
If I were designing the game to be more interesting (to me), I would allow those who accumulate large amounts of coins to start banks and loan it to others. Also, you can "help" one another in very limited ways. I would allow other players to harvest crops and so on for other players.
I'll be interested in seeing your follow up on the game.
I've been in FarmVille for a couple of months now and I'm enjoying it. Yes, there's an inherent commitment to return regularly, but it's not as bad as some other Facebook games. I don't fall for the cash-for-extras offers – of all the games I play on Facebook, and I'm a bit abashed to admit how many, I haven't spent any money on them. As you advance in the games, you can adjust your level of participation. In Farmville, for example, crops will ripen anywhere from 2 hours later to 60 hours later. Of course, the longer term crops are the ones you get access to as you advance. All of the games seem to give you the shorter term items to get you to come back more frequently at the beginning. I'm playing three farm games, and they each have their own charms and quirks. Farmville's animals are more interactive than the others I'm in – you can "harvest" them, and you can pet most of them, and they react to being petted. I find that an attractive feature, personally, because I like critters in general.
All things considered, Farmville isn't the most time-absorbing game on Facebook. If you try it, have fun with it – and add me as a neighbor.

Just a little post to share an amazing tool : Farmer Extreme Manager.
Perfect to dominate FarmVille for free
One thing people seem to forget is the amount of information this company gets from players and their friends and sells it. The thing is information people would normally not give out is freely given in Facebook games such as Farmville.
You think it is bad now? wait until phones start using flash and people can play farmvill even when they are away from their computers. I'm not ready for my facbook to be flooded with "facbook user just gave facebook user a cow" lol
I only wanted to drop you a short note to let you know that I really enjoy your blog. Thanks! Keep on the good work
If only people spent the amount of time they do playing games like Farmville on actually working to collaborate on and develop sustainable crops, livestock and farming methods, as well as sustainable buildings and other designs, we would all be in a much better place.
farmville is the best game ever and this is the best blog post!
i am also play Farmville. i am keeping enjoy with it, i like Farmville then other facebook game
I played farmville and its really addictive. I had my current tab on my work and another on facebook farmville, I wonder how do zynga made money out of this game.
im on facebook but ive never played the games. My reasons: i have an actual life lol. Seriously though there's something very wrong with intelligent grown ups playing time wasting games. Reminds me of when everyone was playing snake on their mobile phones, does anyone remember that? I agree with Whitney Parks's comment and i urge you all farmville addicts to make an effort to control yourselves..
I played farmville due to peer pressure but it sux big time. It so stupid I wanted to punch the developers in the face for making it! Its great for kids I must admit but its also bad as it gets young kids too involved and on computer for hours.

Physicians' Warnings to Unfit Drivers May Reduce Emergency Department Visits for Accidents
DynaMed Weekly Update - Volume 7, Issue 42
Read the complete Weekly Update/earn CME credit
A number of medical conditions may limit a patient's ability to safely drive an automobile and may increase the risk of accidents. However, placing limits on the driving may affect the patient's quality of life and many patients are reluctant to give up driving voluntarily. One approach to reduce injurious accidents caused by these drivers is for primary care physicians to issue warnings to patients judged unfit to drive. Previous research has been inconclusive on the benefits and costs of such warnings, and concern has been expressed for the effect of warnings on the patient-doctor relationship. A program for providing driving warnings has been in use in Ontario, Canada since 1968. A recent cohort study analyzed data from 100,075 consecutive patients who received such warnings since 2006.
Patients ≥ 18 years old (57% male) who received a medical warning from a physician judging them to be potentially unfit to drive due to a medical condition were assessed for emergency department visits over 2 time periods: a baseline period consisting of the 3 years prior to the warning, and a 1-year follow-up period after the warning was issued. Medical conditions for which patients received warnings included alcoholism, epilepsy, dementia, sleep disorder, fainting or dizziness, stroke, diabetes, and depression without psychosis. Most of the warnings (98%) were preemptive coming before the driver experienced a road crash resulting in an emergency room visit. A total of 6,098 physicians participated in the program.
Rates of emergency department visits were compared for the baseline and follow-up periods. Visits due to road crashes in which the patient was a driver were significantly reduced following the warning (4.76 per 1,000 person-years during baseline vs. 2.73 per 1,000 person-years during follow-up, p < 0.001) (level 2 [mid-level] evidence). However, the rate of accident-related visits during follow-up remained higher than the general population rate of 1.98 per 1,000 person-years during the same period (no p value reported). Furthermore, the rate of emergency visits for depression increased significantly during follow-up (19.15 vs. 23.91 per 1,000 person-years, p < 0.05). In addition, the warnings may have weakened the patient-doctor relationship. During the follow-up period, the number of return visits to the primary care physician who issued the warning dropped by about 0.66 visits per patient compared to the previous year (no p value reported) (N Engl J Med 2012 Sep 27;367(13):1228).
