I found condensed milk! It was in the Thai food section of the grocery store and I had to pay $4 for a small can, but at this point... The supermarket did have about 8 different kinds of evaporated milk in cans -- nonfat, 2%, house brand, Carnation, etc. -- and priced reasonably at about $2 a can, but condensed was exotic apparently.
Another thing that surprised me about Toronto was turkey. In the states, turkey parts and ground turkey have become ubiquitous and I'd developed quite a few recipes based on cheap ground turkey. The supermarkets in the downtown area here very occasionally have it -- very occasionally -- but it's an arm and a leg, price-wise.
On the other hand, every market, even the questionable corner ones, have 3-6 year old cheddar that is just outstanding and very reasonably priced.
It's true about the turkey and it's delightfully true about the wonderful cheddar.
I cannot imagine where you are shopping that you can't find condensed milk and that you pay so much for it. I currently have in my stock three kinds: Perfection, Eagle and one more: Compliments which is a brand carried by FreshCo, Sobey's and Foodland. There can't be a grocery store in Peterborough (90 miles east and somewhat north of Toronto) which doesn't carry condensed milk. In the baking section. I am floored by your nearly fruitless search.

When people dream about the future of driving, they picture hundreds of millions of cars humming almost imperceptibly on batteries or fuel cells, their power plants emitting water vapor or nothing. Rarely does petroleum fuel—and foul—the green fantasy.
But don't let that vision distract you from reality. Although the world's biggest automakers are determined to bring electrified cars to the masses, their real business—and the world's business—will continue to revolve around the internal combustion engine for decades to come. The signs are accumulating: Morgan Stanley now projects that just 4.5 percent of new cars sold in 2025 will be EVs, sharply down from its previous estimate of 8.6 percent.
Yet change is afoot, change that heralds the remaking of the invention that first began to put the world on wheels about 120 years ago. Most notable over the past year has been the remarkable rise of the turbocharger, as makers from Motown to Munich have begun adopting turbocharging and even supercharging to radically downsize engines, boost fuel economy, and cut pollution—usually without sacrificing anything in power or drivability.
This year's list shows turbocharging up and down the line, from a Japanese hatchback to a British supercar. Of course, the list has a few EVs and hybrids also; as always, our emphasis is on interesting new technology, not just the market share that it commands for now.

Ice climbing expedition report from Arc'athletes Matthias Scherer and Tanja Schmitt:
"We wake up at 5:30am and it's very cold in the van. Minus twelve degrees Celsius – perfect for our climb, but a little bit cold for a nice breakfast. Outside is utter darkness. The wall is only to be seen because it is even darker. After some steps from the car we can see the gleaming ice as it splits up the big black lower face. There is only a little snow and lots of ice on the ground, which makes the approach tricky.
The first thing we discover in the light of our headlamps is the first pitch not being in. This was not visible from the road. So in the twilight of the dawn I am starting to scratch on granite slabs seeking for a way up to the terrace from where the ice starts. Finally by a delicate traverse on grade 4 rock without any protection for 30m, I gain the terrace and put up a belay on good ice.
Tanja is going right away in the first pitch. She runs out nearly 70m and the ice is good – wet but not detached. Next pitch already looks not so good. There are numerous small icicles glued together and I have to be extra careful not to hit Tanja. After 60m, I place my belay and there is now a lot of water and very bad ice in front of us. Tanja chooses to bypass the easier but insane wet ice on the right by a steeper pillar and seconding, I realize how bad the ice quality is. Just icicles loosely connected.
After this 70m pitch, we go up a short snow couloir to another 70m high pitch. The view from the top of this pitch up to the headwall is breathtaking. Some snow climbing brings us closer. We decide to attack on the right and to put up a belay in a cave behind the freestanding pillar of the next pitch. Difficult to understand in this dimensions, if our 70m ropes will be long enough or not.
Tanja is climbing up in this vastness. The rope is running through my ATC and again I have to simul a little bit till she can reach a safe spot for a belay. The ice consists out of layers of bad ice and is treacherous. 75m of delicate climbing are again behind us.
I am going in the next pitch. It will be something like the crux pitch, but on a big line like this, the word crux becomes relative. Still it looks very serious. I climb up a freestanding pillar. The ice of the pillar is some of the worst I have ever climbed but I enjoy this challenge. Only icicles with snow in between makes every placement very tricky.
I climb higher and higher and still no sight of good ice. I love this feeling of freedom and focus in the moment. Next move – careful cleaning, scratching, and kicking til it feels good. Finally, after 20m, I place my first screw – a bad one. I traverse over vertical snow to the left and gain better ice. Here, a good screw. Then it goes up for 30m on vertical ice – still not super solid, but less freaky than the start of the pitch.
On a nice balcony after 65m, I put up my belay. Tanja is following and due to her wet gloves she has a hard time with cold fingers. So she takes a fresh dry pair out of the pack and goes on. 70 m of less steep but still bad ice in a traverse to the right is the next pitch. From Tanja's belay we look up and the top of the headwall is still far away. But the day is not over yet.
The sun is going down and colors the right side of the climb in a magical red. I am racing up the next pitch - at least the first few meters. Then I have to slow down. This pitch looked easy, but now the Freakshow is on again. The higher part of this pitch is a freestanding hanging curtain only 50cm thick. With delicate moves I get over the next 15m – no option for protection here and like everywhere on this line no place for mistakes. I reach a safe spot after 65m in a good cave and set up my belay.
Its getting dark. I realize where we are - very high up in a very scary place. But I am confident. Tanja and I are in good shape and the morale was good over the whole day. So I wait for Tanja to come up. But she is not coming. I wait some minutes more – still nothing. I am yelling down – no answer. This is not good. Normally she is super fast seconding. Then, with a relief I feel that she moves . But slow. When she reaches my belay we are nearly in the dark. She looks cold. A piece of ice had hit her badly on the shoulder while I was leading.
We take our headlamps and Tanja decides to go for the next pitch. At least we want to finish the headwall. A sip of tea, some food and we are both fine again. In the dark, I follow up Tanja's pitch, that she has led in astounding speed. When I reach her I see it – a short snow couloir and then in the wonderful night sky, the intimidating curtain of the last pitch. We look each other in the eye and without a word, I go up the snow. We both know that we have to finish this now.
Behind the curtain, I install a good belay. My thoughts are working – we have to go down later here – I need to be fit for the descent – at least 10 big raps and down climbing – a lot can happen –- I need to be very concentrated.
Tanja is so motivated – amazing after her hard time earlier. I feel that it's best when she goes up the last pitch. She seems to feel the same and with astonishing optimism she is gone in the dark. I see the light of her headlamp shimmering through from behind the curtain. She is climbing fast and soon I hear: BELAY!!!
I am slightly cold. It is maybe -20 now and the first moves feel bad. Over the cone, I come up to the curtain and I see that Tanja went smartly to the right of this monster where the ice is better. The snow-icicle mixture here is very delicate to climb. On the belay we hug each other. We did it – 1300m of climbing and nearly 1000m in elevation are behind us.
We both know that even more fun starts now. Its 7:30 pm and it will be a long night. The moon enlightens a cold, black sky and a slight, steady wind is blowing. In the warmth of our belay jackets, we start the descent. V-thread after V-thread we are working our way down. Pitch after pitch. Then the down climbing and more V -threads till finally at 3am we are back down and very happy. With hot chocolate and tea we are all happy in the Van in our sleeping bags. A long day comes to an end – a great one!!!"

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
During my years at the Kauffman Foundation I have seen firsthand the effect that education can have on the development of entrepreneurs and their companies. The entrepreneurs with whom I have worked have taken the lessons they have learned and applied them to great effect in their endeavors as founders. These entrepreneurs benefited from opportunities to learn critical skills, and from gaining an understanding of crucial decisions or junctures that often can derail entrepreneurial businesses.
In a matter of weeks colleges and universities across the country will be teeming with students. A new school year will bring the excitement of new discovery, opportunities to meet new people, and the anticipation of learning. On these campuses students will also find a vast array of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.

AT&T's Acquisition of T-Mobile
Wireless telephone giant AT&T, in a bold attempt to reshape the wireless market, unveiled a mega deal over the weekend to acquire rival T-Mobile USA for $39 billion, marking the largest transaction of the year.
Inflation Drives Up Grocery Prices
In a clear indication of the times, economists predict that the odious tide of inflation will continue to ravage the U.S. economy, as the price of groceries and gasoline continues to soar.
Federal Reserve Policies Drive Up Gas Prices
As inflation continues to rear its ugly head, one of the most pressing and ominous side effects of the country's inflationary spiral is the rapid and sustained increase in gas prices.
Citigroup Settles With SEC Over Fraud Allegations
Citigroup has agreed to pay $285 million to settle civil fraud charges that it misled buyers of complex mortgage investments just as the housing market was starting to collapse. The Securities and Exchange Commission brought forth the civil action against Citigroup, claiming that investors who bought into the deal (which involved, essentially, stuffing portfolios with risky mortgage — related investments, selling it to unsuspecting customers, and then betting against those investments) had been defrauded. The transaction involved a one-billion dollar portfolio of mortgage-related investments, many of which were handpicked for the portfolio by Citigroup without telling investors of its role or that it had made bets that the investments would fall in value. The SEC says that as investors lost millions, Citigroup made $160 million in fees and profits.
A Critique of Herman Cain's 9-9-9 Tax Plan
Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain's popularity in numerous polls is increasing daily, and while the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza may portray himself as a principled conservative, an analysis of his campaign positions, especially his most controversial flat tax proposal, reveals serious concerns with Cain's commitment to fiscal conservatism.
Justice Dept, Sprint Launch Antitrust Suit Against AT&T
In response to AT&T's proposed acquisition of mobile carrier T-Mobile for $39 billion, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it would be bringing suit against AT&T on the grounds the wireless giant is in violation of federal antitrust laws.
Real Conservatives Oppose NAFTA
One of the most important, but widely unknown bills currently proposed in Congress is legislation that would end American participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The bill, H.R. 4759, calls for America's withdrawal from the free trade agreement, and is sponsored by several Democrats and a small cadre of Republicans, including Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Rep. Walter B. Jones (R- N.C.).
Congress Passes Obama's "Free Trade" Package
In stealth succession on Wednesday evening, both the House and Senate approved three so-called free trade agreements with South Korea, Panama, and Colombia. The Obama administration claims that the three pacts will boost exports by $13 billion and result in the creation of tens of thousands of American jobs.
Congress: Hearings Show Widespread Islamic Radicalization in U.S. Prisons
The House Homeland Security Committee Wednesday conducted its second hearing on Islamic radicalization in the United States. Under the leadership of Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y., left), the committee hearing focused specifically on processes of radical Islamic proselytizing in the American prison system.
King stressed that there "is no doubt" that fanatical Islamists are trying to radicalize U.S. prison inmates. And he castigated the "vacuous morons" at the New York Times and elsewhere who contend that his hearings are politically incorrect. King made the comments on MSNBC's Morning Joe Thursday, the day after he convened the second in a set of hearings into the radical Islamist threat in the United States.
FCC to Officially Scrap Fairness Doctrine
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced Wednesday that they are abandoning the so-called Fairness Doctrine, an FCC policy introduced in 1949 which requires the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was, in the Commission's view, honest, equitable and balanced. Congress backed the policy in 1954, and by the 1970s the FCC called the doctrine the "single most important requirement of operation in the public interest — the sine qua non for grant of a renewal of license."

Re: which kenwood mixer
Not the small handheld one with the cord that wraps around the base. The cord gets bent and stops working. I have a kenwood stand mixer, it's about 10 years old - chef junior was the model name. It's not heavy duty enough for anything but mixing cakes. I think I'll go for a kitchen aid next time.

Re: which kenwood mixer
In a magazine i got recently there was an ad for a couple of different models and the kitchen aid was only about $50 or 60 more than the fancy end kenwood. My sister has a kitchen aid and does a lot of baking and loves it. I know someone with the chef version of the one i have with all the attachments and they use it fairly regularly. It is a tough choice.

Online Reservations
Wait staff was excellent. We had salmon/filet/pork chop entrees and all were excellent. The ice cream sandwiches were a great end to the meal.
First timer to Brix..Our son had given us a gift voucher over a year ago and we finally found our way to Brix last weekend from the SF Bay Area....What a fabulous experience from the beautiful grounds all the way through to the impeccable service a truly remarkable experience...Not to mention the Brunch offerings were out of this world and prepared to perfection...This is truly a "don't miss" destination while in the Napa Valley
If you are in the area, eat at Brix. We have only tried their Sunday Brunch so far, but intend on returning for their dinner in the VERY near future! The service was impeccable, we felt at home right away. We were seated at 11:15 for the brunch and we did not leave until well after 2:30 after taking a stroll through their garden and retiring to their wonderful seated lounge area in the garden area. The food was wonderful and the variety was very good. I heard people making special orders, so I don't think that anyone would be left out. My husband is a vegetarian and I am allergic to wheat and lactose, but we both found PLENTY of yummy food to fill our bellies! ENJOY!
A lovely celebration brunch for my friend's 50th b-day last Sunday. The Host gave us a warm welcome and sat us immediately. We where seated outside and it was a lovely day. The food was wonderful, presentation and taste. Both the Bus Boy and the Seafood server where attentive and nice. It took a while for our server to come explain the brunch service. We had to wave him down for various things that we needed. 1 time is was for the silverware. We sat there watching our food get cold aw he motioned to us that he was coming but took a while. Odd we weren't offered coffee or tea after declining alcoholic beverages. He was bit better at the end. Didn't return w/my change so I had to "hunt" him down to let him know we where leaving.
The service was what really stood out for me. Everybody was available and attentive without being on your shoulder all of the time. We asked for 2 wine recomendations white & red giving a budget of uptp $60 for each. The wine mgr listened to the type of wine we liked and food order. He recomendedwines at $40 and $65. Both were excellent. We asked for a winery recomendation, understanding our wine choice he recomended Saintsburys. Thier Pinot Noirs are excellent offered in an informal at a relaxed pace -perfect (you need to book). The food was simple and good. Shrimps huge perfectly cooked and shared. The steak cooked exactly as ordered and the cut of Lamb I had never heard of before rare and tender dark so cannot comment on gardens
Brix provides a beautiful outdoor setting for lunch overlooking the garden and vineyards and looking out to the hills of Napa. The setting is beautiful and serene. Service was very friendly and attentive.
Food was fantastic and the outdoor patio was beautiful. Service was timely and accommodative.
Wonderful ambiance. Reasonably priced food. Excellent service!
The setting for Brix in Yountville could not be better. The view from the patio dining area showcases the gardens at the height of their bounty. Beyond are the vineyards with the vibrant colors of fall. The setting is gorgeous. The personal attention was outstanding. Our food was beautiful and very creative. In particular two of our party ordered the salmon poached in olive oil for a salad. Bright beautiful presentation and outstanding flavors!!! We had an Open Table reservation, on a very busy Saturday and were seated immediately. We love being treated like VIPs. The guests without reservations were lined up outside the doors. A big hit with everyone!
We had an absolutely wonderful meal at Brix. The staff was extremely friend and the food beyond expectations. The Kellerher wines that were paired with our meal were wonderful as well. This is a "must go to" restaurant during a Napa visit!
Table looking directly into kitchen with most of the restaurant empty not so good. Beautiful garden view behind us also not so good. Waitress very good and prompt. My chili rubbed chicken was 8/10. Wife's pork chop was medium rare. Sorry although this may be cutting edge, we still can't eat pork like this. Was sent back without problem. Everything ok after. Would return
BRIX continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in the Valley
We love the changing menu at Brix, always something new to try each season. We had the vegetable plate to start, roasted veggies over frisée in a vinaigrette....I couldn't get enough of the broccoli rabe! The soup was a smoked chicken corn chowder, which had a perfect balance of smoke and salt to counteract the sweet of the corn. My dinner partner was close to licking the bones on his chili -rubbed chicken. My ravioli was great comfort food, in a buttery sauce. We couldn't get to dessert, though the choices were tempting. The gardens in the view out the window were lovely, and a perfect setting for a wedding party we saw. Brie does not disappoint!
Our group thoroughly enjoyed our lunch this past Saturday! Booked the reservation on-line, which was very easy...great food, ambience, service! Looking forward to our next visit and enjoy some of your fine wines! They even recognized my Birthday and made it fun!
Saturday night in Napa Valley is not an easy time to get a reservation at a top restaurant. We got an 8:30 and had a memorable meal. Food was outstanding with quality ingredients, well prepared, generous portions, and fine presentation. There is an extensive wine list by the bottle and an acceptable list by the glass. Prices are reasonable. Service was good, but not up to the food standards. Although not inexpensive, there was excellent value. We've had meals at similar quality restaurants that ran 30% or more. In fact, Brix will undoubtedly be in my top five for next year's Zagat evaluations and I look forward to future visits.
Don't miss the adult ice cream sandwiches either. Good value for the area too.
This time we took two other couples with us and everyone raved about their meals. The pizza appetizer was delicious and perfectly sized for 6 people. Two of us had the pork chop that was wonderfully brined, flavorful and fork tender. The steak and the beef tender was perfectly cooked and seasoned for two more and the fish was perfectly done. The wine list is a good representation of the Napa Valley. We finished off the meal with lemon meringue pie and an ice cream sandwich that were both unique and delicious.
We read the reviews online regarding Brix and added it to our weekend agenda. I booked several months in advance and requested outside seating on the patio. It was a highlight of our trip! The grounds outside were stunning. We could not stop taking pictures and found ourselves not wanting to leave. Our waiter suggested we eat for a little while then take a break and walk around before going back for more. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable morning.
We were there with a party of six. Very nice dining room. Server was eccentric but great. Food very good. Had a wonderful evening.
First time to Napa and this place was recommended by several people. It did not disappoint. Beautiful views, outstanding food and very friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. Well worth the visit.
We arrived early and the hostess with the pink dress was extremely gracious. We sat at bar until our table was ready. Nice ambiance at bar. Friendly bartender. Seated at table near windows to terrace. Our waitress was exceptional. She advised on food, wine, vineyards in the area. Food was great. I had Petite Steak. My wife had salmon. Even better food than our food at Bouchon the following night. Would recommend Brix!!
Very fine lunch for special occasions. Slightly pricey but worth it. Service outstanding!
We went here for our wedding anniversary. The place was quiet and fancier than it looked online (though we were dressed pretty casual). Our server was great, very attentive and helpful. Appetizers (oysters and shrimp) were great. Entrees (chile rubbed chicken and linguine & clams) were good. The apple tart dessert was a little difficult to cut, but they wrote "Happy Anniversary" on it in chocolate which was really cute. Overall, great service, no problems.
Food was fresh and flavorful, service was good, but slower than I expected for a lunch service. Server was verbally "miffed" that we did not order dessert or coffee and I did not appreciate the attitude.... Gorgeous view from the patio. We arrived just prior to a tour bus, so be sure to make a reservation.
Unfortunately when I made the reservation it did not specify that you needed to request to sit out on the porch. Despite their being open tables on the porch throughout the night, it took asking three times before we got to sit where we wanted to. Once they moved us, everything was spectacular! They wrote my girlfriend a handwritten note for her birthday and "happy birthday" in chocolate on her dessert. I would highly recommend, but just let others know they need to request to sit outside (if it is nice of course). Otherwise there are plenty of better "foodie" options in the Napa region that have better indoor atmospheres.
I loved everything about Brix, it was an amazing experience. I took my girlfriend for our seven year anniversary and I couldn't have asked for a better restaurant. The service was very polite and knowledgeable of their wine list, which helped us order one of their bottles of Merlot from 2008 which was divine. There wasn't a lot of people in there on Halloween night, which helped with the noise level, but I the set up of the tables and chairs was spread out and very spacious. The food was exceptional! We ended up splitting a salad and the pork chop which was fantastic. We also got a order of French fries, which were good, but maybe the money is better spent on something else.
We went for lunch since I had to work that evening. We will definitely be back for dinner.The waiter was very nice and funny; definitely added to our experience. We started with the autumn vegetable tempura which was the best I have ever had, even from a japanese restaurant! The Wagyu Corned Beef sandwich was also amazing. They make their own pickles! The garden is so beautiful, even though we ate inside we could still enjoy it through the window. They have a Sunday Brunch which we are longing to try also.So worth the drive up to Yountville!
Have been to twice, most recently 11-1-13. Excellent in every category. Nice bar with good service and a just -talkative-enough bartender. Dinner portions were sufficient, not overwhelming, and the options were varied. Our party of 4 chose off of all of the menu (appetizers, salad, light fare, main dish, dessert, beef, lamb,and seafood), and all were excellent. Got a bottle of The Prisoner zinfandel, which was great. Will go to again.
We have friends who travel to Napa regularly and they recommended Brix. We were not disappointed. They have a very diverse menu - the food and service was very good!
Hadn't been to Brix for a number of years as while I loved the fusion PanAsia influence the menu once had, my husband wasn't fond of it. He likes it now. It appears they did a total revamp of the dining room as well. The food was good expecially the pork chop. I had the linguini with clams and although I asked the waitress if I could have the pasta Al Dente and she did check with the chef and came back and said yes, what she didn't tell me what that the pasta was home made. Anyone who is familiar with home made pasta knows that you can never get it al dente as it is soft going into the water. It was tasty.
I highly recommend this restaurant has the ambiance, friendly and helpful staff, and the wonderful food. I had for brunch on several occasions and I'm considering trying the restaurant for possibly a dinner in the near future. I like the fact that most, if not all the produce served is grown I and harvested by the Resturant.
Twice now, we capped our weekend in Napa with brunch at Brix. With incredible views of their gardens and vineyard, there is no better place to enjoy mimosas and one of the best assortments of brunch items. They offer incredible selections from an artfully arranged raw bar, pastries, charcuterie and local cheese options, truffled deviled eggs, pasta dishes, fresh fruit, and many traditional breakfast and lunch items. We have also dined at Brix for an outstanding dinner experience. If you are looking for a romantic location day or night, Brix should be high on the list when in the Napa area.
Couple miles north of Yountville! we got a ride to this place. Nicely decorated, great location. Menu is a great combination of complex and pricey entrees with plainer more approachable items. My wife had sole with lentils and roasted vegetables and I had a brick over prosciutto pizza. Both were excellent. Great service, our waitress was fabulous. Not busy at all on a Monday in early Nivember but I understand that weekends in season will be hopping, Great place after 4 nights in Yountville to decompress on the vineyard and high end foodie restaurants, really had a great time.
If you are visiting Napa, then plan to end your visit here. Great food, perfect location, and good atmosphere. Oh, the food is awesome.
I am so glad we came here when we could not secure a reservation at Mustard Grill. This one turns out to be perfect. I think it may even be slightly better than MG. Definitely will return.
We had a great meal at F.A.R.M. at the Carneros Inn. The menu was somewhat limited but all of the choices looked amazing. There was a lovely prix fixe tasting menu but it was a bit pricey ($170 with wines) and it was required for all in the party to order it. That being said, my lobster and preserved lemon risotto starter was delicious and Jidori Chicken main with root vegetables was very tasty. The atmosphere is quite trendy and lively and the outdoor bar area with fire pits looked like an amazing place to hang out. As a fine dining waiter in a prior life, I would say the service was perfectly executed, and the expeditor monitored each table's status through the windows in the open kitchen.
Brix has knowledgeable, friendly & unpretentious staff, great food, and nice ambience. It's lodgy but not rustic--seemed appropriate for where its located. The food was terrific--short ribs are definitely recommended as they're reportedly cooked sous vide for 12 hours resulting in a ridiculously tender, tasty treat. The beet salad was perfect, as was the entree accompaniment of roasted marbled potatoes. My fiancée thought the menu could have been more expansive, but I found the range of offerings to be satisfactory - both in terms of price and food options. Prices ranged from a $15 cheesburger and pizzas to a $30+ entree of roasted leg of lamb. Poultry, fish, pork, beef, lamb & vegetarian offerings comprise the entree choices.
The brunch at Brix is always an extraordinary treat for just $42.50 per person. I love the seafood bar, their cold-cuts with a home-made pate, their selection of cheeses, their salads and desserts. I usually skip their meat and warm food section, not because it is not to the level but, because I like to focus on the other offerings. The reception, the service and the cooks are all wonderful and contribute to a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. I have been to Brix quite often already and highly recommend this culinary and scenic treat for family events, to introduce friends to the Napa Winecountry, or just for that very special Sunday morning.
One of the best meals i've ever had. Soup was to die for, pork belly appetizer was delish, and the short ribs i'd order again and again. Love this restaurant.
Had reservations for 8:30 pm, Then me and my husband decided to go earlier and they were able to accomodate us (thanks to off peak season!). We were seated inside, ambiance was romantic, the room had a classy feel to it. Service was great! Food was excellent, worth every dollar spent. The mushroom bisque was so good!! Will definitely recommend to friends and would deginitely come back if ever we are in Napa again. Location was great as well... Located in the Old Napa Mill. :) wish we had them in Los Angeles. :)
The pork belly was the clear favorite at our table. Our server was excellent as well.
We had a great time. Both our entrees were very good. But the pork belly appetizer was the absolutely BOMB. We could each have 4 orders and be done. Get it while you can. We were told it's not always on the menu.
I have been to Brix twice and both experiences were amazing! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional! We will continue going back!
Certainly a terrific restaurant pick to celebrate our 20-year wedding anniversary!
Great food with outstanding wine pairings. Pecan pie with paired dessert wine is delicious!
my lamb shank was not what I expected it was cut into medallions not the meat on the bone shank that I thought. the rest of our food was great.
We have been to Brix many times. We have had Christmas Eve and Thanksgiving Dinners at Brix, bites at the Bar and lunches and they have all been delicious. I am however partial to there Sunday Brunch. So if you have only one time to go to Brix.. go for Sunday Brunch.
Overall, our experience was a good one. We've been going to Napa for years, but never went to Brix because we felt it was too much of a tourist spot. The food was good. The menu as has been mentioned in previous posts is limited, but decent. Our main complaint was we felt service was very slow. I would have understood that more if it was crowded, however it was not. We only ordered a salad and a main dish and our time there was well over 2 hours.
I love this resturant and highly recommend it. I always take first time visitors here and always think of BRIX first when wondering where I should go when I wan to go out.
Everything is top notch, food, ambiance, service is excellent.

Found: HMAS Sydney lifeboats
The search team that found the wreck of HMAS Sydney has located some of the light cruiser's lifeboats.
HMAS Sydney was destroyed in a gun battle with the German raider Kormoran on November 19, 1941 with the loss of all 645 crew.
Last week, the Finding Sydney Foundation released the first photographs of the wreck lying on the bottom of the Indian Ocean almost 2.5 kilometres below the surface.
The photographs prompted many to ask what happened to the lifeboats.
Photographs released today show some of HMAS Sydney's lifeboats lying on the bottom of the ocean not far from the wreck.
The curator of Maritime Archaeology at the West Australian Museum Michael McCarthy says the photographs are striking.
"To me, seeing the frames and the remaining ghostly strakes of planking on the carvel vessels was one of the most striking images of my archaeological career", he said.

Elementary Education BA majors at Lesley University gain experience with children of different ages and a variety of curricula, organizational studies, and grouping strategies characteristic of the elementary school.
Students complete a one-day practicum in their first and second year. The senior practicum contains a semester-long experience in Elementary Education within the 1-6 grade range.
Elementary Education undergraduate majors may pursue optional specializations, which provide in-depth study in the teaching of a specific subject or population. Specializations are designed to enhance a student's professional qualifications, but do not require the acquisition of additional licenses. These specializations include:
The linking of theory and practice, begun in the student's freshman year, is continued with a focus on the elementary school curriculum. Students develop an understanding of the philosophical and historical foundations of education, which have influenced the nature of schools today. The academic, social, and emotional needs of all children are considered as Elementary Education majors learn to plan and teach effective lessons that meet the developmental needs of all learners. An interdisciplinary unit of study is also designed, which can be taught in their field settings. Students also learn to reflect critically about their effectiveness and to redesign teaching approaches. A field experience of one day a week for approximately 12 weeks of the semester is integrated into the course.

LANSING (AP) -- A judge has upheld most aspects of a new law requiring Michigan public school employees to pay more for their pensions.
MLive.com reports Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina on Thursday rejected broader challenges from teachers unions that the law is rife with unconstitutional provisions and contract violations. Her ruling mostly supports arguments from Republicans including Gov. Rick Snyder.
An appeal is likely.
Aquilina in September had granted an injunction in the case after Snyder signed legislation requiring public school employees to pay more for pensions and ending state-provided health coverage in retirement for new hires. The legislation had required a decision from teachers by late October.
Also Thursday, to satisfy the judge's concerns, the Legislature moved to set a Jan. 9 deadline for teachers to make a decision.

By maggie

Just like the 'LBD', a bolero (in black) can be wornwith just about ANYTHING. A 'dressy' alternative totaking a wrap to wear with a sleeveless/short sleevedress.Very practical.This particular bolero is justthe right weight & style.
Lovely Bolero
By Liz the Shopper
from NORTH YORK
This is a really nice bolero. I wear it with a top in the same shade in jade as well as some other colours. The material is soft and easy-care.I loved it so much that I ordered the Plum as well.Great price as its on sale now.
A little disappointed
By Front desk chick
from Hamilton On
Was excited to receive dress. Put it on and am keeping it. However also bought bolero and the die lots were not the same. I ordered the purple dress and even my husband who is colour blind noticed they were different. I am returning bolero but keeping dress as I have a white bolero I can wear with it.
Tiana B. Bolero
By Ada
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I use the bolero for wearing it with severalshort-sleeve or sleeveless tops and dresses.The aqua colour goes great with many differentcoloured outfits. The material is light andnot clinging and therefore cool to wear.No negative comments.
Nice bolero
By Marnie
from DARTMOUTH
This bolero is great to go with the cowl dress!!It fits really well in the arms-not too tight of a fit!It is rather a thin fabric but is fine to match the dress!The coral color is fantastic for the summer!!

I bought this ring to go with my engagment ring and i love it!!!!! good choice! and i am very picky!
The ring is smaller than what the pictures depics but looks even classier in person. I combined the ring with a plain band that is the same width and they look great together. - Happy customer :)
I bought this ring as a graduation gift & after seeing itbin person i have considered buying myself one too. She wears it as a right hand ring & it looks beautiful. The diamonds go further around the sides then I thought they would which is great because it appears to be an eternity band at first glance. Looks like I paid a whole lot more money than I really did. I would do it all over again.
I may have misunderstood what the description said, but I was a bit disappointed with the ring when I received it. I think it would have been cute as a fun extra ring. I was planning on using it as my wedding band and really wasn't that impressed when I got it. I decided to return it and purchase something in person.
The engagement ring my son went with was great and really stands out. Wanted a simple wedding band to go with it. The stones are very, very small but it will work fine with his engagement ring. Sometimes you get this huge engagement ring and then a huge wedding ring and it's a little too much for my taste. I felt this was a subtle way to have a wedding ring without overpowering the engagement ring.
The ring is pretty. Very pretty. There isn't really anything wrong with the product. I just expected it to be different. I was expecting a little bit bigger diamonds and to be able to actually see each individual diamond. The diamonds are so small, that you need a magnifying glass to see them individually. When you see them, it looks like a dusting or shimmer of diamonds. Like I said, very pretty but I just want something a little bigger to use as a wedding band. This would look pretty by itself.
Love overstock.com! Prompt delivery and just what I ordered.
You can't beat the price. However, I was disappointed when I saw that the base of the ring tapers to less than half of the width of the top. I feel like it might break at the bottom. In the end I bought from Overstock because my local jewelry store told me there was no way I could get this same ring for less than $500.
W went to the jeweler where I got the engagement ring and a very similar wedding band to this ring with 1/7ct was over $800. This is a very nice looking ring for a great price. I am satisfied so far and she loves this ring. She told me I was crazy if I had bought the expensive ring over this one since you could barely tell a difference.

POTSDAM — The Community Performance Series is presenting Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" today through Sunday in Snell Theater at SUNY Potsdam.
All shows are at 7:30 p.m., except for matinee performances at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The stage version of "Beauty and the Beast" is based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature and includes all of the songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Menken and Tim Rice.
"Beauty and the Beast" marks the return of the summer musical for CPS, after being dark last summer due to theater renovations. CPS has been producing summer musicals since "Forever Plaid" in 2004.
The musical is directed by Chad Larabee, a New York City-based director. His credits include the Off-Broadway revival of Garson Kanin's "Dreyfus in Rehearsal" and the world-premiere of the musical "POPart." Other New York credits include "Good Good Trouble on Bad Bad Island," "Do Not Disturb," and "Molineaux." He also directed the London premiere of "Ain't We Got Fun" and the world- premiere of a new adaptation of "Great Expectations," which he also wrote.
Leading lady Belle is portrayed by Erin Higgins of Waddington. The Beast is played by Justin Randolph and Gaston will be portrayed by Peter Caporal, both of New York City.
Potsdam natives in the cast are: Jeffrey Grigel as Lefou and Syl Foisy as the a cracked tea-cup, Chip. Maurice, Belle's father, is portrayed by Morgan Hastings of Canton. The dynamic duo Lumiere and Cogsworth is played by George Scoville-Upham of Malone and David Bish of Massena, respectively. Fellow house servant Babette is played by Cecilia Snow of Schenectady, the Wardrobe is played by Melissa Becker of Lindenhurst and the mysterious D'Arque is played by Jay Kepes of Colton.
Additional cast members include, the three Silly Girls played by Emily Robideau of Massena, Megan L. Bristol of Russell, and Lauren McCarthy of North Bangor. The ensemble consists of Angela Conzone and Christopher Dwyer of Ogdensburg, Tanner Beaudin of Constable, Jonathan Atchie of Norwood, Collin Jacobs of Hogansburg, Logan Barkley of Madrid, Zackary Kelley of Gouverneur, and Juliana Alfano of Massena. Salt and Pepper, two additional roles for children, will be portrayed by Maggie Anderson of Lowville and Jaelyn Stevens of Gouverneur, respectively.
The production's artistic team features several community professionals, as well as designers from around the U.S. CPS will bring back local music director Sara Simon-Shult , choreographer Meaghan Manor-Janovsky and orchestra conductor Tim Savage, all of whom served in these roles for the 2010 production of "Annie."
SUNY Potsdam staff member Alexis Foster serves as the costume designer. Annmarie Duggan returns to Potsdam as lighting designer, having previously worked as resident lighting designer for multiple seasons at Music Theater North.
Jim Wildman of Canton is the show's sound designer. Rounding out the design team is scenic designer Julia Noulin-Mera, the director of design and production for the Boston-based Guerilla Opera, and the resident set designer for two New York City-based theater companies.
The musical is made possible, in part, with public funds from the state Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, administered in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties by the St. Lawrence County Arts Council, with additional sponsorship from Frazer Inc. and SUNY Potsdam.

ObamaCare Website Plagued by Security Problems
The ObamaCare exchange at Healthcare.gov is so insecure that multiple cyber-security experts and lawmakers are calling for it to be shut down. In addition, professionals are warning potential users to beware of the gaping security flaws, which could expose the most private and intimate data of Americans trying to buy health insurance through the federal government's so-called "marketplace" to hackers and criminals. In other words, the personal and medical information of anyone deciding to use the website — millions of Americans have already lost their insurance policies owing to ObamaCare, Obama's known lies about "you can keep it" notwithstanding — may end up in the hands of whoever wants it. Identity thieves are among the primary concerns.
Amid IRS Abuse, Record Number of Americans Give Up U.S. Citizenship
Facing an increasingly out-of-control federal government in Washington, D.C., record numbers of Americans are giving up their U.S. citizenship in an effort to escape onerous requirements enforced by the IRS — which apply no matter where in the world a citizen lives. Because the IRS requirements have already become so bad, a growing number of banks around the world are refusing to even accept American customers in an effort to avoid U.S. government bullying and mountains of regulations.
South African Communist Party Admits Mandela's Leadership Role
Shortly after the death of South African revolutionary Nelson Mandela, the South African Communist Party and the African National Congress both released official statements acknowledging what was already well-known among experts: "Comrade" Mandela was indeed a Communist Party leader who served on the Soviet-backed organization's Central Committee. According to the Communist Party statement on Mandela's passing, not only was the confessed terror leader a senior official on the South African Communist Party's highest decision-making body, he was actually close to the outfit until his death.
In Death, as in Life, Truth About Mandela Overlooked
With the widely anticipated passing of South African revolutionary leader Nelson Mandela late Thursday, December 5, presidents and dictators from around the world — as well as everyday people, and especially the press — are in mourning. Lost amid the tsunami of praise and adoration, almost canonization even according to some of his supporters, however, is the truth about the man himself, who was, after all, still just a man.
Fast and Furious Whistleblower Destroys "Botched Investigation" Lie
Despite the Obama administration's fiendish efforts to censor the truth, Special Agent John Dodson, one of the key ATF whistleblowers who exposed the "Fast and Furious" plot to arm Mexican drug cartels, recently offered more explosive insight into the deadly scheme. In addition to further demolishing the bogus "botched investigation" narrative peddled by the embattled administration and its allies in the establishment press, Dodson also shed light on various elements of the gun-running operation that disgraced Attorney General Eric Holder and the president have been conspiring to keep secret.
Mass Unrest in Ukraine Amid Supposed Tug of War Between EU, Russia
In the midst of a supposed tug-of-war between two giant powers — the emerging Brussels-based European Union super-state and Vladimir Putin's Russian government — massive protests rocked the streets of Ukraine and its capital, Kiev, in recent days. The oftentimes violent demonstrations, elements of which are aimed at deposing the current regime, came after Ukrainian authorities ditched controversial negotiations for closer trade relations with the EU in favor of an even more controversial tighter alliance with Moscow.
Uproar Grows Over Forced C-section to Seize Child in U.K.
After a pregnant Italian woman allegedly suffered from a "panic attack" during a two-week trip to the United Kingdom, government officials detained her in a psychiatric hospital, forcibly sedated her, cut the unborn child out of her womb via C-section, and then seized the newborn baby girl. More than a year later, U.K. authorities are still refusing to return the child to her mother. Now, however, the story is making headlines around the world, with critics and commentators up in arms, and British officials under global scrutiny for what is being called an "outrageous" abuse of power.
Wisconsin Conservatives Targeted in Secret Probe
With the Obama administration still under fire for scandalously abusing the IRS to target conservative and Tea Party organizations, a Democrat-led District Attorney's office in Wisconsin is making headlines nationwide for a controversial secret investigation — a so-called "fishing expedition," according to some critics — of political forces that supported GOP Gov. Scott Walker. While details of the shadowy probe remain murky, multiple conservative political organizations and figures have reportedly been subjected to raids and subpoenas searching for evidence of campaign-law violations. Sources quoted in media reports said they did not know of any liberal groups or Democrat candidates contacted in the probe.
Obama Flooding U.S. Streets With "Weapons of War" for Local Police
The federal government and the Obama administration are under fire for a variety of unconstitutional programs aimed at both militarizing and controlling local police and law enforcement, including supplying a vast array of sophisticated U.S. Defense Department "weapons of war" to city and county governments. Billions of dollars in military equipment has already been handed to municipal police departments and county sheriffs' offices nationwide under the rapidly expanding federal schemes, but concerns from across the political spectrum are growing quickly as well.
ObamaCare Intensifying Doctor Shortage Crisis as Medicaid Balloons
With the ObamaCare-instigated expansion of Medicaid expected to add almost 10 million more Americans to the government entitlement scheme, the shortage of doctors across the United States is set to get much worse, according to experts and estimates cited in news reports. While analysts have been predicting the looming crisis for years, as the extent of the damage becomes clearer and the escalating shortages accelerate, even reliably pro-ObamaCare media outlets such as the New York Times are now highlighting the disaster. Talk of radical so-called "solutions" has already started, too.
