Increase Nitrous Control. If you don't have a ZEX nitrous system, you can still enjoy the benefits of their patented TPS switch system that ensures your system actives at precisely the right time for maximum system reliability and safety.
Electronic Activation. The ZEX Programmable TPS switch monitors your engine's throttle position sensor so that your system activates only at WOT (wide open throttle). This ensures system activation when you need it and not before. Makes a great combination with the ZEX traction control window switch for maximum system performance and safety.
Protect Your Engine. A ZEX programmable TPS switch lets you avoid activating nitrous at partial throttle, where your engine may be running dangerously lean, causing damage.
Application. The ZEX programmable TPS sensor is an easy to install, stand alone unit that is compatible with non-ZEX systems. It is self-programming and compatible with all TPS sensors.

What is amazing is how these techniques make this wonderful sport much easier, especially when you know them consciously, feeling their alignment with your nature in an instinctive way. You'll tend to think less and feel more. You'll focus better and experience time and timing in an unusual, non-hectic way. At any game level, whether a beginner or a top pro, your handling of the ball improves so exponentially that it leads you to trust your innate ability and your confidence grows day by day. Top pros actually recognize, as in the case of Bjorn Borg and Guga Kuerten, both coached by Oscar at some time in their career, how their best days where those in which time seemed to become almost still, and effort, movement and reach trouble-free.
Many of us have at one time or another experienced this delicate "Zone", within or outside tennis, but most players are led, by false data and misconceptions, to a different physical and mental operational way.

Oscar Wegner's coaching techniques have influenced much of the world. From Moscow to Belgrade, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Bangkok and many more cities, the results have been outstanding. With his DVDs you learn what exactly top players of today are doing and why it's most efficient. You'll learn what makes their game accurate and powerful, and how to apply these teachings. You'll see why nobody should mix modern techniques with conventional myths, adversely affecting players young and old. And much more!
Oscar worked in Spain as one of three National coaches in 1973, convincing the other two National coaches on this revolutionary methodology, and Spanish tennis took off. He did the same in Brazil, starting in 1982.
Oscar's 1989 book, "Tennis in Two Hours", became very popular in the early 90s with coaches in Eastern Europe. A generation of boys and girls started with these techiques succeeded to top levels of the game. In China, Oscar's book was translated by a group of coaches in 1999. Oscar's teachings received further exposure for four years on The New Tennis Magazine TV Show in the early 1990's, leading Richard Williams to use these principles with his daughters, future world champions Venus and Serena. Meanwhile, Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten, who had started with these techniques at 5 years old, became world champion in the year 2000, beating Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi in the process. Kuerten won the French Open three times.
From 1997 through 1999 ESPN International telecast Oscar's 40 revolutionary tips, "Play Like The Pros" in English and Spanish to their entire network of over 150 countries, leading to billions of impressions and more success around the world. Chan Srichaphan, for example, coached his son Paradorn with these techniques as a 17 year old, and he became the best player in Asia and Top Ten in the world. Vince Spadea, who started with these techniques as a 5 year old, became the #4 American player and beat Andre Agassi five times. Jeff Salzenstein was coached by Oscar in Tampa at 30 years old, then broke into the top hundred in the world. Canadian Jesse Levine, the "Road Runner", coached by his father from a young age with Oscar's materials, became a full time pro and has had a career high ranking of #69. Further, Oscar's unusual teachings on ESPN Latin America and as a tennis commentator for six years started yet another tennis boom of success for that continent, especially for Argentina, the country where he was born.
Now an American citizen and currently living in Florida, Oscar continues to write and expand on these revolutionary techniques. Test them against the more generally accepted "racquet back early", "step into the ball", "hit through towards the target" advice and decide for yourself what works best. You be the judge.
"Oscar is a great coach. In a few days he helped me regain my strokes and my feel for the ball."
Bjorn Borg, 5 time Wimbledon Champion and 6 time French Open Champion, in his 1992 comeback,
after having stopped competing for 10 years.
"Known and respected all around the world, Oscar has given us another great contribution with this book."
Gustavo "Guga" Kuerten, Three Times French Open Champion and Number One in the World in 2000. Oscar coached Guga Kuerten until he was 14 years old.
"Wegner strips tennis instruction of all those accepted phrases and directions that only clutter your mind and confuse.....I think you'll find it worthwhile to dump the past and join Oscar in your tennis future. In listening to him I've unlearned a few things myself that I long considered gospel....."
Bud Collins, Boston Globe, NBC.
"Oscar Wegner is a true pioneer in the game of tennis. I have a deep respect for Oscar's teaching and his passion to help others. My time on court with him during my professional tennis career was very valuable and many of the concepts he shared with me helped me understand my own game better. His knowledge of how the body actually works and the natural way tennis is played has helped shape my own coaching philosophies. Thanks for moving tennis forward, Oscar."
Jeff Salzenstein, former Top 100 ATP World Ranked Player.
"Oscar: ... I have long acknowledged that your tennis teaching methods are light years ahead of those for most teaching professionals in our industry. I also happen to believe that our industry has complicated the learning process for so many players that they become discouraged and leave our sport too quickly. Your ideas simplify matters, and this is crucial."
Bill Mountford, former Director of Tennis, USTA National Tennis Center, site of the US Open, Flushing Meadows, N.Y and former Head of Coaching Relations and Competition for the British LTA.
"Oscar has broken the mold in understanding the modern tennis stroke. In working with him and watching super slo-motion sequences of the top pros, I have seen the genius of Oscar's analysis of their dynamics and technique. He has translated that into effective teaching methodology that is easy and fun to learn from."
Andy Rosenberg, Director, Wimbledon and French Open for NBC Sports.
"I recommend this method to other professionals. With this method we had positive results all over the world."
Carlos Alves. Carlos took Oscar to Brazil, learned his methods, and together they developed Guga Kuerten until he was 14, and many other top juniors and pros, including Carlos' daughter Nanda Alves, #1 in Brazil.
"This book (Tennis in Two Hours) describes to a "T" what I felt when I was at the top of my game. It is amazing that Oscar makes it so simple to learn."
Martin Mulligan, Wimbledon finalist to Rod Laver in 1962 and three-time Italian Open winner.
"This system is amazing, like planting 250 seeds and getting 250 trees. All of the children I teach at the summer camp keep coming back every year, all of them. They learn quickly and they love the sport."
Bob Ruzanic, a Pennsylvania tennis coach and former Chairman of the U.S. Davis Cup Committee.
"Oscar's techniques are incredible. Back in 1982 he was with me (coaching) in Germany and the students called him "the American who taught tennis in two hours". Over and over, he had total beginners rallying 40, 60 balls back and forth in just two hours of instruction. He also helped the Weiden Tennis Club have an undefeated junior tennis team that year and get our main team to the Bundesliga."
Jurgen Fassbender, former #1 player in Germany and Top Ten player in the world.
"After introducing top juniors to the Wegner Method, I went from unknown coach with zero tournament students to head pro at Dwight Davis, largest public facility in St. Louis, Missouri, and home to the St. Louis Aces (Andy Roddick). IN NINE MONTHS! I just smile when coaches try to say your method is just for starters and intermediates, for I have used it with 5.0s and nationally ranked juniors, all amazed at how advanced but still simple to Play Like the Pros really is. Now even coaches take tennis lessons from me, but it's not me, it's your method they want."
John Carpenter, former Head Pro, Dwight Davis Tennis Center, St. Louis, Missouri.
"When my children were very young and just starting to play tennis, Oscar gave them drills that were fun to do. He generated an interest and eagerness for the game so that they wanted to play more, and as a result, they became motivated to play better. Oscar's relaxed style of teaching conveys a sense of comfort and confidence to his students so that they look forward to working with him and can enjoy the consistent improvements that result from his teachings."
Vincent Spadea Sr, father of former #4 American and 19th ranked in the world.
"Your teaching method is logical, easily understood, and works. Now I understand why Spain has so many players."
Jana Hunsacker, former Director of Tennis, U.S.T.A. National Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows, N.Y., the site of the U.S. Open Championships.
"About 6 weeks ago I bought your complete package. Fantastic. I had been teaching along your lines for some time. To see it all so perfectly laid out and confirmed has made such a difference to my coaching and to my pupils. I cannot thank you enough. I have been coaching for 10 years and have completed many many coach education courses, some very good but nothing has helped me as much as your method. I coach at all levels, but focus mostly on junior performance players. I find your method helps at every single level.
Many thanks, Alex."
"My team has won three NCAA titles and I have been named NCAA "Coach of the Year" twice. I say this only as a reference point. I was very fascinated with your work and have thought a lot about it since. I plan to use your methodology in my classes. In my pursuit of coaching excellence I was with you on many concepts and yet found many of the things you emphasized quite eye opening."
Bob Hansen, Univ. of California Santa Cruz.
"I've been a teaching pro for about 13 years. During that time I've come across many theories (some great and some not so great). I would usually test them in a lesson. If they work, I keep using them. Well, I've been keeping a lot of theories and material from your book and using them daily with my lessons, with great results!"
Scott Gilmore, Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
"Your method of simplifying the strokes and teaching beginners to "play like the pros" has benefitted hundreds of New York City school children and the teachers that train them. It's remarkable to see children rallying back and forth 20-70 times within an hour and I love hearing from them that "tennis is easy."
Sheri Slobin, Deputy Director of Programs for the NY Jr. Tennis League.

Overview of the CF Foundation's Infection Prevention and Control Policy
The health and well-being of people with cystic fibrosis is the primary concern of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation — it is at the heart of all we do.
Despite significant progress in treating cystic fibrosis, lung infections caused by bacteria remain a serious problem for those with CF and can lead to severe or worsening disease, or death.
In light of the considerable risks to the health and safety of people with CF, in 2003 the Foundation established an infection prevention and control policy for all CF Foundation events, meetings and offices.
Updated Recommendations
Following review of new medical evidence by a group of CF experts, in early 2013, the Foundation revised its policy to reduce the risk of people with CF spreading or acquiring dangerous bacteria from one another at Foundation-sponsored gatherings.
The key elements of the Foundation's updated policy are:
Our aim is to do whatever we can to promote the health of people with CF according to the best medical advice available to us.
The Foundation is committed to working closely with people with CF and their families to find new ways to harness technology to bring our community together.
Recent Scientific Data on Cross-Infection
The latest medical data show that the risk of spreading destructive bacteria among people with CF is greater than was previously believed.
These new findings include evidence that strains of different bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), have been spread between people with CF. Studies have shown that these strains can lead to worse symptoms and can speed decline in lung function.
In addition, research also suggests that the risk of some germs spreading through the air is greater than was previously known.
Infection Prevention and Control Best Practices
While bacteria are everywhere and cannot be avoided, you can help reduce the risk of getting or spreading germs by following some basic best practices, including:

Anti-Spam Protection
Applies to: Exchange Online Protection, Exchange Online
Topic Last Modified: 2013-11-08
We've built anti-spam protection into your Exchange Online or Exchange Online Protection service, so your email is protected from the moment you receive your first message. But you may want to change a protection setting to deal with a specific issue in your organization—say you're receiving a lot of spam from a particular sender, for example – or to simply fine tune your settings so that they're tailored to best meet the needs of your organization. To do this, you can change the following types of anti-spam policy settings in the Exchange admin center:
- Connection filtering is based on the reputation of the sender. You can create an Allow list (or safe sender list) to make sure you receive every message sent to you from a specific IP address or IP address range. You can also create a list of IP addresses from which to block messages. For more information, see Configure the Connection Filter Policy.
- Content filtering checks for explicit or inappropriate content within inbound messages. You can change what actions to take on messages identified as spam, and choose whether to filter messages written in specific languages, or sent from specific countries or regions. You can also turn on advanced spam filtering options if you want to pursue an aggressive approach to spam filtering. Additionally, you can configure end-user spam notifications to inform users when messages intended for them were sent to the quarantine instead. (Sending messages to the quarantine is one of the configurable actions.) From these notifications, end users can release false positives and report them to Microsoft for analysis. For more information, see Configure Content Filter Policies.
- Outbound filtering checks to make sure your users don't send spam. For instance, a user's computer may get infected with malware that causes it to send spam messages, so we build protection against that into the product. You can't turn off outbound filtering, but you can configure the settings described in Configure the Outbound Spam Policy.
If you want to go beyond the built-in spam filtering and create custom rules that are based on your business policies, the Transport Rules feature is what you're looking for.
If you're looking for information about how end users can manage their own spam settings, check out Overview of the Junk Email Filter (for Microsoft Outlook users) or Learn about Junk email and phishing (for OWA users). Be sure to use directory synchronization to ensure that these settings are synced to the service.

AUSTIN – A single-vehicle accident involving a motorcyclist on March 26th, 2012 was dubbed by some as the "Miracle on MoPac."
A year later, Phil Ajjarapu is focusing less on the day he could have died and more on his brand new album for which he's getting funding on Kickstarter.
"I wasn't doing anything crazy. I wasn't going fast you know. I just must have hit a slick patch or something, that must have been what happened," said Ajjarapu.
The choir instructor at Anderson High School for seven years flew over his handlebars on the Braker overpass.
He landed 30 feet to the surface of northbound MoPac resulting in a fractured skull, and that's not all.
"I broke both ankles, my right heel, my right calcareous, my right tibia plateau fractured. I shredded my left knee entirely," Ajjarapu said.
The choir instructor says he remembers nothing about the fall. He only remembers waking up five days later in the hospital.
"I miss riding for sure but I'm scared to get on one again. I'm scared to get on a regular bicycle again," he said.
Ajjarapu had to sell his motorcycle to pay for the ambulance ride to the hospital.

Measuring the Supply Chain Carbon Footprint
Sure, green is good. It's important to know the impact transportation has on carbon dioxide emissions. But, when I see comments like the one below, I raise a few eyebrows.
A few weeks ago, Claire Whittaker, the EU's transport directorate-general, told delegates of Green Freight Europe, a recently launched environmental initiative, that the European Commission is "considering an unambiguous way of measuring CO2 footprints in the logistics chain." She said transport is the only sector in 20 years that has seen an increase in such emissions.
Certainly, it makes sense for the commission to take another look at how carbon footprints within the transportation arena are measured. I can't help but wonder, though, what will come from it.
I wasn't at the meeting and don't have many more details other than what I have read in a report, and I don't really know what this "unambiguous way" could mean if it turns into policy. But two questions immediately come to mind about this: Should the EU and other governments not only consider measurements but also more heavily regulate the supply chain's footprint, with particular attention on the transportation and logistics sector? Or could this idea be just another thing logistics companies and corporate social responsibility offices will eventually have to factor into total supply chain planning and costs but, in general, doesn't really accomplish anything?
Europe has long been progressive on its environmental stance, implementing all sorts of environmental protection strategies and laws. I don't necessarily disagree -- without legislation and enforcement, many companies across many industries would probably not do this on their own.
And, according to the EU:
As part of the EU's future strategy to address HDV fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, a number of actions can be considered that will result in:
If the EU moves these considerations forward and requires logistics companies to upgrade their fleet and use trucks with cleaner engines or propulsion systems, there will be a ripple effect throughout the supply chain -- probably in the way of costs and higher prices.
On the plus side, maybe the supply chain has already reached a tipping point on this and, whether because of legislation or collective awareness, is ready for some "unambiguous way of measuring CO2 footprints." According to a recent supply chain report from the Carbon Disclosure Project, "Companies are making real changes to their operating models, most frequently in procurement, resulting in greater reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions and greater monetary gains across the entire supply chain... The business case is strong and growing: suppliers that do not measure, quantify, and manage their greenhouse-gas emissions will soon see their business move to competitors that can provide better information and clearer evidence of change."
Does this also apply to logistics suppliers and freight-forwarders? I venture to say I hope so.

ProQuest Statistical Abstract earns prestigious industry recognition
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ProQuest® Statistical Abstract of the United States is the winner of the 2014 SIIA Content CODiE Award for Best General Reference Service. Representing the information industry's best products and technologies, this solution is a comprehensive summary of statistics on the social, political, and economic organization of the United States.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120620/DE27948LOGO-a)
ProQuest rescued one of researchers' most valued reference tools when it took on publication of the Statistical Abstract of the United States when the U.S. Census Bureau ceased its production after 132 years. The move ensured continuation of this premier guide to an extraordinary array of statistics, relied upon by librarians, journalists, and researchers. The company continued the print edition and launched a new online version to access the comprehensive collection of statistics on the social, political, and economic conditions of the U.S. This online edition boosts researcher productivity and precision with features that present high-value data in a way that makes it simpler for users, ultimately enhancing access to key government and industry data.
"ProQuest is committed to empowering researchers and librarians around the world and this award represents acknowledgement of innovation for our information solutions," said Susan Bokern, vice president, product management, ProQuest. "Developed in collaboration with customers, this solution leverages our deep expertise in data curation and our technology capabilities."
"SIIA's 2014 Content CODiE Award winners' are some of the most innovative, high-impact content products out there," said Kathy Greenler Sexton, vice president and general manager for the content division, SIIA. "We congratulate all of this year's CODiE Award winners, and thank them for the contributions they have made to the information industry."
Winners were announced during a special Awards luncheon on January 30 in New York City during the SIIA's annual flagship conference for information industry leaders, IIS 2014: Breakthrough.
The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry's only peer-reviewed awards program. The first round review of all nominees is conducted by media, publishing, and information services executives with considerable industry expertise, including members of the industry, analysts, media and bloggers, and bankers and investors. The judges are responsible for selecting the CODiE Awards finalists. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners.

Houston >Food & Dining > Empire Cafe
1732 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX | Directions 7709829.742755 -95.403705
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 7:30am - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 7:30am - 11pm
Neighborhoods: Central, Neartown/ Montrose
Great coffee (it comes with cookies!) and the lunch sandwiches are an excellent deal- comes with a house salad for under $9. Ample parking which is rare in Montrose.
Great outdoor dining in the heart of Montrose .Half-price cake from Dessert Gallery on Mondays, great pastas and salads and the coffee comes with cookies!
Dined here on the morning of 16 March 2013. The cashier shortchanged my wife $5, and then the manager, backed up by the cashier, insisted that we must have made a mistake, because they "don't make mistakes." My wife only had a $20 and $10 in her purse before we ordered. She now has $3.57 left in her purse from a $21.43 bill. The cashier insisted my wife gave her $25, even though you can see that this is not possible. I'm more irritated that the manager insulted my integrity and intelligence over $5 than the money itself (though I'm also incensed that a restaurant stole from me). Good food is no excuse for you to treat your customers like they should be thankful that you deign to serve someone whom you obviously think is so far beneath you. Empire Cafe has permanently lost our business over their arrogance in dealing with what should have been a trivial matter, and I will make sure that their arrogance costs them the business of the considerable number of friends we have that frequent their restaurant.
Dessert Only – They improved their patio with sturdier shade and a wall barricading diners from Westheimer. It's still a nice place to bring your pup and watch the antique shoppers. Always watch your purse here...a few summers ago, I heard about two purse snatchings. I'm sure the new wall has helped deter crime.
I had a small pizza ($9) that tasted like it was made on flatbread and not crispy or crunchy. It reminded me of school cafeteria pizza. It was loaded with cheese and fresh sauce but had very little meat. My sister had the chicken caesar salad and didn't finish the whole thing. We graded the food a C.
She had a chocolate coffee dessert drink served with sugar cookies...that was the best thing we had. Grade: A
The Montrose Experience – It doesn't get much more Montrose than this. Laid back, quirky and endearing, Empire draws a faithful crowd of neighborhood regulars that are sure to be served up by playfully amiable staff. Rest assured that you may hammer away at your laptop for hours with nothing but a smile from staff and fellow patrons. No one will rush you through your coffee here. Even the patio is made comfortable for lingering as they bring out large outside air conditioning units during the more intolerable days of summer.
Their espresso bar is consistent and reasonably priced. While drinks are not creative or overly exotic, they are brewed right and cost no more than your average chain. If you have someone to share it with, I suggest trying one of their massive slices of cake. These slabs of sweet decadence are sure to please anyone but impossible to finish on your own. I've tried both the carrot cake and the chocolate blackout. While the frosting on the chocolate is a tad too sweet for my bitter dark loving taste buds I am sure that it would suit most people and the carrot cake is superbly spiced with ample cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with just the right amount of cream cheese icing.
I have not yet tried their savory dishes but they offer a diverse menu of entrees and everything I have seen on the tables including paninis oozing with cheese and brightly colored salads looked delicious and appeared to be polished off with eager enthusiasm. After a day of shopping the eclectic resale boutiques that dot the Montrose-Westheimer strip, Empire is the ideal place to rest your feet and reward your frugality with a pastry that is sure to prevent you from buying any more clothes.
Cozy coffee shop – I come to this coffee shop alot and recommend my friends and coworkers to come here as well. I love their coffees, desserts, food, ....basically all their food is delicious. Its cozy and comfortable there, their prices on their food is not too bad although their slices of cakes are quite pricey....its around $7 per slice! The bus boys are very quick and friendly. MOST of the staff that works the register is nice...but at times they are not as friendly/nice. There is one short chubby white guy in particular that works there that is always RUDE to me and my friends. We would come there at different times and he would treat all this customers the same way. He is mean, unfriendly and never ever smiles to customers that come there. The ambiance of the place and the tasty foods keeps me coming back but that one guy does not need to be working there if he hates his job or hates being around people. Maybe he would be in a better mood if he treats people better and in return they will treat him better. Overall I do love this place besides the rudeness of that one guy. Overall everyone treats me decent in there and is never really rude to me. Customer service is pretty fast and decent. Food and coffee there is excellent. Parking is not bad...always can find a decent parking space there. Oh yeah one of the cons there is the LONG lines that form to order. Since there is only 1 or 2 cashiers there it does take a while to get to you. Sometimes you get lucky and the line isnt too bad or sometimes there no lines at all. The amount of people coming in and out of this place.... shows that its a good place to dine or hang out at. I love being outside during the spring weather...its really nice there.
Eat somewhere else if you have the option – I've eaten at Empire Cafe several times and was never pleased with my experience. The last time I was there my food came 20 minutes after my boyfriend's , and I had to ask for my plate from the rude cashier. Apparently my plate was sitting under the lamps for a while and the cashier/waitress wasn't apologetic at all. If anyone is scared of birds like me, this also isn't the best place for you to eat because they are swooping down and flying around all over the place. If you have the option, go somewhere else to eat !!!
Average food, poor service, great ambiance – My husband and I were looking for a new breakfast spot. We went on a Saturday morning and were lucky that there was no line to order. However, the staff was extremely harried and rushed us to look at the menu and place our order. The food came within a reasonable amount of time, but was merely average. My husband had the eggs benedict and I had the gingerbread waffle. The eggs were over poached (coddled?) and the hash browns were cold. The fruit on my waffle was a little past its prime (gave up on a few pieces and pushed them to the side) and the waffle itself was not even warm. The only redeeming quality was the atmosphere; the people-watching was fantastic! The patio was also nice (semi-covered with ceiling fans). To compare it to another place in the same price range, the food at Le Peep is much better.
Great brunch spot – We did brunch with the Italian toast, mimosas, and a couple coffees. The food, drink, and ambience were great. The line was quite long but it went very quickly (the line was out the door, however we were able to place our order within 10 minutes). Moreover, the food was delivered rapidly.
Empire has a very eclectic mix of people; everyone from your young professionals, to the local tattooed hipsters, as well as mom and daughter stopping in after church. Definitely worth a visit.
These people can make a drink! – I adore Empire Cafe. I've been going there at least every other day for the past 6 years. The management & staff are awesome, as well as the food & drink. I've never had a bad time at Empire.
Houston classic – This place seems to age like wine. I have been coming to this place for around 10 years and each time I'm there I wish I could go there more often. They have great friendly staff, delicious food with huge portions whether it's for brunch, lunch, or dinner; they have coffee/tea/pastry and other coffee shop goodies, and also wine and beer. They also have a nice little courtyard on the side (which took me a few years to find!) What else could you possibly want?? Free parking? well, they've always had free parking but in the last year or so I noticed they opened up a new parking lot next door where a house used to be AND I even see a security guard (at least he looked like one...i'm not falling for the wallet inspector scam again).
Just drive around in the area and see how many places have even 1 free parking spot that's not the street? Another "Cafe" down the street has none. If you go to midtown you won't find any, so to me this shows the owners actually cafe about their customers and that's why they get such good reviews. This is definitely not starbucks. it's a "going to have fun and not worry about work" kind of coffee shop.
Good pasta, delicious cakes, strong mojitos...nice afternoon hangout – Empire Cafe is my favorite place to go for a steaming bowl of pasta (I recommend the Fiorenza, the chicken and broccoli with linguini tossed in a creamy garlic sauce), a delicious Caesar salad and a big slice of carrot cake. Despite the horrible art (the artist should really study up on female anatomy), the ambience is especially nice on a weekday afternoon before rush hour. Study the menu (they are usually scattered around the counter or register) and don't be shy about ordering a delicious mojito...but be careful, they are strong! :)

(Ottawa - October 18, 2007) - On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Jacob M. Lowy Collection, Library and Archives Canada presents a variety of activities in celebration of the important collection of Hebraica and Judaica donated to the Government of Canada by this noted Jewish collector. Some of the activities include a lecture by Dr. Emile G.L. Schrijver on Wednesday, October 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium at Library and Archives Canada. The lecture entitled, "Uncovering the Lowy Haggadah Manuscript" is presented in partnership with the Council of the Jacob M. Lowy Collection.
The lecture is part of a colloquium held in collaboration with the Canadian Society for Jewish Studies, Carleton University's Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies, and the University of Ottawa's Vered Jewish Canadian Studies Program. Some examples of the Lowy Collection will also be on display during the colloquium. The lecture and colloquium are open to the public, free of charge.
The Jacob M. Lowy Collection, which is housed on the second floor of Library and Archives Canada at 395 Wellington Street, consists of rare and old Hebraica and Judaica comprising 3,000 volumes from the 15th to the 20th century. Library and Archives Canada "is proud to house such an important cultural and historical collection that Jews and non-Jews alike from around the world can appreciate," said Librarian and Archivist of Canada, Ian E. Wilson.
Dr. Emile Schrijver is a specialist in Hebrew manuscripts and curator of the Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana, the Judaic and Hebraic special collection at Amsterdam University Library (www.uba.uva.nl/rosenthaliana). He has published extensively on Jewish manuscripts and printed books. A Haggadah is a liturgical book recited on Passover that tells the story of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. The Lowy Haggadah is a handwritten manuscript, copied and illuminated in Altona, Germany, in 1763, during the 18th-century revival of Hebrew manuscript production.
In the past five years, new acquisitions to the Collection include the first book of the Hebrew Bible to be printed in North America, Liber Psalmorium Hebraice, printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1809. As well, a large, finely hand-coloured, copper-engraved map of the Eastern Mediterranean region delineating the travels of Paul in the 1st century was donated, among many other acquired items.
The lecture and colloquium will be at Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa.

It was in July of 2009 that I sent a letter of appreciation to the Telluride Volunteer Fire Department for your rapid and effective response to the Valley Floor fire. Seven months later I have prepared another heartfelt response to your skills. I personally would like to thank the members of the Telluride Volunteer Fire Department and the Placerville Volunteer Fire Department, who responded so quickly and effectively to gain control over the Baked in Telluride fire. Not only did you control that aspect of the fire, but you made sure it didn't move to adjacent buildings. In very tight physical constraints you were outstanding. Your volunteer status was only enhanced by your professionalism. The long hours and days that have been spent on this potentially very dangerous blaze, show the true community spirit you have brought to the entire Fire District. Your months of training certainly paid off big time. A special thank you also goes to the Telluride Marshal's Department who were the first ones on the scene to report the beginning of the blaze.
Thanks, seems like a small word, but please don't let the smallness of the word diminish the sincere appreciation felt by this entire regional community. Without you, this individual building fire, could have taken out many other buildings in the downtown area. While our skies carry remnants of the ash from the fire, your skill and caring is forever embellished upon your badges of courage.
The time and effort you and your fellow volunteers put in, is truly appreciated. You are always there and ready. As unpaid volunteers, you make us all very proud. Thank you again for what you do to protect our region.
- Stuart Fraser, Mayor, Town of Telluride

Other than my slight baking mishap, the cake is flavorful, moist and much better when you bake it properly in pans that actually fit the cake. Go figure.
Apple Butter Cinnamon Coffee Cake
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup apple butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cinnamon chips or nuts
Measure out 3/4 cup and set aside. In a small bowl combine baking powder, baking soda, egg and buttermilk. Let stand 5 minutes. The mixture should double in size and be a bit bubbly. Blend it into the flour mixture.
Pour the batter into the cake pan. Mix the cinnamon chips with the reserved 3/4 cup topping and sprinkle over the top. Bake the cake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool ten minutes before serving.

A titular see in Numidia. It was a fortified town, inhabited for the most part by Donatists and situated forty miles from Hippo. St. Augustine appointed as its first Catholic bishop, about 416, a young man named Antonius, who afterwards caused him much anxiety (Ceillier, "Histoire générale des auteurs sacrés et ecclésiastiques", Paris, 1861, VIII, 11 sqq.). A certain Melior is known to have been bishop in 484 (Gams, (465, col. 3), and the see still existed in the seventh century (Byzantische Zeitschrift, II, 26). The fortress of Fossala completed the defences of Hippo.

Ruffian - New York Fall 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) In past seasons, Ruffian boys Brian Wolk and Claude Morais have made their Ruffian girl East Coast prep-schooler and California runaway-inspired--but for Fall, they left the States altogether for a fabulously chic Parisian collection. "Our friend Antonia Thompson has an apartment at 7 Quai aux Fleurs and she offered it us over Thanksgiving," said Wolk. "So when we got there, we were all interested in the idea of, of course, the classic American in Paris -- or the New Yorker in Paris even more -- but also the idea of the Parisian in New York." They stuck with classic Ruffian elements like tailoring, ruffles, and innovative fabrics and prints (this season's contribution by artist Ann Koch: a print of a music sheet, transcribed from a Bach sonata.) Added were modern, timely touches like a perfect cropped trouser and beaded jaguar-print pieces.

I can't get the link on You Tube to paste here but I cannot believe Will Smith can be this logically challenged.
Why does it matter to Liberals what other countries think about us as Americans? I couldn't give a hoot in hell what foreigners think about us if their opinions are counter to our beliefs. Apparently, in LIBERAL WORLD, the better course of action is to wait for EuroPEONS and Russians to clue us in on what we should do for the good of them before we act in our own interests.

Your Cookies Gain Unwanted Holiday WidthLumpy gravy, pasty potatoes, shredded turkey-what's a holiday cook to do? Find out how to avoid these and other holiday kitchen calamities with Cooking Light magazine's Most Common Cooking Mistakes.
Mistake #1: Your cookies gain unwanted holiday width.
Result: Sad gingerbread men.
Baking holiday cookies can go from a labor of love to an exercise in frustration when your gingerbread men come out more bloated than a Macy's parade float. The problem is too much heat-but not at the baking stage, at the mixing stage: Your butter is too warm.
The solution: Keep your butter cool, right until baking. Butter starts to melt at 68°, and once that happens, its water-fat emulsion breaks and there's no getting it back. Cold, emulsified butter helps give baked goods structure by taking in air when mixed with sugar. For cookies, you want butter well below room temperature; between 50° and 65° is optimal. Cut the butter into chunks, and let it stand at room temperature to soften (nix the microwaveRead More »from The Most Common Holiday Cooking Mistakes
