Material List
- DCWV® Paper Pad – the Sweet Blossom Stack™
- Rub-ons, 1¾" – Alphabet
- Jute
- Ribbon – Assorted Brown
- Hole Punch, ½"
- Paper Crafting Punch – 2" Circle
- Scoring Board
- Paper Trimmer
- Paper Crafting Adhesive
- Low Heat Glue Gun
- Scissors
Project Instructions
Step 1 Select nine coordinating prints. Cut one strip from each one (and two from the last one) measuring 3"x12" long. This will make a total of ten strips.
Step 2 Lay your first strip lengthwise in front of you. Make a score line from top to bottom (each line will be 3" long) every ½" from the beginning to the end of the strip. Repeat for the remaining strips.
Step 3 Match up the prints you would like to use on each rosette. *Note you will need two to complete each one. Fold the first one accordion style, back and forth along the scored lines, until you reach the end. Fold the second piece opposite of the first (still accordion style, but starting down if you started up or vice versa). Repeat this until all your paper strips are folded.
Step 4 Once you have finished, punch ten circles from any of your remaining strips (these will not be visible when you are finished).
Step 5 Going back to your first two strips, glue one end of the first strip to one end of the second. Adhere the remaining two ends together to form a cone, with the print facing out. Once the glue is dry, put your cone on a flat surface (preferably a table or desk). Push the center of the cone towards the flat surface, allowing the outside to push out into a rosette. Continue gently pushing until the rosette is fully formed and everything is flat against your hard surface. Push the paper towards the middle to tighten the rosette, or let it pull out a little, to create your desired look. Holding onto your rosette, put a large amount of glue (approximately 1" circle) onto the back of one of your circles and then attach this to the middle of the front side of your rosette. Hold in place for 15 seconds and then flip it over to the back, still holding onto the rosette. Keeping one hand on the rosette, repeat the process by applying glue to the back of the next circle and attach it to the middle of the back side of the rosette.
Step 6 Repeat for all remaining strips until you have formed your five rosettes.
Step 7 Remove the tag page from the Sweet Blossom Stack™ and cut out five tags. Punch a hole in the top area and attach a different ribbon through each one, tying them off in a knot. Trim ends as desired. Rub one letter on each tag and attach one tag to the center of each rosette.
Step 8 Attach rosettes together by adhering them to a long piece of jute.
Step 9 Once dry, hang and enjoy!

SARANAC LAKE - They entered the playoffs seeded third, but came through in the postseason as the Wiseguys women's softball players captured the championship in the Saranac?Lake women's softball league.
Facing Guideboat Reality in last week's best-of three championship series played in a span of three nights, Wiseguys dropped the first game and came back with two straight wins to earn the crown.
In the first matchup played Monday, Aug. 13, Guideboat turned up the heat on offense to post a 24-8 win and take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Wiseguys, who feature players from Lake Placid, then turned the tables, winning 4-1 on Aug. 15 to even the series and clinching the title the following day with a 12-8 triumph in the rubber game.
The games were played at the Petrova softball diamond in Saranac?Lake. Guideboat finished runner-up after knocking off regular-season champion Captain Cook's in the semifinals.

Out of the Humidor
CA Readers
From the Print Edition:
Susan Lucci, Sep/Oct 99
Dear Marvin,
The Casa de Cuba in Tampa, Florida, an institution of Cuban exiles, lovers of freedom and zealous defenders of human rights, are responding from a high moral ground against those who defend the dictatorship imposed on our country for four decades at the cost of thousands of our countrymen gunned down, imprisoned, facing shortages of the basic goods needed to survive, and the millions of them who have been denied their liberty and dignity in the country where they were born.
Christians in the world abhor the attitude of Judas, the disciple, who turned over the Son of God for a few coins. We, the exiled Cubans, in unison with those who reside in our captive island, feel repugnance against those who stand behind democracy (which exists in the United States) to sell for a bit of money the prestige of a magazine like the one you direct, and dedicate the great majority of your articles to defend the bloody regime of the Castro brothers.
Our martyrs, from their place in heaven where they can be found, feel misery for you, and we all ask that God forgives your souls, and that you repent like Judas did for the treason against our Cuban people.
Oscar Rodriguez
President, Casa de Cuba
Tampa, Florida
* * *
Dear Marvin,
As a reader of Cigar Aficionado, I was impressed with your June 1999 issue regarding Cuba and cigars. My mother was born in Cuba and worked in the cigar factories of Tampa, Florida. Accordingly, I know something about cigars!
However, I write to inform you that for over two and a half years I have worked closely with the Cuban Interest Section in Washington, D.C. You and your managing editor, Gordon Mott, should take great pride in the magazine's June issue. The magazine is informative, succinct and balanced. Not any of the major newspapers or periodicals have presented such an informative and timely piece.
I take a back seat to no one in my belief that America is the greatest democracy mankind has known. But my country's policy toward Cuba is wrong. With the Cold War over, there is no rational explanation to continue the embargo. The present policy is indefensible and inconsistent with American values and self interests.

Scientists from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy have collaborated in developing new water quality software that enhances a water system's ability to detect when there has been intentional or unintentional contamination. Officials said the software, called Canary, can help detect a wide variety of chemical and biological contaminants, including pesticides, metals, and pathogens. Once contamination is detected quickly, a water utility could issue a "Do Not Drink" order to prevent customers from ingesting the water.

If you're a Star Wars collector, there's a pretty good chance you've had to pare back some of your hobby purchases in these economically challenging times. But there is still a great way to get that collecting fix on a budget – if you're willing to explore the world of vintage collecting!
Not the world of mint-sealed-on-card vintage collecting, but the eccentric, exotic, eclectic world of ticket stubs, disco singles, foreign paperbacks and iron-on transfers from the '70s to '90s. Treasures abound in the under-$10 category of collecting, if you know where to look – and what to look for.
As an exercise in budget collecting – and a way to relive some great finds of the last year — I thought I'd go back through my collectible purchases of 2011 to find those pieces I felt were exceptionally good deals, even if they're not what some would categorize as mainstream (which frankly makes them even more appealing!). Most of the following – with a few exceptions – were had for under $10, and required just a little bit of adventuring beyond the usual Star Wars collecting categories on eBay:
Jan 10: British Jar Jar Binks Pencil Case (£3.97)
Yeah, I know, first one out of the gate and it's a Jar Jar collectible. This was actually the fourth piece I picked up after the new year, and just couldn't resist those cool retro-style graphics that just scream galactic-groovy.
(See more 2011 frugal finds after the jump!)
Jan 10: Canadian CN Tower Star Wars 1978 Birthday Party Ticket ($10.50)
Ok, so I already broke the under-$10 rule on my second item out, but this one gets points for pairing "Star Wars Birthday Party" and "BOOGIE" in the same breath (and we can't imagine how far-out a Star Wars party hosted in Toronto's famous spaceship-like CN Tower must have been!).
Feb 5: Factors Lobot Iron-On ($15.00)
Yes, a second item that's over $10, but come on, a Lobot glitter iron-on from 1980? These don't come up too often (like, NEVER) and that airbrush-chrome logo was just too retro-cool to pass up. A colleague of mine actually snagged the iron-on attached to a tee (pictured) while I picked up an unused sample to transfer to a ringer-tee of my choosing.
Feb 15: 1977 Del Rey Star Wars Novel Info Sheets ($5.00)
This packet of information sheets sent out by book publisher Del Rey to booksellers in 1977, which includes information on the first post-release printing of the Star Wars novel (the first was actually printed in late 1976), was just too cool to resist at such a rock-bottom price. The photo of the mock-up cover alone makes this a real gem.
Mar 7: Tony Danza and C-3PO Press Photo ($9.99)
The largely uncharted world of '80s Star Wars-television crossovers will occasionally produce gems like this press photo from 1985's "ABC Saturday Morning Sneak Peek and Fun Fit Test" starring "Who's The Boss?" star Tony Danza and "Thank The Maker" coiner C-3PO.
Mar 17: Hollywood Star Wars Premiere Wild Post Flyer ($0.99)
Even with obvious folds, I couldn't believe I snagged this little piece of Hollywood history for under a buck. While similar wild post flyers which include Hollywood's AVCO and Plitt City Centers seem to come up with some frequency, those listing the Chinese Theatre, a venue added just before the May 25th release date, are quite rare.
May 10: Tokyo Disneyland Star Tours Phone Card (£2.50)
As Star Wars and Disney aficionados can tell you, Star Tours merchandise originating from Japan's Tokyo Disneyland is exceedingly scarce, so snatching up this used, mirror-finish phone card from the early '90s for just a few bucks American was a great find.
June 15: 1977 London Star Wars Premiere Ad (£0.99)
I had actually been searching for this rare London ad from Britain's Time-Out magazine for quite some time, a great display piece which showcases the cool Hildebrandt quad poster artwork and London venues on the front and a full map of the London Underground on the reverse (apparently this ad was meant to be removed from the magazine and used by theater-goers to navigate London's subway to the Dominion or Leicester Square Theatres).
July 11: 1977 Toyota Dealership Magazine Star Wars Cover ($9.99)
This was another piece I'd been trying to track down for years after letting my first copy go to a fellow collector many moons ago. Depicting the famous (infamous?) Star Wars Celica on its cover, one has to wonder just what happened to this seventies sweepstakes superstar.
Sept 21: 1977 Italian Star Wars Novel (€5.99)
The original Italian Star Wars novel from 1977, which depicts the retro-ish Papuzza-illustrated cover, is not that tough a find if you're willing to pick one up directly from an Italian seller. Finding one with the yellow Star Wars paper insert – which touts the film's release in Italy – is a much rarer find, since most would have been tossed after serving the convenient role of bookmark.
Sept 25: Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader Van Model Kits ($10.00)
Ah, the seventies. This faddish pair of Star Wars van model kits, which were released in 1979 by model maker MPC for the first and only time, are a bit tough to come by still sealed in the box. A pair of fully-built examples, however, can come cheap and conveniently photo-ready for the rare occasion that someone would actually 'fess up to owning them for a blog entry.
Oct 5: Senator Theater Episode I Ticket Stubs ($7.00)
This cool pair of Episode I theater ticket stubs, which actually depict a photo of the theater sporting the Episode I marquee, were picked up for the cost of just one at face value in 1999!
Nov 23: Kenner Star Wars Early Bird Kit Sticker Sheets ($0.99)
Here's where having some knowledge of Star Wars collectibles can come in handy. While these three sticker sheets were advertised as free theatrical giveaways in 1977 (which they very well could have been), I recognized them as the oft-misplaced part of Kenner's rare 1977 Star Wars Early Bird kit, which was sold during the holiday season before the action figures were available. Because these stickers are often missing from opened kits, many collectors seek them out to complete their ensembles.
Dec 2: 1979 Clark Junior High School Yearbook ($11.50)
Here's the last item breaking the $10 rule, but with good reason. This was my favorite find of the year, beating out items which were likely much more valuable and sought after. Clark Junior High, which resides in La Crescenta, California and now operates as a magnet school, was actually my junior high alma-mater between 1982-83, and until this month, I had no idea they had released a Star Wars-themed yearbook in 1979. What makes this piece even more appealing to me personally is the fact that the original owner – whose name is ink-stamped on the Star Wars-themed endpapers – turned out to be my seventh grade math teacher.
Dec 11: Fantastic Sam's Hair Salon Chewbacca Photo ($9.99)
This one I'm still waiting for my postman to deliver (hence the auction listing pic above). Is it from the 1980s or a recent fan-made piece? Who cares! A fully-costumed Chewbacca posing for a hair salon portrait? Priceless.
Dec 12: Star Wars Holiday Special Jefferson Starship Single ($4.00)
Here's a find that came as a result of a fellow collector sharing a bit of the holiday spirit on a collecting forum. He'd posted a pic of one of these Jefferson Starship singles – which also happens to be the little ditty they sang for "The Star Wars Holiday Special" in 1978 – and pointed me to an auction that offered one on-the-cheap. A great find, and probably not the first time "Star Wars Holiday Special" and "cheap" have been used in the same sentence.

MISSION – K-lee Flores, a junior and volleyball player at Juan Diego Academy in Mission, was brought to tears when she saw the school's new gym for the first time.
"I'm an athlete, so just the fact that we will be playing volleyball in here is an excitement," Flores said. "We were all singing the songs and tears came to my eyes because when this started, there wasn't even grass here. Now we have grass and this beautiful gym. It's just amazing how far we've come in the last three years."
More than 100 people were at the academy Sept. 5 to celebrate the opening of the 17,000-square-foot gymnasium, which includes classrooms and changing spaces. Students, staff and visitors celebrated the ribbon cutting through song, and a blessing from Bishop Daniel E. Flores of the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville.
Richard Walsh, a member of the Juan Diego Academy Board of Trustees, said there are 78 students who will benefit from the addition. Walsh said there are only ninth- through 11th-grade levels this year, and the intimate setting allows for more one-on-one attention.
Principal Bob Schmidt explained the campus encourages an attitude of love and acceptance. The new addition is all about the students, who were overjoyed about having a new competition/practice space, he said.
The academy has students participating in basketball, cross-country, soccer, tennis and volleyball. The academy's Lions volleyball team became the first in the campus's history to win a tournament championship on Sept. 7 after defeating Santa Maria High School in the South Texas Med Tech Tourney.
Bullard Construction Inc. built the facility for about $2 million, according to Juan Diego Academy President Sister Marcella Ewers.
The gym will be equipped with bleachers that will seat about 300 visitors, according to Walsh. He said the gym is the first of more plans for the academy's future.
"Next year will have our first senior class," Walsh said. "We still need classrooms for those seniors. So that will be the next big thing we kick off."

Utopia resident Thomas Ray Nelson is accused of killing his mother-in-law and her friend on Thanksgiving Day over a property dispute.
The Uvalde Leader News reports Thomas Ray Nelson, 63, was arrested Thursday Afternoon.
Nelson reportedly admitted to shooting and killing 80-year-old Juana Marcelina Tweedy and 79-year old Muriel Francell Teed as the women were sitting in the kitchen table of Tweedy's home .
Nelson and his wife also live on the property and the Uvalde County sheriff believes the shooting stemmed from Tweedy's decision to evict the couple, the Uvalde Leader News reported.
Nelson's wife reported the shooting, but was not there for the incident. Nelson was booked into the Uvalde County Jail and is reportedly being held without bond.

Real dissappointment – Where do I start? We were celebrating our anniversary with another couple on Friday, 11/18. We arrived to be greeted by...no one! Waited 5 minutes to be seated by a waiter. After waiting 15 minutes for our drinks to be delivered, we had to ask for menus. Upon choosing our entrees we were informed that 2 of the menus were not current! After reordering from the correct menu, we waited at least 15 minutes between courses with no explanation for delays. The food was very good...service was atrocious. My friend's caeser salad was the only low point. It was far too salty and when she mentioned it to the waiter, nothing was done to exchange or comp it. We were there for 3 hours waiting to complete our meal. Unfortunately since there was not even a manager, much less owner there to speak with about the service or keep the staff accountable I need to vent my frustrations here. All 4 of us live in Clayton and eat out 2-3 week in the area. We will never frequent Chez Leon again. Why should we with all the other restaurants available that appreciate our patronage?
Great Dinner/Great Service – My wife and I celebrated our 33rd anniversary at Chez Leon's on Sat. evening. We arrived at 6:30 as per our reservations and were promptly seated. Our waiter introduced himself and then brought our drinks. I had the lamb chops---which were a good deal at 39 because I saw the same chops at the global market on LIndbergh for 5 bucks a piece. There were four on my plate. They were done perfectly, with a ' to die for' sauce. My wife had the duck--also excellent. We also had the escargot and oysters rockefeller. Creame Brulle for dessert.
It was a "fine dining" experience. Exactly what we had hoped for. Yes, it's abit pricey ,but you get what you pay for.
So Much for a Good Birthday – Made a reservation for my 40th birthday 2 weeks before the date. Was very excited because I love French food and had eaten at Chez Leon when it was in the CWE. Decided to use my Groupon, and called two days before my birthday to let the restaurant know that I would be using the Groupon. I am told that I cannot use it because they are having a special 3 items for whatever. When I made the reservation, there was no mention of a special...I received an email two days after I made the reservation that this special was being offered. I ask if my husband and I can order off the regular menu, and am told yes, and the person taking the reservation makes a note of this.
Fast forward to my birthday, we get seated right away, have drink orders taken, and our server brings out this "special" menu. When I let him know that we requested the regular menu, I am told that it is not available at all because they "have so many people in".
Upon looking at the menu, not one of the items I was looking forward to are on it.
I will not patronize Chez Leon again. Anyone want a Groupon?
Avoid at all costs – There is a saying, "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." This is exactly how I felt after dining at Chez Leon for the second time. Me and my girlfriend had a horrible experience the first time, but our server was so nice and accommodating that we decided to go back and try it again with a groupon that we had purchased a while back. The second time was slightly better, but not by much. We arrived at the restaurant around 6:00 and we were immediately sat at a nice cozy table in the back. We were waiting for probably around 5 minutes before a waiter comes from the front and asks "What can I get you to drink?" The way he said it was just very rude and condescending, as if we were inconveniencing him. We asked him about the wines by the glass and by the bottle, and he could not give us an informative answer about any of them. After a minute of him stumbling over the wines by the bottle, I ordered a martini and my girlfriend ordered a glass of champagne. After dropping off our drinks, our waiter brought menus and took our dinner orders. I ordered the duck breast medium temp, and my girlfriend ordered the strip steak medium rare. Then we waited. It took 35 minutes for our entrees to finally come out, and the restaurant had only two other tables sitting down! The entree dishes were awful. My girlfriends steak was medium well, was very thin and tough, and just tasted bland. The fries that came with the meal were soggy and had no flavor. My duck was rare, and the "orange sauce" did not taste like any orange sauce I have ever had. I did not even want to take anything home it was so awful. After "dinner" I asked for the check and saw the prices for our drinks. Sixteen dollars for a glass of champagne, 10 dollars for an extremely poor gin beefeater martini, and $15 for a glass of white wine which I just saw at whole foods for $18 a bottle. Bad food, bad service, and bad prices.
Bad Experience, would not recommend – Chez Leon in Clayton was a huge disappointment. Before dining their I had read several reviews online raving about the great food and service. This past Saturday I dined at Chez Leon with my husband and it proved to be one of the most expensive mistakes we have ever made. We arrived at around 8:30 and sat in the foyer waiting to be sat for 5 minutes. The host, who smelled somewhat like mildew, came up to us from his SEAT in the dining room, and led us to a cramped table on the cafeteria style booths they have. We gave our drink orders to the host and then waited. We waited for 10 minutes till a waiter came up to us and asked us if we had been helped. We were then asked for a drink order again (apparently the host had forgotten about us). The server was nice, but seemed pre-occupied while he explained the 3 plat for 43. It seemed like a great deal at the time, but we were sadly mistaken. The escargot I got for first course tasted foul, but the rotten taste was almost covered up by the garlic fennel butter it was served with. My husbands foie gras was okay, but it was undercooked and a little slimey. The chicken, which the server said had a piece of foe gras in it, did not have any foie gras and was extremely dried out. It was topped with an extremely salty and heavy cream sauce that made my stomach hurt. My husband got the filet for dinner. Not only was it extremely tiny, but it was cooked to Medium Well when he order Medium Rare. For Dessert we split the Pomme A La Reine which was delicious but not enough to save the dinner. Drinks were too expensive, a glass of white wine is $15, a glass of champagne is $16, and my husbands Jack & Coke was $10. Save yourself and never come here.
NO! – I haven't recommened CL to anyone and I don"t plan to. CL attempts to achieve the level of a French Bistro but succeeds only superficially. Let me start first with the service. We were never brought a wine list and were never offered a wine. We were also never given the attention that one would expect to receive at such a restaurant because, as our waiter explained, they were understaffed and just were caught off guard by the amount of people coming in. Hello? Upon ordering our food I asked about what sides came with the entrees. He said vegetables. Yeah guy, what type? How are they prepared? Do all entrees get the same sides? He just wasn"t being all that specific. Let's talk about the food(and just know that I am a classical trained chef who went through a three year culinary program in the south west of Germany). We first had appetizers and my wife ordered the seared scallops and there were actually perfectly cooked. My mother's shrimp with bacon were also good, but both apps were smothered in rich, heavy cream sauces that, yes, I know, are familiar to french cooking but not necessary for an appetizers, who should normally be light as not to effect the following courses. I went with the seared foie gras because they paired it with cabage and bacon. Normally one would pair something as rich and fatty as foie gras with something sweet and fruity like figs or raspberry. I was curious and unfortunately disappointed. The sauteed cabage and bacon completey ruined the flavor of the foie gras, which wasn't seasoned to begin with. I guess choosing it was my own stupid mistake. As for the entrees, my black bass and my wife's salmon were overcooked. My beurre blanc sauce tasted more just like plain old melted butter. My mother had the roasted chicken, that was burnt and dry, with "truffel" sauce. I was disappointed overall and will never go back nor recommend Chez Leon to anyone.
I will not return! – I went there for my friend's birthday party. He made the reservation and told them that it was his birthday. The service was not that great. We had a party of 15 and they had us at three different tables. My friend was served last and had to wait an additional 20 minutes for dessert. I asked the owner about this and he made up a story about where he was from France. More less, he could not find a valid excuse. He said that the host was always served last and that is his policy. I told him that he was not the host and that it was his birthday. He apologized, however did not do anything about it. I ordered a pork dish and it was very dry. I will not return to this establishment. And to add fuel to the flame, the waiter gave the entire bill to my friend. This place is a complete joke!
Sacre-bleu! Great food! – My girlfriend and I went to Chez Leon to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. The first thing I noticed was that our two person table was was situated extremely close to the table next to us. We received water and bread promptly from the busboy, but then we were forced to sit for well over fifteen minutes without even having menus to look over. When our waiter finally noticed us, he was very apologetic and offered us some complimentary drinks. It was there that the night pulled a complete 180. Five minutes later we not only had two complimentary glasses of some nice bordeaux but were surprised with two glasses of fine champagne, also on the house. We received five star service the rest of the night.
We ordered the escargots as an appetizer, a new experience for me. They come in a wonderful buttery sauce which has a a garlic and basil flavor.
I ordered the salade vert (green salad) which was very basic: lettuce and oil and vinegar with a cracker which was covered in some deliciously stinky french cheese. In such a simple salad, there is little room for error. The salad was good, but I will be trying a different salad on my next visit.
For the main course, I ordered the Duck a l'orange. It blew my mind. It was juicy and bursting with great balance of the two main flavors. It had just the right amount of orange without overpowering the succulent flavor of the duck. It was served with sides of creamy potatoes, carrots, green beans, and sweet red cabbage (surprisingly tasty).
Dessert was an apple tart served a la mode. It did not disappoint.
If you're willing to drop a decent amount of money (our bill was $100 without the wine - escargots, 2 salads, 2 entrees, and dessert) this is a great french restaurant. Although someone obviously screwed up in having us sit unattended for fifteen minutes, but they went out of the way after that to show that they truly value their customers. The chefs know their way around the kitchen, and it really shows on your plate.
Delicious food but not very cozy atmosphere – I always read reviews before I go out on a special occasion, but I?ve never written one myself, so this is my review-writing debut? My husband and I were at Leon for our wedding anniversary. Here?s what I liked about the restaurant: food. Simply delicious. All the three courses were very tasty, with the veal (main course) being one of the best I?ve ever had. I find the food a little pricy (if I recall correctly, we spent close to $200 with wine for the two of us), but since its quality was exceptional, I think it was worth the expense. What I didn?t like: I expected a more cozy environment that it turned out to be. The restaurant space is a big rectangular hall with tables located very closely to each other. The wall decor is nice but in my point of view is not sophisticated enough for a pricy French restaurant. My biggest complaint is that the tables are so scrunched in the space, it?s hard to keep your conversation private on a busy night (the night we were there, it was very busy) and it?s hard to hear your companion because of the noise. Overall, it?s just not the right atmosphere for a romantic date - it?s a very nice, but not cozy restaurant. They would definitely win my heart if they redesigned the restaurant floor to make it look less like a dining hall. Also, I find that the waiting time was somewhat longer than expected, though it was not disturbing. However, I think the restaurant deserves the ?recommended? rating simply because the food was exceptional. My compliments to the chef!!!
My favorite restaurant of all time – We spent 4 hours for dinner here. The price fixe menu is fantastic, with different offerings each day. Be prepared to spend upwards of $120 for dinner with drinks and tip.
Service was fantastic, the waiter even comes and scoops your bread crumbs up after each course.
Every bite was amazing. I had Es Cargo for an appetizer, Roast duck with a cherry sauce for the main course, and an orange custardy sort of cheesecake for dessert.
The environment was beautiful too. Seating fills up quickly, I would suggest reservations.
This restaurant is the one thing I wish I could have brought with me when I moved to Seattle. I haven't found anything comparable to replace it.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dried fruits with hints of coffee bean and cedar. Full body, with silky tannins and a tangy, savory finish. Almost salty character with ripe fruits. Complex and succulent on the finish. Drink or hold."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Here is an unforgettable wine that absolutely makes the case for 2007 being one of the best vintages of late in Montalcino. The wine is broad and polished with masculine tones of dark fruit, leather and tobacco. These aromas evolve so quickly and with such pulsing intensity, the wine comes alive..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is lush, sweet and inviting. Today the 2007 doesn't quite have the sheer visceral thrill and excitement of the 2006, but it more than makes up for that with its early approachability. Dark red berries, spices and crushed flowers are layered into the finish. There..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is deep and powerful in its smoke, tar, spices, scorched earth and plums. The wine has shut down quite a bit since I last tasted it a few months ago, and the refined silky tannins that were present a while back have turned decidedly virile. Still, the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "It takes only a few moments before you appreciate the enormity, intensity and overall beauty of this landmark wine. Cerretalto is always a high scoring expression of Brunello, but the ideal conditions of the 2007 vintage elevate it to earthly perfection. Dark and fleshy, the wine delivers..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The sawdust and graphite aromas turn to cherry and raspberry flavors in this vibrant, complex red. A beam of sweet fruit imparts energy and resonance, carrying this to a long, expansive aftertaste. The finish shows potential.
Cellar/Tasting Notes What beautiful clear fruit here, with plums and spices and hints of flowers. Class. Full- bodied and luscious, this Brunello fills your mouth, with polished velvety tannins and gorgeous fruit. So wonderful and gorgeous. Irresistible. Better than 2006.

Contemporary television's writer-creators are celebrated, while its directors are often hired guns on set for an episode or two.

James Lasdun's memoir on the terrifying frailty of reputation in the Internet era.
Our lives rarely turn out the way we plan. Perhaps it's to counter this pervasive sense of uncertainty that so many people feel compelled to write memoirs of perseverance, reframing the shifts their lives have taken into a sure-footed narrative arc. But confusion is the reigning feeling in James Lasdun's new memoir Give Me Everything You Have (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). A highly regarded, New York-based British novelist, essayist, and poet, Lasdun writes about being stalked for more than six years, unable to do a thing about it. "I'm not so sure of anything anymore," Lasdun tells us early on in the book.
Hector Barajas is opening up his home to serve as a safe house for deported veterans like himself, stranded in Mexico, far from the country they served.
Hector Barajas, a former paratrooper in the U.S. Army, lives in a two-bedroom apartment in Rosarito Beach, a seaside Mexican village 15 miles south of the border. Barajas, 36, has lived near Rosarito since 2009, usually with another deported veteran living in his second bedroom or on his couch. He is a leading advocate against the deportation of veterans, which has become a more prevalent concern for members of our armed forces in recent years, and his home has become the cause's unofficial headquarters. Barajas' current houseguest, Fabian Rebolledo, received a Purple Heart for his service in Kosovo. When Rebolledo, 37, was deported to Tijuana earlier this year, he called Barajas almost immediately.
A network of organizations that uses environmental concerns to justify anti-immigration views is now courting liberals.
A few years ago, anti-immigration ads began popping up in a number of progressive magazines, including this one. The ads displayed an environmental wasteland and suggested that immigrants were somehow the cause -- one showed an image of a congested highway with an adjoining paragraph about how immigration contributes to commuter traffic.

Evaluation Resources
The Academic Statement | Self Evaluations | Faculty Evaluations
Evergreen is a unique college utilizing a narrative system to assess student learning and achievement. Through the evaluation process, both students and faculty learn from their work within a particular program and have the opportunity to understand more about their work as a whole and to recognize connections and common themes within a program.
This information does not act as a substitute for a visit with one of our writing tutors. It is provided as a starting point for your work. We strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our writing tutors for more tailored, one-on-one conversations about your evaluations.
The Academic Statement
Handout: Academic Statement [PDF]
An Academic Statement is a graduation requirement for all entering undergraduate students starting Fall 2013. Students must write an academic statement of up to 750 words. In the statement, students summarize and reflect carefully on their liberal arts education. Students begin work on the statement when they first enroll, then develop and revise it annually under the guidance of faculty. The final version becomes an important part of each student's transcript. Undergraduate students who enrolled prior to Fall 2013 are highly encouraged to include an Academic Statement in their final transcript upon graduation; however, it is not required.
For all undergraduate students, the final Academic Statement is due Friday of Evaluation Week of the quarter they plan to graduate.
An Academic Statement is optional for graduate students and must be submitted no later than one quarter after they leave or graduate.
For more information, go here.
Self Evaluations
Handout: Self Evaluation Guide [PDF]
A self evaluation is arguably the most important document you will ever write in your academic life. It serves as a crucial component in your transcript, providing your viewpoint as a student and your views on how you have evolved or succeeded within your program. It is best to approach self evaluations through a step-by-step process starting early in the quarter. The information below provides some ideas as for how this process might take place.
The key to thinking about your self evaluation is to view it as a series of stories that you write about your academic career. The first evaluation in your transcript serves both as an evaluation of your work in your first program at Evergreen and as your introduction to who you are as you begin your Evergreen life. Beginning with the 2013-2014 academic year, the only document required for incoming students to complete for their transcript is the Academic Statement, which is meant to provide larger, synthesized statement about your time and education at Evergreen, and answer questions like: what have you done that is important to you? Why did you do the things you did? Where do you intend to go from here?
Self evaluations serve as check-in points for your educational story, where you find yourself each quarter. Certainly, your goals as a student change constantly; an evaluation only needs to reflect these changes in thinking so that the audience for your transcript can follow your academic evolution.
Forms for typing up formal evaluations are available here.
Stage I: Brainstorming/Self-Reflection
At first, don't worry at all about what your final evaluation is going to look like. Chances are that, throughout the program, you've learned enough that it's hard to separate out the important parts from the parts that didn't affect your learning at all. To help sort that out, sit down and just write for a minimum of thirty minutes about the program, your experiences, what you learned, what you think could have gone better, or any other information about your academic progress during this program that you think may be useful later on.
While writing, do not concern yourself with mechanical issues -- this is stream of consciousness writing and is a draft only for your own use. Nobody else has to see this unless you want them to.
Our handout from Peter Elbow is an especially helpful guide during this stage of the writing process.
Stage II: Filtering
Now that you have a significant amount of self-reflection and brainstorming down on paper, you can filter through it to pick up key ideas, words, sentences, or concepts that you would like to use or highlight within your self evaluation. At this point, you are working with an eye towards generating a very rough first draft that will eventually transform into your final self evaluation for the program.
The types of words, sentences, or ideas that you want to pick out are those that uniquely describe or articulate a significant aspect of your own learning or evolution within the program. Remember: the purpose of a self evaluation is to convince the reader that your work within the program has been beneficial overall.
Stage III: Revision
Revising is a stage that can be as long or as short as it needs to be. It encompasses your second draft through your final evaluation and includes the next stage. Revising your self evaluation may take the form of bringing it into a writing tutor for review, reading it aloud to yourself to catch errors or ideas that need expansion, giving it to someone else so that they may make suggestions or comments, or strengthening key ideas and phrases within your evaluation. Faculty members are usually all too happy to review your self evaluation drafts and make comments.
Your aim with each successive draft should be to make incremental improvements towards a final document that expresses your achievements and strengths during the program.
Stage IV: Evaluation
In the final stage, you need to evaluate what you've written in order to ensure that it is a document that you would be proud to include in your transcript. Some things to think about include:
- What is the driving idea behind the evaluation?
- Does the evaluation cover or mention all that you feel that it should?
- Are there any unnecessary details?
- Does the introduction appropriately introduce and frame the rest of the evaluation?
- Is the paragraph structure clear and concise?
- Is the conclusion sufficient?
- How does the evaluation relate to the rest of the transcript? Does it build from other evaluations? Is the formatting consistent?
- Do you show and not tell? Is the evidence or description convincing and vivid? Do you detail the value of your learning?
- Is the evaluation interesting to read? Does the voice sound natural?
- What attitudes and qualities do you display within the evaluation? Are these consistent with what you wish to portray?
- Are there any places where sentence fluency and word choices could be improved?
- Is the evaluation appropriate for the potential audience, such as a graduate school or future employer?
The questions above are the same questions that our writing tutors use to assess an evaluation draft. In addition, our handout from Richard Alexander can help you think about the role that a self evaluation plays within your transcript.
Stage V: Final Check
As with any thesis-based paper, evaluations must meet certain standards. The checklist below will help you finalize your evaluation so that it shines.
- Final evaluations must be printed on the formal evaluation form provided by the College. No handwriting is allowed except for your signature. Registration and Records does not accept handwritten evaluations.
- Know the title of your program, course, or contract. The title on your evaluation must be complete and exact, so check the Academic Catalog or program syllabi if you're unsure.
- Use the correct form and don't forget to sign it with blue or black ink only.
- Don't include course equivalencies in your self-evaluation. The document should describe your achievement, not the specific type of credit you received.
- Aim for length of one page per quarter. Save your dissertation for graduate school. If you're having trouble with length, the Writing Center or Career Development can help you pare down your self evaluation.
- Don't repeat the text of the program description or contract. This information will be included in your transcript anyway; adding the text to your self evaluation will only be redundant.
- Check spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and all other technical aspects of your evaluation. Once Registration and Records has received your self-evaluation, it can no longer be revised.
Keep a copy of your self-evaluation for your own records, either on paper or on disk. Registration will not keep additional copies beyond your full transcript.
Two copies of your self evaluation may be submitted directly to Registration and Records.
Faculty Evaluations
Handout: Writing Faculty Evaluations [PDF]
In the faculty evaluation, you should mention those things which have been important to the educational exchange which has occurred between you and the faculty member. The following general evaluation items may help to focus your thoughts. Don't write a list of answers to these questions. Rather, write an essay for which you have prepared yourself by reflecting on your work with the teacher. Remember, specific examples are worth more than generalizations; constructive criticism is more valuable than praise.
Possible Questions to Address in Student Evaluations of Faculty
- How well did the faculty member meet commitments in the following areas?
- Teaching activity directly involving students
- Academic advising of students
- Maintenance of student records
- Academic planning of the program
- Did the faculty member exercise good and fair standards in the awarding of credit to students?
- What evidence did the faculty member show of ability to do the following kinds of work?
- Ability to organize a lecture, seminar discussion, reading list, field trip effort, depending on assignment
- Ability to distinguish and emphasize important concepts for students to grasp, remember
- Ability to formulate clear, useful assignments of reasonable (but challenging!) length and difficulty
- Ability to evaluate students' work fairly--without undue harshness or softness
- Ability to adjust to students' level of comprehension, providing explanations at a level which is understandable to the student
- Ability to communicate enthusiasm and interest for subject matter
- Ability to promote serious and interesting discussion; skill at asking "open-ended" or "divergent" questions; skill at encouraging students to ask questions and initiate discussion
- Ability to tolerate points of view different from his/her own, to encourage independent thinking on the part of students, and to get students to be open to the views of others
- Efficiency in giving students prompt feedback on their work
- Accessibility to students who need academic help
- How well did the faculty member adapt to the team situation? Did he or she handle with authority relations between students and faculty and between faculty and faculty without difficulty? How easily does he or she come to understand the point of view of others? Is the faculty member willing to discuss ideas and functional matters without excessive personal prejudice intervening?
- How able does the faculty member appear to be in handling instruction in his/her principal area of expertise? That is, does he or she have a good grasp of the field?
- Is the faculty member capable of planning and carrying through the coordination of a program? (This is especially applicable to persons teaching in or beyond their third year at Evergreen.)

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Wales captain Sam Warburton has reportedly set the Cardiff Blues and WRU a deadline of Wednesday to finalise his future.
Warburton is out of contract at the end of this season but has expressed a desire to stay in Wales rather than join the exodus abroad.
The likes of Jonathan Davies, George North and Dan Lydiate will all ply their trades outside of Wales next season due to the financial limitations imposed on the regions.
Warburton will now wait to see if an agreement can be reached before moving on most likely to the Top 14, according to the Telegraph.
The WRU has previously stated that financial packages of around £1m would be released to the regions to help keep top players in Wales, but speculation last week suggested that the governing body were happy for the four sides to collapse in order to create a new format.
Leigh Halfpenny's future has reportedly already been decided, with the Telegraph also stating that the IRB Player of the Year nominee has decided to leave the Blues for a move to the Top 14, although his destination is unclear but where his talent would demand a top salary - particularly as a goal kicker.

Where's the indignation of the sheep who were hysterically screaming jjust a few weeks ago that the blown calls by the replacement refs were compromising the "integrity" of the game? Bad calls have occurred EVERY week of EVERY NFL season since the league's inception--the only difference between the bad calls made by the replacement refs and those made by the "regular" refs is that the so-called regular refs have much more exerience and are much-better compensated than their replacement counterparts--you would think the average fan would hold them even more accountable than the replacement refs. Apparently, while the gullible masses were being manipulated by the media into threatening boycotts and demanding more pay and higher benefits for the poor, down-trodden NFL refs, they forgot that the more-experienced refs are often just as fallible and sometimes more prone to make lousy calls than the less experienced "replacement" variety.
Trindon Holliday punt return touchdown ends with possible fumble
Trindon Holliday gave the Broncos a 14-7 lead in Carolina Sunday with a 76-yard punt return TD — his second special-teams TD in as many games. Did he get away with a DeSean Jackson-esque mistake at the goal line this time, though?
Jackson, you may recall, made a similar mistake in a game against Dallas during his rookie season. He caught a long pass from Donovan McNabb behind Dallas' defense but flipped the ball out of his hand just prior to crossing the goal line. That play was reviewed and overturned — Philadelphia was awarded the ball at the 1, but the touchdown was taken off the board.
Holliday appeared to toss the football in celebration just a split-second before crossing the goal line, which would have resulted in a fumble.
You can check out video of the play here on NFL.com, but take a glance at the shots below and see what you think:
Holliday's TD stood, despite the NFL's new rule requiring every scoring play to be reviewed.
Holliday did come very close to stepping out of bounds during his return, which may have garnered the replay booth's attention during the second look. However, it looks like Holliday may have gotten away with one before scoring.
