"There are some nice people in the world, you know, I just don't happen to be related to any of them." – Little Edie
Based on the 1975 documentary of the same name, "Grey Gardens" is a funny, poignant and moving musical that introduces us to Little Edie Beale and her mother, Big Edie. Once part of high society and courted by Howard Hughes and J. Paul Getty, Little Edie lives proudly with her mother in abject poverty and filth in a twenty-eight room dilapidated mansion with innumerable cats and racoons.
Witness the spectacular life and decline of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Little Edie, with the same actress playing the mother role in Act One, and the daughter role in Act Two.
"Can a musical be hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time? GREY GARDENS can! Here's that shot in the arm for theater lovers who've been longing for something bold, haunting and hypnotic to get lost in…Doug Wright's book is nuanced and compassionate…the original score by Scott Frankel and Michael Korie has the power to live in your head long after you leave the theater…GREY GARDENS is more than a unique and unmissable musical: It's a gift." —Rolling Stone Magazine

The other day, Martha and Shaun, the gardener, were discussing the fact that the onions and garlic needed to be harvested. Shaun had planted many, many varieties of onions last spring and there was plenty of garlic planted last autumn. Sharkey and I heard them talking about how you must cure the crop after harvesting so that the outer skins will dry out, forming a protective barrier to keep the insides moist and flavorful during storage. We watched them pull the onions and garlic out of the ground, but we wondered where they were being cured. Sharkey and I decided to go and explore.
Hey Sharkey, come and see what's going on in the cold house. I think we found out where the onions and garlic are being cured.

Although the name 'Endless Summer' (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Endless Summer') could suggest the title of a cable tv show or a soap opera, it is actually the name of a wonderful mophead hydrangea. What makes this hydrangea with its brilliant blue flowers so special is that it reblooms. It blooms on old and new wood in the same season, often blooming in early summer and then in fall. Another positive about 'Endless Summer' is that if a late frost kills the early blooms there will be more to follow. This easy- to-grow hydrangea likes the same things that other mopheads do: ample water (at least an inch per week), morning sun, and afternoon shade. Give it a good home in rich organic soil. If your soil is heavy, consider making a planting bed instead of just a single hole. Planting a hydrangea high as you would an azalea also will improve drainage. Just because a plant likes shade, planting it right next to a large tree is not often a good idea as the plant has to compete with the trees roots for nutrition and moisture. High shade in a yard is a blessing. A nice layer of mulch is always a good idea as it will help to conserve moisture and keep the soil cooler in the summer.
Pruning techniques for 'Endless Summer' are not difficult. Prune mopheads immediately after flowering. Because 'Endless Summer' reblooms, pruning it should occur in late summer to early fall. However, flower buds for the next season may begin to form from August to October so if yours needs pruning, you may have to sacrifice a few late flowers to get this garden task accomplished at the right time. It is a good idea to prune out all the dead canes and even to cut about one third of the older stems to the ground every year. This will encourage your hydrangeas to grow stronger, have a nicer shape, and have more flowers.
My mature 'Endless Summer' is about 5 feet high and almost that wide. It is a joy in the garden as the flowers look like jewels. With so many gorgeous hydrangeas on the market it is often difficult to choose a new one, but those that rebloom are a necessity for the summer garden, guaranteeing you a summer full of endless flowers.

Centro Ecuatoriano para la Promoción y Acción de la Mujer (CEPAM)
Based in Guayaquil, Ecuador's most populous city, CEPAM's focus is twofold: 1) promote sexual and reproductive health and rights, particularly for youth, and 2) prevent gender-based violence.
CEPAM carries out its mission though school- and community-based initiatives, led by peer educators who inform young people about their sexual and reproductive health and rights. It promotes youth-friendly approaches to service provision and trains healthcare professionals to adequately respond to young people's sexual and reproductive health needs.
CEPAM operates a youth center called "Casitas" in one of Guayaquil's poorest neighborhoods where the teen pregnancy rate is nearly 1 in 2. At Casitas, young people can receive counseling, health services, and contraceptives.
CEPAM has also developed innovative program models that successfully prevent gender-based violence, provide counseling and legal assistance to victims, and sensitize healthcare and legal professionals to the needs of survivors. It provides technical assistance to government clinics that are dedicated to the prevention of gender-based violence and the support of its victims.

McDonald's to hold car seat "round up"
AAA and McDonald's have partnered for the AAA Child Safety Seat Round Up. For each child's car seat donated between 9-11 a.m. Aug. 2 at the McDonald's at 235 Meadowlands Blvd., Washington, McDonald's will reward parents with a coupon for a free Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin or new Quarter Pounder.
"We are encouraging people to bring in their car seats they have stored in their attic or garage waiting to be reused or passed on to someone else. More than likely, seats in storage have exceeded the car seat 'life span' of six years and should be destroyed," said Terri Rae Anthony, AAA safety advisor and certified child passenger safety technician. "Every seat we collect is a potential life saved," she added.
When installed and used correctly, child safety seats can reduce fatal injury by up to 71 percent for infants and 54 percent for toddlers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Safe Kids Worldwide.
A child car seat or booster seat is no longer safe if it:
• Has already protected a child in a car crash
• Is more than 6 years old
• Is missing critical parts and pieces (such as the harness or buckle) that can no longer be replaced by the manufacturer
• Is listed on the recall/defect list as needing to be destroyed
"AAA's goal is to see every child from birth through age 8 seated safely and securely in a car seat or booster seat," Anthony said. "The AAA Child Safety Seat Round Up gets us one step closer to this goal by removing unsafe car seats and booster seats from our community."
Partnering with AAA East Central and McDonald's for this event are the following sponsors: SW Highway Safety Network and North Strabane Township Police and Fire Departments.
AAA encourages parents to have their car seats and booster seats inspected by a certified child passenger safety technician. For more information, contact AAA's Safety Department at 412-365-7212. Parents can check for car seat recalls at www.nhtsa.gov/safety/cps.

I'm doing a modified plan too because I am going on vacation on the 21st and I started late too, so my goal was only 75.
But I've decluttered 51 items in the 5 days that I've been participating. With still 11 days to go, if I can keep up the same pace, I'll be making that original 150 number without difficulty!
YOU can do it! Pick your goal (maybe 100 items, since you have 20 days left) and go for it! Maybe you'll be like me and you will surprise yourself too!

Welcome to the largest resource centre about Thailand. At present we have over 5000 pages and we are growing all the time! All of the web sites listed on this page have been produced by past & present students and teachers from the internationally acclaimed Sriwittayapaknam School.
The Paknam Web Network of websites started as a small project at this school. Just about every topic about Thailand is covered. From culture to music and from language to books. As the popularity of the sites grew, so did the costs of running the project. In 2004, a group of teachers and ex-students decided to set up an Internet company in order to continue with the expansion of the network. Today, there are now over 50 web sites about Thailand. Past and present students from the school work on these web sites. This is a showcase of their work and also of the new students who are now in training.

Changes coming in farm lighting
By DANA PETERSEN
As the days grow longer in summer, lighting is less critical for day-to- day chores around the farmstead. Day or night, safety is arguably the most important benefit of good farm lighting, but cost and efficiency should also be taken into consideration.
Incandescent bulbs are inexpensive, but the energy required to power them is mostly wasted as heat, making them a costly lighting source. Developments in lighting technology have produced several energy-efficient alternatives, and the extinction of incandescent bulbs looms ever nearer.
When it comes to indoor lighting, it's no secret that incandescent bulbs will be phased out starting six months from now. I can already envision stockpiles of them in sheds, shops and garages, but delaying the inevitable is just that — a delay. You can buy them while they're still available and stockpile them if you want to, but incandescent bulbs will ultimately disappear from hardware shelves. The schedule to phase out incandescent bulbs at retail locations across the country is:
• 100 W — Jan. 12, 2012
• 75 W — Jan. 1, 2013
• 60 W and 40 W — Jan. 1, 2014
As you consider the alternatives, you may find that comparing the cost and efficiency of different lighting options requires you to put on your thinking cap. Get ready to get comfortable with fractions because the simple "100 W" label won't mean much when you're price-shopping for new lighting solutions.
Lighting terminology
I've included a few terms from the ISU Farm Energy publication to light the way:
• Lumen. Light that can be perceived by the human eye is measured in lumens, or lm. Some parts of the light spectrum are not visible to the naked eye, and therefore are not included in the lumen measurement. In this way, lumens allow us to quantify the power of the light we can see.
• Foot-candles. The level of lighting at a working surface is measured in foot-candles. One foot-candle, or fc, is defined as the amount of illumination from a candle falling on a surface at a distance of 1 foot. Light meters typically measure light levels using foot-candles. One foot-candle is equal to one lumen per square foot, so a brightly lit desk may register approximately 100 fc, while a sunny day outdoors could be as much as 8,000 fc.
• Watt. The amount of energy consumed or produced by something can be measured in watts. Most incandescent bulbs are rated using watts. The equivalent of one watt is 1/746 horsepower.
• Efficiency. Lighting efficiency is measured in light produced per unit of electricity consumed. Units are lumens per watt, or lm/W. For example, 1,200 lumens from a 20-W bulb equals 60 lm/W.
• Average rated life. This is the average number of hours for half the bulbs in a test batch to fail. Average rated life is measured under ideal laboratory conditions. Actual bulb life may be shorter, especially if the bulb is repeatedly exposed to dust, periods of extreme temperatures or humidity, power surges, or constant on/off cycles.
What about bulb life?
If you're chuckling to yourself about farm lights being exposed to dust, power surges and extreme elements, you're not alone. Often "indoor" conditions for many farm buildings would be more accurately characterized as "outdoor" conditions in any other circumstance, especially considering temperature, humidity and dust throughout the year. Dirty bulbs and fixtures can substantially reduce light levels and diminish bulb life over time.
As explained above, bulbs are tested in a laboratory to measure "average rated life." So they rarely last as long as predicted when used in barns or confinement buildings. This is frustrating considering that CFLs and LEDs are more expensive than incandescent bulbs.
However, CFLs still last several times longer than incandescent bulbs and require less electricity, thereby lowering total cost.
Look for more information on farm lighting at the ISU Farm Energy website farmenergy.exnet.iastate.edu.
I'll be writing about a variety of farm lighting topics during the coming months, so stay tuned.
Petersen is program coordinator for the ISU Farm Energy Initiative sponsored by the Iowa Energy Center.

Lexus' answer to the late, lamentable second generation SC is the much sharper RC coupe which evokes an IS in coupe form but far more curvaceously. The RC comes in the RC350 and the sleeker RC F which both debuted at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show
It belches propane flame, flies 70 miles per hour, and can be yours if you're willing to forego a year's salary.

Americas car culture has always created a need for pit stops to re-fuel.
RESTAURANT ROUNDUP | Road food
Gas station gastronomy dots the metro
Fill up your tank with barbecue, burgers, pizza and shawarma, all served in current or former gas stations.
July 11
By JILL WENDHOLT SILVA
The Kansas City Star
In the early days of the nations highways, drivers pulled off into parking lots of roadside diners or drive-ins with carhops.
Today, gas station gastronomy continues to evolve. Some of these kitschy cafés are tucked into quaintly refurbished filling stations, while others have worked their way into the corners of newer convenience store models.
Perhaps the most famous gas station grub in the city is available at Oklahoma Joes original location in a Shamrock station at 47th Avenue and Mission Road, where you can fill er up with a tank of gas or a good slab of ribs.
Another well-known road warrior is Pizza 51, at 51st and Oak streets near UMKC, and Pizza 51 West in Fairway. Both locally owned pizza parlors pay homage to their former gas station roots by serving hubcap-sized, thin-crust pizzas in a garage atmosphere.
For more exotic fare, set your GPS for Papus Mediterranean Café, a popular Waldo neighborhood pit stop with a menu that includes tasty gyros and a truly stunning shawarma platter.
Next, cruise on over to the Filling Station Bar-B-Q in downtown Lees Summit. The former 1930s-era Texaco gas station was restored in the late 1990s. Outside, youll see the original pumps; inside, pig out on all the car-related memorabilia while waiting for deep-fried pickles or tasty pulled pork.
Finally, if you dont really care if youre eating in a gas station or not, head for Genessee Royale Bistro, a converted space where the shabby-chic decor and well-prepared breakfast and lunch fare do absolutely nothing to remind you of the buildings past life.
Oklahoma Joes
3002 W. 47th Ave.
Kansas City, Kan.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 11 to 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; closed Sunday.
Other locations: Oklahoma Joes has storefronts in Olathe and Leawood, but the original in Kansas City, Kan., is the only gas station location. Its been a decade since Anthony Bourdain first ate at Oklahoma Joes, but one comment he made has stayed with restaurant owner Jeff Stehney: Proximity to petroleum products is rarely an impediment to a great meal.
Despite Bourdains globe-trotting culinary travels as a chef, author and TV food personality, it is abundantly clear he has never forgotten the Kansas City barbecue restaurant tucked into a working Shamrock gas station. Bourdain has since gone on to trumpet the barbecue joint in his list of 13 Places You Must Eat Before You Die for Mens Health magazine in 2009, and this spring he highlighted the restaurant in his No Reservations series that airs on the Travel Channel.
Back in the mid-1990s, Stehney was a competition pitmaster who needed a bigger kitchen so he could book more catering jobs. He lived in Westwood at the time and frequented the gas station and convenience store nearby where the owner had added a chicken franchise a few years earlier. The owner quickly decided he hated the restaurant side of the business, and Stehney jumped at the chance to rent the space.
I figured if we were going to turn our lives upside down, it would be good to be close to work, Stehney says. But a restaurant in a gas station next to a then-liquor store is also a great schtick. I felt like it was a genius location.
Though his partner at the time disagreed, Stehney persevered. The corner proved to be busy enough, but there was something else. As a middle-class white guy trying to break into the world of barbecue, he figured cooking ribs in a gas station would give him some much-needed street cred.
Today, Stehneys employees wear T-shirts declaring, My favorite restaurant is in a gas station, while long lines snake between the stores beef jerky and soft drinks.
The payoff for the wait includes such menu items as a slab of tasty ribs or the restaurants signature Carolina-style pulled pork sandwiches served with spicy slaw on top.
The Zagat Survey of Americas Top Restaurants 2011 notes the kitschy, gas station location is part of its charm. Stehney and his wife, Joy, have since opened locations in Olathe and Leawood. But there is only one gas station location.
All the locations do really well, Stehney says, but for that person who has never been to KC, you have to go to the original.
Stehney now owns the gas station and has considered removing the pumps but figures its all part of the ambiance. He hires someone to run that part of the business so he can focus on the food.
I talk gas prices in the morning but I mostly try to ignore that part of it because its not our bread and butter, he says.
Originally a Western Auto built back in the 1960s, the parts department is now a kitchen, the showroom is the dining room and the service bays (which for a time housed a liquor store) serve as a corporate office and a catering commissary.
• Fill er Up: Full slab of ribs ($20.99), Carolina pulled pork sandwich ($6.39), Z-man sandwich (brisket with provolone and onion rings on Kaiser roll, $6.79), cup of smoked chicken gumbo ($4.49).
Genessee Royale Bistro
1531 Genessee St.
Kansas City
Hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday
Step inside Genessee Royale Bistro and youd hardly know it had a previous life as a gas station.
The walls of the dining room are painted a lovely shade of peach and a tapestry of empty old picture frames and mirrors give the interior a shabby-chic appeal.
While the dining room is a wide-open space with new garage doors; the kitchen, pantry, office and bathrooms are tucked into what would have been the original gas stations office space.
Theres a lot going on in a small space, restaurant owner Todd Schulte says. We call it efficient. Everything is at your fingertips.
Which, from a chefs perspective, is really what you need.
By coincidence, in the mid-1990s Schulte worked at Joe Ds Wine Bar (now Julian) in Brookside, another former gas station. Schulte recalls the Joe Ds floor plan was less than ideal, with the walk-in cooler located, rather inconveniently, outside.
When a developer introduced Schulte to a vacant West Bottoms gas station, he already knew what kind of renovation would be required.
The gas pumps were long gone, but he needed to extract the underground gas tanks and pull out the hydraulics for the car lifts in the service bays. He also had to run soil tests to prove there was no environmental contamination. And the bistros much-corroded sheet metal exterior needed restoration and a new coat of paint.
I feel great about the reuse of it, Schulte says. Its a great little building that just needed a breath of fresh air.
But unlike many other gas station restaurants, Schulte steers clear of marketing his bistro with all the kitsch of a former roadside oasis. The breakfast and lunch dishes are carefully crafted, often from local ingredients, such as the Bichelmeyers butchers grind burger. Its served on a Wolfermans muffin both are iconic hometown businesses.
For us and what were doing (with the food), I dont really play up on it. We dont really push the issue, Schulte says. But if thats what youre into, by all means, enjoy.
And occasionally a random customer brings in an antique oil can, which is always graciously accepted.
• Fill er Up: Bichelmeyers butchers grind burger served on a Wolfermans muffin ($8), open-faced hanger steak sandwich with onion-parsley tapenade ($12), Genessee cobb salad ($11). Unlike most gas stations that stick with wine coolers and beer, this bistro serves up some well-made cocktails, including the Dark and Stormy ($8), Bloody Mary ($7) and Campari and grapefruit ($7).
Filling Station Bar-B-Q Restaurant
333 SE Douglas St.
Lees Summit
Hours: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday and Monday; 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Doubtful many customers remember the good ol days, when gas was a mere 23 cents a gallon. If you have to see a number like that to believe it, check out the original antique Sky Chief pump outside the Wilcox Building at the corner of Douglas and Fourth streets in downtown Lees Summit.
The stucco-and-brick building was built in 1935 to serve as a Wilcox service station. It was home to a flower shop before the space was restored in 1998 to become the Filling Station Bar-B-Q Restaurant (unrelated to the Filling Station coffee shop in midtown Kansas City). According to a metal plaque outside the front door, the barbecue-themed pit stop is a great example of a modern adaptive reuse of a historic building.
Today, the interior of this former Texaco station is comfortable and nostalgic, with vintage dining tables, vinyl padded stools and spearmint walls covered in metal gas station advertisements and other car-related memorabilia.
We have a lot of customers who find their old Texaco stuff and give it to us, says restaurant owner Heather ODell.
ODell, 26, started working at the restaurant when she was 15 years old. She recently purchased the business from her mother, adding Sunday hours and several menu items.
The aroma of hickory smoke filled the diner on a recent summer afternoon as lunch customers stood in front of the cash register to place their order. Diners have the option of sitting inside or outside on the patio.
• Fill er Up: Unusual menu items include a fried pickle appetizer ($3.95), smoked Angus burger ($6.50), smoked catfish ($6.50), rib tip sandwich ($6.50), Scimecas mild Italian sausage ($5.75 and $7.25) and turkey legs ($6). Sweets include such gas station classics as the Moon Pie, which found its place into Southern folklore in the 1930s when it became known as the working mans lunch when downed with an RC Cola. Youll also find Cherry Mashes, a candy invented in St. Joseph.
Papus Mediterranean Cafe
604 W. 75th St. (inside a Shell station)
Kansas City
Hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday
Khalid Sirhandi has owned the Shell gas station at 75th Street in Waldo since 2000. An avid cook, he always dreamed of owning a café. So when the economy tanked, Sirhandi and his 32-year-old nephew Shuja Sirhindi started talking about ripping out a drink cooler and a shelf of groceries to make way for a to-go food operation.
Deciding what type of cuisine they wanted to serve proved tricky. Initially they considered adding a name-brand sandwich or pizza franchise. Then they considered focusing on their native Pakistani cuisine. After extensive customer research, they landed on a Mediterranean-themed restaurant because it was more mainstream, Sirhindi says.
Customers might detect a hint of curry in the thinly sliced chicken shawarma because the meat is marinated using a touch of Indian spices, which gives it a distinct flavor.
Business has been brisk, but Sirhindi continues to tweak the concept. For instance, instead of carrying out their orders as expected, customers said they wanted to sit down to eat their food. So tables were added inside the gas station, each with a vase of real flowers, as well as patio seating around back.
We didnt know people would like to sit in a gas station, says Sirhindi, who manages the gas station and restaurant by day for his uncle and works for a Sprint contractor by night.
Sirhindi also discovered that customers enjoyed watching their food being prepared. He created an open kitchen with a bar-level countertop so customers can stand and watch as a cook shaves gyro meat off a cylinder of spiced beef revolving vertically on a stainless steel spit and tucks it into warm pita bread. Garnishes include red onion, lettuce, tomato and a cucumber and yogurt tzatziki sauce.
Customers pay a cashier who sits in a glassed-in box at the entrance of the store. Its one-stop shopping for those who fill their tank, buy a lottery ticket and order some falafel to go. And, of course, a convenience stores soft drink selection is rivaled by few actual restaurants.
We just wanted something a little bit unique, Sirhindi says. I dont know if we would have succeeded if we were in a different neighborhood. I think Waldo is really unique.
Sirhindi continues to work on signs so people who live outside the neighborhood will know Papus resides inside.
• Fill er Up: Chicken shawarma or gyro platter ($7.49), includes a tabbouleh salad, hummus and warm pita; baba ghanoush sandwich ($4.99), appetizer sampler (pick 3) baba ghanoush, hummus, falafel or dolmas and warm pita ($6.99)
Pizza 51 West
5938 Mission Road
West hours: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Lunch starts at 11 a.m. Breakfast pizzas available only at West location.
Other location: Pizza 51, 5060 Oak St. in Brookside
When Jason Pryor lived in Atlanta, he used to eat at a pizza joint in an old gas station near Georgia Institute of Technology.
Back in Kansas City and ready to open his first pizza restaurant, Pryor bought a former Conoco station at 51st and Oak streets, across from the University of Missouri-Kansas City campus, and opened Pizza 51 in 2004. The space had character and worked so well that when Pryor got ready to expand last year he started scouting other former gas stations. Pryor settled on a former Sinclair station on Mission Road in Fairway, opening Pizza 51 West last fall with his wife and partner, Shannon.
If you really think about it, gas stations, no matter how old, were placed on busy intersections, he says, and precisely why these buildings are often razed to make way for the next super-sized QuickTrip or 7-Eleven. The draw is the character of the building and the story that was.
Pizza 51 West has plenty of curb appeal, starting with the fire-engine red vintage 1920s gas pump he bought at an auction in Higginsville, Mo. The pump serves as a sculptural focal point for the distinctive low-slung building with three service-bay doors facing east.
Coincidentally, the original 51st Street location had three service bay doors facing east. So a second gas station location provided consistency of concept.
It was a great opportunity to be consistent with the space, as well as the food, Pryor says.
Of course, there are challenges to adaptive reuse. For instance, the hydraulics for the service bays usually are buried 3 feet deep, requiring the concrete to be re-poured.
In both situations the spaces had to completely gutted, says Pryor, who hired local architect Lon Booher to do the work. Luckily, gas station décor heavy on license plates, hubcaps, tin signs and postcards keeps some of the costs down for a mom-and-pop shop by providing an ambiance of nostalgia for older customers and entertainment for younger customers.
Dining out is more than just a meal, Pryor says. Nowadays, you have to offer an experience.
Customers to both restaurants can order thin crust pizzas with names like the Highway Special, then sit indoors close to the pizza-tossing action or outdoors on the patio. I dined with four teenagers in tow so I ordered two large pizzas to fill them up, but the truth is the largest pizza (26 inches) is way bigger than most hubcaps and might not even fit into some compact cars. We werent even able to make a dent in two 18-inch pizzas, so there was plenty to take home.
• Fill er Up: The Highway Special (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, black olives, $5.99 per slice to $39.99 for 26-inch pie) or Take the High Road (create your own pizza), skillet breakfast pizzas (an 8-inch pie with eggs, cheese and your choice of toppings), sandwiches, wraps and calzones.
More pit stop options
Here are a few more gas station restaurant incarnations we found along the way. If you know of others we missed that are worth a pit stop, send your suggestions to email@example.com.
• Roasterie Café, 6223 Brookside Blvd.: Local coffee baron Danny ONeill opened a cozy neighborhood coffee house in a former Amoco station.
• Julian, 6227 Brookside Plaza: James Beard award-winning chef Celina Tio completely remodeled Joe Ds, a funky yet cozy Brookside dining fixture. Years ago, the little building had flown the Skelly and Texaco flags.
• Hi Hat Coffee, 5012 State Line Road: An elegant but tiny Tudor revival building, the space has long been a beloved neighborhood coffee shop with past lives as a barbershop and a hair and nail salon. But the space also was a Phillips 66 in the 1930s.
• Filling Station, 2980 McGee Trafficway: This former gas station turned coffee garage in the Union Hill neighborhood serves espresso drinks, fresh juices, breakfast, lunch and snacks to a hip and trendy crowd.
• Basil Leaf Café, 3300 W. Sixth St., Lawrence: Tucked into a Phillips 66 station, the café features a menu offering upscale Italian, including Shrimp Fettuccine in Lobster Sauce and Guinness Risotto.

TSG Hoffenheim v Borussia Monchengladbach: Preview
Marco Kurz takes his seat on the Hoffenheim bench for the first time tomorrow, hoping to be able to turn around the club's fortunes immediately.
Kurz has replaced Markus Babbel, who was dismissed before Christmas with the club ending 2012 in a relegation play-off berth - a far cry from the European ambitions the club started the season with.
Kurz built his reputation on keeping Kaiserslautern in the top flight three years ago and a repeat of that achievement is what Hoffenheim are hoping for, which is why a win over Gladbach would put them in the right frame of mind coming into 2013.
``None of the players can be pleased with the way they played in the first half of the season,'' he said in the Bild newspaper.
``Everybody has got to take more responsibility. We conceded 41 goals, which are just too many.
``Everybody has a duty to play better.''
Kurz has made his first decisions since arriving by scrapping Tim Wiese of the captaincy in favour of Andreas Beck and Sejad Salihovic, with the former wearing the armband, but Wiese has been chosen over Koen Casteels as Kurz's number one goalkeeper.
``Tim has been very engaged and professional in training, as have the other goalkeepers, but with his class and experience, he will be a great foundation for our team in the second half of the season,'' said Kurz.
There has never been any doubting Marc Andre ter Stegen's status as Gladbach's number one.
Indeed, apart from a knock to the knee of Patrick Herrmann, Gladbach coach Lucien Favre is able to name an unchanged side to the one which was beginning to find form before the winter break.
``It's not going to be easy for us, but of course we want to make a successful start to the second half of the season,'' said Favre.

Air date reflects first showing in Bulgaria; first aired in the US on July 27, 2009.
Based on the Marvel Comics classic, this new animated series focuses on the education of Peter Parker as he encounters his greatest villains, falls for his greatest loves, and faces his most dire crises, all with lots of exciting Spider-Man action. The series begins four months after a spider bite left 16-year-old Peter Parker with the superpowers that have transformed him into Spectacular Spider-Man. Still upset over the death of his uncle Ben, Peter has been working through his grief by spending the entire summer vacation taking down everyday criminals. While he revels in battling muggers, thieves and carjackers, it hasn't been much of a challenge for Peter. And while it's all been fun and fulfulling, his life as a superhero undergoes a profound change once he goes toe-to-toe with his first real supervillain, the Vulture. Over 13 episodes, Peter faces a collection of rogues, such as the Lizard, Green Goblin, Kingpin and Venom, who all want to "teach that Spectacular Spider-Man a lesson!" In addition to such familiar locations as Peter's home in Forest Hills, Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School, the E.S.U. Laboratory and the Daily Bugle, the series features a host of classic Spider-Man characters, including May Parker, Dr. Otto Octavius, Harry Osborn, Gwen Stacy, Flash Thompson, Dr. Curtis Connors, Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, Eddie Brock and J. Jonah Jameson. As he does his best to balance the many pressures of life as a high school student with those of an emerging crime-fighter, Peter learns about love, life, family, friendship, and what it takes to translate great power to great responsibility - all in a way that young audiences can readily relate to. It's a hero's journey that has Peter growing up as he battles the forces of evil.
Working title of series: "The Amazing Spider-Man."

I lied, it isn't a quick question. My girlfriend just purchased a Pavilion dv5-2129wm laptop. I have never looked into hackintoshing because...well...I already own a real Mac. I'm not expecting an actual reply here, just a link or point in the right direction
So. Specs are below. Is it extremely hard to do? I have a Snow Leopard installation disc (also a regular leopard one). I don't know if that helps, because i'm sure I have to download a custom ISO or something similar. Anyways, all help is appreciated

Volo 2009 Cask Fest. Cross-style, it is a well-hopped porter. Stouty, there is mollasses. Citrus hops. Pours dark with a soapy head. A complex tasting,one sip is more porter, another more roast, another hoppier and one worth having again.This brewer is delivering interesting and hoppy new beers.

355ml brown bottle poured in a pint glass. Purchased from Zyn in Calgary.
Light brown head is 1 inch on the pour. Recedes to a thick cap with gobs of lacing down the sides. Dark Brown, cola in appearance.
Roasty coffee notes. Roasted and burnt malts. Flowery and citrus hops in the background.
Roasty malt flavours up front. Hints of burnt malt, coffee, chocolate, toffee with just a hint of hops in the background.
Light-Medium bodied. A little thin for what I was expecting. Lightly carbonated.
An easy drinking brew. It could use a little more hops to give it some bite and balance. Not the best I've had, but all in all a good effort.

Pours a nice brownish black with about three fingers of mocha head. Aroma is very malty, chocolate, coffee, with a little cream or vanilla sweetness and a dash of citrus hops. Taste is again malts forward, a well-integrated blend of creamy coffee, chocolate, a nutty bitterness. Hops are second place to the malts, does not taste like an IPA but more like a well-bittered and refreshing dunkel with more floral and leafy aromatics. I taste little citrus but its lurking in there somewhere. Very dry finish and a crisp refreshing character to go with the dark roasty malts. Only had one bottle in my possession and would welcome another.

I often walked past this intriguing little colourful bottle in my local MLCC. Been meaning to try this beer for quite sometime. Anyway cut to the chase, i purchased one and very glad that I did.
On opening the bottle, the slight smell of Coffee and slight wiff off chocolate greet you. Also a wonderful smell off malts. Enjoying it already and not even tasted it yet!
The pouring of the beer produced swirling tones of brown and amber shades, finished off with a nice decent creamy head.
Now for the taste, the earlier smell off chocolate and coffee were now evident with my first taste, and the malts kicked in seconds later. I am enjoying this!
Mouthfeel excellent, a slight bubbly feel if that makes sense.
Overall I really enjoyed this delightful Dark Ale. I will not be walking past this little rascal again. Well worth a try.

Appearance - Pours a dark ruby brown with a finger width of beige head.
Smell - Leafy and piney hops, coffee bean, roasted malts, hint of vanilla bean.
Taste - Bold roasted flavours of malts and coffee bean up front, along with the hops and hint of vanilla. Roasted flavour lingers in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall - An interesting take on the Cascadian by adding so much roasted/coffee bean character to it. A bit malt heavy and I would like to taste more hops in this.

Poured from the bottle into a Carlsberg tulip tall pint glass. From notes.
A very dark walnut black body with a very yellow three finger head. Big retention on the head, with circular rings of lace.
Nose is a great citrus grapefruit zest and flesh. Hop forward almost west coast sense, maybe even north west style. Little roast character it seems, but a great hop front. Incredibly fruity.
Palate does an almost 180 on the hop front. Hop angle comes out with juice orange and tea herbal bitters. Malt roast character a little bit on the finish, with a good black tea like finish. Light bodied palate with some juicy character.
Overall I have never had a black ipa smell and taste like this and be so varied. It seems liie a mix of American and English IPA style in a black ale. Very memorable, love it!

Pours a dark brown colour with about two fingers of an offwhite head that disipates rathery quickly. Smells of cocoa, earthy/citrus hops, roasted malt, coffee and sweet molasses. The taste follows the smell with chocolate and cocoa. Reminds me a bit of a stout. Little bit of coffee bitterness. Some caramel and malt sweetness. Bitter, earthy and citrus hops. Slightly grassy aftertaste. Roasted, bready malts and a bit of nuttyness. Medium light, carbonated, dry mouthfeel. Definitly worth having again.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a standard pint glass. Thanks again Colt for including it in the last box! The label on this bottle is awesome - def keeping it around.
A - pours a medium brown color with a one finger kahki colored head. Head dissipated almost immediately leaving a small puddle of foam left in the center of the glass.
S - predominantly cocoa and chocolate, slightly roasty with some coffee character. Molasses. Doughnut. I am surprised there's not much in the way of hops except some earthyness.
T - the nose follows the aroma with lots of chocolate and cocoa - very stoutish. Some coffee with some caramel sweetness. Still not getting much in flavor hops except a slight grassy, earthly profile. Nutty. Slightly bready and malty. A nice, fairly clean, firm biterness linger slightly providing depth without wrecking my palate.
M - medium-light bodied.
D - somewhat high for me. Consumed most of the bottle during the review.
Overall, a nice beer. They could just call it a hoppy stout instead and almost get away with it. I would like to have seen some more flavor hops in it. A nice citrus profile would go well with the dark grains in this one.

12oz bottle smuggled home from Toronto in my luggage. Bottled 5/25/12. Served in a Red Brick snifter.
Pours a deep, near black brown with a thick two finger dark cream head. Semi opaque, allowing light through around the edges. Plenty of lacing left caked on the glass.
Smells great. Some orangey hops immediately give way to smokey malts.
Taste is the expected mix of citrus hoppy and roasty malts. Well balanced.
Medium feel with light to moderate carbonation. No noticeable alcohol. Nice dry roasty hoppy finish.
Based on the couple brews I tried from Flying Monkeys, I'm gonna need to try more. Nothing show stopping in the Netherworld but it's quite good and very easy to drink.

355 mL bottle from the LCBO; packaged March 6th of this year.
Pours an opaque brown colour, with deep crimson highlights. Three fingers of light, tan-coloured head erupt at the surface, lasting a good long while before thinning out to a creamy cap, and leaving lots of sticky lacing behind on the sides of the glass as it dissipates. Pleasant, hoppy aroma with notes of grapefruit and pine, as well as some roasted biscuit malts in the background. Nice smells, but a little weak in intensity.
Very tasty stuff, with a good balance between hops and malts. The bitter, herbal flavours of the piney, grapefruit-y hops are strong without being overbearing, so that the malty dark chocolate and roasted coffee notes are unlikely to be lost in the mix. Bitter, roasty aftertaste that makes me want to take another sip. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel somewhere between creamy and oily.
Final Grade: 4.08, a very respectable A-. I don't get around to drinking black ales that often, mostly because they're just not particularly easy to find around here. So when I say that this is the best one I've ever tried, that statement must obviously be taken with a grain of salt. Still, from what I know of the style this is at the very least a solid example, if not an outstanding one.
I'm very satisfied with this purchase; Flying Monkeys still has never disappointed me. This is sessionable enough, but I think their Hoptical Illusion might fit that niche a bit better for me as it comes across as a bit lighter. This stuff, on the other hand, is the sort of brew where two would be enough for the night (before moving onto something else, anyway). Still, I would happily recommend Netherworld to anyone looking for a quality Ontario black ale.

A- Pours a cola brown color, with clear tinges around the outskirts of my glass, but otherwise cloudy. The head isn't really thick, but what there is, is dense, tan in color and retains decently. The lacing is excellent, leaving behind a mountainous landscape of a fine bubbly film! Overall a good looking beer...
S- Malt right upfront, with rich dark aromas of chocolate, toffee, and even a sweetness that reminds me of a handcrafted root beer syrup. There is also some toasted nuttiness....no real bitterness is noted.
T- The flavors are quite different from what I smelled. Gone is the sweet root beer and in is a distinctive bitterness that kind of lingers throughout the taste. I find there is also more of an Earthy, herbal quality that tastes the way pine and/or cedar would smell. The toffee malt sweetness is still there, but is well balanced with the bitterness.
M- Solid medium body, with a decent amount of carbonation, and it isn't really creamy, but not offensive either. It feels like some sort of liquid dark rye bread on my palate...it's a good mouthfeel I have to say.
O- This is a well balanced, flavorful, and aromatic beer that I think would appeal to a larger group of beer drinkers. The alcohol, which is over 6%, is kept to a minimum, and I think this would pair well with a variety of foods, such as the Colby cheddar that I had with it. A great beer from a reputable brewer of Ontario!

355 mL bottle poured into a sleeve. An undated bottle, though purchased within a week of being put on the shelves at the MLCC.
A: Deep brown and virtually opaque with a tan head that laces well.
S: Seducing roasted malts with tons of chocolate, cocoa and coffee notes with a light bit of grapefruit from the hops in behind it. Clearly this is a so called Black IPA that leans more to the hoppy porter realm of the spectrum.
T: A mixed bag. There are some moments where the beer is delectable. A sharp bitter bite that plays with a caramel sweetness with a little bit of coffee an d roasted malts in there. Surprisingly, the hops (although very evident) are a secondary player in the flavour game. Citrusy hops are evident though the roasted flavours come through first. The mixed bag though is that there are a few mouthfuls where and acrid roasted notes through, reminding me of chewing on charcoal. If this had occurred more often, this beer would easily have been a drain pour. Those mouthfuls were disgusting...
M: As above. At times acrid, bitter and sweet.
O: With the exception of those 10-12 sips of charcoal, a good beer I would have liked to try again, save my fear of the burnt flavour...

A: Pours russet-tinged black, opaque with a nice, sizeable head of dense dark tan foam. Good retention, gradually dissipating to patches of frothy tan foam and leaving some lacing.
S: Grapefruity Cascade hops dominate the nose with some floral backing, black coffee, and biscuit and roasted malts rounded out by hints of butteriness, black molasses, and cocoa.
T: Cascade hops throughout as expected, with slightly sweet biscuit and roasted malts with a strong black coffee character. Sharply piney hops (probably Chinook) towards the end with another burst of Cascade grapefruit.
M: Medium-bodied with smooth, pinprick carbonation and some chewiness. I know that the hoppiness is entirely to-style, but it throws out any semblance of balance and feels excessively astringent.
D: High quality example of this style, but not personally my thing so I'll err on the side of generosity. I've just never gotten the appeal of these American ale styles that are just English ale styles loaded with citric American hops. If you like that, though, grab this brew ASAP.

Bottled Oct.11/2011. Could have sworn I reviewed this before but I guess not.
Deep brown, ruby highlights, one finger of tan head sticky with some lace. Smell is of coffee and chocolate, citrus and lots of roasted malts, fairly hoppy with bittersweet notes. Lots of hops and citrus up front followed by roasted malt, very chocolatey, coffee, bittersweet bakers chocolate, lots of grapefruit and tangerine in the finish with some pine. Medium lively carbonation, full body, some good hop oil feel, nice weight. This is pretty good, nice mix of hops and roast, this was far better than I remember it being don't know if it was a recipe tweak or the freshness that made this a solid drinker, will revisit this from time to time gladly.

Pretty, pretty label. The goth in me is going squee.
A: dark, with a milky-coffee-coloured head. Very dark. If I hold it up to the light I see a refracted rim of red at the bottom of the glass, and that's it. Nothing else gets through. Nerd humour time: there's an equation in astrophysics called Beer's Law. It has to do with how much light is transmitted through stuff. Fun fact.
S: Iron. Protein? Yummy. Malty and nutty.
T: caramel and smoke, but not sweet. Almost more bitterness than I like. I've never had this hoppy fruity flavour from such a dark beer before. The caramel goes away and the smoke comes out as the glass warms up.
M: rich, creamy. A tiny bit of fizzy tang that goes away fast.
O: really nice. Maybe a little too bitter for me, but I'd drink it again.
NOTE: Now I really understand what 'lacing' means. The beer is gone but my glass looks like an old brown doily.

Got this as an extra in a trade with a BA in Nova Scotia for some Peche Mortel. Truthfully, I'd rather be drinking Peche Mortel. Poured this from a bottle into a pint glass. Poured with virtually zero head. A mostly opaque brown fluid, lifting this to my face for the first time produced a whiff of I don't know what. Was almost, herbal. The first taste was the third to last. I just can't do this one. Yuck.

A - Pours a dark dark brown colour, finger of mocha head with solid retention and some nice sheeting lacing.
S - The chocolate and espresso notes dominate and the citrus hops come through nicely on the finish.
T - Quality take on the black IPA with the bitter citrus hops grasping your tastebuds off the top and the chocolate malts coming through and lingering nicely on the finish. The bitterness is not overwhelming, and the chocolate and espresso notes come off more on the sweet side.
M - Medium bodied, filling the tongue nicely, but a tad prickly on the way down. Finishes surprisingly wet.
O - Certainly an easy drinking black IPA with some bold flavours that will leave you wanting more. Glad I had an opportunity to try it.

Very dark brown colour with a big, fluffy tan head. Good head retention.
Big, sharp piney aroma with some mild citrus notes. Quite sweet malt but that works here with some nice caramel and sweet chocolate tones.
A well balanced combination of chocolatey, nutty malt and piney, citrusy hops. Good, medium bitterness.
Medium full body with moderately low carbonation. Good.
A really solid beer and one of my favourites of the trip so far. Fantastically hoppy with a small dose of chocolatey malt.

Bottle from peensteen. Served in a CCBW pint glass.
A - A finger and a half of dark tan creamy foam that has very good retention. Body is dark brown at first blush, but reveals transparency and some raisin coloration when held to the light. Splotchy lace lingers on the sides of the glass.
S - Smells good too - roasted malts, molasses, light coffee, and chocolate mingle with some floral and piney hops.
T - Hmmm. Very bitter, chalky, and astringent. Sweetness is largely gone, and what remains is herbs, pine, and stale coffee. There's a faint kiss of vanilla at the tip of the tongue but it's gone in a flash. Not my cup of tea.
M - Somewhat watery, medium-light body, moderate carbonation tingle, and a dry roasty finish. Texture is smooth and pleasant, and alcohol isn't present.
D - I much prefer Smashbomb to this offering. A little more sugar would have gone a long way as the bitterness and astringency gets fatiguing. I struggled a little with my 12oz bottle and don't think I could have had another.

Taste: Roasted but not aggressive. Hops are present but more in the form of orange fruit notes.
Mouthfeel: A full body with decent carbonation and quite pleasant.

Appearance- Poured a massive three finger off white head that very slowly dissipates to a think lacing that leaves a good amount of spotting throughout on the glass. It does kind of resemble a porter having a dark brown colour but still lets enough light through.
Smell- Lots of pine and hops smells right away with some dark roasted malts coming through eventually in the end. Not too much going on in the smells department but for an "almost pale ale" it suits the bill.
Taste- Pine flavours and earthy hops definitely dominate the palette, with the roasted malts coming through in the finish, a slight bitterness thrown in there as well from the hops.
Mouthfeel- Well carbonated, light-medium bodied ale that goes down surprisingly smooth, hides the 6.5% ABV very well.
Overall- All in all a very good brew from Flying Monkeys, has those great hop flavours that hopheads crave, but still has that dark roasted malt taste that the stout/porter crowd can appreciate. Happy that I can find this beer at the local LCBO on a regular basis, and kind of surprised such a great beer is crafted in Ontario, would definitely buy this one again.
