My Favorite American Cities
Modern Retro TV: An Absolutely Classic Iron Chef (America)
So last night, the smoke was thick in the back room and I decided to pop on an absolutely CLASSIC Iron Chef America. Up there with the legendary Batali Parmesan Wheel & Morimoto Ice Smoker battles, this one is one of the all-time greatest:
Iron Chef Bobby Flay vs. Rick Bayless, Battle Buffalo.
This is the first episode in the "new" Kitchen Stadium set, now filmed in New York.
This is the first episode of the show after the "Battle of the Masters" miniseries.
This is the season where The Chairman has a sleek, bald head.
One of the judges was Jeffrey Steingarten. Yes, the curmudgeonly, slovenly, culinary wordsmith that does not withhold thoughts to spare feelings, even in the face of legends.
Worth noting: Flay was a relative neophyte with an (at the time) lifetime 3-1 record in Kitchen Stadium.
The ingredient, Buffalo (nee, Bison), represents the most significant mammal in North American history; appropriate for two chefs that are unabashedly NorteAmericano in style, presentation & usage ofingredients (chile peppers, anyone?).
The wacky professor Alton Brown's always informative narration was highlit by a sidebar on the differences between chile peppers (a chipotle is a smoked, dried jalapeno & an ancho is a smoked, dried Poblano, radically altering texture & flavor of both chiles).
Kevin Brauch was even notable, mostly for his gross mispronunciation of the names of the chile peppers (pasillo? rell-eno?), but his Canadian charm and shameless mid-chefery interviewing were in full bloom, and his role is minimized enough to keep his value high.
Mostly, though,what ensued was a culinary how-to on preparation of the most American of all ingredients, with the most excitingly authentic regional preparations. The chefs used nearly identical base ingredients (chile peppers, tons of 'em; heads upon heads of garlic; cilantro), but the differentiation was with Bayless's use of the native-to-Mexico huitlacoche & epazote, while Flay focused on his forte; grilling & sauces. The end result was drastically differing dishes, but a high-level competitive battle that pleased all judges. . .including Steingarten
The result was a one point victory (the sole difference being in the Plating category), but you'll have to pull it up to see who wins. Here's Part I of the episode; watch and enjoy:
Jim Mora Rips Doug Gottlieb ON-AIR (with Audio)
(thank you Jose Bernstein of Bel-Air for the tip)
With the lackluster & overrated Doug Gottlieb subbing in for the woebegone and past-his-prime-because-he-went-Hollywood Colin Cowherd on ESPNRadio this morning, Jim Mora completely disrespects the fill-in host ON-AIR with such gems as "Is this your first interview? Jesus Christ, what kind of questions are these?" Mora closes with: "You were a real joy, thanks."
This is incredibly good – here's the video:
The Kid has Left the Building: Griffey Jr. Retires
There was not much to celebrate in the baseball element of Ken Griffey Jr.'s 40th year in life – and 22nd in the Major Leagues – as his .184 batting average, zero homeruns and spotty/erratic playing time have left The Kid with time to snooze and reflect on his Hall of Fame career.
Far superior career eulogies will be written than what you'll read in the space/time allotted here, so permit YKI to reflect fondly on the impending finality of the chapter entitled My Generation's Baseball Heroes. Along with Frank Thomas, the sport has lost perhaps the only two offensive juggernauts of the 90's who escaped the stigma of The Steroid Era.
Griffey's career spanned four decades, providing copious highlights, gems, lasers and bombs to fans throughout the world, who marveled at the growth & maturation of June-Bug. A list of Griffey's greatest moments as a Mariner is presented here, apt insomuch as despite productive stops in Cincinnati & (south side) Chicago, Jr. will always be remembered as a Mariner. The back-to-back homeruns with his father, the dash home versus the Yankees, his countless Gold Glove catches. . .defined baseball to a generation further sidetracked by the more action-laden basketball & football, always reminding us that the Summer belonged to the Kids.
And without further adieu, YKI's rememberences of Griffey Jr:
Again – Lebron Sucks
Actual quote from everybody's-hero-yet-owner-of-zero-rings Lebron James, after last night's debacle:
"I spoil a lot of people with my play. When you have three bad games in seven years, it's easy to point them out."
Also note that James proclaimed July 1, 2010, as the biggest day in the history of basketball, ramping up suspense of his ultimate decision: Do I stay or do I go?
Are you serious, Lebron?
Look – everybody knows that in overall physical talent & ability, you really are the greatest player to walk the court. The difference – and why YKI will continue to harangue you – is that you'd rather be a billionaire, a 'Brand,' a 'Global Empire', rather than win rings.
You keep the entire basketball world hanging on your decision of whether forsaking your childhood home, your friends that love you and your foundational support base is a good idea, as opposed to conquering Madison Avenue or South Beach.
In short, Lebron – Grow Up. You really do have the world at your fingertips, now own up to it and start acting like a Man.
Setting the Record Straight on Duke vs. Butler
Duke vs. Butler last night: a Championship game of historical proportions.
That proportion being, of course, "most white guys on the court in a Championship Game since the Peach Baskets were removed." This was a phenomenal 'matchup,' precisely the type of game that would form an intriguing Sweet 16 matchup in the years prior to 'One and Done.' Both teams have nice stories (wow – an underrated, gritty Duke team that Mike Krzyzewski deemed one of his lesser-talented squads vs. the 'Hoosiers' Butler squad), but the caliber of talent was not nearly what should be expected in a title game.
Those expecting Showtime or something similar were severely disappointed: Last's night's game, while certainly thrilling, was clumsy, awkward, graceless, and at times downright painful to watch. Butler's offense seemed to revolve around one guy: 20-year old Gordon Hayward who lunged his rickety frame gamely into the paint over and over again only to be rebuffed by someone taller, more athletic, and more avidly-recruited.
And Duke? All I'm saying is when a guy named Kyle Singler is a runaway force on offense (also lunging his rickety frame into the paint over and over again, but with more success) it's not Showtime.
It's. . . . . . . . . . Slowtime.
The game itself was great, and I appreciate the 'purity' of College Hoops, but seriously – I yearn for the days of serious Final Fours with superstars galore, or at least a Carmelo Anthony. But this year? We'll be lucky if Singler, Hawyard or even Jon Scheyer grow into the status of say a Kirk Hinrich.
The McGwires and Ari Fleischer
Following up on the McGwire steroids admission, Jay McGwire sat down with ESPN in attempts to confess (?) on behalf of big brother (and USC alumnus) Mark that he, in fact, is the reason Mark used performance enhancing drugs.
Mike Fish of ESPN Outside the Lines has the rest of the story here. To be honest, nothing about this was shocking – in fact, prior to Mark's confession I recall there being an 'in-house' controversy between brothers about Jay going public. Speaking of brothers, what happened to quarterback Dan McGwire?
Back to the story, though – my favorite element was actually this:
Mark McGwire did not return phone requests left with his spokesman, Ari Fleischer, on Wednesday. Efforts also were made to reach McGwire through the Cardinals.'
Yes, THAT Ari Fleischer, he of the 'GOP Dream/Nightmare Team' of Rummy, Cheney, et al.

According to XML rules such a doc, without an explicit encoding declaration, should be taken as UTF-8 or UTF-16 (automatically detected). Do we have a clash between two different rule sets here? Does it matter if XHTML is served as "text/xml" or "text/html"? Would the rules for encodings, http versus in-doc declarations, be different? If the http charset parameter says one thing, and the in-doc declaration says another thing, which one should take precedence? According to the XHTML spec encoding info in an XML declaration takes precedence over meta-element charset info, but does it win over true http charset info as well? The current practice is to let meta charset info win over true http charset info, which might be in violation of the rules. This is confusing already. Bringing in XML declarations (and the default encoding when there is no XML declaration, or when there is no encoding attribute in the XML declaration) makes this even more confusing. I've been wondering about this for a long time. I'd like to find clear rules based on understandable logic, but I haven't found that yet.

The importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, achieving energy independence, and relieving congested energy transmission routes has elevated renewable energy on U.S. public policy agendas and in the public consciousness.
Because the Mid-Atlantic has a gently sloping continental shelf and strong offshore winds, offshore wind energy has become a focus of policy, research, and investment. The five Mid-Atlantic states include wind as a target source of energy for utilities to meet renewable portfolio standards or goals.
Alongside the interest in offshore wind's potential to address energy and climate issues, however, are questions about the potential effects on marine life and other existing and future uses of the ocean.
Selected Initiatives in the Region
A Guide to State Management of Offshore Wind Energy in the Mid-Atlantic Region
In coordination with the Environmental Law Institute, MARCO released a guide that provides an overview of the issues affecting offshore wind energy projects in the region and identifies the basic elements of state authority to address resource concerns and competing uses such as navigation and fishing.

Reaching Hand impacts 12465 children through quality education, health care and skill development
- Divya G Rao
Likitha, who was unable to come to school after she hit puberty, was very fortunate that Reaching Hands found her school and decided to implement their 'Girls Glory programme.' This programme aims in building functional toilets for the girls in school. This step is deliberately taken to combat the social taboos associated with menstrual cycles. With the help of the organisation, there were two functional toilets built in the school premises and a few sessions on sex education really helped Likitha and others to come back to school. Likitha was more comfortable when she learnt that these toilets ...

- Divya G Rao
Rachel, a Cerebral Palsy child was very delicate and needed special care when she was brought in to Diya Foundation. But at that time, the organisation did not have all the facilities to provide special care, such as toilet training etc. That is when, Rachel's parents were very supportive and were committed to do anything to make sure there is not much trouble to the organisation. Rachel was in the organisation for a brief period, before she fell very sick and was admitted to the hospital. On her birthday, the doctors said she wouldn't make it. So, Diya ...

- Shreedhar, SPARSH Hospital
It is always an amazing feeling to be participating in the TCS W10K Bangalore. This is the 3rd successive year I have participated in the 5.7KM Majja Run and believe me every year is a unique experience.
Running midst thousands of enthusiastic sports loving people, being flagged off by International and Domestic celebrities, having people cheering you as you run past them, wearing colorful dresses with carefully chosen slogans, etc. gives you the extra kick and energy. It makes you feel much younger to whatever age group you belong to.

Since getting back into running I have been for a few jogs on the road, but most of them have been in the gym on the treadmill. I've been pretty happy with this because:
1. I can monitor my progress in the gym
2. If someone is on the treadmill next to me I find myself pushing to go further
3. Jogging on the road comes with baggage
Let me explain point 3…
Over the weekend, I decided it would be nice not to exercise on my own. After an hour warmup on the Nintendo Wii (and finally completing a few of the balancing games which I'm normally rubbish at *hooray*), I left the flat with my sister to go on a lovely jog/power walk to have a catch up and a natter. With rain almost upon us and the sun at bay, it was perfect weather. We decided to go the 'scenic' route down the nearby canal.
Although it is often on the main roads where you get the occasional distracting wolf whistle or cry of "hello ladies" from construction workers (terribly sorry for the stereotype but that's just from my experience!) it was this pretty ordinary day on the canal that we got an unfortunate reminder of what people think of us. With hurls of abuse such as "you gingers should die" and "go home you evil ginger mingers" I was almost put off from carrying on. The lads, who were fishing on the other side of the canal, then started to throw bait in our direction.
Unfortunately, this isn't really new to my sister and me.
Being a redhead comes with its downfalls, and for me, sensitivity to heat/sunshine is a major one – and if you read my blog regularly/follow me on Twitter, you're probably sick of hearing about it! Sorry!
But one trait that is pretty consistent, particularly in the UK, is bullying. I got this a lot at school, as do most kids, when you're young. My sister had her hair set on fire on public transport when she was young. I've had rubbish thrown at me in the street, all up until I was at university. I feel it has made me a stronger person, and I try not to dwell on it too much these days. I'm not fishing for sympathy.
However, when I'm just out with my sister at the weekend, trying to get some exercise, I really don't expect to be harassed. Especially when I'm trying to better myself. Why would they put someone down like that?
I've seen people who have been yelled at when they are running, for no particular reason. I, not so long ago, saw some chavs shouting "fatty" at a jogger. She wasn't massive and luckily had her headphones in so was nonethewiser. I feel bad for those who maybe don't have the luxury of a gym membership, and really want to make an effort to get some fitness into their lives, because I know there will always be nincompoops (crikey I love that word) around to put you down.
If you shout things at people running on the street, unless it is cheering someone on as part of an arranged fun run, then you should be ashamed of yourself. This is a polite request to be nice in the future.
If anyone needs me, I'll be back in the gym listening to Tim Minchin…..

ShowBox App Download
ShowBox App Download – Show Box APK Download for Android: This is the era of internet and mobile smart devices. The mobile smart devices that we carry along with us can be coupled with the Internet to create a whole ecosystem of some of the most powerful tools in the world. These mobile smart devices have the capabilities of doing many of our day to day tasks easily. Shopping, paying bills online and even entertainment.
We all love watching movies, TV shows and more and with the help of today's technology, we can actually watch any TV show made in any part of the world with ease. You can choose to watch a Spanish TV show if you wish to even if you are living somewhere else and the internet will provide you the means to watch that show. All this is possible because of our mobile and computers that can take advantage of the high speed internet connection that we have nowadays with us. We can choose to be connected on 3G, 4G etc. and we will be able to connect to the internet with some really good and high speed. Thanks to this high speed, we can download the TV shows and watch but downloading and watching these TV shows take time. Why you ask? Well, first you need to find a source to download these TV shows and then if you download some unknown format, you need to find a media player that can play those formats. This is an additional headache and takes time. I know many people who have wasted so much of their time with these processes.
ShowBox App Download – ShowBox APK for Android
One good solution to all this is streaming the show or movie directly to your device which is a really feasible option taking the high speed internet connections into consideration. Streaming has many advantages over downloading the stuff you want to watching. First of all, you do not have to wait – at all. All you need to do is have a good streaming service that you can use for yourself and then you can watch your chosen shows whenever you wish to – wherever you wish to do so. Now what service do we use in order to stream these things on our devices. There are so many services like Netflix, Hulu and more. But all these are very costly and not feasible. Above all that, they are not even available in many places. This is not a good thing in the modern age. The solution to this is to use an app that one can use easily on any device. One such app is ShowBox. The ShowBox App is one of the best apps to watch your favorite TV shows and movies.
There are many apps that you can use to watch your TV series or your movie on your mobile devices. But the question is, which one works best and has the largest collection of them all.
ShowBox is basically an app that you can use to watch free movies and TV shows on your Android device. It is currently one of the best free apps available on Android that will allow you to watch TV shows and movies for FREE and that too in HD quality.
Sadly, ShowBox Download for the app is not available on Play Store yet but with the open nature of Android, it is really easy to side load it on your Android device.
In this post I will tell you how you can easily install ShowBox on an Android device which can either be a tablet or a phone and this tutorial will work for both of these devices.
Without any further ado, let's start.
How to Download & Install ShowBox App with Show Box APK
Step 1: Download
Before we move any further, we need to do a few things and the first thing will be to download the ShowBox APK. The ShowBox APK is for the setup of the app on the Android device and hence it is important to download ShowBox APK because without the ShowBox APK, you will not be able to install Show Box and use it on your Android device. Now that you know all this, we will first download the ShowBox APK file that will be used for installing it on the Android device of your choice.
There are two mirrors you can download the ShowBox App from. Both of them are listed below:
You can use either of the above given links to download Show Box as the APK download files are the same only the link sources are different. Both of them will work perfectly no matter where the ShowBox App Download has been performed. Now that you have downloaded the ShowBox APK file and the ShowBox app download is complete, just move the APK to the phone or tablet's internal memory and afterwards you can move to the installation part.
Step 2: Install
Now that you have downloaded Show Box install APK file and moved it on your Android device for installation purposes, we can now start installing the ShowBox APK file in order to have the app on your device.
Since in this process you are basically side loading the app, you need to alter a few of the settings before moving forward with this installation procedure. Follow the below mentioned procedure:
- First of all you need to find and open the Settings app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Now that you have opened the Settings app, you need to go to Settings > Security and look for an option named Unknown Sources.
- Now that you have found the option, you need to make sure that this option is checked and it is very important else the file will not be install and this whole procedure will fail. So follow the steps carefully.
- Now open the file manager present on your Android device and navigate to the APK for ShowBox that you just download and tap it once to start the setup.
- Now on the next screen, you will be shown a bunch of information which will also show the permissions that the app needs. You just tap Install and the app will be installed on your device.
- The installation might take some time depending on you phone. Just wait until it is done.
Now all is done and the phone is now loaded with the ShowBox app and this is how you can easily install ShowBox app on your Android device.
Exploring the ShowBox App
Now that the ShowBox App Download & install is complete, you can use it for the first time, you might get a prompt that may ask you to update the app. So, just go ahead and tap update. Having the latest and updated version of the app is important to get the best possible experience from the app. Not only do you get new and updated features, but updates are provided by the developers to make sure the app does not have any bugs and works more smoothly.
The update process will take some time and this process will download the new updated APK file for the app and it will ask you to install it so just go ahead and tap the install button and it will be done in no time. Wait for the install to finish and then after it is finished, you can open the app again.
After the update process is complete, you will notice that the look of the application has changed a bit. The app also works a lot more faster and has better UI and better features. This makes the overall experience better for the app and the user experience is made more better by the updates.
As soon as you start the app, you will notice that the new app has now taken a few hints from the material design regulations by Google. Google makes sure that they provide a app design methodology to developers to make sure the users of Android can have an amazing and intuitive experience with whatever app that they are using.
Coming back to the interface features, as soon as you fire up the app, you will see the first screen that will take a few seconds to update and this is important since the app is downloading all the data required for the TV shows and other information that it has to show you and after the update process is complete, you will notice that it will show you the list of all the movies you can stream or download in tiles format. This is a very nice feature since if you download, you can also watch these on the go.
Swiping from the left will show you a side menu that has options to navigate into TV Shows, Favorites, Downloads and other Updates.
Who doesn't love movies? We all do and you can definitely use this app to download or stream and watch movies that you like.
As the name suggests, you can download or stream movies listen in the tiles from here easily. You can also tap on the lens icon to search through the available movies and the results will be shown in real time and you can choose from the result and start watching these movies as per your liking and convenience.
Do you see the extra menu icon? You can also tap on the three dotted menu to fire up the secondary menu that will allow you to sort results by genre, year, ratings and more! Isn't this a great thing to sort the types of movies that you want to watch?
TV Shows
Movies are something that might have a sequel or they don't but TV shows are something that keep us entertained for a full season. The name of this section says it all. The menu and interface is quite similar to that of movies and you can just tap through your favorite TV show and stream an episode that you want to watch.
You can search through the TV shows and you can also sort them via genres, years etc. which is a very good thing to have if you are planning to explore things to watch.
When you open up a TV show you chose, you will see options from which you can choose seasons and episodes. It is all laid out in such an easy to navigate way.
You can also choose favorites between the movies and TV shows and you will find these under the option named favorites. It's useful if you just watch a couple of shows so you can fire up the app and watch it on the go.
Downloads & Updates
ShowBox is all over great and there is a reason for that. This section of the app will show the downloaded shows and movies so you can go ahead and watch them again if you wish to. You can watch it as per your time and place and even on the go once the movie has been downloaded.
The updates section on this app makes sure that you get all the updates about the shows and movies you like so this is also a fun area to explore. You will learn a lot about your favorite characters and you can always stay ahead when someone asks you about something about the TV show and you have trivia and more interesting facts to offer!
All in all ShowBox is an amazing application that you can use on your Android device which can either be a mobile phone or a tablet. With ShowBox App, you can also watch your favorite movies and shows on the go since all you need to do is fire up the app. You don't need to register or even pay for any of the usage. Just download, install, fire up the application and enjoy!

Russian female models.
"Women should be helped!", or why the Russian women do not ask for help
The urethral woman, possessing property of return by the nature, it is independent, capable and to stand for itself, and to help others. These features were projected and on bearers of the Russian mentality, sometimes causing certain contradictions. It is difficult to Russian woman to ask about something, she secretly hopes that the man will guess, but itself does not speak about the shortages. In the people it is considered that it is congenital independence of "the Russian women".
The mass of jokes through an oral measure pronounces this question: the Russian woman does everything while the husband has a rest after work / sleeps / watches football / drinks beer / gains strength before "war" and other. And yes does not come to the wife to mind initially to divide household chores, having defined responsibility for the husband to cope with family life together. No, the Russian woman works, looks for children, conducts life and helps the husband on work alone. Such is "a heavy female share".

A group of student leaders and staff members will introduce a new campus initiative — The Well-being Project — with a week of activities scheduled for Sept. 21-28 on the Rice campus.
The week will include activities ranging from meditation and canoeing to workshops on academic success, mental health, conflict negotiation and suicide prevention. For a full list of activities, visit http://wellbeing.rice.edu/WellbeingWeek2012.
The Well-being Project was designed to better help students manage daily stress, reflect on their goals and priorities, practice healthy emotional self-care and empower them to ask for help when they need it.
"At Rice, our well-being matters," Wellness Center Director Emily Page said. "Engaging in our personal care and supporting each other is a way of life here. College or graduate school presents unique challenges for many of us, and we often encounter concerns that can impact our personal wellness. The Well-being Project is an initiative to guide us through these concerns."
"During many recent conversations with student leaders across campus, students told us that well-being efforts on our campus need to emphasize positive mental health," added Kate Noonan, director of student development and retention. "We heard that input, and The Well-being Project is now under way to meet those needs."
Page added that the program has truly been a team effort, with the ultimate goal of highlighting programs and services the Wellness Center is already offering and listening and thinking creatively about programmatic solutions to ongoing concern about students' well-being.
"Rice, like any other community, is full of opportunities and experiences that can lead to healthy choices as well as not-so-healthy choices and even outright dangerous choices," she said. "We know that when students make choices about their personal well-being, they don't do so without considering the messages they are receiving from their community. We want those messages to be positive and to reinforce the community values we hold. The Well-being Project is really a campaign aimed at sending these messages out to students in ways that will persuade them to choose wisely."
According to Dean of Undergraduates John Hutchinson, The Well-being Project grew directly out of interests expressed by Rice students.
"The student presidents, including the Student Association president and the 11 college presidents, proposed a campuswide conversation about student health and wellness," he said. "My staff has been working with student leaders in developing programs in response to this request. I'm excited by how quickly the team, both staff and students together, created the programs in this project."
Associate Dean of Undergraduates Don Ostdiek said he shares Hutchinson's enthusiasm. "I think a wider array of well-being offerings will make our students more successful and more content as well as generally healthier in their lives," Ostdiek said.
The Rice Health Advisors (RHA) and Active Minds at Rice, both student-led groups, are partnering with the Student Development and Retention Office and the Wellness Center to coordinate the project. Baker College sophomore Emily Begnel, president of Active Minds, said she hopes their planning efforts will continue to further Rice's conversation about well-being and make students more aware of the many resources available on campus.
"By promoting well-being throughout the year around campus, students and staff can gain a better understanding of what it means to be well and can incorporate healthy habits into their daily life," she said.
McMurtry College senior Jenny Wen and Jones College senior Chris Keller, coordinators for the RHA program, are excited by the energy and support to emphasize well-being on campus.
"Overall, we know Rice has the resources necessary to address students' needs," Keller said. "This initiative will harness these resources through both better awareness of what is available and through new, better-tailored programming."
"This is a great time to challenge ourselves to re-evaluate our goals and priorities: What do I really want out of my time at Rice? What will make me feel happy and fulfilled?" Wen added. "Through this reflection I hope students will realize how physical and emotional well-being is the foundation to our happiness and success."

The continuation of the ladies' monthly dinner club…. Next up? ME. (this is 2 weeks late… whoops!)
600 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
(312) 276-2500
Located on the Mag Mile, the Grand Lux has an extensive menu that will suit almost any appetite.
Grand Lux is located on the second floor above Ann Taylor Loft (or what was ATL). The entrance is quite grand. Once you take the escalator upstairs, it's a bit shocking to see just how big this place is. The views are spectacular, especially when the Christmas lights are still on the trees :) The lighting was dim and romantic-like. Dress was definitely casual to business casual.
The service was phenomenal! Our server was Sarah and on my goodness she was hilarious! Though I gave up sweets and desserts for Lent, she was mighty convincing on her sell of their delish homemade in-house desserts. She was INCREDIBLY knowledge and gave great advice on the menu.
I started off with a nice glass of wine – Beringer White Zinfandel. Sarah brought over bread for the table. It was delish, just wish it was served with cheese and oil :) Instead, it was with butter which was still good.
For my entree, I ordered the Pasta with Grilled Chicken, Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella. It was very good and incredibly filling. Their plate portions are HUGE so definitely get what you pay for. As for everyone else at the table, they were all happy with their meals – a range from salmon to flat bread sandwich to tofu.
Dessert time – I did not order anything (per my comment above) but they were on the table for me to smell and drool over. The Peach Cobbler seriously smelled and looked out of this world. You have to order that at the same time you place your order for your entree because it takes so long to make. Lisa got the Molten Chocolate Cake, which has a ooy-gooy center. YUM!
I really liked this place. I didn't realize until our dinner that this is a chain-like restaurant. They certainly don't treat you like chain restaurants do. The food was great, and boy was there a massive selection for literally everyone. The location was my favorite part <3 Definitely try it the next time you're out shopping on the mag mile!
Until next time

As we approach another summer season, we applaud N.H. lawmakers, health officials and Gov. John Lynch for being strongly proactive to the mosquito-borne public health threats such as West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE.
As we approach another summer season, we applaud N.H. lawmakers, health officials and Gov. John Lynch for being strongly proactive to the mosquito-borne public health threats such as West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE.
The proactive work being done stems from a sobering reality — in 2005, there were 20 human cases of EEE in the United States and New Hampshire led the nation with seven cases and two deaths. For reasons of biology, geography and some yet unexplained, this region has proven over the past five years that it has become a home for potentially devastating mosquito-born diseases.
As we reported in Seacoast Sunday last week and again today, Lynch recently issued an executive order that implements a new mosquito-control policy for state-owned lands — the policy was crafted by a group chaired by Exeter state Sen. Maggie Hassan.
"We're hoping the more the state learns and keeps on top of this, the better help they can give local communities and educate the public about what individuals can do," she said.
Two bills sponsored by state Reps. Marshall "Lee" Quandt and Doreen Howard are designed to help make that action and educational process work better.
Quandt's bill would establish procedures for the implementation of mosquito controls on state lands managed by the Fish and Game Department.
"The problem with EEE is, if you test for it and find it, it's already too late," Quandt said. "What you want to do is say these are the pools that have tested positive in the past, so we are going to use prevention and treat them now as if they had just tested positive."
Howard seeks to continue an arboviral illness task force, expands the mosquito-control and abatement activities that are eligible for funding, and revises the duties of the state Committee on Mosquito Control.
Audrey Dean of Moms Against EEE — formed to fight the illness after 13-year-old Nathan Gray in Newfields was diagnosed with EEE last year — said the group is very pleased at the progress being made by the governor and others.
"People forget that 2005 was our first case, and you can't do these things overnight," Dean said. "We are really doing well as a state. The leadership that we've got is great."
Leadership matters at all levels because of all the different agencies involved and the complexity of the diseases.
Jason Stull, the state's public health veterinarian, told Seacoast Sunday: "The state provides oversight and assistance to the towns, but it's really up to the particular town as to whether or not they want to fund a mosquito-control program."
Towns and residents are stepping up all over the region.
Voters in Newfields approved $50,000 of funding for mosquito control this March. The town's program includes a three-pronged approach of larviciding, arboviral surveillance and adulticiding. Local towns including Portsmouth, Exeter, Newmarket, Greenland and Rye also are signed on for mosquito-prevention programs.
A public health study by the University of New Hampshire noted that "getting EEE is a bit like winning the lottery. The chances of it happening are very low, but the consequences can be life-changing."
It's a life-changing occurrence we would like to see as rarely as possible.

Sept. 16 — U.S. companies that are preparing for the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation and the European Union-U.S. Privacy Shield may see increased regulatory scrutiny and potentially high implementation costs, privacy professionals said Sept. 15.
Companies may face increased regulatory scrutiny and implementation costs associated with the GDPR and the Privacy Shield because of the uncertainty behind the programs, Phil Lee, privacy partner at Fieldfisher and head of the firm's Palo Alto, Calif. office, said at an International Association of Privacy Professionals conference in San Jose, Calif.
For example, the GDPR's 72-hour breach notification window, which takes affect May 25, 2018, doesn't explicitly outline when the window kicks in. It remains to be seen whether the 72-hour window kicks in when the company thinks that a breach occurred or is it when the company can confirm the data breach, Lee said
Failure to comply with the standard can bring reputational and monetary damage. Companies that don't comply could face fines up to 10 million euros ($11.29 million) or 2 percent of a company's worldwide revenue, whichever is higher.
Lothar Determann, privacy partner at Baker & McKenzie LLP, said that as more and more companies trade in a global market they will face various data privacy regulations each with their own rules and fines.
To help alleviate fears and costs associated with the patchwork of regulations, companies should "build global programs that have the highest standards," Determann said. A global data plan should include mechanisms from the GDPR, Privacy Shield and other data privacy regimes, he said.
Both European regulators and U.S. agencies are expected to increase the amount of data privacy enforcement actions, the privacy professionals said.
Todd Hinnen, privacy partner at Perkins Coie LLP in Seattle, said that the Federal Trade Commission was highly criticized for not bringing more actions against U.S. companies that weren't in compliance with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor program or lacked another adequate data transfer mechanism. Other U.S. agencies that have recently increased their data security enforcement action may see increased pressure to bring more regulatory actions, such as the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, he said.
Additionally, companies that haven't used the Privacy Shield, binding contractual clauses or another privacy certification may face the brunt of enforcement actions, Hinnen said.
Time will tell if U.S. regulators will feel the pressure from critics to bring more regulatory enforcement actions for the lack of an adequate data transfer mechanism.
Although the Privacy Shield is main data transfer certification for U.S. companies that do business in the EU or transfer data to the EU, it may also have a major impact as a marketing mechanism.
Large U.S. tech companies have already certified under the Privacy Shield, including Microsoft Corp. and Salesforce Inc. Microsoft is the third largest technology company in the world with a market capitalization of $451.5 billion and Salesforce is the eighth largest application software company with a market capitalization of $55.3 billion, Bloomberg data show.
Lee said that companies may look to the larger U.S. tech companies as a reason to sign up for the Privacy Shield and wear the certification "as a badge of honor." As more and more large tech companies join the program, there will be a rush of smaller tech companies who will feel the need to sign up, he said.
Ultimately, companies shouldn't panic when deciding to sign up for the Privacy Shield, Lee said. Companies just need to do their due diligence and decide what is the best data transfer mechanism under their circumstances, he said.

Here's an important lesson to learn.
If you're in any kind of ministry
And you work with teen and pre-teens.
YOU gotta be flexible people!
Schedules,last minute cancellations, crisis crisis crisis!
So at the last possible moment I totally tossed my sure fire plan
And came up with something successful after all!
Missions Weekend
It was Missions Weekend at our church. It's one of the few times our satellite church Grace North does something separate from the main campus. After all it would be a tough fit getting all the ministries represented to fit in to our lobby. It was tough enough getting them to fit in the main building. However since Grace North doesn't have a Saturday evening service it's possible to attend both.
Every year Missions Weekend is a good time to reflect and check my inner compass. After all, one way or another we're all on a mission. But it's also true every one of us has a roll to play in missions, whether it's halfway around the world or right in our very own neighborhood.
For those of us involved in Sunday school, Children's Church, Kid's Celebration, whatever you want to call it we have an obligation to get our kids excited about missions. One day they will have there own part to play in fulfilling The Great Commission. Whether it's something simple like taking an offering in Kid's Celebration to support a missions project, or keeping track of their older siblings in Christ go on their first short term missions trip in their youth group, they all have a roll.
Biggest of all is the feeling I have deep down that someday one perhaps two or maybe even three of the children I come in contact with, may one day receive the call to the mission field. And somehow that calling process could begin in their Sunday School class.
So for that reason I need to check my compass.
Full speed ahead people, steady on, The KC Adventure is right on track!
Killing the Critic
Last Sunday was our first puppet show since officially launching as a ministry team over the summer. While of course there's plenty of room for improvement I was very proud of the way everyone worked together to make it all work. There's nothing like getting that first laugh and even getting a few giggles in spots we didn't expect.
Soon I hope to start record our shows so we can see what we really need to focus on. But before I can do that I'll need to bind and gag my critical spirit and toss that in a storage closet. Otherwise I'll be too ashamed of my performance to watch the thing. 😉
The view from Under the Stage
A blog can be a journal or a diary for all the world to read. This one is a record of my transition from Sunday School classroom helper to starting a puppet ministry at my church. It's got to the point where perhaps a name change is in order, like calling it
"The view from Under the Stage."
On the other hand even if the ministry of "God's Little Disciples" becomes (if ever) more well known for the work we do outside the four walls of the church our main purpose will always be to serve the children who attend Kid's Celebration. And for that reason the blog should reflect that fact. So the name "My KC Adventure" remains.
So if anyone wants to use the name
"The View From Under the Stage," for their puppet ministry blog, feel free!
-And the KC Adventure, rolls on!
Being a Leader
One of the things that God has to knock through my thick skull is just how seriously He wants me to take this whole puppet ministry thing.
A) Yes, it is a "ministry"
B) Puppets are a legitimate art form that combines the visual arts (painting, sculpture,set design,etc) and the performing arts. (acting, singing dance)
C) As a ministry it is to be done "Unto the Lord." Which means pray as if everything depended on God and work as if everything depends on me.
D) Every ministry needs a leader and this is a wake up call for me to LEAD!
This is why The Holy Spirit's been pounding my head about how to be a leader. And
"Gee what a coincidence!"
my church was a host site for A Leadership Conference!
What can I say. It's the big thing I have in common with The Apostle Peter. We're both a couple of hard headed rednecks!
So now that the whole family is helping with puppets,
and we're working on recruiting some awesome helpers from our youth group!
It is now time to plan for a great year!
So now we need a name for our new team!
(Oh Yeah!)
My Post Easter Puppet Adventure
It would be nice if we found our digital camera so that frustrated photog me could maybe take a picture of my puppets.
(Rather than using stock internet pictures)
Or better yet bribe someone to video them in action.
My puppets names are Elwood and Dimitri.
Elwood is a good name to yell for when he gets in trouble or frustrates his older brother Dimitri.
It's like a certain chipmunk,
"Elwood, what's special about Easter?"
"Getting an Easter Basket filled with toys"
"No, try again,"
"Chocolate bunnies!"
"No, try again,"
"An Easter Egg Hunt!"
"ELWOOD! You silly goose! Jesus rose again on Easter Sunday!"
It's Good 2B Organized!
Now armed with pre-made scripts AND
a chance to properly rehearse them AND
a brand new puppet stage for the younger children downstairs (Can you dig it!!!) we can really strive for excellence!!!
But best of all it's great to hear how much the children enjoy the shows.
Who knows, they might even learn something valuable along the way. 😉
It's a good thing I hang out in the KC wing after my puppet show is finished. Thanks to Daylight Saving Time half of our nine o'clock service kids showed up for the 11 o'clock service. Which means,
To make matters worse one of the regular teachers was away so they had to combine one of the classes already. Then when you add the fact an unusual amount were attending our late service,
Thankfully God knows what we need before we ask Him. And every joint supplies just like the bible says the church is supposed to work. Especially a church where God has sent so many talented people.
Our Best Day Ever
We had our Kid's Fest today.
Instead of our usual Sunday program we had skits for the kids to watch with plenty of games and treats. It's a great thing for kids to invite their unchurched friends to.
It's all about evangelism and all about sharing the love of Jesus.
Best of all there was an invitation to recieve Christ in a wonderful way children could understand. In total about 15 kids went into a room for a special talk with our program coordinator Kim.
By the time she was through the kids definatly understood what a serious thing receiving Christ really is. The kids all had to tell Kim exactly what that meant to them. One of the boys in the group was my nine year old son.
(Oh my)
Meanwhile some of the kids who didn't come forward had already received Christ. One of them is slowly showing the fruit of her commitment. That would be my 11 year old daughter.

Hebrewizm is based on the understanding of you who we really are as the MOST HIGH AHAYAH'S chosen people. With that understanding comes the responsibility of us coming back to the Laws, Statutes and Commandments of AHAYAH. We are the law givers throughout the entire earth. We are the ones who are responsible of setting the standard of what is right and wrong. It will be You Hebrew who will teach the other nations what is acceptable in AHAYAH'S eyes.
So with that said, you must be prepared and ready to take on this new role. You always had it in you, so let's start to nurture and cultivate this new being. Reading the scriptures daily is a must, in order to give the law, you must know it! So click the link and get started THE KJV BIBLE

It's a sunny Saturday morning around 8am. The air is crisp, the sun is shining brightly and the thermometer reads 5 degrees. Someone is unraveling a stiff garden hose, making his way to a big, empty tank. He turns on the water and begins filling the it, then gets this great idea to shovel 5 or 6 scoops of snow into the tank. The fire in the wood stove has been going for hours, making the warm house almost unbearable. Preparations are underway....
It's now 11am and the temperature has steadily risen to a balmy 10 degrees. A crowd has gathered around the water tank, which is still being continuously fed with scoops of snow. The crowd is getting anxious...and then....finally, the announcement is made and one by one, people begin to emerge from the warm house wearing everything from bathing suits to full costumes...the crowd goes wild.
That's right, today is the annual "Polar Bear Plunge", where students *willingly* jump into a freezing tank of water in the dead of winter. Most learned from their blunder and only did it once, for some it took another try before the cold sank in, and a few even dared to take the plunge three times in a row!
Most of them didn't have to say anything, their facial expressions said it all!
We even had a few brave representatives from the US!
And then...there are the faces:

Hi everybody, it's Kaitlyn! Guess what?! I'm learning so many new things and discovering so much of my surroundings. Mommy said that since I can somewhat sit up on my own, I get my own chair at the dinner table, that's exciting! I always like dinner time because that means I get to play for a little while. Mommy and daddy give me a bunch of plastic things that are all connected together; some of them even make funny noises when I push them in a certain spot. I've never heard a lot of these noises before so they're kind of strange to me.
I'm also starting to discover what mommy and daddy keep calling my hands. They're pretty interesting, and really useful for lots of things...like chewing on and holding my toys. I'm also learning what it means to be "cold." Every time we go outside mommy and daddy say that it's cold. All I know is that my new-found fingers feel like they're going to fall off and it gets hard to breathe.
One thing me and daddy have in common is that we get kinda cranky when we're sleepy, so when we get on mommy's nerves, we just take little mini naps together.
Well, that's all for now! Thanks for listening!

"See, here's the thing," he said. "Klaus is so far off the reservation, he doesn't even know it ever existed. But you know what? That's what keeps the wheels turning around here."
"Are you insane?"
"How many guns in Haven, Dez? How many carry them? What do you think will happen if there's suddenly no one around for them to be scared of? Yeah, Klaus is fucknuts, and I wish to Christ I could cut his goddamn throat, along with all of his cronies. But it's because of him all of these people in here are safe. They have food, they have water, they go to sleep every night and have the privilege of waking up in the morning. Because. Of. Him. Because the moment he's not around anymore? Oh, baby girl, that day comes, you just fucking pray, 'cause it's gonna be a free-for-all."

Hello again.
So as the studies continue, I've been lugging in the appropriate textbook for the classes I'm attending. It's very heavy. It's got lots of pages. It hasn't been referred to in the entire 4 weeks I've been attending classes. This leads me to ask "Why did I buy this book again?"
Apparently I'm not the only one as a friend posted this gem on Facebook.
I'm starting to think there's a conspiracy…

If you're as concerned as I am about the environment and how it impacts your health, chances are good you might've missed a huge cultural shift.
This absolutely fascinating video lecture by a very articulate Harvard anthropologist tells you how we are losing our heritage.
By Professor Davis' estimate, about half of the world's 6,000 languages are disappearing, as they are no longer being taught to children, meaning the origins of our world, ethnicity and spiritual life — what he calls the ethnosphere — are vanishing.
With language serving as "a watershed of thought" — not just uncountable sets of grammatical rules keen to trip us up when we least expect it — among various populations around the world, languages will die unless something happens soon to change it.
