State and local officials have filed a lawsuit seeking ruling that the 43 horses determined to be abandoned in June at a Mercer County farm are now owned by Mercer County Fiscal Court, not Charles and Maria Borell.
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) and Mercer County Fiscal Court are asking Mercer County Circuit Court to rule that the fiscal court owns the horses and may sell, donate, or otherwise transfer ownership of them. The suit also asks the court to order the Borells to pay costs incurred by fiscal court and numerous businesses and individuals who have contributed to the upkeep of the horses since they were declared to be abandoned, as well as interest, attorneys' fees, and other costs of the litigation.
The KDA has calculated that more than $20,000 has been spent on temporary care for the horses. The suit claims that Thoroughbred Charities of America has spent more than $13,000, and Sallee Horse Transport, Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital, Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, Park Equine Hospital, and Patterson Veterinary Supply also have contributed to their care.
The KDA and Mercer County Fiscal Court also filed a motion for a speedy hearing so that the costs of the temporary care of the horses may be brought to an end as soon as possible. A hearing on the suit is scheduled for 9 a.m., Oct. 12.
According to the state filing, the Borells claim ownership or ownership interests in all 43 horses currently in temporary care of individuals and entities acting as agents for the fiscal court.
Besides the Borells, four other parties have come forward to claim ownership in five of the horses after the Office of the State Veterinarian posted photos and information on the horses in its database on stray and abandoned horses. Those parties are permitted to intervene in the suit to claim ownership or interest in the horses.
Other owners who have claimed ownership or ownership interests include Gersen Racing (Princess Megan, Valerio, and an unnamed 3-year-old Offlee Wild male out of Princess Megan.) Jack "Trey" Willoughby III and Randy Polley claim ownership interests in Sheza Fun Sponge. Joshua Mentzer claims an ownership interest in an unnamed 4-year-old filly out of Bald N Blue, by Colonel John.
According to the suit, on June 9 deputy state veterinarian Bradley Keough visited the farm where the horses were located and found them to be without adequate food and water and with no caretakers present. Dr. Keough evaluated the horses' conditions, found little or no fresh hay on the premises, and declared that the owner(s) had abandoned them based on his observations, the suit says. At that point, the suit claims, Charles Borell and his daughter, Maria, lost their rights to the horses, and Mercer County Fiscal Court became the "taker-up" of the horses.
The state agriculture and Mercer County Fiscal Court lawsuit said that despite the ruling of abandonment, the Borells continue to claim ownership or interests in the horses.
An attorney for Charles "Chuck" Borell on Aug. 1 entered a plea of not guilty on his client's behalf to 43 charges of second-degree animal cruelty in connection with the abandonment of horses at a farm in Central Kentucky. A pre-trial hearing in the case is scheduled for Sept. 29 in Mercer County District Court.

- Salometer (Brine Hydrometer), Salinometer, Salimeter
Product Description
Our custom made Salometer (Brine Hydrometer), Salinometer, Salimeter includes both 0-100% of salt by weight and 0-26 degrees of saturation with 25 being total saturation of NaCl. This is called a 'heavy brine'. A 'light brine' is at 3 degrees or 10% of salt by weight. A green line marks both the light and heavy brine.
Salometer, Test Jar and Sampler: You can purchase one, two or all three, based on your brining needs.
1. Salometer: 0-100% saturation marks
Length: 12 in.(30.4cm)
2. Test Jar (to measure a small sample of your brine).
Length: 10 in.(25.4cm)
3. Brine sampler which will draw out the sample of brine to fill the Test Jar with 1/4 oz. graduation marks.
Length: 15 in.(38cm), Bulb width: 2.5 in.(6.3cm)
The glass Salometer reads the percentage of saturation or salt precentage at 50-60f(15.5c). Scale: 0-100% saturation. Divisions: 1%
Optional accessories include Salometer Test Jar and Brine Sampler which help to sample your brine without putting the Salometer directly into the brine. And quite necessary for small brine tanks(containers).
Note: If you need to use a 25% salt saturation level (common for Gouda and other semi-hard cheeses, add salt until the Salometer reading reaches 75, then subtract 75 from 100 to get 25. Heavy Brine for Goudacheese: 2 lbs.(900 grams) of non-iodized salt to one gallon of clean pre-boiled/cooled water. Use Salometer to achieve a salt concentration of 20-23° Baumè(1.148-1.169) Specific Gravity or 25% saturation.Use a little white vinegar 1 tsp.(4.9ml) or ½ tsp.citric acid and 1 tbs.(14.7ml) liquid calcium chloride to bring the pH(test with pH strips of pH meter) of the brine to 5.4-5.2.
Use non-iodized cheese salt when making brine. Brine Calculator Chart
Shipping included within the USA.

In general, it's been a good year in the garden. It's been relatively warm and we've had a nice amount of rain, but nothing like the amount we had last year that brought slugs in droves to my garden, where they decimated plant after plant. Most things are growing well, some too well. I think the garden probably requires a little editing as it's on the verge of being overcrowded.
|'Stripe it Rich' and castor bean plant.
Although it doesn't look like much right now because I cut the nepeta along the path back about 10 days ago and it hasn't filled in yet, I'm happy with the location of the sweet peas and I think I'll put them there again next year. they were right at eye and nose level and I think it was a most inviting way to enter the patio if you were walking from the garage.
The shade garden is looking better than it has in the past. Other than having to deal with an persistent weed problem at the back of that bed, it's starting to look nice there and I think now it's mostly a matter of patience to let things grow in.

XP3 Applicant Screening questionnaire
XP3 Talent System
Once you have have filled your Applicant Pipeline, you need to narrow that pipeline to ensure that you are only spending your valuable time with pre-qualified candidates.
The XP3 Screening Questionnaire (SQ) will help you screen and narrow your applicant pipeline. The XP3 Talent System includes a library with over 50 job templates for you to choose from. You just need to customize it with your particulars.
The SQ is sent to applicants as a first step in the screening process and helps determine:
- If they possess the required knowledge and abilities beyond the typical resume fluff
- If they are able to follow instructions
- Signs of intelligence based on how articulate their responses are to the SQ
- If they possess a sense of urgency by how quickly they complete the SQ
Example of an SQ for a Vice President of Sales
Behavioral Alignment: Another critical component to pre-screening your applicant pipeline and ensuring you get the right people in the right roles is to identify the required behavior of the job and align it with the hardwired personality traits of the individual filling the role. To help with this, we offer a state of the art personality profile tool called the MPO. To learn more about this and other available options visit our Talent Assessment Page.

Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka celebrated a huge win on stage 11 of Giro d'Italia as Spain's Omar Fraile finished off a masterful performance by crossing the line first in Bagno di Romagna.
In Scandinavia, the Tour of Norway could not have had a better start for Dimension Data as Edvald Boasson Hagen, the team's Norwegian champion, won the opening stage on his birthday. Boasson Hagen beat Tosh van der Sande (Lotto-Soudal) and Simon Gerrans (Orica-Scott) in the sprint for the line.
Back to Italy though, and with its four categorised climbs and a short distance of 161 kilometres, many riders had red-circled the day's stage as good for a breakaway to make it all the way. The Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka riders had saved their legs during Tuesday's time trial in order to be ready for Wednesday's stage, and they didn't disappoint.
After multiple attacks, a big group of over 20 riders finally achieved a gap on the peloton. Dimension Data had been very attentive and managed to get both Igor Antón and Fraile in the group. Fraile had had his eyes on Wednesday's stage for a long time and when Mikel Landa (Team Sky) attacked from the breakaway, the strong climber followed his fellow countryman without hesitation.
The Basque duo quickly created a gap on the chasers and managed to keep it for a long time. However, as the group behind them upped the pace, the gap began to decrease, and with 40km left to go, Fraile and Landa were caught.
Other riders then started attacking on the slopes towards the top of the final climb of the day, and a stage win for Fraile seemed out of reach. Pierre Rolland (Cannondale-Drapac) distanced the rest and went solo, but suddenly Fraile appeared in the picture again, sprinting to close the gap and take the maximum KOM points.
Fraile and Rolland worked well together on the descent and kept the chase group at 15-20 seconds as they took on the last 20km.
On the final kilometers, pre-stage favorite Rui Costa (UAE Team Emirates) joined the front duo together with a few other riders. Knowing Rui Costa is a very fast rider, Fraile was smart to get on the wheel of the strong Portuguese.
With 350m to go, Fraile accelerated, and even though Costa tried to follow, he stood no chance against Fraile who finished off his masterpiece of a stage with the biggest win of his career.
By taking maximum points on three KOMs, Fraile, king of the mountains in the last two editions of Vuelta a España, also drew level with Jan Polanc (UAE Team Emirates) in the maglia azzura classification.
During this Giro d'Italia, Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka races to fund 100 girls in Africa on bikes, as part of the Bicycles Change Lives campaign. Before the race started in Sardinia, all the riders received a customised undervest with the names of the special women in their lives. Fraile's vest has the name of his girlfriend, Eva, written on it and the 26-year-old Spaniard was very eager to dedicate a stage to his girlfriend.
The opening stage of the Tour of Norway took riders on a 170km trip from Honefoss to Asker. There were numerous undulations throughout the stage, with a final drag all the way to the line finish as well. The stage suited Boasson Hagenn to a tee, and most of the rival teams were looking to the African team to make the decisive moves.With only three riders going up the road, it made things slightly easier for Data Dimension to control, who worked together with a few other World Tour teams to ensure that the leaders were brought back before reaching the finishing circuit in Asker. 'The attacks came thick and fast over the final 25km and we kept it together as best we could before young Ben O'Connor had a go in the final 10km.'
With O'Connor up the road, Boasson Hagen could sit back and let the other teams chase, which they did. O'Connor's move was brought back just before the line, and then Boasson Hagen did the rest by sprinting to a special win.
With the stage victory, Boasson Hagen also pulled on the overall race leaders jersey as well.

Hey Guys!
So today I was super excited to attend my very first Chanel show! I know!!!
It was held at the Grand Palais in Paris, and since Karl (we're on a first name basis) decided to feature a large iceberg as a centerpiece, it was colder than a polar bear's toenails.
On my way out of the breathtaking, finger freezing venue, I spied this Fashion Bomb worthy fashionista, who looked warm and chic in faux fur and ripped stockings:
We started chit chatting and it turned out she was Fashion Bomb reader Trendy Gourmandise! It's always great to meet y'all:) She disclosed that her cute platform sandals and dress were from Topshop and her comfy coat was from H&M.
Not long after I had to run home to warm up! Stay tuned for my Chanel recap, it'll be the bomb!
Until then, what do you think of Trendy Gourmandise's style?
*Check out Trendy Gourmandise at www.trendygourmandise.blogspot.com.
*A sneak peek of the 'situation' at Chanel:
Yes, it was a situation.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 1 has released a new image of a steely-looking Katniss, while director Francis Lawrence has been discussing what we can expect from the new film, and how it will differ from the source novel.
"There's definitely some battles," says Lawrence of the next film. "There's some of the first glimpses of real war in this movie. And the scale gets quite big."
"There's an atonal shift from some of the last movies," he continues, "but they're still very emotional, very sweeping, [on a] grand scale with some levity and humour,"
As to the adaptation process, Lawrence argues that splitting the film into two parts has given him the opportunity to flesh out the story, adding depth to subplots only touched upon by the book.
"Instead of changing the plot and changing characters, what we did was have the opportunity to show scenes that could have been happening at different times in the book."
"For us it's world expansion instead of changing things," he explains. "I think it's exciting for the fan to see certain things. So we've been able to open the world up in this and see some new places. We get to see some new districts this time and the scope gets quite large."
Co-starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 1 will open in the UK on 21 November 2014.

Fairly simple question really. How many first team players do you expect to leave this Summer and which ones will they be?
Let's hear some thoughts, and include who you expect to depart from the club. Youth players can not be included in the list.
Votes are public.
Sell everyone and put their wages towards Ozil and Sanchez and Mbappe
Does Sanchez come under "clearout"? Because technically we're not clearing him out, he's clearing us out
But yeah I fully expect him to be off, as well as this lot: DebuchyJenkinsonOspinaCampbellWilshereGibbsPerez
Debuchy and Jenks in particular better not still be on our wage bill come September!
That's the list I'd make too.
Cross fingers and we could be getting upwards of £80-100m for them. No malo.
Wenger's treatment of Joel Campbell is shocking. He could have easily performed the same role as Lucas last season
So you are saying we should sell Jenks to get Mbappe etc, You disloyal fuck he is Arsenal through and through.......this is Corporal Jenks we are talking about here not some shithouse like Sanogo
I would expect fringe players like Jenkinson, Debuchy, Campbell and Sanogo, if he is still here, to leave.
But if it's first team players, I'll go for around three or four, If you are counting Sanchez not signing a new contract.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sanchez doesn't sign a new contract and is sold.Chamberlain, Gibbs and possibly Perez might be moved on as well, even though they are more than useful squad players, and Chamberlain could still be a very good first team player.
I would rather see Walcott go than Chamberlain, and I wouldn't be to bothered if Ramsey went as well, as long as a world class midfielder comes in, as well as a world class striker.
But I'll go for Sanchez, unless we are willing to run down his contract and let him go for free, Gibbs, Chamberlain and Perez to leave.
I'd like Walcott too leave. I'd like to believe him leaving would speed up the signing of another attacking midfielder/winger.
[quote="Phoebica, post:3, topic:1574"]
Does Sanchez come under "clearout"? Because technically we're not clearing him out, he's clearing us out
[/quote]Good point, I've changed the title to departures instead now
That's the minimum amount of players i expect to leave.
Probably has more to do with Campbell not wanting to sit out another season. Also being paid Arsenal wages while enjoying the Portuguese weather isn't too bad for him.
I fucking love Jenkinson. Really wish he could just do an Ox and give us a thread of hope. Meh.
If he and Wilsh go in the summer i might have to turn to religion or some shit. Damn you cruel world. WAS TEARING DIABY FROM MY FRAGILE HEART NOT ENOUGH!
It seems like you take a liking to overrated players. Ramsey is your guy than. He seems to go nowhere either.
I forgot about Cazorla.He might go as well.
Didn't he renew his contract?
I hope so.
I'm curious to know what keepers we're going to be left with still next season. Ospnia seems like he's off. Szczesny I'd love to bring back but seems he's going to be off permantely, which leaves us with just Cech, an unproven Martinez and an inexperienced Macey. We spent years trying to put together a solid pool of goalkeepers, and potentially in one summer, we could be looking a bit exposed for cover for my liking.
Perez, Sanogo, Debuchy, Jenkinson, Campbell & Sanchez & Ozil. I will say 7.

From Seattle Times 2010
- Yield
- 10
- 1 (12 pound) turkey
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, plus butter for the roasting pan
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1. To roast the turkey, preheat oven to 325 degrees and thoroughly butter the roasting pan. Remove the neck and giblets from body and neck cavities of turkey; discard the liver or reserve it for another use, then put the remaining giblets and neck bone in a saucepan to make the turkey broth for the gravy. 2. Using your fingers, a silicone spatula or a wooden spoon, gently separate the skin from the breast. Be careful not to tear the skin and do not remove it from the bird, just loosen it from the meat. 3. Combine butter, salt, sage, thyme, pepper and nutmeg and rub this mixture onto the meat under the skin. Tuck the wings behind the bird to secure the neck skin against the back of the turkey, then place the turkey, breast-side-down, in the buttered roasting pan, and transfer the roasting pan to the oven and set a timer for 2 hours. Note: To keep the breast meat moist, we rubbed the meat under the skin with a mixture of butter and seasonings and roasted the turkey upside-down for the first 2 hours, turning the turkey over to brown the skin and cook it through.

Team up and take on the toughest drivers in Need for Speed Carbon
- Amazing graphics
- Excellent races, objectives and plot
- Top-class soundtrack
- Team play can be confusing
Need for Speed Carbon is the sequel to the famous racing game Need for Speed Most Wanted. This time the character returns to Palmont, his native city, to recover control of the streets.
In this edition you won't compete individually, instead you'll have to choose the members of the gang you'll lead. Thus you'll ensure greater support in each competition, and it will be easier to win.
Besides, from now on you'll not only be able to customize your car combining a model and a color, you'll also be able to build vehicle parts. Thanks to the new "autosculpt" system offered by the game, you'll greatly improve the car's performance.
In Need for Speed Carbon there are 6 types of races. 'Radar,' where you must overcome all the speed traps in the shortest time, 'Sprint,' in which the set goal is to come first in one fast race, 'Circuit,' to which ou run several laps around a specified course, 'Control Point,' where you compete in a larger circuit of interwoven paths, 'Drift,' which sees players slam on the brakes and pull the car sideways around sharp bends without oversliding the markers, and 'Canyon' where you race down dangerous cliff-faces and severed roads against harsh competition.
As always, this title will surprise you once more with its excellence in 3-dimensional graphics and lighting, superb story-lines and mission sequencing, as well as its killer original soundtrack.
Sure as anything, if you love racing-games and fast cars, then you should definitely download Need for Speed Carbon.

The face of any building has become increasingly important as developers look to create a distinctive project, or architects and designers look to continually push the boundaries on what is possible. From housing to corporate headquarters and schools to conference centres, demand for individual design and appearance has increased. New methods of construction and new ways of manufacturing materials mean the external facades of a building can these days be constructed from a wide range of finishes and applied in innovative ways.
Systems include curtain walling and rainscreen cladding using panel technology in materials such as porcelain, copper, terracotta, metal, plastic and stone. Insulated panel systems, sandwich wall, coupled with composite material and precast concrete all add to this exciting area of architectural design.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Everybody knows that Zilean is OP. But in ranked games, he'll never be played though. With this guide, I will show you how to pown the enemy. About a few weaks, everybody plays attack speed Zilean. The LoL community will publish new videos about the Chronokeeper. Zilean just got the swag.
late game hyper carry
it's easy to play
your movement speed is very high
honor will be your friend
teammates would flame on you
mid game pretty weak
Skill Sequence
It isn't hard to play Zilean. Attack speed Zilean is even more easy, you just have to press some buttons and you'll definetly carry your team late game. So, it's the best way to come out of the ELO HELL.
The farming in early game will not be so good, unless you spam the bombs (it will cost tuns of mana). Early game, just focus farming, not killing. It will help you in late game if you have tuns of farms.
Team Work
In the teamfights you're too strong (because you have the attack speed+hurricane). Just call the ss (the enemy would go out of your lane because he cant beat you) early enough for the teammates.

The Man Inside Reviews
July 27, 2012
We would say something about "first-round knockout", but then it's not really a boxing picture. So, we won't.
July 17, 2012
Strong British independent cinema deserves an audience, but The Man Inside never lands a punch.
July 27, 2012
It's so mired in overwrought melodrama that, while it packs a few punches, it fails to deliver the knockout.
July 26, 2012
It is capably assembled but so incessantly, furiously gloomy as to be almost unwatchable.
Top Critic
July 24, 2012
A combination of flat scripting and dull camerawork leave 'The Man Inside' languishing in TV-movie hell.
July 26, 2012
Peter Mullan adds gruff authority and class but there is not much else to commend this effort from writer/director/producer Dan Turner.
July 26, 2012
Director Dan Turner demonstrates the occasional piece of visual flair, but his storytelling abilities totally shot.
July 25, 2012
Engaging, well made urban drama with striking camerawork, strong performances and a powerful central theme, though the dialogue wobbles occasionally and there are a couple of embarrassingly bad lines.
July 26, 2012
This is intelligent and ambitious work.

The Man Inside is well made but pushes us towards a kind of hyper-realism that pays decreasing dividends.

"Dreams never die, it's the people who give up on them."
A stranger said that to me once, and it's something I never forgot. I don't have a long story about wanting to be a journalist or a writer. Writing was always something I just did, but never considered myself any good at. I would watch the way that reporters on TV got right in the middle of action and knew what to ask, what to say. To me, that was journalism, and an introvert like me sure wasn't qualified to do it. It wasn't until LJ21 during the second year of college that I really began to understand what I could be as a journalist.
The New York Times recently published an article about what they're calling "generation limbo"--us post-grad twentysomethings who aren't entirely sure what the next stage in life is. The "postponed generation," as the article says. I see it, I do. There are a lot of wanderers out there. But I had a really long talk with Al earlier tonight and she kept reminding me that it didn't matter if I felt like shit, I was doing something amazing. And I don't know. I sometimes feel like I missed out on that "post-grad 'life is shit'" phase that everyone told me there would be. It's like I missed out on some important "coming of age" thing.
But then again...the other interns I've met have left me in awe. Their accomplishments and ambitions are all diverse and incredible. They're so motivated, and even though they don't know what they want for sure in life either, they're running into the future headfirst. "Hey NPR," I want to ask, "did you make a mistake by hiring me too? These guys are so legit."
Al is right--I need to get over the insecurities of not being good enough for anything, anyone, anywhere. I'm fucking here and I worked hard, I should feel good about this. I finished the first week of my dream internship, I'll be moving soon, I'm starting over. Ish. It hasn't been easy or very fun, and as wonderful as work has been this past week, there's a lot weighing on me too that I need to force myself to purge. So this is good--it's painful, but really, it's better.

growing up, post-9/11.
|Wall of front pages detailing the attacks, as seen
at the Newseum's 9/11 exhibit.
At school, the older kids were talking and asking each other what happened. I was in the 7th grade, and us junior high students were considered "the adults" of the school. But the day went on as usual: recess, classes, lunch. We didn't turn on the TVs. We didn't pull up the news online. We didn't turn on the radios. I don't think the teachers or administrators knew what to say or do, and that was the common theme of the day, wasn't it? Nobody knew what to say or do.
That afternoon when we got home, the TV was on again and every channel was streaming the same images. News anchors spoke about when the first tower fell and speculated on when another building would fall. I watched 7 World Trade Center crumble live and there was only silence coming from the screen. And even then, we still didn't understand: why did this happen?
This was all before the "social media age," when Twitter and Facebook took over our lives. We turned to the newspapers and the reporters to tell us what was going on. A few months ago, I learned of Osama bin Laden's death through Twitter and Gchat hours before watching Obama's speech on TV. As I sat on the couch with Amanda, watching the president tell us that this man who had architected one of the greatest tragedies in recent American memory was dead, it felt like a weird closing of this circle that was my academic life. 9/11 affected every aspect of American life, and I can barely even remember a time before all that--before the TSA commanded the airports, before this unspoken fear of "the other" was re-instilled in everyday life. I remember going to the airport as a child and seeing my father off on business trips. Na and I would watch his plane take off from the window of the terminal. Nowadays, you can't get to the terminals without a boarding pass and an intrusive security screening process.
|Remains of one of the broadcast towers that
stood atop one of the now-fallen buildings
(also at the Newseum's 9/11 exhibit).
When I think back to September 11, 2001, all I can remember is that feeling of watching the towers fall and the silence that seemed to fill every crevice of the country. I don't remember where I heard or read this, but the issue of the New York Times that came out that day was the least read in the newspaper's history. That gives me chills. The world stood still that day and watched America essentially crumble--at least that's what it felt like. The following years brought rise to moments in a blur: the start of war, the threat of terrorism entering our everyday lives...this is what growing up in the 2000s was like. What stories will I tell my potential offspring? Will it all be tinged with the effects of what happened on 9/11? The more I think about it, the more it feels relevant to every aspect of daily life, and then that leads me to wonder: how can classrooms not teach what happened and is still happening? Maybe we don't have definitive answers behind it all--behind the attacks, the terror and the aftermath--but we can start a dialogue about it so that maybe one day, we can collectively move forward.

a reminder.
|The art on one of the benches at a Bethesda circulator stop.
I made a pinky promise via AIM with Andrea recently. It's one of those promises we know the both of us would never literally fulfill, but it's this assurance of accountability, and I do imagine we'll follow through in some way. I like to think I keep my promises, no matter how ridiculous or random they may seem.
I've made recent pinky promises too that fell apart for...well, you tell me. I had a dream last night in which we made more of those promises, but unlike the me that made those promises six months ago, the me in the dream knew they were false. Whenever I wake up from these dreams, I can't tell if they were nightmares or not. The adrenaline drives me to write, and the words tumble out as awkwardly as they form in my mind. But purging your heart is better than keeping quiet sometimes; there are only so many unanswered moments of vulnerability you can really take. And while it feels like a strong thwack of a hammer and another bit of
A few days ago, I came across an experience that reminded me why I emotionally over-invest in people: because I have this stupid obsession with the things that make us all unique and beautiful. That inspires me in a way I'd forgotten about, in a way to not be afraid of pursuing my own thoughts "as if they really, really matter," as Cortney wrote to me yesterday. And that's just it, isn't it? To find worth in our words and thoughts when our attempts to share hit walls. I can't make pinky promises the way I could when I was seven, but I can make real promises as a 22-year-old who is absolutely certain that she wants to live a unique and beautiful life, no matter who walks in and out. That is an honest promise, a genuine pursuit that I won't compromise in order to "fit in."

Given the rough condition of the vehicle the outcome was overall, very good. When Joey picked up the vehicle he expressed his satisfaction as well. As soon as I learned that there were concerns, we called and asked him to please bring the vehicle in so we could address it. He stated that it really wasn't a big deal and was not necessary for him to return. The offer still stands as we stand behind ALL of our work.

On one of the hottest June mornings I can remember we got a beautiful invite from beautiful friends that we could not turn down, " Wanna come over and play in our SPONGE BOB SPRINKLER?" We jumped up got ready and headed to Olivers' house at 9am, I believe. It was so hot that us parents couldn't help but jump in after them every once in a while. The boys had SO much fun...Gavin can't wait to play with Oliver and Sponge bob again! :)

I am very pleased to introduce myself as one of the founding Board members of AFAM. It has been very rewarding to work with Ms. Lillian and Advocates for Adolescent Mothers. I strongly believe in AFAM's mission and vision, which is why I have made significant contributions in the areas of fundraising and planning, and by hosting Board and committee meetings, as well as providing moral support in every way that I can. I joined AFAM's Board because I want to help the organization accomplish its vision, which includes the creation of an evidence based supportive housing model which will be replicated nationally. The organization has made great accomplishments since 2009, including the Back to School Celebration, the Holiday Drive program, and the Educational Empowerment Grant. Advocates for Adolescent Mothers mission is very important to me because I to was a teen parent.
I have had the privilege of working with the founder, and other board members within AFAM, over the past few months. In this time, I have been consistently inspired by the vision and desire that this team holds. At each meeting, I am motivated by the broad potential that this organization possesses towards reaching the goal of empowering young parents by providing them with the resources that they need to break the cycle of poverty. I am confident in the future success of this organization, and proud to be able to contribute to it regularly.
I am working with AFAM as of September, 2013 and I can honestly say I've never seen any leader work with such focus, resilience and overall passion as Lillian. Her story is one that really touches your heart and makes you want to work harder because you can really feel how she's trying to impact others that are currently teen mothers through her work. There are many great things to come from AFAM and I am honored to be a part of the movement.
I began working with AFAM (Advocates for Adolescent Mothers) recently after learning about the organization's founder and mission. AFAM's founder, Lillian Harris, is passionate about the organization she started and committed to helping young parents in Chicago. The organization interacts with the community on so many different levels and seeks to continue growing and helping young mothers even further. It's an honor to be involved with such an outstanding group.
AFAM is a wonderful nonprofit organization committed to supporting young parents, helping them break the cycle of poverty and gain prosperity. It is a pleasure to work alongside the founder, Lillian Harris, whose experiences created this vision of support for teen parents.
Advocates for Adolescent Mothers exceeded all expectations in 2011, not only through the Back to School Celebration, advocating for young parents to return to school, but also through the Educational Empowerment Grant Initiative, an innovative and promising program providing financial and social support to young moms entering their first year of college, and also through our toy drive, providing toys to the children of homeless young mothers in Chicago at Christmas time.
Advocates for Adolescent Mothers has a targeted and strategic approach to accomplishing their mission of providing young parents with the tools, resources, and support needed to break the cycle of poverty. Although the Board is still growing, we are a very congealed team of professionals passionate about empowering young parents, and improving the welfare of their children: We have been able to accomplish much although we are small in number. In 2011, our accomplishments included the offering of 7 event experiences to our supporters, 4 successful fundraising campaigns, and the forging of 13 new partnerships.
Advocates for Adolescent Mothers embraces our identity as a social enterprise, in that all of the initiatives offered through the organization are funded by contributions from private donors and fundraising events/campaigns. Over the years, Advocates for Adolescent Mothers will continue to prove that we are more than a mere nonprofit organization and social enterprise, but Advocates for Adolescent Mothers is a MOVEMENT!
Previous Stories
The odds are against young men and women who have children at early ages. Many fail to realize that these young men and women are very resilient, and with proper support from the community and others who care, these young people can go on to become productive, well-rounded citizens.
At Advocates for Adolescent Mothers, we firmly believe that young parents are not doomed to failure because they had a child at an early age. We are committed to empowering young parents, and providing them with the resources needed to break the cycle of poverty.
Education is one of the most effective weapons against poverty. Unfortunately, only 2 percent of teen mothers earn a college degree before 30. There are many barriers that inhibit young parents from returning to school, and/or completing and furthering their educations. Advocates for Adolescent Mothers continues to explore and implement strategies to address and conquer these barriers.
Although still in it's infancy, Advocates for Adolescent Mothers has a Board of Directors who are committed to the mission and vision of the Organization. Though they are few, AFAM's Board of Directors are effective, extremely productive, and genuinely concerned about the population of young parents and their children.

Apparently unfamiliar with the concept of "hubris" or "women and children into the lifeboats first," Australian billionaire Clive Palmer has announced plans to build a higher-tech replica of the Titanic, which will sail (hopefully all the way) from England to New York sometime in 2016. The project is currently underway in a shipyard in China.
"It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic," said Palmer, "but will have state-of-the-art twenty-first century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems." Palmer has dubbed the project
Titanic II: Made in China a "tribute to the spirit of the men and women who worked on the original Titanic."
Built to the scale of the original luxury liner, Titanic II would actually be much smaller than modern cruise ships, but would be powered by diesel rather than coal, and feature a larger rudder to improve maneuverability. It's estimated to carry approximately 1,680 passengers and measure 866 feet. Presumably, it would also carry a more realistic number of lifeboats.
"From a marketing point of view, many will embrace it and perhaps there'll be some that wouldn't," said one cruise industry expert. "If you've got a niche, it's going to work." That may be true, but if your "niche" is recreating the scene of a disaster that killed 1,500 people (and skinny Leo!), it's pretty ballsy to assume people are dying to pay money for that macabre experience. Then again, maybe I'm wrong and Titanic II will be a giant hit with tourists, tween girls, and morbid thrill-seekers alike. If that's the case, consider my signature line of Hindenburg vacation blimps already patented.

Kuala Lumpur - Johor Bahru
Malaysia Airlines
Seat 1A, Golden Club Class
Duration: 45min
Photo © David Wong
15 Sept
Alright then. Here am I back on a plane again within a week. What the hell was going on? It all started with an impulsive decision make the 3.5hr drive up to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore on Friday night. Within minutes after work, I showered, changed, had dinner and drove off into the horizon - figuring that I could be there by midnight and hit the clubs. After crossing the border on the Singapore side, my car decided to breathe its last just before I reached the Malaysian side of the immigration. Hence, my car was towed to an obscure little town called Gelang Patah, in the Malaysian state of Johor - about 45 mins drive from the state capital of Johor Bahru.
Thus, after the hoo-ha of the waiting game involving tow trucks and negotiations, I made it to KL in a bus at 7am Sat morning - after leaving Johor at 2am in the morning. After a weekend of partying till 6am on Sun morning, it was time to fly to Johor Bahru from Kuala Lumpur to collect my precious Rover, and driving it back to the comfortable confines of Singapore. Hence, this was an unplanned flight in my itinerary, so there are no photos from this trip!
It was a week of school holidays in Malaysia so flights were pretty full out of KUL. So once again, I had no choice but to fly Golden Club Class. Still, it was a struggle getting up the next day to make it for my 1400H flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Simply because I was still pretty stoned from the night before!
Boy! The departure level of the airport was a hive of activity, with thousands of Malaysians heading everywhere because of the holidays. The queue for ticket collection was long for Economy Class, but First and Golden Club Class was empty. So I got my ticket pretty quickly.
Farida nonchalantly slapped my ticket on the counter and thumbed me towards check-in island B, where all domestic flights check-in from.
Since I had no check-in baggage, I presented my ticket and my Enrich FFP card, and the formalities were quickly completed. A Golden Lounge invitation was given to me but I returned it because I simply had no time, it was already 1330H so I figured it was no point. I just wanted to get to my car! This is what an entire night of partying does to you the next day, grumpy and spaced out!
Quickly running through the Perlepasan Dalam Negri (domestic departure gates) security checks, my handphone set off the alarm and I had to go through the metal detector again. I managed to be the last one to board at Gate B07.
Running into the cramped confines of the 737-400 (reg. 9M-MMG), I was welcomed at the entrance by Leading Stewardess Joyce Lim. "Ah Mr Soh, we are just waiting for you!" she beamed.
I was ushered to my seat 1A and I noticed that I was on this aircraft previously in Jan. That was when I noticed the new interiors which, by now, I found out that it was on a few other 737s in the MAS fleet as well (eg. 9M-MMI). Seats were upholstered in dark purple fabric and was wide, arm rest was all new, but pitch was rather tight for First / Business Class, with 4 rows in the front cabin. Golden Club Class had about 3 other passengers but Economy Class looked full when I peered past the bulkhead.
It was 1350H so I wasn't that late after all. A pre-take off drink order was taken by the cheery Joyce and I chose guava juice, she also asked if I wanted lunch (hot savouries). You see, MAS takes the order individually from the pax (and served individually with coasters too...), and not served en masse on a tray, unlike the horrible Biz Class flight I had with Swiss last week. As far as I am concerned, they need to buck up BIG TIME! Now back to MAS...
With no one else boarding, the doors were closed at 1355H as Joyce handed out the hot towels. Another stewardess was briefly visible busy in the forward galley but I failed to get her name.
Pushback commenced at 1358H so we were rather on-time. Surprisingly, safety announcements were done in English, which is rather uncommon on a domestic flight - it is normally done in Bahasa Melayu, the national langauage of Malaysia.
A brief burst of power pushed us away from the manouevering area and off we taxied towards runway 32R. My empty glass and used towel was discreetly collected by Joyce (I didn't even realise she took them) after the safety demonstration. After that, she took orders for drinks which were to be served after take off.
We didn't even taxi to the end of runway 32R, but rather entered the platform from an access and commenced the take off roll from there. Obviously there was no need to utilise the entire runway for this small plane. The whine of flap extension was heard softly behind me as we continued taxiing for departure.
Entering the runway, take off clearance was immediate. The Sepang Formula 1 circuit raced past the windows on the other side of the aircraft while we smoothly rotated and up we went! Stabilising on a climb towards our assigned cruising altitude of 23000ft, a right turn was executed that brought us on a southerly track. Passengers on the right side of the plane had a spendid view of KLIA on that clear afternoon.
Since this was a short flight, Joyce wasted no time and laid out the meal linens after she quickly drew the curtains separating the two classes. Trays containing a bowl of fruit, an empty plate and a glass of pre-ordered drink was once again individually served to the pax from the galley. She came out again with a hot tray of hot savouries and encouraged each passenger to make his selection, that she would place on the empty plate with tongs.
The hot savouries included chicken drumlets, mini-quiche, crumbed fish fingers and crab cakes.
A second helping was offered that I gladly accepted. By then, we were 20mins into the flight and the first signs of descend was felt. Arrival announcements were made by the First Officer about the current weather (cloudy) and flight details (speed of 800km/h).
Trays were then collected as descend continued through the stormy skies. Bumps and buffet was making it difficult for Joyce to balance but she did it anyway. She then proceeded to secure the curtain behind and made a final walkthough the Golden Club Class cabin before strapping herself in.
Miles of palm plantation stretched for miled into the horizon outside so no wonder Malaysia is the world's largest producer of palm related products!
We sailed down and had a bumpy landing in Sultan Ismail Airport, Senai, Johor Bahru. This airport has only one runway and a single access into the manouvreing area, 4 aerobridges and a small but exquisitely modern looking terminal building. We nosed into Gate 2 and disembarked within a minute. I was delighted by the extremely pleasant surroundings of this airport which caught me rather by surprise.
Another wonderful flight with Malaysia Airlines...
Now then, I eventually collected my car uneventually after a 1hr taxi ride from the airport to the town of Gelang Patah. Once again, if I could thank all who helped me when my car broke down, I would.
Departure: 6/10 (MAS ground staff was not particularly friendly, but the modern and expansive confines of KLIA was a sight for sore eyes.)
Check in: 8/10 (Check in desk was tastefully decorated with a dark green carpet)
In flight service: 9/10 (Joyce was ever-smiling and pleasant. Was very accomodating to passenger's requests. There is a reason why MAS won the Skytrax Best Cabin Staff award and this is it!)
Catering: 5/10 (Greasy fare. Not a healthy choice)
Arrival: 8/10 (The modern Sultan Ismail Airport has very pleasing and modern interior with the generous use of bold and loud colours that is sure to wake up a pair of sleepy eyes. Facilities to meet arriving passengers are easy to spot and user friendly.)
Overall: MH 1051 scored a total of 35 points out of a possible 50 (70%). This was a excellent flight brought down by mediocre catering. However, the awesome cabin service made up for it.

I am not incapable of saying thank you. When someone passes me a pen I've dropped, or holds a door open for me, the two words automatically pop out. I don't even have to think about it.
But, if somebody tells me that I look nice, or I've done well with something, I take a second before I respond. My automatic reaction is to deny it ("No, but my hair is gross") or qualify it ("I don't know how it happened. It must just be complete luck"). If I receive a compliment, I have to actively force myself to be a normal human being and simply say "thank you".
But this isn't the only schoolgirl habit that has stuck. It has been almost six years since I left school, but my friends and I are all still trying to kick the worst traits we picked up pre, during and post-puberty. Here are some of the harder traits to kick:
Little Miss Perfect
Hermione Granger is a perfect student
I have no idea why, but as a girl I learnt that I needed to be perfect. My brother, who had the same upbringing and education as me, did not learn this – at all. While he was content with doing his best, I needed to do Kim's best because she was getting A*s.
Teen girls are so bad at this that Oxford High School for Girls is making tests that get harder and harder, to show girls it is "fine not to get everything right." Helen Fraser, the chief executive of the Girls' Day School Trust, has also said "being perfect is the enemy of learning". But perfectionism isn't just a bad habit to have at school; it is debilitatingly bad when you're trying to date, work, or even choose a sandwich in Pret.
Come with me?
Girls needed to go to the loo in packs
My best friend at school could not go to the toilet alone. It became a joke that she would always beg someone to come with her to the loos at lunchtime (which were next door to the canteen), but it was a symptom of a wider issue: she was so used to being surrounded by girls that she could not be without them.
I was – thankfully - able to go to the loo alone and even took it up a few levels by living abroad on my own post-university, but not every schoolgirl is so lucky. In fact, I dread to think what happens to girls who go to boarding schools…
Weird lies
It was normal to lie at school - never about anything serious - but always about revision, or the lack thereof. Instead of admitting the truth: "I spent six hours revising contours and volcanoes today," you would stand outside the exam hall shrieking: "ARGH I've done NO work at all."
This was never true, but the fear of being a 'boffin' (yes we actually used that word) was so strong that we had to downplay all of our achievements. Again, over in my brother's school next door, that was not an issue. I regularly heard about the boys' sporting, academic and pulling successes.
Where's my reward?
This one goes back to primary school. If you did well, you got a gold star. Skip forward a few years, and if you do well, you get a good GCSE under your belt. You'll also get some words of praise from your teachers at parent day.
But, in the working world, rewards are not the norm. You are expected to do your work well, without receiving a nice red tick every time. It means that schoolgirls who grew up learning to work strictly for approval have to quickly adjust that mindset.
She's so much better than me
The Mean Girls atmosphere never dies
School encourages girls to compare themselves to each other. It is meant to breed a healthy competitive spirit, but actually, when you're 23 years old and wondering if you're as good as your friends, it isn't so healthy.
Parents are just as bad as this. "Mel did so well in her 11+ exams and got scholarships", started as I left primary school, and eventually became: "Mel got into Cambridge. What a shame you're not going." To this day, Mel's CV is twice the size of mine.
The real world
It isn't just my friends and I who are plagued by these unconscious habits. A generation of schoolgirls are three times behind boys in maths classes, more risk averse and lack self-esteem, according to recent research. They worry as much as middle-aged men and it only gets worse when they leave their school bubble to go out into the real world and still wish they were as good as 'Mel' or whoever.
But, it isn't all doom and gloom. On the plus side, you're used to working hard, teamwork is like second nature to you, and you can always, always empathise with another ex-schoolgirl who blushes when you tell her she looks nice.

Pulaski & Middleman, LLC v. Google, Inc.
Google's AdWords program is an auction-based program through which advertisers would bid for Google to place their advertisements on websites. Pulaski and others filed a putative class action alleging that Google misled them as to the types of websites on which their advertisements could appear. On appeal, Pulaski challenged the district court's denial of class certification, holding that on the claim for restitution, common questions did not predominate over questions affecting individual class members. The court held that a court need not make individual determinations regarding entitlement to restitution. Instead, restitution is available on a class wide basis once the class representative makes the threshold showing of liability. Therefore, the court concluded that the district court erred in holding that such individual questions would predominate. In Yokoyama v. Midland National Life Insurance Co., the court held that damage calculations alone cannot defeat certification. The court concluded that Yokoyama remains the law of the court and the district court erred in not following the rule in Yokoyama. Finally, the court concluded that the proposed method for calculating restitution was not "arbitrary" under Comcast Corp. v. Behrend. Accordingly, the court reversed and remanded.

Session 30
In today's episode, Ryan talks with Lt. Col (Dr.) Aaron Saguil, the Assistant Dean for Recruitment and Admissions at F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine, better known to most people at USUHS (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) or, in layman's term, the military medical school. It is an allopathic medical school where you apply to it just as you would to other allopathic schools through the AMCAS applications yet the only major difference for this school is you get paid to go to medical school. Your tuition is free plus you're getting paid as an active duty service member.
Today, we cover things like information about who should consider applying to this school, careers in the military as a physician, deployments, and more topics about being a military physician.
Here are the highlights of the conversation with Dr. Saguil:
His path to military medicine:
- Going to Duke University in his undergrad under ROTC scholarship with the Army
- Wanting to go to medical practice since high school

Types of students that military medical school looks for:
1/3 of students have prior association with the military (ROTC, service academy, or previous active service)

USUHS vs. HPSP scholarship:

- Avg MCAT: 31
- They will view postbac work in lieu of your time as an undergrad
Some pieces of advice for premed students:
The military is not for everyone.
Part of the military is living up to the legacy that Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy about taking care of the wounded, the widow and the orphan.

Chivalry is not dead…
As a bus driver, one of the more irritating things I see are able bodied youngsters who sit in seats reserved for disabled and elderly passengers. (It's not an issue if the seats are offered up quickly when needed – I specifically sit in the reserved seating area so I can do just this). I recall one particularly nasty little piece of work who uttered "Oh f**k" in an annoyed tone when a visibly frail elderly woman politely asked him if she could sit in the seat he was *standing in front of*. (The short version of that story: She was able to access the seat and he waited for the next bus)
Given stories like this, it's nice to see there are lots of folks out there who are willing to step up to the plate. This morning I was driving my typically packed Sound Transit 550. When I reached Mercer Island, an elderly woman boarded but all of the reserved seats were occupied. A woman quickly stood up an offered her seat, which was very quickly accepted. At virtually the same time a younger man stood up and said to the woman who had just given up her seat "Oh, wait, I can't let you do that. Here, you take my seat". I didn't see what happened but given what I heard I suspect he had wanted to offer his seat to the elderly passenger but wasn't quite quick enough. Either way there was a lot of laughter and even a little applause.
(By the way, I'm only 44 – Am I allowed to use the label "youngster" when referring to teens and early twenty-somethings? 😉

2015 was a great year for retro-styled games. We got hundreds of new games thanks to the Indie scene but also big companies like Nintendo have joined the trend with games such as 'NES Remix' and 'Super Mario Maker'. Not to mention the new arcades and consoles that emulate the classics almost to perfection. So, yes, retro is still fashionable, and if anyone knows about it in our team, that's Alberto J. González, Co-founder of not only Abylight Studios but also Bit Managers.
Time flies! Last year was the 25th anniversary of his first title for the ZX Spectrum computer, 'Hostages'. Oh boy! A lifetime dedicated to video games. Although the game that we are talking about was released in 1990, Alberto started tinkering with Spectrum and the music software Wham! The Music Box a couple of years before (he was 16 years old). Since then, classic platforms like SNES, Game Boy, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, DSi, Wii, or more recently iOS, Android, Nintendo 3DS and Wii U have played his music and shown his graphic art.
At the same time, we live in a new "gold era" of classic-styled gaming and, as you may have noticed, it has also begun to proliferate a broad collection of books documenting the roots and origins of this phenomenon. The new generation of players have been surprised by an outlook that is very distant from the standards heading the gaming industry, awakening in many of them the need to go back in time through the pages of those books. But not just players, a new generation of developers are seeking inspiration in those pages and systems such as Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and MSX. As a result of this new wave of literature, works that were long forgotten have been re-discovered and with them the people that helped in their development; either because of nostalgia or their own merit in the history of video games.
Among those special publications, we can highlight 'The Story of the ZX Spectrum in pixels' which is a Fusion Retro Books series with three volumes so far. Alberto González collaborated on two of those volumes, recalling his beginnings as a programmer, graphic artist and musician. Here at Abylight we are very proud of his feats, filling us with joy and a bit of nostalgia. In the second volume you can find his comments on the technical aspects of sound along with other great composers of the platform. In addition, for those more interested in learning about the man himself, the book also includes a biography. ZX Spectrum enthusiasts can also enjoy the history of this platform at 'Sinclair ZX Spectrum: A Visual Compendium' from Bitmap Books, which also adds some of Alberto's comments about his experience as a graphic artist.
After a couple of years working for New Frontier and participating in the acclaimed 'North & South', he founded his own studio called Bit Managers. Despite his previous experience working as a graphic artist, he focused exclusively on music and sound effect department. Alberto, as a member of Bit Managers, composed music for more than thirty video games across a broad selection of platforms; especially for Nintendo handheld consoles like Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. After that experience with Nintendo games, it is not surprising that early last year he felt too excited (almost in tears) after receiving a special tribute in which he received an album with 13 songs included in soundtracks of Game Boy games, played with real instruments. No doubt, it is something he should be very proud (and we are too).
Regarding pride and tributes, we should not forget the great passage of the magazine 'I had a game'. An extensive 12 pages of Alberto's interview was published as part of its 10th volume. Thanks to this publication, many of the new members of Abylight's team could learn some secrets about the founder and even more surprising, they could check unreleased material of some old games for the first time. The story received a great reception cataloging some of those unpublished samples as gems. We cannot miss either the special mention of his work in the book 'Genesis: Essential Guide Spanish 8-bit video games'.
We are afraid that if we keep writing about tributes, appearances, interviews and other related content, we will never end this post. So we want to finish it as we started, celebrating Alberto J. Gonzalez's 25 years in the video game industry one more time.
Thank you very much for all your contributions to the video game industry so far. We look forward to the ones to come!
Eva Gaspar, CEO of Abylight: "After 25 years in a row engaged in professional game development, Alberto still has the same restless spirit of the early days"
Ricardo Fernández, Chief Programmer Abylight: "There is too much to tell about Alberto, it is not easy for me to synthesize it in a unique phrase, but I can say for sure, he is an excellent partner."

This excerpt from Steve Carper's "The Galaxy Science Fiction Novels" from TDE4 covers Galaxy Novel #6 (1951), The Alien by Raymond F. Jones:
"The alien of the title of Jones' book is found buried deep in an asteroid, the remains of a planet that exploded 500,000 years ago, creating the asteroid belt. That impossible cosmology is par for the book, which has its archaeologist heroes battle the weaponized brain of the alien by hopping into a convenient-but-never-before-mentioned faster-than-light starship and zooming to another planet to bring back the only weapon in the universe that can defeat him."
Steve's TDE article focuses on the first 35 Novels published by Galaxy. Surprisingly, the final 11 were published by sleaze house Beacon. For the story on those, see his follow-up piece in the current issue of Paperback Parade (#97) from Gryphon Books.

Fine Fare Since 1808
This prestigious two-story building was originally constructed in 1808 by Antoine Angue. It was the home of the first Creole restaurant in the city of New Orleans.
At the rear of the building were stables where the carriage horses were kept while patrons dined. Prior to the owners' extensive renovations, it still maintained its original dirt floors from the 19th century.
The property is now in the loving hands of Pam Fortner and Earl Bernhardt. They renovated this historic building making every effort to capture its original ambience of days of old.
Within these original bricked walls, rare tin paneled ceilings and 200 year old cast iron pillars, houses one of the most delectable menus in the city. The restaurant has a history of serving some of the city's most discriminating customers and has gained recognition from its serene atmosphere to its caliber of fare found nowhere else.
So... soak in the Southern atmosphere the Orleans Grapevine Wine Bar & Bistro has to offer as you sip vino from one of the largest selections of wines by the bottle in the French Quarter.
We welcome you to the Orleans Grapevine Wine Bar & Bistro as we continue its long tradition of serving high quality cuisine to New Orleans' best.

For years, the brown pie-shaped slice of land in John Freeman's El Cajon backyard was a nagging question.
He and his wife wanted something nice to look at from their balcony, but all they had was a few fruit trees, some brush and a lot of dirt. Putting a lawn on the 37,000-square-foot piece of land seemed like too much work and too much wasted water.
Then as Freeman drove to work in Rancho Bernardo about two months ago, it hit him. Gazing out off the Scripps Poway Parkway, he saw what he thought were grapevines in the distance.
"When I first saw what looked like grapevines, it just dawned on me – that's what we're going to do with that space," he said.
His space is being transformed into a vineyard – a backyard "microvineyard" as some people in the wine industry call it. The fruit trees and brush have been removed and the hard ground has been rototilled. Next will come trellises and hoses for a drip-irrigation system.
The last step will be planting vines. Sangiovese – the grape most often used to make chianti – will be planted, as will merlot. Pinot noir apparently doesn't do well in his area, so that's crossed off the list.
The San Diego area's dry weather and lack of frequent frosts make it a friendly environment for grapevines, and many residents are learning that microscale vineyards can fit into small spaces. The vines do not demand a lot of water and aren't especially picky about their dirt.
"That's the thing, you can do it in almost any kind of soil, except maybe crushed granite," said Susan Lynne Taylor, who has 30 merlot vines in her La Mesa backyard. "You can work with it a little bit and the grapevines don't mind at all."
A few days after seeing the vines on his way to work, Freeman checked the Craigslist Web site and found grapevines being sold by Greg Maness, the owner of Casi Cielo Farm and Vineyard.
Maness and his wife, Paula, bought the Jamul vineyard in 2006. It had been used as a vineyard for decades but had fallen into neglect. After buying the property, Maness set about resurrecting it. The land had been left vacant for two years, but there were 550 grapevines still growing.
People with just a piece of land about 20 feet wide and 30 feet long can start their own vineyard. It wouldn't be big – about 30 plants – and the vintner would have plenty of time to prepare for making wine. The two-year-old starter vines that Maness sells will not bear enough fruit to harvest for about two or three years. Freeman said he'll figure out what to do with the grapes when the time comes.
"I'm going to try my hand at winemaking," Freeman said. "I have no idea what to do, but I'm sure Greg will coach me."
Freeman said he figures he'll have spent $1,500 by the time he has his vineyard set up. He paid people to help rototill and clear his land and bought trellises and a drip-irrigation system. The 2-year-old rootstock plants Maness cost between $6 and $12 each, depending on the quantity ordered.
Building a microvineyard can be done for less money, however.
Taylor, the La Mesa resident, did not put in a drip-irrigation system when she planted her backyard vineyard two years ago.
"For two years, I didn't have any irrigations system except me and the hose. It depends on how much time you have," said Taylor, a longtime gardener who finds watering to be a "pleasant and therapeutic chore."
Maness said growing grapes is not particularly labor intensive, but maintenance is essential.
"There's 12 months of work and each month you have to do a little something," he said. "That's the best way I can describe it."
Taylor is in the process of planting another 100 vines on property she owns in Santa Ysabel and is buying vines from Maness. When it comes time to try winemaking, she plans on getting help from a friend in the Ramona area who has some expertise. She said grape growers and winemakers around Ramona have helped her.
"You couldn't find a more open bunch; they'll tell you everything," she said.
Maness said people can lower expenses by being patient and vigilant when starting a vineyard.
