That would be it. Man. Dat cast. I had no idea that Michael Keaton, Amy Ryan, and Danny McBride were involved in this, too. And J.B. fucking Smoove? So ready.
My only real issue with the pilot was that they may have covered too much ground. Like, where do they go from here with it?
See, I thought Ricky was the standout, as his performance following his friend's death showed the most depth I've ever seen from him as an actor. Like, I was almost moved to tears by it. Sure, Karl was his usual self, which is always great, but he wasn't being pushed into any new kind of territory. And in a weird way, I think his performance on the show sort of lends more credence to his entire shtick being an act. That his character transitioned so seamlessly into a fictional setting told me that there's always been a fictional component that Ricky, Steve, and him have just been really good about keeping covered up. The actual character of Derek didn't bother me in the least as Gervais showed a great deal of respect and affection for him. It didn't feel like he was making a mockery of the learning disabled so much as he was just showing that sort of character warts-and-all. I would have been more offended had he tried to sugar coat it and play it without the modicum of truth.
Just got done with the pilot for Derek. Legit thought it was the best thing Ricky has done since the original Office.
Hahahaha. Your new CBoT tag is the tag of the week. Kudos.
Have you checked out any of the American version of Shameless yet? I'm sort of shocked at how awesome that show has become since coming into its own. Its recently-ended second season was one of the most compelling and addictive pieces of idiot box that I've seen in some time. Great, great stuff.
Yeah, it pretty much just sucks all around, but especially so for the technical crew as they were informed that they wouldn't be getting any sort of severance pay and that they were out of jobs effectively immediately. And this is just as they had begun shooting the second season, so the crew were expecting for several months worth of work ahead of them. As a viewer, though, it was nice to see that they had at least wrapped up a bunch of story arcs, so the season finale actually worked as a series finale in many regards. Come to think of it, Hoffman's "Ace" Bernstein might have been the only character without any sort of closure. Sucks to see it go, but at least it doesn't feel as gaping open and unresolved as, say, Milch's Deadwood.
Yeah, Luck was well-received by critics, but there was just no way in hell they could survive the PR nightmare associated with killing 3 horses to make some television. Shame, too, as the show was quite excellent. But, yeah, once the story broke on TMZ, the show was pretty much doomed.
I love every bone in your body - especially mine
WWE question: Do you actually even give a shit about the fact that Rock makes the entire roster look weak? I know I don't. If anything I'm just happy that he's there... Like, apart from Punk, the entertaining wordsmiths are few and far between. Even Jericho has had me phasing out and thinking of other things recently, plus, his feud with Punk just makes him seem really old lol. Or should I say it makes me feel old.. 1996 I first heard of him.. That's sixteen years.. Fuck, I'm aging fast here! Have to point out that the fact that both Punk and Daniel Bryan won their respective Elimination Chamber matches made me mark. Its almost as if Gabe Sapolsky were secretly pulling the strings backstage.

Ok ok, so here's my question: everyone says it's not as good as UC2. I tried to dislike, but eventually really enjoyed 2. Is it worth my time for 3? Also, goty or non?
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Review
Game Emblems
The Good
Uncharted 3 is a bar-raising triumph for action gaming, with amazing visuals, subtle innovations and superb multiplayer.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception continues where its predecessor left off, delivering a memorable adventure that pleases on all fronts.
The Good
- Lots of exciting tactics in combat
- Expertly designed levels reward experimentation
- Great pacing
- Excellent presentation including visuals, voice acting, and music
- Exciting competitive and cooperative play.
The Bad
- Slight AI flaws
- Stiff platforming limits creativity.
Is it possible to have your expectations raised too high? Uncharted 2: Among Thieves delivered a monumental leap over the first game in the series, and it might be easy to fall into the trap of assuming the same advancements would take place in every subsequent release. If that's your state of mind going into Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, you might walk away slightly disappointed. But that's not a fair response. Though the third entry in this treasure-hunting franchise offers a similar experience to its revered predecessor, it's no less magical. Just about every element showcases the care and craftsmanship you would expect from the series. Combat is even more versatile than in previous entries, combining incredible shooting encounters with advanced hand-to-hand takedowns set in lavishly designed areas. When you need a break from the taxing physical endeavors, thoughtful puzzles allow you to explore your more contemplative side. And these two elements are punctuated by exhilarating set-piece events that leave you gasping. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is another superb entry in Nathan Drake's ongoing quest to find the world's many lost treasures.
Once again, Nathan Drake is in search of lost treasure in a mysterious land. The story encompasses many of the same tropes from previous games--deception, twists, camaraderie--though the nuts and bolts of the plot have never been one of Uncharted's strong points. Rather, it's the realistic portrayal of characters--their lively back-and-forth discussions and snide jokes--that give you a reason to care about the tale. Drake, Sully, and the supporting cast sport detailed animation that makes them almost look real, and their playful dialogue further cements this image. Tempers flare, threats are made, and you can feel the tension during heated moments. But these lifelong friends always make up, and it's their believable relationships that make it so easy to become invested in their struggles.
When you picture Uncharted, you may think of plundering ancient tombs or throwing as many grenades as you can manage in bombastic sequences. But the opening of Drake's Deception eschews the larger-than-life action the series is known for in favor of an old-fashioned bar brawl. This is where the new animations that have been incorporated into fisticuffs are apparent as you wrestle with a platoon of aggressive men in a confined place. Shoving a burly dude into the bar while you pummel his face or grabbing a stray bottle to crash over someone's head conjures images of Patrick Swayze handling business in Road House, and the controls are precise enough to make it possible to manage an approaching group without getting your face beaten. Ultimately, these instances where you're forced to take matters into your own hands are the weakest aspect of the game because your freedom is so limited, but that's not to say they're boring. There's a satisfying rhythm to throwing fists while avoiding counters, and you have enough flexibility to move around that you don't feel like you're just performing mindless quick-time events.
As much fun as it may be to bash in a man's head with a wooden chair, it can't match the thrill of beating a man with your fists when he's sporting an assault rifle. There are segments where you have to fistfight in Drake's Deception, but there are other times when you're in a battle for your life and you can use any weapon you want to stay alive. Thanks to the incredibly impactful animations of a hand-to-hand assault, it's fun to put aside the bullets and explosives to focus on getting your hands dirty instead. Being sneaky certainly helps. Snapping a man's neck before he can turn around or just shoving someone clear off a building is immensely rewarding. But there are other times when stealth doesn't work, and you find yourself grappling, feinting, and punching below the belt, while bullets fly and enemies scream death threats at you. Particular animations make these encounters a special treat. You may grasp the barrel of your gun and swing at someone's head with a metal uppercut or elbow a foe in the neck like a wrestler suffering from roid rage, and it's hard to contain your joyous laugh. There are times when you run out of bullets and fighting with your fists is the only way to go. Once you finish off your foe, a slow motion moment in which Drake snatches your enemy's discarded gun in midair adds a fitting end to the fight.
Of course, you don't have to go toe-to-toe if you'd rather not. The beauty of Uncharted's combat is that you can dispatch foes in a variety of ways, and all of them feel incredibly empowering. The key is the expertly designed levels. Drake's Deception is a cover-based, third-person shooter; thus, chest-high walls populate many of your encounters. But those familiar structures aren't used as a crutch here. Verticality gives you the option to climb around like a gun-toting monkey if you prefer, getting the drop on lackadaisical foes. If a man with a rocket launcher is forcing you to hunker behind a piece of debris, fear not; you can smoothly leap from cover, shimmy up a nearby wall, and sprint pell-mell across a rooftop. Grab a sniper rifle on the way if you want to handle him from afar or a shotgun if you'd like to pop him right in the head. Toss grenades at the group of enemies hiding by that well, man the turret once you finish off its previous operator, or sprint past everyone until you make it to the door that marks your safety. Versatile level design lets you choose how to go about killing your pesky foes in Drake's Deception, and rock-solid controls ensure every action you want to perform can be pulled off without any hesitation.
If you're feeling sluggish and just want to use your gun for a while, doing so is a perfectly valid alternative to the high-flying adventuring. The mechanics in Drake's Deception have been refined even further from the previous game. No matter which gun you grab, you can target weak points with ease, and enemies recoil when you prick their flesh with searing-hot bullets. Drake's Deception offers so many different ways to take down foes that you might think it falls into the camp of jack-of-all-trades, master of none. But that's not true at all. If you take things slowly--crouch behind cover only risking your neck when the opportunity presents itself--you have just as much of a chance to succeed as someone who makes use of Drake's agility. And you can have just as much fun, too. The weapons are a blast to use. Landing a headshot from across the map with a sniper rifle is eminently satisfying, as is taking out a gunner with a sure blast from a shotgun. You can easily keep an enemy off balance with a fast-shooting assault rifle or knock a grenade right out of someone's hand with a steady pistol. Ample ammunition lets you focus on the fun of firing rather than scrounging for extra bullets, so you can stick with your favorite weapon if you want or mix things up after every fight.

A town has fallen silent to mark the 20th anniversary of the murder of two boys in an IRA outrage.
Hundreds of people observed the minute silence as 20 peace doves were released at a moving civic event to commemorate the Warrington bombing, on March 20 1993, which tore through the Cheshire town's shopping centre, instantly killing three-year-old Johnathan Ball.
Tim Parry, 12, became the second victim when he died of his injuries five days later.
A further 56 people were injured by the two bombs which were placed in litter bins in Bridge Street and exploded shortly after midday that sunny Saturday afternoon.
No warning was given and nobody has ever been prosecuted for the outrage which took place the day before Mothering Sunday.
Saturday's event on the same street where the bombs detonated was held to commemorate one of the Trouble's most shocking attacks, which sparked a wave of public outcry in the UK and both sides of the border in Ireland at the deaths of the two youngsters.
Tim Parry's parents Colin and Wendy stood near the spot where their son was fatally injured for the moment of reflection. The couple have gone on to set up the Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation for Peace, which has since become an internationally recognised centre for conflict resolution and victim support.
After the silent reflection Mr Parry, addressed the event, attended by survivors of the bombing along with Mike Penning, Minister of State for Northern Ireland, Alderman William Leathem, the Mayor of Lisburn and local dignitaries and community representatives.

Michigan House Republicans blocked a state representative from speaking on the floor on Thursday after she referenced certain parts of female anatomy in a speech on an abortion bill.
"Finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but 'no' means 'no,'" Rep. Lisa Brown (D) said to cap her remarks in which she expressed stark opposition to a series of bills regulating abortion, including one that would ban the procedure after 20 weeks unless the woman's life was in danger, according to The Detroit News.
House Republicans called the remarks over the line and barred her from participating in a subsequent debate on education.
"It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women," one state representative said. "I would not say that in mixed company."
But Brown was defiant, accusing her colleagues of trying to censor her with their sensitive take on acceptable decorum.
"If I can't say the word vagina, why are we legislating vaginas?" Brown said at a press conference. "What language should I use?"
A second lawmaker, Rep. Barb Byrum (D), was also gaveled down after introducing a bill that would require men to prove that their life was in danger before they were allowed to receive a vasectomy.
"I was ignored by the majority floor leader and not allowed to speak on my amendment, which would have held the same standards for men and women when it comes to legal, voluntary procedures in reproductive health, and now I am being silenced for standing up for women," Byrum said, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Here's video of the Brown speech that caused the stir:

The strip focuses on the day-to-day lives of a family of blue birds. The hero, the husband and the father. The ever-optimistic Bewley is consistently undermined by the shenanigans of his over-protective wife and twins Bea and Tonus. Only Coco the egg lets him really express himself. The strip is as bright and enthusiastic as Bewley himself.

I really like the ingenuity here. It would be great to somehow automagickally move the book up against the platen with a treadle, and have your auto-button-presser use the same treadle mechanism. In any case, great work and refreshing approach!
I saw on the YT video that you're using the flash -- mind posting a sample page from a book with glossy paper? I'm very curious if you get any glare or not, since I haven't done much with the so-called "air-platens" like yours.

2012 was a year of change and growth. As with every New Year, there's something reassuring about starting anew. I'm entering 2013 feeling optimistic, calm, and forward-thinking. I can't wait to see what this year holds! Who knows what kind of recap post I will be writing one year from now!
As always, I am thankful for your readership, your business, and your friendship. Her Side Project would not be what it is today without you.
This year:
I made new friendships (both inside and outside the office), finally set the Her Side Project Facebook Page live, started wearing new specs more often, upgraded my camera equipment to the Canon 5D Mark III (big personal/professional achievement!), celebrated the marriage of five different wonderful couples!, started running and training for my first half marathon on behalf of an extremely important person, celebrated one year with that certain special someone, attended several live music shows (noteworthy: Florence & The Machine and Joe Pug), joined and became quite active with an amazing organization (AWC Austin), cheered on the Texas Longhorns (Hook 'Em!), attended another fab year of SXSW, met the famed Boot Whisperer!, supported my best friend as she became a mother, traveled extensively… and so much more.
Wishing you a bright year full of new beginnings.
All my love,
Here are the highlights:
A sweet redheaded baby boy:
Met one of my favorite bloggers at SXSW '12: cupcakes and cashmere.
Visited beautiful Washington, DC, Beaver Creek, CO, Charleston, SC, and NYC.
Met a little girl with a flower in her hair.
Old family & friends in the beautiful Texas Hill Country!
Birthday twins.
"Got Smart."
Hung out with some super fierce crime fighters.
Photographed my dear cousin's picture-perfect family.
Celebrated some rockin' birthday parties.
Pretty in pink portraits.
Nuptials in Jamaica, mon.
Posed with the sister: graduate edition.
Christmas: A family affair
2011 recap.

ANDERSON—An Anderson man is dead after falling 65 feet from crane at an address in Pendleton.
Gerald Lee Culler Jr., 36, was trimming branches high in the air Tuesday morning when things took a fatal turn.
"At about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday morning at an address in Pendleton, (Culler) was cutting the tops off of some tall pine trees," Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said. "He was in a bucket about 65 feet above the ground and was using a chainsaw. When he cut the top off, the top swung around and hit the bottom of the trunk, causing it to bump into the bucket he was standing in. It kicked him out."
Shore said the fall was well over 50 feet.
"He fell about 65 feet and had blunt forced trauma to his head and neck," Shore said. "He died at the scene."
Shore said Culler usually wears safety equipment, but was not protected at the time of the incident.
"Unfortunately he didn't have any of his safety equipment on," Shore said. "He had it on the ground, but he wasn't wearing it. All his co-workers and folks that witnessed it on the ground were kind of surprised because he normally does wear his gear. It was a fatal decision."
Shore said Culler's death was sudden.
"Pendleton EMS and Sandy Springs Fire Department responded to the call, but Culler was pronounced dead at the scene," Shore said. "It was a sudden death."
Culler leaves behind three small children.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator Online
Discover your personality type with the real MBTI® assessment
Taking the official Myers Briggs Type Indicator® online is the quickest, most accurate way to discover your personality type and explore what it means for you. Explore your preferences, how you think about things, and how you approach the world around you.
How the MBTI works
When you take the official MBTI online, you'll answer questions about your unique style of getting energized, making decisions, organizing your life, and learning about the world around you. Your responses show your preferences on four facets of personality:
- Extraverted or Introverted? Do you get your energy from other people, or from your own internal world?
- Sensing or Intuitive? Do you focus on the present and what you can see, or the future and what you can imagine?
- Thinking or Feeling? Do you make decisions based on logic, or on values and people?
- Judging or Perceiving? Do you prefer things structured and organized, or flexible and spontaneous?
Put together, these four personality facets create a four-letter personality type, such as ENFP or ISTJ. Discovering your personality type can help you to explore and understand yourself as an individual.
Who should take the MBTI
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator assessment may be taken by anyone age 14 and up. People take the MBTI for many reasons: to plan for a satisfying career, to improve their relationships, to understand their personal strengths and weaknesses, or just to explore an interest in psychology.
Because your Myers-Briggs personality type describes how you approach every area of your life, it can help you improve yourself at work, at home, and in relationships.
Understanding who you are makes you more prepared to make choices that will make the most of your strengths.
Taking the Myers-Briggs assessment online
Our online format makes the MBTI easy and convenient to take. Get started by adding the assessment to your cart with the button to your right. Once you've completed your purchase, you can access the Myers-Briggs assessment right away. The inventory takes about 30 minutes to complete.
We create your detailed test report (see a PDF sample) and send it to you within 12 hours. You'll also receive a personalized interpretation from one of our expert consultants.
Questions & Answers
Q. Can the MBTI help me choose the right career?
Absolutely! The Myers-Briggs assessment is an excellent career planning tool because it helps you to understand your innate strengths, and shows you which careers will be satisfying and motivating to you over the long term.
If you are looking to use the MBTI for career planning, we would recommend you order our special report for this purpose. The MBTI for Career Planning shows you the top careers for your type, strengths and challenges at work, and personalized tips for the job search.
Q. Can I purchase the MBTI as a gift?
Of course! Our checkout system is set up to make this very easy to do. Simply enter your information for billing where indicated. Then, our system will ask for the name and email address of the person taking the test. Simply fill in the information for your gift recipient and they will receive personalized instructions to complete the assessment.
Q. Why should I pay for the official MBTI® instead of taking a free test online?
Taking a free personality type quiz can be a fun and interesting exercise, but it's not recommended if you really need accurate information about your type. The most popular free quizzes online were developed by untrained hobbyists, not professional psychologists. Generally, you cannot rely on free "Myers Briggs" tests to correctly identify your personality type.
In contrast, the official Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment has been rigorously analyzed by professional psychologists. What's more, the real MBTI is always provided with a personalized, professional interpretation session. This allows you to verify your type with an expert, and apply your new knowledge to your work and life.

Hello all,
Recently I was reading the book : a druid rennaissance with forword from philip carr-gomm.
There was an article there that really touched me somehow. A woman named christine worthington (not sure for first name) told her story about how she became chosen for modron.
Now I wonder: what is this modron? What role does this has in our order?
If any of you could enlighten me, I would love to be guided to some information.
I also red the article about the new pendragon from philip, but couldn't find an explanation about the modron there?
Warmest regards from the starry stones!

Kidney damage can occur in children taking common drugs for fever and pain relief, a study finds. Researchers looked at records for about 1,000 cases of kidney damage treated at a children's hospital. In about 3% of cases, the damage was related to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). About two-thirds of these children had been using the common drug ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin and others). Other NSAIDs include naproxen (Aleve) and ketorolac (Toradol). Most of the children had been taking normal doses for a week or less. Most of them also were dehydrated. They did not have normal amounts of fluid in their bodies. Many had lost fluids through vomiting and diarrhea, as well as not drinking enough. The kidneys have a way to protect themselves from damage when the body becomes dehydrated. But researchers said the NSAIDs interfere with this protection. Most children recovered from kidney damage, but for some it was permanent. The Journal of Pediatrics published the study online January 25. HealthDay News wrote about it.

What Is the Doctor's Reaction?
Parents, please think before giving ibuprofen.
Ibuprofen (brand names Motrin, Advil and others) is a medicine commonly used for treating fever and pain. It works well. Sometimes it's faster and better than acetaminophen, the other medicine parents reach for when their children are sick. It's so easy to give and effective that people often think of it as completely safe.
It's not.
No medicine is completely safe. They all can have side effects or cause allergic reactions. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs). These drugs, which also include naproxen (Aleve) and ketorolac (Toradol), can cause bleeding problems. We've also known that they can cause kidney problems. However, those are thought of as being rare. Doctors don't always mention the possibility to patients.
A study just released suggests that those kidney problems may not be as rare as people think. Researchers from Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis looked at the medical records of children admitted between 1999 and 2010. They identified more than 1,000 who were treated for kidney damage. Of those, about 3% had kidney damage caused by NSAIDs. Most were teens, but some were younger.
Many of the children who had kidney damage after taking NSAIDs were also suffering from dehydration. This means a shortage of fluids in your body. When you are dehydrated, medicines may be at a higher concentration in the blood. Dehydration also puts stress on the kidneys.
Kidney damage may not have obvious symptoms at first, making it hard for parents to notice a problem. Many of the patients who had kidney damage got completely better, but some of them were very sick, requiring stays in the intensive care unit. Some did not get completely better and still had damaged kidneys when they left the hospital.
What Changes Can I Make Now?
First and foremost, it's a good idea to think twice before giving your child any over-the-counter medicine. Ask yourself, is this really necessary?
It's really important to remember that fever isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fever is one of the ways the body fights infection; germs don't like high temperatures. Many parents feel that they have to get their child's temperature down, but the truth is that in the majority of cases, they really don't.
If your child is drinking and basically comfortable, especially if the fever is under 102 degrees, hold off on giving anything for the fever. You'll avoid the risk of a side effect of the medicine, and your child might actually get better faster if you let his body do what it does naturally.
Call the doctor if your child:
The other reason that parents often give ibuprofen and other NSAIDs is for pain. Certainly we don't want children to be in pain. But if the pain is mild, consider holding off or trying other measures, such as massage or rest. Talk to your doctor about what you can and should to do for any pain your child is having.
It's especially important to be careful not to give NSAIDs when children are dehydrated, doctors in the study said. If you are giving ibuprofen, make sure that your child is drinking well and regularly. If not, it's better not to give it.
Some parents give medicines "just in case." For example, they might give ibuprofen when a child has a cold, in case she gets a fever. Please don't do that.
What Can I Expect Looking to the Future?
I hope that this study will help parents learn what they need to know about NSAIDs, and make them a bit more cautious in general about giving medicines. Both of these would be good things. I also hope this study will help doctors remember that they need to warn people about all the side effects of medicines, and talk to them more about being safe with any and all medicines.

We will set off from the tourist pier heading southeast, sailing along Bahía de Ushuaia, with the beautiful view of the capital of Tierra del Fuego behind us. Once in the center of the Beagle Channel, we face the archipelago where Alice Island lies, inhabited by an important colony of imperial cormorants. During the tour, we will have the chance to watch the majestic 'Ceja Negra Albatrosses', Scuas and different varieties of seagulls, not to leave aside the beautiful Vapor or Alakush ducks. We sail on through the channel to the east in the direction of the Eclaireus archipelago where Isla de Los Lobos (Seals' Island) is. At this island, we will watch the two different species of seals: single or double haired. On another island, the lighthouse named after the archipelago was built, and it was precisely in this area where the 'Buque Crucero Mte. Cervantes' was shipwrecked in 1930. Continuing east, we will sail between Almanza Port (Argentina) and Williams Port (Chile) to enter the area of Paso Mackinlay and then directly to Martillo Island where the Magellanic smart penguins will be waiting for us.

The park was established in 1960 with the intention of protecting the southernmost portion of the sub Antarctic forest and is made up of 63000 hectares. Unlike many other parks, it combines the ocean, forests and mountains. The biological richness of the Tierra del Fuego Island with its beautiful scenery is simply stunning. You can find animals such as red foxes, cauquenes, ducks, Patagonian wood peckers and more than 90 species of birds that are part of the Fuegian fauna, as well as beavers and rabbits, which were introduced to the island by colonizers. The forest is formed by lengas, guindos, ñires and valleys of peat and lichens. Ensenada Bay, Lake Roca and Lapataia Bay (the end of the Pan-American Highway that connects Alaska and Tierra del Fuego) give color to this unique place where we can still find reminders of the ancestral inhabitants: the yámanas. At the end of the tour you will be brought back to the pier.
Fly from Ushuaia to El Calafate. The direct flight duration is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Please note: Flight rates and availability are subject to change until booking.

As well as some flowers of diverse colors like the outstanding "notro" with its intense red colour.
A large visitor centre at the site features a walking circuit which allows views of different faces and the surface of the glacier. There is also a restaurant at the site, if you feel like stopping and having some lunch (not included). Throughout the day your guide will explain the general features of the glacier and give specific details of Glacier Perito Moreno's flora and fauna, and its particular formation.

Enjoy the views as the boat sails amid ice floes alongside impressive landscapes located off the western shores of the Upsala Glacier. One of the most beautiful views of the glacier is its large ice flows floating adrift to the will of the wind along the Northern Arm and across Lake Argentino. The wind, the sun and the rain give them their unique shape. After a tour in the surrounding area, discover the history of the Argentinian ranch of Estancia Cristina, vantage points of the glacier, and the local flora and fauna before having lunch. Chef Lorena Papasergio has created a cuisine style that mingles regional flavors with signature cuisine, featuring the best Argentinean meat, Patagonian lamb and tasty smoked cheese.
