10 Ways to Eat Healthy When Dining Out
Tips for eating healthy at restaurants, no matter the cuisine
Today on The Daily Meal

Most Popular
For many, the last two weeks have likely gone by in a gastronomic flurry of sweets, red meat, and fried hors d'oeuvres, followed by vows to make 2012 the year when diet resolutions finally stick. Often, the biggest challenge to following through on eating right is eating out. There's something about dining in restaurants that makes it easier to lose resolve.
Click for 10 Ways to Eat Healthy When Dining Out Slideshow.
There are an overwhelming number of choices in an environment where it's difficult to control the options, or the ingredients used to make your meal. It's fine to indulge occasionally, but if you want to avoid that post-consumption regret, you have to enter each restaurant meal with a game plan.
Registered dietician Christine Tseng explains, "The biggest issue with eating out is portions. Restaurants tend to give more than a person can consume, and I think that is a challenge for many restaurant goers. Besides portions, restaurants tend to use ingredients that are higher in fat, therefore higher in calories, to provide the mouthful feel that many of us are accustomed to. We as consumers can only do our best at making healthful food choices when we dine out, but we cannot manipulate the ingredients that the chef chose to use."
Nearly every restaurant has a web site these days, making it very simple to look at menus before going out and choose dining destinations with healthier options. Chain restaurants often list calorie and nutrition information on their web sites as well, making it even easier to make informed choices. Aside from these tools though, most of us are still baffled when it comes to navigating menus.
Here are 10 guidelines for eating healthy when eating out at restaurants no matter what cuisine they're serving, so you can make more nutritious choices in any dining situation, from Chinese to French.

Lakeforest Mall may be sold
It was built in 1978, and at the time was the gem of Montgomery county, but today it looks like age and the times have caught up with Lakeforest Mall.
Some have complained that the mall is too rundown and it doesn't have the shops customers are looking for, which means shoppers go to other malls in the area.
That competition has Lakeforest's owners looking for someone to take the mall off their hands. But some locals fear it will reduce their shopping options.
"We ain't gonna have no malls," says shopper Jerri Costello. "(It's) gonna be like the days when you had just department stores in the city."
Lakeforest could meet the fate of two other local community malls built around the same time: White Flint in Rockville and Laurel Mall. Bigger malls with better stores eventually took all the business from the malls.
In the past few years, Laurel Mall has turned into a white elephant. With customers preferring to go elsewhere, it now sits nearly vacant waiting to be demolished.
"These, days they aren't making malls anymore," says Shanikka Foster, a local shopper. "They are making town centers."
And that's the plan for Laurel - an expansive town center is scheduled to evolve soon. Plans are also being discussed to demolish White Flint and turn it into a pedestrian friendly town center, a clear sign of an end of an era for the once great community mall.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"The play's two hours fly by as if you've barely taken a breath. . . . Ethical dilemmas arise like exploding mines."–Variety "Mr. Margulies is a skilled practitioner of fluid dialogue that is naturally funny and sensibly smart." –The New York Times In his "absorbing intelligent" (Los Angeles Times) and timely new play, Donald Margulies uncovers the layers of a relationship between a photojournalist and foreign correspondent—once addicted to the adrenaline of documenting the atrocities of war, and now grounded in the couple's Brooklyn loft. Photographer Sarah was seriously injured while covering the war in Iraq; her reporter partner James had left weeks earlier, when the stress and horrors became too much for him. Now James writes online movie reviews while Sarah recovers, mourning for her Iraqi driver (and former lover) killed in the explosion, and itching to get back behind the camera. With this play—coming to Broadway this winter—Margulies revisits themes of being an artist, as characters ask: What does it mean to capture suffering on film, rather than stopping to intervene? Donald Margulies received the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Dinner with Friends, which has been produced throughout the world. Other plays include Sight Unseen (OBIE Award), Brooklyn Boy, and Collected Stories, among many others. Synopsis:New from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Dinner with Friends.

Hyundai Motor America Complaint - 2008 Sante Fe Brake Issues
Review by
Comments (3)
WEST SENECA, NEW YORK -- I googled today and found other reviews. I see I am not the only one who has a brand new 2008. Only 3 weeks old to me and it is at 1100 miles. Lost the brakes twice this past Friday. Once I was trying to stop and they were not there but, finally at last moment as I tried to steer to a ditch they finally grabbed. Then on my return trip I was fully stopped but, still not confident. I left two car lengths in front of me. Good thing the brake let go and my SUV shot forward. Luckily as I quickly hit the brake it grabbed this time. Got the vehicle home and called the tow to go back to the dealer. Dealer did give me a used 2007 car to drive. The salesman told me the service department narrowed it down to the master cylinder. But, today when I called with a suggestion my brother had they insisted they couldn't get the problem to duplicate and at this moment don't think theres anything wrong. I am uncomfortable and do not want to drive it waiting for it to happen. I will not be happy if they do not replace what would be the cause just because they can't duplicate. Do we have to wait until I hit a car or worse yet have an accident where someone it injured or killed before they consider this issue to be real? Will post more as I continue with this saga. So much for buying new and not having anything to worry about.
Maybe Hyundai is not the best choice in vehicles. It's great warranty but, not if I am going to have accidents because of inferior quality of parts they use.

Probably a good thing you're documenting what happened somewhere. I had a problem with my FORD vehicle last year when my gas peddle stuck to the floor and I was going over 100 mph - good thing no other cars on the highway that morning. I was able to call my Father who told me to turn off the ignition. Saved my life! So, I can relate, it's really hard to get back in a vehicle that you do not feel safe in. I would suggest when you get your car back to make sure a mechanic tests drives it with you - so if anything does happen.. Good luck!

Four shipping industry companies and organisations have been honoured for their outstanding contributions to maritime safety. The third annual Safety at Sea International Awards were presented June 10 at a banquet in Oslo in recognition of excellence in programmes, products and services that encourage and promote safety in the maritime environment. Prizes were awarded in four categories: equipment, systems, training and management/operations. In addition, a special AMVER (Automated Mutual-assistance Vessel Rescue System) award was given to pay homage to bravery and seamanship in assisting those in peril on the sea. The awards ceremony was moderated by Paul Gunton, managing editor of Safety at Sea International magazine, and the awards were presented by Stephen Meyer, chief inspector of marine accidents for the U.K. Marine Accident Investigation Branch. In the equipment category, Cosalt was the winner for its Premier 1010 lifejacket. The judges were impressed by its various patented features developed over three years and benefiting from 1,000 hours of in-water testing. The jacket's neck and head support arrangement adjust to the wearer's neck size and hold the head at an optimum angle to keep the mouth clear of the water. In the systems category, Seatag Safety Systems took the prize for its real-time passenger accounting systems, which provide rapid real-time indication of passenger mustering in the event of a ship evacuation at sea. Star Cruises was the winner in the training category with its bridge management system. The system was underpinned by a thorough training regime via the company's established ship simulator centre, and, despite a 12-year accident-free record, the operator had boosted the training programme with an advanced bridge resource management course to raise skills to a higher level and further reduce accident risk. In the management/operations category, the award went to the European Union Naval Force Operational Headquarters for the EU Maritime Security Centre (Horn of Africa) reporting service. The Web-based service assists ships in transiting the Gulf of Aden, Horn of Africa and Somali Basin by coordinating maritime forces to protect shipping against piracy. In a final award, Captain Lazaros Vasileiadis and the crew of the tanker Parthenon were recognised for their role in rescuing four Swedish sailors from their yacht during stormy seas off Cabo de São Vicente, Portugal. The weather was so rough that a rescue helicopter was forced to return to shore, and the yacht's liferaft had been swept away. Despite the conditions, Captain Vasileiadis maneuvered the ship alongside the foundering yacht and brought the four sailors aboard.

Capacity Shelving Unit, Black: I set this up next to Staples Wire Shelving and I am happy with it because it is the size I need for the space. But this brand seems cheaply constructed so I will need to make sure to only store light items on it. The description states that it holds up to 200 lbs. but I wouldn't risk it. If it comes in the size you need, The Staples Wire Shelving is a better choice. It is comparable to Metro Shelving and is extremely strong and holds heavy weights. The Staples wire shelving is less expensive than Metro too.

Abstract (eng): | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Convex optimization provides a natural framework for pricing and hedging financial instruments in incomplete market models. Duality theory of convex optimization has been shown to yield elementary proofs of well-known martingale-expressions for prices of European contingent claims. This paper extends the analysis to American contingent claims in incomplete markets. The pricing problems of the seller and the buyer of an American contingent claim are first expressed as convex optimization problems, after which martingale-expressions for the buyer's and seller's prices are obtained by inspecting the dual optimization problems. Besides its simplicity, one of the main advantages of the present approach is that it is computational. Indeed, many algorithms are available for pricing problems as soon as they are set up as convex optimization problems. Also, portfolio constraints and transaction costs can be immediately incorporated to the definitions of the buyer's and seller's prices and into computational approaches based on optimization. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Denver Post reports there are still "small questions" about Peyton Manning and the strength of the quarterback's right hand and right triceps.

Winning the Associated Press' 2012 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award, Manning thrived in Denver and led the Broncos to a 13-3 mark.

As of 2:18 AM, I just finished the first draft of Ugly as I've made another major change late in the third act as I felt the original scene didn't fit in with the rest of the story and wrote something similar that I feel would be more in tune.
Now that's done with about 38 pages of material, not counting the first page. I would say that I'm relieved that it's done for now though I'm not sure what else I could add. For now, it's finished and most of all, at the most appropriate day as it's Jena Malone's 27th birthday as I essentially wrote this project just for her.
What I will do next is The Night Escort which is an entirely different project though I feel like everything I'm going to write about will be about alienation, loneliness, and isolation in some kind of form. It's really all I know.
Other than that, I'm not sure what to do as I recently tried to convert the script into a PDF film but since I wrote the whole script into Microsoft Word. It didn't work and plus, it cost money which I don't really have at the moment. So for anyone that has been reading my journal and wants to read my script. Just email me at email@example.com so that it can be read and I would like to have some feedback.
Finally, to Ms. Jena Malone. Thank you for motivating me to write this for you and I hope you have a wonderful happy birthday.
I will make another post once I go over the final pages where it's likely I'll make some changes and then hopefully transfer it into a PDF file for people interested in reading it.
I just made a major change for a scene early in the film. For the past few weeks, I keep looking over to what to add or re-write. So far right up until the second half. There's only been very minor changes. I've tweaked the dialogue a bit on a few places and such. Not many changes though I got rid of a few minor characters.
The big change I've just made involves a song my protagonist was singing. In the original draft, it was Nirvana's "About a Girl" but I felt as I was reviewing the script that it was too obvious and way too famous. I was really unsure until just a few minutes ago when I was re-editing my old review of Saved! that I got an idea. I kept thinking of obscure songs for my character to sing quietly to but in the end. I went for a personal favorite instead in Massive Attack's "Protection". Reading the lyrics, I felt the song made more sense to what my character is going through.
I hope to have it done by the end of the month for its official first draft as I don't think there will be many changes unless I decide to do a second draft.
Last night, I started to look over into my script and just now, made a few changes to the dialogue for some the early portions of the script. Among the changes I'm making involves music. Some of the dialogue I had written has lyrics being sung but I'm currently looking into other options because if I ever get a chance to make this film with a small budget. I need to think more outside of the box because there's certain pieces of music that can't be used because of how expensive the rights are. There's a couple of famous acts I'm keeping but other than that, it's going to be mostly obscure stuff, though it would be obscure from a mainstream perspective.
I hope to have it done by mid-November as I've already got a title for one of the new projects I'm working on that is called The Night Escort which is still in its outline stage. Once the outline is finished, I'll post something about that project soon.
From around 4PM today to 9:54 PM, I wrote the ninth and final chapter of my script. I'm surprised that I decided to work on it today and just write it with a few breaks in between. It's a big surprise as I've found inspiration in a few things including the Talk Talk song "I Believe in You" as I've been really getting into the band's music of late.
Well, now that it's sort of done. All there is for me to do is to assemble it, do some re-writes, and edits to make it into a full-fledge script which I think I will do in a week or two.
Meanwhile, there's also been some additional ideas in the works that I've been inspired by ever since watching Drive last Saturday.
I've already a third of an outline for a project about a lonely high-class American escort living in Prague.
It's going to be part of a trilogy that I call the Lonely American Women Trilogy in reference to Paul Schrader's Lonely Man trilogy of films such as Taxi Driver (which he wrote), American Gigolo, and Light Sleeper. With this trilogy, it's focused on three different women in different parts of the world as they each go through their own emotional and existential crisis in their lives.
I plan to do that once the first or second draft of Ugly is completed as I will post again once I get started on assembling the first draft.
Update: 2:11 AM
Out of just pure boredom. I copied all of the material I wrote into one entire document as part of my assembly work as I have a total of 39 pages of material. For now, I won't do anything until I feel ready to look over for re-writes and edits.
For anyone that is reading this, thank you.
Just started writing the first page of the eighth chapter as I've written a few scenes leading to a couple of big moments that's going to happen. I know it's been nearly a couple of weeks since my last entry as I've been trying to figure out a schedule for the new films that are coming out as well as the varied projects I'm working on. I'll post when this chapter will be finished which is likely to be completed within the week.
It's going better than I expected as there's more of a center as it all revolves around my protagonist. I'll probably start work on the eighth chapter sometime this coming weekend or the week ahead.
I'm leaning towards an October release for the official first draft.
As of 2:30 AM, I've just completed nearly three pages worth of material to start the third act that has a mixture of dialogue as well as a key character that would play a role into the mind of its protagonist. I'm surprised that I managed to get some stuff written for now. I just hope to have it done this week.
As of 2:30 AM, I just finished the 2nd act with great ease as I've finished writing an intense yet erotic sex scene to finish the sixth chapter of my script. Only three more chapters to go. That didn't really take very long. Hopefully, I can get around to start work on the seventh act in the coming days.

I hit black ice today
, 12-11-2007 at 01:28 PM
So I was supposed to pick up my parents from the airport today. I shoveled my driveway, salted it, whole nine yards. My plan was I was going to loop around the block and then take the main highway out (not the short cut through 3 streets and then hit the main highway. The short cut gets icy.) I was going to loop around my block because I couldn't figure out how to get my car out of the driveway and then turn it 180. I saw ice I was good. Then there was a little hilly area and it was shaded and I hit a chunk of black ice. I have mud tires, I had it in all wheel drive, and my back skidded. I luckily hit a snow berm on the hill part (so no drop!). I froze. I didn't know which way to go what to do. I just... and I know that's bad to do but... I've never felt that before! So I parked my car had a melt down in a neighbor's driveway. Drove super slow to my neighbors'/friends house and we decided to get a shuttle to pick my parents up. Then there was drama getting the message to my folks, but now they're on the shuttle home. It's like 29 degrees here. I am freaked. My car is at my neighbors house (which is about a half mile from my house) and we were walking to my house and she was pointing out "there's black ice.... there's black ice...." it's everywhere and near her house (which is why I stopped and said "no airport!") it was solid ice and it curved to a downward hill/ditch. I am totally shaken though. I hate this! My fingers are still cold from digging my car out! And that was at 9:15-10am ish.

where can i buy a fuel gauge from?americanbulldog 07-15-2006, 04:55 AM my friend has a 1991 legacy l wagon 4 wheel drive auto trans,and her gas gauge is broke, so she cant tell when she is ok on gas or if she is low.so she keeps have to put gas in just to make sure she wont run out,so i was wondering if there is a site where she can get the gas/fuel gauge from,or even the whole cluster if she has to. thanks freakray 07-15-2006, 09:22 AM Contact Jamie at http://www.subarugenuineparts.com I am sure she will be able to help you. Alternatively, you may have to try a few junk yards to see if you can get a functional used one. StNicholas 07-16-2006, 01:02 PM Is it the gauge in the dash or the sending unit in the tank? Could be the wiring in between. If you want to buy used parts, try: www.car-part.com If you're not sure it is the gauge, I'd recommend the sending unit as the culprit. The sending unit should have a resistor that changes in accordance to how much fuel is in the tank. Removal, inspection and testing should be fairly easy with a multimeter in resistance mode. From the electrical diagram: Sending unit shows three wires: a red/white for the low fuel light, a black wire to ground, and a brown/yellow wire that should go to the dash gauge.

December 21, 2013 - I love these slippers!!! They're totally comfy! I'm wearing them now! I wear them all the time when I'm at home! My cat likes to rub against them, too!
December 19, 2013 - The stitching came loose from the sole in less than a week. These slippers are very poorly made and will not last more than a week.
November 15, 2013 - Love these. Have worn inside and outside; the rubber sole allows me. Have been wet numerous times and still holding together. Warm and Fuzzy.

Let's Talk
Press or Marketing email@example.com

Any artist worth their latest record will tell you that the most gratifying part of being a musician is touching the lives of others. When we submitted for the DoSomething.Org 2011 Battle for the Bands, it wasn't just because we are passionate about music education, it's because we believe in the power of giving and the impact of an important message.
In 2007, I was among 5 winners in a hip hop songwriting contest hosted by Berklee College of Music, where I spent time studying, and Essence Magazine. The "Take Back the Music" initiative provided young MCs, such as myself, an opportunity to advocate for alternative hip hop. This contest was my first of what turned out to be many submissions to programs and competitions helping young musicians establish a voice of change. When I heard VH1 and DoSomething had teamed up for the second time to "Save the Music", I knew I had to get involved! As a longtime student of hip hop production and jazz history, I will never forget how instrumental music education was and continues to be in my development as person and as an artist. This was an opportunity to acknowledge and help preserve the academic enrichment that changed my life.
Our grand prize "Next Big Thing" music video was a national effort involving many talented individuals from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds. I developed the concept in New York, wrote the song in Silicon Valley, worked with studio engineers in North Carolina on the production and had the video filmed and directed in San Francisco. I featured my favorite group of youth musicians in the Bay Area and worked with the students to arrange scenes and ideas that worked well with the song they inspired. The finished product was tailor-made to the kids' taste and is a vivid representation of the joy that music has brought to their lives and stories.
While the project was an absolute blast, it never really dawned on us that we were competing for a prize. We knew there was a chance we could win our school grant money to support a much needed purchase of youth music equipment, but we entered the contest for the experience. We learned so much about ourselves in the process and we were able to show so many kids and parents that music is an agent of change and a catalyst for expression and creativity. To our surprise, we were awarded first place and humbly accepted the $5,000 in support, which helped us purchase new drums and instruments for our classrooms at CASA. We received an invitation to showcase our piece with the Plain White Ts in NYC, which to this day was one of the most rewarding performances of my career.
DoSomething.Org and VH1 Save the Music provided us an opportunity to remind students, teachers and parents alike that music education can change lives. We are forever thankful to these noble organizations for the work they are doing to save the music and light the world on fire through self-expression.

Combine Trips -
Combining multiple errands reduces driving costs, saves you time, and reduces vehicle emissions. Plan ahead and save.
Adopt a Vehicle Anti-Idling Policy -
Vehicle idling gets zero miles per gallon, thereby wasting fuel and creating unnecessary pollution. Running an engine at low speed (idling) also causes twice the wear on internal parts compared to driving at regular speeds. If you anticipate being idle for more than 30 seconds, then it is more fuel efficient to turn the car off than to let it idle. When it is safe to do so, turn your ignition off to prevent excessive idling.

I had no idea there was a radio station, so here I am. Thanks for having me.
I have traveled many places around the world: Canada, US, Europe, South American and Australia, just to mention a few. One thing I've realized is that it is best to ask the locals where to best places are to see. Usually they're off the beaten path. I have found some great deal at honolulu hotels and at puerto vallarta hotels. Message me if you have any questions...thanks

Project by FloridaArt | posted 334 days ago | 752 views | 3 times favorited | 10 comments |
March, 2013 – I'm not sure what kind of wood this is. It might be Norfolk Island Pine. We got it from a tree that had been cut down. The first tool I used was a chain saw!
Has multiple coats of water-based poly satin, brushed on. On this one I decided to put holes in the back to push out the drawers, rather than mar the beauty of the front with knobs. The Ajax can shown for scale.

The New York Times has a wonderful article about Michael Emerson and his wife, Carrie Preston. Here it is for your enjoyment:
A Farmer's Breakfast, and Then a Wander
The actor Michael Emerson, 59, of "Person of Interest," and his wife, the actress Carrie Preston, 46, of "True Blood" and "The Good Wife." Credit Dave Sanders for The New York Times |
When the actor Michael Emerson, 59, walks around Manhattan, it's not unusual for people to stop him and ask if he'll pose for a picture. The television shows "Lost" and, currently, "Person of Interest" have made his spiky hair, thick-rimmed glasses and long sideburns a giveaway. He takes it in stride, even on Sunday, which he designates a day of leisure, reserved for meandering, cultural events and time with his wife, the actress Carrie Preston, 46 — who herself is recognized for her roles in "True Blood" and "The Good Wife" — and her extended family. The couple live with their rescue dog, Chumley, 4, near Columbus Circle.
HELLO, SUNSHINE Sunday is the most domestic day of the week. It's the day when I feel the least pressure to get anything done. We get up fairly late, I suppose, around 9 o'clock. We throw open the shades that make the room dark and we make the bed. We're like a synchronized team. We each have a shade to raise.
SQUARE MEAL Then we divide forces. Carrie gives Chumley his morning walk and I prepare the breakfast. Frankly, she's sharper in the morning and I'm probably the better cook, so it makes sense. Plus, that relieves her of having to do the late-night walk, which is maybe a little more sinister. I make kind of a heavy, farmer's, protein breakfast. Bacon and eggs, that kind of thing. She used to join me in that, but lately she's making these green smoothies.
Mr. Emerson cooking bacon and eggs for a Sunday breakfast at his Manhattan apartment. Credit Dave Sanders for The New York Times |
READING AND WRITING Then we take care of the paperwork, or I should say the electronic work. I may read the paper for a bit while she starts on the computer. Then I'll join her and I'll get my laptop out and try to answer correspondence and get a handle on the week to come.
SHIFT GEARS Around noon, we're still in our jammies, and that seems wrong somehow, so we need to get crackin' and someone needs to shower first and then we get out of the house. She usually has more organized activities than I: a get-together with lady friends, or a rehearsal or a reading, or a meeting about one of her many film or TV projects. I dawdle longer.
Mr. Emerson and Ms. Preston are often recognized by fans of their shows. Credit Dave Sanders for The New York Times |
MAN ABOUT TOWN If the weather's fair, I like to take Chumley to Central Park and just walk around, do a bit of promenading with him. I dress more formally than a lot of the other boys do. If I'm going to be out and about on the town, I will generally wear a tie and a vest. Not necessarily a jacket.
FANS APPROACH I get recognized. It happens regularly, by two sets of fans: younger people who are fans of "Lost" and older people, oftentimes their parents, who are fans of "Person of Interest." But now, I think the balance has shifted. Carrie's so present on so many shows, with her vivid red hair, that people pick her out. Now I'm the one that people, they say, "Excuse me, could you take our picture?
Mr. Emerson exploring the "Out of Hand" exhibit |
POSSIBLE DETOUR My default mode is to wander. But if I see an interesting little show or some kind of artwork or some kind of play, I may go to see that as well. I went recently to see a show of Czechoslovakian pop-up books. It was at the Grolier Club. There's all kinds of funny little exhibition and gallery spaces around this town.
VISITING Sunday is, more often than not, family dinner night. So we go to the in-laws, who have kids, and we'll either order in or somebody will cook. We pick up the peripheral goods on our stroll down Ninth Avenue. You know, baguettes and beer and red wine, and whatever is required.
WHO'S ON TV? We'll watch some TV event. It could be a show that either Carrie or I have a role in that everyone hasn't seen already. Often it'll be "The Good Wife," which is on Sunday nights anyway. If Carrie's on, we definitely make time for that. Or everybody will watch that week's "Person of Interest." There's a lot of hooting and laughing and snide comments. And we get to do the behind-the-scenes commentary.
FIRST TO BED It grieves me on Sundays to have to cut family night short, because it's one of the chief pleasures of the week. But I have just never adjusted to the early mornings of the TV world. If I have to be in bed at 9, that's just too grim. It's too grim to go down and have a bite to eat and then go to bed before the schoolchildren.
SUNDAY NIGHT BLUES I still get the old, childhood, Sunday night feeling. The end of playtime and the beginning of responsibility comes over you. The Sunday night blues. It never goes away. I'll take a Benadryl maybe. A Benadryl and a dull book.
Larger versions of the photos featured in this article are available here.
Michael Emerson revealed in his newest interview in The Loop, Canada's TVGuide, that he will NOT be attending the LOST Reunion scheduled this September in 2014. He claims that to be very involved with his CBS hit (Person of Interest) to have time to make the event. This new information will sadden a lot fans who have booked or are thinking of booking their lodgings for that event. Here's the article for your reading information:
While Tuesday's episode of Person of Interest ("Last Call")–the first one back after the Olympics hiatus–appears to centre mainly on Finch (Michael Emerson) and his efforts to go undercover as a 911 operator, don't expect a reappearance from the love of his Finch's life, Grace (Carrie Preston, True Blood). Not yet at least.At a recent junket for Person of Interest and a number of other Warner Bros. shows, Emerson told TV Guide Canada that it's entirely possible for a Grace/Finch reunion in the future. In fact, he said, it seems inevitable
"Certainly the Harold and Grace storyline is not over," Emerson said without hesitation when asked about Preston's future with the show.
"It's a question of scheduling," he added. "[Preston's] day job is True Blood for HBO. They need her attention and her services probably most of the time. But some day that show will be over and maybe she will be more available…"
As POI fans will recall, Preston was last seen in the November 2013 episode "God Mode." At this moment in time, Grace assumes that her former fiancé, Finch, is dead, with him having previously faked his death to protect her from the dangers that come with knowing about The Machine. If Preston were to appear in a future episode, Grace would either have to learn that he's actually alive, or simply be seen in flashbacks.
At this moment, Preston is busy playing Arlene Bellefleur on the set of True Blood. She's also done a number of cameo spots this year, appearing on recent episodes of The Following and The Good Wife. Her schedule should open up a bit by the end of this season, however, seeing as her Following arc wrapped nearly as soon as it begun, and The Good Wife is prepping to finale in the spring. Plus, as Emerson previously alluded to, True Blood has announced that this will be its final season.
While his wife is shooting various shows, Emerson remains tied up with everything POI. He's so involved in the CBS hit, in fact, that it looks like he won't be able to make another much-awaited reunion–the Lost 10-year reunion–happen.
"I would love to be there, but I can tell you right now that's it's not going to work out," Emerson, who played Ben Linus on Lost, told the journalists attending the New York junket with regards to appearing at a previously scheduled Paleyfest-hosted commemorative event. "It's in March, I think, and I will be here shooting."
When it comes down to it, it sounds like he's a one-show, and one-woman, man.
The photo gallery has 3 new photos of Michael Emerson, Carrie Preston, and Chumley. Here are the teasers:
Larger versions are available here. Enjoy!
Michel Emerson was scheduled for an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit. He was asked 536 questions—yours truly asked one of them, but alas, my question was not picked by him—and he answered quite a few of them.
I will post all the questions and answers in this blog in a few days. (I want to differentiate the font to make Michael's answers easier to read. But till then, you are welcome to view it here. Just be forewarned that not all questions and answers are available at that site.
Great news for Michael Emerson fans, especially fans who'd like to communicate with him online. Michael Emerson will be doing an "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) on reddit>" this Monday (February 24, 2014) at 5:30pm EST! So gather your questions and either click on the reddit link or click on this graphic and you will be directed to the right place.
Then, after you had your questions answered, CBS will have a live chat with Michael Emerson on Tuesday (February 25, 2014) at 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT. Click on the graphic to be directed to the right place. Have fun and good luck, everyone.
I guess there's nothing more exhilarating to a fan than to accidentally bump into his or her favorite celebrity. Natalie Weiss, who, according to her website is a singer, an actress, a teacher, and a riffer (def.—in popular music and jazz—a short repeated phrase, frequently played over changing chords or harmonies or used as a background to a solo improvisation)(watch her videos on riffing here) was lucky enough to be in the same restaurant as Michael Emerson, and the rest is Twitter history:
This is her next tweet:
And here's that coveted photo:

FDI, Opposition & Déjà Vu
If you have a nose for political seasons, it is unlikely you'd miss the shrill similarity between the present debate on foreign investment in retail and the build-up to the 2008-09 vote of confidence over the Indo-US nuclear deal.
Of course, the striking disconnect between the thenprophesied doom for the first Manmohan Singh regime and eventual UPA victory in May 2009 defined any subsequent review of the intense build-up as either comic or tragic, depending which way you looked at it.
So, what makes one recall the 2008-09 build-up in the ongoing war cries against the UPA-II, which many do not grant even a chance to live out its lifespan till 2014? How can one miss the similarities in the showcased script, plots and hopes beneath the present build-up!
As Parliament begins the debate on FDI, TV screens are already on a high with those graphics and screaming pundits, projecting a nail-biting finale and posing that seductive question, "Will the UPAII fall in the FDI battle?" We saw much the same, back in 2008 too, when the UPA-I bit the Left bullet and sought a trust-vote on Indo-US civil nuclear deal against a united, combative Opposition.
That time, when the Left and the Right fought a 'nationalist' war on the N-deal, there was also another issue that had been secretly bothering the UPA's rivals: the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, implemented through an Act, NREGA, that the UPA-I had launched as its flagship social sector scheme, hoping to ride its electoral winds.
This time around, too, as the Redsaluting Communists and khaki-knickered Nationalists wage a "Banish FDI, Save India" war, there is no prize for guessing that their inner thoughts worry over the potential impact of yet another UPA launch: the direct cash transfer scheme.
In short, even as it was being pilloried as pro-imperialist, for inking the N-deal, the first Manmohan Singh government was also busy implementing India's largest, and by now most appreciated (by the poor), welfare scheme since the launch of economic reforms in 1991.
Four years on, as "the combined Opposition" is again out to finish it off for "selling out India's interests" by clearing FDI, the second Manmohan regime is, again, in the middle of giving an ambitious technological push to India's pro-poor schemes to make their delivery fast and accurate! When any ruling dispensation artistically plays with such contrasting colours — imperialist blue and welfarist red — on the national canvas, the test is on the Opposition to show skills to intelligently tap the popular response so that it does not appear either colour-blind or just plain blind.
Yet, the BJPLeft's anti-FDI and anti-cash transfer tango has chosen to do exactly the same, ironically — as a repeat performance. Even a child knows the BJP's political DNA is more Right and Capitalist (Hindutva-capitalists, if you like) than of any other Indian party and, therefore, it, by its true instincts, would have taken to FDI like a fish to water, just as it would have loved to implement the Indo-US Ndeal on a grander scale.
No wonder the BJP's anti-FDI stand smacks of downright dishonesty as its opposition to the N-deal had. Any reader of the BJP's 2009 poll manifesto recipe for making welfare schemes effective would also laugh at its opposition to cash transfer scheme as a display of envy over "the missed chance".
Going by its ideological and social grain, the Communists should have cheered the NREGA, just as it should rally for effective implementation of the cash transfer scheme.
Similarly, the Communists went out to fight the N-deal, only to realise the disconnect between armchair theoreticians and its foot-soldiers' priorities. At a time when 'the Left vanguard' should have been busy fighting its real wars — preventing Mamata Banerjee from hijacking even its slogans and social base, ending the bullfight in its Kerala unit, digesting the newly-delivered world view from Beijing and, of course, reclaiming the JNU revolutionaries — alas, it is back to brewing a self-numbing ideological cocktail with BJP!
When parties go against their political or ideological moorings, people dump them as opportunists and obstructionists. The NREGA-bashing ultra-reform pundits too met the same fate.
While not hazarding a guess on the FDI voting outcome, one may merely recall how no Congress government, be its composition single-party, coalition or minority, has ever, so far, been ambushed on the floor of Parliament.
And if that history repeats itself, emboldened Congress managers are bound to go all out on their future tasks: an election Budget, controlling inflation, reworking 'LPG formula', firming up the Right to Food plank and pre-poll repairing of Congress state units and reworking alliances from Bihar to Tamil Nadu. The BJP too, meanwhile, will prepare for a critical task: its dream project(Opposition unity)'s tryst with 'Modi fire' from December 20.

The most important difference between the UPA I and II votes is that the govt.became a minority and sought help from SP which then splintered.The resulting fall out in the form of cash for votes scam operated by Amar Singh remains,to date,one of the most shameful incidents in recent history.In this vote,the SP has walked out en masse,UPA II is not in a minority for the purposes of governance and nobody from among their friends is going out to buy votes
for the rulers.
The difference is basic to our Parliamentary democracy.
There must be some fire behind the smoke. I would like to believe the matured opposers are not opposing FDI just because they want to oppose Government. Why should MNCs watch what is being opposed. In the interest of democracy, these MNCs need to show that they are here for business and to contribute to the society they are operating in unlike East India Company of yester years. MNCs need to come out with statements and projects to show that they care for the land they are in (people, society, environment, natural resources). Government and opposition should check on the otherhand the monies that are crossing the border and the timing of such transfers by the MNCs. All the MNCs should be allowed to be listed in this country so that the nationals can participate in the growth of that MNC if they want to. Or government should create other methods of making MNCs responsible and accountable for the country and its people. Comapnies like GE, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo do provide employment here but are not listed like in their parent counties. All the furore happening now should lead to some concrete measures from government.

Pad Thai Cafe's menu of popular Asian plates and authentic Thai cuisine crafted with fresh, delectable ingredients heeds the call of grumbling bellies with delectable dishes. Rice noodles, peanuts, sprouts, scallions, egg, and garlic tango in the pad thai dish, and chili, garlic, jalapeño, basil, egg, and scallion congregate for a savory conference in the spicy basil Thai-fried rice ($8.50–$16 depending on choice of protein). Order an appetizer, such as the crab rangoon ($5 for six pieces), house fresh spring rolls ($4.50 for two), or fried spring rolls ($3 for two), and nibble on tasty bites instead of chewed-up pen caps. Stop by the café to sate a midday craving or eschew afternoon soap-opera viewings to enjoy a lunch special such as the kung pao chicken, a spicy mélange of chili, nuts, baby corn, and chicken ($5.95).
Capital Asian Buffet strives to make meals as interactive as possible for all of its diners. The buffet's steaming aisles brim with dishes from a menu of more than 140 different Chinese and Japanese staples, allowing guests to load their plates with shredded pork in fiery garlic sauce or sautéed string beans. Before any ingredients even see a stovetop, diners can also design an entree by picking out meats, vegetables, and sauces, and then watching as the chefs wok-fry the personalized order over a roaring bonfire of cookbooks.
Head chef and owner Arnold Myint applies his culinary aptitude at Suzy Wong's House of Yum by crafting flavorful Asian appetizers and bowls designed for sharing. As groups swap bites of pineapple red curry shrimp or wonton nachos in a 1,100-square-foot dining room, a stretched canvas emblazoned with a colorful dragon hovers overhead, much like a knight-in-training's to-slay list. Exposed brick walls provide a backdrop for plush candlelit benches and tables, which can be crowded with wine, sake, and specialty cocktails as diners participate in weekly karaoke nights. Two patios provide even more space for cavorting, the lower tier stretches across 300 square feet, and the upper level commands 840 square feet of floor space.

The latest scare of the salmonella infestation in our tomatoes has prompted renewed discussion about the food we choose to eat.
Mad Cow disease, e-coli sprouts, tainted spinach, suspicious chickens and more, have us all guessing about our family menu choices.
All the food safety bad news has provided an extra push for the buy local movement.
There has been a popular growth in farmers market in many parts of the world. In the U.S. local farmers markets has grown from over 17 hundred in 1994 to nearly 45 hundred in 2006.
Today some urban farmers markets are big business, attracting large weekend crowds on a market day. But if you look closely not all the vendors are local farmers. That orange sweet pepper you are buying could easily come from the same supplier that services the Safeway down the block.
The main impetus for customers of local markets is a concern about the freshness of their purchases; food safety is only just now becoming an increasing worry.
Another aspect of weekend farmers market shopping is social, returning to the days when you knew that the person selling you food was also involved in its production.
Those days were almost lost, particularly in North America where local farmers were pressured by the agribusiness mantra, Larger is Better.
The result was local communities began to shrink, their young people fleeing in search of more in larger centers, the core of local farm production dwindled. Farmers became one crop specialists disconnected from their own local community.
As specialization became the norm, one crop same crop, even rural residents were forced to drive to supermarkets (Large) to buy eggs that their neighbors used to deliver (Better?)
Agribusiness wasn't the only culprit in the demise of the local farm. Other influences were drawing away the younger members of the community, electrical power, the telephone, cars and television were a siren song towards something better.
What was almost lost in the process was farming skill sets.
But local farming is experiencing a comeback due in part to nearby urban markets with a sufficiently large customer base to revisit the economics of multi crop farming.
Farmers markets represent a renewal of when farming for local consumption was a cornerstone of local communities and economies, when farm skills were admired.
Returning to the past method of local food distribution isn't necessarily the whole answer.
Critics will argue that focusing on the local food production impacts on the economies of the third world which heavily rely on food exports and cash crops.
People who are passionate about buying local often point out that they are reducing the carbon foot print because their food isn't being flown in from distant farms.
But one needs to take into account how food is being produced in those distant lands.
An often cited example is tomatoes in Europe. Is it more environmentally efficient to produce a tomato grown in Spanish field and then ship it by air to an English market? The same tomatoes could have been grown in English greenhouses which would require more energy to light and heat them at a cost much higher than the air fare.
Until English farmers adopt low energy sources such as solar, geo thermal or wind the environmentally friendly tomato is a Spanish one.
This is the balance that needs to be equated by governments, farmers and consumers. How can one service and serve the local market by supporting the local producer while still enjoying the benefits of having asparagus and kiwi fruit available year round?
For practicalists part of the answer lies in polyculture, the scientific term for an old habit, agricultural imagination.
Today's agricultural world is basically a monoculture one, a child of globalization. Grow one crop, treat your fields with agricultural steroids and insecticides and hope for the best.
Multiple cropping (polyculture) allows farmers to diversity their crops to need local food demand. That diversification allows makes it easier for them to farm in a more sustainable way. There is less reliance on pesticides, imported food sources such as Soya for animals and the use of farm waste for fertilizer.
Locally grown produce can not provide all the fruits and vegetables that we have become accustomed to for 12 months of the year. The need to create a balance between what we import and what we can access locally needs to be improved which is a process that requires both consumer and governmental support and initiative.
The recent health scare involving tomatoes is reflective of what seems to be commonplace. Food safety demands that we gain more control over our produce.

Nelson's Buffeteria was a downtown Tulsa breakfast and lunchtime landmark. It closed almost ten years ago, but reopened on South Memorial in January.
The family wants to hang the old Buffeteria sign at the new place - but that's turning out to be quite a chore.
Matt Johnson is bending some glass for a sign at Acura Neon. He's got his work cut out for him over the next few weeks.
Acura is renovating the old Nelson's Buffeteria sign, and it's gonna be a project.
"First of all there's old paint, there's old neon and there's old electrical," said Peter Janzen of Acura Neon.
So basically they'll be starting over almost from scratch.
"We'll be rewiring it and doing all new neon," Janzen said.
They'll re-do the paint too. The sign is part of Tulsa's downtown restaurant history. It hung out front of the Buffeteria on South Boston for decades. They celebrated their 70th anniversary in 1999.
The Buffeteria closed in December of 2003 and the sign was taken down the following summer. Since then it's been in storage.
When the family decided to open a new Nelson's Buffeteria out on south memorial they naturally wanted the old sign, but -
"This sign is non-compliant with the current City of Tulsa code," Janzen said.
They could have created something new in the old design with modern LED lights, but -
"There's something magical about neon," he said.
So, they went to the city with a request for an exception. That's been approved, so now they can get to work on paint and the wiring. Matt Johnson can begin to bending glass for the sign.
"Our goal is to do as little as possible," Janzen said.
They want to make it look original. So the new place at 44th and Memorial will have a bit of the old place.
The restaurant, near 44th and Memorial, is open Monday through Saturday for breakfast and lunch.
And, so you won't be confused, Nelson's Ranch House on Third Street is part of the family too.
