A: Hazy golden orange with a bright white head.
S: Citrusy spice, very appealing. Almost witbeer like, not as funked as other saisons.
T: The funk comes through a little more in the taste, where it covers up the spices. Very accessible, but less than interesting.
M: Creamy, very smooth, nice, but could be finer.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #55 (August 2011):
Clear, bubbly golden color. Smells of medicinal herbs, chai tea, fresh-cut hay, exotic fruit and chalky yeast. Smooth malty body. Dry maltiness, grainy but clean with overtones of dry biscuits. Hint of honey beneath the bitter phenols and hops. Some ripe fruit and spice in the back with a surprisingly expressive estery alcohol for its size. Certainly more in your face compared to many of the traditional restrained, yet still intricate, Saisons from Belgium and France.

A - Pours clear golden honey color with a massive three fingers of dense white head. Head leaves great lacing.
S - Some pepper and a hint of lemon. Slight amount of funk. Something seems off here, but I can't quite place what the off notes are.
T - Similar taste as smell, though there is also a noticeable bitterness. Really doesn't taste like a saison, nor does it taste very good. Dry and bitter. Was expecting more.
M - Medium mouhfeel with a sharp bitterness.
O - This is dissapointing. I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for Summit as one of the breweries that got me into craft beer when I lived in MN, but this is unfortunately not a very good or memorable beer.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Tulip. Bottled on July 12, 2011 (day 193 of the Julian calendar).
Appearance: Hazy burnished gold with moderate fluffy white head.
Smell: Very fruity and citrusy (tart grapefruit, lemon, apple) with nice notes of bread and honey. Not quite the aroma I expected, with almost a Lagunitas IPA quality to it.
Taste: Strong malt backbone of bread and cracker, but the hops really shine, with grapefruit and lemon taking center stage. Toward the end, it becomes more floral and spicy with some nice cracked pepper lingering. A lot hoppier than I expected.
Feel: Moderately high carbonation, light body (probably made even lighter by the honey). Finish is somewhat dry and tart.
Overall: Very refreshing. Not really a traditional Saison (especially with the Nelson Sauvin hops), but nice stuff.

4.45/5 rDev +25.7%
Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass.
Appearance: Bright and deep golden orange with lots of rising bubbles. Big three and a half finger white head with great retention and lots of lacing.
Smell: Aroma is very fruity with orange, grapefruit, apple, and lemon giving a strong presence of citrus. Yeast and bready malts form the backbone. Hints of honey, pepper, and other spices. A very interesting aroma.
Taste: Tastes like it smells with more bitterness. Bready malts and yeast with a big kick of citrus and other fruits. Grapefruit, orange, apple, and lemon. Strong hints of honey and pepper throughout. Light hints of banana and clove. Has enough hoppy bitterness to balance the fruits nicely. A very good and unique taste.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Creamy and smooth.
Overall: Another great brew from Summit's Unchained series. A very tasty and creative beer. Far from your typical Saison.

3.68/5 rDev +4%
Hazy goldenrod bodied with a good-sized stack of white suds that gradually retreat towards the surface leaving a good deal of lace.
Black pepper and lemongrass aroma, backed with sourdough, Pinot Gris, bitter herbs, and a stunted note of honey sweetness.
It enters the mouth with a doughy, generally non-descript breadiness, inching towards white toast. Lemon and apple fruitiness ensues, bringing it sweeter, as notions of yellow cupcake mix follow. A flash of sweet then dry honey precedes the yeast, which itself brings concrete, chalkdust, and black pepper. Hopping is thoroughly dry and earthy, conjoining the peppery yeast traits, and adding flashes of lemongrass and dried, bitter herbs.
Lively carbonation, taut feeling, though it sags and fizzles some as it rests in the glass. The body is just a notch below medium. It's dry and slaking enough to ensure drinkability.
I'm split on this. Initially, I didn't much care for it, as it seemed all too much like so many featureless Wheat Ales. Now, each time I have it, I tease out more Saison traits, and I dig it more and more. It's no world-beater, but it has it's charms.

3.18/5 rDev -10.2%
Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle into a standard pint glass.
Appearance: Slightly hazy deep golden color with a two finger white head that left a little lacing as it receded.
Smell: Sweet with floral hops. Doesn't smell like a typical Saison style. This smells hoppier and maltier that the usual Saisons, with no hint of phenols from yeast.
Taste: This is an odd tasting Saison. It's more dry and hopped than I was expecting. I was also looking for more sweetness from the honey, but there really wasn't much honey sweetness there. Also very little, if any, yeast flavor or phenols to this at all. It's less like a Farmhouse Saison and more like a hoppy wheat beer or slightly sweeter Pale Ale. The hops bitterness overpowers almost everything else, and it's an odd hopping. Not at all what I was looking forward to with this beer. It's not bad, but it's nothing special either.
Mouth feel: Dry, crisp and a bitter finish on the tongue. Light to medium body. Heavily carbonated.
Drinkability: Well, not what I really wanted from the style, and not something I would session with. It's not a bad beer, but there are better Saison's out there, and there are many better beers in general. So, this beer was a bit disappointing for me (especially given the higher standards I expect from Summit). I would not buy this one again.

Grabbed one of the few bottles at Abe's Cold Beer. From the start it reminds me of Southampton's Cuvee des Fleurs for the soft, candied floral character. It finishes with a rough, dry hops kick, also a little too tannic/tart. I'm not picking up any of the honey, but I like the Belgian yeast character, but the finish is a little off. Worth a try if you find one.

2.45/5 rDev -30.8%
Poured a great dark coppery orange, very clean with just a touch of haze, giant thick and fluffy off white head, very sticky with nice lacing.
The smell is not so good, very metallicy, possibly oxidized. A little bit of Belgian spice manages to get through the big tinny smell.
The flavor is flat with a dry crackery malt flavor, the tinny metallic quality is very apparent here as well, just a very minor smidge of Belgian yeast spices manages to make it through the weird malt flavors, just a hint of juniper and pine hops in the finish along with a strange medicinal flavor.
The mouthfeel is light and very dry.
A very poor Saison, seems to lack all the usual saison and farmhouse funkyness. Hopefully this is just an off bottle, if not I would take this back to the drawing board.

3.05/5 rDev -13.8%
Clear amber color with half inch of head that quickly settled to a thin film. Just small bits of lacing is left on the glass.
Phenolic and hoppy aroma. Not really what I look for in a Saison. Some honey is detected.
Looking at the hop bill of Crystal, Liberty, Mt. Hood, and Nelson Sauvin, and 40 IBUs, I have to ask why? The hops just do not mesh with the yeast and malt. Very dry. Reminds me a lot of Schell's attempt at a Saison. Searching hard for something I like in the flavor.
Seems a bit undercarbonated. Light to medium in body.
Even though I did not score the beer harshly, has to be the most disappointed Unchained beer Summit has released. Just another underwhelming, mediocre Saison that has found its way onto store shelves in recent years.

3.43/5 rDev -3.1%
A: Strong visible carbonation presence creates a dark swirling yeasty haze within a dirty pale orange coloring. A mountainous rise of pearl white foam sits steadily in the vessel leaving splotchy deposits of lace.
S: Musky oranges, wheat, and dry wildflowers along with straw are on the nose.
T: For flavor there is honey wheat, herbal dry wildflowers and a dash of dry curaco orange spiciness. Light woodsy and peppery hints. Dry honey sweetness.
M: malty with a good carbonation presence, spicy of dry oranges lie on the tongue afterwards.
O: Overall dry honey sweetness with a dry herbal wildflower spicing. Not as complex as your Belgian examples flavor or aromatic wise.

3.8/5 rDev +7.3%
A-Nice golden color, about a two finger head, well carbonated, decent lacing
S-Belgian yeast, fruity, honey, maybe..a touch of hop
T/M-Sweet honey and a slightly funky yeast. A touch of black pepper toward the finish. Maybe a bit malty for a saison, but certainly interesting. A bit thicker of a mouthfeel, maybe not as crisp as come saisons, but certainly sessionable.
Overall- This was an intersting take on the farmhouse style. I am not as much of a stickler for style like some. Much like the Whole Hog Raspberry Saison, this took some things from the style, added its own things, and created a very drinkable beer. As strange as it seems, I think this would be very good with an herb roasted rotesserie chicken and corn bread.

A: Pours a nice amber color with about an inch and a half of pillow like head that has nice retention. As the head disappears, there is plenty of sticky lacing around the edge of the glass. There is good lacing with this beer. Carbonation bubbles can be seen rising to the top of the beer.
S: Nice citrusy hop bitter aroma, sweet honey comes through. It kind of smells like a sweet lemon.
T: nice fruity flavor, sweet honey also comes out in this beer. The hop bitterness acts to balance
Overall, this is a pretty good beer. I really enjoyed it. As far as rating it as compared to Summit's other unchained beers...this is not one of the best in the series. But still a solid beer.

Diana Pisses Her TightsSeptember 30th, 2010
Diana is a cute brunette teen who loves to be part of the party scene and any chance she gets she drops in on her friends parties. Lucky for Diana she's hotter than hell so she only has to work a couple of nights at a local strip club and she makes enough to support her party life. Diana is always the center of the party and all of her friends know that once she shows up that things are going to get pretty crazy. All of the guys just love seeing Diana showing off in her tight pantyhose and her tight outfits but one day last week when she was on the way to a party she wound up wearing a lot more than that!
As she walked through town to go to her friends party she knew that she was going to have an amazing time but as she got half way to the party she realized that she had to piss desperately. As she took just a few more steps she couldn't help herself and the piss started to flow. At first it just trickled down her legs but soon it became a full blown piss fountain that spurted out of her red nylons!

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
On any given afternoon, Brad Johnston can be found pushing a cart full of groceries to a MainStreet Market customer's car.
He's been doing that, among several other duties, from bagging purchased items to removing the store's trash, for more than 19 years. Customers may well hear Brad say hello to them or turn to talk amongst his many co-workers and friends. They might also see him dash off in the direction of his next task, ready to do whatever may be asked of him.
But one thing no one will ever hear from Brad Johnston is a complaint.
"I always look forward to going out there," said Brad of his multi-faceted job.
An accomplished Special Olympics athlete — with a trophy case stocked full as proof of it — Brad has made a career out of customer service in the Tree City.
But his story is one seen again and again throughout the Decatur County community, a place where many individuals with intellectual and/or physical disabilities have come to thrive.
The month of March celebrated individuals with disabilities across the country via its designation as National Disabilities Awareness Month. But one needn't look far to see the impact of these community members. In fact, the imprint of several hard-working people born with physical or cognitive challenges is as plain to see as Greensburg's famous courthouse tree.
And there's no better place to start than some of the community's schools, which form the proverbial roots of the community.
Carey Crites has been employed in the North Decatur Elementary School cafeteria for a decade and a half. She handles her duties with perpetual zeal, though it's Carey's customers in whom she finds the most delight.
Carey lists meeting the students of NDES as one of her favorite parts of her job, with the time spent with her friends and co-workers coming in a close second. When she's not on the clock, Carey also takes time to volunteer in the NDES library, putting books away.
Soft-spoken and a bit shy, Mike Greer performs many of the same duties as Carey Crites. Mike has worked in the cafeteria of Greensburg Junior High School for about three years now, and he too speaks highly of the young people with whom he interacts on a daily basis. "They're very nice students," Mike said.
It's difficult for Mike to pinpoint exactly what he likes most about his job; he enjoys time spent with his fellow employees and he even took time to compliment his boss. "There are just so many things," Mike said when asked his favorite part of going to work each day. When he's away from his paid position, Mike enjoys volunteering at the Greensburg Community Bread of Life, the local charitable food pantry.
Brian Wolter, who was diagnosed with Down Syndrome soon after his birth 33 years ago, has found work in a place that suits him to a T: Greensburg Community High School.
Working in the lunchroom, Brian is a GCHS graduate who has no qualms about displaying his Pirate pride.
In an interview conducted prior to the GCHS boys basketball team's Class 3A IHSAA championship victory, Brian extolled his love of basketball in any form and mentioned his enjoyment of his volunteer work with Meals on Wheels. Brian keeps busy with church activities and a constant stream of athletic commitments, but still finds time to excel at his job in the school wherein he was once a student.
"I like to see everybody I work with and the people who go to school there," Brian said.
Beyond the community's school systems, people with disabilities have found viable employment at many other locations throughout Decatur County.
Lena Hunter, for instance, has worked in the Greensburg Walmart Super Center's clothing department for about 20 years. Despite the many tasks she's required to accomplish there, Lena remains committed to helping out fellow clients of Decatur Developmental Industries, Inc., the local subsidiary of Developmental Services, Inc. (DSI). Locally, Decatur Industries employees individuals with disabilities in an on-site workshop, but there are many of those clients, such as Lena, whose work extends into the community.
Sisters Jennifer and Jessica Johannigman are well versed in helping out the community. Jessica has worked at Stone's in Millhousen for five years. There, she is employed in the kitchen and does a little bit of everything during a typical work day. Outside of work, Jessica enjoys playing volleyball in Special Olympics events.
Jennifer Johannigman has worked at McDonald's for 12 years, spending time at the cash register, assisting customers at the drive-thru and even putting together sandwiches and other items from the restaurant's extensive menu. Jennifer can't claim a single aspect of her job as her favorite, though she specifically mentioned how much she enjoys working with so many different people.
Rachael Padgett is likely familiar to McDonald's customers as well, having held a job there for 10 years. Rachael, along with fellow DSI clients Brian Bokelman, Sheryl Stoneking and Tommy Atkins were not present during a Daily News interview at Decatur Developmental Industries late last month, though their accomplishments among the local workforce are every bit as indelible as those of any others.
Tommy has performed a variety of tasks at Greensburg's Ponderosa for more than two years. Last year, Tommy was honored as President of DSI's local Self-Advocacy Group. Sheryl has worked at Frisch's for four years, while Brian Bokelman has been a part of Goodwill's team of associates for three years.
Brian has a friend at Goodwill, Tom Malone, who works approximately five hours per day, three days a week.
"I usually don't mind how many hours they give me," Brian told the Daily News. "As long as I'm working, that's all that counts."
Tom, a huge fan of the Chicago Cubs, has spent nearly eight years as an employee of Goodwill, helping organize clothing and other items donated to the store. In his downtime, Tom is an avid bowler who is unlikely to settle for a score of under 100, according to his family.
Amy Owens' smile never left her face as she described her work at Chili's. A veteran of more than six years in food preparation, Amy stated she looks forward to each day of work due to the friendships she's established with her co-workers. Amy also enjoys volunteering at Morning Breeze, helping residents there play Bingo.
Jeanie Lynne Roberts, another DSI client and active Special Olympics participant, also assists with Morning Breeze's Bingo games. Jeanie recently began work at Crystal Clear Window Cleaning, and has helped with cleaning projects at City Hall and the Hair Factory, among others.
Ann Smith has worked at Arby's since her graduation from Greensburg Community High School in 2000. Ann enjoys her work in the dining room and especially likes lending a hand to her co-workers, whom she considers her friends. Ann volunteers at DSI and also enjoys bowling, painting and creating latch work.
Ann's close friend, Morgan Hooten, is every bit as excited to talk about her work at Mancino's as she is to actually engage in it. Having been a fixture of the popular local pizza place for five years, Morgan has handled dishes, trash, cash register duties and customer service. Morgan's enthusiasm for her job is equaled only by her love of her volunteer work at Red Brick Preschool. Morgan stated she enjoys reading to and interacting with the children there.
Back at MainStreet Market, Brad Johnston's co-worker, Cindy Roberts, shares many of her duties with him. Cindy has worked at the grocery store for 12 years and often busies herself with customer carryouts, cleaning restrooms or returning shopping carts to the store. No matter the task, it's "all in a day's work" for Cindy, who boasts just as much enthusiasm as Brad and her other friends when they speak of their jobs within the Decatur County community.
And though Brad and Cindy work for an employer that takes its name from a central locale in all communities, individuals with disabilities who have joined the work force have done so in places located essentially everywhere in Decatur County and far beyond.
Decatur Developmental Industries Program Director Jenny Maddux told the Daily News she hopes local businesses who have taken the time to employ and work with individuals with disabilities will also get their due. Those efforts, as indicated by the overwhelmingly prevalent joy exhibited by working individuals with special needs in Decatur County, appear to be paying off.
Many of the men and women who celebrated Disabilities Awareness Month in March did so while contributing valuable work in a wide array of industries.
And their toil appears to be its own reward as those workers strive for brighter futures — both for themselves and for the community they call home.

You would develop and maintain a positive relationship with all segments of the campus community in order to obtain cooperation and support in conducting a successful law enforcement program. Typical activities would include crowd control, foot and mobile patrols, traffic control, and participation in crime prevention and personal protection programs. You would also perform additional duties such as dispatching, procedural follow-through, writing reports, and other duties as required. SUBJECT OF EXAMINATION: There will be a written test which you must pass in order to be considered for appointment. The written test is designed to test for knowledge, skills, and/or abilities in such areas as: 1. Memory for facts and information – These questions test for the ability to remember facts and information presented in written form. You will be given 5 minutes to read and study the information in the Memory Booklet. After the 5-minute period, the Memory Booklet will be taken away. You will then be required to answer question about the material that was presented in the Memory Booklet. 2. Preparing written material in a police setting – These questions test for the ability to prepare the types of reports that police officers write. You will be presented with a page of notes followed by several questions. Each question will consist of four restatements of the information given in the notes. From each set of four, you must choose the version that presents the information most clearly and accurately. 3. Reading, understanding and interpreting written information – These questions test for the ability to read, understand, and interpret the kinds of written information that police officers are required to read during their formal training period and on the job. 4. Applying written information (rules, regulations, policies, procedures, directives, etc.) in police situations – These questions test for the ability to apply written rules in given situations similar to those typically experienced by police officers. The rating key for this examination will be established by the New York State Civil Service Commission prior to the date of the test, upon recommendation of a committee of police experts who will review all the questions for appropriateness and the key answers for correctness. There will be no review of the questions by candidates. The committee was selected with the assistance and endorsement of the Police Conference of New York, Inc., the New York State Association of PBA's, Inc., and the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, Inc.

Everyone's looking at their smart phones. Nobody's watching the world go by. Welcome to modern life. Even if you only half-embrace it, the chances are you will sometimes feel like you are full of toxic waste. But if you are like me, you don't especially like being told so. Constantly. By lifestyle gurus who give you advice you can't use. From decluttering your inbox to detox plans, to this year's fitness fad, piloxing – a mix of Pilates and boxing, apparently – this is the time of year when the health and fitness evangelists are shouting their loudest. And the ones shouting loudest of all at the moment are the bootcamps.
It's as if we are collectively self-flagellating, as if we have all bought into the idea that tough times are ahead and we must be punished for our past sins. Not me. I don't buy it at all and I don't respond well to military discipline. I would rather be soothed and caressed at the Shanti Maurice on the relatively untrammeled southern coast of Mauritius, the Indian Ocean island that Mark Twain once described as the blueprint for heaven.
It is easy to see where he got his words. The 40 minute drive from the airport to the hotel brings to mind his longer description, of a place that is "colour mad" with "green foliage, blue sky, purple shadows on mountains, and golden islands floating in crimson seas." It's rather like driving through the fantasy picture of a chocolate-box manufacturer; a fantasy I'd want to explore more.
For many guests though, Shanti Maurice is not just a place to rest their head each night, it is their destination. It is a former sister property to the Shanti Ananda Himalaya, the award-winning ayurvedic spa in the remote foothills of the Himalayas at Haridwar. Shanti Ananda Maurice (as it used to be called) set store on being less remote than its sister, whose isolation can be as much an obstacle as an attraction. In the Himalayas you are pretty much confined to the property and to spend your time on a rigorous programme of ayurvedic treatments. Mauritius has the added attraction of the beach and a route to escape.
The two hotels parted company in June 2010 when Shanti Maurice left the Ananda brand and relaunched as a destination spa with Nira Resorts, its feet now firmly planted in Mauritian culture. It hasn't, however, left behind its dedication to Ayurveda, the ancient philosophy of wellbeing that originated in India.
To the uninitiated, Ayurveda can sound bewildering and complex. It roughly translates from Sanskrit as the "complete knowledge (veda) for a long life (ayus)" and consists of eight disciplines grounded in the metaphysics of the five elements. Thankfully, for the stressed, in the west we have a bowdlerised version that concentrates on the sensual pleasures of food and massage. And it is this version that Shanti Maurice presents.
Once I'd settled into my villa, one of 61 that splay out across 36 acres of gardens kissed by the ocean and that provide home to an orchestra of frogs, I was whisked off to meet Dr Mane, Shanti's resident ayurvedic guru. Before I left England I had glanced at an ayurvedic recipe book that contained advice such as "never eat cottage cheese between the hours of 3pm and 6pm," so I was wary. But Dr Mane is softly spoken and has a calming demeanour that instantly put me at my ease. His consultation took place in a charming tea pavilion surrounded by lily ponds. Birds sang and flowers blossomed in a colour mad splash that would have tickled Twain.
After Dr Mane had taken my blood pressure, asked me some pertinent questions about my eating habits, exercise regime and general lifestyle and established if there were any areas of particular concern – in my case a tendency to insomnia – he declared me a "kapha" dosha, or type. In ayurvedic medicine there are three doshas – kapha, pitta and vata. Kapha doshas are thought to be easygoing, self-sufficient and with a strong resistance to illness. That was my good news. Less good, however, was the prognosis that I have a sluggish digestion, a tendency to put on weight and a slow metabolism.
It's hard to argue with a 5,000-year old philosophy, but the cottage cheese story had made me mindful it's not impossible. I couldn't argue with Dr Mane's diagnosis, however, even if I'd hoped to kick-start my metabolism back to the days when I could walk up a mountain without pausing for breath.
Perhaps it's my easygoing nature that led me to casually shrug off the news that I would never have a fast metabolism and could do with some work on my breathing, the latter easily attended to with a few sessions of Hatha Yoga and meditation. But I'm more inclined to attribute it to the surroundings. Everything about Shanti Maurice is designed to turn down the dial on your life, from the rustic barefoot dining encouraged at the hotel's beach-side Fish and Rhum Shack, to the cool, crisp design of every villa using local lava stone, granite and hardwoods. I did secretly wonder, though, if it didn't challenge those excitable vatas and impatient pitta types.
Dr Mane's diagnoses are handed to the kitchen so that they can prepare meals to suit each guest, though you are by no means forced to stick to your dosha and the cuisine is much less about denial than balance. Executive chef Willibald Reinbacher is probably a vata dosha, energetic and highly imaginative. He dashes between the kitchen and the herb garden he has nurtured from the volcanic earth, playing with local Creole traditions and Cape cuisine, creating exotic curries flavoured with cardamom and simple dishes such as freshly caught snapper served in a simple miso broth.
Then there are the massage treatments. My own favourite was the Abhyanga Massage administered by two male therapists who basted me in aromatic oils in a sychronised choreography of gentle, yet firm strokes. Whether you believe it is beneficial to your health or not, it certainly felt good. There are more hardcore therapies available – such as Gandusa which involves the retention of medicated oils in the mouth and is said to be good for bad breath; or Sneha Vasti, an oil enema – but the African-inspired Intonga Amasatchi, a treatment using wooden massage sticks to relieve tension, and as vigorous as a proper Thai massage, was as brave as I got.
Much as it bills itself as a destination spa, the Shanti Maurice does encourage you to get out and explore, and the island's small size makes that easy. I didn't have time – or was too dialed down – to get to the north and west, the most popular areas for tourists. I did manage a leisurely drive around the south, however, past coffee and pineapple plantations and walls of sugar cane, the island's cash crop, to Mount Piton, the highest point in Mauritius. It's en route to Chamarel, a slightly disappointing bunker of multi-coloured earth that redeemed itself by also being home to some giant tortoises – knocking 90 years old and showing all the signs of being sluggish kaphas – and acting as a rest stop en route to Grand Bassin, also known as Ganga Talao. By turns gaudy and spellbinding it's claimed this holy lake was created by Shiva spilling Ganges water into a crater. A giant Shiva statue on the side of the main road acts as a gathering point for an annual pilgrimage, and during the rest of the year where tourists and hungry monkeys congregate, not always in harmony.
I also booked myself a horseback ride along a deserted crescent beach – there are lots of them in the south – where earlier in the day I had seen the rhythmic dance of some dolphin pods. I got to watch Twain's "crimson seas at sunset", his "pallid moon sailing through the shredded cloud-wrack."
And perhaps in the end that is all we need – a change of pace; some barefoot dining on the beach; orchestras of frogs; the scent of lemon-ginger tea; an Abhyanga massage or three; the soothing taste of miso; a slightly purple wordsmith.
Back in England I studied my kapha dosha profile in detail and discovered it will be hard to implement unless I change some fundamental aspects of my life, such as my job and where I live. But much of it makes perfect sense and is easy to put into practice. That is something I will never be able to say about piloxing.
Shanti Maurice currently offers a seven-night Discover Mauritius programme, including half-board accommodation in a Junior Suite and three excurisons for 510 Euros (£440) from 1 May to 31 October 2011.

Beautiful Creatures
3 out of 5 Stars
Director • Richard LaGravenese
Starring • Alice Englert, Alden Ehrenreich, Viola Davis, Emma Thompson
Rated • PG-13
Recommended to • Those looking for a fantasy romance where something actually happens.
Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) wants to escape his sheltered Southern town, but there's something to be said about falling in love with Lena (Alice Englert), the new and mysterious girl who lives with her hermit of an uncle.
The instant "Twilight" was a runaway hit the onslaught of movies with similar plots and themes were inevitable. Thankfully that allowed "Warm Bodies" and now "Beautiful Creatures" to be made. "Beautiful Creatures" isn't quite as inventive as "Warm Bodies," but it does have a major advantage over "Twilight" in that characters make major decisions and sacrifices with consequences that stretch beyond their personal space. Whereas "Twilight" was about being selfish, this film is about being selfless. It also looks like a film, rather than a made-for-television special with the occasional splash of glitter. I'm not saying "Beautiful Creatures" is a masterpiece; it isn't. It is an entertaining voyage that works extremely well when it keeps things small. When the film goes crazy for special effects and a general sense of cinematic chaos it gets a bit silly and steals away the spotlight from the developing relationships. More Ethan and Lena and not nearly as much witchery would have suited me better.

Young was benched for missing meetings
Vince Young missed multiple meetings before the Titans' Week Two game at Pittsburgh, which may have led to his benching in the game.
Johnson runs Titans past Giants 29-10
The Tennessee defense forced three turnovers in beating the error-prone and undisciplined New York Giants 29-10 on Sunday.

Roos (appendix) played Sunday against Chicago.||||||| His 119-game consecutive starts streak came to an end Oct. 28 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Roos had surgery Monday morning to remove his appendix, and coach Mike Munchak says they will have to wait and see how quickly the tackle recovers before knowing if Roos will be available Sunday against Indianapolis.||||||| Roos was sore before a 35-34 win at Buffalo, and Munchak said the tackle was checked with no symptoms. Roos started his 119th consecutive game and made the return flight home with no apparent problems.
Roos told the Tennessee Titans he wanted to wrap up contract negotiations before the 2008 season started. Team officials obliged their left tackle, agreeing to a six-year, $43 million extension.||||||| The team confirmed the deal Saturday that makes Roos the third-highest paid left tackle in the NFL behind Orlando Pace and Walter Jones. His contract was set to expire after the 2008 season. The deal, originally reported in The Tennessean, includes $15 million in guaranteed money, including a $4 million roster bonus. The 6-foot-7, 315-pound Roos, who has started 48 consecutive games, could earn up to $1.5 million more from Pro Bowl berths.
Roos signed a four-year deal with the Titans in late July, a pact that could be worth nearly $2 million to the offensive tackle out of Eastern Washington. The 6-foot-7, 315-pounder gave up a signing bonus in order to shave a year off the end of the deal so that he would hit the free-agent market a year earlier. Roos was Tennessee's second-round draft pick this past April.||||||| Roos is expected to be in the mix for the starting duties at right tackle for the Titans in 2005. His primary competition in camp will come from Todd Williams, Jacob Bell and fellow rookie David Stewart.

Verna Madge Howe
Posted: Wednesday, Feb 13th, 2013
Madge was born March 6, 1924, in Hayden, N.M., to homesteaders Hugh and Una (Combs) Stevenson. She was the sixth in a family of eight children. These hardworking farmers raised their family on a dry land farm through the Dust Bowl years and the Great Depression. Madge went to Hayden School and finished her senior year at Clayton High School. While in school, she enjoyed basketball and loved playing the piano, completely by ear. After graduation, she worked at the courthouse in Clayton.
While working in Clayton she met Elbert Howe and they were married on Aug. 27, 1944, at her parents' home east of Clayton. Madge joined Elbert on his ranch near Rosebud, N.M. Elbert was soon drafted into the Army and served during World War II in the Pacific Theater of the Philippines to prepare for the invasion of Japan. While her husband was overseas, Madge stayed in Panhandle, Texas with her in-laws, Johnny and Agnes Howe. Here, their first of five boys was born.
After the war, they returned to Rosebud to develop the ranch. In 1957, they sold the ranch in Rosebud and bought the Two Bar Ranch near Wheatland. They sold the Two Bar Ranch in 1968 and moved to Casper to run a Gibson store and other businesses. They could not stay away from ranching so Elbert bought the Buffalo Creek Ranch, 70 miles northwest of Casper.
Madge was always very hospitable welcoming many visitors, including ranch hands, at her table. She was a gifted cook who was known for her chicken fried steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits, sugar syrup, rolls, chocolate and pecan pies, Elbert's favorite chocolate cake and the list goes on.
Madge attended the Hayden Baptist Church from childhood, but most importantly she had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. She always took her family to church, was a faithful wife and mother and was dearly loved by her grandchildren. In the face of death during these last years, her faith gave her great peace.
Madge's life was turned upside down when Elbert was electrocuted on the Buffalo Creek Ranch on July 8, 1972. She never got over this loss and her life became like a ship without a sail. Her next great battle was with Alzheimer's disease, diagnosed in early 2000. In God's mercy, she forgot some of those difficult years following Elbert's death. For the past 13 years, Madge has lived in memory care: Meadow Wind in Casper, Highgate Senior Livin; and presently Canyon Creek in Billings, Mont. These facilities have given excellent care to her during these challenging years. The family expresses their gratitude to the many who extended so many acts of kindness to Madge during these years.
Madge was preceded in death by her husband, Elbert; her parents, Hugh and Una Stevenson; her sisters, Ruby Eikner, Dorothy Bray and Louetta Beasly; brothers Odie and Thomas.
She is survived by a sister, Faye Brannon; and a brother, Wilbur Stevenson; five sons, Lynn (Peggy) Howe of Billings, Vern (Judy) Howe of Lake Havasu, Ariz., Steve Howe of Denver, Colo., Phillip (Svetlana) Howe of Ft. Collins, Colo., Todd (Kristina) Howe of Ft. Collins; and daughter-in-law Jeri Howe of Ft. Collins; 17 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild.
Madge entered the presence of her Savior, Monday, Feb. 4, 2013, from the Canyon Creek Memory Care in Billings.
There was be a viewing Sunday, Feb. 10, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Bustard's Funeral Home, 600 CY Ave., Casper, and the memorial service was Monday at 11 a.m. at Liberty Baptist Church, 1203 S. Oak St., Casper, WY.
Memorials may be sent to West Side Baptist Church Missions, 323 S. 32nd St. W., Billings, MT 59102, or the Alzheimer's Association.

When Parade of Home visitors walk into the newly-built home at 1017 Oak Bluff Circle in St. Paul, the normal "new home smell" is absent -- but that's because the materials are a bit different.
The home's health-centered and environmentally-conscious elements include pollutant-free carpet made from corn fibers, no-VOC paint, low-VOC stains and varnishes and continuous ventilation.
For some home shoppers, the green focus isn't enough of a sell -- but what about low gas and electric bills? Ray Pruban, from Amaris Custom Homes, estimates the home's gas and electric bills will total about $40 per month.
The same utility bills can cost $250 per month in a typical 3.600-square foot home. With LED lighting throughout the house, solar panels and energy-efficient appliances, the costs are kept down.
Passive solar methods will are also incorporated. A concrete-based porcelain tile floor along the southern side allows the sun to heat the floor during the day and release warmth at night.
The 5-bedroom, walk-out rambler is priced at $699,000. The costs to make the home green take up between 3 to 5 percent of the total, about $28,000. If the $200 a month energy savings hold true, it will take about 11 years to recoup the green building costs.
Hidden away in the cozy design are modern technologies that allow a homeowner to program heat, lights, and more from their smartphones. The lawn also has a smart sprinkler system that reads the weather forecast and will sit idle before or during rain storms.
The house also features a built-in book case that swings open like a door. Inside the wall, there is a hidden compartment for the possible storage of valuables, such as guns, lockboxes or family heirlooms.
On Thursday, the house will be officially named a U.S Department of Energy "Challenge Home." It can be toured (#307) during the Parade of Homes, which runs on weekends through Sept. 29.

CATEGORIES MoviesThis Friday sees the release of the muscle-tastic "Expendables 2," which reunites pretty much every action hero ever in the ultimate revenge rampage.
Starring (deep breath!) Chuck Norris, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Liam Hemsworth and Bruce Willis, the Expendables reconvene on a mission to Bulgaria to stop Jean Vilain (Jean Claude Van Damme) from selling plutonium.
The film is a sequel to the 2010 hit, which went on to gross over $274 million worldwide. Will 'Expendables 2' have the same luck? Maybe. But for now, let's take a look at what the critics are saying about this weekend's action-packed flick.

Download the LLM European Law 2014-15 brochure (pdf)
European law and EU law in particular are now more relevant than ever. At King's you will be studying for an LLM in European Law at one of the most exciting times in EU history. Our faculty is at the cutting-edge of current development while benefitting from a long-standing tradition of expertise in the field. All of which gives our students the most rounded view of European Law possible.
At King's you will not only be taught in a range of areas of EU law, you will also be part of an EU law community, built around the Centre of European Law, which was set up as far back as 1975. During your time here you will meet excellent teachers and fellow students but also European judges and Advocates General, EU officials, leading barristers, and many others with a keen interest in EU law.
The King's LLM in European Law is unrivalled. Our alumni have gone on to work for some of the most prestigious European institutions and legal firms. We are passionate about giving our students access to the best opportunities. We are passionate about Europe. And above all we are passionate about European law.
Alongside our eminent team of King's academics teaching on the pathway, such as Professors Andrea Biondi and Alexander Türk, a strong team of visiting professors and practitioners also contribute to the European Law community:
You may choose to study one of our six specialist LLMs or create a unique programme tailored to your areas of interest. At the start of the semester you will have the opportunity to attend taster lectures and to speak to module leaders before you make a decision on whether to undertake a specialist or tailored LLM.
For all options, you will need to study full or half-modules that add up to a total of 180 credits. A list of all modules is shown below. Each module is worth 40 credits (with half modules worth 20 credits). You will need to select modules of your choice that add up to 120 credits in total.
To achieve the additional 60 credits you need to choose between guided LLM research options, which include a longer dissertation or shorter research essay requirement.
The modules listed below are those related specifically to the LLM in European Law pathway. The general Master of Laws entry lists all available LLM modules.
In the first and second semester you study your selection of taught modules (half and full). These are in most cases assessed in the third semester (May/June) by written examination, or in some cases by the submission of an assessed essay. Please see further details for each individual module in the module list below.
Dissertation or research essays must be submitted in September, after the May/June examinations.
Weekly two-hour seminar.
Indicative/suggested reading: Townley, Article 81 EC and Public Policy (2009) Hart Publishing,Oxford.
Module description
Most lawyers and competition authorities agree that the sole goal of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU is, and should be, consumer welfare; yet, many EU Courtjudgments suggest that other public policy goals are also relevant. Reflecting Dr Townley's book on the subject, the module considers the arguments for and against the incorporation of public policy goals (and why this matters to the outcome of cases); the state of the existing case law; and how public policy goals should best be incorporated in Article 101 TFEU, if they are relevant there.
The module is taught through a series of two-hour seminars, given by Chris Townley. There is a high degree of student participation in the classes. The module outline provides an array of references for further reading as well as sample questions for us all to ponder before each class. Students can also submit two essays which Chris will mark, grade and return with comments on how they might be improved. This should prove particularly useful for those not used to being examined in the UK system.
It is vital that students read in depth and understand the text and cases set as part of the seminar reading. This is an advanced competition law module, which is ideal for anyone with a good knowledge of European competition law, or those who plan to take one of the other competition law modules during their LLM, please see below for links to these modules.
A 2-hour examination will be set, requiring the student to answer 2 questions. The examination is closed-book. There will be ample opportunity to answer exam-style questions throughout the course.
Module description
EU administrative law has always been an integral part of the law of the European Union, but has only recently attracted greater attention by academics. Its significance is not only demonstrated by the large number of acts which are adopted every year in this area at European level (some 3,000), but also by the content of those acts (risk regulation through the approval of the release of genetically modified organisms and approval of medicinal products, market regulation through antitrust decisions imposing considerable fines on undertakings, etc). EU administrative law also involves a wide variety of actors (European Commission, national administrations, EU agencies, networks, private bodies) and forms (traditional legal instruments, but also a wide range of 'soft' law).
The aim of this module is to introduce you to the principles of administrative law and policy of the European Union. The module discusses the foundations of EU administrative law, its constitutional framework, its modes of delivery (comitology, agencies, open method of co-ordination, social partner agreements), its procedures (centralised and decentralised), the general principles of law which it has to observe (legal certainty and legitimate expectations, equality, proportionality, the precautionary principle, transparency), and the supervision of EU administrative action (political supervision and judicial review).
Two-hour seminar.
Module description
EU public procurement law has emerged as a major area of practice for EU lawyers, bolstered by the increased use of PFI contracts, the introduction of new enforcement procedures in 2009 and a growing volume of cases before the European and Member State courts. This module offers a comprehensive grounding in the EU regime. It covers:
No previous knowledge of the subject is required.
Module description
The EU regulation of public undertakings and EU state aid law are increasingly important parts of EU competition law. The case law at national and European levels is growing in both number and importance, particularly of late. The reasons for this increasing focus on public intervention in the economy are numerous and varied but they primarily relate to the impact of such intervention on the completion of the internal market and the current liberalization and privatisation processes. The module focuses on the relevant provisions of the Treaty, most notably Articles 86, 87 and 88; analysing them (and the resulting case law/ decisions) through various legal, political and economic prisms. For more details please see the module outline at the bottom of this page. No previous knowledge of the subject is required.
The module is taught in seminars; you are encouraged to actively engage with the issues being addressed.
Module description
The aim of the module is to contribute to the understanding of domestic and European company law. It comprises an analysis of legislative measures of EU law, a comparative analysis of domestic laws and an evaluation of economic theory relating to company law and financial market regulation. The first part of the module will (very briefly) give an overview of basic principles of EU law, in particular the law making process, the nature and effect of the different legal instruments, and the functioning of the internal market. At a later point, an in-depth analysis of the right of establishment and the free movement of companies will be conducted.
The remainder of the module will assess the degree of harmonisation achieved on the national level, taking into consideration the directives, regulations, conventions and other instruments of harmonisation which provide the core of EU company law and securities regulation. It will also compare the strategies developed by the national laws in dealing with certain policy issues common to all legal systems (e.g., capital adequacy, agency problems in the firm, rights of stakeholders and shareholders, neutrality and defensive measures in corporate control transactions, corporate finance, market integrity and transparency). The comparative analysis will encompass English, and German law, as well as the law of the United States.
Module description
The EU constitutes an important and complex level of governance that requires its own constitutional arrangements. This module looks at the very political and legal nature of the EU, which is neither a State nor an international organization, and traces the political and legal development of the EU. It studies the EU institutions, the processes through which they develop policies and make law, and the principles which govern such law-making. The module further analyses the nature of the EU's competencies, and the relationship between EU law and the domestic laws of the Member States.
Two-hour seminar.
Indicative/suggested reading: Mark W. Janis, Richard S. Kay and Anthony W. Bradley, European Human Rights Law, Text and Materials, 3rd ed. (OUP, 2008), and Francis G. Jacobs, The Sovereignty of Law, The European Way, (Cambridge, 2007).
Module description
This module focuses on the interaction between the EU, the EHCR and the national systems of human rights in Europe. While the success of human rights was evident in the last 50 years, new questions arise as to the possibility of institutional and substantive conflicts of human rights; is there an ultimate authority on matters of rights in Europe? Do we have a set of standards or are we still searching for the most appropriate balance between human rights and other interests?
Module description
European Labour Law is divided into six parts.
Part One examines the historical development and evolution of European Labour Law, as well as its economic and social purposes.
Part Two examines the wider international human rights context within which European Labour Law operates, including in particular the legal instruments of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Council of Europe.
Part Three examines the institutional competences and framework for the making of European Labour Law, and examines the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the development of the discipline. Consideration is also given to different ways of developing standards at EU level, by way of regulatory legislation and collective bargaining.Thereafter, European Labour Law examines selected areas of substantive law dealing with worker protection.
In Part Four these include areas dealing with the position of so-called atypical workers (agency, fixed term and part time workers); working conditions (including working time and the protection of posted workers); and job security (including transfer of undertakings, redundancy and insolvency).
In Part Five the focus turns to collective matters and the duty of the employer to inform and consult, including European Works Councils.
Part Six deals with recent judicial decisions relating to trade union rights and considers their implications for European Labour Law as a whole.
In addition to the foregoing, time will be devoted to assessing future prospects in light of the current crisis in the Eurozone. Parts One – Three are dealt with in Semester One, while parts Four – Six are dealt with in Semester Two. Two – four classes are devoted to each part.
Module description
The aim of the module is to teach the basic provisions of EU competition law; to study the law in its economic and market context; and to consider particular business phenomena - distribution agreements, licences of intellectual property rights, cartels, joint ventures etc. - against the backdrop of the EU Treaty generally and Articles 101 and 102 and the EU Merger Regulation in particular. No previous knowledge of the subject is required.
Throughout the academic year there will be a series of tutorials, given by David Bailey, which follow the course of seminars given by Richard Whish. The tutorials are intended to assist your understanding of the subject in general and its practical application to problem questions in particular. A separate tutorials handout will be provided.
The teachers of this module expect a high degree of participation by all students. It is not intended, in general, to provide lectures except where, for particular reasons, it may be helpful to do so. At each seminar, discussion will be encouraged and expected. You are required to have prepared answers to the questions asked at the end of each seminar handout.
The EU is based on the rule of law and the European integration process has been characterized as 'integration through law'. At the heart of the EU legal system are the EU's judicial institutions, in particular the Court of Justice. On the basis of a few EU Treaty provisions the Court has fashioned a comprehensive and dynamic system of judicial protection. This module studies that system by analysing its two essential components.
It first concentrates on the application and enforcement of EU law in the Member States. In that context the module analyses the concepts of direct effect and Member State liability; the preliminary rulings system; and enforcement actions by the Commission. The second component consists of judical review of EU acts, where you study both actions for annulment and the non-contractual liability of the EU. This module has a strong practical orientation, to make you familiar with the system of EU judicial protection, so as to enable you to use EU remedies in practice.
Applications must be made online using King's online application portal. Applications may be submitted from 1 October 2013.
All applications must be made to the generic Master of Laws (LLM) programme. If accepted, and once you have enrolled onto the LLM programme, you will have the opportunity to transfer onto one of our specialist LLM programmes. At the start of the semester you will have the opportunity to attend taster lectures and to speak to programme/module leaders before you make a decision on whether to do a specialist or tailored LLM.

LLM student: 2011-12
I chose King's because of its international reputation, in particular in EU Law, and because of its location, in the heart of a city as vibrant as London. My experience has not disappointed me; the teaching staff is brilliant, all lecturers are leading experts in their respective area. The classes are extremely stimulating, and allow for discussion and exchange of ideas; many involve the intervention of equally brilliant guests from Chambers or the Commission for instance, who provide great practical insight into the topic.
At King's, I have had the unique opportunity to study State Aid, which in the current context of the aftermath of the crisis was particularly interesting. I also took part in the European Law Moot Competition, which enabled me to get "hands on" experience of EU law, and work as a team. We made it to the Regional Final, and pleaded in Lucerne, Switzerland, where we also had the wonderful opportunity to meet teams and judges from all over Europe.
Finally, King's has long-standing relationships with the biggest law firms, which organise plenty of events for students to meet future employers. The alumni network is also extremely useful, with many former students recruiting interns or stagiaires within the current year. I would really recommend King's to anyone looking for both academic excellence and a life experience.
LLM student: 2011-12
For me, choosing King's College London was always an interesting option, as I had the opportunity to participate in one of the innumerous exchange programmes King's offers to its students. Nevertheless, the prestige promised by the collaborative partnership between King's and my home law school proved true when I immersed myself into its academically stimulating and particularly student supportive environment.
King's provides the great opportunity to decide between a general or a specialist LLM and both seemed highly attractive to me. At first, with regard to the range of interesting and unique modules I tended towards a tailored LLM, but then the high quality of academic staff in the European Law LLM, their expertise and experience which is incorporated in modules covering very specialized areas of EU law attracted me more. Now it seems to me that precisely King's is an outstanding place to study EU law as it centres an international mix of graduates, teachers and professionals all keen on and animated by EU law which is combined with the excellent research, the effective professional networking and the distinguished programmes conducted by the Centre of European Law.
Moreover, I had the life time experience to be part of a team that represented King's in the European Law Moot Competition. During this project, I experienced the emphasis on profound research at King's and besides being involved in personal discussions with leading researchers within various areas of European law I received the valuable professional input of what the skills of a future lawyer will be.
No doubt that I have gained a lot of confidence as a young academic by studying at King's due to the way I has been appreciated and challenged in relation to my legal knowledge and my intellectual abilities.

Sad as it is, I actually can imagine Mosley winning this fight. I hope it stops with imagination.
I know that what he did against Alvarez was close to nothing but Malignaggi is small WW and doesn't have the power to Ko someone - which is the best way of sparing the audience of yet another most boring fight of the year candidate.. Mosley has got a good chin on him anyways so I wouldn't be worried about that even against a bigger puncher. If Shane doesn't bring at least 1% of that beast he once was, we are in for a boring, shell-shocked, bro hugging performance.
Paulie's main weapons should be his jab and craftyness that he brings to the table. Footwork and good ring generalship should serve him well too. Good thing Paulie can take a punch as well.
The chances are slim for Shane, but...what IF ??!!
All bs aside, this is a terrible matchup. If a non-deserving Mosley really wins and gets a title...ima hang myself.
Your thoughts?

Malignaggi actually does sometimes duck fighters. He ducked Alexander, after completely trashing him. He's ducking Mosley now, although I understand because its really an all risk no reward fight for PM and the chances of him winning a decision are just as strong as Mosley landing a big shot somewhere in 12 rounds.
I, honestly, could care less who PM fights next. Does anyone honestly think Malignaggi is going to beat any top WW? I like the guy but have always considered him a B+ fighter. He was floored by a pudgy JWW, that an old Morales schooled, in his last fight. Maidana, Mosley...both would probably KO PM.

Nothing makes me as anxious as ordering seafood in restaurants. I must look like a nutjob when I play twenty questions with a server, who more than likely has no clue about the exact provenance and life cycle of the fish or shellfish. At the very least, I need to know whether those shrimp and that salmon are domestic, imported, wild-caught, or farm-raised. And I can't just have an oyster po'boy, either. "What kind of oysters?" I whine.
Many people turn to seafood because they believe it a healthier choice than meat. I feel just the opposite. And several factors—concerns for overfished and polluted oceans, unease over the mystery that often shrouds imported products, personal taste preference—complicate my seafood choices. Do I have to give up delectable bluefin tuna because of sustainability issues? (The tuna population has dropped 80 percent in the last forty years, according to one marine study center, though the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration pulled the fish off its endangered list last spring.) Must I learn to like unattractive but abundant bottom feeders, such as slimy sea cucumber? Should I embrace imported shrimp, which accounts for 90 percent of shrimp served in restaurants and has watch groups concerned about farming techniques that overly rely on chemicals?
Given all these considerations, the question of where to get good seafood in Atlanta often stumps me. The first name that normally shoots out of my mouth is Kyma. I find comfort in the restaurant's display of fresh fish, bedded on ice for all to see. Meaty octopus and sleek branzino emerge from the kitchen cooked with equal skill. Chef Pano Karatassos's favorite—the flame-colored, mean-looking Acadian redfish from Maine—isn't a substitute for the much smaller and more distinctive rougets one gets in Greece, but it is a flaky, full-flavored specimen nonetheless.
I feel absolutely confident recommending Virginia-Highland's Goin' Coastal, an offshoot of a restaurant started in Canton that's focused on serving sustainably raised seafood. You won't, for example, find mahi mahi from Ecuador on the menu: It tops the "avoid" list of all seafood watch organizations. Seth Hendricks, chef and co-owner, knows exactly which species of grouper that conservation experts endorse (black and red, from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico). He gets deliveries every day—"even Sunday"—and some of his regulars buy fresh fish directly from him.
Hendricks sells a lot of steamed Maine lobster (harvested only by traps and with an eye for size, giving it one of the smallest ecological footprints of all seafood) and simply prepared shrimp from Texas. In his Lowcountry-style boils, he also occasionally offers lesser-known varieties of South Carolina fish, including jolthead porgy ("similar to a red snapper but not as sweet and a little more bony"), hogfish ("mild with subtle sweet undertones"), and wreckfish ("a thick, meaty fish that feeds mostly on crustacean and is delicious"). "The sustainable target is always moving," he says. The staff hands out Georgia Aquarium's wallet-sized guides to environmentally sound seafood options. I am glad to see seafood boils making a comeback in casual restaurants. They tend to combine ingredients such as corn, potatoes, and andouille with a modest amount of fish, a thrifty alternative to the huge fish steaks and other mammoth portions of seafood found at more expensive establishments. Decatur's new, nautically themed Harbour Bar & Fish House, for instance, has an entire section of the menu dedicated to various versions made with crab, shrimp, salmon, lobster, and oysters.
My favorite ways to eat seafood are, in order, raw (but only in Japanese-run establishments such as Sushi House Hayakawa, Nakato, and Tomo), steamed (any decent Cantonese restaurant), boiled (hello, Sichuan cuisine), fried in cornmeal, grilled, baked, and last, broiled, which feels greasy and dry. I hold a vague superstition that fish should be eaten in restaurants only from Wednesday through Friday, the days I perceive as having the freshest deliveries. My appetite often diminishes in front of scallops held so long in the refrigerator that they achieve a scary embalmed texture, mussels that don't open all the way, and farmed salmon that tastes like dyed toilet paper.
And I must confess: Some of the fish that rate highest on reliable websites like Monterey Bay Aquarium—dedicated to educating the consumer about the dangers of overfishing, by-catch waste, and mercury levels—hardly taste like fish to me. Farmed tilapia may be a step up for people whose taste buds were informed by Gorton's fish sticks, but I much prefer less touted but also eco-friendly herring, mackerel, and anchovies, available fresh, salted, pickled, and smoked in ethnic markets. I have learned to eat American catfish, whiting, and croaker—something inconceivable in my childhood defined by sole meunière and fresh sardines—in places such as Merkerson's (404-758-9079), a modest fish market and restaurant on Ralph David Abernathy off I-20.
My best tip for eating seafood out: Find a chef whom you respect and trust will do right by you. At the very least, stay away from questionable freezer-to-fryer cookery performed in restaurants that push batter as a food group.
