Today, Pitt would win that conference 4 out of 5 years. I don't doubt it. They are down this year and are still playing great in the Big East. however jumping to the 10 would hurt their long term recruiting of the kids out of Brooklyn and the rest of NYC. That's key to their recruiting right now, so in about 6 years, when those kids stopped coming to Pitt then I agree, they would just be another dog in the fight.
But as of right now, the only team in the Big 10 in basketball that I really respect is Michigan State because they are consistantly very good. Illinois is up and down, OSU has a good year every 6 years or so, Purdue, yeah ok, one good year, Indiana hasn't done anything worth a dang since Bobby left, Michigan, have they really been a threat lately? Wisky is pretty good, I like them too, Wisky and Mich State and Pitt would dominate that conference until Pitt starting losing its recruits to Cuse.

By Fareed Zakaria, Investor's Business Daily
NEW YORK — Growing up in India in the 1960s and 1970s, I always thought of America as the future. It was the place where the newest technology, the best gadgets and the latest fads seemed to originate. Seemingly exotic political causes — such as women's liberation and gay rights — always seemed to get their start on the streets or in the legislatures and courts of the United States.
Indians couldn't imagine embracing all American trends — in fact, we rejected some things outright — because they were too edgy for a country like ours. But we had a sneaking suspicion that today's weird California fad would become tomorrow's conventional practice.
For me, Tuesday's elections brought back that sense of America as the land of the future. The presidential race is being discussed as one that was "about nothing," with no message or mandate.
But that's simply not true. Put aside the re-election of Barack Obama and consider what else happened this week:
Three states voted to legalize same-sex marriage, which is the civil-rights cause of our times. One day we will look back and wonder how people could have been so willing to deny equal treatment under the law to a small minority — and Tuesday will stand as one of the most important moments marking the end of that cruelty.
Costly War
Two states voted to legalize some recreational use of marijuana, which will surely mark the beginning of the end of the war on drugs.
This may be the most costly, distorting and futile war the U.S. has ever waged. Over the past four decades, we have spent $1 trillion to fight this "war" without reducing the price and availability of drugs in cities. This "war" is also destroying our penal system.
The U.S. has more than three times as many prisoners per capita as we had in 1980 — and about 10 times as many prisoners as do other rich countries, according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In 2010, about 1.6 million Americans were arrested on drug charges, most for using marijuana, a drug that is no more dangerous than alcohol.
This week's votes indicate that Americans have begun rethinking those policies, perhaps moving toward ones that would deprive drug cartels of their huge profits and allow our police to focus on serious crimes. Ethan Nadelmann, an expert and advocate of such policies, notes that "even as the federal government persists with its failed drug war strategy, the U.S. has now emerged as the global leader in promoting more sensible policies with respect to marijuana."
The questions hanging over Labor Day 2014 are whether and when America gets a pay raise. Ever since the 2008-09 financial crisis, the job market has been in a state of heartbreaking weakness. But the worst now seems to be over. As Janet Yellen, chair of the Federal Reserve Board, recently noted, ...
ISTANBUL — What are the strengths of the Islamic State? I posed this question to two deeply knowledgeable observers — a European diplomat and an American former official — and the picture they painted is worrying, though not hopeless. Defeating the group would require a large and ...
The Census Bureau released a report the other day on Americans' wealth that seemed full of bad news. Middle-class wealth was down, and inequality — the gap between the top and everyone else — was up. Stereotypes seem confirmed. But wait. Buried in the bad news was some astonishing good ...
It's "back to school" week for President Obama, after what a CNN analyst called "the vacation from Hell." So perhaps it's a good time to examine what's been going wrong for Obama recently and whether he can fix it. The common complaint of late is that Obama is "disengaged." This has always been ...
To be young, male and black in America means not being allowed to make mistakes. Forgetting this, as we've seen so many times, can be fatal. The case of Michael Brown, who was laid to rest Monday, is anomalous only in that it is so extreme: an unarmed black teenager riddled with bullets by a white ...

Hospital probe ends as 135 nurses are recruited
8:00am Thursday 8th May 2014 in News
More staff at Bradford hospitals means patients are benefitting – particularly in A&E, says a health watchdog.
Monitor, the health sector regulator, started a probe into how services at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust were being run after the Care Quality Commission (CQC) raised concerns over staffing levels.
Since then an extra 135 nurses as well as four new A&E consultants have been hired by the Trust to work at Bradford Royal Infirmary and St Luke's Hospital.
Monitor announced yesterday it had now closed its investigation due to the action taken by the Trust.
Its regional director Frances Shattock, said: "We have taken a very close look at how the trust is being run and why the issues identified by the CQC arose.
"We have now closed our investigation because the trust is taking action to improve the way it is run."

The Ridgewood Planning Board should commission additional traffic, demographic and other studies to gauge the potential impacts of a proposed zoning change that would pave the way for high-density downtown housing, an attorney appearing on behalf of a residents group urged Tuesday night.
Ira Weiner, hired by Citizens for a Better Ridgewood, called the proposed master plan amendment before the board a "fundamental change in the community" that needed more independent analysis.
"If you're going to do this big thing, do it right," he told planning officials at a packed meeting in the Ridgewood High School Campus Center.
Though public hearings on the zoning change began only last month, the planning board has heard substantial study of the potential impacts of the proposed residential developments in nearly three years of work sessions on the subject. But Weiner noted that much of the analysis has been presented by consultants contracted by the applicants.
Among the additional information he called for the planning board to obtain is a better understanding of the village's state affordable housing obligations, which officials have been unable to determine precisely, demographic studies to gauge the interest of the older tenants targeted, and a full "build out" analysis to asses the possibilities of further development in the zones beyond the current applications.
"If you rezone it, and people build it, then you're going to have to live with it," he cautioned.
Residents, who appeared in a steady stream to air their concerns to board members, largely agreed with Weiner's assertions – though Citizens for a Better Ridgewood has claimed no supporters beyond a small board of trustees footing the legal bills.
Dave Slomin, a resident who said he has two decades of experience in the rental market, argued that information presented so far has been slanted in favor of the proposals.
"I know the business and I know developers here are gambling with our village," he said.
"You have to do your own reports."
Several residents also raised questions about the potential influx of students into Ridgewood classrooms. Experts have characterized the additional projected students as minimal, but Superintendent Dan Fishbein raised concerns early last year that the numbers could be higher, especially given unique trends of increased enrollment in Ridgewood.
Also troubling to residents, Weiner said, is a slippery slope potential that granting higher height and density limits could be used as a precedent for other property owners in arguments for variances.
Proponents of the housing have argued that the studies presented thus far have been based on standard industry models, and that the projects will boost tax revenue in the business in the downtown, in addition to providing luxury housing options currently lacking in the village.
Board Chairman Chales Nalbantian, countering perceptions that residents have been shut out of the process, said it was "unusual" for officials to hear public comments so early in the formal process, and that residents will have additional opportunities to question testimony as the process unfolds.
"Don't assume that we're not interested in your comments and concerns," he said.

(281) 890-2665
The Northwest Branch was built in 1983, and dedicated May 1984. Marsha Carlevaro was instrumental in getting the library established in Cypress. She contacted Harris County Commissioner Bob Eckels and he told her to find the land. Rosa Chang, who was developing the Regency Athletic Club, which is now The Met, donated the land. Six hundred residents went door-to-door collecting materials for a book sale to raise money. The sale was held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church and raised $1400.00. Private individuals and companies donated an additional $70,000.00. The funds were used for equipment and books. For her efforts Marsha received the Precinct #3 Outstanding Citizenship Award. Friends of the Library Northwest Friends Of the Library was begun 17 years ago and at one point had 750 members. It was established in order to raise funds for materials for the new library. The Friends continue to hold annual book sales, and do volunteer work at the branch.

Paul Janensch: Count this Vero Beach-Connecticut guy as another one who will not be running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012
this guy as not running for GOP Like Huckabee, Daniels, etc., the passion is not there; Treasure Coast retirement suits him just fine
I am not running for the Republican nomination for president.
There has been no speculation about my running. But there wasn't much about Florida Gov. Rick Scott's running, either. And yet the subject came up May 23 at a Tallahassee news conference on hurricane preparedness.
In response to a question, Scott said he is not running and has no intention of running.
Scott and I join a growing list of people who have made it clear they are not running: Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, real estate mogul and TV star Donald Trump and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour.
Like Scott, I believe there are already a lot of great candidates for the Republican nomination, and it looks like there will be more.
Like Daniels, I decided that the interests and wishes of my family come first. I met with Gail — my first, current and only wonderful wife from whom I have never been divorced — and our three wonderful adult children, two wonderful grandsons and Bayley, our wonderful black Labrador retriever and told them I am not running.
They looked at me with quizzical expressions — which I took to mean that they support me completely.
If I have disappointed anyone, I will always be sorry.
Like Huckabee, I thought all the factors said go, but my heart said no, and so that's the decision I have made. The external signs pointed strongly toward running. But when I was alone, in quiet and reflective moments, did I have not only clarity, but an inexplicable inner peace.
I would have made the announcement on my Fox News Channel program except I don't have one.
Like Christie, I am sick and tired of being asked if I am running. Short of suicide, what do I have to do to convince people I'm not?
Like Trump, I recognize that running for office cannot be done half-heartedly, and my business (being retired) is my greatest passion although I believe I could beat President Barack Obama, who did not deserve to get into Ivy League schools.
Like Barbour, I know that a candidate for president is embracing a commitment to an all-consuming effort to the virtual exclusion of all else, and I don't have that absolute fire in my belly although I do have a lot of food in there.
There is one other reason I am not running for the Republican nomination for president. I am not a registered Republican and don't intend to become one.
Of course, I am open to a draft.

Lavender HIll Farm of Niles, MI News From the Farm http://www.localharvest.org/blog/16159/feed/entries/atom 2009-03-22T17:04:43+00:00 Apache Roller (incubating) http://www.localharvest.org/blog/16159/entry/sights_and_sounds_of_spring Sights and Sounds of Spring Martha 2009-03-22T17:04:43+00:00 2009-03-22T17:04:43+00:00
This past week, as temperatures approached 60 degrees on several occasions, my emotions rode the rollercoaster ride that describes spring on the farm. Elation over bulbs starting to pop, spring peepers peeping in the pond out back, doves cooing in the late afternoon warmth, songbirds competing for prime nesting materials, and kitties cavorting in the soft, greening grass, is tempered by an underlying angst over the growing list of time-dependent chores that need to be done to get ready for summer.

A dry week in March is a blessing, allowing for completion of yardwork that may not get done once planting time and lavender pruning time arrives later in the spring. Leaves that didn't get raked last fall due to the early snow were collected and moved to our growing compost pile. Additions of manure from the barnyard added nitrogen, and uneaten hay added carbon & bulk. Bulbs were transplanted to make way for our planned ramp entry on which construction has resumed. Our potted Christmas tree was planted in the yard; not a small job since Bill uncovered "the mother of all rocks" during the act. "Mother rock" is now parked in the front yard, awaiting a final home. Grass needs to be planted at the location of several 2008 "projects".

As we plod through the seemingly unending list of tasks, we make sure to take time to enjoy the sights and sounds of spring.
 http://www.localharvest.org/blog/16159/entry/the_end_of_an_era The End of an Era Martha 2008-12-15T16:03:01+00:00 2008-12-15T16:03:28+00:00
This past Wednesday marked the end of an era at our farm. Our Black Welsh Mountain Ram, Rambo died of natural causes. He is pictured on the first page of our web site at Qtm.net/lavenderhillfarm. We got Rambo and three purebred ewes from Wye Plantation in Maryland in 2000. Tom Wyman, the owner, imported this breed of sheep from Great Britain in about 1972. Black Welsh Mountain sheep are small animals, and notable because of their very black wool. Though the wool surface will bleach to brown in the sun, it is very black beneath. But what we love the most is the docile, gentle nature of this breed. Even though Rambo had a mean looking set of horns, we knew he would never hurt anyone. A nicer ram we have never had.

We will always remember the trip back from Maryland in October of 2000 with Rambo and the ewes in the back of our capped Ford F150. We parked for the night in the driveway of my sister's house in a Philadelphia suburb. Many of the neighbors probably wondered what the loud drumming noise was that they heard throughout the night. It was in fact Rambo's horns hitting the cap of the pickup as he got friendly with the ewes. We heard the same noise as we drove down the highway all the way home. It took a few generations before these new, east coast sheep really integrated with the rest of our flock of mostly Suffolk sheep. Now we raise almost excusively Black Welsh and are phasing out the Suffolk because of their easier care and gentle nature.

December 7, 2008

I'm resting today after being at the Chesterton, Indiana Mistletoe Market yesterday. It was good seeing lots of folks I know from previous years selling at the Chesterton European market. This week will be a busy one, full of preparations for Christmas; packing gifts for out of town relatives, writing Christmas cards, and making special holiday decorations from paper, wool, evergreens and lavender. I am also preparing for our last scheduled open day this year for the shop on the farm this Saturday, December 13. I hope that folks will make the trek out here to see the natural beauty we enjoy every day.

The fresh 10 inches of snow that has fallen over the last two days paints a Christmaslike setting on our farm. The evergreen boughs are frosted white, and the lavender is blanketed with snow, a good protection from our cold winters. Even today it is snowing lightly but in big, discrete flakes, reminiscent of the Christmas-eve snow in "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Like Linus I hope that people will keep in mind the real reason for the season this year.

 http://www.localharvest.org/blog/16159/entry/family_thanksgiving_at_the_farm Family Thanksgiving at the Farm Martha 2008-11-24T01:19:03+00:00 2008-11-24T01:19:03+00:00
This Thanksgiving my husband and I are celebrating the 10th anniversary of living on the farm. Ten years ago we bought the 1850 farmhouse from my parents who had lived here since 1952. They were ready to downsize and built a smaller house next door on the farm. We are so thankful to be able to celebrate this anniversary with them still living next door. My dad is 89 now and my mother 87 and we treasure the time we are able to spend with them. Dad's health has been failing this year, but he still enjoys good food and so we look forward to seeing him relish the special meals we prepare at this season. Though my seven brothers and sisters are scattered around the country, many will make it "home" this week. Lots of special meals will be shared as we enjoy Thanksgiving week rather than Thanksgiving day as most people know this holiday.

Roast Leg of Lamb Preparation

One favorite food of our family is leg of lamb. Though the accompaniments can vary, we usually prepare the leg the same way. Cut slits in the leg and insert slices of fresh garlic. Drizzle olive oil on the leg and rub the outside of the leg with Herbes de Provence, a herb blend that contains lavender, and salt and pepper to taste. Place the leg in a roasting pan and surround it with an assortment of vegetables like onions, carrots, celery, even diced sweet potatoes. We often pour about 2 cups of some inexpensive red wine in the roaster as well. Heat the oven to 450 degrees F and place the roaster on a rack about a third of the way from the bottom of the oven. After about 15-20 minutes turn the oven temperature down to 375 F. Roasting time will vary depending on the size of the leg, but doneness is best tested by internal temperature using an instant-read thermometer. We like our lamb medium rare, slightly pink. For that stage of doneness remove the lamb at an internal temperature of 130 F. Let it rest on the counter covered with foil for 15 minutes before carving it into thin slices. Be sure to heat your serving platter while the roast is resting so your lamb will stay warm longer. Take some of the vegetables out of the roaster and serve as a side dish. The other vegetables can be pureed with the juices and extra broth (chicken or beef) if necessary for a sauce.
 http://www.localharvest.org/blog/16159/entry/october_28_2008_first_snow October 28, 2008 -First Snow Martha 2008-10-29T01:06:53+00:00 2008-10-29T01:06:53+00:00 Waking up this morning to an inch of snow on the ground was reminder enough that Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas is not far behind! This change of season always rekindles in me the desire to start baking again. Today I tried a new recipe for jam thumbprint cookies but added dried lavender to the cookie recipe and used lavender jelly as the filling. I must say they were very tasty. I'll be serving them at our shop on the farm this Saturday. Of course we have lavender for culinary use for sale there. Dried lavender adds an interesting flavor to many types of foods. I recommend trying a teaspoon or so of ground lavender flowers in just about any sugar cookie or white or yellow cake recipe. Lavender is especially good in combination with lemon or other citrus in cookies or cakes. Enjoy!

Three new countries climbed the podium tonight: Croatia, Korea and Thailand, bringing to 29 the total of nations whose swimmers earned a youth Olympic medal. Host China topped the medals table with 17 awards (10 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze). Only two nations, China and Russia, celebrated double youth Olympic champions in both men's and women's events: Shen Duo and Yu Hexin, and Rozaliya Nasretdinova and Evgeny Rylov. Hungary, Lithuania and the USA had young hopefuls accomplishing the same feat among girls: Liliana Szilagyi, Ruta Meilutyte and Hannah Moore, respectively.

YOG Nanjing 2014: Egypt's Akram cruises to victory in 800m free

Serbia withstood a herculean effort from United States of America to be the only team with three wins after round play on the third day of the FINA Men's Water Polo World Cup at the Central Swimming Pool in Almaty today.

Seems like a guy who allegedly works for a newspaper would be able to correctly spell John DeFilippo's name, particularly after having brunch with him.
I trust him. Seems like a long way to go for a bogus scoop.
What hotel has flying pigs?
Quote from: Dr. Kahn on March 25, 2007, 11:10:21 PMI trust him. Seems like a long way to go for a bogus scoop.There's no scoop involved in his post so there's no issue of trust involved, I was simply commenting it was interesting that an alleged newspaper professional could mangle John DeFilippo's name so badly.
John covers the A's.

Natalie's Review
Kacaba Vineyards Proprietors Blend Silver Bridge Cabernet 2005, Ontario, Canada: Vintages Wine Panel: In 1997, Michael Kacaba saved prime vineyard property from vanishing under a developer's bulldozer. In the 14 years since, his environmentally sustainable winery has produced a broad range of award-winning wines. Lovely black fruit, cedar and pepper notes on the nose and the palate. Dry and medium-full bodied with great structure and beautifully integrated tannins and a long fruit laden finish. Enjoy this with an early jump on BBQ season. My note: A robust, tannic red with tasty dark red fruit aromas. Perfect for big meat dishes… maybe a brontosaurus burger. Drink: 2011-2014. 223974 13% XD 750 mL $14.95 Score: 87/100.

"Bullying in Cornwall? Is your childs school doing anything about it? Do they have a policy that works or do they just tick boxes?
It's fair enough to say that bullying has been around for a very long time and to a point it's evolved via the use of social media allowing for harsher effects.
The cyber bullying issue is a problem unto itself but if we were to address bullying in school specifically...why do we still have bullying, why does it continue?
The Government doesn't actually have a law to govern it, moreso it allows schools to have their own individual policies...which in part I feel is the problem. Why is it that you can have two schools maybe several hundred metres apart and one has little to no problem with bullying where as at the other it's rife?
What's your thoughts on bullying? Experience of pro active schools and where there are complete failings?"
Start the discussion
Cyber bullying, sticks and stones. Ignore the morons and they soon get bored and move on. React and they will stay
Something about your area!

The evil version of the Prince during the Two Thrones.
Farah is an Indian princess and is the daughter of the Maharajah. She crosses paths with the Prince of Persia on numerous occasions and aids him throughout his adventures (while they develop special feelings towards each other).
Kaileena is a powerful and mysterious woman who rules over the Island of Time as its Empress. Both the Prince and the Vizier seek her for her involvement in the Sands of Time's creation.
The elder man encountered in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
A boss character from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Shahdee is a servant of the Empress of Time. She is sent to kill the Prince of Persia.
A near invincible instrument of fate summoned whenever the chain of destiny is broken, the Dahaka pursues the Prince for avoiding his predetermined death in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
His name never explicitly stated, the Prince is the protagonist of the Prince of Persia franchise. Though his personality and appearance have varied over time, he is never without his trademark athletic and acrobatic skills, and is generally a good hand with a sword, too.
The Vizier is a black-hearted government minister with grand plans to wrest power from the sultan and claim the young princess as his own.

On Friday, Jan. 17, it was reported by news agencies that a Haitian judge investigating the assassination of Jean Dominique, a crusading Haitian journalist who was killed in 2000, recommended the indictment of former Sen. Myrlande Liberis-Pavert, a founder and former director of the Aristide Foundation for Democracy, along with eight others. No legal documents to sustain these charges have been made public.
November 17, 2013
At great personal risk, Haitians demonstrated massively in cities throughout the country on Sept. 30 and Oct. 17, calling for President Michel Martelly to step down. By choosing historically significant dates marking past coups, the Haitian grassroots majority is clearly saying they want an end to 10 years of military occupation. Martelly's police force brutally broke up some demonstrations with tear gas and beatings.

Happy Independence Day! Bluegills on fly.

Decent crowds for the show this afternoon and although it felt weird to be done at 4pm, no one was complaining...haha. A few kids dressed up in patriotic gear and the food and drinks were appreciated by all as we crowded under the cookhouse tent since it was still raining.
Two day lot & license

We're also in the midst of the after effects of Hurricane Andrew so we've been enduring a lot of rain...we drove to this lot late last night (a 75 mile jump in the wrong direction) and thankfully got in before the real rain hit.

Behind an entryway guarded by brass and ceramic figurines, Rasoi—which means kitchen in Hindi—serves up traditional Indian fare bursting with aromas of cumin, garlic, and ginger. Black, lacquered tables populate with salmon and lamb dishes roasted in a clay tandoori oven. A full menu page of vegan and vegetarian dishes mingles fresh chickpeas and eggplant with dry mango powder and green cardamom. And, after sopping up the last of a three-course Thali feast, guests can sip on a sweet mango lassi or rub the mint-green walls to test whether they're scratch-and-sniff.
For the Hoang family, opening Pho 14 was a dream come true. Owner Tommy was inspired by his mother, Nga, who grew up in a small town in Vietnam, where she became well-known for her culinary skill, especially with vegetarian dishes. She and her husband hoped to one day open a family restaurant where she could share her talents with others, but their dream was dashed when he was taken prisoner at the end of the Vietnam War. By the time the couple was reunited more than four years later, their plans to open a restaurant had become a distant memory. Today, Nga's passion for cooking has been reignited at Pho 14, where diners feast on authentic Vietnamese dishes inspired by her recipes. There are steaming bowls of pho, of course, brimming with tender rice noodles and garnished with bean sprouts, hot peppers, and fresh basil leaves. Banh xeo (Vietnamese crepes) are rolled up with shrimp and green onions and served with a homemade fish sauce, while five types of spring rolls help get meals off to a delicious start.
Levante's derives its name from Levantine, the term that refers to the easternmost swath of the Mediterranean region, which includes coastal cities across Turkey, Greece, Lebanon, Syria, and Israel. The bistro-style menu reflects this name by featuring flavors and recipes from each of these distinctive yet regionally bound cultures. A wood-fired oven dominates the open kitchen, charcoal grilling veal cutlets, chicken skewers, and eggplant as the chefs load plates with freshly baked scraps of pita and flatbreads. Even the dining room's color scheme echoes the Mediterranean theme with its deep blues and stark whites, mimicking the vista of a sun-bleached village beside the sea.
The counter staff at Amsterdam Falafel Shop fries their signature fare right before your eyes and hands you your sandwich roughly three minutes after ordering. But it's a collaborative process. After that, you can head to the garnish bar and dress the deep-fried chickpea balls any way you like, ladling, scooping, and drizzling on any of the 21 garnishes, pickles, and sauces to craft a meal that's customized to your taste buds or those of the roommate living off your crumbs. And, in the Dutch tradition, the shop also serves fries that may be jazzed up with a choice of dressings, including dutch mayo, homemade peanut 'saus,' malt vinegar, and Old Bay seasoning.
His entrées may be named after animals, but chef Tai keeps his Chinese cuisine absolutely free of meat. He uses imitation meats to craft standout dishes such as pumpkin chicken, kung pao squid, and shredded pork. As if to emphasize his passion for natural foods, Tai cooks only with pure vegetable oil and refrains from flavoring his dishes with MSG or dark magic. These restrictions sometimes force him to get creative, but the results are delicious whether he's using soybean protein to make chicken or transforming white yams into baby shrimp and squid.
Korean specialties such as barbecue short ribs, kimchi, and?of course?tofu soup fill the menu at this casual restaurant with outposts in Annandale and Centreville. Among the chefs' crowning offerings are steaming bowls of bi bim bap that cradle bulgogi (Korean-style marinated beef) as well as heaps of bean sprouts, corn, and fried egg. Depending on personal tastes, the spice levels of each dish can be custom calibrated from ultra-mild ?white? to three-alarm ?spicy spicy.? But not all dishes served here come to the table piping hot, including the cool naegn myun soup, a refreshing summer dish loaded with buckwheat noodles, slices of beef, and hints of Noreaster.

Gretsch Drums is proud to welcome Jeremy Davis to the Gretsch artist roster and family.

With the passing of Louie Bellson, drumming has lost a genuine innovator. Drummers around the world have lost a sweet and gentle man who was at once an icon and a comrade. And the Gretsch family has lost a cherished friend.
When Louie was making his mark on the drumming scene in the 1940s and '50s, playing with the great bands of Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, and Harry James, he did it on Gretsch drums. When he wanted a unique double bass drum setup with a totally unprecedented tom-tom configuration, he brought his design to the Gretsch factory in Brooklyn, New York. There, the Gretsch craftsmen made Louie's vision a reality. And Louie went on to make drumming history.
Everyone at Gretsch is proud to have been a part of Louie Bellson's history. We mourn his passing, and our hearts go out to Francine Bellson and the rest of Louie's family. But at the same time, we join drummers everywhere in celebrating Louie's greatness, as well as his unparalleled contribution to the art of drumming.

"We were all looking for Hser Ner Moo," said Pender, who befriended the family after she assisted them in registering Hser Ner Moo and her brother Sunday Moo in a local public school. "There were so many people in and out of the apartment. ... We ended up sending people away."
Pearlly Wa, the child's mother, was frantic, Pender said. She kept running outside to search for her daughter's footprints in the slow-melting snow even after officers asked her to stay put.

A Missing Peace
Reporter Julia Lyon traveled to Thailand to trace the journeys of Hser Ner Moo and Esar Met from the Mae La refugee camp to Salt Lake City. Her series, reported in collaboration with the International Reporting Project, also explored the challenges their families and other refugees face in America. See the series at http://extras.sltrib.com/thailand.

"I'll never forget the look on her face, just the fear in her eyes that she couldn't find her little girl," Pender said. "When it came to be nighttime and we still couldn't find her, she was just desperate."
The family did not know Met or that the girl had visited his apartment before.
Defense attorneys have implied one of Met's four roommates could have been responsible for the girl's disappearance and death.
Met, who had also been living in a Burmese refugee camp in Thailand before moving to the U.S., arrived in the apartment about a month before the slaying. The other men had been there longer.
Met's roommates were arrested on April 1, 2008, but later released.
Police said at the time that the four men were not home when the girl was killed and did not know her body was in Met's basement bathroom.
Forensic experts walked a jury through the bloody crime scene Thursday as prosecutors projected graphic photographs in court.
Blood streaked the white walls and dotted the carpet in the basement where Met had been living. Trickles of red dotted the linoleum floor of the bathroom, a trail that led investigators to find the child crumpled in the tub.
She was facedown, one arm broken. Someone had stuffed her discarded underwear beneath her head and bent her legs to fit the child's small body into the narrow basin.
Her hair and skin were wet, as were her clothes, said investigator Brent Marchant, who worked on the case for the medical examiner's office. He guessed the perpetrator had tried to wash her.
"She was very cold," he said, estimating she had been dead for at least 18 hours. "She had been through quite a struggle, a violent struggle."
On Friday, prosecutors will likely call relatives of the defendant to testify.

LAKE Lonsdale is unsafe for human use following an outbreak of blue-green algae.
GWMWater has warned people to avoid direct contact with water in the lake.
The authority warned if contaminated water contacted human skin it could cause skin rashes, itchiness, sore eyes, ears and nose or, if swallowed, might induce nausea and vomiting.
Customer relations manager Helen Friend said warning signs were in place at major recreational areas around the lake.
"They will remain in place while the warning is current," she said.
"The signs advise people of what they can and can't do."
Mrs Friend said people could continue to boat on the lake but they should avoid direct contact with the water.
"We will continue to monitor the lake and will advise the community as soon as the algae levels drop," she said.
GWMWater recommends anyone who comes in contact with the water to wash affected skin immediately.
Lake Lonsdale Action Group has been fighting to stop water being released from Lake Lonsdale into Mt William Creek.
GWMWater released about 500 megalitres from the lake into Mt William Creek over summer.
Group president Ray Howard said the water level was dropping.
"People can get a boat in the water but only if they drag it out – they can't get a boat in from the boat ramp," he said.
"Lakes with low water levels don't attract a lot of visitors, but there are nice fish out there."
He said it was disappointing the lake now had blue-green algae because even fewer people would visit.
"There is not a lot you can do though, we just have to wait until it goes," he said.
Mr Howard said he hoped it rained soon.
"We've had a dry spring and a dry summer unfortunately," he said.
"But a review of bulk water entitlements is coming up soon so hopefully we can change a few things.
