- Great sushi.OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/28/2014Some of the best, if not the best, sushi in the City.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/27/2014My second time coming here for lunch, and I would definitely come again! I've tried nearly all the sushi rolls, and just about all of them will redefine the meaning of sushi for you! With that said, my personal favorite is the unagi-ku. During my next visit, I will try the sashimi/nigiri.Special Features:
- overpriced, and underwhelming.sfdlfoodDined on 10/24/2014The title of this review says it all. There were atleast 6 things on my list of desired items that "they were out of". It was so bad I had to literally ask what they "did" have. Ended up paying $20 for 2 small Uni because their regular $9 SF one was obviously "sold-out" Never going here again. Word of advice guys, if you're gonna run out of everything don't put it on the menu.Special Features:
- Mediocre food and poor serviceUrbanFoodieDined on 10/20/2014The mediocre quality Americanized Japanese food did not deserve the prices they charged. The hostess was not friendly at all when we first walked in and then asked us leave as soon as we finished eating and drinking as if there was a designated time slot for each table. I would not recommend this place. If you are desperate, I'd say go to the other Akiko around the corner from there. The food is the same quality, but just cheaper. I'm never going back to this place.
- Hesitate to reviewAnnGVIPDined on 10/18/2014This place is so awesome I am inclined to keep my mouth shut.Special Features:
- YumOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/15/2014Fantastic super fresh sashimi. Yes yes yes. Just go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- You can't make me.TerryD32Dined on 10/9/2014I refuse to tell anyone how amazing it was, because I want to always be able to get a table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Why did I give Akiko another chanceMarvVIPDined on 10/8/2014The food at Akiko happens to be quite good. The service is another matter--poor and not necessarily the fault of the server. The place should reduce the seating by about 40% to avoid having to listen to a neighbor's conversation.Special Features:
- Not creativegoodfoodlover1Dined on 10/7/2014One is the most disappointing dining experience. Starting on the outside as we walked in it smelled of garbage. The restaurant is located next to a dark alley on a very busy street. The seaweed salad was just the kind you can buy at any supermarket. The rolls had much rice and were falling apart The main problem the restaurant didn't have any special something that makes you want to come back They didn't make any effort to be creative or have special sauces. It's a diner for sushi in the busy financial district (which seems like the only reason anyone would go there). After having a meal at Saru sushi full of love and creativity eating at akiko felt in satisfying and sad. If you love good full stay away
- Fabulous sushiLuvsanfranDined on 10/4/2014Sashimi plate was incredible, rolls were outstandingly delicious and satisfying. Service was excellent. We will definitely go back and highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must be a local thingAmyDanaDined on 10/3/2014This place was turning away people left and right due to its small size. We had a reservation, but got lousy seats and lackluster service. We were seated near the door, not at the bar. The food was good, but the service so spotty, it is hard to give it a higher overall rating.Special Features:
- Excellent Service!TobiasDined on 9/29/2014Service was impeccable! Extremely polite, took away plates instantly (even clearing empty edamame pods!) The dessert plum sake is delicious--so much so my date wanted it with dinner! Even granted my request for a private spot for our anniversary dinner. Beautiful spot, very romantic.Special Features:
- Tempura & Sashimi combo lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 9/26/2014Miso soup ordinary, nothing outstanding. tempura was a great disappointment, batter soggy, greasy, heavy, brown and not flavorful. They need to change the oil as by after 1:30 pm how many times has the oil been cooked in? 4 pieces of sashimi nicely presented but not extraordinary. Very over rated restaurant. I would recommend they not serve tempura. The sauce was pretty good but for $19, the tempura should've tasted and looked better. Couldn't really differentiate the favors of the various vegetables because the batter was so bad. Presentation looked nice . It was my first long awaited dining experience there for me but probably my last time. Yet, I am not one to waste food, I finished my meal.
- Great Foodfaz9Dined on 9/25/2014Absolutely delicious. Some of the best sushi I've had in this city!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very DelicioushappybadgerDined on 9/22/2014Excellent Japanese cuisine. The selection of fresh fish on the nama menu was excellent. Many great choices you cannot always find for a reasonable price. Excellent sushi rolls as well.Special Features:
- Very good and very expensiveflyp52Dined on 9/20/2014We did the omakase, it was fantastic. Just keep in mind you are purchasing an experience as much as purchasing a meal. Savor each piece and appreciate the differences in each. You can always savor a burger later.Special Features:
- Good, if they still have any leftFoodie13Dined on 9/16/2014Akiko's has excellent sushi and service is excellent. However it was frustrating that they didn't have a lot of the wine and fish listed on the menu. Granted we had a late reservation but maybe let us know before we order. Ended up going home hungry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing fish...not amazing serviceChristinaDined on 9/16/2014This might be the best sushi/sashimi I've had in San Francisco, hand's down. But, the service left a bit to be desired. Although everyone who helped us was very nice, it took more than 15 minutes for the waiter to take our order and the courses (we had the omakase) were spaced too far apart. We will be back, but will sit at the sushi bar next time.Special Features:
- AwesomeXPSF35Dined on 9/11/2014As mentioned on their website, Akiko's fish is more than fresh and suhis are just awesome. I have been too many sushi restaurants in the past including in Tokyo. Compared to many other places, this place rocks for sushis. I cannot say anything about the other few dishes that are available since sushis were so enjoyable and were what we only ordered.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a wonderful experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/8/2014Since my last omakase sushi experience in Seattle, I thought I was never going to find something as comparable. But I was wrong - every dish was beautifully plated like edible art. This isn't a run of the mill sushi boat restaurant. These guys are professionals and shokunin in their craft. Skip the rolls and order everything off the Nama menu. Trust me, it will be worth your while. I can't wait to come back. I swear, I could eat here everyday if I lived in the city!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic fresh sushi!LuvSFDined on 8/29/2014Had a wonderful omakase dinner on Friday, August 28. The fish was superbly fresh and the variety kept each nigiri special. The presentation was masterful and each piece was explained in detail (origin of the fish and how it was sourced). The itamae (sushi chef) was attentive and tailored the meal to my personal preferences. The evening was not rushed and the type of fish selected progressed from simple, clean flavors to more complex ones and differing textures. An overall excellent dining experience, and would recommend taking a seat at the sushi bar for the best experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food great. Disappointed style.OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/27/2014Food was outstanding. Because small space, they seemed focused on "in and out". They wanted to put all food out same time like "family style". Had to request they serve by course e.g. salad, soup, sushi. High class food, low class style.Special Features:
- spitz9000Dined on 8/22/2014The team at Akiko's were, as always outstanding in every way. The pace and order of the meal are perhaps my favorite parts of the experience, as you order - the suggestions made by the sushi chefs for food order really do make a difference, while increasing the enjoyment of any meal. Best, freshest Fish in tow - bar none.Special Features:
- Just great!lenamDined on 8/22/2014Best sashimi and sushi ever!was there 2 years ago with local friends, dreamed of this restaurant for 2 years ))) and had a dinner at the first day in SF on our second trip to the city. Perfect again! Highly recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Sushi DowntownluvgreatfoodVIPDined on 8/22/2014Akiko's is a small restaurant located on Bush Street downtown. There is a nice variety to their menu, but they shine on the variety and quality of their sushi/sashimi. Be sure to ask for "off the menu" availability for the day. Very casual and relaxed; the emphasis is on the food.Special Features:
- Best SushiOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/12/2014I love that the fish is always fresh and the taste is out of this world!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy!BlaineSVIPDined on 8/8/2014This has been one of my favorite sushi spots ever since I found it back in 2011. Since then it has been discovered, so be sure and make a reservation as seating is limited. Excellent, fresh ingredients, well prepared and served by an attentive staff. Being a smaller space, it can get a bit noisy, but nothing overbearing. Spicy tuna roll is a must order as is the seared salmon belly, yum!Special Features:
- Sushi was TOP TIEROpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/7/2014Overall was a blast from start to finish went with Omakase menu and was extremely happy with it the chef that served me was very much innovative an familiar with his ingredients. He started me off right out of the box with Uni on top of Toro which was flamed. Wow the textures and smokiness of the char was like nothing I had ever had in a sushi bar. There were so many other pieces that just were wonderful a few stood out the prawn 2 ways both fried head and the raw tail was just confusing and flipped your palate in a direction I had never gone before the texture of the raw part was so unique. The Owner for most of the meal was the expediter and stood right at the sushi bar looking over each and every plate that left but in a cool way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SushiJRhodesDined on 8/5/2014Best sushi place in SF; the service is great, wine selection is favorable and the price is just in the ball park. would be nice to ad poke bowl to the menu :-)Special Features:
- No service anymoreWrongchangeDined on 8/4/2014Been here twice. First time both food and service was amazing. Second time food was still good but service was poor, almost non existent. Not sure what happened but ruined the dining experience for us. Will not be back.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/2/2014We went here on vacation. The sushi was incredible. We aren't going to be able to enjoy mediocre Boston sushi anymore. Our waiter was very enthusiastic about the sake selection. The experience was intimate and relaxed.Special Features:
- Worth itDenVarDined on 8/2/2014The restaurant is not marked and is somewhat hard to find but worth the effort.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden GemPickyEaterDined on 8/1/2014Don't be surprised if you walk right by the restaurant... we did. There is no sign, and it is a true hidden gem. The fish was fresh and pieces were the perfect size. Very nice wine list, the only drawback is the table we had was in the back against a wall... it was a busy Friday night, and we were lucky to get a reservation ahead of time.Special Features:
- Omakase is Great!KellVIPDined on 8/1/2014We sat at the bar and really enjoyed omakase from Geoff. Great sushi! We loved all the nigiri. We can't wait to go back! The fish is so fresh.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 8/1/2014Fish was very fresh, but food lacked a certain taste
- Best sushi everluvgoodfoodVIPDined on 7/22/2014Akiko's served up the freshest, most delectable sushi I have ever had. I went with a friend who is even more a of sushi lover than I am and he was impressed too. This is sushi on a level I've never experienced before. Everything was outstanding and my taste buds will take me back to Akiko again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best I ever hadOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/15/2014Amazing bouquet of flavors!! Each piece was just incredible. Definitely recommend the Ngiri's as well as some of the makis. The 49er was soooo good! Also, the service was quite welcoming and timely. You definitely won't regret coming hereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AWESOME!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/11/2014The food is great..."special" fish pieces are fresh and great tasting! Sake is awesome and staff are wonderful. This is my go to place every time I visit SF!Special Features:
- Great sushiHairyCrabsDined on 7/9/2014I've heard that Akiko's star chef is departing soon, if he has not departed already. Nevertheless, the food is outstanding. One of the best sushi\Japanese restaurants in San Francisco. To my knowledge, reservations are absolutely required (although, if you're reading this, you probably already know that)Special Features:
- Best Sashimi and Sushi in SF By FarcrecreDined on 7/9/2014Akiko is very unpretentious. To understand how good Akiko is, one needs to dine where they think is the best raw fish in town and then order the Omakase at Akiko. If you are like me, you will use words such as "lucious" and "ethereal'" to describe the sashimi and most of the sushi the Chef has sent out to you. It is the same with the tempura shrimp heads. My two friends, first timers at Akiko a few days ago, say so as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Android Flaw Lets Hackers Hijack System Updates
Keeping your Android device updated with the latest version of the mobile operating system is one of the best ways to keep your smartphone or tablet safe. Yet a new proof-of-concept exploit from a security research team shows that malicious hackers could create harmless-looking apps that lie in wait and turn on their users only when devices are updated.
Researchers from the System Security Lab at Indiana University and Microsoft put together a paper on the topic, which they plan to present at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy in May. The paper demonstrates that a weakness in the way Android handles app permissions makes it possible to create "sleeper" apps that become malicious after system updates.
MORE: Mobile Security Guide: Everything You Need to Know
Here's how the exploit, which the researchers call "privilege escalation through updating" or "Pileup," works: A malefactor releases an app that requests very minor permission privileges from older versions of Android — for example, a game that asks to be able to prevent a phone from going into sleep mode while the game's being played.
Hidden in the code, however, are additional requests for permission privileges that exist only in newer versions of Android. Such requests could allow the app to access your contacts, your location or even your financial information.
Yet because older versions of Android — for example, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, still present on nearly a fifth of Android devices despite being three years old — won't recognize those permissions, the privileges will be granted on those systems without seeking the user's approval.
When phones and tablets install Android system updates, such as going from Gingerbread to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, they allow existing apps to retain their permission privileges. Otherwise, users would have to manually reconfirm privileges for every single app with each system update.
All a malicious hacker has to do is create an app with dormant additional permissions that only engage once a system upgrade is performed. In effect, the intrusive new permissions are grandfathered in along with the original, harmless permissions that the user accepted.
Google is very open about what changes with every Android update, and is clear about when new permissions are added. But most Android devices lag behind the update schedule.
The latest version, Android 4.4 KitKat, released in October, is installed on only 2.5 percent of Android devices. As a result, almost all devices capable of being upgraded to a newer version of Android would be susceptible to the Pileup attack.
The good news is that this exploit has never been found in the wild. The bad news is that there's no reason it couldn't be. The research team anticipated that malicious hackers might use their findings to create their own versions of the Pileup attack.
In order to counteract this potential practice, the System Security Lab has released a free Android app called Secure Update Scanner to both Google Play and the Amazon App Store. This app keeps tabs on programs that can potentially add harmful permissions through future Android updates.
Security experts who want to learn more about how this exploit works should keep an eye out for a more comprehensive explanation at the IEEE conference in May.

1William Eddins , March 20, 2014 11:32 AMIt's only an exploit if those devices on 2.3 are updated. I don't think that's going to be a problem.
0PudgyChicken , March 20, 2014 11:37 AMAh, yes, I see. Since this has never been used maliciously, let's just publish a report detailing exactly how it works and draw in a lot of publicity before Google has a chance to patch it. Brilliant.
0derekullo , March 20, 2014 12:19 PMAll Your Updates Are Belong To Us
-2house70 , March 20, 2014 4:17 PMBasically, the permissions are granted in a very old Android version, then "grandfathered" into the updated one(if the device ever gets updated).This is useless, mainly because devices that are still on 2.3 will NEVER see any updates. Ever. Also, it is useless because nobody makes devices that run 2.3 anymore, and the exploit is a few years too late.Finally, because the fault lies with the way 2.3 was dealing with unknown permissions. This whole thing is nothing more than some scare tactics targeting a 4 year old OS (not mentioned in the title, though) and lists it as something very actual, when in fact is completely outdated. Great journalism, indeed.
0house70 , March 20, 2014 4:18 PMThis is like complaining about WinMe security flaws.
3ThisIsMe , March 20, 2014 11:41 PMYou guys all read the article and then got stop on the one example that they gave. Remember it's just an example. The flaw is still present in the newest versions as well. So if you update from 4.3 to 4.4 and the new version/update has additional permission options then apps can take malicious advantage of that as well. However, this will probably never get to be a huge deal, but it could just the same.

Police State in Oakland? One Reporter's Arrest Contradicts Official Story
"Everybody on the ground, you're under arrest! Everybody on the ground, you're under arrest!" the officer yelled through his gas mask, gesturing with his baton.
As I slipped my camera in my pocket and dropped to the ground, I couldn't help but think: This wasn't part of the plan.
At least not my plan.
A series of escalations at Occupy Oakland following Wednesday, November 2nd's General Strike culminated in 101 arrests between 1 and 2 am on Thursday morning -- including my own.
Interim Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan called the arrestees "generally anarchists and provocateurs" in a statement later Thursday. Despite Oakland Mayor Jean Quan's claims that the city would not be calling for mutual aid--a call for supporting forces from surrounding police agencies to reinforce OPD--in future engagements with Occupy Oakland demonstrators, Jordan called in the order around 4 p.m., following the vandalizing of several large banks, a Whole Foods and a few smaller businesses in the downtown area.
While police from around the Bay Area geared up for a confrontation, Occupy Oakland was shifting strategies. Shortly after 10 p.m., occupiers descended upon the foreclosed Traveler's Aid Society building at 520 16th Street. It was a calculated escalation, at least in theory: forcing the police to defend the rights of the property owners or the people, effectively choosing loyalty to the 1 or the 99 percent. The scene was joyous but chaotic, a dance party punctuated by calls to "reinforce the perimeters." Just before 11 p.m., as local agencies led by the Oakland Police Department drove south toward the plaza, a banner was unfurled from the top of the building, declaring it a community center and free school.
At the same time, barricades were built up at either end of 16th street. Garbage cans, tires, wooden palettes and furniture were piled in a vain but aggressive attempt to protect the occupied building. A police helicopter circled lower and lower overhead, drowning out the arguments between peaceful protestors and those looking for confrontation. At 11:33 p.m., I tweeted, "nearly run over by black bloc pushing dumpster into growing barricade."
At some point over the 15 minutes it took me to make my way north to document the police mobilization, those barricades were lit on fire. As I stood at 17th and Telegraph looking south from behind the police line -- first held by Oakland police, then less hardcore troops from San Leandro -- a column of black smoke snaked up between the office buildings. 12:01 a.m.: "three minutes to leave, police: 'mask up!!'"
As police blocked streets leading to the plaza and began firing tear gas down Telegraph, I was not the only one tweeting with urgency. Mayor Quan was also on the soapbox, urging protestors to get in touch in the midst of the melee.
12:06 a.m. Reports that tires are burning and barricades set up on 16th. Protestors need to call my office now.
12:09 a.m. OPD has not taken action. Smoke is from burning barricade. I'll say it again, protestors need to call now.
She hasn't updated since.
At 12:25 a.m., as the flames continued to grow, a dispersal order was made from an LRAD (long range acoustic device) at 17th and Telegraph calling for demonstrators to "disperse down Broadway and Telegraph" directly to the south.
The skirmish line one block to the west at 16th and San Pablo seemed comparatively peaceful. At 12:45 a.m., reporters were clustered behind two lines of police at the intersection, just north of the entrance to Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza.

Make Your Own Zippers

Product Reviews
make a zip by Jodi Frysinger (Forest OH US)
Great product. I use it to make, little coin purses and can adjust zipper to fit. Wish I could find extra pulls because I have zippers left.
costumes by Susan Mayer (Knoxville Io US)
I was making a Mrs. Pott's costume (she's a tea pot), and needed a zipper long enough to allow her to pull her costume over her tea pot frame. This worked really well, and was so easy to use. I also ordered the stops, because I wasn't sure if I needed them, but they aren't necessary.
Craft projects by Carol Kauffman (GOSHEN IN US)
I have used the make your own zipper before. I make purses and some small accessories and this comes in handy to make my own size. Love all the color choices too.
Perfect for project by Kathi Phillips (Cincinnati Oh US)
This is the third or fourth time I've ordered the "make your own zippers". They are perfect for projects that need a non standard length zipper. For most of the projects on which I've used this, I cut the zipper to size then put two zipper pulls on when I'm making a project such as the doll case I made for my granddaughter's 18" doll. I wanted the case to open around three sides. With two zipper pulls, I put them so they opened from the middle and closed from the ends. I've used the "make your own zipper" on several other projects that needed to open around three sides of the project. I like being able to find colors that match or are a good contrast to the fabric being used for the project. And the price is good as well.

The nature of model-based understanding in condensed matter physics

The paper studies the nature of "understanding" in condensed matter physics (CMP), mediated by the successful employment of its models. I first consider two obvious candidates for the criteria of model-based understanding, Van Fraassen's sense of "empirical adequacy" and Hacking's "instrumental utility", and conclude that both are unsatisfactory. Inspired by Hasok Chang's recent proposal to reformulate realism as the pursuit of ontological plausibility in our system of knowledge, we may require the model under consideration to be understood (or intelligible) before claiming model-based understanding. Here the understanding of a model typically consists of the following: figuring out at least one plausible (preferably realistic) physical mechanism for the model, determining the theoretical consequences of the model by mathematically "probing" it and developing our physical intuitions about the model. I consider the q-state Potts model to illustrate. After having understood a model, we may employ the model to understand its target phenomena in the world. This is done by "matching" one of the interpretative models of the model with the central features of the phenomena. The matching should be motivated (ideally both theoretically and empirically) in the sense that we have good reason to believe that the central features of the phenomena can be thought of as having more or less the same structure as postulated by the interpretative model. In conclusion, I propose a two-stage account of model-based understanding in CMP: (1) understanding of a model and (2) matching a target phenomenon with a well-motivated interpretative model of the model. Empirical success and instrumental utility both play their roles in the evaluation of how successful the model is, but are not the essential part of model-based understanding.

Reading Center. His primary research interests are in the areas of cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics. He was among the first scientists to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to reveal brain activity associated with reading and reading disabilities. His current research employs combined behavioral and neurobiological measures in the study of typical and atypical reading and language development, with a particular focus on learning and plasticity in people with reading disabilities. He has a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the Ohio State University.
Chris Schatschneider is professor in the Department of Psychology at Florida State University. His expertise is in early reading development in children and learning disabilities. His research focuses on individual differences in the development of reading and the discovery and measurement of skills needed to acquire reading, which can be used to identify children who are at risk for reading problems. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in statistics and research methodology at the University of Houston and is an expert in quantitative methods, statistics, and research design. His interests include multilevel modeling, growth-curve analyses, theory building and testing, intervention design in field settings, and item-response theory. He serves as an associate director at the Florida Center for Reading Research at Florida State University; and he was a member of the National Early Literacy Panel, which synthesized scientific research on the development of literacy in children. He has a Ph.D. in psychology from Case Western Reserve University.
Mark S. Seidenberg is the Hilldale professor and the Donald O. Hebb professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin. He is a cognitive neuroscientist who studies language and reading. His work on language acquisition focuses on the role of statistical learning and the bases of age-related changes in the capacity to learn language (the critical period phenomenon). His reading research addresses the nature of skilled reading, how children learn to read, dyslexia, and the brain bases of reading, using the tools of modern cognitive neuroscience: behavioral experiments, computational models, and neuroimaging. His current work focuses on how language background affects early school achievement, reading achievement of low-income and minority children, and the role of home-school dialect differences in the "achievement gap." He has published research articles in psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and education and was recently honored as one of the 250 most-cited researchers in the areas of psychology and psychiatry. Seidenberg is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Cognitive Science Society, and the Association for Psychological Science. He has a Ph.D. in psychology

I have tried this recipe twice. Both times I have found that this in no way will make 2 pies. Maybe because I was using a deep dish pastry. The first time I tried it I thought it was way too sweet and too much coconut. I liked the taste of the custard though. So I tried it again and used half the sugar and half of the coconut. I also added a couple tablespoons of butter and it turned out great!

Home Made Buttermilk Biscuits
If you follow me at all you know I am always trying a new biscuit recipe. Well….I saw a new one in Martha Stewarts Living Magazine yesterday and it looked really good. So, what the heck got up early today and decided hey I am going to try them and see what we think about them. The recipe is rather easy and straight forward, I had everything needed for the recipe. The only step I did differently is I made mine in the food processor. Oh, goodness this makes it SO easy. We all enjoyed the biscuits crunchy on the outside, nice and soft and buttery on the inside.
I would make them again without a doubt but are they the best …nope. Next time I think I would add 2 tablespoons of lard, one teaspoon of lemon juice. Biscuits are like a chemistry project. I like that they have both cream and buttermilk makes them soft and tender. I love the taste the buttermilk gives them. When you cut half of it out you lose that taste so adding the lemon adds the tartness back in. I know I get a lot of feed back on the lard. But, until you have had it believe me it makes a huge difference and it is the best. Promise!
Buttermilk Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk, plus more for brushing
1/2 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in processor. Place butter in processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and cream; pulse until just combined.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface, and pat into a 6 1/2-inch round (about 1 inch high). Using a lightly floured 2 1/2-inch cutter, cut out rounds. Transfer to a buttered cast iron skillet spacing about 1/2 inch apart. Gather scraps, reshape, and cut out. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until tops are golden, 22 to 24 minutes. Serve Hot.I would love for you to follow along with Angie's Southern Kitchen by getting our post each time. Please sign up over to your right and follow along. You can get an email or RSS Feed. Have a lovely day and you come back soon now you hear.

The L Word Seasons 1-6 DVD Box Set

Jenny (Mia Kirshner ornaments) had just graduated from the University of Chicago, arriving in Los Angeles live with her boyfriend Tim (Eric Mabius ornaments). She determined to become a professional writer. Their neighbors are a pair of lesbian Betty (Jennifer Beals ornaments) and Tina (Laurel Holloman ornaments) in The L Word Seasons 1-6 DVD Box Set.
Trivial life and various experiences made Jenny loss confidence about life and question about love. One day, Jenny was invited to participate in Betty's family party. She was attracted by a charming woman deeply. This has strengthened the confidence of Jenny to join in lesbian groups, beginning a very different life and a different new world.
"The L World" has a total of six seasons produced by the American Showtime television and MGM. As the first film that described story of lesbian in the history of television series, gays highly acclaimed it in Britain and America.
A few days ago, my friends have recommended me The L Word Seasons 1-6 DVD Box Set as well as the music. In my opinion, soundtrack of this drama is great. I have to say that I have seen so many films and television shows, the soundtrack I was impressed and extreme obsessed most is that of TLW.
To be honest, I even have not finished the first quarter of TLW, but the soundtracks of the first three quarters have been in my computer already. TLW is a romantic film, because there are almost no major men. In this drama, all are beautiful women. So the soundtracks are particularly fresh and romantic, as well as very clean and comfortable.
Of course, the downloaded soundtracks can also give you an enjoyment of the sounds of nature music, but it is more perfect if the music accompanied by stores and pictures. So, The L Word Seasons 1-6 is recommended that you have to see the original show. You will miss a lot if you just listen to the music of it.

This is an example of literal infringement, and there is no need to resort to the doctrine of equivalents. The new competitive
product falls squarely within the coverage of your patent. To stop the infringement, you may now proceed into the world of
litigation, with all of its associated and attendant issues, the discussion of which is beyond the scope of this article.
Domestic patents can be valuable tools in your business strategy if their limitations and strengths are appreciated. The steps
begin with a well-written disclosure and an equally thoughtful analysis of what is patentable, as well as a consideration
of prior art to determine the patentability of the invention. Early in the evaluation process, it is critical that blocking
patents be identified, to permit your research and development team to explore alternatives while there is still fluidity
in your game plan. As commercialization approaches, to avoid any potential for treble damages, an "opinion of non-infringement"
is critical. Finally, if all relevant information has been brought to bear at an early stage, the resulting patent can be
an invaluable enforcement tool in that it is one of the few monopolies granted by the federal government. This monopoly permits
the patent owner to exclude others from making, using, selling, or offering for sale the patented invention. It is a powerful
right to any patentee.

Justin Smith, who was recently re-signed by the 49ers last week, will be expected to put up big numbers, like he has in past seasons.
But, is it realistic to expect that from him?
The first thought that comes to mind is "Yeah, of course. He'll just do what he's done the last five years," but then I think about it more deeply and I think "How long has this guy been in the league?"
It's no secret that Smith is aging, but don't expect anything less than a Pro Bowl caliber year. Even if he does lose a step, it will be a step.
When you think about it some more, you consider Aldon Smith, who most of the attention will be focused on among the rest of the amazing 49ers defense. Therefore it will free up the inside for Justin Smith to have an incredible year.
The fact of the matter is that Justin Smith is still great, and if he continues to have as clean bill of health, he should be in the league until he's 40.
Do I think he's worth $6 million? Absolutely NOT.
If anyone does, they should lose all credibility as a sports fan. Seriously. But don't get me wrong, pay the man what he deserves, but not millions more.
If you're as business savvy and smart as I am, you would know that his salary should be just enough to keep him hungry and humble, not lazy and cocky. Somewhere in the $3-4 million range would be sensible for an aging player like Smith.
This is exactly what the 49ers front office is thinking about when they hear the name Justin Smith. They know that they're paying him too much. The on-field character of Justin Smith does not like this, and he is going to do everything in his power to make that not be the case.
What can be expected of Justin Smith is a little bit of a lack-luster campaign in the opening games, but he will pick it up at about the quarter marking the season and it'll be nonstop from there on.
You can also expect a sack-filled season with a lot of well-desereved recognition.
He'll be excellent and he will live up to expectations.

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) - St. Louis County police are looking for a man who hid in a Dollar Tree store and robbed two employees at closing time.
The crime happened Monday night. Police say the workers were counting cash from the registers when a knife-wielding man with a stocking cap over his face emerged.
He tied up the workers with a rope, but no one was hurt.

Our Daily Homily - July 30
Not for thy righteousness. Deuteronomy 9:5
It is well to be reminded that we have no claim on God. All He does for us and gives us is of His own free grace. By grace have we been saved, through faith, and that not of ourselves - it is the gift of God. There certainly was nothing in us to merit eternal life, before our conversion; and it is equally sure that there has been nothing since to merit the continuance of His favor. Indeed, as we remember and review the past, to us belong shame and confusion of face for our repeated acts of disobedience. Oh the depth of the riches of His grace!
If we were not saved for our goodness, we shall not be lost for the lack of it. - When we have been betrayed into sin, in the keenness of our remorse, the fear is suggested lest God should put us utterly away. And there would be ground for the fear if we had been chosen because of our righteousness.
But since our original acceptance with God did not depend on works of righteousness which we had done, but on His mercy in Jesus Christ, it will not be undone by our failures. This thought does not lead to carelessness and indifference, but to a holy fear of sinning.
If our justification was apart from our merit, our sanctification will be. - The one was a gift, so must the other be; the hand of faith must receive each from Christ, and her voice must render thanks for each, as the unmerited gift of Divine Love. Where is boasting, then? It is shut out. We can claim nothing but emptiness and need. Handfuls of withered leaves! The Lord Jesus is our only hope, pleading for us in heaven, and living within our hearts. Of ourselves we are nothing: only in Him are we complete.

The very best thing about that incident was how Matthew McConaughey treated Kim Novak; he was so respectful, and it seemed to me that he gave her the courage to get through it because she was probably scared to death. His mama taught him well!

I feel badly for the tacky things I said about her at the Oscars. I am ashamed to realize how superficially I can judge people. I remember her as such a stunning beauty back in the day. Just because age has not treated her well does not make her any less of a person, but society (me very much included)is guilty of such petty criticisms. Thank you, OP, for posting this. On this Good Friday, I hope I can remember the hurt that I helped cause for Kim, and can learn from this.

I missed the Oscars, so I do not knwo anything about this brew-ha-ha, but the "bully" statement is stupid. An individual has to allow someone to bully them. I learned how to deal with it back in the 7th grade (early 1960´s).

Bullying has become a dogmatic response, much like racist. Any time someone says, and says is an important aspect of the new bullying standard, something another person doesn´t like, its bullying. I draw attention to the word says because bullying today means mostly the spoken or written word. Older people see bully and they think of some twisted kid who punches the weak. Today´s bullying consists almost exclusively of spoken written social media outlets. Personally, I think that kids should be taught to toughen up a bit and if confronted with the types of online abuse considered bullying today, maybe stay away rom those sites. As far as Kim Novak, people in Hollywood demand attention. When it becomes negative they scream. We look at only the outside of the actor. Anything that enhances or detracts is fair game because the outside is all we are awed to se.

Poster #1 says the truth, but only about FEMALE stars. The men can wrinkle on up and shuffle on and off the set for decades after their last big hit. The women get tossed into the trash the minute they poke a face out in public. The Oscars are bad enough; why rehash the low-rated show.IMO, those TMZ-type shows and blogs are tools of the devil to rob people of their humanity--from the sleazy I´m-a-Lawyer hosts to the sniggling preteen/subhuman parasites he has working for him.

I read the article. I viewed her paintings. She is an unusual woman, very talented, but also bipolar. She has had to deal with the latter all of her life, although she was not diagnosed until she left her film career.I think she looks pretty darned good for 81 - and if she wants a few "injections" to fill out the wrinkles, that is her business.There´s a lot of cruelty in our world. We see it even here.

PS. She talks about her shyness in the descriptive text that goes with her paintings at her website. (link at end of article)It must have been very difficult for this shy, bipolar former beauty to make a public appearance after so long. Her being made to feel comfortable in Cannes gave her courage. It didn´t work out so well here.

I don´t know anything about Hollywood or injections of fat or being an aging beauty but I do know that in 1964 my brother, at 13 years of age, let out a sigh when Kim Novak unexpectedly appeared on our TV screen that I can still remember to this day. The woman was defined in her youth by her beauty, she knew it and there is probably a parable in the Bible about the lengths she has gone to retain it.

The word, "bullying" is now right up there with "racist" and "diversity" in my book.

She was interviewed a few years ago on AMC and revealed a lot about herself and her time in Hollywood. She then talked about her present life as an artist. It was a great interview if you get a chance to see it. She was and is beautiful, with or without injections. If someone wants to do something to their face to give them confidence, so be it. We have a generation piercing, cutting and tattooing their bodies in, quite frankly, horrific ways. Compared to them, she was stunningly beautiful. Keep keepin´ on Kim, and thanks for the years of entertainment.

Sorry, guys, but there are plenty of people in the world who deserve my sympathy. I see them everyday. An aging, beauty queen movie star who is so afraid to grow old gracefully--to the point of deliberately disfiguring yourself in a grotesque fashion--isn´t one of them for me. And, if you can´t deal with the world´s opinion of you, maybe you should find another line of business.

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission. It is difficult to rise above it. We´ve all been there, but after 81 years of life, one should learn to ignore it all. It´s probably harder when you were known for your physical beauty but gee whiz, as I always say, don´t let them (the haters) win! Chin up, Kim, and carry on.

All of the amateur pop psyche notwithstanding, her use of "bullying" is apt. When persons who believe they are stronger, more superior, go after a weaker person with deeds or words, that is bullying.I have been appalled to see the men who pull this stuff regarding women while they must never look in a mirror and regard their ungraceful aging, their pot bellies. their unshaven jowls, the hair growing out of ears and nostrils, the bad comb-overs.Picking on an 81 year old woman who has lived and continues to live a good life away from the scene that made her famous as a younger woman takes no talent and a fair amount of meanspiritedness. The ultimate ugliness.

Folks in Hollyweird don´t like to get old and they go to ridiculous lengths to look young. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn´t. When it goes bad, it´s quite noticeable and frankly, an 81 year old should know better.Bullied? Baloney. You did something ridiculous Kim. You look silly and people noticed and commented. That´s what Hollyweird is all about, being seen and getting noticed and commented on.Accept your age with grace.

Ms. Novak was breathtakingly beautiful, especially in that scene near the end of Vertigo--my all time favorite movie--when she came out of the bathroom, her makeover from Judy back into Madeleine now complete, into Hitchcock´s gauzy green light as Scotty´s heart melted for the last time. I, too, was saddened by some of the unkind comments made toward her. No wonder she has shied away from public attention for decades.

The Donald has supported and paid for cosmetic surgery and enhancements for a long time. His wife Ivana and now his young daughter Ivanka.And his toupee is a thing of legend. His surgeon only knows what he does to his face to keep it smoothly ironed and wrinkle-free.Here is the family album re both ladies´ "treatments". Ivana looks pretty old for 60-something. Ivanka is apparently taking advantage of the family´s surgery/injections fleet discount.

I respect Kim Novack for walking away from Hollywood and living a quiet life out of the limelight. At 81 years old, she was looking forward to a little bit of excitement and recognition for just that one night. She wasn´t trying to make a "comeback" for heaven´s sake! Shame on those who took pleasure in mocking her. She deserved better.

It is saddening to hear people like Kim talk as though all that matters is appearance. I like this woman on a personal level. She´s a cancer-survivor, a painter, an artist in other media.She is a kind and decent person, but she, like so many other people who relied on their looks, sounds like a whiner now that her looks have long since faded.LESSON: Live by your looks, die by your looks.

I was sorry to see Kim Novak with that artificial face. I had seen her in the interview in AMC and thought what a pity she did not age gracefully.There was also an interview to Eva Marie Saint by Osborne in AMC, she had no surgery or injections, she felt comfortable with her herself, I cannot remember if she was 85 or 88, but she looked wonderful. I admire women that do not use cosmetic surgery and are not afraid of their age. She gave a very interesting interview and it was nice to see her again after so many years. A classy lady.

It´s not just aging Hollywood actresses who have some "disappointing" outcomes when trying to turn back the clock. I have seen some pretty bizarre sights in Highland Park Village, Dallas on Saturdays. My friends and I tell each other to shoot me if I EVER want to do that to myself. That said, it must be awful to be as stunning as Kim Novak and realize your aging looks disappoint people. Bless her, do any of US look like WE did the first time we saw "Picnic?" I disagree about the men. They get more scrutiny now too. Maybe not as much but then handsome Hollywood men never got as much adulation for their looks either. After the TMC interview, and the loving way Robert Osborne treated Ms. Novak, I think she is a lovely sweet lady!

When I was much younger I often found myself and others making comments about different females in photographs. Most of the time, it was how the picture did not do her justice or that she wasn't that pretty in person. I developed a theory that the camera was a non-biased entity that didn't interact with the soul of the subject, it showed the plain truth.We are all subject to our interpretations of the personal appearance of others. Some women are strikingly beautiful when you first see them and the camera will "like" them, but as you get to know them, your heart gets a say, and if they have a sour soul you'll no longer behold them as beautiful. The flip side is that homely girl with the soul of an angel that you find so attractive that you want to be in her presence, a camera cannot do justice to her beauty because it remains impartial. The outward appearance will be the initial attraction but the inner person is the true magnet. The images of Cleopatra that have survived are not ones of a beauty queen, but there was something about the woman that captured the hearts of two of the most powerful men of the times. You can truly look through the eyes of love.The sad thing about Kim Novak's situation is that the camera didn't lie and the situation didn't present her inner personality. That is also the trouble with Hollywood, they present women that you would want to take to your bed but few you want to take into your arms.DISCLAIMER: My observations are made from a man's vantage point, but I believe the reverse is also true for the ladies.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Kim_Novak_2014.jpg/200px-Kim_Novak_2014.jpgI agree, #18. She still looks better than any number of younger people who seem to have an awfully high opinion of their own looks.Btw, Kim Novak isn´t the one who focused all the attention on her looks, or said anything about her looks before now. She simply accepted an invitation to be a presenter at the academy awards show. Instead of being greeted with kind remembrances of her films and work, she was ridiculed for not looking as she did thirty years ago, and for having less work done on her face than half of Hollywood (and elsewhere) that are half her age.Didn´t see the show, but judging from the recent picture at the TCM event in the link above, I see nothing to warrant the harsh and hateful hoopla over her appearance.

Some confusion in the posts above -- the Kim Novak and the Eva Marie Saint interviews appeared on cable channel TCM, ie Turner Classic Movies. Not AMC, not TMC. I especially liked the Eva Marie Saint interview. She is a very upbeat, inspiring lady, who turns 90 this coming 4th of July. The interview was done a year ago during the TCM classic film festival, when she was 88. I understand she and her husband of umpteen years were mingling with the fans at this year´s festival, which took place earlier this month.Both interviews are available, among others, on a dvd recently released called "TCM Originals: Conversations with Robert Osborne," first in a series of dvds culled from Osborne´s "Private Screenings" series. If interested, you can find it at tcm.com. I don´t recall the Novak interview that well. She did seem a fragile person, and bitter about some of her Hollywood experience.

Eva Marie Saint and her longtime husband lived pretty much like regular people on Miramar Beach in Montecito. I lived nearby and it was not unusual to see her walking their dog on the beach when we were there. They did not behave like celebrities and were treated as neighbors.The same was true of Jonathan Winters who lived near the Upper Village (Montecito) for a long time. He hung out at one of the little tables outside the drug store there. Very friendly guy.Many celebrities found peace and quiet and freedom from intrusive curiosity-seekers in Montecito/Santa Barbara. This was easier for Eva Marie Saint because she was older and had never been a glamour girl. Just a fine stage and screen actress.Kim Novak married a large animal veterinarian and lived in Oregon. Loved her horses and painting. She found peace there. Too bad her brief return to the spotlight was marred by the thoughless public unkindness of Donald Trump, of all people. He invented tacky. Lots of money; zero class. What was his goal? To embarrass her? Think about it...

Here's the latest regarding Omer Asik: On Wednesday evening, a source from the Rockets stated that a trade that would send Asik to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee, and a 1st-round pick had a "95 percent" chance of happening by Thursday.
However, according to Steve Bulpritt of the Boston Herald, those talks have dropped off:
"Multiple sources confirmed that an offer of Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee and a first-round draft pick — protected, at that — was indeed made by the Celts … last week. When it was summarily turned down by the Rockets, the matter was closed and remained such as of late today.
The Celtics were not deep in talks with the Rockets today. They were not negotiating over which first-round pick would be included in the deal or how well protected that pick would be. According to a source from a team that has been involved in the process and dropped out, the next move would have to come from the Rockets."
That can completely change the outlook going forward, as the list of possible teams are shrinking by the hour. The Atlanta Hawks, who had been in the mix in the past week, is a destination that seems more and more unlikely, while the Philadelphia 76ers remain at bay.
One other important factor to keep an eye on is that the actual NBA deadline of acquiring a player who is eligible to be moved at the trade deadline is actually Dec. 20. While it won't necessarily change things on the Rockets' end, it does give some flexibility in case a deal does not come up. Head coach Kevin McHale, on the other hand, seemed to play the self-imposed deadline off, stating after the Rockets' win over the Bulls Wednesday night that he expects getting Asik back to run with the 2nd unit.
Asked about second unit, McHale twice mentioned getting Asik back. Take it for what you will. Asik would not comment, by the way.
— Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) December 19, 2013
By the way, Asik looked rather happy on the bench Wednesday night; not sure if it was him knowing he would be out of Houston soon, or he was trying his best to be a good teammate.

The dynamic Duke duo won a second break four games later to take a 7-3 advantage, before Hemmeler held serve to close out the match, 8-3. Cunha and Hemmeler now sit four matches back of the single season wins record for a duo in Duke men's tennis history.
The Seahawks were able to win the match on court two, as No. 52 Rafael Aita and Sam Wiiliams defeated Duke'sMichael Redlicki and Jason Tahir, 8-5. The UNCW tandem claimed an early break to take a 2-0 advantage that they never relinquished.

Bubble machines are awesome. Alot of damage prevention.
Defently not useless, just used as a damage preventer rather than a healer.
