Button pushing
Will print-on-demand technology save publishing or deliver its final death blow?
Published: October 14, 2010
Or you can eliminate the middleman completely and publish your book yourself. As more people choose to do this – self-publishing portal Lulu.com adds around 20,000 new titles a month – POD will begin to erode the stigma of the so-called vanity presses. Artists with a need for creative control, writers who can't stand pesky copy editors or, well, your Viking-loving neighbor can go to sites such as Lulu or CreateSpace (an Amazon offshoot), upload text and pick preferred page sizes, binding styles and cover templates. Soon enough, they'll have a book available for purchase.
Baltimore-based author Elena Johnston used Lulu to publish her 2006 La La Land, as well as to reprint another book (Paper Kingdom) after it sold out of its first two print runs. With a subject too narrow to attract a traditional publisher and without a huge start-up fund, Johnston found POD almost perfectly suited to her needs. The downside, of course, is that Johnston had to not only format her own layout but also promote and sell the book herself. If traditional publishing employs a phalanx of copy editors, graphic designers and PR flacks to create a final product, POD self-publishers have to take on all those roles themselves. In her Indie Publishing: How to Design and Produce Your Own Book, Lupton offers a test case of POD publishing via Lulu. The advice on formatting and design is specific and helpful, but the underlying message is also clear: This kind of publishing takes hard work and, more often than not, community support. "When you do it yourself, you have to find your network," Lupton says during a recent phone interview.
But there's no question that some self-published POD books are, frankly, disasters. This is partly because now that anyone can publish a book, it's starting to appear like everyone is. While back in the day "to publish a book used to be a pinnacle of something," as Breier puts it, POD's enabling of the self-published is eroding the cultural cache of the published book – not necessarily a good thing. There are economic concerns as well. In a May 26 New York Times op-ed, Garrison Keillor predicted that the future of publishing was "18 million authors in America, each with an average of 14 readers, eight of whom are blood relatives. Average annual earnings: $1.75."
Even Lupton, an enthusiastic champion of DIY publishing, admits that it's usually not enough just to be a writer. "If you just do POD on Amazon, no one's going to know about your book, because there are millions of books," she says. She suggests pairing a book with an exhibition or a lecture series in order to reach an audience. To her, it all comes back to community – it's important to "design things that have an audience you can reach," she says, even if "it might not be a huge community."
But POD's effect on the industry – whether liberating, dire or both – mostly remains to be seen. Ultimately, though, Lupton is optimistic. "The tools don't make the need for skills disappear," she says. "Anyone can push a button and print a book, but that doesn't make it a good book. But 20 years ago there wasn't a button to push." These days, thanks to that button, "if you've got the will and the ability to work really hard, you can come up with something
quite beautiful."

The school year is soon coming to a close, but the Glen Cove School District is still working hard to prepare for the next school year. Several curriculum topics were discussed at Monday night's Board of Education meeting held at Robert M. Finley Middle School, including new courses for next year and the sixth grade honors program, which was implemented last year.
Board President Ida McQuair opened the meeting on a positive note by thanking the district. "Congratulations, Glen Cove, for passing our budget," she said. "We've seen what's happening in other districts on Long Island…so thank you."
In new business, the board accepted a grant in the amount of $5,000 from Lowe's Toolbox for Education for the Discovery Learning Center at Gribbin School and approved several payments, including the final payment in the amount of $42,875 to WEB Construction for the work completed at Landing Elementary School and the first payment to Bain Mechanical Services, Inc in the amount of $11,015.73 for boiler replacement work at Gribbin Elementary School.
Additionally, the board established a Tax Certiorari Reserve Fund by transferring the excess fund balance from the 2010-2011 fiscal year, in an amount not to exceed $1.5 million; approved transfer of the excess fund balance in an amount not to exceed $500,000 to the Workers' Compensation Reserve Fund, established in 1991; and approved transfer of funds in an amount not to exceed $470,000 for the 2011-2012 school year from the Workers' Compensation Reserve to General Fund for payment of claims, fees and assessments.
An addendum was made to approve a summer driver's education course at a cost of $550 to district residents and $625 to non-residents. The motion passed, with Trustee Dave Huggins opposed.
Trustee Joel Sunshine said, "I think we need to discuss this further in the fall, regarding fees…I agree to this for summer only."
Dr. Shari L. Camhi, assistant superintendent for curriculum, provided the board with an update on the status of the curriculum committee, which met only twice last year due to the weather. She said that the objective of the committee was to continually assess existing programs, look into new courses, make recommendations to the district and move any recommendations forward to the Board for approval. The committee consists of parents, teachers and administrators, and two courses that were approved for the next school year are Entrepreneurship and Financial Algebra.
After she gave her report, several of the trustees requested further information.
"What you gave us is a summary of what happened months ago, in meetings we didn't even know were taking place," said Mr. Sunshine. "Minutes should be minutes, containing the full report of what was recommended, what happened…curriculum is arguably the most important thing we should decide on as the Board of Education…why doesn't this committee have board representation? This report is too general; I'd like to see more specifics, and I would like to see curriculum to be discussed at every meeting."
Trustee Gail Nedbor-Gross agreed, asking for more information about what has been discussed regarding courses such as social studies and grammar. "More specifics would be nice," she said.
Dr. Camhi reiterated that the Committee's role is not to make decisions, but to make recommendations, as outlined by the District Plan.
Superintendent Dr. Joseph A. Laria said that one of his objectives for the next school year is to revisit the District Plan. He said it is appropriate for the Board to want periodic reports on the curriculum.
Dr. Camhi also discussed the sixth grade honors program at the middle school, which was created for the current school year. She went over the criteria for the program and said that the program was very rigorous, but most kids "seemed to step up to the plate." She said the program is not perfect and still "needs tweaks" and that 22 additional students will be a part of it next year.
Dr. Laria said that when he first took the job here last July, there was a lot of confusion surrounding the program and he wanted to organize a task force to make the program "right."
The final topic discussed was the creation of a Springboard program, created by the College Board, the goal of which is to ensure students are ready for AP courses by the time they enter 11th grade.
"I believe the content of the Springboard program is very good, but the process…when you want to roll out a new program, it is dead on arrival if the teachers aren't on board. I am meeting with them this week to see where they stand," said Dr. Laria.

I am giving away Gooseberry Patch's Garfield Cookbook on Friday, July 26, 2013. Just leave me a message on this post OR my Great Burger & Gooseberry Cookbook Giveaway post for a chance to win. It is that easy! See below for additional ways to enter.
This Peach Smoothie is my second of three recipes I am blogging about from this Gooseberry Garfield cookbook. I hope these posts will give you an idea of all the great recipes you will find in this Garfield cookbook. As usual, I had a difficult time deciding which three recipes to write a post about. Truly, all of the recipes in this cookbook look wonderful.
When I saw a recipe for an Orange Frothy Drink in this Garfield cookbook, I could not wait to make it. I love Orange Julius and was hoping this recipe would be similar to one. The Orange Frothy Drink recipe was GREAT! I knew I would blog about it until I saw a recipe for this Peach Smoothie. This Peach Smoothie had similar ingredients as the Orange Frothy Drink. I just had to try this peach drink, especially since we live so close to a Peach Orchard. It is peach season and we have been peach picking a couple of times recently. I had fresh peaches at home and knew would be great in this Peach Smoothie. After making this Peach Smoothie, it reminded me of the Orange Frothy drink recipe I made. I have never had a Peach Julius but I image it would taste just like this Peach Smoothie. This smoothie was very frothy, cold, and a delicious sweet treat.
The recipe instructions say to slice 2 cups of peaches and freeze them. I just sliced the fresh peaches and added them to the blender. Because I did not use frozen peaches, I added 2 cups of ice. If you have time or if you plan ahead of time, you may want to slice and freeze two cups of peaches before placing them in the blender. Whether you decide to use fresh or frozen peaches, this recipe still works and is really, really tasty.
We picked fresh peaches from Collins Peach Orchard.
- 2 cups ripe peaches, pitted, sliced and frozen
- 1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste (I used 3 tablespoons)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 or 6 ice cubes
- Add the peaches, orange juice concentrate, milk, and sugar to the blender. Add in the ice last. Blend until smooth.
Cool Peach Smoothie from Gooseberry Patch's Garfield Cookbook.

According to the pilot, the purpose of the flight was to practice takeoffs and landings at night, and due to the obstructions below, the pilot flew the approaches at a "steep" angle. He had successfully completed about nine uneventful approaches and landings before the accident approach. During the accident approach the pilot noted some light turbulence and the airplane began to descend below the "normal" glide path. He added power and arrested the descent, but the airplane struck some trees. He noted that the airspeed or the pitch of the airplane did not change when the airplane struck trees. He made an uneventful landing, but during the post-flight inspection he noticed substantial damage to the leading edges of the wings and horizontal stabilizer. The pilot did not report any mechanical anomalies with the airplane. The winds reported at the airport about the time of the accident were calm.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The graph also includes a shaded area that represents the probabilities (or chance) of impacts from a 5 to 95 percent level.
A conservative interpretation of this graph, a decision support tool in itself, might select the baseline climate, where only market impacts and the lower end of the probability of impact such that the loss of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2200 would be less than 5 percent. However, a decision maker who is worried about high climate sensitivity and the chance, however small, of serious impacts, would conclude that the costs could be as high as 35 percent of GDP per capita. The varying interpretations of such graphs and model outputs are one of the sources of disagreement about how to respond to climate change. In addition, when the Stern Review summarized the damages, future damages were not discounted, estimating them at up to 14.5 percent of future consumption. Conversely, those who consider it more rational to discount

This school was a big disappointment. If you were looking for nothing more than an overpriced play group for your 3 yr old you might be happy. My five year old got nothing out of the program and was not ready for Kindergarten andy school aged child was bored to tears and never wanted to go because he had to play with 2 yr olds and follow the same rules. The place was ridiculously unorganized from the office end and the classrooms were always dingy and unwelcoming. This place is truly a hidden disaster..no wonder they can't afford to put out a sign.
Both my children have gone to VCCC. What a wonderful preschool! The teachers are amazing, and they really promote a family atmosphere. I never found an issue with ratios. In fact, there were always at least 3 teachers in the classroom whenever I went to pick my children up. My kids loved going to school each day, and I couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience.
I am so glad I found Village Common Children's Center, I instantly fell in love with the program. This preschool program exceeded all my expectations! When I visited the program I loved how the teachers have made learning so much fun. My daughter comes home from school so excited to share about her day, and is eager to return. Since she has started school I am so impressed on the progress she has made with her letter formations, recognizing sight words and numbers and patterns. She adores all of her teachers, and I am just so thankful to have found this preschool. This school is truly a hidden gem! I highly recommend this school!
ok. as a previous preschool teacher i noticed they were always out of ratio and never had consistency. i wasnt really pleased but theres not much else in this town. i ended up finding something in another town that offered way more.
We just moved to Townsend and were so lucky to find this school for our 3 y/o. The teachers are high energy and the staff is full of creative ideas. From water play to bringing cookies to the elderly center, they create great opportunities for learning everyday. My daughter is engaged and happy and we are pleased.

Forgive and Forget Lyrics - Wavorly
It's certain now you've gone too far
You're finding out the worst about you
The wrong inside runs so thick
How did you let it go on?
Try breathing in, try breathing out
Release the source of all the doubt
How could I choose not to forgive?
With everything you choose to forget
And still we will be loved
It's making sense, the telltale signs
The root of it, the taste so bitter
The source of pain, the jealous grudge
That you allowed in anger

- Great food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014The waiter and hostess were very polite. Food was great. My friends and I sat at a table where we could see the Arch directly. The only thing was that the noise level was a little beyond my limit. But that was not what the restaurant could do I suppose. So that's OK. I would go again for a lunch in the near future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Four Seasons id not your Standard HotelyumyumDined on 11/22/2014Sitting on the St. Louis Riverfront and offering views of Downtown and The Arch, Cielo has an Italian Chef and a menu that will please almost anyone. The wine list is extensive and because we bought a bottle of Franciacorta they waived the corkage fee on our other wine. We shared antipasti among four and then two pastas and three primi piatti along with dessert. The bill was reasonable for what we ate and each dish was done well except that my veal chop came overdone. It was immediately and graciously replaced . Grilled Octopus was tender and flavorful. During milder weather there is out door seating on an 8th floor terrace surrounded by history and neon. great place for drinks and an unhurried dinner .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Work in ProgresskmskiwzDined on 11/16/2014Cielo bills intself as a fine dining restaraunt with an intimate setting and scenic views. It certainly does have great views, however the other elements need work. The dining area is very noisy and lacks ambiance. The surfaces are hard and reflective and not conducive to normal conversation. The addition of any large parties will necessitate yelling to be heard. The food is a work in progress. The chef from Venice is has some interesting dishes, but they really don't work that well. The are OK, but that is all. We suggest the chef take a sabbatical and spend a couple of months in Tuscany and upgrade his skill and flavor level. While the management of the restaraunt was very involved and service oriented, our server was not on the same team. He was arrogant and condesecnding and we found him just plain unpleasant. All in all, a disappointing experience.Special Features:
- What an enjoyable night!f1rstt1meDined on 11/8/2014The dining room and was very nice and the lighting made the room have a romantic feel. We had a party of four and we all chose the $60 four course meal. I chose the scallops, rabbit ravioli, lamb chops. The only disappointing part of the meal was the lamb chop. I asked for a recommendation on the meat temperature and the chef's choice was a medium rare. Upon arrival, we both received medium well and it seemed a bit chewy. I do not send food back as I am afraid of the results, so we just stayed quiet and ate. The sommelier was great and chose a perfect white wine for us to drink while we ate our meal. I would go back again, but would be cautious of my meat temperatures before ordering.Special Features:
- Great NightGreatMealVIPDined on 11/1/2014The food is fantastic. Wine is very good. The new chef has added a great final touch to this restaurant. Keep up the great work and we will be back.Special Features:
- Birthday DinnernewintownDined on 10/22/2014We went for my birthday celebration. Great drinks, good food, good service and a special treat for the birthday. Be prepared to spend $$$Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I was treated like royalty!!!!!!!TopchefhereDined on 10/20/2014Management and staff made us feel very welcomed and complete. We were celebrating or 7 year anniversary and the fact that we were accepting any day the arrival of my child. From the host desk to the bar we were greeted and treated like guest in their homes. I highly recommend the outside dinning at sunset or even nighttime. The view with the well decorated terrace made for a romantic evening. The wine list is grand and food sure followed. We appreciated all the staff and managers making sure we had a great evening from start to finish.Special Features:
- Very Very Good!VeryVeryGoodDined on 10/19/2014Atmosphere was fantastic! People were really nice! I would like to visit again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go-to brunch downtown!STLFoodieVIPDined on 10/19/2014HUGE brunch buffet on display that looked delicious - but I had my mind set on their absolutely delicious, platter-sized pancakes! Rich, fluffy, and perfectly sweet with the addition of their secret sweet butter and syrup. And the eggs are brought out nice and juicy with the very tasty, locally-sourced bacon. Service is friendly and warm. View is amazing of the Arch and their outdoor terrace. Love going here for a big breakfast, and love being able to make a reservation too. Thank you!!Special Features:
- Excellent for Special OccasionPavlovsDogDined on 10/18/2014Everyone was friendly and attentive but not over attentive. Staff is very knowledgable of the menu, ingredients and techniques. Its a "dress to impress" kind of place but did have a few people with jeans and a button down and nice shoes, and didn't look out of place. The view of the city was impressive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AlwayskkkkkkkkVIPDined on 10/11/2014We are frequent visitors here. Never a bad visit. Food and services always great. We will be there next week as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable eveningDidiDined on 10/10/2014Ambiance was nice although a little too dark to read the menu. Staff was very friendly and accomadating. Food was tasty and fresh with an elegant presentation. Outdoor patio area was very inviting. My husband liked that they offered a cigar selection as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/4/2014Jeffrey, the wine guy, is always fantastic - congrats on the promotion. And the food was excellent. We had the taste of Italy selection.Special Features:
- Great Ambiance!New2STLDined on 10/4/2014The restaurant views are spectacular! It was cool when we went, but there is a great outdoor patio as well. The service was terrific as well. They did offer a vegetarian menu along side the regular menu, which was great for some of our guests. The regular menu had plenty of choices but did not offer any poultry dishes, which was surprising. The food was great, except for one of our meals. The pork chop was very large, it was cooked good but half the chop was very fatty - obviously not a very good cut of pork or it was not trimmed well. Other than that the rest of the food was outstanding, including the swordfish!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could be better...LibertyDined on 9/28/2014After informing the host it was my mom's first time in the city, I was hoping for a table with a great view. Instead we were seated directly behind an enormous potted plant and a table of 12 with an infant. The food was pretty good but the bloody mary bar confused my poor old mom and they were too busy behind the bar to offer assistance. The service was excellent.Special Features:
- Great restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014This is a great restaurant with amazing food. The only complaint I had was that our table wobbled. Otherwise the staff, food, view of STL was awesome and a great place to celebrate our anniversary. We will be visiting again!Special Features:
- Another Marvelous Meal at CieloOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/23/2014Dazzling view, aim-to-please personnel, gorgeous setting, positive energy. Service a bit off. Had to wait 10 mins for tea + another 10 mins for the simple syrup sweetener. Ran out of crackers & olive oil; no more offered to replenish as waited for our meals. 15 minutes to get the "Kitchen Sink" dessert (which i highly recommend - a fantastic assortment of six small scoops of sorbet and gelato, perfect for sharing). The slight hiccups in service were only noticed by me and did not mar the overall experience. The food was up to Cielo's typical superb standards, the salmon perfectly cooked, the vegetables vibrant and crisp, the soup of the day an amazing melange of kale, white beans and pork. All in all, a great dining experience.Special Features:
- The kitchen was having a bad dayChadSDined on 9/21/2014I love coming to Cielo, but the kitchen must have been having a really bad day during my last visit because it took us 2 1/2 hours to have brunch. Although the restaurant wasn't even half full, the wait staff was clearly stressed and nothing was coming out of the kitchen. Even the bottomless bloody mary bar was empty. It was a very strange. Once the food arrived, it was just as wonderful as it normally is, but we had not planned for it to take all day. There didn't seem to be any leadership in the restaurant (I'm not sure where the managers were) and there was no communication as to why everything was taking so long.Special Features:
- Bar and restaurant differOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 9/20/2014Restaurant--decent food, nice selection, wine list good, service very good Bar--service sucks. Has been the same on two prior visits to the bar. Has been identified in the St. Louis paper as a opportunity for improvement, but obviously not improved.Special Features:
- 27th Anniversary - Al Fresco DiningChrisDined on 9/19/2014We celebrated our anniversary at Cielo as our first experience was so good. We were not disappointed. We preferred the 4-course tasting menu. Great Opportunity to try items one might not regularly order out. Rabbit Ravioli were excellent, seared scallops, Lamb Chops, Albacore Tuna and of course desert were all quite tasty and excellently presented. Service was very good with a minimum 7 people with various titles and duties visited out table. A slight delay in receiving entrée was hardly noticed as the evening weather was perfect. The Sommelier was well versed on the wines and steered us to a bottle that was appropriate based on our tastes. Overall - We will return!Special Features:
- Date NightTroutjellyDined on 9/15/2014The food is crafted carefully. It is a place to try new tastes so prepare for possible new flavors you have never discovered.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- class in the cityluv2dineandwineDined on 9/14/2014Finally, Big City Class has arrived in St. Louis! You dine in view of the Arch and be surrounded by great staff, fine food and good wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- More a bar than a restaurantGoldiVIPDined on 9/11/2014As soon as we stepped out of the elevator we knew we were not going to be happy with Cielo.Noise level was extreme,music blaring,guests' voices very loud. We were seated at a table with a nice view of the arch. This turned out to be one of the best things about the restaurant; the other was Patrick, our server. Could not hear each other.Ordered corn soup,good taste,not hot enough, and octopus carpaccio, which had a very minimal amount of octopus. Main courses of rabbit filled ravioli and mushroom risotto. The ravioli were average and the risotto was just undercooked rice with mushrooms. The taste was good but it definitely was not "risotto". The Barolo wine was excellent. Dress code should be enforced.Baseball caps and shorts,unacceptableSpecial Features:
- Great food on terrific patioKito3987VIPDined on 9/8/2014Food is good across the board, and wine is good without being outlandishly priced. Go when the weather is nice so you can sit on the patio. It's beautiful.Special Features:
- first time good timeldgaffVIPDined on 9/8/2014This was the first time we had been to Cielo. Service was prompt and the wait staff did an excellent job. The food was very good. We had a selection from the menu that allowed us to choose from a small selection of appetizers, mains and desserts. What we had was very good. This is definitely a place for a special occasion as the prices are on the high side but on the other hand you are at the Four Seasons.Special Features:
- Wonderful FoodGreatMealVIPDined on 9/6/2014The food is fantastic. If you like the St. Louis skyline and over the top Italian food, then Cielo is for you. The staff is fantastic and the food is twice that. Their wine by the glass is amazing. Where does a restaurant bring the bottle to the table. Let you taste before you buy. Great concept and one I wish more would employ.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it but eat indoorsbabyboomtigersDined on 9/2/2014We loved it. Service was impeccable. They made sure that we had what we needed, but gave us the privacy we needed to celebrate our special evening. While it is pricey, we did not feel that the prices were out of line - comparable to other fine dining establishments that we've been to in other big cities. Decent wine list and sommelier was knowledgeable and unpretentious. the only thing that we did not like was the outdoor seating right on top of the pool area. We were dressed up in business casual as were other couples and there were people dripping wet in bathing suits running around the same area.had we eaten inside, we probably would not have noticed it. Still worth going up for the view and we will be back for dinner sometime.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ServiceKlohrmanDined on 8/31/2014My husband and I went to Cielo for our anniversary and loved it! I had the lamb, and dispite it being a bit under cooked when it initially came out it was delicious! My husband had the dry aged ribeye and cleaned his plate. His steak was cooked perfectly. Our server was excellent. Not too present, but always available if we needed him and have great recommendations. We would love to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodiemomVIPDined on 8/31/2014Great view, but a little disappointing to be sitting dressed up and paying for pricey dinner with people (hotel guests) parading thru dining area (and some dining in) in swimwear. Service was spotty. We were served almost 30 minutes after the four top next to us and they ordered after us. Also there were many open tables yet they seated us directly next to another party even though we had told them we were celebrating our anniversary.Special Features:
- Well worth the expenseBluewolfmoonDined on 8/31/2014I decided to have one splurge on my otherwise rather fiscally responsible vacation to St. Louis. So worth it!!. The view from the rooftop was spectacular, and once the maitre d' realised that I was lugging a camera bag around, he set me up with a great table and gave me tips and pointers as to what time the lighting would start to impact the arch. The food was superb and for a change the portions were not overwhelming. I read many reviews say that their portions were small, but in reality they are the correct size that is served elsewhere in the world. The flavour combinations were fantastic and the cocktails matched just as well. Everyone was very attentive, but not intrusive. All in all, a great evening with some wonderful picturesSpecial Features:
- Always good!BQueenDined on 8/31/2014We love it here - friendly, attentive service. Food reliably good. Comfortable inside and out. Always satisfied with our experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday BrunchsunniDined on 8/31/2014My best friend wanted to go out for brunch on her birthday. I had thought about another restaurant but decided to go to cielo . I was glad I did the food and service was excellent. My friend enjoyed her special day. I give this place two thumbs up and a smiley face. If your looking for a great place its worth it. We will definitely be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- delicious food, fabulous viewDeniseDined on 8/29/2014What a great experience. A mini vaca in our own hometown - even if just for the evening.Special Features:
- Fun to Anticipate DinnerrabricksonVIPDined on 8/29/2014We have had great so many experiences at Cielo that we now love to make reservations and then savor the anticipation. The new chef lived up to our anticipation again this time. Seafood and beef were both beautifully prepared. The wine list offered terrific choices, and the sommelier knew his list and helped us pick a white (Gaja) and a red (a 1997 York Creek) that we loved. Very pleasant.Special Features:
- drbridgetDined on 8/23/2014I have been to Cielo many times and have had many wonderful experiences there. I was in this weekend several times, twice for breakfast and once for dinner. The food was extremely salty with 2 of my 3 meals. My guests were impressed with their food as well, but there dinners were quite salty too. Breakfast was great, dinner was slighty disappointing as far as the food went.Special Features:
- food was excellentJennDined on 8/23/2014we had a groupon that was only good for the prix fixe menu which they have changed so there wasn't a lot to choose from- not good if you're a pickey eater like me. stick to the regular menu and you'll be very happy.Special Features:
- Nice atmosphererarelyeatoutDined on 8/22/2014Very well prepared dish. Small servings. We came for a special music event and chose to sit in the bar area. The noise level was not a good fit. The fish we had was good and plated with artistic flair.Special Features:
- LovingitDined on 8/22/2014I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience. I was part of a group of 8 for lunch. My salad was delicious. I have very specific allergies and the service was very accomodating, and I had no allergic reactions from the food. Love the view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love Cielo!IlovestlDined on 8/19/2014The highlight of this restaurant is the atmosphere/view. Their drinks are also delicious and the staff are all so friendly and attentive without hovering over you. Food is great, we usually go for the simple bar menu they have delicious pizza!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cielo is Great!DaveDined on 8/19/2014Cielo has always been my "go to" for business lunches! The food and service has always been consistently great! They recently changed their lunch menu and while prices seemed to increase slightly, the quality of the food and the service continues to be a great value!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

…that my mom passed away. People keep asking me, "How are you feeling about it?", or "Are you going to be okay?" In all honesty, I'm completely fine. It's because I'm happy with every decision I've made over the past year or so. I also have a genuine group of friends out here on the west coast that I can confide in, and who support me. When my mom died, everything seemed to change. The way I look at life, my relationship with others shifted, I was able to see people as they truly were; all of these things happened very quickly after my mom passed.
When my mother was alive, my family consisted of my dad, sister, 2 aunts, 1 uncle, grandmother and 1 cousin; this are my immediate relatives. The people who I call "family" after my mother died, are my dad and my sister. My mother was diagnosed with MS in 1998, and had been confined to a bed for the last 6yrs of her life. So, her death was a surprise at the time, but we knew the path she was on. I was extremely sad, but at the same time, happy that she wasn't in the bed anymore. Allow me to explain.
The evening my mom died, I was in Las Vegas and everyone else was in Beaumont, Tx. I called my dad sobbing and asked him if he and my sister were able to hold off the funeral for a week. I was going out of the country for the first time and my mother was so happy that I was going. He said, "Yes, of course. It's okay with me and your sister. We'll have the funeral when you get back and you can fly down." Perfect! The next morning after I got out of yoga class, I have numerous texts/phone calls from my aunts and my sister. I called Jesika (my sister) and she told me, "Maw maw just called me and said, 'If you hold us hostage with this funeral, we're never speaking to you again and you're out of the family'" I can't BEGIN to tell you how angry I became. I then called my aunt Jeanette and spoke to her because the other two women wouldn't answer their phones. She began to lecture me on how this was not my decision; who am I to tell them, who am I to say, etc….
Okay, it had been less than 24hrs since my mom died. MAYBE it was a little insensitive of me to have everyone waiting; I wasn't thinking clearly. So, I told her, "Have your funeral, do what you need to do. Because, I'm not going to see my mother in some box." Even after I told her this, she kept trying to pester me about how wrong I was and that I should be showing more support to them, etc. So I told her, "Jeanette, Shut UP! Shut the FUCK up! This is not about you!". She then quickly hung up on me. That was the last time I spoke to either aunt.
My grandmother told me how disappointed in me they all were and they weren't sure if they could forgive me for such an outrageous comment. They all tried to make me feel bad that I wasn't sobbing my eyes out nonstop like they were. They didn't understand that I had already made peace with everything, and that it wasn't out of disrespect. They didn't get it. I don't regret cursing at my aunt because I did nothing wrong. I had strong emotions, and I expressed them. It was weird how they made my mother's death about them. They never once asked how my sister and I were doing. Not once. After the funeral, apparently they had their own gathering at my grandmother's house and left my dad, the widower, at his home with 3 other people. But, I was the disrespectful one.
Death can bring out the worst in people sometimes, and people will show their true colors. Just you wait! I can honestly say that I am no longer angry with these women anymore. I haven't spoken to them for a year now. I still wish them well, but no longer call them my family. Relatives or not, I made a decision a long time ago to not surround myself with negative/bad people. And you shouldn't either! They'll only bring you down.
Family doesn't just have to be blood relatives. I have friends who know the real me more than my relatives ever did. And, for that, I am grateful.
I love you mom, dad and Jes. And the rest of you….You know who you are!

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A person familiar with the investigation says five members of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board have been told to resign or face misdemeanor charges of violating the state Open Meeting Act.
The person who is familiar with the details of the offer told The Associated Press about the proposal Wednesday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the deal publicly.
Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater in July began investigating allegations that the board violated the law by considering early release requests for inmates without proper public notification.
No charges have been filed and board members say they acted legally under their authority to commute sentences.
Prater declined comment, as did Mack Martin, attorney for the board.

Gmail charged as the worst offender.
Android tablets are expected to become the leading devices on the market by 2015, taking over from iPad's leading sales, according to IDC.
However, ZDNet says Android Honeycomb for tablets didn't cope well when it was first launched, often crashing before eventually getting stabilised by Google. Now, history seems to be repeating itself with Honeycomb's successor, Ice Cream Sandwich.
Results show that Google apps will crash at least two-three times a day when using Android ICS-powered tablet, the ASUS Transformer Prime.
It's hardly the kind of experience users will be wanting when using the tablet's quad-core power, though it seems the blame can't be attributed to ASUS, as the Google fault runs on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 too.
Additionally, Gmail is highlighted as the worst kind of Google offering, crashing the most out of others, ejecting the user to the home screen.
Meanwhile, the Chrome Beta browser, Google+ and Google Voice are also noted as being riddled with errors.

|Habitat relationships of seven breeding bird species in the Leon River Watershed investigated at local scales
|Juarez Berrios, Edwin Alfredo
|Over the past 100 ?150 years Texas rangelands have dramatically changed from native open savannahs to dense woodlands . On the Edwards plateau , a major management concern is the increasing encroachment of Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei ) . Preceding an anticipated brush management program , I investigated the presence , co -occurrence , and habitat relationships of 7 breeding bird species in the Leon River Watershed in central Texas , USA : black -capped vireo (Vireo atricapillus ) , golden -cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia ) , northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus ) , white -eyed vireo (Vireo griseus ) , Bell ?s vireo (Vireo bellii ) , painted bunting (Passerina ciris ) , and brown -headed cowbird (Molothrus ater ) . Vegetation characteristics were compared between sites occupied by each species and unoccupied sites using univariate analysis . Models for predicting species site occupancy were developed (using logistic regression ) based on habitat characteristics correlated with the presence of each species . Two species of special concern , the endangered black -capped vireo and golden -cheeked warbler occupied 5 .6 % of sites and 13 .8 % of sites respectively , while the brood parasite brown -headed cowbird was the most widespread , occupying 86 .8 % of sites . Species co -occurrence patterns revealed significant associations between the golden -cheeked warbler and each of 5 other species . For most species , variables included in habitat models could be explained by knowledge of species known habitat associations . For example , the black -capped vireo was positively associated with increasing low -growing ( <1 .5 m ) hardwood cover and with Low Stony Hill ecological sites . The golden -cheeked warbler was positively associated with increasing density of larger juniper trees , increasing variability in vertical vegetation structure , and decreasing midstory canopy of deciduous nonoaks (e .g . , cedar elm [Ulmus crasifolia] ) . It also preferred Low Stony Hill and Steep Adobe ecological sites . Site occupancy seemed to be driven by variables that describe overall vegetation structure . In particular , cover of low -growing non -juniper vegetation and juniper tree density appeared to be important in determining site occupancy for several species . Although the models constructed were not very robust , resource managers can still benefit from such models because they provide a preliminary examination of important controlling variables . Managing rangelands to maintain or restore a mosaic of juniper patches and open shrublands are likely to help meet the habitat requirements of these bird communities .
