Recipes: Roast Pork with Vermouth and Olives and Bishop's Bread
Recipes for Roasted Pork with vermouth and broth and for Bishop's Bread.
McClatchy Newspapers
Q. Many years ago The Miami Herald had a recipe for Spanish pork roast. It had to be marinated overnight. The marinade was made up of chicken broth and vermouth. Green olives were put on it and then it was roasted. It was delicious and easy to make.
— Nan Spiegel
A. We have published many recipes for Cuban and Spanish roast pork, but a search of our library did not turn up any with vermouth. If a reader has the recipe, we'll be glad to pass it along. In the meantime, I took the ingredients you mentioned, added some touches of my own, and came up with what I believe is a wonderful recipe. There were no leftovers when I served it.
Roast Pork with Vermouth and Olives
Makes 10 to 12 servings
1 pork loin roast (at least 4 pounds)
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry vermouth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary or sage, or 1/4 teaspoon dried
3 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
Cracked pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives (or to taste)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1. Score any fat on the roast with a knife. Place in glass or plastic container or self-sealing plastic bag. Combine broth, vermouth, lemon juice, rosemary, garlic and pepper. Pour over meat, seal and refrigerate at least 2 hours and preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
2. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. (Return marinade to refrigerator.) Sear meat in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat, turning so all sides are browned. Place fat side up in skillet (or a shallow roasting pan). Spoon some of the reserved marinade over the meat, and roast until a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees (2 1/2 to 3 hours), basting occasionally with marinade. Do not baste the last hour of cooking and discard any unused marinade. During the last hour, add olives to the pan.
3. Remove the cooked roast from pan and cover with foil. Skim fat from the pan juices, and add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and add to pan, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, until thickened. Slice pork and serve with gravy.
Q. A few years ago you printed a recipe for a breakfast bread or coffee cake with buttermilk, cinnamon and pecans in it. I don't remember what you called it. It was delicious and I lost the recipe.
— Janet Baker
A. Those ingredients are in Bishop's Bread, a quick bread of the 19th century American frontier, when settlements often were visited by traveling clergymen. "The Better Home and Gardens Heritage Cook Book" (out of print) tells a legend about it: "One early Sunday morning a circuit-riding bishop in Kentucky dropped in on one family unexpectedly for breakfast. The resourceful hostess invented quick fruit bread for the occasion and named it Bishop's Bread in honor of her guest." Some versions add chocolate chips (1/2 to 1 cup) with the fruit.
Bishop's Bread
Makes 2 small loaves, 12 slices each
2 1/2 cups flour, plus some to coat pans
1 3/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup raisins, currants or other dried or candied fruit
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans.
2. Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in nuts. Remove 1/2 cup of the mixture and set aside. Mix baking soda into remaining flour mixture, then beat in buttermilk and eggs. Stir fruit into batter just enough to moisten.
3. Scrape batter into prepared pans, and sprinkle with reserved flour mixture. Bake about 35 minutes, until loaves test done. Remove from pans and cool on a cake rack.

Inspired by Little Golden Books
Did you know that UPPERCASE's spines were originally inspired by Little Golden Books? I've always loved their eye-catching golden spines and wanted my magazine to have a similar recognizable shelf presence, even when displayed spine out. Using a silver foil for issue 23's spine brings that idea full circle. It's nice when childhood inspirations still apply to your adult life!
ReWorks Monthly Recycling Challenge
I'm pleased to introduce a new face and new monthly feature to the UPPERCASE blog. Solita Work is the proprietor of ReWorks Upcycle Shop in Calgary's Inglewood neighbourhood. Solita uses the skills she honed during years in graphic and exhibit design to curate and style the spacious and eclectic shop. Everything in the shop is made with some form of recycled, upcycled, repurposed or reclaimed material. You'll find coat racks made from old rails spikes, purses from vintage license plates or a cast iron tub transformed into a cozy sofa. The business reduces waste, but also inspires people to redefine their understanding of waste.
"It is so exciting to see how far artists, designers and crafts people have come in finding ways to reuse materials originally destined for our landfills," says Solita. "Not only does the shop bring in talent from around North America but also gives me the opportunity to continue to be creative through in-house product development, graphic design, retail displays and community connections."
In its third year, Solita has big plans for her shop, hoping to rearrange the configuration to make way for a "making area" which will allow her to do sewing and make objects for the store. The new studio area will also be available for makers-in-residence to create their own work or be inspired by the treasure trove of interesting objects and textiles that she as amassed in her back-room storage. Word has gotten out that Solita likes to find uses for discarded things, so she has often been the recipient of good quality items that need some TLC before they become new products. Last week when I visited the shop, Solita showed me some opaque glass bottles that were previously emblazoned with branding. She's experimenting with sandblasting new designs and illustrations to upcycle them into new products that will be available for sale in the shop. Solita thrives on the challenge.
This brings us to the ReWorks Monthly Recycling Challenge. Every month, Solita will post an old item to be recreated into something new. She will pick her favourite entries and share them here along with the following month's challenge. If she likes the idea enough, she may even offer to help you develop it into a viable, new product for sale in Reworks Upcycle Shop.
ReWorks Monthly Recycling Challenge: Blue Jeans
This month's challenge is to create something wonderful from an old pairs of blue jeans. Blue jeans are a durable staple item in just about everyone's closet. Inevitably, blue jeans will rip or tear at the knee or a pocket but that doesn't mean that there isn't still lots of good fabric left over for repurposing. Show us what you can do with that leftover fabric!
I have included a few examples to help get your inspiration flowing. Blue jeans have already been made into comfy pillows, a wildly creative bear rug and a colourful hand bag. I look forward to seeing what you make.
To enter the challenge, please email good quality digital photographs of your creation (800 pixels wide at 72 dpi) to firstname.lastname@example.com. Entries must be submitted on or before the last day of the month to qualify for the challenge. Entries must also include your name, contact information and a brief description of your creation. If you have any questions about this challenge, please direct them to Solita at the email listed above. UPPERCASE is not involved in the administration or adjudication of this challenge.
Hervé Tullet's new book, Mix it Up
If you haven't experienced a book by Hervé Tullet, seek one out. His books offer fun experiences that use the format of the book to play with creative concepts. His latest book, Mix it Up! demonstrates how colours combine to form new colours and tints. It's a great book about mixing paint... and you won't get your fingers dirty!
Hervé is in Toronto next week, leading a hands-on art event for children on Wednesday, October 8. On October 9 at 2 pm he will be drop by Type (883 Queen St W, an UPPERCASE stockist) to sign copies of his new book.
Lisa Congdon's Art Inc.
I'm pleased to be part of the blog tour for Lisa Congdon's just-released book, Art Inc: The Essential Guide for Building your Career as an Artist. I've witnessed Lisa's growth as an artist and I am happy that we have collaborated quite frequently over the years.
In the early days of UPPERCASE, before it was a magazine, I ran a small gallery and bookstore. The exhibitions included artists from around the world, and Lisa was a frequent participant. (During this trip down memory lane, I'l be linking to old posts and articles on an antique version of the UPPERCASE website.) I exhibited Lisa's work as early as 2006, for the Big Little Show.
Her work at the time was mostly collage-based, with touches of painting and geometric decoration. In 2008's Old School exhibition and book, I sent artists packs of school-related ephemera for inspiration and inclusion in artworks. Lisa's submission in a shadow box was one of my favourites. (Old School is out of print, but you can see more here.)
The vintage ephemera of her early collages would later play an integral role in our biggest collaboration, the publication of the book A Collection a Day. In 2010, Lisa embarked on a year-long project to document her collection daily online through photos and the occasional drawing of arrangements from her curious collections. I began following her daily blog post right from the beginning and for months I thought to myself, "This would be an amazing book." I was expecting a baby that March and put the idea aside thinking that some big publisher would swoop in! But even late nights with a new baby couldn't dampen my interest and to my great pleasure, Lisa agreed to publish the book with me!
At 448 pages, this thick tome of a book is packaged in a collector's tin where you can keep your own little collections. Full of vintage ephemera, inspiring typography and curious oddities, A Collection a Day is a highlight of the UPPERCASE library.
So that brings us to 2011 and the release of Collection a Day. Meanwhile, Lisa's illustration career was on at full speed. Lisa was also a profiled artist in 2011's Work/Life 2: the UPPERCASE directory of illustration.
Fast forward to fall of 2013, Issue 19, and UPPERCASE magazine featured Lisa's travel sketchbook from a trip to Iceland. She also wrote and photographed an article about Alvar Aalto for that issue.
Over these years, Lisa has learned a lot. She is someone who pushes herself to learn, to improve, to explore uncharted territory. She has shared the stories of her high and lows, the ups and downs, on her blog in her forthright and personal style. With the release of Art Inc., she has created a precise and inspiring guide on how to make a career as an artist. Published by Chronicle Books (and illustrated by Work/Life 3 artist Karolin Schnoor), Art Inc. is the go-to companion for advice on how to start your journey as a professional artist... and how to stay motivated and to grow your artistic practice as you mature in your art.
Many congratulations to Lisa on adding 'published book author' to her long list of creative accomplishments. I'm honoured to have worked with you so many times along the way.
Art Inc. is available to purchase directly from Chronicle Books or wherever books are sold. The other books mentioned are by UPPERCASE and available in my shop (if they're still in print). Lisa has signed copies of A Collection a Day in her Etsy shop as well.
A French diversion to enjoy
"It is almost impossible for me to create without colour."
Columbian artist Ximena Escobar has taken the concept of paint by numbers into a completely different medium. By cutting up coloured felt, she assembles portraits of beautiful women with florals. "This medium is very special to me because the colours also have texture and that makes my work richer and more interesting," she explains. "It is a medium where I can't mix the colours, every one of them is a solid block, so I need to use them in a way I can blend the colours without mixing them. That challenges my work and takes me to some interesting and exciting results."
"Colour is a very important element in my work. It defines the mood of what I am creating, it is also the way I communicate my aesthetic no matter which medium I'm using. Colour inspires and challenges me all the time."
"Colour is part of what I am as an artist. I was born in Colombia which is a very tropical and colourful country. It is almost impossible for me to create something without colour, it is how I communicate what I want to say."
Ripe bananas and other outtakes from issue 22
Cover artist Shelley Davies was wonderful to work with. And she is always so generous with her creativity! Above's an "outtake" called Ripe Banana.
I asked Shelley to make the collage for the cover because of her affinity for working with paint swatches, her love of incorporating type into her work and her overall exuberance for bright colour. Here are some more colourful compositions from Shelley.
Here are some roughs that Shelley made when working on the cover. We decided that the radiating colour wheel was more dynamic, but these studies are nice on their own!

Jason Taylor's Everyday Objects
Jason Taylor was featured in Issue #21, and has an exhibition this week at The Harley Gallery from June 11 to August 10, 2014.
Here is an excerpt from Fun with Function written by Vinciane de Pape.
Jason Taylor is an established, UK-based artist and industrial designer whose innovative work plays with the form and function of readymade objects. His line of lighting and furniture designs has been sold internationally and exhibited in museums and art galleries around the world. Jason brings an artistic sensibility to his design process and enjoys the restrictions and challenges of creating unconventional products inspired by mundane objects.
Finding early on that he enjoyed manipulating and inventing simple designs from objects like tin cans, Jason pursued an education in design to follow his passion for experimentation and to further develop his skill set.
"I chose to do a 3D design course because of the techniques I could learn in different materials, but the focus was mainly on functional objects," he explains. "An object would become my starting point and I developed different paths I could go down, such as developing a different function for it or remaking it in a different material."
Somewhat frustrated with the compromises required by the commercial side of product design, Jason decided to go back to what he does best—experimenting with objects. This is when his Everyday Objects project came to life.
"I learned with a previous project that I could be more productive than I thought, and I also enjoyed the sculptural side," Jason describes. "But what would be the reason and how could I make myself do it? I had seen other people do everyday photography projects and then thought of the double meaning of 'everyday objects' and I had to go for it."

family snapshots of yesteryear by Rihannon Adam
Rihannon Adam is an artist who lives and works in London, England. She attended Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and also the University of Cambridge. She recently released her new book called Dreamlands / Wastelands, a collection of photographs taken on expired Polaroid film in the resort towns of Margate and Benidorm.
"I've always been interested in 'the holiday destination', partly down to my unusual upbringing aboard our boat, Jannes. While sailing, we spent a lot of time in coastal holiday locations stocking up on supplies. Most people that we met there assumed we were on holiday, like them, rather than our nomadic existence being a lifestyle choice," says Rihannon in her book.
Here is an excerpt written by Rihannon from Dreamlands / Wastelands:
"MARGATE Mar – Gate. Gateway to the sea. Though I hated living on our boat, I still love the sea and am always drawn back to it. It also hard to avoid when living in the UK – drive in any direction and you eventually hit water.
Somehow Britishness relates to being an Island nation, having an indefatigable spirit, and being determined to make the best of what we have. There is nothing more British than standing on a beach in gale force winds with your toes buried in cold clammy sand having a 'good time'. Or sitting in a parked car with a thermos, the windscreen wipers brushing away the tears of another summer downpour.
Margate is a place that most of us have heard of. It is the poster child British seaside town, its name synonymous with childhood memories of swimming in water that's just a bit too cold, of buckets and spades, ice cream, deck chairs and donkeys. Its history riddled with familiar pairs: mods and rockers, Chas and Dave, Del Boy and Rodney, highs and lows, boom and bust. We all have our own Margate – you can find one on every British coast.
This project explores what is beautiful about Margate - then, and now. Shot entirely with expired Polaroid film echoing family snapshots of yesteryear, these pictures show what a good old-fashioned British holiday resort looks like on the cusp of resurgence. Polaroids imbue a cultural cellular memory and nostalgia for all of the millions of childhood moments spent 'beside the seaside, beside the sea'.
The film is now extremely expired causing imperfections, bearing resemblance to the scars of passing time and memories transforming, blurring the boundaries between past and present. These effects also mirror the cracks and decay that permeate the walls of every British resort town. These photographs are my memories, your memories, our memories.
Even after a recession, a change in taste, and the advent of cheap flights and package holidays abroad, Margate is still beautiful when the sun shines."

scrapbooked ephemera items by Mr. Ned
Mr. Ned (aka Ned Jolliffe) is an illustrator and designer from Oxford, England whose work can be seen on book covers, magazines and theatre posters. He has been compiling a scrapbook for about 10 years in which he pastes his collected ephemera items. "Juxtaposing a new bit or bob in its pages makes me very happy; It's not finished - there's lots of pages blank, and I fear the thing will disintegrate before I complete it," says Ned.
"It's small, squarish little thing that has grown stout over the years from absorbing little ephemeral treasures as I trudge along the streets of wherever I happen to be at the time. My scrapbook is the one possession I would rescue from the raging flames."
To see more of Mr. Ned's work, take a look at his portfolio here.

10,000 gorgeous books, bound in batik fabrics with foiled spines
On my first day of grade seven, my teacher, after handing out our math text books, asked us to wrap them in craft paper to protect them from the inevitable wear and tear they would endure throughout the year. UK-based artist Yinka Shonibare has taken the textbook request to the extreme.
A new installation called The British Library has opened at the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery Until May 25, visitors can see 10,000 books that have been covered with wax batik fabric that Yinka designed himself. Yinka's hope for the library was to make visible the cultural influences of colonization, and to celebrate immigrants and their contributions to British Culture.
Book artist Louise Best helped wrap some of the thousands of books in bright Dutch and African fabrics. "Those colours contributed to our happiness and well being as well as all the mugs of tea, chocolate bourbons and custard creams we consumed for 8 hours a day. It was a great job and expertly executed even if I do say so myself. I'm in my element surrounded by books, fabric, glue and scissors. And nice people," said Louise.

the Happy Happy Art Collective
After all taking the Make Art That Sells e-course in 2013, the ladies of Happy Happy Art Collective decided to form a group to support their common artistic goals and promote their work.
Happy Happy members Lauren Minco and Tammie Bennett are busy making preparations, and are on their way to SURTEX, while Denise Holmes, Emily Balsley, Jill Howarth, Pauline Grayson have been taking on exciting jobs and new clients.
Lauren has some excellent advice on her blog about preparing one's portfolio for the big event:
"If you're doing Surtex, you definitely need enough art to actually show. Unlike other markets such as editorial and publishing, you don't just have examples of your work to show clients as examples of your skill…you make art beforehand that a company looks at and says "that would make a great XYZ! We'll take it!". Sure, there are still jobs in the industry that artists are commissioned for, but much of your work is made beforehand and is then available to license as you show your portfolio.
Because of this, some people have hundreds and hundreds of pieces (sometimes even more!) depending how long they've been in the game. There are a lot of opinions about how many pieces or collections of art a newbie should have. I have enough work, but not as much as some of my peers do. However, I know that each piece is solid and nothing is filler. So even if an art director comes up and only has time to see a few pages out of my portfolio, I know they are gonna see my best work."

SURTEX 2014: Elizabeth Olwen
SURTEX is the only business-to-business marketplace where art buyers and licensees from around the world converge to discover unique, cutting edge surface designs, original art, and design resources. Held in New York from May 18-20, artists and designers will set up trade booths with the hopes of making new contacts, learning about the latest trends in art and surface design, and meeting buyers who are seriously interested in buying or licensing their artwork.
Since many of UPPERCASE's artists who submitted their work to the Surface Pattern Design Guide are either walking the show or setting up a booth, we are featuring some of those hard-working, amazing designers who are adding some finishing touches to their plans, and making their way to New York for the largest industry event in surface pattern design.
Designer Elizabeth Olwen was featured in the UPPERCASE Surface Pattern Design Guide, and you can read a bit about her experience preparing for SURTEX.
"When I decided to do SURTEX, I tried to gather as much information as I possibly could. I read blogs, bought e-books, listened in on SURTEX webinars and spent way too many hours on LinkedIn, then put all of that information through a filter and started to design my whole presentation. My career has been in graphic design up to this point. I've spent years designing brands and presentations for other businesses, so it was such a rewarding experience to put that kind of effort into my own business. I was challenged to create things that I'd never done before: I designed a trade booth, a press kit and a promo video. I had fabrics printed, made a lookbook and put ads in publications. I decided that if I was going to do it, I had to dive in headfirst. When it was all set up, it was thrilling to see the whole package."
Elizabeth Olwen shares her SURTEX story in the UPPERCASE Surface Pattern Design Guide in issue #21. You can read the entire article in the free download of the Guide by clicking here.

text: The 20 most innovative games ever made 20 titles that changed video gaming forever GamePro staff (GamePro) 0 - - - - print email prev next Loading... #13: The Sims Platform: PCYear: 2000 Original review score: 5 out of 5 StarsIn The Sims, players ruled. More of an interactive dollhouse than a literal "game," The Sims tasked players with managing a virtual family. What you actually did with them, though, was completely up to you. Why It Was Innovative: In The Sims, you won't find a storyline, a goal, or a cast of characters. Instead, you'll find a landmark game that allows you to build a virtual world from the ground up and tend to (or torture, or misdirect, or ignore) the denizens living inside it. You could order your Sim to eat, exercise, and pay his bills in order to be happy and popular; conversely, you could simply let him rot in his own excrement and gleefully take screengrabs. This open-ended quality of the game transformed The Sims into a monstrous mainstream hit, partly driven by its success with female players - something almost unheard of in 2000. There was no real way to win at The Sims, but the satisfaction of being an omnipotent voyeur watching over a completely customized simulated life was yet another fascinating innovation from the mind of designer Will Wright.

At 17, Pusarla Venkata Sindhu is still growing rapidly. Not just in terms of height (she is five feet eleven inches tall), but also in stature, in the world of badminton. The gifted shuttler, who learnt her basics under Mehboob Ali at IRISET Indoor Stadium, is already being tipped by India's chief National coach P. Gopi Chand as the next player to watch out for from India.
"She has the talent and the willingness to do that extra bit more in training, just like Saina. This is what separates players like these two from others," says Gopi Chand.
Sindhu, daughter of former volleyball international and Arjuna awardee P.V. Ramana, first caught the attention of the experts when she won the age group title in an event organised by AP Badminton Players Association's Vijayraghavan and Manoj Kumar a few years ago.
Then she joined Dronacharya S.M. Arif and later Gopi Chand, even before he started his academy. "There is no better learning experience than training with players like Saina. She and Gopi are a huge influence on me," says Sindhu.
The World juniors quarterfinal appearance a couple of years ago, the senior National title and Asian under-19 title, to name a few milestones, are reminders of her talent and ability to perform under different conditions.
Sindhu's stunning quarterfinal victory over reigning Olympic gold medallist Li Xuerui in the China Masters may not have been expected, but Gopi Chand believes that she had it in her to raise the bar under pressure.
Even London Olympics bronze medallist Saina termed this young champion's win over Xuerui "as a great effort which should do the young shuttler a world of good in terms of confidence."
Height, an advantage
Sindhu, a B.Com first year student of St. Ann's College (Mehdipatnam) and supported by Olympic Gold Quest and BPCL, is slowly converting her athletic physique into a major plus point. There were serious questions whether her height could be a handicap. But her success rate is proof of how well she is coping.
"I think my height is an advantage especially when I go for those deep returns in the corners. I can't have the same strategy for different players. I need to change as per the challenges that crop up," says a mature Sindhu.
Sindhu joined Gopi Chand at a younger age than Saina and so the results are predictable to some extent. She makes a conscious effort not to invite pressure by imagining herself as a Saina in the making. "I just want to be Sindhu. Though I am a huge fan of Saina's game and commitment," she insists.
At the Gopi Chand Academy, it is a regular sight to see Gopi Chand and Sindhu partnering against Saina in training sessions.
"These things help a lot, for I get to pick up so many important tips. After all, one is a former All England champion and the other India's best women's shuttler," Sindhu concludes.

Second: re: America the Incorruptible
Somehow, when I say, "I hold no brief for the ICC", people keep hearing me say "Support the ICC! Globalism Now! Down with Amerika!"
In my comments boxes, I think I'm now up to the fifth time I've said, "I don't care about the ICC". I don't have a "globalist" agenda except that I'd like to see the Catholic faith spread across the globe. I'm merely pointing out that when a Powerful Interest threatens excommunication against those who are investigating its corruption and says, "Since when is refusing sacraments to which you have no right 'blackmail'?" we tend to assume that "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". But when another Powerful Interest says the same thing about withholding money to nations that threaten its interests, we see not the slightest whiff of suspicion, but a vigorous call for those darned "anti-Americans" to go to hell (as I was told to do in my comments box).
So, to repeat: My point is not "Support the ICC!" It's not even "Power corrupts" (which is untrue, sin corrupts). It's that there are not a few people like my "go to hell!" friend out there who regard any talk of check on American power as a threat and thereby trump their own alleged faith in the doctrine of original sin with an American conservative ideology that, at bottom, rejects the possibility that the human institution called America could ever become an engine of evil in the world. It's simply impossible. We're Americans. We're special. We need no checks on our power.
The article I cited happened to be about one (not very promising) attempt to check American power called the ICC. I linked it not because I have any enthusiasm for the ICC, but because it was an example of the US fighting any checks on its power. Some of my readers appear to have used a stimulus/response method in exegeting my blog on the matter. Stimulus: "ICC". Response: "Go to hell!" Such a reaction doesn't appear to have read a word I said. I must be a "globalist". I used a sentence with the letters "ICC" in it. Theology? Original sin? Oh, that's for religion classes, not the real world.
So, to again, be clear: I hold not brief for any of the institutions that are currently on the table as checks to American power. Indeed, I would say that there is no realistic mechanism of check on American power at present. I suspect Rome's tendency to want to defer to the UN is along the lines of an attempt to help that happen, but I think the UN so corrupt that I'm dubious that this can (or should) happen. But American Conservatives, in my experience, tend to react like like my "go to hell!" correspondent to *any* suggestion of *any* constraint on American power.
That's because this general rule of thumb in American political discourse is true: American liberals find it impossible to believe the fall affects our sexuality, though they find it easy to believe it affects the rich and powerful. Conservatives find it easy to believe it affects our sexuality and hard to believe it affects the richest and most powerful nation in the world. Once again, Catholic theology is at cross purposes with all our human ideologies.
This, again, is not to say "America is evil!" It is to say that America is the creation of fallen humans like every other human creation and therefore stands in grave danger, like all human creations, of becoming an instrument of our appetites and our pride. And the road pride takes to the human heart is *always* to pit the good against the best. America has real and enormous virtues which only an idiot can deny. So did Israel in 70 AD. That's why they refused to believe the warnings Jesus gave 40 years earlier. How could he say those terrible things about a nation that has brought this much good into the world? An ideology that blinds itself, from the outset, to *any* possibility that the creaturely object of its love can do evil is an ideology ripe for disaster.
So no. I wasn't implying the behavior of the US was wrong in rejecting the dubious ICC. I was stating the behavior in the article, which would have set off red flags and klaxons of alarm about "accountability" had bishops done it, set off no alarms at all among conservatives, only an ocassional kneejerk "go to hell!" to anybody who referenced the article, because conservatives basically agree that the US should not be accountable to anybody and that any attempt at imposing accountability is "globalism" and people who talk of it can just go to hell. In other words, my point was about what conservatives are sensitized to, not about the merits of the US case against the ICC.

- The reviews sounded so promisingAliceVIPDined on 11/22/2014The dinner reviews sounded so promising for this place but my husband and I were extremely disillusioned from the start. We got there and the restaurant was very cozy but the host apparently didn't read the notes on our reservation. Even though there were only two other tables occupied the host insisted on recommending a table right next to another table even though we had 6 other choices! My instructions for an intimate setting were completely disregarded. We finally sat down at a table that seemed more private and proceeded to order our food. The host made no mention of my birthday the whole night even though this was clearly described in the reservation notes. Also we had to make a special request to see the wine menu - shouldn't this be provided with the other menus? The wine selection was standard and limited. Nothing too interesting. We ordered the lobster bisque and seafood chowder and four different kinds of tapas. The waiter suggested we settle on only two tapas because the portions are large. We followed his instructions and did just that - lobster roll and hamburger. The soups were extremely well prepared and the chef did a great job of making them light even though cream was used in the recipe. After our soups we got excited imagining our beautiful little tapas on brioche mini buns with unique flavors. When the waiter brought us our "tapas" which resembled full size portions -- we were extremely suprised! The lobster roll was very large and the lobster was sweet and fresh BUT the chef used too much mayonnaise and salt which hid the flavor of the lobster. The side salad used fresh organic mesculun and heirloom tomatoes garnished with pomogranate and oranges served alongside a light Orange vinagrette - delicious! The burger was full size, tough angus and over salted. How hard would it be to use grass fed hamburger or Kobe on mini brioche roles with a nice aioli? Desserts of creme brûlée & blueberry cobbler were good but served at the wrong temperature.Special Features:
- Nice Anniversary DinnerDrGradyDined on 11/7/2014I recently had an opportunity to eat breakfast at the Wild Blueberry while my wife attended a leadership retreat nearby. I was highly impressed. The food was great and service very friendly and attentive. I was so impressed that I made reservations to bring my wife back for dinner. It was a pre-anniversary dinner. While I was impressed at breakfast, I was blown away n a very good way by the candle lit ambiance, food, and service at dinner. The Wild Blueberry is a true gem that I highly recommend.Special Features:
- Nice Meal But . . .jshoopVIPDined on 10/27/2014The food, portions and service were fine but they ran out of two (a soup and an entree) of the 6 daily specials before 7:00! They were still listed on the board outside and in the menu insert but apparently the chef only makes about 4 servings per day. Otherwise, no complaints.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stay AwayMaunderingDined on 10/26/2014Understaffed. Staff that was their had an attitude. Long wait for food and drinks. They never gave us requested water and additional drink. Best part was that they counted a 5 and 3 year old so that they could take a mandatory 20 percent automatic tip.
- Mouth-watering goodness!Jen4Dined on 9/25/2014The Wild Blueberry is always a place I stop to eat at when in town! The seafood paella is mouth-watering! When I tell people about the food, I start to drool just thinking of it! The ambiance is nice and romantic, yet I have been before with a large group that included 4 kids and we were put in another room that was a little livelier than the front room. The place is bigger than it looks.Special Features:
- SandyWeberDined on 9/19/2014What a pleasant surprise finding this restaurant. The food was great and the service was right in. Would not hesitate going back next time I am in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful restaurant!ChezTodayDined on 9/16/2014Dinner before the play at the Ogunquit Playhouse, this was a perfect restaurant choice. Thanks to Open Table for our corner table, from start to finish this was a great dining experience. A full glass of wine, beet salad, lobster fingers, delicious haddock and blueberry cobbler for dessert, it couldn't have been better. Edward, our waiter, was friendly and guided us with all the right food choices. This is a restaurant we will return to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMAZING!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/13/2014We were in Ogunquit for the weekend went to Wild Blueberries both mornings - we could not get enough! The food is fabulous!Special Features:
- Formerly from Napa CAkerryDined on 9/12/2014We originally booked a table for two, but found some friends who wanted to join us. I called the restaurant on the afternoon of the reservation and a very friendly voice responded that a table for four would not be a problem! We were seated immediately and all decided on the specials of the day. Two had a beef rib with polenta and two had haddock. All diners enjoyed their choice. The wait staff were busy but attentive to our needs. The restaurant's noise level allowed for easy conversation and we did not feel rushed.Special Features:
- Relaxing dinnerCarolDined on 9/4/2014The Wild Blueberry is right in the heart of town and easily found; parking is a bit of a challenge if you are not walking from in-town, but the restaurant does have a driveway you can park in - just call when you get close! The menu was varied and offered more than just seafood, which was appreciated. The lobster fingers wrapped in prosciutto was disappointing - the lobster was overwhelmed by too much prosciutto. The scallops were excellent, served quite hot on a bed of cauliflower puree. The surf and sea was uneven: surprisingly the steak was excellent, but the lobster tail was overcooked a bit. Cocktails were huge and inventive; I recommend the Basil Senorita! The blueberry cobbler with blueberry ice cream was exceptional. No sharing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't reserved after 8PM!MissLandryDined on 8/21/2014Food was perfect, precise, well executed, savoury and absolutely delicious. Generous portions and beautiful presentations. There a lot of love in this food! Not that much in the service... We made a reservation at 8h30 on a thursday night, my mother and I. We finally arrived earlier, at 8. The room was 1/3 full. 20 minutes later we were the only customers left in the room. Staff were taking off the tablecloths, moving the chairs, ... The waiter didn't even offer us a coffee and presented us the check... I consider it pretty rude for a restaurant of that standard. They shouldn't accept reservation after 7h30 if they want to close the restaurant at 9. That said, I still highly recommended this restaurant, but make sure to go there early!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awful is an understatementFoodieMontrealDined on 8/14/2014Had the lobster bisque, which was ok. Ordered the Paela and had to return it to the kitchen: was obviously reheated in the microwave and even if I like spicy, this low grade saffron and the overwhelming quantity of, both, cilantro and dill made this dish plain awful! The waitress offered to bring me something else and I order Haddock Meunière -- overlooked fish, too much lemon juice, but the chef felt the need to "drizzle" way too much olive oil.Special Features:
- JackVIPDined on 8/13/2014Quaint in town eatery. Food was fantastic. Drinks were splendid. Chef Jeff was very cordial and and helpful with food selection. Definitely recommended.Special Features:
- JanelleVIPDined on 8/12/2014This was our first time here and it was wonderful. The food was excellent and our server was very attentive. The homemade desserts were divine!Special Features:
- Beyond BreakfastenjoydiningVIPDined on 8/11/2014You can always find breakfast lines wrapped around this charming porch along Shore Road, and the lunches are wonderful, but dinner was an even greater surprise! The quality of food was excellent and fit for foodies, and the atmosphere warm and inviting in this quaint but rather spacious New England style house. The chances of easily getting in for dinner reservations after this review may not be as simple as we found it at the height of the season, this summer! You are missing out if you don't make a visit! It is tucked away just a little bit on the bend of Shore Road and across from the fire station. Parking in the municipal lot behind it also makes it very convenient. Do not miss their fresh blueberry martinis!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PhilVIPDined on 8/9/2014A nice meal - good service. Food was nicely prepared. Prices were on the high side. Preferred brunch over dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good valueBluestarDined on 8/4/2014We like to go to the Wild Blueberry for dinner and breakfast.We like the choice of breakfast including the delicious blueberry pancakes .At dinner we had a delicious lobster bisque,A very good entrée of pan- seared scallops and another one of haddock. The service was attentive.We will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Meal!katie1Dined on 8/2/2014Congratulations to the chef! This was by far the best meal we had during our stay in Ogunquit. My husband enjoyed the paella with saffron rice and ate just about every grain. He said it was the best paella he ever had. I enjoyed the halibut and was equally delighted. I think we sent the plates back empty to the kitchen. Please try the cold lobster/ avocado appetizer with citrus. It was amazing! I would love to know how to make it. When my husband asked for a watermelon martini, the bartender had never made one before, but asked how it was done. My husband was happy to tell her, and she made a lovely one just for him. Also appreciated the mojitos - delicious. The chef actually came out as we were leaving, so we had an opportunity to meet himSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KarenVIPDined on 8/1/2014Great food and service. Nice music in the evening.Special Features:
- Happy but unhappy food thrown outyrlyogonquitvacationersDined on 8/1/2014Food was delicious and the staff friendly but a gentleman that didn't speak English took our plates and we asked for them to go several times. He kept nodding his head and then stacked the plates with soiled ones:(Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful restaurant in Ogunquit!ljneeVIPDined on 7/27/2014I had only previously had breakfast at the Wild Blueberry, which was always delicious! Great blueberry pancakes! This trip we also had dinner, which was equally as fabulous. I had the scallops. The presentation was gorgeous, with an edible flower on top (which I ate!) and the scallops were fantastic. I love this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone in Ogunquit. Our waitress Paula (lunch and dinner) was excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An Ogunquit delightTMFfromRaleighVIPDined on 7/4/2014There are many fine restaurants in Ogunquit /Perkins Cove; this is one of them. The restaurant is set in a charming old house on Shore Rd., a couple of blocks down from busy Main St. We went for dinner; I recommend the lobster bisque and the honey-soy lacquered chicken. The prix-fix menu is a good value. Wish we had the opportunity to go for brunch because the selections look yummy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- short on wait staff, food below pardisappointedDined on 7/3/2014Not enough staff to cover tables properly. Long wait for cocktails and bread. The lobster fingers were not executed well, not fresh at all. Barely edible. The elderly lady host was very sweet.
- BillBillDined on 6/28/2014A nice quiet dinner for my husband's 50th birthday and before going to the Ogunquit Playhouse. The lobster bisque and shrimp sofrado were excellent. We sat in the front window and had a great experience of people-watching. The service was timely, but one new staff member detracted from that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect spotMamallama24Dined on 6/27/2014Great food, good atmosphere. Met up with an old friend and kids for dinner. Kids menu + fantastic food & wine for the adults. Enjoyed by all. My only caution is the piano player is LOUD - it would be hard to talk at a table in the bar area. Parking is great & you can walk around & see the shops after you eat. We had a great meal/lovely evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JoanVIPDined on 6/26/2014A great location. Prix fixe meal was a great buy. Delicious food. Friendly and efficient service.Special Features:
- RogeneDined on 6/21/2014I was disappointed that the menu reflected in the website is not in the actual menu presented. Wild blueberry should update their menu on the website. My fish was not fully cooked. It was partially raw. When I complaint about it. No apologies were offered. Instead, the manager offere to get me a new order because he said he did not want me to go hungry. I thought that was a bit condescending. I got two fellet of fish and the manager did not include the fish dish in my bill, but I insisted to pay it for I feel bad that the restaurant was not really doing well. The chef was not friendly at all. The bread taste good but the middle part was raw dough. The lobster was dry and tough.
- Easy and elegantShortbeachsgDined on 6/15/2014Lovely time. Paella a bit salty but otherwise all was well!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good dinner at Wild BlueberryJackDined on 4/5/2014Best part of dinner was the service. Dinner was good - not great. Online menu did not match real menu - not even close, and that was disappointing.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet, but perfectPaulVIPDined on 1/18/2014We were in Ogunquit for a weekend getaway. We enjoyed a window seat on a snowy night. Very quiet in the restaurant, but exactly what we needed! Great food and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A musical eveningSinger1Dined on 1/10/2014A great place for those who enjoy dinner and entertainment. The piano/sing-a-long was most enjoyable and everyone was friendly and had a great evening. The local folks who frequent Blueberry are talented and most enjoyable. Food and service complemented the scene.Special Features:
- Off SeasonBubbaGDined on 11/9/2013I think it would be hard to make a judgement on this restaurant being off season. There where only two other parties in the restaurant while we where there. It seemed like a Mom and Pop operation and Pop had no clue as to what was going on!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful SurpriseGayleDined on 10/13/2013We have walked by this restaurant many times and didn't think anything of it. Then I went on the internet and it was listed as fine dining so I looked at their menu and it was amazing!! We immediately made a reservation and everything far exceeded our expectations! It is a diamond in the rough!! The decor is elegant casual. The waiter was attentive but gave us our space. We had a slow dinner with no rushing as we requested. I had the haddock which was unbelievable. My husband had the Seafood which came in a large bowl and over flowing with seafood-clams, mussels, lobster. He said that it was divine!! Oh, we started with salads that were different and tasty. Go there-you will not be disappointed!!!!!!!! Also, reasonably priced !!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing dinnerFood4workDined on 10/13/2013Looking for a great meal while on a family vacation. Was not disappointed. One of the best meals of the trip. Would revisit again and also try their breakfast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent but not specialRovingRobVIPDined on 10/5/2013The dinner was good but nothing very special. We started with the macadamia calamari which was overcooked and too crispy. My haddock was tasty but not outstanding. And something is lacking in the atmosphere. It is extremely simple and lacks the warmth or charm I would expect in a seasonal restaurant next to the ocean. I'm not panning the restaurant, its just not very memorable.
- Best restaurant in Ogunquit, MELyceumLadyDined on 9/29/2013This restaurant is a real find and a well kept secret in Ogunquit. We had dinner and breakfast there and it surpassed our expectations. The menu was diverse, gourmet and very unique. The food was delicious, excellently prepared, and attractive presentation. It's known as a breakfast place but don't miss out on dining at night. For breakfast, the Vegetable Benedict was amazing. It's become our favorite restaurant in Ogunquit, ME.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful brunch and dinner!ConnieDined on 9/25/2013My husband and I had a couple of wonderful meals at Wild Blueberry. We first went there for breakfast and had their wild blueberry panakes. They were very good and the service was good. We returned there for dinner and had an outstanding meal. Our waiter couldn't have been more attentive and he guided us in our selections from the menu. I would recomment this restaurant and we will return the next time we are in Ogunquit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Otherside is closing?
- drewinmrblhd Nov 17, 2011 01:35 PM
Anyone have an inside scoop as to whether they are relocating or are they closing altogether?
Closing. They may reopen if they can find a spot, but it probably won't be a clone of the original.
See: http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/b...
And the gm's comments: http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/42...
Quoth the GM: "We are aggressively looking to open a new place. It will obviously be quite different."
That is unfortunate. We lived closeby for years. The Otherside was (and is) only of the reasonable priced places to get a healthy lunch or breakfast in the Back Bay. The space was a little grungy, but the food was good.
I'm very sad about this, especially as it's making way for a chain furniture store. I'll miss their small but extraordinarily well-selected beer list and the Advanced BLT.
What a bummer! It was a great, reliable place to go when downtown as a vegetarian. It will be sorely missed.
Not sure where we'll go now :(
Would the Otherside be a possible tenant for one of the open spots on Petersborough Street? It would seem to be a good fit in that mix.
The closing date has been pushed back to Jan 28, with $5 drafts until then:
From the Beer Advocate just now via http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/42...
Otherside will NOT be closing, per a facebook post they put up about an hour ago, replete with assurance that it is not a joke. Apparently the deal their landlord kicked them out over didn't go through, and the closing has been called off.
Absolutely terrific news. Congrats guys!

New ransomware CoinVault allows users to decrypt one file for free
Cybercriminals behind a new ransomware program called CoinVault are trying out a new psychological tactic to convince users to pay up—freebies.
The new threat was discovered by security researchers from Webroot and is similar in functionality to more prevalent ransomware programs like CryptoWall. It uses strong 256-bit AES encryption with keys stored on a remote server, it kills the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service so that users can't use it to recover their files and only supports Bitcoin as a payment method.
