:) Crab Cakes Anyone?
I love crab cakes but alas do not eat them often because they are usually just average here in Jersey. The absolute best I've ever eaten were at fish joints on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Made with the delicious blue crabs then deep fried, these babies are my yard stick for comparison.
Now for all you crab cake lovers out there - where can I get cakes as good as the ones described above here in central Jersey? Please DO NOT reply unless you have tasted the real deal crab cakes in Maryland. Thanks much!
I, too, consider myself a connoisseur of fine crab cakes. The best I've eaten are the lump crab cakes at Faidley's in Baltimore, winner of "Best of Baltimore" best crab cake at least a dozen times. They are all hand made by the owner, Nancy Devine. You cannot duplicate them in New Jersey, or anywhere else, for that matter. All lump crabmeat with virtually no filler and deep-fried. You might want to have them flown in, as I do, and cook them yourself. As for crab cakes in New Jersey, I've tried many, many and none can compare. One you may find acceptable: Dock's Oyster House in Atlantic City.
re: elman1952
Are you talking about the place in the market in Baltimore? I remember eating crab cakes at this mega-award winning joint there. Never had crab cakes like that before or since...yum.
re: joonjoon
Lexington Market, Paca Street - About five blocks or so from Camden Yards.
re: MGZ
Faidley's Crab Cakes! They are indeed the best I've ever tasted.
I've had scrumptious crab cakes,and you're right: When they are wonderful they are amazing. I order them all the time and am perpetually disappointed
OK...Ok... No yelling...
I know this isn't what you're seeking but as you continue your search , if you want a tasty crab "fix" you might want to head over to Piero's in Union Beach and have their delicious hot crab appetizer. Not what you seek, but chunks of sweet crabmeat in a tasty very delicious creamy sauce might hold you over until you find those 'cakes...
Please be sure to let us know what you find
Thanks! :-}
re: njfoodies
We split njfoodies' recipe for crab cakes to its own topic on the Home Cooking board. That's where our cooks hang out and share tips on making great food at home, and you'll be passing on your expertise to cooks around the world during the summer blue claw season. The post lives here now: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/520584
We ask everyone to keep the Mid Atlantic board focused on where to source great food locally, whether as raw ingredients, or as restaurant prepared meals. This helps keep your local board most useful for you and your neighbors. Thanks
I lived in Baltimore when I was in school and had my fair share of Faidley's cakes in Lexington Market. I've eaten my share of cakes on the DelMarVa penninsula as well. In NJ, only my Grandmother made a better cake than me and our's start with meat we've caught and cleaned ourselves (she taught me even before I learned to surf!).
That being said, I will endorse the cake at Brandl. The servers may be bitchy, but the man makes a great cake.
Don't know if any of their locations are near you, but Bobby Chez crabcakes are pretty popular in southern NJ.
Here's what Zagat says...
"They have no equal" conclude cognoscenti about the "best" crab cakes "bar none" dispensed from these South Jersey specialists, where followers far and wide "stand in line" for the "legendary" signatures; note that the goods aren't necessarily a bargain, and it's not surprising that the quintet is touted for "takeout" (you can always "cook 'em up at home") given the "basic" decor.
re: Rocket88
Tried a Bobby Chez crabcake yesterday sooooo disappointed.
It was ok but not anything like all the press I have read?!?
re: shabbystorm
Chez's crab cakes are good but not deserving of the hype. Faidley's are much better.
We've had Bobby Chez a few times and they are good. I'm not a big fan however of their cakes that are deep fried. The sauteed cakes are decent, but I don't like the peppers and pimento or whatever it is that they put in them. I want my crab cakes to taste like crab, not like peppers. Regardless, Chez are a good substitute. Many people swear by them, and we frequent the Mount Laurel lcoation from time to time. -mJ
re: njfoodies
Charleys in long branch makes a pretty decent crab cake. Lots of lump meat with minimal filler. The sauce was neither too hot nor too heavy.
re: agruel
Copper Canyon has an excellent crab cake. All very large jumbo lump (or better?) crab meat. Very large, and charged as a loss leader.
re: hotfoodhot
"charged as a loss leader" - how may I ask do you know this? BTW, jumbo or colossal lump is the highest grade of crabmeat.
re: bgut1
Funny, I know. I have this wierd, ocd-like thing with spelling, and as I started to spell c-o-l-o-s-s-a-l (well, I just had to look up at yours, because I actually spelled it with 2 l's!) so, I just wrote the jumbo. Why did I think I could slip that by!! As I said, I have had conversations with some people there who let me know that they didn't apply the usual "mark-up" to that dish and the kitchen often sends it out to impress.
re: agruel
Chef - Thanks you for the reply. Are you also hotfoodhot?
re: agruel
Thanks a lot, chef. I think I can demonstrate my own lack of knowledge without your help. Nice to have seen you at Avenue. Next time, I'll keep my idiosyncrasies to myself. Why didn't you post about your lunch?
re: hotfoodhot
Well, to be honest I didn't post about my lunch for my fear of going against the trends of the Chow Gods.....but if you so desire, and having seen me there, I will. I had the ALT sandwich. Avocado Lettuce and Tomato finished with a creamy goat cheese spread. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. Mind you it was Lunch and they were clearly overstaffed, but I was impressed nonetheless. My mother had the tuna nicoise sandwich, it was served openface and was well dressed, seasoned perfectly and had an ample amount of fresh tuna. I'll be back.
re: agruel
There, now..... that didn't hurt, did it?
re: agruel
I went to Charley's about a month or so ago and had the crabcake. It was good but I noticed more filler than crabmeat.
My favorite crab cakes are the ones to be had at the Captain's Galley on the docks in Crisfield MD.(the "Crab Capitol of the World") they are made they way a true crab cake should be prepared:
1. Blue crab (calinectus sapidus)
2. All jumbo lump
3. No filler. You have to wonder what is holdinging those sweet morsels of crabmeat together.
According to the Captain's Galley site the cakes are made using their grandmother's recipe.
Unfortunately most South Jersey crab cakes are really "Deviled Crab" = claw meat and special meat with the peppers onions etc. They aren't really bad, some of them are quite tastey. Surimi can be tastey as well, but it ain't crab meat. And as far as I am concerned "Deviled Crab" ain't a crab cake.
re: ChrisOC
Is there a particular season for crabcakes in MD? This post is making my want to take a trip...
re: njchowgal
Yes the Chesapeake blue crabs are seasonal. Go here and find out some facts about crabs[ http://www.cantlers.com/maryland-blue... ] then call Cantler's and find out when the peak of the season is. Finally take a trip down there and try one of the local crab restaturants such as Canteler's for the best crab cakes you will ever eat. There is simply nothing like them in Jersey and anyone who suggests otherwise has not been to the Chesapeaek durring crab season.
re: JerzeyShore
Sylvesters on 21st in Avalon, NJ. Awesome crab cakes!!!!
re: JerzeyShore
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This one gets added to my things to do in this lifetime list :)
re: JerzeyShore
With all due respect to Cantler's, there are better: for crab cakes the Narrows on Kent Island are the absolute best in the state of Maryland. For crabs:
Additionally, there are threads on here (i.e. home cooking) which note the recipe for Faidley's and the recipe for the Narrows. At one time Jerry's in Lanham, MD had a fantastic crab cake as well as a crab "bomb" but Jerry's has since been sold. Angelina's on Harford road in Baltimore once had a great crab cake and even better crab imperial. Angelina's was also sold.
The Narrows on Kent Island is the destination you want.
re: Joe H
Joe H, my personal memories of the Chesapeake Bay area and the wonderful crab meals are from about 10 years ago. Canteler's was a great down and dirty place where we pounded on hard shells on top of tables with a brown paper covering and enjoyed the atmosphere as much as the fantastic crabs.
But, you are right they did not have the best cakes.
Maybe you can help me out. My memory of the best fried crab cakes was a place in Saint Michaels right on the water. I recall that we docked right in front ,got off the boat and walked into the restaturant which was right there. I can not remember the name of the restaurant however. Do you know the name?
I would like to plan a trip back down to the Chesapeake when the blue claws are in season. As I indicated above there is nothing here in Jersey that even comes close to the Maryland crab experience. Thanks for your reply and the links provided above.
re: JerzeyShore
Probably the Crab Claw in St. Michael's but if you are coming on a boat you REALLY want to go to Waterman's which I wrote about. It is a legend and regarded by a number of sources (i.e. magazines, tv stations, etc.) as Maryland's best overall crab house. Coming from Jersey Rock Hall is a bit closer also. http://www.watermanscrabhouse.com/home/ Cantler's has a great deal of atmosphere, as does the Crab Claw and Stoney's on Broome Island, etc. But Waterman's has probably the best atmosphere of all along with a number of sides that are particularly good. Suicide Bridge is also an excellent alternative.
With all these posts, I'm a little surprised no-one's mentioned Grabbe's Seafood in Westville, NJ. It's a funky old bar that serves great seafood, and makes especially good crab cakes. They have an excellent source of fish and shellfish--out in back is their own seafood store.
Don't be afraid of the way it looks- the building probably won't fall down while you're there.
It's South Jersey, not Central, but might be worth a trip.

re: shabbystorm
I went to school in MD for a time and would recommend Mr. Shrimp in Belmar for a good crab cake. Not AS good as MD, but will fill a craving without the drive.
The crab cakes at Morgan Fishery on rt 35 in Sayreville are/were quite good but not of the Md caliber. I have heard, however, that the place has recently changed hand. I recently had crab cakes in NOLA, Mobile and Savannah. Average at best, too much flavored breading, or was it stuffing? We came up rt 13 on DELMARVA, but found no shacks. What did we miss?
Stopped at Caffe Aldo Lamberti Cherry Hill NJ for one of their Zucchini Crabcakes.
Pulled into the parking lot, saw the Bentley's, only had flip flops on, no proper shoes LOL
In any case, this was all lumb crab meat with a thin layer of zucchini on top, with a touch of bread crumbs on each side, lightly seared, served over a bed of baby spinach. Good, but not mind blowing.
Side Note: They serve some amazing olives, Maybe Castelvetrano - Noccellara del Belice - WOW~ Gimme More!!
Any one tried Back Bay Crabcakes - Collingswood NJ
I grew up eating and picking crabs and probably consumed more by age 10 then most people do in a lifetime. In fact I was a commerical crabber in South Jersey in my youth. Having eaten crab up and down the East coast I have to say Bobby Chez's crab cakes are the best (next to my grandmother's) not just in Jersey but on the East Coast.
I am a bit puzzled by all the posts that rave about Maryland Maryland crabcakes. For staters, very few crabs are pulled out of the heavily polluted Chesapeak Bay so 80% of the crabs they serve you in MD as MD crabs are actually from LA, NC, SC, and yest to you Jersey haters NJ. Second, and this is just my opinion, a MD crabcake features mayo as a binder which I believe masks the crab taste (and I personally hate mayo so I may be a bit biased here) so I am partial to any recipe that forgoes glopping up the delicious crab meat. If you want pure crab with little binder, filler, and flavors that mask the crab then try Bobby Chez's.
ps. Don't be fooled by the mythical hype about a MD crab tasting better than any other blue crab it is all marketing bunk!
re: Foodphanatic71
I agree with Foodphanatic71. I have family in Maryland and have had MD crabcakes many times. They are nothing special....
re: reeree
Interesting. Where do I go to find "Bobby Chez's" crab cakes?
re: Joe H
Hi JoeH
Bobby Chez's - there are seven locations in NJ and Philadelphia.
The day we tried them, went to the Cherry Hill NJ location.
Definitely post and let us know your experience.
Hope this helps.
re: shabbystorm
The photos of it looked like it is fried. I prefer a broiled crab cake. Still, it is definitely worth pursuing. Thank you very much.
re: Joe H
I believe you can get them fried, baked, broiled (not sure though).... Haven't had a Bobby Chez in a while but my memory is a good one. I know of BChez lovers and those who... not so much. I just think the "Crab Cake" is such a personal endeavor. You can not please everyone as... EVERYONE... has their own opinion as to what makes one ultimately 'suberb'. In the meantime...it's fun tasting your way to your favorite!
re: Foodphanatic71
Sorry, I have to disagree. The crab cakes I've had in NJ are good, but they don't come close to the ones from Box Hill in Bel Air, MD. Almost 100% crab, large pieces. No mayo that I noticed. Very little binder.
re: Foodphanatic71
I agree with you about Bobby Chez, Foodphanatic. I've lived in NJ for 6 years and have tried many a crabcake, but so far Bobby's is the best. Trouble is, although Bobby has several NJ locations, none is nearer than about 35 miles from us.
re: MichelleM131
Thanks for your update, much appreciated ...
mud city crab house in manahawkin won people's choice award at the jersey shore crab cake cook off! the lines were unbelievable for the jumbo lump crab cake. they are seasonal but they have a little spot that will be open year round for crab cakes in Lacey mud city crab cake company. The Philadelphia enquirer review by Craig Laban called them the king of the crab cake and NJ monthly has awarded them best crab cake in the past..

We first reported back in December that Veganism and mindful eating was having a moment with Beyoncé and Jay Z taking up the 22-vegan challenge in what they called a "spiritual and physical cleanse". And they're not alone. Gywneth Paltrow is a huge fan, as well as Anne Hathaway, Bill Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres and the gorgeous Natalie Portman, who have all given up on meat and dairy for personal, health or environmental reasons.
And now brilliant new cookbook Isa Does It promises to blow any remains of Veganism's hippie mung-beans-and-patchouli-oil rep right out of the water. In it chef and Queen-Of-All-Things-Vegan Isa Chandra Moskowitz, pictured above, shows you how everyone can make simple, delicious vegan meals from scratch for every day of the week. There's over 150 mouthwatering dishes to choose from, including Sweet Potato Red Curry with Rice, Kale Bistro Beet Burgers and Orange Chocolate Chip Cake, all using supermarket-friendly ingredients. And if you've still wavering, try her two recipes for Smoky Incan Stew and Strawberry And Cream Bread Pudding, below.
And for those who are thinking about taking up veganism, we asked Isa some burning questions>>
1. How hard is it really follow really a vegan diet? Don't you miss meat and dairy?
Isa: 'It's easy. I've been at it for a while now, so it's easy for me. I don't miss meat or dairy nor do I get any cravings that I can't satisfy with vegan ingredients. It's so important that you love what you eat and feel satisfied, and that is really why I started writing cookbooks. To make it easy for everyone!'
2. What do you eat when you're out for lunch, and how do you tackle restaurant menus?
Isa: 'It depends where I am. I love to travel and try all the vegan options in different cities. But where to begin with what to eat at restaurants? Thai, Indian, Italian, Ethiopian, Vietnamese, Pizza, Burgers, you name it. Not to mention so many restaurants offer special vegan menus and then of course there are vegan restaurants.'
3. Did you lose weight when you first started?
Isa: 'Nope. Veganism is not a weight loss diet, neither is it a fad diet, It's really an ethical choice. I went vegan because I love animals and wanted to do something good for the planet. People started viewing it as a weight loss diet a few years ago, and I think that's cool in that it gets people to even consider it, but it also makes people think that they can't indulge if they are vegan. Case in point: I wrote a book about vegan cupcakes! Those certainly are not diet food. Just because you're vegan doesn't mean you ever have to miss out on anything, even cupcakes. On the other hand, going vegan does tend to get you into amazing nutritious foods, like kale and quinoa and every manner of veggie under the sun.'
Isa: 'If you put quinoa in something it automatically becomes Incan. Did denizens of Mesoamerica sit around eating stew day and night? Probably not, but I really needed to shorten the name, because Quinoa, Black Bean & Chipotle Stew with Sweet Potatoes & Corn would spill off the page! This stew gets its smokiness from chipotles. Quinoa and black beans make it hearty and filling, and sweet potatoes add a naturally sweet touch. If you can, use fresh corn instead of frozen because it's really worth it here. Since it's added at the end, you get a fresh, snappy bite from each kernel.'
Serves: 6 to 8 * Total time: 45 mins * Active time: 20 mins
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- ¾ teaspoon salt, plus a pinch
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup chopped chipotles in adobo sauce, seeded
- ¾ Cup quinoa (red quinoa looks prettiest)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾–inch chunks
- 1 ½ cups corn kernels, preferably fresh
- (see page 181; but frozen is okay)
- 1 (15–ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and juice reserved, tomatoes crushed into pieces (see Note)
- 1 (15–ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (1 ½ cups)
- ½ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, chopped
- Preheat a 4-quart pot over medium heat and add the oil. Sauté the onion in the oil with a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chipotles, quinoa, broth, remaining ¾ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Let boil for 7 minutes, until the quinoa is almost ready.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and add the sweet potatoes. Cover the pot and simmer for about 12 minutes. The sweet potatoes should be tender and the quinoa fully cooked. Add the corn, tomatoes, black beans, and cilantro and simmer for about 7 minutes, just until everything is heated through. It tastes best if you let it sit for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to marry. You may need to add some of the reserved tomato juice to thin it out to your liking. Serve hot.
Isa: 'Working with chipotles can be a serious pain in the butt, but they're worth it! Slice them lengthwise with a paring knife, then scrape the seeds out with the back of the knife and discard. It's okay if you don't get absolutely every single seed out; just do your best. The less seeds, the less heat, which means you can add more chipotles for maximum smokiness and flavor, keeping the spiciness pleasant. You're bound to have extra chipotles. You can store them in a plastic bag in the fridge and use within a week, but it's unlikely that you'll be using chipotles twice in one week. What I like to do is store them in plastic and freeze. That way, whenever a dish could use a little spicy kick, I just break off a little frozen piece of chipotle.'
Isa: 'Sometimes I stare at my bakery–fresh bread with laser eyes, trying to make it a little bit stale so that I can make bread pudding. It doesn't usually work. But there is no better use for day–old bread than bread pudding! This version is rich with coconut milk and juicy sweet strawberries bleeding into the batter. It's so creamy and berrylicious. Serve warm with a little coconut–based vanilla ice cream for added decadence.'
Serves: 8 * Total time: 1 hour * Active time: 20 mins
- 6 cups 1–inch–cubed day–old bread
- (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup almond milk (or your favorite non–dairy milk)
- 3 tablespoons organic cornstarch
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced ¼ inch thick
- Optional glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil, melted
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan.
- Place the cubed bread in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk with the cornstarch to dissolve. Mix in the coconut milk, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour over the cubed bread and stir to coat. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to let the liquid soak into the bread.
- Fold in the strawberries, then pour into the pan and spread so that it's relatively even.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and feels firm to the touch. Allow to cool a bit on a cooling rack, then serve warm. Drizzle with glaze, if using.
- For the optional glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a large bowl. Add the almond milk, vanilla, and coconut oil and stir until smooth.

Out of the Woman Comes the Man, Spends the Rest of His Life Getting Back When he Can
Yes, women can be acharyas and the topmost devotees of the Lord are the gopis headed by Srimati Radharani, women, but we are not on that level. In this material sphere under the regulations of varnashram (meant for conditioned souls like us) we should take our guidance from the previous acharyas and shastra as to our roles in society. Faith in Srila Prabhupada and the vedic literatures should be the base of discussions, not sentiment and emotion.
This truth may be unpalatable but just because we don't like it, that is no justification to twist the conclusions. The death knell of our ISKCON society will be when we lose our faith in Srila Prabhupada's teachings and the conclusions of the Vedic literatures and start concocting ideas based on the bodily concept of life. Here are a few quotes, out of hundreds, from Srila Prabhupada regarding what should be the role of women in society:
Los Angeles, September 22, 1972
Women, they are generally equipped with the qualities of passion and ignorance, and men may also be, but man can be elevated to the platform of goodness, women cannot be, women cannot be. Therefore if the man is nice and the woman follows, woman becomes faithful and chaste, then their both life becomes successful. There are three qualities of nature: sattva, rajas and tamas. So rajas and tamas, that is the quality of woman. And man can become to the platform of goodness. Therefore initiation, brahminical symbolic representation is given to man, not to woman. This is the theory. Therefore the combination should be that the husband should be first-class devotee, Krsna conscious, and woman should be, woman should be devoted to the husband, faithful, so that she would help the husband to make progress in Krsna consciousness. Then their both life will be successful.
Television Interview July 9, 1975, Chicago 750709iv.chi
Woman reporter: But you say women are subordinate to men?
Prabhupäda: Yes, that is also natural. Because when the husband and wife are there or the father and daughter is there, so the daughter is subordinate to the father and the wife is subordinate to the husband.
Woman reporter: What happens when women are not subordinate to men?
Prabhupäda: Then there is disruption. There is disruption, social disruption. If the woman does not become subordinate to man, then there is social disruption. Therefore, in the western countries there are so many divorce cases because the woman does not agree to become subordinate to
man. That is the cause.
Woman reporter: What advice do you have to women who do not want to be subordinate to men?
Prabhupäda: It is not my advice, but it is the advice of the Vedic knowledge that woman should be chaste and faithful to man.
Woman reporter: What should we do in the United States? We're trying to make women equal with men.
Prabhupäda: I am not trying. You are already not equal with the man because in so many respects, your functions are different and man's functions are different. Why do you say artificially they are equal?
Woman reporter: Is the social unrest in this country caused because…
Prabhupäda: Because of these things. They do not know that.
Woman reporter: And if women were subordinate to men, it would solve all of our problems?
Prabhupäda: Yes. Man wants that woman should be subordinate, faithful to him. Then he is ready to take charge. The man's mentality, woman's mentality different. So if the woman agrees to remain faithful and subordinate to man, then the family life will be peaceful.
Woman reporter: You have different schools for men and women, is that correct?
Prabhupäda: Yes. Man is regulated to become a first-class man, and woman is regulated to become very chaste and faithful wife. Then the life will be very successful. And marriage, compulsory. Marriage, compulsory.
Woman reporter: Everyone should marry?
Prabhupäda: Yes. Every woman, at least, should be married. Therefore, according to Vedic conception, polygamy is allowed.
Woman reporter: Is allowed?
Prabhupäda: Yes. Because every woman must be married. But every man may not be married. Therefore man has to accept more than one wife.
Room Conversation after Press Conference July 9, 1975, Chicago
Women's dependence is described in Manu-samhita. There are many examples cited in the sastra. Kunit was not an ordinary woman. She was very exalted and learned, but she still remained dependent upon her sons. Sita is another example. She was not obliged to follow Rama. But her attitiude was, "Wherever my husband shall go, I must go." This is Vedic culture. According to our culture, unless the husband is crazy, in every case the wife must be faithful and subservient to the husband. That is the Vedic culture. Gandhari, voluntarily blinding herself and Damayanti accepting the poverty stricken position of her husband are other examples. This is a woman's perfection. The Americans may not like this idea but we are speaking of the Vedic culture.

Thank you Praghosa Prabhu for bringing up yet another important and interesting topic for discussion.
In the varnashram system, one of the basic instructions is for ladies to never be given independence.
In their childhood they are to be protected by the father. After that they are given in charity to a suitable husband, chosen by the parents, and in old age they are protected by the eldest son. So in every sphere of life, women are to be protected. In this way, a varnashram system can function peacefully. This is civilized life.
When Srila Prabhupada began preaching in the West, he was faced with the challenge of engaging both men and women in service hence the introduction of the bramhacharini ashram. In actual fact, there is no brahmacharini ashram in the varnashram system. So this begs the question; why did Srila Prabhupada introduce this?
Srila Prabhupada came to the West knowing he had limited time to spread Krishna Consciousness and therefore in order to spread the mission quickly, he made adjustments accordingly. The Acharya preaches according to time place and circumstance, and therefore what Srila Prabhupada did was perfect. We were introduced to these vedic principals like babies. We didn't even know how to clean ourselves properly, or how to eat…just like babies. Just as babies wear nappies (dipers) when they are young…does it mean that as they grow up they have to continue to wear them?
Loose, independent women have and will continue to cause many of the problems our society faces. It is not the women's fault, but it is the ISKCON society's fault in not following the varnashram system.
Varnashram doesn't mean farming, it means following vedic principals of varna and ashram of which one of the most important principals is that men and women should not mix freely. This is the basis of a civilized society. Now in ISKCON we even see discussions back and forward debating whether or not we should allow men and women to hug each other in our society! How far away can we get from what Srila Prabhupada wanted in establishing varnashram?
We see in almost all the temples today, so much interaction between men and women (bramacharis and 'bramacharinis') especially in the West…and we are surprised that, as a society, we are facing so many problems? It is time for ISKCON to grow up and not sink back into hippy life once again.

Maintaining the authority of a spiritual institution in the modern age
«« Back To Stats Page
The only spiritual authorities are Guru and Krishna…Guru in the true sense, meaning one who is 100%
surrendered to Krishna…the pure devotee. As Samba das quoted Srila Prabhupada " "Krishna reveals Himself from within to one who is serious about God realization. Both Krishna and the spiritual master help the sincere soul. The spiritual master is the external manifestation of God, who is situated in everyone's heart as Supersoul. For one who is very serious about understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Supersoul immediately renders assistance by directing him to a bona fide spiritual master."
The GBC cannot play the role of spiritual authority unless they are pure devotees. Being still conditioned souls, they cannot give proper guidance to the living entities. Yes, they can encourage devotees to follow spiritual disciplines, but being conditioned, they cannot deliver the jiva. The GBC's job is to direct and manage the society so that temple programs are running and the devotees are chanting etc. The GBC cannot deliver the jiva. ISKCON cannot deliver the jiva. The jiva is delivered from the bondage of this material tabernacle by the mercy of the real authorities, Krishna and his external representative, the spiritual master…pure devotee.

The Pride are moving on to the second round of the postseason for the second consecutive year.
The Central California Conference volleyball season is over, brought to an end with Monday's cross-town match-up between Pitman and Turlock High. The Pride's 3-0 (25-15, 25-14 and 25-16) defeat of the Bulldogs secured their fourth consecutive CCC title as they finished undefeated in league for the third year in a row.
The Turlock High girls golf team is moving on to the Northern California State Tournament for the first time since 2007, when Emily Szabo made it as an individual for the Bulldogs.
The Turlock High girls tennis team extended its success on Tuesday, beating out Stagg High School, 8-1, Tuesday afternoon as they progress further in the team Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs.
The valley's seemingly endless dry fall ended with a downpour on Friday. As the rain washed away harvest dust, it also took with it Turlock High football's dreams for a Central California Conference title - with just one play.
The Pitman Pride football team picked up another away game victory, beating out the Atwater Falcons, 20-7, in a rainy match at Atwater's home stadium Friday night.
Making the playoffs is a difficult task, but it doesn't seem that way for the Dehli High Hawks. The Hawks clinched a postseason berth for the seventh consecutive season on Thursday after notching a 2-1 win over Southern Athletic League foe Mariposa County High.
Pitman High girls water polo, which had already solidified a spot in the postseason, came in to Thursday's crosstown game against Turlock with a lot of confidence. That confidence was soon shaken, however, when the Bulldogs pulled off a 5-4 victory.
Turlock and Pitman boys water polo teams met on Thursday night at Pitman High for one final Central California Conference showdown.
Hilmar High is two matches away from finishing with an undefeated Trans Valley League record for the second straight year, and only one match away from clinching the outright 2014 TVL title.
Add another accolade and banner to Turlock High.
The Denair High Coyotes varsity football team is still winless in the Southern Athletic League after dropping its fifth straight league match last Friday.
Hilmar High's football team failed to play spoilers in their penultimate home Trans Valley League matchup against Hughson High, which ended with a 37-21 loss.
The Pitman Pride found redemption in this week's Central California Conference matchup against Golden Valley. Coming off a loss to Merced last week, the Pride held the Cougars to minimal yards and took the, 27-0, victory Friday night at Golden Valley High School.
Turlock High put in its best performance of the season Friday night during its homecoming matchup against Atwater High, dominating the Falcons 56-7.
Pitman High is headed to the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section championship match for the first time ever after Tuesday's 3-1 (19-25, 25-14, 25-13 and 25-20) victory over St. Francis High of Sacramento.
Maybe the second time is the charm.
The list of Turlock High athletes moving on to the collegiate level continues to grow.
It was déjà vu for the Bulldogs of Turlock High when they traveled to Tracy High for the first round of the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs. As was the case when the two Bulldog teams met in week 5, Turlock found itself just two points shy of victory after a failed two-point conversion attempt cemented a final score of 21-19
The Pitman Pride varsity football team went into Friday's Division-I CIF Sac-Joaquin Section round one tournament game looking to rebound from last week's disappointing Harvest Bowl loss to Turlock. However, the Pride met a very demanding Napa High team, who controlled the field from the onset.
The 2014 cross country season came to an end for Pitman, Hilmar and Turlock High School athletes last Saturday at the Subsection meet held in Angels Camp.
Turlock High's turnaround season on the volleyball court met its end at the hands of Lincoln High Tuesday night, but it wasn't without a fight.
The Turlock Christian High volleyball team picked up right where it left off in last year's postseason and that is with a victory, but this time it was an upset.
The Hilmar High volleyball team entered the CIF Division IV Sac-Joaquin Section Girls Volleyball Tournament on Tuesday as the number two seed and heavy favorites. The Yellowjackets lived up to their hype, defeating number 15 seed Orestimba High, 3-0, (25-13, 25-18 and 25-17).
Pitman High took its first post-season step Monday night when its girls hosted McClatchy High of Sacramento in the first round of the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section Girls Volleyball Tournament. The top seeded Pride dispatched the Lions with relative ease, 3-0 (25-13, 25-5 and 25-6), as they outsized and overpowered their opponent on the court.
The Pitman High girls water polo team had one of the program's most successful regular seasons in 2014, as the Pride made the postseason for only the second time in seven years and the first since a five-year hiatus when the team made it in 2008.
The girls tennis season is over for Turlock High.
Denair High's Edwin Flores tallied five onside kicks and recovered all of them last Friday en route to the Coyotes' 62-21 victory over the visiting Waterford High team, ending their six-game Southern Athletic League losing streak.

SYNOPSIS: In the north of England elderly men are afflicted by a disease which gradually turns them into violent zombies while gangs roam the streets looking to exterminate them.

From big budget A-list films such as Marc Forster's forthcoming WORLD WAR Z to micro budget semi-pro efforts like DEADLANDS: THE RISING it seems that … Continue reading

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school could be better if staff and parents work together...There is a little parent involvement...We do not have a permanent principal, and we do not know for how long this will be...
Intolerable principal scares teachers away. Every year. This is how it goes: principal begins "dropping in" unannounced at a classroom. She tells the teacher that she does not know how to teach and that she is "concerned." Next, principal begins calling the teacher to her office every day after school for 2-3 hour "meetings" where principal tells the teacher shes not following "best practices." Teacher cannot correct papers, set up her classroom, etc because of all the time wasted in the office as the principal takes phone calls and checks her texts. Next, the teacher quits or transfers before mid January when the principal promises to begin the E3 dismissal process which will ruin the teachers record. Then the principal replaces the bullied teacher by a current teacher that is teaching in another grade at the school. Finally, another new teacher --who has few rights according to the CTU contract-- is hired with open arms and TLC. Then the new teacher gets bullied toward the end of the school year and the beginning of the new school year until she quits by January before the principal can fire her using the dismissal process. This happens to 7+ teachers every year at Bright school.
Worst principal ever at Orville T. Bright Elementary in Chicago. O.T. Bright has had excellent teachers even Golden Apple Award winners and some Nationally Board Certified teachers. Unfortunately, we have lost every single one of these great teachers. The principal harasses and publicly humiliates staff members then calls them "combative." This is why we have 80% new staff every year, including a new assistant principal every year.
Horrible environment for children, teachers, and assistant principals. That's why enrolment keeps dropping, positions are being eliminated and why teachers transfer and quit this school throughout the school year. I've seen the principal yelling at teachers in front of students. What message does this send our children? My child told me about the time the principal interrupted a math lesson with all her carrying on and strange behavior. The LSC council is a rubber-stamp joke that no parents want to join so they keep having "elections." Why won't CPS do something?
Terrible principal yells at everybody. The school s test scores have plummeted. Enrolment has dropped. Teaching positions have been cut. Many teachers leave in the middle of the year. 8 teachers that started the school year in September left by February. Why? I have heard the principal yelling at students and at teachers. Why would the children respect there teachers if they hear the principal screaming at them? Why don t we have a math teacher at Bright for months and months? I have heard children tell teachers why should I listen to you? You are going to get fired anyway . I have heard parents complaining about the homework teachers give the students. Before November the teachers only send out work sheets printed from the internet. The parents blame the teachers year after year. Who is in charge of ordering text books the teachers or the principal? Why is it that we get almost a whole new batch of teachers and a new assistant principal every year but the problems are always the same? The teachers, assistant principals and counselors come and go but the principal is always there screaming at children and teachers and blaming them for her own failures year after year.
I agree about there being a lot of turmoil at Bright. I don't understand why so many good teachers end up leaving every year. Even the counselor and assistant principal did not return this year. I want to know why the students don't get all the workbooks they need until so late in the year. Is turmoil the reason why teachers leave even in the middle of the year? This will be the last year my kids go to Bight school.

Meteors and other space rocks streak through the skies every night, and four camera stations spread over the tri-state area keep watchful vigil, recording important data for researchers.
NASA operates the All-Sky Fireball Network with the four cameras, two of which are within 30 minutes of Chattanooga, to collect data about how much, how often and how quickly space rocks fly toward Earth.
Unmanned cameras have been placed at the Walker County Schools space observatory in Chickamauga, Ga., as well as at the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Ga.
NASA also operates a camera in Huntsville, Ala., at the Marshall Space Flight Center as well as in Tullahoma, Tenn. And in the coming year, the space agency hopes to expand the skywatching effort.
"When you start out building a camera network, you want your first few stations close by so you can work out the bugs and resolve issues," said William Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, based at the Marshall center. "We now have enough experience and confidence to expand to locales far from Huntsville."
The cameras operate remotely through the Internet, and the camera and computer cost roughly $1,000. Cooke sits down at his desk every morning and browses a handful of videos and images of meteors captured the evening before.
Every day, 100 tons of meteoroids — fragments of dust and gravel and sometimes even big rocks — enter Earth's atmosphere, NASA says. The vast majority are too small to pose a threat, turning into dust or shrinking to a nonthreatening size as the atmosphere slows them to a safe speed, research shows.
But with more than one camera angle, NASA scientists can tell how fast and at what trajectory meteors are traveling.
"All of this is valuable, as it helps validate and improve our models of the meteoroid environment near Earth, which are used in designing spacecraft," Cooke said. "It also helps to check our meteor-shower forecast models, which are used in spacecraft operations."
It also makes for cool Internet browsing for people who look to the sky, see a meteor and get curious. Computer software calculates all the spotted meteors' orbits and allows Cooke to share a wealth of information.
"If someone calls me and asks 'What was that?' I'll be able to tell them," he said. "We'll have a record of every big meteoroid that enters the atmosphere. ... Nothing will burn up in those skies without me knowing about it."
NASA plans to expand its network of cameras in clusters of five, so locally there's room for one more camera, Cooke said.
"I plan on putting one more camera in this area and am eyeing sites somewhere along the Tennessee and North Carolina border," Cooke said. "After that, I plan on placing another group of five cameras somewhere along the Atlantic seaboard and another group of five somewhere in the Ohio and Kentucky region."
Anyone interested in pitching a site should contact NASA online, but there are guidelines. The cameras work best in areas with a clear horizon free of trees, Cooke said. There can't be much bright light, and there must be a speedy Internet connection available.
Meteor hunters can use the NASA data to track where a space rock might have landed and go search for it.
"Most meteorites fall in the ocean, lakes, forests, farmers' fields or the Antarctic," said Rhiannon Blaauw, who assists Cooke. "And the majority of those meteorites will never be found. But our system will help us track down more of them."

Animal Families: Gorilla Mother and Baby
Photography by Suzi Eszterhas | Text by Della Watson
Does this gorilla mother look relaxed? This shot is remarkable because mothers normally carry infants in the crook of their arm—a spot that protects the baby but makes it difficult to get a clear photograph of that tiny little face. Perhaps enjoying some sort of simian version of the "food coma," this mother has become so comfortable while eating that she's dropped her arm enough to allow Eszterhas to snap an intimate family portrait. "That baby's less than a week old," she says. "It's very difficult to photograph a newborn gorilla with their eyes open, because they're sleeping a lot. So that was a great moment where the baby was awake, and Mom is feeding and relaxed, and all the elements came together. Being at the right place at the right time is a huge part of this job."

Artist recalls impact of UAE's 41 years on calligraphy
Many people now come to the UAE to present their art work from different countries, says calligrapher
- Image Credit: Pankaj Sharma/Gulf News
- Calligraphy artist Al Jallaf explains his work during the exhibition of Islamic calligraphy being held at DIFC.
Dubai: A calligraphy artist says the impact of the UAE's 41 years of giving has succeeded in transforming the UAE into a worldwide hub where calligraphy artists from all over the world meet to showcase their work.
Calligraphy artist and consultant at Quality Control at Dubai Health Authority, Khalid Al Jallaf, spoke to Gulf News about the experience he had being a calligraphy artist in the UAE 33 years ago, at an art exhibition, Silent Prayers.
"I started learning calligraphy in 1979 at the age of 15. Back then we did not have UAE-based calligraphy masters, neither did we have books about calligraphy as there was no concentration on calligraphy. The only resource that I used to learn calligraphy was the headlines of the only newspaper available back then which was Al Ittihad."
Al Jallaf also depended on calligraphy masters who came from Iraq to teach him about the basics of calligraphy. "We started calling on some masters from all over the world to come to Dubai then we started conducting workshops and exhibitions. The government also started showing their interest through launching exhibitions and competitions as they have learnt that calligraphy is not only art, it contributes to our roots, history and heritage. We are now the main producers of calligraphy in the world [and] many people now come to the UAE to present their art work from different countries," he added.
As for the 15 pieces that are exhibited in the Silent Prayer exhibition by Al Jallaf, some are compromised of pure calligraphy while others incorporate Islamic architecture with calligraphy to show the relationship between calligraphy and other Islamic art. They also incorporate a mosaic pattern to reflect Al Jallaf's view on life.
The exhibition also showcases work by Pakistani calligraphy master Ahmad Khan where his pieces deal with abstract forms.
The Silent Prayer exhibition will showcase 30 paintings and will run from November 24-28, at the DIFC Atrium.

I'm feeling a little under the weather, so instead of going to take a picture of the moon, I am posting this one Loek took for today's challenge.
Whenever I look up at the moon, I remind myself that eventually tonight everyone in the world will see this same moon. It makes me feel not nearly as far away from people I miss. Every time I look up, I get one of these two songs from my childhood stuck in my head, so I thought I would share them.
I see the Moon and the Moon sees me,
And the moon sees the one that I can't see.
God Bless the Moon and God Bless me,
And God Bless the one that I can't see.
and "Somewhere out there" from Fievel Goes West
Somewhere out there,
beneath the pale moonlight,
someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.
Somewhere out there,
someone's saying a prayer,
that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there.
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.
Somewhere out there,
if love can see us through,
then we'll be together, somewhere out there,
out where dreams come true.
How do you deal with homesickness?

The Pregnant Pause -- How I Almost Ruined My Best Friend's Engagement
The plan went off without a hitch, Jaime was in shock and awe, and I was completely relieved. Until the champagne bottles started appearing at the table. Pre-pregnancy I would have been the girl who ordered the first bottle, stuck a straw in it and said, "What's everyone else drinking?"
But with a developing embryo inside me, that wasn't gonna happen, and it was going to be noticeable that I was abstaining. I couldn't very well announce that I was pregnant to the whole table (hello, thunder-stealer, thanks for coming), but I hadn't really prepared for what to say instead.
So when Drew's dad put a glass in front of me, I waved my hand and said quietly, "None for me, thanks."
The first three months of pregnancy are tough. You don't want to tell everyone in case something happens to your baby (20 percent of women miscarry in the first 12 weeks), but it's tough to hide when so many changes are taking place in your body and your lifestyle. So I bring you Sneaky Tricks Other Women Have Used -- if only I had talked to them before the engagement party.
"I had my 10-year high school reunion when I was only a few months pregnant. It was at a local bar and everyone was drinking, so I ordered a club soda with lime and told people it was a vodka tonic. I also wore a babydoll shirt to cover my growing pooch."
-- Sara, 30, Roanoke, Va.
"When I was eight weeks pregnant, I went to a wedding and drank water out of a Miller Light can all night. I also avoided my best friend Shannon for six weeks because I knew I couldn't hide it from her." -- Ashley, 34, Atlanta
"On nights when we were out drinking, I would order something alcoholic, then slowly pour it into a separate glass when no one was looking. My boobs also grew at an unbelievable rate, so I had to wear three shirts (a tank top, a shirt over that and then a sweater over that) to hide them!" -- Lisa, 29, Miami
"I told everyone I was on a cleansing diet -- all natural fruits, foods and veggies. I could avoid alcohol without suspicion." -- Kara, 31, Boston
"Both times I've been pregnant it was over the holidays. I enjoy both wine and beer, so my friends would know something was up immediately if I was sticking to a non-alcoholic beverage. This past Christmas, while at a party in my hometown my husband drank a bottle of beer then rinsed it out, and poured apple juice into it. It worked like a charm!" -- Chevonne, 31, Victoria, British Columbia

Another weirdo insane article.
1) Seriously. I doubt VERY much that if one person doesn't drink that the whole room goes silent or even notices. Talk about delusions of grandeur. Individuals are just not that important to everyone else. Unless there's a back story. Maybe you're known as the biggest lush in town and people couldn't wait to see you strip off your clothes, climb up on the table and do the star spangled banner. Again.
2) So, someone mentioned you were pregnant. So what. Any congrats weren't stealing anyone else's thunder, it's just polite noise and they quickly moved on to something more interesting. Again, individuals are just not that important to the rest of us. Yeah, yeah, good for you, what's for lunch?
The whole article just sound like paranoid drunk talk, frankly.
Thursday 08 April
By my opinion
WOW K!!!! you must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed....
Collen and the bride to be are best freinds.... part of being best freinds is usually knowing the others freinds and family, and probably caring about them... so yes they really might have gotten quiet when she turned down a drink... and no she doesnt have to be a lush... just be with people who care about her!!! and since she was with people that care about her and what happens to her... then yes I would bet money that they do care about her as an individual!!
It sounds to me like its you that needs to get over yourself!!!
Thursday 08 April
By Melissa
I totally agree with K. And it's liberating to realize that most people really don't care about what you do as an individual.

1. clearly your circumstances differ from both the author's and my environment. i was in the early weeks of pregnancy over the thanksgiving and christmas holidays this past year. my husband works for a beer manufacturing plant and it is never in short supply at any of our gatherings. i can't tell you how often i was offered a beer. i managed to decline (just held onto an open one) most of the time, or accept and hand off to my husband. had i not done so, it would have been short order before the pregnant accusations would have started flying.
2. she was simply trying to be polite by not announcing her pregnancy. i wonder if you've ever been in her shoes... it was her friends engagement party and therefore "her day." the author was simply trying to be a good friend by not doing anything to distract everyone from what they were there to celebrate, the engagement, not the arrival of a new baby. (funny how you consider a new baby less interesting than the lunch menu...)
perhaps you could attempt to be a little more aware of your surroundings while in public. just because you don't care about other individuals does not mean that others either share your point of view or callousness.

k she was TRYING to be a good friend and not steal her friends moment im not saying getting engaged isnt a big deal but so is having a baby she just wanted to give her friend her moment and im sooo sorry individuals mean so little to you you must be very lonly

Monday 12 April
By Jacynta
It is pretty silly, why would you hide something like this unless you were ashamed of it? Not telling people for 3 months is a little much just because 'it might not make it'.
You'd be surprised how rude people can be when it comes to drinks though. A pair of my grandparents were trying to stuff drinks down my throat on Easter. I would keep saying "no thanks." and smiling, and they just kept getting more aggressive and ticked off with every question. Some people are just dumb, and can't comprehend the fact that sometimes, people just don't feel like alcochol.
Monday 12 April
By Andrea
You would be surprised how many people want to make it THEIR BUSINESS if you don't drink. My current b/f drinks beer...I don't. His ex offered me a beer, I declined...her jaw DROPPED and she said "you don't drink?"...uh..no..
So, just because when you are at a party and you are standing alone in the corner, nobody notices YOU or pays much attention to you, don't think it happens to all of us...

By Roan
I'm with K on this one! Nobody gives a shit. To believe for one moment that an entire evening is ruined by your refusal of one glass of champagne is narcissistic, ludicrous and self-indulgent. I'd be more shocked if you actually stuck a straw into an entire bottle of champagne than I would if you didn't drink at all (and, as your friend, I would feel compelled to advise you to seek AA).
You know what? I can't believe I even read this article. Even more ridiculous, I can't believe I'm actually taking the time to respond to this B.S.
That just shows you how empty my life is.
Where's my damn bottle of champagne?!?!

By Just PRETEND that you're sipping
I agree with the comment that the author made a big deal about people "noticing her every move". Here's a tip for any pregnant woman who doesn't want anyone to know yet that they're pregnant:
PRETEND to sip without actually drinking anything. No one is going to notice !!!
Monday 12 April
By Lauracat
I've read all the replies to your comment and I am totally with you on this one, I mean the arrogance of the writer thinking that her "big secret" was so much bigger than her friends "little engagement" just seems like the writer has placed way more importance on her self, the thing about the table suddenly getting quiet- please, I'm sure it did.......NOT! And the whole thing about trying to hide your pregnancy????? why, seriously why try to hide it? I think these women really do think that its just the biggest thing since peanut butter that they're pregnant and they're just going to surprise the world with it when they're ready- someone should really let them know that outside of friends and family- nobody gives a sh*t, so the only ones they're keeping this "great" news from are the people that care about them. What idiocy!

Yikes, you obnoxious little twit! As it's obvious you were raised by a classless pack of wolves, allow me to enlighten you. To those of us raised in a genteel society, it IS considered quite rude to steal someone's "thunder" especially while attending a party to celebrate what's supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime event (ie: Bridal Shower, Engagement Party or Wedding). Announcing ANYTHING of LIFE-CHANGING importance is not only rude and obnoxious, it's just plain rotten, and YES, it does, for however BRIEF a time, take attention away from the focus of the celebration. Before you waste the rest of your life being a social idiot, pull that stick out of your butt and enroll in Gale Carnegie!

you are absolutely right! worst article everrrrrrrr! what the hell! who gives a damn about you not drinking unless you are known as an alcoholic or a big drinker or something...goshh i cannot believe how boring and stupid this aricle was and how in the hell it made it on AOL top 9...goshhh sorry i never ever spend time typing my opinion but i really had to say something and agree with this comment.
Monday 12 April
By Jen
I agree... how self centered are these people. No body really cares. And to think you stole her thunder... I doubt you have that kind of power. So you are not drinking....maybe you are not feeling so great, don't feel like drinking, on medication or how about you are driving, there a ton of reasons people do not drink and its not because they are pregnant. People are not sitting around thinking about you. Get over yourselves!
Monday 12 April
By Erik N
Those were my thoughts exactly. I was about to reply when i read your comment and started laughing. You would have to be like a total alcoholic or party animal for anyone to notice that you weren't drinking that night.

Some people do not want everyone to know they are preggers. especially if they have not told everyone in a group. Its kind of a specialness that a couple has for a while before they want the whole world to know
Monday 12 April
By Sidthe Kid
I used to think that nobody cared but they do. I do not drink much and sometimes go out without having a sip and people think that it weird or ask me if I am expecting. Maybe your friends really do not care but other do we live in a society that promotes it so when people do not do it they are looked at as an out cast. As for being prego, not everyone wants the world to know. It's a specialness a couple has to before they want the world to know.
SB: No amount of alcohol is safe for pregnant women even sips during fetal development can cause fetal alcohol syndrome.

Here at Beautiful/Decay, we don't limit our features to art and design created by the human species. In large cities like Tokyo where there are few trees, birds may find it hard to come by nesting materials. Because of this lack, crafty crows have begun to use wire coat hangers to build their abodes, stealing them from nearby apartments. Crows' nests are typically composed of interlocking twigs and some wire to create a sturdy structure for the birds' eggs so it's not hard to understand how hangers could be deemed appropriate materials by the crows. These wiry nests appear sculptural in their construction, their placements among tree branches marking a stark contrast between the natural and man-made. Crows are intelligent creatures and have been known to recognize human faces, bend wires into hooks in order reach food, crack open walnuts by dropping them from a height, and even memorize garbage truck schedules in order to track down food supplies.

Mini Tokyo Comes Alive With 3D Mapping Projection
This miniature city is a carefully modeled Tokyo at 1:1,000 scale. The Roppongi Hills skyscraper, dominant in the Tokyo skyline, celebrates its 10th anniversary by creating this model titled Tokyo City Symphony. In addition to being intricately detailed, the model Tokyo is accompanied by a 3D mapping projection set to a corresponding soundtrack. The projection brings the metropolis to life adding an impressive level of reality to the tiny Tokyo. Check out the video to see Tokyo City Symphony in action.
Makoto Azuma's Incredible Art and Design with Plants.
"AMKK is a company developing the experimental creation by Makoto Azuma, a flower artsit, whose subject is flowers and plants. The activities of AMKK aim to increase the existential value of plants by finding out the most mysterious figure only owned by flowers and plants and converting it to the artistic expression."
Makoto Azuma's work with plants are really extraordinary. Using plastic and real materials, he crafts furniture, installation, and sculpture with a particular natural, earthy aesthetic. Chairs made out of artificial turf, installations of leaves that seem to endlessly fold into themselves, and human/tree pseudo-mutations are just a few of the things he's done so far. Azuma also runs an haute couture flower shop (I didn't know such a thing existed) called Jardins des Fleurs in Tokyo. (via)

Kimiaki's electrifying illustrations of sexual, surreal interactions between beautiful women, men, animals, and a chubby little girl is amazing. Her 3D, sexual, and wonderfully off-center styled would make a killer business card design. We are always on the search for amazing artists, join in on the B/D Flickr Pool and you might find yourself featured on the blog as well.
