I was making pizza for my kids and their friends tonight. I had 3 crusts to make and was already on my second when I realized that I had forgotten to add the oil to my first crust. I made yet another in case the fat free one did not work out, but it was just great. Therefore, this is my new normal crust!

Hurricanes spent bye week honing offense
Published On: Sep 18 2013 12:48:44 PM EDT
No. 16 Miami says it used its bye week to get better. That's probably not the best of news for Savannah State and South Florida, the next two opponents on the Hurricanes' schedule.
The Hurricanes got back on the practice field Monday, after a brief weekend break. Miami outscored Florida Atlantic and Florida 55-22 to open the season, a strong sign for the defense but an indicator that the offense isn't totally clicking yet, either.
Quarterback Stephen Morris says Miami worked hard to address some issues, and coach Al Golden made third-down conversions a point of emphasis. Miami has connected on only 20 percent of its third-down chances so far, one of the worst success rates in the nation.

And, they call the Tea Party unamerican.

I urge you to read the original article and watch the accompanying video. It will tear you up. Aaron Vaughn was a true warrior but you can see from where he got his courage. His mother and father are fearlessly telling his story. God bless them. They are on the front lines in a messaging war that Obama is determined to allow the Muslims to win. We must not let that happen. Our government is deeply infiltrated by the enemy which is a truth that must be told and then acted upon.

The enemies of America now hold her highest offices and commands. We are being destroyed from within and the citizenry is ill prepared to fight back. We are kept ignorant and lied to by a malevolent media and we are poorly served by a feckless congress. Unless there comes a strong and fearless leader to fight against EVERYthing Obama stands for, and rallies this country back to it´s senses, I fear we are lost.

This is an important article.I have spent 7 of the last 10 years in the "Zone" and I can tell you that it´s not about winning a war. It´s all about bleeding America down and getting her ready to submit to Islamic Jihad.Liberalism is a religion posing as a political party.But Islam is a political party posing as a religion.Both are liars and equally dangerous.Even if you don´t get ´wounded´ in the war, you still come back crazy.I did.

I remember the exact moment when I realized that I suck. I was braking hard into turn four, when the instructor ahead of me clipped the apex cone with the deft touch of an athlete, sending it into the air and onto the track. I drove through the cloud of dust in his wake and heard the small particles of dirt hitting the bumper and getting thrown up into the wheel wells. He was pulling quickly out of the corner and onto the straight when I realized that I had no business being anywhere near the brake. I jumped off the stoppers, sending all the weight onto the rear tires and started easing into the throttle. The car began to push wide and as I was looking down the track, he continued to barrel into the distance. Twenty yards, then thirty, then fifty and so on. How is this possible? I'm behind the wheel of a Germanic icon and he's driving a turbo'd econobox. I couldn't have been more emasculated if all three of Hef's blondes stormed in, ripped off my pants, pointed and laughed.
And so ended my day at Skip Barber's High Performance Driving School at Laguna Seca raceway.
DISCLAIMER: Autoblog has never and will never accept gifts from any company. We paid the full tuition price of $1,595 to attend the Skip Barber HP Driving School, just like you would.
There are myriad things every gearhead should learn to do before he croaks: drive a 911, lap a world famous circuit, powerslide a Viper and sit shotgun in a car being flogged around a track like a piece of precision machinery. No place else lets you do all these things at one time, and that's the main reason we chose the One Day H.P. Driving School hosted by Skip Barber at Laguna Seca.
The course itself is designed to take novices to the limit in a safe environment, under the expert tutelage of a few instructors, some of whom have racing resumes that would make a weekend SCCA member quiver in their Pilotis.
Skip Barber hosts several courses around the country, but the prospect of spending a day at Laguna Seca was enough incentive for us to take a mid-week day off work and travel west. Well, that, and the cars. Throughout the day, we were able to get behind the wheel of a BMW 330i, a Porsche Boxster, both 996 and 997 variants of the 911, a Viper and an M3. At some of the other tracks where Skip Barber's minions operate (Sebring, Lime Rock, etc.), you'll also have the opportunity to strap into both an Audi S4 and it's amped-up big brother, the RS4.
The day starts off at 8 a.m. (far too early for a late night blogger) when we're ushered into a classroom, checked in and required to sign away our lives and the balance of our credit cards. The students range in age and (somewhat) in sex, with our class comprised of seven people total: a twenty-something male, a few gentlemen in their thirties and one woman. All the participants were there for different reasons: education, fun, a reward from a well-to-do boss, etc.
We got settled into our seats and were introduced to two of our instructors, both in their mid twenties and both of whom refer to themselves as "products of Skip Barber," meaning they've been getting educated by the school since they were in utero.
After introductions of both the teachers and the taught, we're given a general overview of what the day holds for us. We'll begin with some classroom instruction that goes over basic topics like weight distribution, counter steer, slide control, throttle and brake inputs, and what measures of safety are designed into the course and expected of the student.
Our third instructor arrives a bit late (South Bay traffic in the hizzie) and it's none other than Jonathan Bomarito, who just scored his first Champ Car Atlantic victory the weekend before and is the man that tried to get an NSX-equipped Clarkson around Laguna Seca in GT4 time.
After the classroom session, we'll be ushered down to the parking lot and put behind the wheel of a 330, then instructed to make our way around a wet skid pad while still maintaining some modicum of directional control. From there, it's on to a lane change exercise in a squadron of brand-spanking-new Boxsters (sans-S, mind you), then lunch.
After that, we're back onto the skidpad for some opposite lock exercises, then allowed to pick and choose what vehicles we take around a six-turn autocross course setup in the adjacent parking lot. The final for the day is hot laps around the Laguna Seca track in the vehicle of our choosing, except for the Viper (insurance reasons, we're told).
At this point, we're all salivating at the prospects; champing at the bit to get out there and test the limits of physics.
The education begins next Friday with the second part of our series.

Casey Watson
Opal Dust
Show Runs November 29 - January 12
Reception: Saturday, December 1, 3-5pm
Opal Dust features Casey Watson depicting the sharp-edged task of portraying a soft exterior.
Watson's meticulous colored pencil and graphite drawings invite the viewer to unearth her treasures and inspect their rusted edges. Up close, petals, leaves and stems re-arrange themselves into kaleidoscopic wreaths. These newly forged orbs careen and breed, evoking ideas of natural symmetry and squished floral formations. From a distance, the same drawings take on new forms as fireworks, galaxies, and magnified molecules pop from the paper.

Will the new Agency Workers Regulations affect you?
Categories: consultancy, news, recruitment, salaries
A new European law about using contract workers comes into effect in the UK on 1 October 2011. If your project relies on temporary staff, freelance workers, or contractors, you may find that your project costs go up.
What is the new law about?
The Agency Workers Regulations entitles freelancers, consultants and other 'agency' staff to equal access to benefits and equal working conditions to those of permanent staff. That impacts everything from maternity pay to annual appraisals and the right to attend the Christmas party.
Employing a temporary worker on your project means that they will be entitled to information about job opportunities in the company, access to the canteen and to use the childcare facilities if these are provided by the company: basically, they are 'equal' to permanent employees. It is likely to take some time to establish how far this goes: will they be entitled to a car parking space, for example? Or luncheon vouchers? (Although I'm not sure if companies still give out luncheon vouchers!)
These benefits apply from the first day that the person takes a role with the company. There's another level of benefit for contractors, though. This level kicks in after the person has been in post for 12 weeks. At this point they become entitled to the same basic working and employment conditions as a permanent staff member.
That means that contractors become entitled to the same working hours, rest breaks, equal pay, overtime payments and bonuses. They also become entitled to annual leave, with parity to what is on offer to the permanent staff. One quirk of the new law is that they can choose to take the time off or receive additional pay in lieu of the holiday time – not all companies offer permanent employees the opportunity to do this, instead opting for a 'use it or lose it' policy.
What is the impact on your project team?
Contractor rates are typically higher than permanent staff rates because contractors are currently not entitled to holiday pay, sickness absence pay or other benefits. With the introduction of the new law, you could have the opportunity to negotiate a reduction in contractor rates to take into effect the additional payments required for holiday entitlement.
Overall, costs for contractor staff could be higher, and you would be advised to review the provisions of the law and plan this into your budgets, especially if your project needs contractors on the team for over 12 weeks. You may even find it harder to get approval for temporary team members, because the terms of the new law make it less attractive to employee short term contractors.
Permanent staff:
Don't forget the impact of all this on the permanent staff in your project team. Contractors are generally on high day rates – and now they are getting holiday pay? Managing the morale of your permanent team members when faced with high earning contractors could be tricky, so think about what you can do to address the balance. What else can you offer in terms of reward and recognition to support the permanent team members?
You may also find that permanent team members who have been thinking about contracting decide that this is the push they need to leave employment and set up on their own as a project management contractor.
What next?
First, find out if the rules apply to your company. Talk to your Human Resources department. This is the result of EU regulations, but even if you are working in a non-EU country, it could have an implication for your project if you have a European division. Normally, the rules of engagement in the hiring country apply so even if you are working elsewhere, team members based in the EU could be affected.
Salaries, benefits and the training outlook for 2011
Arras People, the specialist project management recruitment company and the people behind How to Manage a Camel, have just released their latest Project Management Benchmark Report. This is an annual, 'state of the industry' UK project management study, and each year it includes information about salaries and corporate budgets. Here are some of the highlights from this latest report.
Training budgets cut
Salaries static
As well as looking at salary movements, the survey gathered data on salary amounts. The mode salary for project practitioners in the public sector is £30k to £40k: 36% of respondents fit in here. In the private sector the mode salary is the £40k to 350k band.
Part of a remuneration package is benefits: cycle hire scheme, childcare vouchers, season ticket loan, pension and so on. If you get these, consider yourself luck: 52% of employees reported that they receive no benefits.
The full 36-page Arras People Project Management Benchmark Report 2011 is available on line here.
Live from PMI Global Congress North America: How to Become a Program Manager
Pedro Serrador presented yesterday at PMI Global Congress North America on how to become a program manager. There are many career advantages to program management – not least that program managers tend to earn more than project managers. So if you want to move into program management, here are Pedro's tips.
"A program manager adds more value than just project managers," said Pedro. He said there are eight principles to being a successful program manager, and shared these from Vincent J. Bilardo, Jr.:
Moving to a program manager role requires you to deliver the goods, he said. There might also be a case for upgrading your education, and learning from others. Pedro also said that prospective program managers should put themselves in a position where they can lead and mentor others, and especially learn to delegate appropriately. "Show that you are a leader, not just one of ten project managers in the group," he added. Look for the opportunities that arrive and take them. Finally, act the role, he explained. "If you want to become a program manager, act like a program manager. Start to structure things like programs." If you act like a program manager, your manager will see that you are capable of operating at that level.
"Often it is beneficial to move around," he said, when he spoke about how to land that new program management job. That could mean moving to a new initiative or to a new company. He explained that outside CEO's earn an average of 13% more than internal candidates. However, they fail 34% of the time, compared with only 24% of internal candidates, so there is something to be said for sticking with what you know. "Moving is riskier," Pedro said.
Pedro had some tips for what to do when you get that first program, or you choose to structure your existing work as a program (even if you don't yet have the title):
Pedro also said that senior managers spend more time planning their own time. "You help the projects managers get on the right track and then go on to something else," he said. Factor that into your daily schedule and take the time to plan your day (and your schedule in general). It might seem like it takes a long time but it will be effective.
"A big part of your role is to let the stakeholders know the importance of your program and you need to be able to push to have obstacles removed," he said. His final piece of advice was to have a 30 second status summary in meetings in case the executive you are presenting to gets called away. "Know to stop at yes," he added.

John McCain was the only of the remaining presidential candidates to spend primary night here in the commonwealth.
He told an enthused crowd Tuesday in Alexandria he's just about ready to put the primaries behind him and move on to the general election as the GOP nominee.
"As luck, that product of opportunity and industry, would have it, we're approaching the end of the first half of the election on quite an upswing."
According to CNN, McCain now has secured 827 delegates in his bid for the republican nomination; a fact that Matt Smyth with UVa's Center for Politics says puts him right on the cusp.
"It would take some extraordinary event, a huge misstep on his part or something from the national party leaders to really give Huckabee a chance," Smyth explains.
On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton's campaign is slumping following her lopsided defeats in Virginia, D.C. and Maryland.
"They changed their campaign manager, just recently she donated $5 million of her own money into the campaign and she's lost the last half-dozen states," Smyth says, adding that most candidates would be sunk under such circumstances.
Still, despite Barack Obama's recent surge Smyth says he's not yet the winner of the democratic fight.
"Obama really has the momentum, he's carried that momentum forward. They're essentially tied in terms of the number of delegates. They both have about 1,200 out of 4,000 delegates."

There's an inextricable link between the original coffee houses & creatives, artists whiling their days away, feeding from the buzz of caffeine & sipping on an exotic nectar, enticing the artistic rummagings of something special...
TOBY SMITH has played a major role for over a decade in shaping the burgeoning coffee community in Sydney, Australia & now even as far as New York City, opening in Brooklyn earlier this year. A master roaster at the helm of Toby's Estate Coffee, an adventurer & an avid & distinguished pioneer for the humble, the revered & ever intoxicating coffee bean. A passionate & dedicated man & a joy to be around, so of course I would be painting him for the Archibald, the timing was finally right this year.
Many years ago I met Toby, filing into a leafy courtyard in Sydney one Sunday afternoon for the sensory journey of one of his coffee appreciation workshops. It was mind blowingly spectacular. I found that the Ethiopian Harrar held a certain allure & we connected on a mutual love of Rimbaud & lemon tarts. I then ritualistically crossed half of the city, rain hail or shine for the perfect cup when Toby opened in Woolloomooloo on a very regular basis.
That sense of adventure, of the exotic can so easily be lost in this time & place, but sitting in that courtyard, that day & every time since when I've tasted a Toby's Estate Coffee the world's mysteries & adventures are palpable in each sip, whispering stories untold, like each canvas I approach is pregnant with possibility. There's definitely a parallel between our worlds, a kindred connection, being transported by the bean & by the brush, venturing into the wild unknown in search of perfection & character & impression, to tell a story...
Toby is the bridge between this world & era's gone by of hedonistic adventure, spice trails & pomp, with pick me up. He's a contemporary trader. His impeccable coffee connects us to the world at large, to ourselves & to each other & each experience is always totally unique. He has a hand firmly on the pulse of urban life & his heart & soul melds with the fields & mountains & people of exotic lands, the rich soils where he treads, forever drawn to those little red cherries & their stories, weaving them through his own.
From bean to cup, it's a pure process & life cycle, when you sip from your demitasse you're taking in the life story of the bean, from it's humble beginnings, it's country of origin, the journey it has been on, the roasters hand & those who have touched it along the way & ultimately adding to its inherent story by folding it into the fabric of your own. Just like when you absorb the glaze of a canvas, there is an entire life & narrative beneath the surface, & in the case of portraiture, it's the melding of two, artist & subject & I've been delighted to paint a man I truly admire & whom I also consider a friend.
Although we didn't make the final 41 out of 839 entries to hang in the AGNSW, the expression & connection people have experienced with the work thus far has been lovely & thank you all for you kind words & support.
a word on sublimation
My most recent collection of works, the sublimation series, read below for a little more of an insight into what lays beneath the surface & pops out to greet you...
studio in store
It didn't take very long, my paints & brushes & knives need to be with me wherever I am. My heart strings were tugging me to get back into my studio, so as the saying goes about the mountain, I brought my natural habitat to the store...
A section of the store has now transformed into my working studio space, complete with drop sheet { something which any of my studio's have NEVER seen the likes of } so when you pop in to peruse our fine wares you can now glimpse what it's like to see an artist at work.
With the Archibald prize on the horizon I'm feverishly working, placing the heels & polish to one side for my work boots & paint splattered shirts, bliss...

Searching for an attorney for driver's license reinstatement in Chicago? There are several situations that could lead to the suspension or revocation of your legal right to drive. If your driver's license has been suspended or revoked, contact my firm, the Law Offices of Mitch Furman. Depending upon what your situation is, we can help you get back behind the wheel, and in control of your life.
In Chicago, having the ability to drive is a must. There are real problems for working people, students, parents and other people who no longer have the legal right to operate a vehicle. This can happen through a variety of situations, including:
You need to get back behind the wheel, and I am ready to help you to take action.
You may believe that you can get a license in another state if it is suspended or revoked in Illinois; in fact, this is not the case. Our state is part of the NDR, the National Driver Register. This means that the information about your suspension or revocation will be shared with most other states, and you will be unable to get a license. Essentially, you will have the same problem even if you move to another state. It is crucial that you get this issue resolved, and there are several different options.
1. There must be reinstatement application submitted to the Secretary of State2. Once this is in process, a hearing will be set
Do you know what questions you will be asked? You need to find out before you get involved, as if you answer a few questions incorrectly, you will lose your opportunity to reinstate your license. Call me to find out more.
It is simple to get your driver's license suspended – all it takes is the accusation that you were DUI. You have not yet been convicted, and in fact, may not have been intoxicated or guilty of the criminal charge. Driver' license suspension is an automatic process that takes place through the DMV, the driver's license issuing authority. Once the arrest has taken place, you have only a few days to challenge the suspension.
Need an attorney for a driver's license reinstatement case in Chicago? I can represent you both in the criminal case for the DUI charges, as well as with the DMV – bringing evidence to a hearing to contest the suspension, or if it has already taken place, to take action to get your license reinstated. There are various options, and your case must be evaluated first. For example, there are five "risk" categories. Need a Chicago driver's license reinstatement lawyer? Let me review your situation and I can quickly advise you about how to get the process in motion.
If you have an excessive number of moving violations, and have accrued too many points, your license will be suspended. You only need three moving violations within a three month period to be facing a period of license suspension. The following can result in driver's license suspension:
Looking for a lawyer for a driver's license reinstatement case in Chicago? I have extensive experience in the processes necessary to reinstate your driver's license, get a restricted license, or handle DUI license suspension or revocation. I know what it takes to get the DMV to listen, how to present your case, the necessary documentation and all the details. Make it easy on yourself. Call me and get your situation analyzed. It is good to have a Chicago driver's license reinstatement lawyer on your side, as you can stay on track, avoid the complexities and find out accurate data about how long it will take, what is needed, and all other issues of concern.

About Cheryl Donakowski and Frank Misplon
We live in northern Michigan, where we all appreciate a warm, sunny escape in the winter! We owned two vacation rental properties on St. John in the US Virgin Islands, and as it became more developed and crowded we looked for another island that would be as quiet and peaceful as St. John was a few years ago. We found Vieques to be the perfect place for us - plenty of great (protected) beaches, lots of great restaurants, wonderful people, and a lot of peace and quiet!
Cheryl Donakowski and Frank Misplon purchased this house in 2011
Why Cheryl Donakowski and Frank Misplon chose Vieques Island
Bravos Beach Cottages is a great place for a big group - we host a lot of family reunions and extended family vacations - but we also rent the units individually so it's a great place for a smaller group or family. We've had a great time remodeling it and turning the gardens into the lush, tropical Paradise it is now. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
What makes this house unique
BBC is in a great location - just a mile from downtown Isabel Segunda, the main town on the island - so you are close to restaurants, shopping, groceries, ATM, etc. And we are only a block - an easy 3-4 minute walk - from La Chata beach. We are one of the few properties on the island that can accommodate 18 people with lots of great gathering spaces AND a lot of room to spread out.
Guestbook comments from the owner
I rented all the units and brought the whole family...children and grandchildren. We had the amenities of a 5 star hotel with the privacy to be ourselves. The accommodations were excellent...pool a delight and a special treat for the children. Beaches galore, all kinds, private and secluded, snorkeling, public, waves, calm just great! Local food delicious, had to adjust to island time but no problems there. Everyone in our family is from age 67 - 1 had a fabulous stay and we would all do it again! It was a great bucket list vacation!

This is probably nothing new to many of you, but I still see this mistake time and again:
When preparing to make contact with a suspicious person, do not grab your mic for the first time while pulling up to him. Instead, radio your intent, location, and physical and clothing description in advance--from a distance--before you approach. That way if a foot pursuit begins or a weapon is pulled, the info is already out. Then you can simply advise "foot pursuit" or whatever you have and dispatch will already have description and location for responding officers.
Not only is this much safer, but it also saves valuable air time if the foo-foo hits the fan as you approach.

November 26, 2014
Posted: Friday, April 5, 2013 -- 8:54 a.m.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) -- A black bear has awakened from hibernation and returned to an Eau Claire neighborhood where it's frightening residents, going through garbage cans and breaking bird feeders.
Neighbors want the bear removed. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says it's just part of spring -- give the bear two weeks and it will be gone.
Lowayne Rust tells WEAU-TV the bear has been roaming the neighborhood every year for about three years after hibernating in a nearby culvert under Interstate 94. While Rust worries about the safety of his dog, other neighbors worry about their young children.
The DNR's Ed Cullhane says bears typically aren't removed unless they are a danger or don't move on to more natural habitat within several weeks. The DNR suggests removing food sources, such as bird feeders.

A faith-based organization from Taiwan has made considerable inroads in being able to operate effectively in mainland China. Is further expansion too risky?
learning objective:
Tzu Chi is one of the largest charities in Taiwan, and one of the swiftest and most effective relief organizations internationally. Rooted in the value of compassion, the organization has many unusual operating features -- including having no long term plan. This case explores the basic operating approach of the organization and invites students to explain the overall effectiveness and success of the organization and its surprising success (as a faith-based, Taiwanese, direct-relief organization -- all of which are more or less anathema to the Chinese government) in securing an operating license in China.
subjects covered:
Crisis management; Disasters; Leadership; Management philosophy; Nonprofit organizations; Personal strategy & style; Political risk; Values; Vision
- Geographic: Taiwan
- Company Employee Count: 800
- Company Revenue: $310 million
- Event Year Begin: 2009

When the hip-hop-presaging Last Poets released their second album, This is Madness, in 1971, it was accompanied by an ad campaign proclaiming: "If you're white, this record will scare the shit out of you. If you're black, this record will scare the nigger out of you." Both the album's cover—flaming background with dashikis up front—and the full-page ad are reproduced, along with fistfuls of other colorful graphics, in Listen Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965–1975 (Fantagraphics). Tonight the author, Pat Thomas, visits Brooklyn to spin tunes and project album covers and posters reproduced in such chapters as "Honkies for Huey" and "Negroes With Guns and Radios."

200 West Grand Ave
Elmhurst, IL 60126
"I purchased a truck from them, although there were a few rough spots. First, the internet sales person promised 1,000 off of the list price and additional savings if I came in to the dealership. Initially, the dealer was not going to honor the promise, noting that the price had already come down 1,000 since first being listed (this was prior to me ever seeing the listing so should not have come into play in my deal). He also tried to give me a free oil change as the "additional savings" for coming in to look at the vehicle in person. In addition, they initially tried to use the tax credit on my trade in as part of the overall value of the trade in, which I think it completely unfair. I eventually OK'd the purchase after they agreed to drop the price 1500 and matched the price of the trade-in value that Carmax would give me. I suggest this dealer only if you are prepared to haggle for a fair price, otherwise you are going to pay more than you should."

Nominations for outstanding yet under-the-radar LA pastry chefs?
I'm curious...
Who's the best LA pastry chef that currently, for whatever reason, isn't getting the deserved kudos for their work either on this board, throughout the blogosphere, or in print?
Put down the name of the chef, the name of the restaurant, and your favorite dessert...let's see what we come up with...
Keiko Nojima of Patisserie Chantilly in Lomita is probably the most impressive of pastry chefs that I've come across. Everything about her shop, pastries, and beverages has been so well thought out. The attention to detail will amaze you. I haven't tried everything there, but everything that I have tried has left me amazed at how delicious and beautiful her works of art are. I think her place is probably most well known for her cream puffs, or Choux a la Creme, and Choux aux Sesames. But the Gateau Fraise, Gateau Orange, Maccha Roll, Pomme Pomme, Mont Blanc, and Chateau Chantilly are incredible as well. A small sense of guilt runs through me when I contemplate sinking a fork into these masterpieces, but alas, to do so is to acknowledge Keiko's deft ability to create some of the most irresistable pastries.
re: nyfoodjoe
It's in a strip mall on Lomita and Pennsylvania (which is between Crenshaw and Narbonne). I don't know their hours but I usually hit them on the weekend.
Most of Keiko's creations aren't overly sweet. IMHO, the balance between taste, texture and sweetness is always just right. If you're planning on getting the cream puffs, plan on at least an extra ten minutes, as they don't make them until you order them - this ensures a great puff that isn't soggy. The coffee is great - it's more like half-way between an espresso and a cafe americano with a nice crema on top. You might want to order it along with the cream puffs, and a pastry to have while you're waiting. If you order the puffs to go, please don't plan on letting them sit for any longer than a few hours or their efforts will be all for not.
As far as all of the other pastries and cookies, if it sounds good to you, then it probably is. One truly gets the feeling that when Keiko sets out to make any of these items, that she has really set her mind to making it the best that she possibly can. I hope you get a chance to drop by soon and give us your opinion!
re: bulavinaka
If one likes cream puffs, these beat Beard Papa any day of the week.
re: ipsedixit
After having Chantilly's, Beard Papa just won't do... The last time we went to Beard Papa was after dinner across the street at Kinchan's... my kids each had one, as well as my wife. I passed out of respect to Chantilly. While they ate their "cream puffs", I kept waxing sentimental about the puffs at Chantilly. As a result, everyone ventually stopped eating their cream puffs and we were all in agreement that there is no other cream puff other than Chantilly's.
re: bulavinaka
Keiko Nojima @ Patisserie Chantilly all the way.
I've tried every single dessert they offer....can't say which one is my favorite, as I loved them all :) Mont Blanc (MOST of my Japanese friends have said her Mont Blanc is better than those in Tokyo!), Chateau Chantilly, the new Strawberry Parfait, Choux aux Sesames....bulavinaka's post at the top says it all!
re: joejoe
Where is this place? Cardamom cake sounds amazing. I want some NOW.
I'm sure that if by any chance you're writing an article based on Chowhound recommendations, you'll remember the credit Chowhound!
FRANCISCO LOZANO, pastry chef at Ocean and Vine at the Loews Hotel in Santa Monica.
My favorites are the single vineyard chocolate trio:
valrhona's grand cru: caraibe warm
chocolate cake, guanaja tart,
manjari brulee / 12
He also makes seasonal desserts, like in fall, with a pumpkin dish of pumpkin souffle, pumpkin/pecan tart, pumpkin brulee, and the hottest pumpkin croquette-like ball with goat cheese and pumpkin inside..
The rest of the dessert menu can be found here:
I also love the dessert sampler at Whist at the Viceroy. Kimberly Seeley is the pastry chef.
re: revets2
Yes, Craig Strong is definitely a culinary wizard. He's traveled and cooked all over the world, so his dishes have many international twists. I remember one distinct ice cream he concocted - black truffle! Delishh.
re: revets2
The haupia cream puff was a very flakey pastry (top and bottom), sandwiched around cream. The cream had a slight flavor from cocounut, but was not heavy. It was served under a great caramel sauce. This was a regular dessert item, but I was nervous because: (1) I don't love coconut; and (2) it sounded a lot like profiteroles, which often disappoint me because the pastry is too dense, the sauce (usualy chocolate) tastes like Hershey's, and the custard or cream are tasteless. Roy's had none of those problems. The full order comes with carmelized bananas, but I don't think that was part of the bento box serving.
The other items I can remember being in the bento box last night (it changes daily) were: (1) a chocolate pot de creme (I loved the creamy mousse) with pistachio biscotti (my friend loved it) and a thin wafer shaped like a palm tree (mine again); (2) a small tart-shaped item that had the texture of bread pudding with different fruits; (3) a green tea mochi with a very loose mochi wrapper; (4) a dense chocolate brownie (really great) with vanilla ice cream and that same decadent caramel sauce; and (5) fresh fruit -- raspberries, cut-up pineapple and cut-up mango (almost a salsa) -- and sugar cookies to be dipped in a sweet and tangy mango-pineapple sauce.
Forgot to mention. The bento box was $13.
Another underrated "pastry" chef is Ken Namba at Kiriko. Most people know about the ice cream, but the other desserts I've had have been great. The kabocha pumpkin creme caramel that he often as is out-of-this world if you like pumpkin flavor. The texture is perfect and the flavores are awesome. It's not particularly sweet and doesn't use cinnamon like so many pumpkin desserts.
I also recently had a green tea creme brulee that was fantastic. I feared it would be very bitter because they use real green tea, but the sweetness of the brulee counteracted the bitterness, so it was neither too sweet nor too bitter. The tea flavor was very subtle.
And then there are the ice creams, but I'm not sure people consider that the role of a pastry chef.
This pastry chef isn't at a restaurant, but he makes fantastic french pastries and other desserts, and no one I know has heard of him, which is a shame. The chef is Jean-Louis Kippelen, and his pastry shop is called Caprice Pastries. It's on Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica. I love everything he makes, but his creme brulee is wonderful, as is anything made with chocolate (it's that wonderful kind of chocolate that isn't overly sweet).
re: L.A.Hound
Jean-Louis has been mentioned before - maybe by you, and I know I have... He is another one of those pastry chefs that's been under the radar. I truly enjoy his pastries as well, but what sets him apart from others is his cordial and fun attitude towards all that walk into his shop. I've mentioned before that he is like the little devil that appears on your shoulder in a puff of smoke - and entices you with tray upon tray of little bite-sized pastries of all sorts. You can tell he enjoys what he does!
I have a patissiere that I ALWAYS go to when I'm in the mood for not-so-sweet sweets. Amandine on Wilshire blvd. and Bundy. The owner is Japanese but trained in France. I would strongly suggest trying their strawberry moose pie, their killer cheesecake (honestly, its one of the best i've ever had), or their fruit tart. Try their quiche too. YUMYUM!
re: onigiriyumyum
Been meaning to try this place, but the few times I have been in that end of town was on mondays... I'll have to look up their hours... thanks
re: Dave and Stuff
She no longer works there.
re: revets2
What a small world!
Danielle Keene used to do some sublime desserts at Blair's in Silver Lake, and is now doing similar wonderfulness at Wilshire in Santa Monica.

Community choir to be launched in Carlisle
Last updated at 15:34, Tuesday, 02 October 2012
Singers young and old are invited to join a new community choir.
Inspired by the choral ventures of Gareth Malone – who helped lead the Military Wives Choir to number one in the charts – the Carlisle Community Choir is being launched by Trinity Area Community Trust on behalf of the city, and will be led by Andrew Nunn.
Mr Nunn, from the Royal Scottish Conservatoire in Glasgow, has extensive experience and is hoping to encourage people of all abilities to exercise their vocal chords.
The new choir will meet between 3.30pm and 5.30pm on Sunday afternoons, in Holy Trinity Church, Wigton Road, and is open to anyone who loves singing.
Mr Nunn said: "I am really looking forward to this new venture.
"It's going to be something really exciting for the area, drawing together people from all backgrounds across the city.
"We will come together on Sunday afternoons to share our love of singing and making music together and that is the starting point.
"The direction we go in will be shaped from there, and it will be really exciting to see how we will develop."
He added: "I encourage everyone who has a love of singing, regardless of level of experience, to come along; an enjoyment of singing is the only pre-requisite."
No musical knowledge or background is needed and there will be no auditions. Mr Nunn promises that rehearsals will be friendly, fun and exciting, and the music will be acceptable to all.
Despite not having held its first rehearsal, a Christmas concert has already been planned for the fledgling choir and, with the backing of Carlisle City Council, it is hoped other concerts will also be forthcoming.
Anne Quilter, portfolio holder for culture, health, leisure and young people, said: "A community choir is a great way to bring people together and we're delighted to be supporting this exciting new project. I hope people take up the opportunity to join."
Stephen Dunn, community development officer for the city council and organiser of Carlisle Music City, said he put together a small community choir to sing at the city's Christmas lights switch on last year.
"I really enjoyed it, but the job turned around and I didn't have time," he explained. "I helped set this up and I think it is a fantastic thing.
"The great part, is that you don't have to be able to sing – you surf on other people's voices, and everyone latches on to those great voices."
Mr Dunn is particularly pleased it is open to people from all over the city, rather than one area, and believes it will be very successful.
The first rehearsal is on Sunday, October 14.

CIVision: Bottle inspection system
CIVision's NB Advanced inspection system examines bottle necks using a telecentric lens, which enables the system to inspect necks accurately whatever the position of the bottle on the system's conveyor.
The telecentric lens verifies that neck threads are completely formed, inspects the sealing surface of the neck for planarity and detects molding flash, while an overhead camera inspects for choked neck opening and for ovality of the neck opening. The system's body inspection function checks bottle sidewalls and bottoms for flaws and imperfections. Multiple cameras and CIVCore™ proprietary software completes all inspection operations simultaneously, speeding bottles through the inspection process. The system also changes over quickly using a touchscreen to inspect new products.
