New to the library shelves are two memoirs, both written by young and accomplished African-American authors, which reflect on the challenges of growing up black in the United States. MK Asante draws on his experiences as a child and teen in urban Philadelphia in his book Buck. Men We Reaped, by Jesmyn Ward, recounts her family life based mainly in the poor rural South. Each writer, however, portrays the same pain and difficulty of coming of age in communities which are reeling from the dual legacies of racism and the drug culture.
For generations, Ward's extended family has lived along the Gulf Coast in Mississippi and it is "home" for her no matter where she currently resides. Men We Reaped refers to her brother and four friends, all of whom died within a span of a few years from what Ward originally thinks are disparate causes: drug overdose, suicide, car accident, murder. Instead, as she tells each of their stories she finds the common thread is the desperation of being a young black male living in a region meting out race-based criminal justice, few economic prospects and the attendant breakdown of a once strong family and neighborhood structure. Ward, a 2011 National Book Award winner, is a gifted writer whose graceful style shines throughout her narrative of tragedy.
Asante's Buck starts at a different place. Asante's family is well-educated and middle-class. His father is a prominent professor, and he has an older brother whom he adores. By Asante's teen years, his rebellious brother is incarcerated in Arizona, his parents' marriage is in tatters and his mother is severely depressed. Asante finds a substitute family on the streets of North Philadelphia and begins a downward spiral. His mother enrolls him in an alternative school, which another student characterizes as "the island of misfit toys," where Asante thrives. It is here where he determines he wants to write. Laced with quotes from Tupac to Orwell to Asante's own hip-hop work and including excerpts from his mother's journal, Buck is edgy, literary and blunt. Asante, a professor at Morgan State University, is also a filmmaker who previews his book here.
Showtime's pulse-pounding series Homeland, starring Damian Lewis and Claire Danes, is incredibly popular with both audiences and critics. Andrew Kaplan's new prequel novel Homeland: Carrie's Run is the perfect thing to tide Homeland's legion of fans over until the blockbuster show's third season premieres on September 29.
In 2006, CIA intelligence officer Carrie Mathison's meeting in Beirut with a new contact code-named Nightingale turns out to be an ambush. Carrie is sent back to Langley when she voices her suspicions that security was compromised. Back in the US, Carrie uncovers what she believes to be a terrorist plot. The stakes are high, and true to form, Carrie risks her career to expose evidence proving that Nightingale is connected to Iraqi Al Qaeda-leader Abu Nazir. Homeland: Carrie's Run takes readers into the fascinating world of espionage and counterterrorism. The same exciting plot twists and turns that make the show such a hit make this page-turning novel a fast, fun read that will give fans more of Carrie's backstory.
Homeland has garnered numerous industry awards and nominations, including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. There's still time for viewers new to the show to catch up on all of the action. The first two seasons of Homeland are available on DVD.
Three starlets share very different stories of life during Hollywood's Golden Age. In Rita Moreno: a Memoir, the actress recalls her childhood move from lush Puerto Rico to gritty New York City where she found her passion for singing and dancing. She made her Broadway debut at 13 and eventually headed to Hollywood where she changed her name and coped with constant typecasting. Moreno shares the details behind her relationships with some of Tinseltown's heaviest hitters, including Elvis Presley, Howard Hughes, and Marlon Brando. Eventually, Moreno found happiness in marriage and motherhood and she remains one of the few performers, and the only Hispanic, to win two Emmys, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.
Two years before her death in 1990, Ava Gardner was strapped for cash and didn't want to part with her jewels so she decided to sell her unvarnished story. She had a change of heart when she felt the conversations exposed her as too vulgar. Her ghost writer Peter Evans unearthed those bawdy recollections and with permission of her estate shares them in Ava Gardner: the Secret Conversations. Readers will savor the particulars of her marriages to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra, as well as her flings with George C. Scott and Howard Hughes (again!). Gardner, one of the great beauties to grace the silver screen, is no-nonsense and her stories are indeed salty, but she is also funny, frank and reflective.
Dolores Hart catapulted to fame when she starred opposite Elvis Presley in her 1957 film debut, Loving You. Nine films, a Broadway appearance, and several television roles later, Hart stunned the world when she turned away from Hollywood and her fiancé, and took the vows of a contemplative Benedictine nun. In The Ear of the Heart: An Actresses' Journey from Hollywood to Holy Vows, Hart and co-author Richard DeNeut, share her insider's perspectives of such wildly different worlds and her serenity shines through the pages. Check out God is the Bigger Elvis, the Oscar winning short film for more on the remarkable Mother Hart.
Two novels explore the impact sudden death has on loved ones left behind, particularly the wives. Despite the weighty premise, both authors offer portraits of realistic women dealing with grief, coping with untenable situations and finding the courage to begin again.
Georgia Silver-Waltz's life is turned upside down following her husband's sudden death. The Widow Waltz by Sally Koslow explores the grief, betrayal, hope and renewal experienced by the newly widowed Georgia and her daughters, Cola and Luey. Georgia and Ben's marriage was perfect. They lived in a lux apartment in Manhattan and enjoyed a vacation home in the Hamptons. Georgia was happy. And then Ben was gone. And with him went the money. Georgia takes charge of her life, finds a job, starts selling everything, and slowly steps into the dating pool. Cola and Luey are both forced to grow up as each deal with life-changing decisions. Koslow beautifully writes of a changing family dynamic and three women made stronger and brought closer despite their loss.
"It occurs to me that you and your two children have been living with your mother for two whole years, and I'm writing to see if you'd like to be rescued." Upon receipt of that letter, Libby Moran leaps at the opportunity to turn her life around in The Lost Husband by Katherine Center. The past two years were spent working a dead-end job and living with her narcissistic mother. The move to Aunt Jean's goat farm means a job, a change of scenery and perhaps a taste of bliss for Libby and her children. Life on Aunt Jean's goat farm means hard work, but it's also peaceful and the handsome farm manager is a nice diversion. As Libby slowly sheds her mantle of grief, she realizes that she has created a happy home for her family. This is a heartwarming story of love, family and forgiveness in a country setting complete with quirky small-town characters.
The Ludwig Conspiracy by Oliver Pötzsch is a fascinating voyage through time to the historic death of King Ludwig II. King Ludwig II, also known as the Fairy Tale King, the Swan King or Mad King Ludwig, was the King of Bavaria starting in 1864. His fairy tale castles have inspired many, and one is even the inspiration for the Walt Disney World logo. Ludwig's death was under extremely suspicious circumstances and, to this day, sparks debates among theorists.
Pötzsch mixes fact with fiction in this novel that, though set in modern day Munich, depicts the final months of the king and unravels a story about what may have happened that led to his downfall and death. Steven Lukas is an antique book seller who stumbles upon a treasure chest containing photos, a lock of hair and, most importantly, the diary of Theodore Marot. Marot is the assistant to the king's personal physician and friend to the king himself. Marot's account of Ludwig's final months is highly sought after, and Lukas finds himself rushing to uncover the diary's secrets before he meets a fate similar to the king.
This novel is a race against time to discover the truth and rewrite history. The tale will motivate you to do your own research to find out where the fiction ends and the truth begins. If you liked Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series you will not want to miss this stand-alone book by Pötzsch.
Lost Baltimore by Gregory Alexander and Paul Williams pays homage to vanishing icons from the landscape of Baltimore's past. Emphasis is on bygone buildings, but the authors also remember professional sports teams and businesses which left the city and impacted the livelihood of many denizens of Charm City. While tourists and residents see the Inner Harbor as the jewel in Baltimore's crown and enjoy updated sports' venues, this book sheds light on the dramatic changes to its skyline in just the past 150 years.
The authors start in 1860 with the demolition of the First Presbyterian Church and continue through today with the virtual disappearance of arabbers in the city. Detailed text and rich images bring Baltimore's past to life in this engaging coffee table page-turner. Mention is made of the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904 which destroyed so many buildings, lives and, indeed, the layout of the city. But the authors are careful to look at all aspects of life in Baltimore which have changed over the years. Enjoy reminiscing about cherished sports teams — the Baltimore Bullets left in 1973, followed by the Baltimore Colts a decade later. And whatever happened to the mysterious Poe Toaster whose annual visits ceased in 2009? It is the disappearing industries which have had the most impact on Charm City and its changing population. Major businesses which have left or are now defunct include the Baltimore Shipyards (1984), McCormick Spice plant (1989), Hutzler's (1990) and Bethlehem Steel plant at Sparrows Point (2012).
This fascinating look at our city sheds light on societal changes and the evolution of Baltimore from a manufacturing and shipping capital to tourist and business center. Paging through this entertaining and informative book allows readers to step back and enjoy the Baltimore of old.
The murder of a child is always shocking, and child killers even more so. In The Wicked Girls, Alex Marwood debuts with a gritty, psychological crime story about two British women trying to outrun their past. For Kirsty Lindsay and Amber Gordon, two girls from the same neighborhood but different worlds, their lives changed permanently one fateful afternoon when they were 11 and committed a horrendous crime against a child. After serving their time, they were given new identities and a chance to forge a new life. Amber, who drew a rougher lot as far as juvenile detention facilities go, eventually becomes a cleaning supervisor at a faded beach town amusement park. Kirsty is a successful journalist with a comfortable home and family, although recently the recession has put a strain on her career and finances. When a string of murders suddenly happens in the town where Amber lives, the two women are unexpectedly brought face-to-face, their shared past threatening to overwhelm them in new ways.
Marwood has constructed a gripping plot with shifting characters and twists like the maze of fun house mirrors in Amber's amusement park. The backgrounds and dark secrets of the characters are balanced with the crime itself, making this a good choice for readers who like well-developed characters and relationships as well as crime drama. Ambiguous and not at all reassuring, this novel examines social structures and the criminal justice system and questions whether someone should be forever indebted to society for a past mistake. Until the last pages, readers are left wondering if the girls' crime was accidental or the work of cold-blooded killers. Fans of Rosamund Lupton or Gillian Flynn will appreciate this murky, suspenseful story of flawed characters desperately grasping for normalcy.
A bottle is discovered off of the coast of Scotland. Inside is a message written in blood. Once it's determined that note is written in Icelandic, the case becomes another mystery for Department Q. A Conspiracy of Faith is the third Department Q novel written by Jussi Adler-Olsen and is the winner of the Nordic crime-writing honor The Glass Key Award. He is in excellent company as previous winners have included Stieg Larsson, Jo Nesbo and Henning Mankell. Readers who enjoy these authors won't want to miss out on this thrilling story.
A Conspiracy of Faith follows two primary storylines. Detective Carl Morck and his team work to decipher the damaged and decaying note found in the bottle and determine the identity of the author. Simultaneously, the reader follows a serial killer as he methodically plans to take his next victims. Although the message is determined to be several years old, Department Q works to find its origin, completely unaware that a similar crime is about to occur at the same location.
Jussi Adler-Olsen creates a cast of characters that are as real as they are complex. He establishes an authentic police environment as well as interesting interpersonal relationships, which draw the reader into the story. The novel moves along at an exciting pace and builds in intensity towards the dynamic conclusion.
Ten years ago, Quinn Barton left her fiancé Burke Morrison standing at the altar after the best man revealed the groom's cheating ways. Quinn's story, told in flashbacks and in the present, is at the center of Beth Harbison's humorous and heartwarming Chose the Wrong Guy, Gave Him the Wrong Finger. But Quinn's story wouldn't be complete without the resolution of her relationships with Burke and his family, for the best man was Burke's brother Frank, and their grandmother Dottie has remained a presence in Quinn's life.
Quinn and Burke began dating in high school and were set to marry following Quinn's college graduation. Quinn thought all her dreams were coming true until Frank's devastating disclosure. She returns the wedding presents and hits the road with Frank. The two end up in Vegas and enjoy a sizzling two-day interlude. But Quinn is still shell-shocked and not ready for a new relationship, especially with Burke's brother. Quinn returns home, shutters her heart and retreats to a life focused on work at her bridal shop. When Dottie comes to her looking for a wedding dress, Quinn realizes that Burke and Frank will be returning to town. Old wounds are re-opened, and Quinn finds herself questioning her decision to dump Burke. Her best friend Glenn senses her turmoil and is determined to get her out of her ten-year rut. He proposes a 30-Day Challenge, wherein he will give her a daily task that she MUST complete. These include Drink All Day Day, Wear a Side Pony Day, and Go Commando Day. Hilarity ensues as does a shift in Quinn's attitude about life and love.
Quinn finds herself once again torn between two brothers and readers will also choose sides in this romantic tug-of-war. Harbison peppers the story with pop culture references, and the succession of brides-to-be in her shop provide plenty of laughs. Quinn is a wounded but lovable character who must relive the past in order to finally create her future.
Night Film by Marisha Pessl will be one of the most talked about books of the fall. This new thriller is riveting, impossible to put down and hair-raisingly creepy.
It's the story of a washed-up journalist ruined by the story that got away. Scott McGrath was once a successful investigative journalist who tracked down the darkest, seediest stories. The one elusive target that cost him his career was film director Michael Cordova. Cordova is the director of dark, transgressive films that are so disturbing they cannot be played in theaters. The films are only rarely shown at secret screenings in tunnels around the world.
During his initial investigation of Cordova, McGrath got a lead that the secretive film director may be hurting children. McGrath went public with the accusation and was subsequently sued by Cordova's team of lawyers. Since he had no definitive proof, his career as a journalist was essentially over.
Fast-forward several years later. Cordova's daughter, Ashley, has just committed suicide under mysterious circumstances, and McGrath again becomes obsessed with the dark, twisted world of the Cordovas. Follow McGrath into the world of Michael Cordova where reality is elusive and dark forces may be at work.
Pessl's unique style will be one of the first things readers notice. She spins her dark labyrinthine tale by interspersing newspaper and website clippings throughout the book. The technique pulls the reader further into the book and adds to the overall authenticity of her story.
Readers who like creepy, disturbing stories will relish the dark paths McGrath will take to find the truth.

Statistics: Web Grows, Apache Profits
Web statistics specialist Netcraft measured over 230 million websites in its webserver survey for October 2009.
Apache comprises about 60% of the 4.3 million or so new sites gained since September, corresponding to 2.6 million sites, according to Netcraft. A large part (748 thousand) of these Apache sites is from German hosting company Hetzer Online, which offers dynamic DNS services allowing customers to create hostnames such as yourname.dyns.cx.
The marked growth was nevertheless offset by more than half a million Apache websites lost in the U.S. Netcraft attributes the loss primarily to huge numbers of expired hostnames on The Planet. The self-described "Global IT Hosting Leader" allegedly dropped 1.4 million hostnames in October alone.
Microsoft's webserver lost a fraction of share (-0.37%) in October. However, apart from Apache, Nginx grew a fraction (+0.39%), translating into a gain for the server developed by Russian Igor Sysoev by 1.1 million websites in October to a total of 13.8 million. Netcraft considers China Telecom largely responsible for Nginx's success, especially the over 400 thousand new blogging sites at 163.com.

Today JB took the day off work and went to the cabin with the boys, leaving me with a blissfully quiet house all day. The timing couldn't be more perfect and I love when life's road-bumps just sort of smooth themselves out a little by delivering some zen right when you need it. (Of course, sometimes it works the other way too, but let's just focus on the positive here.) I took advantage of the solitude — even the dog has been gone at the vet all day for her spay surgery — by cleaning the house and catching up on laundry, and I realize exactly how lame that sounds, but man, it's so incredibly satisfying to do those things when you can actually enjoy the results for a little while.
In between writing assignments and folding clothes, though, I found myself staring blankly into space a few times. The house was so silent, so utterly devoid of movement and life, and I wondered how things will really be when school starts back up in September. For the first time since I started working from home, both kids will be in school full time, and while I have been greatly looking forward to the exotic experience of getting things done without a cacophonous amount of background noise and distractions, I realize too that it will be an adjustment.
Will I revel in the luxury of having 6-7 hours of freedom each day? Or will I be achingly lonely? Will I take advantage of this new schedule to expand my freelance career or find other rewarding ways to invest my time? Or will I end up feeling invisible, isolated, and more than a little useless?
I suspect the answer will be "All of the above, at one time or another." I mean, that's kind of how things go, right? Balancing work and home and parenthood is always a mixed bag, wherever you're coming from. But it does feel like my options will open up this year. The road can be bumpy sometimes, but who knows where it will lead? Maybe the best places yet are just around the corner.

so will you use your extra hours to compile and publish/self publish all your parenting poetry from the boys' younger years? You were always spot on and I've been waiting to share a compilation of your stuff with expectant friends. My sister's first baby is due in January….. No pressure :)

This is precisely where I am right now. I'm an exhausted and pregnant SAHM to a very extroverted child. I cannot wait for school to start. But… She's starting Pre-K. Five days of school with a lot less parent participation. Last year I complained that they only had her 12 hours a week and I was generally there for at least 4 of them. I wonder if this year I will revel in the time to get things done, or feel lonely for her.

My experience is that at first it seems like an unimaginably large block of time…but pretty soon you fill it up & the day goes by in a flash and before you know it, it's pickup time. Actually, I find that 6-7 hours a day completely to myself is just about what I need.

Last year was my first year with all kids in school all day. I work from home as well, so was looking forward to the extra time. It is true the day goes by really quickly. What I found as an introvert was that the time alone helped me recharge my batteries in a way that I did not even know they needed recharging. By the end of the year, I had more energy and was more clear headed than I had been in years. So while the summer has been nice, and I love my kids, I am once again looking forward to Sept.

My advice? Give yourself a schedule. I spend 3-4 hours a day writing, maximum of an hour cleaning (when you only have 60 mins man, you get it done fast) and the other 1-2 hours doing whatever the heck I please. ME TIME. No one has to know what you do, and you sure as heck do not need to feel guilty about it. Embrace your time, work hard, clean fast, and give yourself a break!

Ness's comment is spot on. I'd further suggest that you create a few to-do lists so that you know what to do ahead of time (I tend to dither "what to do, what to do" when faced with more than 15 min of free time). Mine are sort of broken down by how much time I have available – have 60 min, do X, Y, or Z, but if I have only 30, then I do A, B, or C. I also have items separated by status – the recurring tasks (scoop litter box, laundry) vs the 1-time tasks (fix broken hinge on cabinet door), as well as by fun things that I want to do vs not-so-fun things that I have to do. I know this sounds incredibly nerdy, but I create the lists while I'm distracted at work, so none of my precious free time is wasted trying to make decisions.
Regarding the quiet, when we moved in 2012, I went back to our house of 8 years to do the final clean up. When the house was sparkling and pristine (even the realtor representing the buyer made a point of commenting on how beautifully I'd cleaned), it was so weirdly stripped of our personalities that I felt like I had to yell all the kids' names one last time, just to prove to myself that we'd existed. It was so strange to call for them and not hear pounding footsteps follow. I was glad to get back in my car and return to the mashup of hugs and dirt and chaos and laughter.

The grass is always greener, isn't it? I'm with you. My 4YO just started school again and I'm…a little lost and a little happy. I love the alone time, but I do miss seeing her face pop around the corner. I'm getting an assload of work done, but picking her up from school and singing her lullabies to sleep at night are my two favorite times of the day.
Then again, being able to go to the bathroom without having to narrate what I'm doing through the door is kind of priceless.

SAME BOAT. For the FIRST time this fall both kids will be in full time school. First time I've had a REAL break in 8.5 years of parenting (as a full time parent). I have been fantasizing about it NONSTOP for about 12 months. Counting down. Cannot WAIT. All the other moms have been saying they are dreading their youngest going off to Kinder and I just laugh at them because I AM SO FREAKING READY. So last night we went to back to school night to see his classroom, etc. And I actually cried. So. I guess you're right. Mixed bag. It isn't just all jumping, gleeful Mommy. It's also sentimental and nostalgic and end of an era and all that. But, as another commenter said. As an introvert, I think I am finally FINALLY going to feel normal again this year.

Cowboy Ciao in Scottsdale - Comments?
- s
- sunshineinaz Jul 6, 2007 01:30 PM
We are headed to Cowboy Ciao this weekend and was wondering what thoughts were on this restuarant since I haven't been before. I love Kazimierz so have passed by it a ton of times. I didn't see any other posts on it. What are some favorite dishes there?
Have you done a search? There are several posts in SW board about Cowboy Ciao. I myself have not been there yet so I'm very jealous of you! I'm waiting for that special occasion to go. I've read several posts though that talk about the wondeful dishes they have. Here is one:
Do come back and tell us how it was!
re: scorpioscuba
Thanks! This helps a lot. I will defintely report back.
Cowboy Ciao is fantastic. Everyone has their favorites, but I would definately try the chopped salad. It's amazing. Many also love the mushroom pan fry. If you love Kaz you must love wine, and they share the same wine list. Talk to your waiter about matching up a wine with whatever you order.
The place has an all-around delicious menu. It seems to be one of the most commonly praised and suggested restaurants on this board.
I've been about five-or-so times, and one of my favorite dishes is the blue cheese stuffed pork chop. It's fantastic, and undoubtedly one of the best pork chops I've had (have ordered it several times). it comes with a fantastic ancho bread pudding with apple jus and fig. It's a knockout, and I'm not even a very big pork fan. I've also tried the short ribs, puerco lento, and have finished up part of an espresso filet. All of these choices I can vouch for as being fantastic. Take your pick of anything off the menu, and you will likely not be disappointed. Have also tried many of the appetizers and have really enjoyed them all. The chopped salad seems to garner a huge amount of praise and fans, and I'm one of them. It's really very good. Also recently tried their quesadilla appetizer (which I believe is sort of a "quesadilla of the day" type item, in which the filling changed depending on when you're there), it had incredibly well prepared, sweet shredded pork, dried cherries, and other ingredients I can't think of off the top of my head. Last time I had their soup special, it was also fantastic. The only thing I haven't enjoyed off of the appetizer menu is the elk tostada. While certainly not bad, it failed to impress me as everything else there does.
If you're a mushroom fan, the mushroom pan fry is also really delicious, although quite rich. Unless you know you really like mushrooms, I might recommend getting the mini pan fry as one appetizer and perhaps sharing it (it's still good sized), only becuase the entire entree is a bit heavy and mushroom-intensive for me to eat an entire large entree of myself (of course you may think differently).
The deserts are all incredible, and I have never been disappoint by them. A personal favorite is the cuppa' hot chocolate, although all are insane good.
Essentially, nearly everything on the menu is a safe bet. Take your pick of what sounds best, and you should leave satisfied.
Cowboy Ciao is a definite board favorite and I have never heard anything but very good things to say about the food and service.
One note, however, is that there has been some expressed concerns about how high the noise level can get, so if you are looking for a quite, romantic dinner, you may wish plan accordingly.

re: sunshineinaz
Thanks for the update! - been following this thread as we'll be having dinner for the first time this week also.
I visited CC last night for the first time. The buffalo carpaccio app is fabulous. I ordered the pistachio-crusted salmon entree. I also tried my friend's puerco lento. at first, i preferred his entree over mine... after the carpaccio, the salmon was not salty enough. but after a few bites, i started to really enjoy the salmon. The walnut-cranberry chutney of the puerco lento is fantastic (eaten with the pork and the potato casserole). For dessert, we shared the chocolate peanut butter pot pie. YUM!
re: starlightjulian
I also had my first experience with CC last night. My boyfriend took me there for a special occasion - we're engaged!
We started with the Mini Mushroom Pan Fry which was absolutely delicious. I loved the variety of mushrooms with the ancho cream (just enough spice) and polenta. Yum! We got an order of ciabatta bread with the olive tapenades which was also delicious. I ordered the Espresso Rubbed Filet (in a steak kinda mood) and I was not disappointed. It was so hard too choose though as there were many items on the menu that sounded delicious. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and the cabernet demi-glace was a great accompaniment. The tortilla smashed potatoes though were a star - a very unique take on boring mashed potatoes. DF ordered the Elk Strip Loin - I was a little wary that it would be too gamey but I was wrong. It was to die for. As was the mushroom risotto. I snuck plenty of bites of that off his plate as he was eating my potatoes! :) We didn't have dessert there as DF had other plans - an impromtu overnight to Prescott. We'll definitely be back to CC. I love that it is a pretty casual laid back restaurant with an amazing menu. I definitely want to try the puerco lento next time.
re: scorpioscuba
Best Wishes to you and your Fiancee! I have been there many times, but have never ordered the shrooms! The cream sauce always deters me, and no one in my party has ever taken interest in the dish. Is it really rich and heavy?
Congratulations on your engagement ScorpioScuba!
Four of us ate at Cowboy Ciao for the first time last week. Two live in Scottsdale, and we were visiting from Boston. We all LOVED this place. Thanks everyone for the tips on what to order.
It started off great the minute we walked in. We loved the vibe of the place, were warmly greeted, and seated promptly at that cozy raised table. I have to say that we ordered a lot of food, too much, and everything was a winner. Cocktails to start off were excellent - I had the Danica, which was similar to a Sidecar but with elderflower cordial. For appetizers, we ordered the justly famous Stetson chopped salad (wonderful ingredients such as smoked salmon, air-dried corn, arugula, Israeli couscous, asiago cheese, currants, and pumpkin seeds, all mixed tableside and tossed with a creamy herb dressing), the equally delicious mini-mushroom pan fry with creamy ancho chili sauce, a fantastic special of roasted pork sliders, and the rich Lousiana gratin of crayfish and and andouille sausage. I know, what were we thinking? Ha - first time here and everything looked so good. My entree special was delicious - perfectly cooked escolar over a chilled crabmeat and peapod noodle salad - two ordered the oft-recommended espresso-rubbed filet with tortilla-mashed potatoes, and the fourth in our party ordered my favorite (by a slim margin) entree of the night - "Duck Duck Duck (no goose)". Wow was that amazing. Tender, savory duck meatloaf topped with seared foie-gras and a port demi-glace with sage bread pudding. Everything was so good. Well of course, we were so full from over-ordering and loving every bite but we made the 'mistake' of looking over the desserts. Ahh, now I see why the desserts are listed first on the dinner menu! Since it was our last night in Scottsdale, we decided to just throw caution to the wind and ordered the decadent "cuppa red hot chocolate", the creamy chevre cheesecake with candied walnuts and fig tapenade, and, when we saw "bacon cookies", well, we had to try those too (large, moist cookies filled with dried fruit and nuts or chocolate? with the salty/savory accent of bacon).
I also have to comment on our server, Kirsten, who was cheerful, patient, knowledgeable, and engaging - our service was just as wonderful as the food. Also, we went on a Wednesday night, and had no problem with the noise that others had mentioned.
The next day, we were still talking about the place, and that it would be nice to be regulars. I can see why Cowboy Ciao is pretty much well-loved across the board. In fact, one of our party commented that all the humorous quotes on the menu regarding the signature dishes sounded like they were all uttered by "you Chowhounds" : )
We'll be spending more time in the Phoenix area soon, so we will definitely be back. We had a great time.
re: Rubee
I almost ordered the Duck, even though I knew how foie gras is cultivated (never had foie gras), and the sage bread pudding sounded wonderful, but as soon as the server mentioned corn (allergy) was an ingredient, I had to bail out. I was willing to try foie gras once, but to suffer doubly from the corn and the guilt was too much for me :(
Ooh, I will def. try the chevre cheesecake should I ever be fortunate to dine at Cowboy Ciao again! Why, oh, why must I be allergic to mushrooms?? I miss 'shrooms!!
re: Rubee
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I've always been curious about the chevre cheesecake and have come very close to ordering it, but can never pass up the sweeter items (e.g., cuppa' hot chocolate, which is one of my favorite deserts...anywhere).
Like starlightjulian, I have a hard time eating foie gras (never do), but glad to hear that the dishes I don't normally order are equally delicious. The pork sliders sound gread too, as I know CC can do pork, in seemingly any style and cut, very well.
re: ciaogal
Never tried it, although I'm sure it is fantastic. I can, however, vouch for the shank, chop or special quesadilla (in terms of pork dishes). All are delicious, of course.
Mmmm. . .One of my favorites. I've been there so many times, I lost track a long time ago. If you love Kaz, you'll be happy to see they have the same giant wine list. I love the espresso rubbed filet and the puerco lento. How can you not love slow cooked pork? The cuppa hot chocolate is amazing. It used to be called Chocolate Pot de Creme and was slightly different (better in my mind). I used to describe that dessert to friends as sex in a cup. Just in case this gets read, I'll mention that I miss the blue and blue tart - blueberries and blue cheese. I think we ordered it on a dare, but I still dream about that tart from time to time. Have a great dinner!

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Bombers forced to rejig defence ahead of must-win game
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will head into Hamilton for a must-win game against the Tiger-Cats on Saturday with a new defensive line that will include a raw rookie and a converted defensive tackle platooning at one end position.
With both of Winnipeg's starting defensive ends now out of the lineup with injuries -- Alex Hall is out for the season with a knee injury and Jason Vega is out for at least this week with a toe injury -- the Bombers held their final full practice of the week at Canad Inns Stadium on Thursday with Bryant Turner and Youri Yenga platooning at one end position.
Non-import Fernand Kashama continued at practice to play the other end position, where Kashama has rotated all season but has played a bigger role in recent weeks as the club has struggled with ratio issues caused by injuries elsewhere in the lineup.
Turner played defensive end in high school and college but he has only ever played as a defensive tackle in his CFL career. Yenga, meanwhile, is a raw rookie who has seen just two weeks of actual action this season and none since Week 5.
That's hardly an ideal situation for a Winnipeg team that must win in Hamilton in a game that will see the loser eliminated from playoff contention, but it's where the Bombers find themselves as they prepare to travel to Hamilton on Friday in advance of Saturday afternoon's critical contest.
Turner missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but sounded as if he were not going to be denied the chance to play in this week's critical game.
"I've been pestering at the coaches to get back on the field," said Turner, who doesn't think the shift from tackle to end will pose significant problems for him.
"It was kind of my natural position in college and high school, so I'm looking forward to getting back out there," said Turner.
The other major positional change on defence this week will see Johnny Sears take over at strong-side linebacker after Demond Washington, who had the job for just one game, was injured in practice earlier this week.
Sears, who will be replaced at cornerback in the starting lineup by Brandon Stewart, said he's looking forward to doing a lot more hitting from the linebacker position.
"I welcome it," said Sears. "I don't mind (the physical contact) at all. I've just got to be the hammer and not the nail."
Sears is the fifth SAM linebacker the Bombers have auditioned this season since cutting former SAM Clint Kent at the end of training camp and head coach Tim Burke was asked Thursday afternoon if he now regretted the decision to cut Kent.
Burke said the decision to release Kent after training camp was made by the whole coaching staff, but he said he didn't disagree with the decision at the time and it doesn't sound like he does now either.
"You make decisions and you have to live with them," said Burke. "Clint's been a part-time starter for Edmonton too."
Kent was signed by the Eskimos soon after his release by Winnipeg but he's been injured at times and has not been a regular starter with the Eskimos this season.

- If you want your car to go faster put as many thrusters on the back as you like and change the number to something like push 5 pull 0.
- If your car isn't moving remember to unfreeze it.
- Make sure all the wheels are moving in a forward direction.

|Cable Center Oral History Collection
|Nick Davatzes created and developed two of the brightest gems among cable's programming crown jewels: The A&E Network and The History Channel. The son of a Greek immigrant, Davatzes was born and raised in New York City, graduated from St. John's University and received a Ph.D. from New York University. After 12 years with the Xerox Corp. he was recruited to work for Gus Hauser at Warner Amex, which owned cable systems and programming services. At Warner Amex Davatzes learned the basics of the cable business and helped develop some of the innovative cable systems that the company built in cities such as Dallas. In his oral history he recounts some of the experiences at Warner Amex with franchising, programming and building and running the interactive QUBE systems. He also touches on the activities of some of his colleagues such as Dick Aurelio and Larry Wangberg. In 1983 he was recruited to run a merger between two failed cable networks: The Entertainment Network, owned by RCA and the Rockefeller family and the ARTS Network, owned by Hearst Corp. and ABC. Out of the wreckage of these two networks he built the A&E Network, taking it to profitability in three years. In his oral history he talks about the challenges of obtaining distribution, product and establishing an identity for the new network. Davatzes was also involved in many of the legislative battles the cable industry fought in Washington over the years and talks at some length about those experiences. He also discusses the philosophy of programming with particular reference to such A&E hits as the "Biography" series, the "Hornblower" series and "100 Centre St." In 1995 A&E launched a second network, The History Channel, which also proved to be a quick success with viewers and advertisers. Finally, Davatzes talks about the special issues attached to running a business owned by different partners and how for more than 17 years he managed to keep all parties involved and satisfied.

Still In Love With You Lyrics - Thin Lizzy
Review The Song (5)
Think I'll just fall to pieces
If I don't find something else to do
This sadness never ceases
I'm still in love with you
My head, it keeps on reeling
It's got me in a crazy spin
Darling, darling, darling
Is this the end?
Still in love with you
They say time has a way of healing
Dries all the tears from your eyes
But darling it's this empty feeling
My heart can't disguise
After all that we've been through
I try my best but it's no use
I guess I'll keep on loving you
Is this the end?
Now that it's all over, woman
There's something I think you should know
Baby, baby, think it over
Just one more time before you go
Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby
Help me see it through
I'm still in love with you

Rest In Peace Gary Moore | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/8/11
This is my favorite blues song of all times. I was lucky enough to see Thin Lizzy play it twice. Gary Moore has not been with them in a long time but he wrote this gem of a song. In the words of Jimmy Vaughn, "Heaven done called another blues stringer back home" Rest in peace.
I tried my best, but its no use... | Reviewer: joe | 4/12/08
I don't care what anyone says, this is the greatest breakup song in the world. Even if I wasn't with anyone and I'd hear this song, it would still have an emotional grip on me. Thats good song writing. Thin Lizzy was such a dynamic band, Philo's passing truly was a tragedy.

As Oregon's 2013 football season came to a close, the majority opinion was, "the sooner the better." It's a testament to how high the bar has been raised at Oregon that another double-digit win season, capped with a bowl victory, was cause for disappointment.
However, amid the gloom, hope for next season came when quarterback Marcus Mariota and his teammates, center Hronis Grassu and All-Everything cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, declared that they would all be returning to Oregon next season. This was great news, and a bit of a surprise, as all three could have left for the NFL, and many pundits had them inked in as gone.
What wasn't a surprise, though, was that the five-star embodiment of the "blur" and the recruiting symbol of Oregon's ascension to elite status, the Black Momba — De'Anthony Thomas — wouldn't be coming back.
His first two seasons at Oregon were nothing short of spectacular, elevating him to the status of "SportsCenter" regular.
But the 2013 season was a different story. The relationship he and Chip Kelly had forged produced greatness for Thomas, as he befuddled opposing defenses — in large part because they never knew where or when he would show up.
But this past year, things were different. It wasn't that first-year head coach Mark Helfrich took the biggest play maker Oregon football had seen in years out of the picture because he thought it would be better for Oregon. It was more a matter that the personnel on offense had changed in a major way. Rather than being the wildcard that Kelly played so effectively when LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner were available, Thomas, all 5-foot-8 and 170 pounds of him, took his shot at being the featured every-down back.
Changes in player personnel affecting star status has happened before at Oregon. Back in 2007 the basketball team had a supercharged weapon that their foes didn't know how to deal with in Tajuan Porter. Free from the duties of being the point guard, Porter dashed around the court, firing up 3's with abandon. But when Aaron Brooks and Bryce Taylor left, Porter took over the point, with the unfortunate result that his, and the team's, performance plummeted.
Fortunately, Oregon's football team didn't follow suit and fall apart offensively with the change in Thomas's role.
With Marcus Mariota being a gifted runner, the read option frequently called for him to hang onto the ball and go, with great success. Also, the passing game was emphasized much more than it had been the previous two seasons, with Bralon Addison, Josh Huff and Keanon Lowe all making big plays game after game.
So when Thomas injured himself returning the opening kickoff in the Cal game, the offense didn't collapse. Instead, it was the formal beginning of DAT's replacement by committee. The team kept going and stayed undefeated during his recovery. It was when he returned for the game against Stanford, with Mariota playing injured, that the Ducks lost, and for the remainder of the season, the once irreplaceable DAT had a hard time getting back into the flow.
When Helfrich took over a lot of people wondered what changes he'd make at Oregon. In the case of how Thomas was used, Helfrich appraised the situation he had, and dealt with it in a way that not only kept the offense humming, but also gave players experience that will help the team next season. Huff will be gone, but Addison and Lowe both return.
(And speaking of "returns," Addison did a decent job of filling that role as well.) Thomas Tyner and Byron Marshall both gained valuable experience and will be that much better, allowing prized running back recruit Royce Freeman time to get his feet under him.
If Thomas had stayed at Oregon, he would not have regained the position of featured back. He could have been used as a slot receiver — a hot position in the NFL right now — and one that would have fit right in with Oregon's now-potent aerial attack. But DAT decided to move on, and so will Oregon football.

The forthcoming family adventure film "Speed Racer" is heading to the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. ComingSoon reported that on Wednesday, April 2, 2008, Warner Bros. Pictures and the organizers of the film festival have let out announcement that the Wachowski brothers' film scheduled to bow in theaters on May 9 will be the closing film for the film festival.
According to United Press International, the special screening of the film starring Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci and Matthew Fox will be done on Saturday, May 3 at the Borough of Manhattan Community College Tribeca Performing Arts Center in Lower Manhattan, New York as well as at the Pace University Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts. The site further noted that some of the film's stars are expected to attend the previewing at the former venue.
About the choosing of the film itself to close the festival, the co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival Jane Rosenthal revealed, "Warner Bros. has been a big part of the festival many times over the years and we are thrilled that the Wachowskis and producer Joel Silver are bringing 'Speed Racer' to us this year to close the festival." Adding to Rosenthal's comment, Silver stated, "The Tribeca Film Festival is a defining event in New York's entertainment culture, so it is an honor to have 'Speed Racer' chosen as the festival's closing night screening."
The 2008 Tribeca Film Festival will be held from April 23 to May 4 in Manhattan, New York. It was founded back in 2002 by Rosenthal and actor Robert De Niro following the World Trade Center's attacks on September 11, 2001. This year, the festival will be opened with Tina Fey's comedy "Baby Mama".

By Donald Margulies
Written by Pulitzer Prize winner, Donald Margulies, Time Stands Still takes place against a backdrop of the war in Iraq. Photojournalist Sarah Goodwin returns home to Brooklyn, New York, to her foreign correspondent partner, James, in order to recover from injuries inflicted by a roadside bomb while following the conflict.
While she recovers, they have disagreeing opinions about whether or not they will return to cover the action. She is addicted to the adrenaline rush of documenting the atrocities of war. He has had enough. Sarah nevertheless has time to think about much more than the dangers of her high-stakes career. At a deeper level of introspection, she also faces its ambiguities, with its required dispassionate observation of horrific events and her need to control the depth of her reactions by freezing such events in an instant of time. She is eventually faced with the prospects of living a more conventional life, far from the thrill of battle.
At the center of Time Stands Still is a love story. Conflict, growth and change. It is about the choices and compromises we all make - in relationships, in work, and even in war - and how the decisions of the past create the present and how emotional connections in the moment define the range of alternatives for the future.
