'Full Moon'
19 March 2011
'Full Moon'
London. Departure.
So it begins again. I've been up country and would normally have come back to London the night before heading off on tour but I guess I'm getting blase at this stage. Getting up this morning, I worked out that it would be about 36 hours before I arrived at my hotel in Santiago, a fact that was more than a little hard to take on board. It was a beautiful morning, the first here after three weeks of relentless greyness. The sun shone in cold blue skies, with every surface wet from melted frost as I got on the train.
London was a bit of a run around, not least because I hadn't even started packing. Digging out summer wardrobe again felt strange, yo-yoing between Winter and Summer, this being the third round trip to the southern hemisphere in as many months. Managed a haircut then out to Heathrow.
Half the tour was in the BA lounge, as there are a limited selection of routes between Europe and Chile. Once on board, we had a sizable delay as the airport caterers had left a truck in the way of our plane. It took over an hour to locate someone who could move it and I couldn't help but think that in a similar situation at a U2 show, our production team would have had the damn thing gone in minutes (one way or another).
It turns out that Chile is quite a long way from London. I knew this, of course, but there's a certain denial that kicks in when you get on board a twelve-hour flight. Ate, read. Watched True Grit which, to be honest I found a little ho-hum, despite the great performances from the two leads. Slept a while, then woke up with a start and found myself looking at something that at first I had some difficulty processing. Outside the window of the darkened plane cabin, hanging in a black void sky was an outrageously huge full moon. The wildly disorientating thing was that I was looking down on it. The perfect circle of silver was sitting in the sky considerably lower that my eye level, far below the 'horizon' of the aeroplane. Coming out of sleep it was the wildest sight and it seemed to be brighter and clearer than I've ever seen the moon. I was absolutely captivated - who has ever looked down and seen the full moon (OK, apart from those astronaut guys)? It was magical, all the dials spinning, I stared at it for nearly 30 minutes before it faded away.

Hi Willie, it must have been incredible to see the full moon from such an extraordinary perspective. It is great that you had such a rare experience to look down on it. I also love the magical silver light of a full moon. Thanks for all your wonderful updates!

Yep, we had a phenomenal moonshow on Saturday night as well. Luckily, we'd booked for the theatre (on the riverside) and saw this huge pale salmon pink moon hovering above the embankment of the river. Awesome. Back on the road/wing, Willie. Thanks a million for your updates and insights. Here we go again.

During an aerial application flight, the engine started to lose power. The pilot elected to perform a precautionary landing to a field. During the precautionary landing, he observed a fence and berm ahead and added power to go over the fence; however, the engine lost all power. During the forced landing, the airplane hit the fence. The postaccident engine examination revealed that a support bracket in the carburetor air box separated and entered the carburetor. The separated piece blocked the venturi and obstructed the airflow within the engine, resulting in the subsequent loss of engine power. An examination of the remaining engine and airframe systems revealed no anomalies.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Professor Robert Godke says some of the calves were sired by

Godke says semen from 25 bulls - some now deceased - was

As for some of what I need to catch up on. . .I love Kingsley so much! He has become my best friend. I know you all have seen what a great Boy he is. The training was going well, but David said he needed to be with other dogs and socialize. When I heard this I thought I would go crazy a whole week without him. As we watched him drive away I started to cry and it nearly broke my heart. I didn't know how to sleep without my cuddle bug! The week was rough I cannot lie. However, David sent us pictures and videos to see Kingsley's progress. Chad also helped me through the process and reminded me how strong I am.
When Kingsley came home we decided we would take what worked for our family and Kingsley and thanked David very much for his time! I would also like to add that I know some of you had great concern for the muzzle that Kingsley wore. I would like to say that was something Kingsley only wore a couple of times at the trainer's request. I do not even own one. But during training that is what he felt we needed for the safety of everyone, and I followed the rules to make sure everyone was safe, including my Kingsley. The last thing I would want is for someone to get hurt and for Kingsley to get blamed. Thank you all for your thoughts on this matter.
The other thing I know you all got to see was when I went to Long Beach Grand Prix and got to ride in my friend's car. I have always been a thrill seeker. I spent many years sitting on the edge of race tracks -- motocross, speedway, cars, and boat races! I have been on the sidelines. I have been on the tracks. And I have been in the water. However, this is something I have not done for so many years and I loved every minute of it. I have wanted to do the Bob Durant racing school since I was 17 years old. When my friend Harrison invited me to Long Beach to ride in his car, I was so excited. It came at a perfect time. All of my kids came too. Unfortunately the race car that I was supposed to drive in that day had mechanical problems earlier so I couldn't drive the car, but I did get to be a passenger in a Bob Durant car. Can you believe it?!? That was just the beginning of my racing. Soon I will be out on the Bob Durant Racing Track! I hope to get my license and ride with the big boys! All my children are living their own lives and it's time for me to live mine. I am so grateful to my children, my family and to you. This is such an exciting time.
Thank you for patience on my blog entries. Sometimes these blogs overwhelm me and it is difficult to relive some things. My sobriety comes first, my family and Kingsley come second, and then you are next.
XO Talk to you next week


text: Schweizer Slams Obama, Congress for Using 'Milker Bills' to Extort Donations Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 24 Oct 2013 post a comment On Wednesday, Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer slammed President Barack Obama and lawmakers in Washington for using "milker bills" to extort campaign contributions, which are often used to subsidize their lavish lifestyles. Appearing on CNBC's Kudlow Report, Schweizer said so-called "milker bills" in Congress had "nothing to do with the dairy industry" and were all about "milking donations and lobbying gigs for family and friends." As Breitbart News has reported, in Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets, Schweizer details how lawmakers in Washington's permanent political class extract campaign contributions from donors to subsidize their lavish lifestyles. Some of Schweizer's research about these "slush funds" from congressional "leadership PACs" was revealed in a 60 Minutes exposé on Sunday. Schweizer emphasized that if the political economics is looked at, "there is not a lot of money to be made by fixing problems." "You gotta create fear in the mind of a powerful industry or constituency group," Schweizer said. He obliterated Obama's White House for using a "double milker bill" in which the White House used the Stop Online Privacy Act to pit two powerful industries—Hollywood and Silicon Valley—against each other. Schweizer said campaign fundraising went up fivefold after Silicon Valley thought the Stop Online Privacy Act would pass. "Boy, did they deliver," Schweizer said of Silicon Valley. Schweizer said Hollywood was eventually furious when the Obama administration announced it would not support the bill only after a lot of Hollywood donors had maxed out. "It's legal extortion," Schweizer said. "You don't have to say anything; it's apparent to people what's going to happen." Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets was released on Tuesday and is No. 12 on the Amazon's list of top-selling books as of this writing.

[QUOTE=brady's a catcher;4315683]I hear you. I just meant that in both elections the incumbent was/is very beatable and voters who are not big supporters of the incumbent would love to vote against him, only to have a meh (at best) choice on the other side.
Romney is a much stronger candidate than Kerry, but Obama will be much hard to topple than W, and a lot of that is race based, imo.[/QUOTE]
I agree that Obama will be more difficult to defeat than GDubbs should have been. Its why Romney was the only serious candidate this season. He has a potential crossover appeal that the social conservatives simply don't have. Christie/Rubio/Ryan/Daniels all could have had higher ceilings but alas they didn't run.

Thanos is a fictional comic book supervillain that has appeared in books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Iron Man #55 (Feb. 1973) and was created by writer-artist Jim Starlin. Debuting in the Bronze Age of Comic Books, the character has been featured in over four decades of Marvel continuity and a self-titled series. Thanos has appeared in other Marvel-endorsed products, including animated television series, arcade and video games, toys, trading cards and a non-speaking cameo at the end of the 2012 film The Avengers; Josh Brolin will voice Thanos in both 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy and 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron. Thanos was ranked number 47 on IGN's top 100 comic book villains of all time.[1]
Writer-artist Jim Starlin originally conceived of Thanos of Titan during college psychology classes. As Starlin described:
|I went to college between doing U.S. military service and getting work in comics, and there was a psych class and I came up with Thanos ... and Drax the Destroyer, but I'm not sure how he fit into it, just anger management probably. So I came [sic] up to Marvel and [editor] Roy [Thomas] asked if I wanted to do an issue of Iron Man. I felt that this may be my only chance ever to do a character, not having the confidence that my career was going to last anything longer than a few weeks. So they got jammed into it. Thanos was a much thinner character and Roy suggested beefing him up, so he's beefed up quite a bit from his original sketches ... and later on I liked beefing him up so much that he continued to grow in size.[2]
Starlin has admitted the character is influenced by Jack Kirby's Darkseid:
|Kirby had done the New Gods, which I thought was terrific. He was over at DC at the time. I came up with some things that were inspired by that. You'd think that Thanos was inspired by Darkseid, but that was not the case when I showed up. In my first Thanos drawings, if he looked like anybody, it was Metron. I had all these different gods and things I wanted to do, which became Thanos and the Titans. Roy took one look at the guy in the Metron-like chair and said : "Beef him up! If you're going to steal one of the New Gods, at least rip off Darkseid, the really good one!"[3]
Thanos' first appearance was in an extended storyline that spanned Iron Man #55 (Feb. 1973), Captain Marvel #25-33 (bi-monthly: March 1973 – Jan. 1974), Marvel Feature #12 (Nov. 1973), Daredevil #107 (Jan. 1974), and Avengers #125 (July 1974). He returned in an extended storyline that spanned Strange Tales #178-181 (Feb.–Aug. 1975), Warlock #9-11 (Oct. 1975 – Jan. 1976), Marvel Team Up #55 (March 1977), and the 1977 Annuals for Avengers and Marvel Two-in-One (Thanos does not actually appear until the end of Warlock #9). He was also featured in a short backup story in Logan's Run #6 (June 1977) and had a small role in the Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel (April 1982).
The character was revived in Silver Surfer vol. 3 #34 (Feb. 1990) and guest-starred until issue #50 (June 1991), while simultaneously appearing in Thanos Quest #1-2 (Sept.–Oct. 1990) and Infinity Gauntlet #1-6 (July–Dec. 1991). Thanos had a recurring role in Warlock and the Infinity Watch #1-42 (Feb. 1992 – Aug. 1995). This was followed by crossover appearances in Infinity War #1-6 (June - Nov. 1992), Infinity Crusade #1-6 (June - Nov. 1993), Silver Surfer vol. 3 #86-88 (Nov. 1993 - Jan. 1994), Warlock Chronicles #6-8, Thor #468-471 (Nov. 1993 - Feb. 1994), Secret Defenders #11-14 (Jan.–April 1994), Cosmic Powers #1-6 (March–July 1994), and Cosmic Powers Unlimited #1 (May 1995).
Thanos appeared in a connected storyline in Ka-Zar vol. 2 #4–11 (Aug. 1997 - March 1998), Ka-Zar Annual (1997), and the X-Man and Hulk Annual (1998), before featuring in Thor vol. 2 #21–25 (March – July 2000) and the 2000 Annual. The character was next used in Captain Marvel vol. 4 #17–19 (June–Aug. 2001), Avengers: Celestial Quest #1-8 (Nov. 2001– June 2002), and the Infinity Abyss #1-6 (Aug. - Oct. 2002).
In 2004 Thanos received an eponymous title that ran for 12 issues. In 2006, the character played an important role in Annihilation: Silver Surfer #1-4 (June - Sept. 2006) and Annihilation #1-6 (Oct. 2006 - March 2007). The character was re-introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 #24-25 (April–May 2010) and played a major role in The Thanos Imperative: Ignition (June 2010) and The Thanos Imperative #1-6 (July–Dec. 2010).
The character returned in Avengers Assemble #1 (March 2012).[4] A mini-series titled Thanos: Son of Titan by Joe Keatinge was planned for publication in August 2012, but was cancelled.[5]
The character's origin was expanded in the five-issue Thanos Rising miniseries by Jason Aaron and Simone Bianchi which was published monthly beginning in April 2013.[6] Later that same year, Thanos played a central role in the Infinity miniseries written by Jonathan Hickman and drawn by Jim Cheung, Jerome Opeña, and Dustin Weaver.
In May 2014, Jim Starlin and Ron Lim worked together on the one-shot Thanos Annual, which is a prelude to Thanos: Infinity Revelation, an original graphic novel set to be released in August.[7][8] The character is also set to reappear in New Avengers beginning with issue 24 in September 2014.[9]
Thanos was born on Saturn's moon Titan, and is the child of Eternals Mentor and Sui-San. Thanos was carrying the Deviants gene, and as such shared the physical appearance of the Eternals' cousin race. At birth, his mother attempted to kill him. During his school years, Thanos was a pacifist[10] and would only play with his brother Eros (Starfox) and pets. By adolescence, Thanos had become fascinated with nihilism and death, worshiping and eventually falling in love with the physical embodiment of death, Mistress Death.[11] As an adult, Thanos attempts to create a new life for himself by starting a family. He is visited again by Mistress Death, for whom he murders his family.[12]
Wishing to impress Mistress Death, Thanos gathers an army of villainous aliens and begins a nuclear bombardment of Titan that kills millions of his race.[13] Seeking universal power in the form of the Cosmic Cube, Thanos travels to Earth. Prior to landing, his vessel destroys a nearby car as a family witnesses his arrival.[14] Unbeknownst to Thanos, two of the family members in the vehicle survive: the father's spirit is preserved by the Titanian cosmic entity Kronos and is given a new form as Drax the Destroyer while the daughter is found by Thanos' father Mentor and is raised to become the heroine Moondragon. Thanos eventually locates the Cube, and also attracts the attention of Mistress Death. Willing the Cube to make him omnipotent, Thanos then discards the Cube. He imprisons Kronos and taunts Kree hero Captain Marvel, who with the aid of superhero team the Avengers and ISAAC (a super-computer based on Titan), is eventually able to defeat Thanos by destroying the Cube.[15]
Thanos later comes to the aid of Adam Warlock in a war against the Magus and his religious empire.[16][17] During this alliance Thanos cultivates a plan to reunite with Mistress Death, and secretly siphons off the energies of Warlock's Soul Gem, and combines these with the power of the other Infinity Gems to create a weapon capable of destroying a star. Warlock summons the Avengers and Captain Marvel to stop Thanos, although the plan is foiled when Thanos kills Warlock. The Titan regroups and captures the heroes, who are freed by Spider-Man and the Thing. Thanos is finally stopped by Warlock, whose spirit emerges from the Soul Gem and turns the Titan to stone.[13][18] Thanos's spirit eventually reappears to accompany a dying Captain Marvel's soul into the realm of Death.[19]
Thanos is eventually resurrected,[20] and collects the Infinity Gems once again.[21] He uses the gems to create the Infinity Gauntlet, making him nigh-omnipotent, and erases half the living things in the universe to prove his love to Death.[22] This act and several other acts are soon undone by Adam Warlock.[23] Warlock reveals that Thanos has always allowed himself to be defeated because the Titan secretly knows he is not worthy of ultimate power. Thanos joins Warlock as part of the Infinity Watch and helps him to defeat first his evil[24] and then good[25] personas, and cure Thor of "warrior Madness."[26]
Thanos later recruits a team of Earth-bound super-villains and puts them under the field leadership of Geatar in a mission to extract a robot containing the knowledge of a universal library.[27] Thanos uses information from the robot to battle Tyrant, a failed creation of Galactus.[28] When trapped in an alternate dimension, Thanos employs the aid of the brother of Ka-Zar, Parnival Plunder[29] and later the Hulk[30] to escape, although both attempts are unsuccessful. Thanos is eventually freed and comes into conflict with Thor, aligning himself with Mangog in a scheme to obtain powerful talismans which will allow him to destroy all life in the universe,[31] and during their battles Thanos decimates the planet Rigel-3.[32]
Thanos then uses the heroes Thor and Genis-Vell (Captain Marvel's son) against the death god Walker, who attempts to woo Mistress Death and then destroy the entity after being rejected.[33] Thanos then devises a plan to become the All-Father of a new race of Gods created by himself. Thanos, however, finds himself opposed by the Avengers' former member Mantis and her son Quoi, apparently destined to be the Celestial Messiah. Thanos abandons this plan after having to unite with Mistress Death to destroy the "Rot", an aberration in deep space caused by Thanos' love for Death.[34] Thanos also once conducted extensive research on genetics, and after studying many of the universe's heroes and villains cloned them and gene-spliced his own DNA into the subjects. Although he later abandons the project, five clones survive, being versions of Professor X, Iron Man, Gladiator, Doctor Strange, and Galactus respectively. A sixth and unnamed version of Thanos also appears, and it is revealed the incarnations of Thanos encountered by Thor and Ka-Zar were his clones. The true Thanos — with the aid of Adam Warlock, Gamora, Pip the Troll, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, and Dr. Strange — destroys the remaining clones.[35]
When an ancient Egyptian pharaoh called Akhenaten uses a source of cosmic power to seize power in present-day Earth (killing most of Earth's heroes in the process), Thanos uses a time-travel stratagem to defeat him. Thanos then uses the artifact to reverse Akhenaten's actions and also correct a flaw in the universe. Changed by the experience, Thanos advises confidant Adam Warlock he will no longer seek universal conquest.[36]
Thanos decides to atone for the destruction of Rigel-3, and agrees to aid a colony of Rigellians in evacuating their planet before Galactus can consume it. During the course of this mission Thanos learns Galactus is collecting the Infinity Gems in an effort to end his universal hunger. Thanos later learns Galactus is being manipulated into releasing a cosmic threat known as Hunger, which feeds on entire universes. Despite opposition from Thanos, Galactus frees the entity, although when the entity's intentions are revealed the pair team to destroy it.[37]
En route to the Kyln, an intergalactic prison, Thanos meets Death, who for the first time speaks to the Titan. Death claims it is worth wooing, but that he must offer something other than death. At the Kyln Thanos encounters Star-Lord and the Shi'ar warrior Gladiator, who are both prisoners, and the Beyonder, who has been rendered amnesiac by its choice to assume a mortal female form. Thanos battles the Beyonder and causes its mind to shut down, leaving its power trapped within a comatose mortal body. Thanos then instructs the Kyln officers to keep the Beyonder on life support indefinitely in order to prevent the entity from being reborn.[38] Thanos departs the Kyln in the company of Skreet, a chaos-mite freed from the prison. Thanos then meets the Fallen, a former Herald of Galactus. Thanos defeats the former Herald and places him under complete mental control.[39]
During the Annihilation War Thanos allies himself with the genocidal villain Annihilus. When the Annihilation Wave destroys the Kyln, Thanos sends the Fallen to check on the status of the Beyonder, whose mortal form he finds has perished. Before the Fallen can report back to Thanos it encounters Tenebrous and Aegis: two of Galactus' ancient foes. Thanos convinces Tenebrous and Aegis to join the Annihilation Wave in order to get revenge on Galactus, and they subsequently defeat the World Devourer and the Silver Surfer. Annihilus desires the secret of the Power Cosmic and asks Thanos to study Galactus. Once Thanos learns Annihilus' true goal is to use the Power Cosmic to destroy all life and remain the sole survivor, he decides to free Galactus. Drax the Destroyer kills Thanos before he can do so but discovers that Thanos had placed a failsafe device to allow Silver Surfer to free Galactus in the event that Annihilus betrayed him.[40] During a climactic battle with Annihilus, Nova is near death and sees Thanos standing with Mistress Death.[41]
A cocoon protected by the Universal Church of Truth is revealed to be hiding Thanos, who has been chosen by Oblivion to be the new Avatar of Death.[42] Resurrected before his mind could be fully formed, Thanos goes on a mindless rampage before being captured by the Guardians of the Galaxy.[43] Thanos pretends to aid the Guardians against the invading Cancerverse, and after discovering its origin kills an alternate version of Mar-Vell, the self-proclaimed Avatar of Life. This causes the collapse of the Cancerverse, with Guardians Nova and Star-Lord sacrificing themselves to contain Thanos inside the imploding reality.[44]
Thanos returns to Earth seeking an artificial cosmic cube and forms an incarnation of the criminal group Zodiac. He is defeated by the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, and remanded to custody by the Elders of the Universe.[45]
Thanos soon invades Earth again after being informed that most of the Avengers have temporarily left the planet.[46] He launches an assault on Attilan, which he offers to spare in exchange for the deaths of all Inhumans between the ages of 16 and 22. Black Bolt later informs the Illuminati that the true purpose of the invasion is to find and kill Thane, an Eternal/Inhuman hybrid that Thanos had secretly fathered years earlier.[47] Thanos is trapped in a pocket limbo of stasis by his son.[48]
Thanos is a mutant member of the race of superhumans known as the Titanian Eternals. The character possesses abilities common to the Eternals, but amplified to a higher degree through a combination of his mutant Eternal heritage, bionic amplification, mysticism, and power bestowed by the abstract entity, Death. Demonstrating enormous superhuman strength, stamina, and durability, Thanos can absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy and is capable of telekinesis, telepathy and matter manipulation. Thanos is an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained in the art of war on Titan.
Thanos is a genius in virtually all known fields of advanced science and has created technology far exceeding contemporary Earth science. He often employs a transportation chair capable of space flight, force field projection, teleportation, time travel and movement through alternate universes. Thanos is also a master strategist and uses a space vessel called Sanctuary II as a base of operations.
The Ultimate Marvel imprint title Ultimate Fantastic Four features an alternate universe version of Thanos who is the ruler of Acheron (and has a son called Ronan the Accuser, who is in possession of a Cosmic Cube[49]), a vast empire consisting of thousands of worlds that exist in another plane of existence.[50]
In the alternate universe limited series Earth X, Thanos dwelled in the Realm of the Dead with the entity Death.[51] It is revealed his mother was a Skrull and Death used her secret to make him believe that Death was his mother. When the deception is revealed he uses the ultimate nullifier on Death.[52]
Thanos features in the limited series Marvel Zombies 2, set in the alternate universe of Earth-2149. Having been "zombified", the character is killed by the cosmic-powered Hulk after an altercation over food.[53]
During the 1996 Amalgam Comics crossover between DC Comics and Marvel, Thanos merged with Darkseid to become "Thanoseid".[54]

La Mar Cebicheria Peruana -- Reviews?
- ellenost Oct 5, 2011 06:47 AM
I'm having dinner next week at La Mar (the new Peruvian restaurant in the former Tabla space). Has anyone been there yet? Any dishes I should try or avoid. I'm a "newbie" when it comes to Peruvian food. Thanks for your help.
La Mar
11 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10010
We haven't been to La Mar yet because I usually like to give new restaurants a chance to get the kinks out and to read what others have to say about it.
I see that arroz con pato is on the menu. Aldea and Nuela both have delicious versions of it, albeit rather different ones. So, that's a dish I'd definitely consider trying.
Aldea's Arroz con Pato: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11863391...
Nuela's Arroz de Pato: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11863391...
Looking forward to reading your report.
I'm heading there next Friday. I'll be sure to report back. I'm excited for the visit. The menu looks great and I've heard nothing but raves from NYers who have been to the San Francisco post of the restaurant.
Here's the first review I've seen.
I had an impromptu business lunch here last week. Pretty looking space after the redo, but you could see the insulation through what used to be an open area from the balcony down to the dining room.
Tried an interesting blue corn soda that they make in house -- tasty and unusual, and not too sweet.
One thing to note: daily specials on the boards appear to be ONLY for dinner, annoying.
All the ceviches were good to very good, though hard to share as they were a bit drippy (we were recommended to use spoons by the server). Hopefully they'll iron these kinks out.
Elegance ceviche (warm water fluke, red onions, peruvian corn and yam in a leche de tigre of five elements) was good but kind of "standard" as far as ceviche goes. I did like the Peruvian corn (huge kernals, thought it was a tiny tuber at first, my coworker guessed they were hominy).
Limeño ceviche was definitely a notch better. American red snapper, spanish day-boat octopus, calamari, scallops and blue shrimp in an ají limo leche de tigre. Great sauces. High quality and very fresh seafood. Amazing "juice" at the bottom -- I could have eaten this all day.
Nikei ceviche was probably my favorite -- yum! Very Japanese tasting in flavor. Yellowfin tuna, red onion, japanese cucumber, daikon, ripe avocado and nori in a tamarind leche de tigre juice. Really really good. Avocado and tuna always goes well together. My coworkers and I disagreed which was better, the Limeno or the Nikei, but we both thought they were excellent.
We also got one non-ceviche appetizer. Ají De Gallina, which was two empanadas, two tequeños (looked like egg rolls) and two croquetas. with mashed avocado, rocoto cream and ocopa sauce. Excellent sauces. I might skip this in the future.
For my main, I was pretty full at this point, so opted for the beef skewers. Listed as "Antichucho" served with with anticucho sauce, smashed fried potatoes, choclo, and huacatay sauce. Perfectly cooked to a nice medium. High quality meat, well trimmed, nicely chewy, good flavor. Simple dish executed very, very well.
My coworker got the arroz con pato, and it was really more like a roasted duck leg with crispy skin, and some rice. Meant more as a 1 person entree, focused on the meat than the rice. He loved it, said it was the best thing he'd eaten in weeks. I didn't get a chance to try it, he ate it so quickly!

re: kathryn
Thanks RGR and Kathryn! I think I'll definitely try the Limeno and Nikei ceviches.
We dined there last night.
The food was excellent from the lomo salteado, their chaufa version of fried rice, the sudado to their meats.
The service was uneven, however, a party of 5, 3 got their meal and had to start eating as 2 others had to wait for their meal. A glitch most likely due to having recently opened.
If you go have Peru's best loved cocktail ask for this one: Pisco Sour Seco with Pisco 100
La Mar
11 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10010
While I am a "newbie" to Peruvian food, I loved my dinner last night at La Mar! Food and service were excellent, and I look forward to many return visits.
We started with a round of cocktails. My friends all had the pisco sour (which I tasted and liked), but I loved my pisco cocktail with passion fruit.
There were four of us, and we wanted to try as many dishes on the menu since they all sounded delicious (we shared everything). We had 5 appetizers (and our charming and attentive waiter "gifted" us with a sixth):
1) Nikei cebiche with yellowfin tuna, red onion, Japanese cucumber, daikon, avocado and nori in a tamarind leche de tigre--loved this especially the leche de tigre;
2) chifa tiraditos (Peruvian sashimi with wild salmon belly, cilantro and passion fruit leche de tigre)--another winner;
3) tasting of the three causas (whipped potatoes each a different color (orange, yellow and green) topped with different fish--beautiful presentation and delicious;
4) Popular cebiche (the "gift" from our waiter) which had salmon, shrimp and Spanish day-boat octopus in green leche de tigre topped with crispy calamari--delcious too;
5) pastel de coclo (Peruvian corncake with hon shimeji mushrooms and choclo saltado)--very tasty but didin't want to eat too much of this since one of my friends doesn't eat raw fish so I wanted her to have more of this; and
6) chupe (Peruvian soup with warm water shrimp, choclo, fava beans, quail egg, yellow poatoes and squash)--fantastic, and I ate a generous portion even though I should have left more for my friend who didn't eat the raw fish appetizers--sorry.
We shared 3 main dishes:
1) lomo saltado (wok sauteed hanger steak with onions, tomatoes, scallions, fried quail egg and french fries with a side of arroz con choclo--this was my favorite. The steak was a beautiful med/rare and full of flavor;
2) arroz con mariscos (pan-fried rice with calamari, Spanish day-boat octopus, shrimp, jumbo scallops, vegetables, ajes and salsa criolla) ---very tasty; and
3) aji de gallina (creamy Peruvian stew of chicken, organic market potatoes, quail egg and micro greens that also had a side of arroz con choclo--probably the mildest of all of the dishes.
My friends were too full to order dessert (not me), so I'll need to return soon to La Mar to try them.
Service was great the entire evening. We arrived early, and were seated immediately upstairs at a lovely table by the window. Our servier (wish I knew his name since he was so friendly and attentive) was wonderful. I have no idea why others have complained about service, but last night service was impeccable.
Even though I'll miss Tabla, I am thrilled to finally have tried Peruvian food, and am delighted that La Mar has opened in the former Tabla space!

re: ellenost
Thanks for the review, ellenost. Great to hear that you enjoyed your maiden voyage into Peruvian cuisine, that everything was delicious, and that service was excellent.
Two questions: What did you think of the decor? And how was the noise level?
La Mar is, of course, near the top of my "go to" list, and based on your report, it looks as though we have another wonderful restaurant practically on our doorstep.
re: RGR
The upstairs is very similar to Tabla except the floor is much darker which makes those stairs a bit more scary--they need better lighting. The chairs are more casual in decoration, and while they had no cushions, they were comfortable. No tablecloths, but nice placemats--similar to Riverpark. Noise level upstairs was fine. We had no trouble chatting and hearing one another. When we left at about 8:30, all of the tables upstairs were full. I'll look forward to your report and photos.
re: ellenost
Thanks for the details, ellenost. Too bad about the "no tablecloths," though I guess it's in keeping with the current trend toward less formality. The emphasis on hard surfaces often has a very negative effect on noise levels, so it's good to hear that's not the case at La Mar.
La Mar
11 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10010
It's one of my go-to spots when I'm in San Francisco, Glad that there's another one in NY (still none in Chicago). The ceviches are great and I'm a big fan of the corn empanadas. The last few times I've gone with a group (4-6) so we pretty much ordered every appetizer (ceviches, causas, empanadas and skewers) and drinks. Everyone was happy.
Six of us went to La Mar the other evening. We had a great meal, all were very impressed.
They spend a small fortune renovating TABLA. We like the design and the look of the place. It feels very much like an upscale restaurant in Polanco, or similar. Service was good, very friendly and knowledgeable waitress, most staff speak Spanish, a good thing here. Also, an obvious number of Latin diners.
All our dishes were winners, not a clunker in the group. We do wish they actually had a few options as sides. Likewise, a few dishes could probably be spiced up a bit, though they will bring you an incendiary hot sauce on the side if you ask. Good wine list with a good (though not very wide) selection of South American wines. Good short list of speciality cocktails too. The only items we were not thrilled about were the desserts, we found those just Ok. Pricing wise it is not cheap but it is, we thought, less expensive than some similar venues. We will return.

re: comiendosiempre
Could you tell us the dishes you had that were winners, which you felt were spiced correctly, and which you felt could be "spiced up a bit"? Also, what were the desserts that fell short?
I went on Friday night with a group of 4. All in all, we declared La Mar a winner, and one to which we'd all return.
We promptly arrived for our reservation at 8pm. Althought he hostess was a bit awkward in leading us on a slow walk up the stairs to our table, she was pleasant enough and we were ready to get started. The scene was lively. There were lots of groups, couples and definitely a buzz in the air. There also seemed to be a significant amount of guests from South America or Latin America. Spanish was prevalent. One complaint, although it was unseasonably warm last Friday and maybe the heat rose to the upper level of the space, initially we were all uncomfortably hot. Nevertheless, the heat was nothing that cool drinks wouldn't cure.
The cocktails were all a hit. The pisco sour is likely the best I've ever had. The ladies had the cucumber basel cocktail and the passion fruit based pisco cocktail. They loved them as well.
On to the food. We ordered a LOT of food. We tried three ceviches: The limeno (snapper, scallops, octopus, calamari and blue shrimp), the Nikei (yellowfin tuna, daikon and avocado) and one that is not listed on the online menu, which had sea urchin and scallops. All were excellent, but I am partial to sea urchin in any way, shape or form. There were 4 plump pieces of sea urchin resting on a bed of 8 or so thinkly-sliced day boat scallops. Absolutely delicious.
Next we tried the tiradito of salmon belly, the charred octopus appetizer and we were given, compliments of the chef, the tuna tiradito. The tiraditos each consisted of 8 or so thinly sliced pieces of top-grade fish swimming in a fragrant and poignant dressing. They were excellent. The best bite of the meal however may have been the smoked octopus. The portion was a LITTLE bit on the small-size, but the dish was cooked and seasoned to perfection.
We also tried the empanadas appetizer (tasty, but I agree with Kathryn that they are worth skipping), the the Causas Tasting (fantastic! though a bit on the small side for the price), and the arroz con mariscos (delicious as well). As if that weren;t enough food, our server gifted us a plate of the beef skewers. We were all stuffed by that point, but they were cooked properly and were juicy as can be. A welcome addition to the table!
For dessert we had one order, split 4 ways, of the green tea cheese cake (which is not called a cheese cake on the menu for some reason). It was very good, but nothing to go crazy over in my opinion.
In total, with 3 drinks each, we spent $100/person including tip and tax. I will definitely return.
La Mar
11 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10010
I can't say that I share the complimentary sentiment about La Mar.
First, I wasn't a fan of the room. Downstairs was okay, but upstairs, two tops were way too close together (a pet peeve of mine when dining somewhere of this caliber) and for such an airy room, I felt cramped. I also thought the vibe was rather cold, particularly in comparison to it's predecessor's. I don't mind modern and sleek, but this was just pretty blah and soulless.
Second, the service. Bussers were quick to pull plates away, and the waiter couldn't take our order fast enough. When I wanted a second glass of sake, however, no one was to be found. Pretty erratic.
Third, the food....Nothing was terrible but nothing wowed me. My friend and I each got a ceviche. i chose the tuna (nikei). It was lovely but it the tamarind didn't add quite the zing I expected. Certainly the best part of my meal, though. As for mains, my friend -- who is peruvian -- got the lomo salato. He had been so excited to try it but was really disappointed. Not being a lomo salato expert myself, I can't compare to other versions but can say that the dish did nothing to make we want to try it again. Would much prefer a nice seared flank steak not drenched in rather tepid gravy. My entree was arroz con mariscos. It was the disappointment of the night. Basically a salty fried rice with lots of peas and a really paltry array of seafood. The menu describes the dish as containing "fresh calamari, Spanish day-boat octopus, shrimp, scallops, mussels, market vegetables, ajies and salsa criolla." I found NO octopus, about 5 tiny leathery rings of calamari, an equal number of dried out mussels (out of shell), 3 small/,medium shrimp and a topping of one large scallop. This might have been an adequate side as served, but it certainly wasn't a main given the meager and completely unimpressive seafood in contained.
We didn't bother with dessert. Besides, the waiter had shown back up and seemed pretty anxious to turn our table.
La Mar
11 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10010
I ate at La Mar this past weekend and had a great dinner. We decided to come here because of strong recs from friends who had eaten at the San Francisco and Mexico locations. We didn't have any reservations but were here on the early side and had no trouble getting a table.
So here are my thoughts. Note that I haven't really had much experience with Peruvian food (unless chicken at Pio Pio and Flor de Mayo count). Actually, to me, La Mar seems most comparable to Nuela in terms of the atmosphere and menu which I realize is not Peruvian and more pan-Asian (and I only liked Nuela for their ceviches and disliked everything else including the decor, the cocktails, and the other food like the disappointing arroz con pato).
So onto my meal at La Mar...
Cocktails were fantastic. The pisco sour was my favorite but the other ones were really good too. For food, we wanted to sample as much as possible so we got the cebiche tasting (elegance, popular, nikei) and the causa tasting (limena, nikei, oliva) as our appetizers. The ceviches were excellent with the nikei as my favorite. I also really liked the causas...while I didn't care for the whipped potato part (they didn't seem to have much flavor), the fish combinations on top were really good. Of the three causas, I enjoyed the nikei the most. We then shared the sudado nikei entree...this was excellent as well. For dessert, we weren't really in the mood for anything and just got tea and coffee. They actually had quite a number of teas to choose from and they all sounded interesting.
My one quibble with the meal is the lighting...we sat downstairs and it was little brighter than I would have liked. Also, I would say the meal was kind of pricey. Bill for 2 came out to about $180 total (including 4 drinks, tax, and tip). We weren't that hungry which is why we shared an entree and didn't get dessert but if we came with normal appetites, we definitely would have needed more food. Certainly worth it for the quality of the food and probably not out of line with other restaurants of this caliber but nonetheless food here is on the expensive side.
So all in all, this was a very enjoyable meal. I would definitely get the ceviches again and then probably explore the rest of the menu as so many other things sounded good. La Mar also seems like a good spot to grab drinks/apps at the bar before moving onto another place for dinner.

Interview with USTA National Collegiate Coach Stephen Amritraj
Stephen Amritraj joined the USTA as a National Coach in January of
this year and was recently named its National Collegiate coach.
Amritraj played at Duke from 2002-2006, and after a brief stint on the
tour, began coaching ATP professionals in Southern California, where
he grew up. Colette Lewis of ZooTennis.com talked with Amritraj about
the USTA Collegiate Team program which assists American college
players as they transition to professional careers.
The Value of Front Court Skills in College Tennis
I've had several recruits ask for training suggestions as they make
the transition to college. A common theme between the three programs
I've been part of the past few years has been the amount of work put
into developing doubles skills, especially with freshmen. Recruiting
players who can make immediate contributions to the doubles lineup has
become harder to do, so my suggestion to young players in general is
to develop the ability to play the net.
ITA Summer Circuit Schedule
The ITA Summer Circuit provides college, junior, and alumni tennis

We agree with your point that Linux documentation could be better. From where we stand, however, it doesn't seem that Linux experts intentionally withhold basic configuration information to maintain control. On the contrary, many of our authors are experts who are excited to provide information on Linux, and they actually regard it as good business to share their solutions with the world.
As to whether Windows "always works," I can honestly say that many of our readers would disagree, and in fact, many users come to Linux because they can't get Windows to work.
As for the difference in the availability of introductory documentation, maybe the best place to start is to consider that software documentation is extremely expensive to generate. Microsoft makes a huge investment in Help text, online documentation, and white papers, not to mention certification and training, technical marketing, and various forms of marketing to disseminate information about their products.
This information is very useful for the beginner, but it comes with a price that is reflected in the cost of the software and the persistent inconvenience of the proprietary licensing model. This trade-off might work well for certain newcommers, but more advanced Windows users (and some beginners, for that matter) might actually prefer to keep some of that money in their pockets rather than subsidizing the education of entry-level users whenever they buy a Windows license.
Having said that, I should add that the Internet has plenty of Linux mail servers that are working very well, and in fact, the Kerio mail server you mention in your letter comes with a Linux version. Have you tried it?

Fans' attention is constantly drawn to our giant HD video board as they check for stats and watch in game features. Put your brand right in their line of sight with one of the surrounding static signs.
Currently ranging in size from 17'x32' to 32'x34', these signs often find themselves as the backdrop to countless photos and TV footage as pitches are catapulted towards them by hard-hitting players.
More Video Board Signage
Fixed outfield wall signage is not only highly visible to many seating sections within Minute Maid Park, it, like main scoreboard signage, receives the added benefits of being in the background of multiple plays per inning increasing exposure on both the video board and TV through replays and local, regional and national broadcasts.
Left field offers the most variety of outfield wall sign shapes and sizes. Aside from housing our out-of-town scoreboard and visitor's bullpen, this area is a focal point for fans. Horizontal signs range in size from 4'x22' to 3'x54' and vertical signs from 7'x10' to 11'x18'.
Home to the Astros' bullpen and Tal's Hill, centerfield signage allows partners the opportunity to gain brand exposure in the unique landscape of our outfield. These signs ranging from 4'x8' to 6'x28' in size can garner a lot of attention.
A short fence in right field results in countless exciting plays in this part of the park. Right field signs are 6'x28'.
More Outfield Wall Signage[ close ]
In-field signage options range from camera well and pitch information locations to rotational and/or static home plate signage. In-stadium and TV exposure in these locations is excellent.
In-field signage options range from camera well and pitch information locations to rotational and/or static home plate signage. In-stadium and TV exposure in these locations is excellent.
Located next to the pitch count and speed sign directly down the third base line, fans look here for information during the game.
The signage behind home plate comes in both static and rotational forms. The two (2) rotational signs, 2'4"x9'10", receive premium TV and in-stadium exposure one 1/2inning at a time in-stadium and average about 3 minutes of television time per telecast. Static options are ideal for game-long and season-long exposure and include a 2'x2' space between the rotationals and a 2' x 5' space to the left of them.
More Field Level Signage[ close ]
Brand new after the 2010 season, our LED ribbon boards stretch from foul pole to foul pole for stadium-wide advertising coverage. With their dynamic capabilities to introduce your message and static messaging during play, these signs combine the best of both worlds. Sold in half-inning units and used as an additional aspect of an in-game feature between innings, these boards grab fans' attention in a modern way.
The mezzanine section under the video board and above the bullpen also now has LED ribbon board displays that are sold separately from the wrap around boards. These boards receive significant TV coverage as plays occur in centerfield.
With over 20 signs in the most high-traffic areas of the ballpark, the main and upper concourses provide tremendous amounts of exposure to fans. Strategically placed to gain maximum exposure along the concourses, these fixed signs come in two sizes, 4'x6' and 6'x10'.
High above left field fans can find a fully restored, circa 1860 Locomotive - a fun and unique reminder of the train station that used to be where the ballpark is now. The train can be seen traveling along the track for 3 reasons: The beginning of the game, after an Astros home run, and at the end of every Astros victory. These signs are 4'x6' and are affixed to the side of the freight car.
All sizes listed are approximate.

After landing at No. 1 in the UK with his fifth consecutive album, Eminem is on track to top all U.S. sales charts as Relapse will reportedly become the highest-selling debut of the year with estimated 630,000 sold copies in its first week.
In addition to Shady, other hip-hop debuts will also hit the charts.
The big story, obviously, is Eminem, whose appeal remains strong enough to get him the year's biggest debut at somewhere between 600k and 630k, leapfrogging Interscope labelmates U2, whose 484k is now the second biggest bow of '09. Both Method Man & Redman's Blackout 2! and Busta Rhymes' Back On My Bullsh*t is set to sell between 60k and 65k. (Rumor Mill Chart Preview)
Based on reports from iTunes, Relapse has landed within the top 5 digital downloads around the globe.
In the US, Relapse is # 1; In the UK Relapse stands at #2; Australia Relapse is #3; In France and Germany Eminem's album hits iTunes charts at #5.(iTunes)
Along with British rapper Dizzee Rascal, Em is again making a splash with Relapse in the UK.
Rap artists celebrated a stellar sales week on Sunday's new U.K. sales charts, with Dizzee Rascal and Armand Van Helden's "Bonkers" (Dirtee Stank) new at the top of the singles survey, and Eminem's "Relapse" (Interscope/Universal) powering straight to No. 1 on the album bestsellers…The Eminem album is his fifth in a row to top the U.K. chart, a run dating back to "The Marshall Mathers LP" in 2000.(Billboard)
With 36 percent reporting, Hits Daily Double reports Eminem's Relapse sales at about 195K. Last week, one-day estimates predicted Slim Shady will lead all sales by leaps and bounds.
He may be a homophobic, pill-popping, celeb-dissing misogynist, but there are at least 600-650k others who can relate to Eminem. That's the number of people we estimate will pick up the Detroit hip-hop bad boy's Relapse, his first album for Shady/Aftermath/Interscope in almost five years, based on reports from retailers across this great nation of ours who haven't yet hung up a "For Lease" sign. U2 bowed at #1 with 480k back in March. Def Jam/IDJ's Method Man & Redman follows with 65-70k and Universal Motown's iconic Busta Rhymes, reunited with former Elektra topper Sylvia Rhone, both at between 60-65k. (Hits Daily Double)
To get an idea of how Shady is doing in the Big Apple, SOHH spoke with a Union Square Virgin Megastore to see how Tuesday's new releases are doing.
According to the rep, Busta Rhymes' Back On My Bullsh*t has sold 25 copies as of this afternoon, Redman and Method Man's Blackout 2 has sold 46 pieces and Eminem's Relapse is moving 216 copies since the store opened up this morning. (SOHH)
Busta Rhymes recently told SOHH that he looks forward to the first week sales for all hip-hop albums coming out, which includes albums from DJ Drama and Red Man and Method Man.
"I feel real good about it because its a great day in hip-hop," he told SOHH. "There aint been this much amazing releases on the same day in a minute. All of this dope shit in the marketplace, hip-hop needs it right now. We need it to show people how lucrative the business of hip-hop music still is on a corporate level. We need to also get these tours up and running. I just look forward to seeing what the outcome is going to be. I'm fans of every one of those artists I'ma be out there buying all three of them shits myself that day." (SOHH)

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - About 100 people spent most of the night in snowbound cars on the New York State Thruway southwest of Buffalo and are finally being freed.
Troopers used all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles to keep in touch with motorists who got stuck when blowing snow shut down a stretch of Interstate 90 from Dunkirk, N.Y., to Erie, Pa., at about
1:30 a.m.
Emergency crews topped off gas tanks and checked on people by cell phone during the night before starting to turn drivers around and guide them off the closed roadway Friday morning.
The Lake Erie-fed snow continues to fall in the border area and other regions south and east of Buffalo.

Owned and operated by the Christ Child Society of Detroit, Christ Child House has been providing care for abused and neglected children in the Detroit area since 1948. In that year the agency's first house opened as a temporary shelter for children whose families were experiencing a temporary crisis, such as unemployment or illness. With a capacity of 11 children, the permanent staff of three cared for the children with the help of volunteers. Since opening its doors, Christ Child House has evolved dramatically as the needs of children and families have changed. Today, Christ Child House is an intensive residential treatment center licensed by the State of Michigan to provide services to 30 boys, ages 5-15, who suffer from severe developmental, emotional, and behavioral impairments as a result of years of damaging abuse and neglect.
In 2008, Christ Child House was featured in the Detroit Free Press. The online freep.com special report can be viewed here: http://www.freep.com/christchild.
