A while back, we brought news that Jud Longell, of DuMont, was teaming up with the designers of Tailor and Smith and Mills to create a bistro that might have either a nautical design or an English-butcher-shop aesthetic. Now BlackBook brings us an early interior shot along with news that a well-known celebrity is a silent partner. Hmmm who could it be? Either way, it's good to know, with the Rusty Knot poised to open in Manhattan, that Brooklyn will have a celeb-studded faux boat of its own.
Who's the Silent Celeb Partner at 18 Bedford Ave.? [BlackBook]

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm,
"To all of my readers who have been following my blog since 2010 you know how important my family two and four-legged is to me and I just want to say thank you for reading my blog and following my journey in this thing called life. If you are new to my blog you can search all the way back to 2010 and see my journey in blogging and life, thank you for reading my blog and may GOD bless each and every one of you and your families two and four-legged in Jesus Christ Name." Melody, Donkey Whisperer Farm, LLC
My horse Miss Lily (Palomino quarter horse) I call her Mr. Ed's wife is so darn smart and special, we are very connected she is in her forever home. June 1st, 2014 I was able to bring Miss Trophy our new horse home to her forever home. Miss Trophy gets to live with Miss Lily first and most important as horses need to live with another horse, second for me to teach her to trust, think and use her brain. Why does she need to learn to think? She is not a wild horse she is a domesticated horse a horse who needs to accept the human world for the vet, trimmer/farrier, saddle, going in the trailer and much, much more. One day I will ride this mare with just her halter on and no bit, but not today as she needs time to adjust to her new life and learn to trust me to be a leader using resistance free training. Miss Trophy has not been started yet (carried a rider with a saddle) she is six years old. June of 2014 we brought home Oboe and Tuba (rescue donkeys no paperwork) to live with Rio our Mammoth donkey 16'2 hands tall and eight now. Rocket Man (our mini donkey age 20) now lives in a mini donkey world with Roy and Maximus (two new minis) all live in separate spaces and are balanced and calm. Roy and Maximus are afraid of the blanket and much, much more one step forward, one step back all the while helping them learn to trust me.
Minis Live together, Mares Live Together and Rio with Oboe and Tuba
After studying the behavioral traits of Miss Lily, Rio the Mammoth donkey and Rocket Man I learned that this is not a safe and natural way to live. Why? Miss Lily wants to run and chase Rocket Man and would get frustrated with Rio as he would not run with her and she would ride him like a stallion trying to get him to run. Can a horse live with another smaller animal or a donkey sure but the personality, sex and age are all factors. Miss Lily is an extreme athlete and an extrovert she likes to run and move fast. Rio is an extreme gentle giant an introvert he prefers to stand around and look at things. Rocket Man is a mini and he is not big enough to out-run a fast horse or a Mammoth donkey that is 16'2. When Rio and Rocket Man bonded Rio was nine months old and small, Rocket Man was thirteen. Now Rio is so big when he grabs his neck, normal behavior for donkeys he picks Rocket Man off the ground a few feet and then lays on him with his knee. Not safe and thus why they no longer live together. When Miss Lily would chase Rocket Man Rio would protect him. Rio can see Rocket Man on the other side of the fence and will always love him but he is too big to live with him. I am grateful to GOD nothing bad happened to Rocket Man while we were waiting to get moved to our new farm in Sequim, WA.
Miss Trophy our new mare is truly smart, athletic and contagious with beauty she is not easy as horses go as she is very defensive and reactive so we are working on helping her relax and feel calm in her new world while having a plan to set her up for success and stay safe. A thousand pound horse who is only using the reactive side of their brain can't think and make good choices they are into the flight or fight mode and this is a dangerous horse. As long as we humans have a plan this horse can learn to think again this entails a lot of patience and time and a plan to keep her and me safe. I am pleased to report Miss Trophy now trusts me and this is a huge accomplishment in a very short amount of time. After getting to run free on the ten acres for five hours (we will one day grow low sugar hay on) with Miss Lily this mare is the first to come to me when I call. She comes to me before my Miss Lily amazing ha? Not really when you understand the personality of this mare and her most important issue is to gravitate towards safety and a fair leader ME. I trump Miss Lily and for this I am extremely pleased with my training. Miss Trophy is truly a magnificent horse and we are starting to bond and build a super strong relationship as she finally trusts me after four months of being handled lightly every day. I have taught her how to back-up a few steps, whoaa and come to me, send into her stall or the pasture, turn around, lower her head and let me take the halter off, wait at least thirty seconds before leaving me. She can now stand for the farrier without urinating, pawing, defecating or squealing and she has lost 1″ in height as she is not in fear for her life on adrenalin. When she came to me she hated the halter and now she actually chooses to put her head into the rope halter as I wait for her to choose. She can stand calmly and not have stress, excited to see what is next to learn.
"Miss Lily has lived with me since she was twenty months old and she is now nine. Miss Lily did not come to me trained and she was difficult and not confident in the beginning. Today she is a confident and strong nine-year old Palomino mare, she is a huge part of the training and success I am having with this new un-confident mare as all animals and humans gravitate towards calm energy and a leader with a plan." Melody Johnson, Donkey Whisperer Farm, LLC
I am a world-wide virtual coach for you the owner of the horse, donkey or mule to learn how to care, setup your farm for mud free, correct diet, load in the trailer, pick up the hooves, stand for the trimmer/farrier ride, go for a hike carry your lunch, take fecal samples. The sky is the limit when you learn to understand the personality and behavior of your horse, donkey or mule and yourself. The most important part of being a great leader is controlling our energy and having a plan to stay safe and keep the equine depending on the personality engaged. Example; My introverted Mammoth donkey Rio does not enjoy big changes, loud noises or anything new thrown at him put on him fast. In fact my extroverted new mini donkeys do not enjoy this either.
What do the different personalities crave and desire to relax and learn?
The introvert is looking for a leader who is calm and has low energy to take the time it takes to help them feel comfortable with change. Sometimes this is like watching paint dry for us humans with the extrovert personality. Thus why I teach to train them in small time frames as drilling makes them crazy both the extroverts and the introverts.
The Extrovert is looking for a calm leader with low energy that can pick up the energy and make things fun this takes having a plan and setting them up for success without us humans getting hurt. The introvert learns extremely fast after they trust us and have learned to use their brain to think. Can't think when scared for your life. I have four new donkeys all geldings in training, Oboe and Tuba are both rescues no paperwork. Oboe is an extrovert and will fight to the end with any equine or human he does not trust. Tuba is an introvert. Maximus is our mini black gelding age two and an extreme extrovert along with Roy who is extroverted too but can go into introversion like Rocket Man our mini age twenty he is bi-polar at times when very stressed. This personality is one of the most interesting as I find studying the behavior traits of the herd and the personality on a daily basis.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is in animals just like us humans
When we bring home a new animal dog, horse, donkey, mule, cat and they did not get the beginning imprinting meaning touch safely, love and the time to learn humans are safe we are seriously bringing personality and behaviors that may or may not ever change. Example in 2008 after my most beloved kitty Shimmer died I waited a year and let PAWS know I was looking for another Manx mix rescue. A man I worked with in information technology had the mother of a manx mix and she had kittens he told me I could have one of his kittens for free. My husband and I brought Shimmer home to live with us at seven weeks and he adored being held and loved on by both me and my hubby. Shimmer had a great start in life the love of his mom and siblings and was touched gently by humans as a kitten. I taught Shimmer to walk on a lead like a dog and he traveled all over the USA with us in our R.V. and car. He was very social and felt safe with us and our dogs. Christmas was great fun as he loved opening his presents yes a cat that could open his present (cat nipped tucked inside) I miss you Shimmer and know one day I will snuggle with you again in heaven.
When I got the call two kittens now three months old were ready to pick up I ran to the center to meet them. I made the decision to only bring one home but after hearing their story about being found in an abandoned car and how scared they were I thought I can help these girls I will take them both. I am happy to share moving into the 5th wheel is helping them as we are in a smaller space but they still want nothing to do with us other than food, water and their cat box cleaned. Our dogs are a different story they like to snuggle against them and they sleep with them to stay warm on the floor. They sleep on our bed when we are gone and never when we are in it.
After living with us for six years they are still distant with us. They do not trust us, their memories of PTSD with humans spaying them, giving them shots, living in a cage waiting for a home and worse are still in their minds and to fix a cat that is feral is most of the time impossible. These girls are indoor cats. To fix a human with extreme PTSD can take years and can work or can not work it all depends on the personality of the human and the person doing the rehabilitation. Studies have found horses and donkeys used with licensed mental health care workers to help PTSD humans live a great life again. PTSD never goes away as triggers can set the animal and the human off but they can learn to live a good life. Interesting ha?
Shimmer my prayer is you are in heaven chasing bugs, and climbing trees and when tired you lay in a dry warm place and enjoy heaven. I love you and miss you every day my kitty Shimmer.

Visual NHibernate
The guys at Slyce Software have released Visual NHibernate Beta. It is still far from final, but it looks promising. You can get it from here, there are also some screenshots.
So far, I have noticed some things missing. There is a discussion going on at the nhusers mailing list about it, but here are my 50 cents, in no particular order:
- Support for additional databases, starting with Oracle
- Optional support for generating partial classes
- Inclusion of the Serializable attribute
- Support for lazy loading of relational properties
- Allow specifying non-public setters
- Configuration of id generators
- Removal of mapping table from the model, in many-to-many relationships, when there are no additional attributes in the relation
- Generating composite keys in a new class, instead of having multiple properties
More news in the next days.

BT fattens up its sales thanks to hearty fibre+footy diet
BT's wholesale wing continued on its downward spiral during the one-time national telco's third quarter, with sales tumbling nine per cent to £589m from £645m a year earlier. The company's total revenue of £4.6bn for the three-month period ended 31 December 2013 saw modest growth of two per cent as some of BT's other business …
Lies, damned lies, and statistics
This applies to accounting as well as numbers are massaged and reporting groups structured so that the wholesale division bears the brunt of "costs".
No matter what happens, the wholesale division will be shown to be a poor performer, it would be bad for BT and weaken the case for government grants if it did well.
If they take the grant money, they share the outcome no matter what the performance of the wholesale division.
The question that remains though is how much of the grant go into "shared" "infrastructure" that the retail division needs for the footie and everything.
Re: Lies, damned lies, and statistics
It's Openreach that gets the government funding for broadband, Wholesale is a different thing entirely.
BT's "business case" for upgrades are flexible, My local exchange was deemed not worth ADSL2... until talktalk unbundled it, suddenly BT published an RFS date for the service previously stated to not have a business case here. I have a very cynical view about the BDUK fibre roll out.
Time for the outdated requirement for a voice line to be binned too, Like many others I have no need for a BT voice service, so why am I forced to take it? I have no need to support the maintenance of voice equipment that I never use on my line.
There is zero chance of my being blackmailed into taking BT broadband services in order to continue watching moto GP.
BT have managed to turn me from a solid customer to one who wants as little to do with them as possible
The sooner this shitty company dies off the better.
Luckily the people running the NHS IT project has seen sense and has cut BT out of their future plans.
I've decided...
...to stop giving BT around £25 pcm for crap , Zen £25 pcm for crap and Vodafone £15 pcm for crap and just go with a £28 pcm tethered contract with Three, which may also turn out to be crap, but at least it'll be cheaper crap and I won't have to ask my neighbours to switch off their Xmas lights or new DVD player to see if that sorts my problems, or waste my time playing BT call out poker every 6 months or so because their green cabinet is stuffed again. It's 2014 not 1994 and time for BT to die.

Assessing Vulnerabilities
At the federal level, the Strategic Partnership Program Agroterrorism (SPPA) has brought together the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the FDA, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), plus state and industry officials. They are jointly assessing high-risk points in the food chain and disseminating that information to industry and government officials.
SPPA uses the CARVER + Shock risk-assessment method, which views a target from the perspective of an attacker seeking to inflict maximum harm. Devised by the U.S. Department of Defense, the method breaks a target into segments and considers, per the acronym, its criticality, accessibility, recuperability, vulnerability, effect of loss, and recognizability, to assess the "shock" effect of an attack.
As of early this year, the group had conducted more than 20 product-specific assessments of items deemed vulnerable to terrorist or criminal attack, with a total of 50 assessments planned: 25 will be of products regulated by the USDA, which handles meat, poultry, and dairy products, and 25 will be of packaged food products regulated by the FDA. Results are being made available exclusively to industry and government officials in the field.
There are general attributes that make a product an attractive target and, therefore, a top candidate for an SPPA vulnerability assessment. The attributes are that the product comes in large production volumes, contains numerous ingredients, and can preserve pathogens or foster their growth, explains Kennedy. Another key attribute: the product is rapidly distributed and consumed, especially by a high-risk group such as children, the sick, or the elderly.
Kennedy says SPPA is "turning out to be very effective in identifying specific sections of the food supply chain we're vulnerable in, identifying those vulnerabilities, and determining what we do next."
The SPPA program stems from a presidential directive requiring improved public-private collaboration in all sectors of homeland defense. Through trade associations like The American Meat Institute (AMI), The National Pork Producers Council, and the United Egg Producers, as well as through food manufacturers like Kraft and ADM, investigators have identified manufacturing, processing, and shipping sites to evaluate.
Jeffrey Muller, chief of the WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) Countermeasures Unit in the FBI's WMD Directorate, says his agency would reap many benefits from the SPPA process in the event of an investigation. That's true for all agencies in the partnership; they have developed new contacts both in industry and with government officials at the state level. Through those contacts, these agencies have become familiar with the food manufacturing processes. "To have an idea how the products are made and how the process works is incredibly valuable," Muller says.
Muller and Donald Kautter, a general research scientist at the FDA, say officials plan to develop a standard, off-the-shelf CARVER + Shock survey that manufacturers can use to assess their own products and processes in conjunction with the SPPA team. That will help the team reach much more of the sector, Kautter says.
Both Muller and Skip Steward, AMI's vice president for scientific and regulatory affairs, see value in SPPA educating companies about how to protect their own products through basic steps, such as running background checks on employees and restricting access to areas housing ingredients and mixing hoppers.
Separately, in October 2006, DHS launched its Food Agriculture Sector Joint Committee on Research to bring together industry leaders and regulators, both to consider policy and to study potential impacts of attacks. The panel is chaired by Richard Ryan, head of ADM's Asset Protection Division and a member of ASIS International's Agriculture and Food Security Council, and includes representatives from states, the USDA, and the FDA.
"Our task is to collate and coordinate food defense research, and we're seeking input from other food security interests to find out what they need," Ryan says.
The committee will work with DHS to avoid unintended adverse consequences of security policies, and report to the agency on issues like the impact of attacks that could halt traffic on critical shipping arteries.
In Search of Solutions
In academia, DHS's national centers of excellence in food security are conducting a broad benchmarking and assessment survey, with the goal of establishing industrywide best practices for food supply- chain security.
The survey-based research, conducted jointly by faculty at the University of Minnesota, Michigan State University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology, has identified key competencies in general supply chain security, including basic physical security and process management.
Researchers are interviewing industry executives and surveying firms throughout the supply chain, says David Closs of Michigan State, the team's lead researcher. They are focusing on five issues: process strategy, definition of metrics, relationship management with supply-chain partners, service-provider management, and public-interface management.
The research approaches supplychain management from the premise that food producers, shippers, and retailers must consider the security of all their business partners as much as their own. It's a daunting proposition when a typical food product's chain can resemble a family tree of 10 different supply steps from farm to processing to storage to shipping and through wholesale to retail.
Metrics. Companies should develop metrics to quantify the strength of security in each segment of a product's supply chain, and set minimum standards for vendors, says Irvin S. Varkonyi, head of instruction for the Association for Operations Management and an adjunct professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. The current research would provide a foundation for those metrics.
Possible supply-chain metrics, Varkonyi says, could include "touches," or the number of times a product is handled during a step in the supply chain, the number of times vehicles and their locks are inspected annually, and relevant employees' level of security training. It might also be advisable to set a threshold number for security incidents considered acceptable among supply-chain partners. A contract could stipulate that vendors falling below the benchmark would be terminated.
"What you can't measure, you can't control, and these are things you can control, as opposed to saying, 'I think they're trying hard.'" Varkonyi says. "It may not be simple, but it lets every stakeholder know where they stand."
"What we find is that the manufacturers are very concerned about this," Closs says. By contrast, retailers seem still to focus more on theft, not on securing the supply chain. They don't see their reputations to be as closely tied to the issue of a contaminated product as the manufacturers do, he says.
Other protocols. Other efforts are focused on how to prevent the distribution of contaminated products by beefing up safety protocols throughout the system, says Kathy Means, a spokeswoman for the Produce Marketing Association (PMA). This year the PMA plans to issue a set of production guidelines and metrics that firms throughout the supply chain can use to ensure safety in production and handling. Means says that some areas covered by producer guidelines would likely include soil standards, prior and adjacent land uses, and worker health and hygiene.
Detection. Experts say the greatest challenge in food security lies in the area of detection—detecting contamination in suspect products, and in the event of an outbreak, connecting the dots between disparate cases to determine as early as possible when there is a common factor that has caused a large number of people to become ill from eating a contaminated item.
Andrew I. Bern, M.D., a Florida practitioner and fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians, says that improved and expanded IT infrastructure—already a top priority of the healthcare industry—holds the greatest promise for accelerating outbreak detection or "syndromic surveillance."
It is also important that vigilance for food-borne disease outbreaks among primary and emergency care providers has increased, along with awareness of terrorist threats, Bern says. Toward that end, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains a list of 52 nationally reportable diagnoses—among them food-borne diseases like botulism and the potentially fatal 0157:H7 strain of E. coli—and provides educational programs for physicians on how rare diseases pre-sent in victims.
But diagnosis of individual cases—especially the first one in an outbreak—can come down to a single doctor's attentiveness, as was the case in the 2001 anthrax attacks.
Bern notes that the difficulty of making the right diagnosis early on is increased by the "protean" nature of diseases like SARS or Avian flu, which may pass for traditional strains. Another problem is that all 50 states follow different processes for investigating reports of public health problems.
A specialized information technology network that is programmed to spot symptom and exposure patterns across the population and to automatically alert public health officials is the answer, Bern says. He points to the types of networks provided by EMSystem, a company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as a potential model. The firm provides Web-based patient and resource tracking systems to the healthcare, first-response, and public-health sectors.
"That way you have systemwide hook-in, rather than doctors getting their information from CNN and MSNBC," Bern says.
A team of public-health researchers affiliated with the National Center for Food Production and Defense at the University of Minnesota, meanwhile, is conducting a three-year, quantitative analysis of the nation's public-health response system in an effort to determine where additional investment will cut the most time in detection of, and response to, an outbreak.
The results of the research—which is scheduled to continue for one more year—are expected to focus on mundane but significant logistical details, like how much time patient samples spend in transit from hospitals to diagnostic labs or the lag time between a diagnosis and the involvement of a state epidemiologist. The findings may also address the issue of states' disparate reporting and investigation procedures, says Don Schaffner of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, who is the team leader.
While academics and industry officials agree that full-scale preventive food testing within the supply chain is not feasible, emerging technologies hold the promise of faster screening of individual suspect samples. For example, testing for the presence of E. coli currently takes roughly 24 hours, requiring growth of cultures and introduction of antibodies to determine the presence of the bacteria. Researchers at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, have used an adaptation of traditional spectrometry, called desorption electrospray ionization (DESI), to detect E. coli's bacterial "fingerprint" in less than one minute.
As yet, however, the technology has only been proven on pure E. coli samples, as opposed to food product, says Purdue researcher R. Graham Cooks.
DESI simplifies mass spectrometry by eliminating the need for a vacuum chamber in which to test an ionized sample substance; that reduces test time. Researchers also hope to cut device size enough to allow use of the technology outside the lab. Full-size DESI devices commercialized by Prosolia, Inc. of Indianapolis, currently for research applications, cost roughly $34,000 each.
Leversense of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, is developing a hand-held detector incorporating technology developed by Raj Mutharasan at Drexel University in Philadelphia, holding the promise of instantaneous testing.
Mutharasan places E. coli antibodies on a sliver of glass one millimeter wide, which is then vibrated at a certain frequency. The sliver is then exposed to the test material. If E. coli bacteria interact with the antibodies, a sensor detects a minute variation in the vibration.
While the system is prone to false positives, Mutharasan addresses that with multiple tests. The system's cost is comparable to traditional culture tests, but it could save 24 hours in turnaround time, allowing authorities to rule out uncontaminated materials expeditiously.
Animal ID. Another important component in supply-chain safety is the ability to track back to the origins of a product when a problem surfaces. That's easy enough with packaged goods. It's a different story with meat products.
To address that weakness in the system, the USDA has been working on a voluntary animal ID program, dubbed the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), which it plans to launch this year. In doing so, the U.S. will join the ranks of countries that already have such programs, including Australia and Canada, although their programs are now mandatory (see sidebar, page 70).
Unlike the foreign programs, which employ a single, national database, NAIS must tie together a growing system of both private and state-based public animal tracking databases. NAIS's Animal Trace Processing System (ATPS) or "metadata" system will serve as both a hub and portal for data access and tracking.
Addressing security concerns, the USDA pledges a firewall-protected portal accessible only to properly credentialed agency employees, plus access audits. Animal health officials—state or federal—will not be able to access ATPS for animal data unless a "trigger" event occurs and administrators open the system to relevant personnel, says Neil Hammerschmidt, an NAIS program coordinator.
The USDA began developing NAIS in 2005 with a drive for voluntary registration of the roughly 1.4 million sites, or "premises," in the U.S. livestock production industry. Last year the USDA began issuing animal identification numbers to participants' cattle. These are unique numbers that would prevent confusion or redundancy among databases domestically and internationally. Approximately 25 percent of premises were registered as of early this year, and the ATPS portal was expected to be operational online by mid-March.
Unlike foreign animal ID programs, NAIS will require only the existing standard visual identification—typically an ear tag. It will not require that ranchers also use RFID tags.
The USDA states the goal of being able to complete a full trace-back for a sick animal within 48 hours, and further seeks full producer participation in its animal ID program by 2009.
The participation question divides cattle producers—who advocate a voluntary system—and meat processors, who support mandatory tracking. Mark Dopp, senior vice president and general counsel for the American Meat Institute, which represents processors, says he saw the government back away from the initial goal of mandatory participation, a move he says was "market driven," alluding to ranchers' concerns over cost and privacy.
Joe Schuele, a spokesman for the National Cattleman's Beef Association, says ranchers' concerns over cost pale next to those about privacy of proprietary inventory or transaction data. Ranchers worry that data could be used to manipulate prices if they fell into competitors' hands.
"The livestock industry is extremely competitive, and cattle producers do not want to give out access to this information," says Schuele, whose group supports voluntary, privately run databases. Meanwhile, USDA is beefing up risk-based inspections in processing plants, beginning this month.
Somewhere there may be a terrorist who hungers to make a mark by contaminating food supplies. More likely, it is simply the vagaries of nature in the form of diseases, such as E. coli outbreaks, that we most need to guard against. Whatever the threat, food sector professionals have a lot on their plates. But as these multiple efforts show, they also have the appetite to take on the challenge.

The snow went around the south of us and to the east. But it's really cold again. Today we went to the Family History library. Eric is doing well and seems to be finding out bits of information. I have decided to give up on Nina. She didn't want to be found and she got her wish. I am mostly just plugging in family names and seeing what comes up, like Kiracofe, Stamets and Klage. We packed a lunch and ate in the car. We drove home and then went to the laundromat. My watch battery died and Eric got it fixed. He bought me a mixer! I can't wait to get it. We will be making lots of bread when I get my mixer. Tonight we had salmon and pasta. We had a chance to go to karaoke again but we turned it down. By the time we add gas, drinks the meal is $20. I forgot one line in the poem – use it up, wear it out, make it do or go without. My prayers are with Lon tomorrow and Friday as he goes to Seattle to take the Professional Engineers exam. It's a 10 hour exam.

How Awesome is Taylor Swift?!?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
It might not get any cooler than Taylor Swift.
Already one of the more grounded, respected, popular singers on the planet, Taylor helped her reputation even more by making the dreams of a few Auburn University students come true. Here's what went down:
In January, Michael Wekall and Ryan Leander started the website A Hug From Taylor Swift. Their goal? To receive a hug from Taylor Swift. D'uh!
The pair posted videos and made online pleas to the star, which were soon met with a challenge from Taylor herself: perform some good deeds, encourage others to do the same, and perhaps the dream of an in-person meeting would come true.
Michael and Ryan did as they were asked - and Swift made good on her promise.
Yesterday, Wekall and Leander urged students to meet them for a special karaoke session. Soon after the group completed a rendition of "You Belong With Me," Swift appeared on stage, donning a "Hug from Mike and Ryan" t-shirt.
Fast forward to the four-minute mark below to get to the especially cool part:
Seriously, how awesome is Taylor Swift?!?
Wanna dress like Taylor? Remember to visit the THG Fashion Store!
@ Nikki, no she didn't. She's been promoting herself as a pop "singer". It's very rightful for her to be shut out of the COUNTRY scene. I mean COME ON! She invited Katy Perry for her concert! Who does that?! So, no. She DIDN'T DESERVE Entertainer of The Year.
Oh God... Not this untalented hag again. I guess she really is desperate for attention. Why can't she be like most country artist who just lay low and do their own thing without using youtube to promote themselves. Oh yeah! She's not a COUNTRY artist. I really don't care what she does, I just hope she'll permanently move to pop. If you think about it, she'll fit in perfectly with the likes of Rihanna, Ke$ha etc etc.. Autotuned, studio-produced "singers".
@ Tsharky SHE CAN'T FUCKING SING!!!! That's my point you dip shit. It's funny how you say you listen to good music, yet every artist you mentioned is overly commcercialized and is played a million times a day on top 40 stations. Way to go buddy, your taste is SO good. Your the one who apparently doesn't get the concept of music, well good music anyway. In the mean time, please educate yourself on real music other than bubble gum pop. A grammar course wouldn't hurt either. Thanks.
Taylor should have taken Entertainer Of The Year at the ACMs not Carrie. She deserved it more.
@ Tsharky If it wasn't for people like you, who are actually "fans" of Taylor and THINK she can sing, nobody would have to point out the fact that she is lacking in the vocals department. AND hearing "love story" or "You belong with me" (which both SUCK ASS BTW) can only be heard so many times without wanting to rip ones ears off. The music business does not care about talent (case and point, Taylor Swift, Kesha, Rihanna). People like you, who buy into this commercialized crap they put out and call music, make them money and they keep punishing everyone by making more "music".
funny how all these people who dislike Taylor cant seem to stop talking about her. Its like shes always on their mind! OH NOES! could they have a secret crush on her? why else would they keep talking about her? If I didnt like a person I would just move on, i dont know thats just me. But it seems people on here who continue to dislike her looooovvveeee to talk about her. what other logical reason could there be? Oh wait.. let me help you trolls out
SHES TONE DEAF SHES TONE DEAF SHES TONE DEAF cuz of course that is what youre going to say right? and havent already said a million times, bunch of repetitive redundant insignificant trolls.
Cool thing for Taylor to do. The "tranny" comment is way out of line. @Hilton Hater: I think Taylor's overexposure created backlash. I don't think she can sing a lick either and no number of awards will convince me otherwise (let's face it, the industry was just happy somebody was selling records). But she's a very smart girl and she's got a great ability to connect with her fans. Very cool that she's leading them to good stuff like this. Taylor did a good job on SNL so maybe she could transition into being an actress and skitwriter plus keep songwriting with other people singing her songs. That way she could keep the star status she's got now and keep inspiring young boys and girls, but she wouldn't assault our ears with the singing ;)
Hilton Hater: I suggest reading "The Horsedealer's Daughter", it's about a doctor that he has become trapped in his own opinions, then he meets someone and falls in love, then realizes his opinions were farcical. I'm very aware that the subject is TS.
People, People - this article is about the fan meeting and concert Taylor gave at Auburn University. You know, a great gesture and a great example of why so many love Taylor. Let's not get into comparing awards, songs, etc. It is possible to like more than one enterainer. Anyway, I love Taylor Swift & things like this that she does make me love her more. Can't wait for her new album.

In part because of the recent violence in our community, a stoop night was held on the evening of Thursday, August 28th. It provided a chance for neighbors to get outside and meet other neighbors, as well as local police officers.
District 46 Senator Bill Ferguson is Chair of the Baltimore Casino Local Development Council (BLDC). The BLDC advises Mayor Rawlings-Blake and future Baltimore mayors on how the community impact funds should be spent.
Leadership from the neighborhood associations of Federal Hill, Federal Hill South, Riverside, and South Baltimore, along with Delegates Clippinger and McHale, and Councilman Cole's office, met with Southern District (SD) Police leadership on Thursday (8/21).
Business updates in Federal Hill, Carroll-Camden, Locust Point, South Baltimore and Hollins Market.
A photo tour around the area of the proposed Stadium Square Development located in Sharp-Leadenahll and adjacent to Federal Hill and the South Baltimore Neighborhood.
The plan calls for several hundred residential units, 300,000-square feet of office space, 60,000- to 70,000-square feet of retail, and close to 2,000 parking spaces.
"Almost unprecedented" was the term continually used by Anirban Basu of Sage Policy Group, a subcontractor of McCormick Taylor, and Wesley Mitchell of McCormick Taylor when describing the $10-$18 million per year in casino impact funds that will be coming to the South Baltimore communities.
On Thursday, April 17, 2014, a public safety forum was held for the Southern District of Baltimore City at the National Federation of the Blind in Riverside. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Commissioner Anthony W. Batts, Major Ian Dombroski, Fire Chief Niles Ford, and many police officers from the Southern District were on hand to address the safety concerns from residents of South Baltimore neighborhoods.
Starting in April, the Baltimore Department of Public Works (DPW) will begin mechanical street sweeping for all of Baltimore's neighborhoods. This is great news for those who have been frustrated by the cleanliness of the streets throughout the city.
The Ryleigh's restaurant group's plans for Crossbar were approved on Thursday, February 20th by the Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore City (BLLC) thus expanding the liquor license from 12-14 E. Cross St. to 12-18 E. Cross St. However, the drawings for the plan, which included several zoning variances, were denied at the Baltimore City Municipal Zoning and Appeals Board (BMZA) yesterday, February 25th. The plan was approved by a 3-2 vote, but a 4-1 decision of approval is needed for projects to move forward.
After ten months of discussions, two proposals, hundreds of hours of negotiations, two liquor board hearings totaling more than eight hours, and three attempts to challenge the validity of the liquor license, the plan for Crossbar der Biergarten has been approved by the BLLC.
Population growth is seen as a key to improving Baltimore, lowering property taxes, and improving city services. However, in an area like the South Peninsula, where occupancy rates are near 100%, new construction is needed for significant population growth. From 2000 to 2010, the area saw a population growth of 1,116 residents going from 18,145 to 19,261.
Ole Federal Hill Liquors has completed their move from 1238 Light St. to 1232 Light St. in the former home of Bay Vanguard Federal Savings Bank.

The site is located behind the Papa John's on Hanover St. Of the 11 townhomes planned, six will be facing Clarkson St. and five will be facing Ropewalk Ln.
Although 2013 ended with a homicide in Sharp-Leadenhall on December 31st, South Baltimore's Sector 4 saw a significant decrease in crime in 2013. Sector 4 includes the neighborhoods of Otterbein, Sharp-Leadenhall, Federal Hill, Federal Hill South, SBNA, Riverside, Locust Point, Ridgely's Delight, Stadium Area, and portions of Barre Circle.


text: A couple of weeks before Christmas a friend and I decided to give Bellevue a try, this was a very good decision. The Maitre d'Hotel that welcomed us took great care all evening long, he recommended not only the food but also knew a thing or two about wine (we were later told that the degustation menu was worth a try). As an appetizer I had the tiger prawns risotto, the aroma from the saffron and seafruits was a delicious combination. This was followed by the roasted veal and accompagniated by a couple of different french wines. Overall this dinner was excellent, for a nice (maybe even romantique) evening Bellevue is a great spot.

New Mitt Romney Super PAC Ad Calls Newt Gingrich a Name-Dropping Liarby Free Britney at . Comments
Restore Our Future, a Super PAC supporting Mitt Romney, slams rival Newt Gingrich in a new ad for (repeatedly) claiming a connection to Ronald Reagan.
"From debates, you'd think Newt Gingrich was Ronald Reagan's vice president," a narrator says. "Gingrich exaggerates, dropping Reagan's name 50 times."
"In his diaries, Reagan mentioned Gingrich only once. Reagan criticized Gingrich, saying Newt's ideas 'would cripple our defense program.' Reagan rejected Newt's ideas."
"On leadership and character, Gingrich is no Ronald Reagan."
The question: Is Mitt questioning Newt's claims and credentials going to be enough to overcome his own conservative shortcomings in the eyes of voters?

Connelly delivers with 'Black Box'
Michael Connelly has been writing books featuring Los Angeles police Detective Harry Bosch for 20 years, and his 25th novel, "The Black Box" (Little, Brown, $27.99), continues his streak of telling stellar crime stories.
This time, the case holds a personal connection to Bosch. In 1992, during the L.A. riots, a woman's body was found shot in a dark alley. She was a reporter from Europe who was working on a big case, but why was she deep in the middle of the chaos? Was her murder related to the riots or her investigation? Bosch never had a chance to find out because he was pulled to another crime and the case was turned over to another unit.
Her murder was never solved, and Bosch never forgot about it. Working for the cold case unit, Bosch decides to reopen the case, and soon discovers the gun used in her shooting was involved in other crimes involving gang members.
Instead of following the money, he decides to follow the gun. His hope is to find the plane's "black box." He knows that if he's persistent, he'll finally discover the truth.
His character and code of honor make Bosch one of the top detectives in crime fiction. Connelly has a gift for taking what seem to be cliches and making them fresh and vibrant.

'Diary' a fascinating child-star tale
Fox Business Network anchor Melissa Francis isn't just familiar with the term "stage mom," she lived it.
Francis grew up a child actress, with a full-time role on "Little House on the Prairie" when she was 8, but what people might not know is that her mother was so invested in her daughter's career that she was often manipulative and selfish.
Francis writes about her own "Mommy Dearest" experience in the memoir, "Diary of a Stage Mother's Daughter" (Weinstein, $26). She tells how her mother was like a drill sergeant, making sure she was prepared and punctual for auditions and jobs, while at home, the conditions were often that of squalor. Laundry would pile up, often there was no food in the refrigerator, and when Francis wasn't working, her mother would fall into a deep depression.
Interwoven with memories of Hollywood are examples of how Francis' older sister, Tiffany, was often the forgotten child and began to act out as a result. As Francis grows up and wants to focus on being a college student, her sister regresses and becomes more dependent on her parents.
"Diary of a Stage Mother's Daughter" is not only a fascinating read but also an inspiring story, as Francis' strength and determination to become more than just a former child star is nothing short of commendable.

Funny life tales from Penn Jillette
Penn Jillette of the comedy-magic duo of Penn & Teller follows up last year's "God, No!" with "Every Day Is an Atheist Holiday!" (Blue Rider, $25.95), filled with humorous essays that provide new perspectives on familiar life struggles. Readers will enjoy extremely funny stories from a man who loves his family and doesn't let his celebrity go to his head.
One story tells of how dressing up as a ghost to read a book at his daughter's day care center became a nightmare when Jillette realized that he looked like a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
He explains how Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" is edited and describes his collision with singer Clay Aiken when they both appeared on the show.
He also tells many stories about his work with Teller, including their early years working on street corners, and how some of their tricks have gone horribly wrong. Jillette realizes just how lucky he and Teller are to have a following and that people are willing to pay to see their act.
A few of the essays are follow-ups to "God, No!" but reading the previous book isn't necessary to enjoy this one. However, Jillette can get quite vulgar and gross at times, so if R-rated language and situations are an issue, stay away. Otherwise, enjoy!

- A perennial favoritePattyDined on 11/21/2014We were entertaining friends from out of town and immediately chose Provence as our site for lunch. The chicken crepes are to die for, and everyone had a great meal. The ambience is great, and there is a separate meeting room for groups, so it is never noisy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal.....again!sonormanDined on 11/14/2014My wife and I had such a fantastic meal a couple months back, we made the one hour + drive back. We were seated immediately and our server came by right away. He was very attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. We started our meal with a warm spinach salad for my wife and a bowl ol lobster bisque for me. My only suggestion would be to get the dressing on the side. It was a little too much for our taste ( taste was fine, just too much in the bowl). We had a cheese board with 3 cheeses and it was wonderful! We both had the chicken dish and it was delicious! No hesitation recommending this restaurant to anyone. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our second visit and loved it!GeezerBoyDined on 10/25/2014Food great, but what we like most is the attentive and friendly staff. Our waiter dealt patiently with our indecision, made a few gentle suggestions (including an excellent wine) and worked our table like we were the only folks in the place. We are looking forward to more visits with friends and family.Special Features:
- goudDined on 10/22/2014Consistently great food with impressive plate presentation. I especially like the daily seafood choices which are always the freshest ever and cooked to perfection-never overcooked. The service and the owner/manager is friendly and circulating often to maintain and solicit immediate feedback from guests at their table. Love that homermade bread pudding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing dinner experienceDeaconChefDined on 10/18/2014From having to go find the hostess at 6:30 on a Saturday night - to our service simply taking too long, this was not fun a fun or worthwhile experience. The soup was clearly from soup base and the snails although helix, the butter was extremely salty as we told our server. There was very little authentic French about the menu. I ordered the duck pate which was good along with two cheeses; a blue which was good and a Taleggio which tasted more like brie - a far cry from authentic. The best thing about the meal was the wine. We ordered a Pouilly Fuisse and they were out of the brand listed, the one that they brought was corked and then we ordered a Ca Chardonnay which was good. Like most of the meal, it took three tries to get it right.
- Great DateBrainysmrfDined on 10/11/2014Excellent food, great service and relaxed atmosphere.Special Features:
- Great ambianceAllAroundEnjoyableDined on 10/3/2014Nice to meet and greet locals ... Food is great and service was very good despite being a busy Friday evening..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A La Provencepick17Dined on 9/27/2014Really disappointing. Difficult to find even with GPS. This restaurant makes claims for its French cuisine which is laughable. And it is greatly over-priced. Service was also amusingly self important which, given the prices and poor dishes, was sort of amazing. To be specific, risotto was over-cooked, salmon over-cooked, escargots were tough, and lamb chops tough and stringy, and needed at least one more. Our overall impression was a mean, badly cooked presentation, and we felt ripped off.
- Not happyOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/24/2014We were both disappointed in food and service. This was a special occasion and we will not be back.Special Features:
- An Epicurean DelightMLaneDined on 9/24/2014I found this restaurant by accident while I was looking for another place about a year ago and I am very glad I did. The staff is friendly and they know the menu very well. The prices are very reasonable and the food is tremendous. The pate is made in house and is always superb. All of the entrees that I have tried are excellent but my favorite is the Chicken Normandy, perfectly roasted bone-in chicken with Calvados creme sauce. AMAZING!!! Also, the wine list is quite nice with very reasonable prices for the quality of the bottles available. I always dine at A La Provence when I come to town.Special Features:
- Excellent find!sonormanDined on 9/6/2014My wife and I had a fantastic meal here. The staff was very attentive and everything that we ordered was superb! We had lobster bisque , a small cheese board, a chopped salad and a chicken dish. I will be going back very soon!Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerluvtoeatDined on 8/16/2014My wife and I celebrated our forty-fifth wedding anniversary recently at A La Provence. We were treated to a great experience as we dined. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helped us select a wine that was perfect for both our entrees The service was exceptional. We left feeling that we had had a wonderful time. We will be back!Special Features:
- One of the best in the areafiddlerDined on 8/12/2014Excellent service, excellent food; dining in the bar area is particularly cozy. Staff remember your wine preferences and are always willing to order additional vintages at your request.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, Great ServiceVal2885Dined on 8/9/2014My fiancé and I had been meaning to check this place out for awhile as we love the whole market square area ( Lofty Pursuits, SideCar Gastropub, The Lounge) and we're so glad we finally did!! Our server Justin was extremely attentive and personable. He had some great recommendations (get the duck confit! Best I've had) All the food was cooked to perfection, and were pretty nice size portions. Also enjoyed the atmosphere and overall look. So if you're a fellow foodie, definitely check it outSpecial Features:
- Always GreatJaneVIPDined on 8/9/2014I've been to A La Provence many times. I have never been disappointed. The food is always very good, staff are friendly and professional.Special Features:
- Phenomenal!!CharnishaDined on 8/9/2014My wife and I were celebrating a much needed "date night" and stumbled upon A La Provence. From start to finish the meal was incredible! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and the full wine list, offer ing to pair certain dishes with various varietals. We started with the Wagyu carpaccio, which was a first for both of us. Our waiter convinced us to steer away from our first choice (the tried-and-true escargot) and instead try something new. I had the Boeuf de Jour ( that night an in house dry aged hand cut New York strip). New York strip is not my first choice when it comes to steak but this was easily a top five contender! My wife had the Andoullie and scallop pasta which I "helped" her finish. AWESOME!!Special Features:
- Enjoyable dinnerHappilyFedDined on 8/7/2014Great anniversary dinner last week. The food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic! We were able to relax and savor the delicious taste of the onion soup and the duck with quail main dish. The restaurant was not crowded on a Thursday night so we had a nice table. We would recommend this restaurant to others and we look forward to coming back again and trying their other variety of dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/1/2014Wonderful selection of cheeses Escargot is above average even for a French restaurant, though a little light on the Brie Diver sea scallops were simply outstanding Drinks were mediocre at best Quail-duck combination lacked any zip to itSpecial Features:
- The following 250 reviews are from the A La Provence reviews archive.
- Great dinnerPlanetGirlDined on 7/30/2014I've been to A La Provence for lunch, but this was my 1st time for dinner - went with my husband & another couple. The food is lovely, the service was great - waiter was humorous without being snarky, attentive without hovering. His recommendations for the cheese platter were good, as was the wine he suggested. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant for a nice evening out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- trinifoodieDined on 7/26/2014Our experience at A La Provence can be summed up as `adequate but not stellar''
- Wonderful foodNoleFamDined on 7/12/2014Went here recently for a birthday dinner for my husband. As always, the food was excellent. I had pasta and my husband had a petit filet. Only slight negative was the serice - our waiter seemed to forget about us. We had to ask for the water glasses to be filled long after they were empty. But overall a lovely restaurant for special occasions.Special Features:
- great food, great staffOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/28/2014they did a great job with the food on their menu. Also, the staff was great. We went to the bar next door for drinks afterwards and talked with head chef and GM of the restaurant. Really nice people, really good food, and I highly recommend it.Special Features:
- PidgeDined on 6/16/2014Loved it! Our first time dining at A La Provence and the only thing negative I could say is that it's a little difficult to find. If you see a big sign that says: LOUNGE, you're there. It's right next door with a canopy that comes all the way out to the parking lot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine dining at its finest!IFineDineDined on 6/6/2014I took my significant other to A La Provence on two special occasions and they did not disappoint. The food is simply outstanding and the wine list left us satisfied. Even though the dessert menu seemed a little bare (in my personal opinion), the Grand Marnier souffle was quite tasty. We will be back again.Special Features:
- Good Food for a Good OccasionInSearchofZestDined on 6/6/2014My wife and I attended A La Provence for our first anniversary. It was a really good experience. We enjoyed the food, the wine, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. Our server was pleasant and helpful, and when our wine was unavailable, they upgraded it at no additional charge. We would be pleased to return to this restaurant in the future.Special Features:
- c'est la vieZooeyDined on 6/4/2014Maybe our expectations were too high or maybe the night we went the restaurant was not performing at its potential. Went middle of week restaurant was maybe at 25% of capacity. Took over an hour to get appetizers. Server was slow to clear and personable but considering we were there over 2 hours he was rarely at our table. The food had good presentation. Our cheese and cracker dish was served without crackers, had to request. Considering the average price per person was $45 we expected ambiance, great service and the food to be WOW. What we got was uncomfortable chairs in a room basically devoid of atmosphere, so so service, and food that was better than good but not WOW!Special Features:
- High EndFrenchflairDined on 5/10/2014Traditional French food done right. Indulgent service. Quite expensive. Only criticism is the stodgy atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceMisterBourbonDined on 5/9/2014Great food, great service, great ambiance. Try the prix fixe option!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/3/2014A bit of a long wait in spite of having a reservation. Great service, meal and dining experience once seated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Graduation dinnerFSUvisitorDined on 5/3/2014The service and food were outstanding even in the full -to -capacity restaurant. We never felt rushed or ignored. The food was wonderful and we will be back next year!Special Features:
- Fabulous 4 courses and wine!familyoffoodiesDined on 5/3/2014The food was FABULOUS, and our waiter Chris was very attentive after a slightly slow start. Our waiter brought out a small sampler sized bean and olive salad on serving spoons as a starter. The bread had a spectacular olive tapenade! We ordered the lobster bisque, the escargot and the crab cake with the fried green tomato which was just divine and everyone's favorite! For entrees we ordered the salmon, the yellow fin tuna, the duck and the lamb. We ordered the flour-less chocolate torte, the creme brulee and a blueberry apple cobbler served with ice cream. If the building and decor were just a bit more upscale I would have given five stars. Excellent menu, food and wine at a great price!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- "Buyer Beware"LyndsayCooperDined on 5/2/2014After selecting La Provence; making a rez 4 weeks in advance for for friends from out of town and their daughter graduating from FSU, we encountered the following disappointments: 1) 10 days before we were notified that we had to execute a food/beverage minimum agreement & return within 5 days, or else rez would be cancelled; and 2) upon our arrival, learned menu for this particular night was dramatically paired down from usual one. I was not apprised of either of these conditions when making the rez through OPEN TABLE. I have seen other "special notes" in OPEN TABLE when I've made rezes at other restaurants. Also, we were seated in the "banquet room" instead of the usual restaurant area. Isolated with no ambiance. Beware!
- LeslieVIPDined on 5/2/2014Ambiance of the restaurant was very nice, food was excellent and service was great! Bottles of wine weren't that expensive compared to most restaurants. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to go somewhere for a special occasion, or even just for a great meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

GANGSTER SQUAD Director Ruben Fleischer to Produce and Helm Untitled Sci-Fi Fantasy for Sony
Ruben Fleischer is ready to try his luck with sci-fi. It has been reported that Fleischer is returning to Sony Pictures- where he made Zombieland and 30 Minutes or Less- to direct a sci-fi/fantasy film and the title is unknown. It was his idea to direct a sci-fi film because he wanted to take on a new challenge along with Eric Pearson who is the screenwriter. The plot is not yet revealed but we know we're in for a surprise because Fleischer's previous film, Gangster Squad is a drama/action film. Although Fleischer found great success with Zombieland, Gangster Squad wasn't that great of a success, as it tallied up a worldwide gross of just over $100 million against a $60 million budget.
Fleischer is also developing a modification of the video games Spy Hunter at Warner Bros. to direct, but we're not sure what he'll challenge himself with in his next project. Gangster Squad has some tone issues, but we're all excited to see how he'll take on a sci-fi film.

What a great school! My oldest son just graduated after two years at the Co-Op. His experiences there really benefited him, particularly in his social development. He is more confident, has made many friends, and is totally ready for Kindergarten in the fall. I like how involved parents are at this school. The co-op model gives parents more say in how the school is run, and it keeps tuition costs low as well. My wife and I have gotten to know other local parents through co-op activities, which another a nice benefit. My youngest son did the "tot time" program this year and will be signing up for the three year old class next year. He's already excited about the three's class teacher, who does so many great projects with the kids.
