technique cookbooks esp. for possibly short attention spans...
- f
- feedmec00kies Dec 5, 2006 04:28 AM
hey, so after my boyfriend admitted he knows *nothing* about technique when it comes to cooking, i thought that a good present for him for the holidays would be one or two books on technique. i did some searching on chowhound and after reading a lot of opinions pretty much settled on getting him jacques pepin's complete techniques and tom colicchio's think like a chef, if that's not too redundant. i was also thinking of possibly getting him an asian cookbook.
however... i asked his sister for advice and she reminded me how short his attention span can be. if it's something he's enthusiastic about, he can be quite a voracious reader. however, i'm afraid that books won't completely keep his attention.. i glanced through the complete techniques and have gotten the sense from people as well that it might be more of a resource than something to curl up with while drinking hot cocoa next to the fireplace. is this untrue? and more importantly, should i get him some sort of multimedia resource additionally or instead? or should i pray he reads the books, and comandeer them for my own when i move in with him, whether or not he actually reads them?
Does he cook? you don't say. It seems to me if he's not already hooked on cooking, the two books you suggest may not be the best choice. (I cook alot and like to learn about technique but both of your choices seem, well too pedantic to draw me in.)
Perhaps you should consider giving him a simple cookbook. He can dabble a bit and get a sense for what he needs to learn (if I put this chicken breast in a pan and no crust develops . . . guess it's time to read about sauteeing, etc.)
One of my pet peeves is that there are too many glossy cookbooks w/ fancy recipes and few simple "how to cook" books that appeal. How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman is my preferred gift book for non-confident home cooks. Or perhaps Home Cooking by the CIA which explains techniques yet provides plenty of recipes to get satisfaction from.
think like a chef taught me a great deal when i first got into cooking... the way that techniques ramp up into more complex preparations is very well conceived in that book. another book, albeit one that is more specialized, is "let the flames begin" by chris schlesinger and doc willoughby. men who don't spend a great deal of time in the kitchen will often enjoy cooking over a grill a little more (at least at first) and those guys do a great job of teaching proper grilling technique while appealing to the more "macho" sensibilities of grilling. indeed, much is made of drinking beer around the grill, etc; but the recipes are top notch. i yet haven't found one that wasn't a hit. granted, if you don't want to buy him a grill on top of a bunch of cookbooks, then it's a moot point. (although i might suggest it...)
i also agree, however, that if he doesn't have at least a nascent interest in cooking, then perhaps you might want to start by telling him how much it would mean to you if he learned to cook...
I love Harold McGee's food science books, but I have a technical background. "On Food and Cooking" is sort of the complete bible of anything you'd want to know; it is however more a reference book than a technique book. He explains everything from the different ways of fermenting booze from Chinese rice wine (fungal starch conversions) to beer and wine (enzyme/yeast) to how to temper chocolate.
Most sections are just a few pages long and are crammed with information, but the way it cross references other sections in the book also lends itself to longer reading sessions. It was our favorite bathroom book for the longest time because it's perfect for short reads...
Maran Illustrated Cooking Basics is an easy-to-follow instructional book that demonstrates all of the techniques with full colour photos, step-by-step. The descriptive words are concise and to the point. It's available at amazon.com, indigo.ca, Barnes and Noble, etc.
Check it out at www.maran.com/cooking.htm
re: Kishari
I second these books. I haven't used the recipes in them, but I think they are some of the most accessable technique books.
well, he really likes cooking, but there's some stuff he doesn't really think about when he's doing it... for example, that he should pan fry chicken before putting it in sauce rather than cooking it in the sauce if he doesn't want to wait a while for it to cook. i don't really need to implore him to learn, because he's actually the one who brought his lack of knowledge up first, kind of like he was lamenting this lack of knowledge. he's really not too "macho" to want to cook, and i know that he'd like to learn how (i've already suggested that he watch cooking shows on PBS because that's probably largely how i learned).
those all sound like good suggestions.. i've thought of getting him something on the science of food since he might be interested in that aspect. maybe i should give a little more background on his personality, because although he's got a short attention span at times, when he becomes interested in something, he goes all out. examples: when he decided that if i went to sweden next year that he'd go with me, he started reading more on sweden than i probably had (and i was applying for a fulbright), including about the culture, language, geography, weather, etc. he's also very much into beer, and spends a lot of time reading about styles, what breweries are coming out with what soon, what the distribution of different breweries tends to be, what beers he should probably make sure to try if he finds it in the store, etc, and he really wants to try homebrewing. similar with photography, music, juggling, headphones... he's kind of a collector of (sometimes random) information and skills as far as his personality, so the more simple cookbooks would be good, but he probably could handle more, as long as it's not ridiculously dry.
i'll definitely take the suggestions on the books since i /am/ thinking that i'd rather test the waters to see how far he's going to take this, and they all sound like good places for him to start.

Hi guys, this is chapter one of my story. I hope you like it! Please do comment and vote if you like the story. I would really appreciate it. I also need suggestions, btw. Thanks! =)
Love you! =}
The edited Chapter One
Without Wax,
Belle Burns
The video on the left (is it left? Kind of right.) is one of my favorite bands. They are the Ezra Band they're from the Philipines. This band is really amzing! And this song "Walang Iba" (No Other in English) reminds me of Cupid and Psyche that's why I posted the video here and then Jojo's picture because I want her to be Psyche...Hope you love it too! =)
Chapter One
Our mind is like a treasure chest. It's filled with different kinds of memories that our brain has stored. We may not know how many memories we have but for sure our brain can store more memories than we know. It's because it has a lot more bytes in its own memory card. There are memories that made us feel so troubled and mad. Some of them made us happy and some made us cry.
But there are two important kinds of memory that are stored in our brain. These are the happiest and saddest memories that we have. These two memories even though it can be written on a journal are very important to a person's life because they make them who they are. It defines who they are. In every pain and every joy that person is who he or she is because that person learns from it. It's a reminder that the integration of our experiences, no matter how sad or frightening they may be, it transforms us, like the symbol of the butterfly emerging into the light from its dark cocoon.
My brain is filled with so many memories and I don't even know if I could just tell you everything in just a day or if I could enumerate it one by one. Yet only a few memories of mine are fully treasured by my precious head. Memories that had made me become stronger and better. There are memories of mine that I wanted to forget and there are some of which I wanted to keep. If my brain is consist of many particles, veins and muscles that I may not fully know then it can also be like a CPU. A CPU has also small widgets the same as my brain that stores the files on its memory. Only that when a CPU is broken it can be fixed and can also be reformat. But what if my brain wanted to forget something? How could I delete it? Just the irony of life… when you wanted to remember something, you can't remember it. But when you wanted to forget something you just can't forget.
I know that was not the introduction you want to read. Because entirely it doesn't make any sense. Does it connect to the story? No. But not really.
How do you fall out of love with somebody?
Well… I don't know. Maybe when you die? That's how secrets stay long and relationships cut short. But the truth is, I really don't have any idea when falling in love once again to that same person is the least you could do. The more you hate, the more you love basis. I mean, how can you fall out of love with someone when he suddenly takes interest in you like your some Pulitzer Prize for crying out loud?
It happened back when I was in my Senior year of high school. I remember that it was a sunny day on the mid-end of November and I was preparing myself for one of my biggest break in school. The School Play.
The School Play might be the very first play I've ever joined. I know it's kind of weird but I never had the guts to join any school activities since I was in elementary nor in high school. I was a complete AWOL. But as I reached my Senior year, I have decided why not give it a try? For sure it won't kill me if I join even if I only get in as a supporting role and it would also count as an experience to see the world. Not that I have something to do with the Theatre Arts.
Anyways, on the day of my audition I stopped by the church and decided to become a real Catholic. I took a peek at myself from the window and I know exactly who I am… I am Psyche Lumiére. I am seventeen years old and I have a very weird name. Just blame it to my parents who are obsessed with weird things. But I'm just lucky to have that name—you know the Psyche. It's because somehow in school no one has the same name as I do. So I can just walk the corridors without worrying that I might turn my head and waste my time for an unmistaken call of my name. Otherwise my dad says that it means butterfly and I love butterflies! They are so colorful and they fly too.

Chief Executive Officer David Farr is focusing Emerson Electric Co. on four businesses with worldwide growth potential while shrinking his most profitable unit: the maker of wet-dry vacuums and InSinkErator disposals.
Emerson Electric Co. Chief Executive Officer David Farr wants to boost growth at his air- conditioner compressor unit by helping keep the world's food supply from spoiling.
Investor Warren Buffett enjoyed learning more about how his son tries to tackle world hunger, while fellow billionaire Carlos Slim studied how General Motors Co. and AT&T Inc. reinvented themselves.
Oracle Corp.'s Larry Ellison was the highest-paid chief executive officer in the U.S. last year as total compensation overall rose 9 percent from 2012, the New York Times reported.
Mergers and acquisitions among manufacturers are poised to accelerate, building on the biggest quarter for global deal making since 2007, as companies focus on growth after years of cost cuts, consultant PwC said.
"For two and a half years of really keeping things really tight and looking where things happen, the time is to pivot and to increase our investments."

Hudak would cut 100,000 public sector jobs to wipe $12.5B deficit
Keith Leslie, The Canadian PressPublished: Saturday, May 10, 2014
Ontario's Opposition Leader Tim Hudak's vow Friday to wipe out 100,000 public sector jobs if he wins the June 12 election earned immediate condemnation from his political opponents and union leaders.
The public sector job cuts are a key part of the Progressive Conservative leader's plan to eliminate the $12.5-billion deficit by 2016 - a year ahead of the Liberals' schedule.
It's the fastest way to restore business confidence and generate new investment and new jobs, said Hudak, who calls job creation "the only issue" in this election.
"If I have to trade off 100,000 jobs in the bureaucracy for one million new jobs in the private sector creating wealth, that's a tradeoff I would do any second," he told
a town hall meeting in Barrie. "It's not easy, I take no joy in this, but it has to be done if we want job creators to put more people on the payroll in our province."
Hudak said he can make a 10 per cent cut in the size of the public sector without affecting "vital" services performed by nurses, doctors and police, and save $2 billion a year.
He'd also make sure new government hires don't get the "gold plated pensions" current civil servants enjoy "that aren't seen anywhere outside of government."
Campaigning in Belleville, Premier Kathleen Wynne warned voters that Hudak's plan "would turn paycheques into pink slips" and force him to slash government programs
that people need.
"Tim Hudak either doesn't understand the numbers ... or he doesn't care about the services that we deliver in this province," she said at an earlier stop in Kingston. The New Democrats said it doesn't make sense to throw more people out of work when so many are already struggling to find a job.

Just where does it say that Kingdom officers can only do >their specified jobs? Some of us just happen to have friends who will >support us in almost anything unlike others... Support is wonderful and a necessary condition for any undertaking of such magnitude, but it is not sufficent. There is only so much time any person has available to devote to the various activites in thier life, if you get stretched too thin then you cannot give your responsabilities the time and effort they require to be done and done well. >BTW all the Black Stars for August were labeled AND mailed today along with >all the prep. for Coronation. Happy?!? Great, you accomplishe d the MINIMUM acceptable level, how much better might it have been if you had more time to devote to it? >Moriel***(who like so many others can't pass up a good challenge) There is a difference between a good challange and unreasonable expectations. A great deal of care should be given to how much one person can reasonably be expected to do. People who tend to volunteer for high demand jobs like Kingdom Chronicler (or Autocrat for Coronation) tend to be very type "A" sorts. They often do not have the distance to see when they are getting in over thier heads. So what happens is you get a handful of overly dedicated ppl who give everything they have until they get so burned out they can't play anymore. Which leads to annother problem with the uberscadians, they take so many responsabilities on themselves that they tend to shut out other people from the positions of responsability, so when they do burn out you wind up with no one with the experience to replace them. It would be a damn good policy to not allow kingdom officers (or regional officers or even local officers) to run events during their tenure in office. We have LOTS of people in the society, if you let them (and encourage them) we should have more then enough people to be responable for our events. -mcihael

Report: Apple Gets 15 Cents on Every $100 Transaction in Apple Pay
Apple gets 15 cents on every $100 transaction executed with Apple Pay, according to a report.
Apple gets 15 cents on every $100 transaction executed with Apple Pay, according to a report.
Square introduced a new reader that will accept chip-capable credit cards, which are popular outside the U.S. and projected to hit it big stateside soon.
As mobile payment options become more prevalent among small businesses, so too do the opportunities for fraud, new research shows. A study by LexisNexis and Javelin Strategy & Research discovered that smaller mobile merchants -- small businesses that accept at least one type of payment through either mobile browsers, mobile applications or mobile point-of-sale systems -- rely on fewer fraud-prevention solutions, meaning they are often more exposed to deceptive schemes.
Earlier this month, U.S. prosecutors took down the global currency exchange Liberty Reserve and charged it with being the largest online money laundering operation in history -- the "bank of choice for the criminal underworld." More than a million customers used the Costa Rica-based company to wash more than $6 billion, according to an indictment.
Lunch line a little long at your favorite sandwich shop? Soon you may be able to order your lunch from your phone while you're headed to the shop, pay for it, and breeze past the line to pick up your meal rather than wait thanks to a mobile payment service called GoPago. Starting this week the app is also running a promotion called Heros, which give you $10 to spend on that lunch and the ability to be the hero of your group of friends and give $10 for lunch to anyone you want for free.
MasterCard announced PayPass Wallet Services Monday, a new global offering that makes it easier and faster for customers to make purchases in stores and online, by allowing those purchases to be made with a single click or tap. "We think of MasterCard's mission as using technology to make payments safer, simpler, smarter and this is just one of the ways we're progressing against that mission" Ed McLaughlin, chief emerging payments office, MasterCard told Mashable.
When PayPal updated its mobile app March 15 it removed one way you were able to send payments: Bump, a feature that was available in the app since 2010. Starting Thursday, however, Bump is offering the capability on its own in the form of a new standalone app called Bump Pay. Bump Pay lets you pay a friend by typing in the amount of money you'd like to send, and then tapping your phone against your friend's phone.
Your favorite food truck owner, small business owner, and enterprising girl scout now have a new option when it comes to taking your credit card payment: PayPal Here. Announced Thursday at an event in San Francisco, PayPal Here is set to go head-to-head against mobile payment pioneer Square for part of the small business pie. Much like Square, PayPal Here will have a card reader that plugs into your mobile phone via the headset jack on your handset.
Google's mobile payment system, Google Wallet, is now available to the public -- for people who use Sprint Nexus S 4G phones and Citi MasterCards or Visa cards at least. The near-field communication and contact-less payment system was expected to launch this summer. Google Wallet -- along with Google Offers -- is built on an open platform that combines multiple credit cards, loyalty programs and offers at the point of sale.
The transformation of consumer payments is a hot topic right now. The market is changing both on mobile devices and at the point of sale. Every day it seems like there is a big announcement from a giant in the tech, payments, banking or telecom space that is characterized as the next "big" thing to transform payments.

Can you believe it's been EIGHT years since Twitter came into our lives? Yes, the world's first ever tweet was sent on May 1st 2006 by company founder Jack Dorsey. Fast forward to 2014 and Katy Perry is the most popular user on the social networking site with a whooping 51.3 million followers. Phewf.
In celebration of their birthday this year, Twitter has just set up a nifty tool for us tweeters to see our first ever foray into the Twittersphere - and have a nosey at everyone else's too. Discover.twitter.com is crazily addictive and we've had a whale of a time looking back at the openers from our favourite celebrity types.
Over four years after Twitter first launched, Victoria Beckham got involved and her opening tweet was about the airport being her runway, natch. Meanwhile Cara Delevingne signed up in June 2011, saying she'd succumbed and 'sold her soul'.
As for Lady Gaga, who now has 41.1 million followers, her first tweet was, 'op rehearsing for my video just dance and am now at wmc to perform at the Armani and nervous records party. But I am no nervous record!'. Ah yes, Just Dance. How far we've come, eh?
Take a look through the gallery above for more blasts from the past - and find your first here.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- As the Republican National Committee prepares for meetings in Washington this week, Gov. Rick Snyder and other party leaders in Michigan are criticizing repeated anti-gay and anti-Muslim remarks by Committeeman Dave Agema.
The 64-year-old ex-state representative from western Michigan represents the state on the Republican party's national board.
Snyder made a semi-veiled reference to Agema in Thursday's State of the State speech, calling for civil discourse in the public arena.
Ex-Republican National Committeewoman Betsy DeVos tells The Detroit News that Agema is hurting the party.
And Democratic state Chairman Lon Johnson says "it's time to remove Agema from his post."
Agema didn't respond to a message from The Associated Press left at his Facebook page last week. AP left another message for him Sunday at his website.

In one sense, Shanksville is a tiny village far from major cities and cultural attractions. But the crash of Flight 93 in a field there on Sept. 11, 2001 has brought visitors from around the world to the national park site that now marks the spot where the hijacked plane came down.

Singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan will perform at a dedication ceremony for the 9/11 memorial for Flight 93 in western Pennsylvania.
The National Park Foundation announced Monday the pop vocalist will sing at the Sept. 10 event near Shanksville, where the 40 passengers and crew aboard United Flight 93 died Sept. 11, 2001. The plane crashed in a field after it's believed the passengers tried to overtake the hijackers.
The Flight 93 National Memorial dedication will include dignitaries and the relatives of those killed in the attack.
Organizers have raised most of the estimated $60 million needed for the first phase of the design. The memorial will include a "Tower of Voices" housing 40 wind chimes.
McLachlan has won Grammy Awards for her songs "Building a Mystery" and "I Will Remember You."

Score from 119 reviews Good
Close to restaurant and bar. Comfortable bed.
Toilet and shower a bit smelly.
the room layout
Breakfast/ and breakfast room. no bread knife to cut the bread with, and to many people and to little space.
Easy to find on the edge of town making it good for onward travel. The rooms were very good value, parking easy in a quiet neighbourhood. Only 5 minute walk to a god restaurant and local bar. I would use it again if travelling through France and needing a quick stopover.
Designed to a formula with bathroom facilities made in a pod style. However very clean and functional
Straightforward hotel, no fuss, you know what your getting, good size room all clean and tidy good bed, all you need for a stopover
Signs to hotel should be clearer.

After a long drive from Calais we were glad to reach here at around 5.pm. Found it easy enough.Check in was easy,as it had just opened. Good location for overnight stop,not far from the motorway. We had a stroll after check in & found a Mcdonalds nearby where we had tea, Few cafes & bars walking distance as well. Breakfast was just as I had expected,having stayed a similar hotels in France. Cereal,bread,toast tea & coffee.Comfy bed & had a good night sleep.
The wi-fi was very iffy. Seemed pot luck weather you could get a connection or not. The only other bad thing I can say is that our room had a very unpleasant smell. When you walkid in it hit you straight away. It seemed to be coming from the drains in the en suite. Also,the room we had was not a proper en-suite.A plastic shower/toilet cubicle added in the corner of the room. We put bleach down the shower & toilet but made no difference. Also,a room with 3 people in & only provided 2 towels. We asked for extra 1.
Location near cirquit d Le Mans... Easy to find, nice and safety parking!
Fantastic staff. Really helpful. Nice restaurants and a bar nearby. Just right for relaxing after a days travel.
Not the easiest hotel to find. No tea or coffee facilities in the room.
Clean cheap good value
Easy access to and from motorway .
Pillows not to good
Receptionist was very helpful, friendly and spoke good English which helps. Room was ideal for our needs as it was only to sleep for the night and the fact that our dog could also stay was the reason for staying here and at a good price. Second stay here.
WiFi could have been better but no real issue.
It was very clean and modern, compared to some Premiere Classe we stay in. It benefited from air conditioning too. There is a McDonalds just up the road, within walking distance with a play area for kids, plus some other food shops a little closer.
The place was clean and tidy , value for money ideal for a overnight stay . Breakfast was ok did its job .
Overall good
There was a room above us which was having a very noisy fight / party
We had a family x 4 room which was comfortable for a 1 night stop over. Room was very clean and not much noise from rest of hotel. Had meal in pizzeria 5 mins walk which was perfect. Hotel was 10 minutes off the motorway which was great location and if you walk on past the childrens playground down the road there is a great view of Le Mans from top of the hill.
Breakfast was extremely basic and the room was too small that when we arrived there was nowhere to sit. We would have been happy to pay a bit more for a nicer breakfast. Could not get a connection to the hotel wifi.
Location Breakfast room
Nice price for budget travellers. Fortunately, the air conditioner was working in our room.
A little difficult to find the hotel entrance at the first visit while driving a car...you cannot reach the entrance from the main road!
Location is great and rooms are ideal for families.
Convenient and straightforward, with restaurants nearby. Nice buffet breakfast. Be prepared for the auto check-in if you arrive late e.g. after 9pm
price, cleanliness
Staff were helpful and friendly. Bed was very comfortable and all was quiet around so had a good night. Excellent value for money.
Didn't like having to drive into town for supper having been in the car too much already. Would be nice to have somewhere open near the hotel.
Very clean and modern Nice room - basic but functional Very cheap
Air conditioning wouldn't work Area is by University so in August the place is like a ghost town - no bars or restaurants were open - had to drive to find food
Excellent value Excellent position on way back to Euro tunnel ( not out of our way to get to) Staff spoke very good English and very accomadating.
cleanliness fine breakfast adaquate
room number 5 problems with air con unit flooding part of the room. reported it but 3 days later still not fixed & no alternative room offered. staff not interested in problems
close to the motorway so good for a quick stopover
quite a long way from le mans so wouldn't recommend walking in from here. Found the breakfast very uninspiring - toast and cornflakes in france?! The room was absolutely boiling so a bit uncomfortable

Everyone is familiar with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Yes, the one with the cannons. Sixteen cannon shots are written into the score, and they're to be fired in a two-minute span — it's known in the biz as "a big finish." Strangely, the management of some concert halls does not allow the discharge of artillery indoors, and so either prerecorded shots are played or clever drumwork substitutes. But should we be accepting substitutes on this adopted piece of Americana? For although the 1812 Overture was written to commemorate Russia's victory over Napoleon, it has become a staple of Fourth of July celebrations. Tonight, in its first Musical Mondays concert of the season, the Compton Heights Concert Band performs its traditional Tribute to July Fourth with a stirring performance of the 1812 Overture — and the musicians will be accompanied by real cannons. Partly because they perform outdoors in Tower Grove Park (4256 Magnolia Avenue; 314-776-2227 or www.chband.org), and partly because they can. If you have access to a cannon, it'd be foolish to not take advantage. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m., and admission is free.

RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) - It just got a lot cheaper to install rooftop solar systems for residents in one San Francisco Bay area city.
The Contra Costa Times reports (http://bit.ly/19MExvF) the City Council in Richmond voted unanimously Tuesday to slash permit prices for residential solar panel installations from $615 to $100. It's a move city leaders hope will jump start solar investments in local neighborhoods.
At $100, Richmond's price becomes the lowest in the Bay Area, tied with neighboring El Cerrito.
The newspaper says Richmond is one of nine East Bay cities that have moved to streamline and reduce the cost of the permitting process. The others are Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Hayward, Oakland and San Leandro.
Richmond Planning Director Richard Mitchell says the city issued 90 solar permits in the last year.

Romola (1862-1863) was George Eliot's only attempt to write a full-blown historical novel in the style of Sir Walter Scott. It explores late 15th-century Florentine religion and politics through the eyes of the beautiful, highly educated Romola and Tito, her witty, cultured and entirely amoral husband. As the story unfolds, Romola becomes disenchanted with her husband, enchanted by the fiery reforming Dominican Savonarola, and then disenchanted once again. Given the sheer amount of research involved, some of it done on the spot, Eliot found Romola extremely difficult to write; famously, she said afterward that "I began it a young woman,�I finished it an old woman."The novel was well received in the Victorian period, but is now one of Eliot's less-read novels. It was last adapted for film in 1925.

New York Slave Lyrics - The Blood Brothers
Review The Song (1)
Her smiles flashed SOS in that dress of sea anemone skin.
He pinned his heart to his tuxedo.
It throbbed and hissed like a rabid jewel.
From the back of the chapel cracked
and crystal our gaze locked in temptation.
A priest with a glass eye sang songs of Christian desperation,
the flower girls were all sown up.
They're hanging from the rafter,
showering your matrimony like a guillotine's laughter.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here to witness,
the sacred union of vibrancy and sickness...
Do you take this man with the diamond skin tie?
and when you are fucking him will you scream dollar signs?
Let me introduce you to a new phrase...
New York noose for a New York slave."
Stained glass eyes wink through Mother Mary's navelscope...
Whose pupils are watching?
The priest's tongue slips out like a jackal,
every eye in the audience spinning like a drill.
The groom plucks a key from the rapture tree
and opens her ribcage like a squealing armoire.
Her lungs and liver screaming mercy mercy mercy,
while they rearrange the wires in her heart.
I now pronounce you smiling like a grave,
I now pronounce you a New York slave.
Now every dripping chest wound is getting little guilt feeling.
What about your new life do you crave?
He's your ticket to fame
but you're his New York slave.

Barneville-Carteret Estate Rental Photos and Description
6 bedrooms,4 bath/ shower rooms, sleeps 12 - (Guest cottage optional)
Set on 100 acres of luscious rolling countryside with its centennial oaks, streams, ponds, and just 3 miles from the Atlantic Ocean's beaches, this family house boasts a tennis court and fresh water swimming for the sportsmen, lazy afternoons tapping on the Steinway or perusing one of the thousand volumes in the great panelled library for the reflective. It is furnished with the family's collection of art and furniture that spans 4 centuries of French master craftsmen's work.
The current house is said to have been settled in the 14th century. All that remains of the older house is the part that is the kitchen today: wattle walls on a stone foundation sunken by the passing years. Extended mainly in the 19th and 20th century, the last 20 years of restoration and extension have yielded what you can see and enjoy today.

|Watch an exclusive new TV spot for "Marvel's The Avengers" in "Marvel: Avengers Alliance" on Facebook
Marvel is exclusively premiering the next "Marvel's The Avengers" television commercial in the hit Facebook game "Marvel: Avengers Alliance." The new spot, live now, can be viewed only in the game at http://www.facebook.com/avengersalliance.

"'Marvel: Avengers Alliance' has attracted more than four million players since it launched last month, so we believe this game is the ideal platform for reaching a large and passionate Avengers fan base," said Mike Rubinelli, vice president of Playdom's studio operations.
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures "Marvel's The Avengers"--the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.
Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon from a screenplay by Joss Whedon, "Marvel's The Avengers" is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series "The Avengers," first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when "Marvel's The Avengers" assemble in summer 2012.
In addition to "Marvel's The Avengers," Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including "Iron Man 3" on May 3, 2013; and "Thor 2" on November 15, 2013.

When a second B.A.T. surfboard was shaped by Brian Tudor and adorned with the #2 of 8 "Down The Line" print I envisioned it being ridden by a skilled surfer that I could photograph to showcase the 'functional art' aspect of my Surfboard Art Project (SArtP). The pictures could then be used to promote the functionality and aesthetic beauty of… Continue reading
JUNGLE FALL – Legendary by Association. While still in Hawaii, and after finishing Pat Rawson's The Wall, circumstances and good fortune allowed me to complete a second surfboard. This other surfboard would become the twelfth in the collection of the 15 Surfboards by 15 Shapers project. It would be no average surfboard, however. In any field or profession there are… Continue reading
THE WALL – Pat Rawson and Otis Schaper, two musicians in harmony. The 11th surfboard for the 15 Surfboards/15 Shapers project was orchestrated by two musically talented individuals, Pat Rawson, renowned shaper and virtuoso piano player, and Otis Schaper, experienced laminator and lyrical song writer and guitarist. The musical talent of each was unbeknownst to me and surfaced after the… Continue reading
The 15 Surfboards/15 Shapers project recently took me to Hawaii where two more surfboards, #s 11 & 12, were added to the collection. Knowing it should take close to three weeks to complete the boards and that there is idle time while resin cures during the glassing stage, I made plans to shoot personal work during those moments. My shot… Continue reading
In mid-May of 2013 I was contacted by the advertising agency SapientNitro in Miami Beach with a job offer to photograph an advertising campaign for the Florida Tourism Board entitled Visit Florida. The opportunity was fantastic, though the timing was terrible! For nearly a year I planned a photo trip to Indonesia and was set to leave on July 3rd.… Continue reading
A board worth traveling for. And travel I did! 2400 miles of sleep inducing, white knuckle steering, city-side, country-side, bridges and tunnels byways, junk food munching, day and night, rain and heat, music and talk shows of all kind, or not, driving. All this for a 5'6″ custom made Spirare Surfboard. Spirare what!? Spirare, the Latin word meaning 'to breathe',… Continue reading
Here are a series of photographs that I made on two consecutive cold winter days in South Florida. The weather was unusually cold for these parts with north west winds and clear atmospheric conditions. Furthermore short period swells were constantly coming on-shore. The effect of all this was crystal clear water, small waves and off-shore winds that smoothed the surface… Continue reading
It began with wanting to photograph my friend Lauren's beautiful blue eyes. The how and where would come later. My initial thought was to focus only on the eyes using a macro lens. I'm guessing this was because it's an image that has been ingrained in memory from countless similar shots seen in the past. However, I wanted to push… Continue reading

The pilot said that he noted an imbalance between the left and right main fuel tanks during cruise flight. He attempted to correct the imbalance by placing the left fuel selector in the crossfeed position so that both engines would receive fuel from the right main fuel tank. About 15 minutes after the pilot selected the crossfeed position, both engines lost power. When the pilot reset the left and right fuel selectors to the left main and the right auxiliary fuel tanks, respectively, the left engine regained power and the right engine began "surging." The pilot decided not to shut down the right engine and diverted to the nearest suitable airport. During final approach, the right engine lost power completely, and the airspeed decayed until it approached the airplane's minimum control airspeed. When the airplane drifted right of the runway centerline, the pilot reduced power on the left engine in an attempt to maintain control. The airplane impacted an open field near the runway and a postimpact fire ensued. Postaccident examination revealed no airframe or engine anomalies consistent with a preimpact mechanical failure or malfunction. Both fuel selectors were positioned to their respective main fuel tanks. The pilot stated that the airplane was fully fueled before departure. The airplane fuel system was composed of two 37-gallon main fuel tanks and two 31-gallon auxiliary fuel tanks. The pilot stated that he had not used any of the fuel in the auxiliary tanks before the loss of engine power. The pilot's operating handbook noted that the crossfeed system was not to be used to transfer fuel from one tank to another or to balance fuel during flight. The simultaneous loss of engine power while both engines were receiving fuel from one fuel tank, the restoration of power on the left engine after switching fuel tanks, operation at or near the fuel endurance limit for the right main fuel tank, and the lack of anomalies identified during the engine exams are consistent with exhaustion of fuel in the right main tank.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Big, brown eyes look up longingly to their owner. Sgt. Will Lopez, of the Sedona Police Department, reaches down and runs his hands on top of his German shepherd's head.
Larson Newspapers
Big, brown eyes look up longingly to their owner.
Sgt. Will Lopez, of the Sedona Police Department, reaches down and runs his hands on top of his German shepherd's head.
"Patience," the touch tells the dog's head, "we're being honored tonight. You have to be good."
This dynamic duo has worked hard to serve the community together and now their hard work has been rewarded.
On Tuesday, Oct. 9, Lopez was honored as Police Officer of the Year by the Central Arizona Masonic Lodge No. 14. Brook Cunningham, senior grand deacon for the grand lodge of Arizona, who presented Lopez with the reward at a Sedona City Council meeting was enthusiastic about all Lopez has done.
"Sgt. Lopez truly is a public servant for Sedona," Cunningham said. "He's the type of individual the community can look up to."
The Masonic Lodge receives nominees for Police Officer of the Year from other officers and supervisors within the department. The selection process is tough, Cunningham said. "We'd love to give to everyone of them."
The lodge has been honoring local police officers and firefighters since Sept. 11, 2001.
"When you get in trouble, who do you call?" Cunningham asked, not waiting for a reply, "You always call them first. We would like to honor unsung heroes of our community. We feel strongly about honoring these individuals."
Although the competition may have been tough, it's clear why Lopez was selected. Lopez started the K-9 unit for the SPD.
After getting out of the Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking workforce, where he worked in undercover narcotics from 1998 to 2001, Lopez went through training with his dog, Joker, which included narcotics training, apprehension, article searches and obedience.
Once the program was in full-swing at SPD, Lopez offered it to all agencies in the Verde Valley.
It was this generosity with his time and commitment to the
K-9 unit that not only caught the attention of others in his department, but also of the Masonic Lodge members that voted for him.
{xtypo_quote_left} "He developed all the training and procedures to make the K-9 program a success," Cunningham said.{/xtypo_quote_left}
Another reason Lopez was selected was for his efforts to go above and beyond the call of duty. Lopez and Joker are known for responding to calls after hours, wherever they are needed, such as searches for drugs, missing people and suspects.
Cunningham pointed out that Lopez and Joker do this on their own.
"He's done this when other people might not," Cunningham said.
Lopez received one of his nominations from Police Chief Joe Vernier.
"I nominated Will [Lopez] because he cared a lot about the community and public safety," Vernier said. "In my view, he's a born leader. The officers look up to him and respect him. And he works diligently and patiently with every employee to help them achieve their best in any career dreams they may have.
"Did he mention he was Latino Police Officer of the Year?" Venier asked.
No, no he didn't — this humbleness may be another reason Lopez' colleagues and supervisor nominated him.
It turns out, this isn't the first time Lopez has been awarded for his efforts toward the community. A few years ago, Lopez was selected by the National Latino Peace Officers Association as Officer of the Year.
"It's a great honor to receive this award," Lopez said of his most-recent honor. "I was absolutely surprised."
Lopez realized he wanted to become a police officer in high school when he became involved in the Police Explorer program, which introduces youth to law enforcement.
"I saw a lot of things and thought it was interesting," Lopez said.
Once an officer for the SPD, Lopez got involved in the community by helping Sgt. Lucas Wilcoxson start the Police Explorer program in the Sedona area with the goal to get youths interested in a career in law enforcement.
Lopez' involvement in starting up the Police Explorer program in Sedona was just one more reason Cunningham listed as to why the Masonic Lodge selected him.
Before entering the council meeting to accept his award, Lopez, with Joker by his side, thanked Vernier for nominating him.
"Well," Vernier said, "you earned it."
