The project is composed of multiple buildings of varying heights, surrounding a central courtyard. Each apartment is roughly 18 sq meters each with a view into the courtyard to induce a calming effect. The heights of the buildings on the street match the surrounding buildings, fitting within the urban context, while the buildings on the interior are lower in height and match the back neighbors. The street facing facade is covered in black slate brick, while the interior is covered in larch planking with folding louvered shutters in front of the windows and balconies.
A central courtyard and bike parking area provides additional space to all of the residents and encourages community and gathering. The courtyard also acts as a green lung for the development and pulls in additional daylighting to each apartment. Materials were chosen for their durability as well as their aesthetics. Each room comes equipped with a bathroom, a small kitchen, sleeping area and desk.
The project attained higher energy performance largely due to the treatment of the envelope, use of solar power for heating and natural ventilation. Not only was reduced energy use a goal, but was a key point in creating a comfort interior environment for the student residents. The concrete structure is insulated with 12 cm of mineral wool, the brick or wood cladding and double glazed windows, allowing the building to retain heat inside during the winter and reject heat during the summer.

I enjoy this fragrance, its a little too musky for me, though every time I sprayed it before I bought it, I loved it, but when I received it, I thought it smelt a whole lot like a bathroom deodorizer. Anyway, I determined to like it, and now think it smells like gummy bears and rich vanilla at other times. It had to grow on me. I don't think its very sensual though. That's just me. It's not something I can't live without.
its definitely a younger girl's fragrance and too potent to wear out, with that being said, it also does not have good sillage or lasting power either though. i think i might be embarrassed to wear this in the office, maybe for more casual get togethers though. it smells like something that would be at a *young* teenagers store.

Great perfume for everyday use. It is definitely a signature smell and people will ask you what smell you have on, because it is so special (in a positieve way). Unfortunately it does not hold very long, but other than that it is amazing. I would definitely recommend it to my friends. In fact, a friend even bought this perfume because she liked it so much.

Fields named SAAC POW
October 9, 2012
Wilmington men's soccer player Drew Fields (Terrace Park, OH/Mariemont) has added to his weekly award haul earning the WC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Player of the Week nod. This coming a day after he was named Ohio Athletic Conference Player of the Week.
Fields netted the laurels after single-handedly helping the men's soccer team post the 3-2 overtime victory over Mount Union Saturday. He scored twice, including the equalizer with one minute remaining, then assisted on the game-winner in the second overtime.
In recognition of his accomplishments, he will receive a T-shirt from SAAC, and his photo and list of accomplishments will be displayed in the lobby of Hermann Court.
The Student Athlete Advisory Committee is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight about the student-athlete experience. SAAC protects student-athlete interests and provides a positive image of student-athletes.

A disconsolate Mark Webber was left to lament Red Bull's latest alternator failure, which put him out of the United States GP.
Running in third place, Webber suddenly dropped two seconds a lap to the front-runners and reported a KERS issue with his RB8.
However, one lap was forced to park his Red Bull with a suspected alternator failure.
It was the Aussie's first mechanical failure in 59 races.
"It's a suspected alternator, we had very low battery pressure," he said.
"We lost KERS and sync on the gearbox, and ultimately stopped. I knew the car was a bit sore.
"We had a good start to the race and a good fight with Lewis in the first few laps.
"Then we had a lot of issues to manage, and stopped in the braking zone in Turn 12."
Webber's DNF was not the first caused by a Renault alternator for Red Bull this season as his team-mate Sebastian Vettel suffered failures at Valencia and Monza.
"It makes for some more nerves on other side with Seb," Webber conceded as he was forced to watch from the sidelines as his team-mate Vettel led the race.
"We put the best car on the track that we thought would get home, but there's a long way to the finish."

Greetings from Illinois Institute of Technology. Main Campus is once again bustling with new and returning students, bringing with them the excitement unique to this time of year. We continue to move forward in the public phase of our institution's six-year fundraising effort, Fueling Innovation: The Campaign for IIT. The campaign captures the university's unique promise to produce innovative graduates through IIT's distinctive education program as well as to address urgent global challenges through innovative research and scholarship.
This spring, we received a $10 million challenge grant to help build a state-of-the-art innovation center. Named the Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship, the 100,000-square-foot building will offer students and faculty a centralized facility to promote innovation, transition novel ideas into products and processes, and serve as a hub for various entrepreneurship initiatives. It will also be the new home for our hallmark Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program, the Idea Shop, the Leadership Academy, the Knapp Entrepreneurship Academy, and IIT's acclaimed Institute of Design.
As one of the Midwest's top Ph.D.-granting universities, IIT is committed to the advancement of the human condition through quality teaching and research. Through our schools of engineering, science, design, architecture, law, business, human sciences, and applied technology, we are educating students to excel in a complex global society. Our faculty research initiatives are addressing some of the most compelling topics of our time, from hybrid vehicles and biomedicine to personal privacy and high-speed financial trading.
The university is committed to developing and fostering a climate of inclusiveness, with a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. I have appointed a committee, representative of every part of the university, to review our commitment to diversity and develop implementation plans for the goals for diversity set forth in our strategic plan. More information will be coming from the committee as it progresses in its work.
I encourage you to explore this website to learn more about the people—students, faculty, and staff—that make Illinois Tech distinct, different, and driven to excel.

Hi All!
Happy 2012!!!
Recently I got up a new hobby of making clay animations!
How they are made is truly simple (well most of the time);
first all you have to do is set the scene.
second, Create clay model
third, snap a picture then move the object as little or as much as you like,
four, Edit The Pictures into the program that you use ( i use windows movie maker) and set the frame rate!
here are some of my animations i made using this.
Animation Test (my first animation is a bit wonky)
The Adventures of Clayman Pt:1 (it shows the frame rate in FPS (frames per second))
Hope You enjoyed my videos!

When my club HOST an event I consider us just that. The attendees are our guests and shouldn't have to work. When I go to another club's test it's their turn to host. Although I've thrown birds and such at other clubs events mainly because I like to help out and sometimes it's been neccesary to finish the test when all the help leaves.
We all do what we have to do to enjoy our events but I certainly don't EXPECT someone to help us but when they do it's greatly appreciated.
I use pro's to train all my "Goldens" and "I" run the hunt tests with them, not the pro's. I love running hunt tests, the pro's we meet are always helpful, and the people and dogs at the tests are great! I do this primarily because I love to hunt birds. Working with trainers and then using hunt tests to reinforce my handling and my dogs performance is a wonderful thing. I have never taken a dog beyond 'started' or 'JR' although all of my dogs handle well on blinds in actual hunting situations (I can get them to the bird). Until this year I worked, now I am retired....my new pup, will get added pro training, more work at home and I hope to take her all the way on hunt tests...As far as helping at the hunt tests, I would prefer to pay a separate fee, but I have jumped in and helped carry birds, clean up, after events, etc.
John C aka jacduck
Do you really want to increase entries at the Junior Hunt Test level? Simply put a limit on entries and everyone will flock to JR and fight over how to get in and what to change to make it fair for all !!!!!
"Duck hunter's minds are like concrete. All mixed up and permanently set."
The more dogs the merrier,,,this insures we can pay for everything. The more dogs that enter means you can hire more help so you don't walk around all weekend mumbling under your breath.
We usually have small entries and we manage to come out in the black and we hire help. When I hear about some of these big entry clubs loosing money because they have to hire help,,, then I would take a closer look at your booze bill and party fund. Or find some one who can spend the money more wisely.
John 5 :30
I can of my own self do nothing ,as I hear , I judge,,and my judgement is just, because I seek not my own will,,but the will of the father which hath sent me
John 7:16 -- Jesus answered them and said my doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
mark 16:9 -- So then after the lord had spoken unto them,he was received up in heaven, and sat on the right hand of God
I Tim. 2:5 --For there is one God and one mediator between God and man ,, the man Christ Jesus
What percentage of Pro-run hunt test dogs, have the owner there watching his or her dog run? I would think that would be a pretty low number. On a normal weekend hunt test, how many out of State owner-handlers work the test versus Club members? Again, I would think a pretty low number. That's just the way it is with any hunt test or field trial, local club members put on the hunt test so that they can run their dogs and hopefully enough out of the area owners, can enter dogs and offset cost.
It sounds like things have changed a lot since I was running hunt test, back then the only reason I ever let a Pro run my dog was because he could travel to distant hunt that I couldn't due to work. I would think that most of the dogs on a Pro's truck are in the same boat. Hard to be upset with that isn't it? Are the entries so low you can't afford to hire bird throwers? I don't know if it's comparable, but when our club runs a field trial, we hire kids to man the gun stations, have the usual volunteer gunners for the live flyer and rely on club members for marshaling, traffic and the rest. We usually do a little more than break even. I just found out our Club has lost money every hunt test and is cancelling the hunt test this year, that tells me that we need more dogs entered and that a Pro with 12-16 dogs on his truck could save the day.

You're trying to hit a moving target, which changes with both your gear and the content you're trying to solo. You need enough mitigation/avoidance that your self-healing can keep up with your dmg, enough self-healing to keep up with your dmg, and enough dps to beat enrage timers.
On fights with a long enrage timer you can trade dmg for more self-healing or mitigation/avoidance. On fights with shorter rage timers, you have to make the opposite tradeoff.
Check out Raegwyn, currently the most well-known solo'ing DK. He just fraps'd himself soloing Sarth 10, along with his spec for that fight.

Fernando Alonso says Ferrari's two tough near-misses in the past three seasons would motivate the team to seek their first title in six years.
Alonso said he felt "privileged" to have come so close last year, when he missed out on his third World title by just three points, and in 2010, when he was only four points back in the standings.
In both instances Alonso, who won in 2005 and 2006 with Renault, was shaded by Red Bull ace Sebastian Vettel, who is now seeking his fourth Championship in a row starting with Sunday's season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
But the Spaniard said it would all be worthwhile if he could become Ferrari's first drivers Champion since Kimi Raikkonen in 2007, a triumph which followed Michael Schumacher's golden run from 2000-2004.
"Not many people have the opportunity to be on the podium in Formula One, even less people have the opportunity to win races and very few people have the chance to fight for the world championship," Alonso said on the eve of the Australian GP.
"So I feel lucky and privileged to have those opportunities.
"Sure, we lost two times in the last three years in the last race and we want again to have the possibilities to fight for the World Championship. Hopefully this year we can change the final result.
"But it is the normal thing for the sport and this will give me and the team extra motivation to really have one happy result at the end of it."

What Makes Us Secure?
We've recently had an interesting debate over whether we should change the name of "Common Security Clubs." These are small groups that build resilience by learning together, supporting one another through mutual aid, and taking social action together.
We even had a naming survey to ask people who've been involved in these local support groups what they recommend. The results were interesting.
One thing is certain: the word "security" has been co-opted by nefarious forces.
Overwhelmingly, respondents to our survey pointed out that this word conjures up images that are totally contrary to our work—security cameras, locked doors, repression, paranoia, even violence and weapons.
The question of what makes us secure in an increasingly insecure world is on many people's minds. A Washington Post editorial by environmental activist Mike Tidwell described his personal decision to brace for the future with some new, surprising steps:
Today, underneath [my house's] solar panels, there's a new set of deadbolt locks on all my doors. There's a new Honda GX390 portable power generator in my garage, ready to provide backup electricity ... I even took my first-ever lesson in firearms use.
Many readers challenged Tidwell's conclusions that a generator and a shotgun are really what's necessary. Here at the network supporting Common Security Clubs, we thought about that other word in our name, "common." "Common security" is quite different from the "you're on your own" (yo-yo) mentality that dominates most of our discourse, especially when it comes to security.
Although Mike Tidwell doesn't mention it, there may no longer be such a thing as individual security. For most of us, real security is becoming more and more a matter of being tied to a thriving community.
In fact, a few survey respondents appreciated our attempt to re-appropriate this term. "I really like putting security in the name as a move to redefine security as a shared community effort," said one respondent. Another added: "The top-of-mind answer to the question 'What makes you feel secure?' needs to change, from global military and economic dominance to vibrant communities, living wage jobs that are stable over the long run, and freedom to make informed decisions."
It's a big job to change the meaning of a word like 'security,' and an even bigger one to create new language to fill this gap. But this lack of language is a problem movements have faced before.
"One of the analogies that we discussed briefly at our circle's first meeting was that of the early 'consciousness raising' groups in the 1970's women's movement," says Debbie Mytels, a Common Security Circle facilitator in California. "We talked about 'the problem that has no name'—i.e., women's feelings of disempowerment and frustration, and how that is similar to today's unnamed feelings of economic and civic disempowerment."
Rocky Times Ahead: Are You Ready?
This isn't a future you can, or should, face alone. How to make sure you don't have to.
When women started meeting in small groups to talk about their common experiences, they ended up creating and re-appropriating words for their experiences. Debbie notes, "Out of the consciousness raising groups came the 'click' experience (an 'Ah, I get it!' moment) and phrases such as sexism and male chauvinism."
The debate about security—both the word and the concept—is far from over. We're conducting a second round of our naming survey, this time whittled down to only a few options, including Resiliency Circles, Connection Circles, Mutual Aid Circles, and Economic Security Circles.
We welcome your thoughts—click here to take the survey and here to participate in our online conversation.
One thing that's certain is that our current economy does not promote real, widespread security. Even worse, the future is likely to undermine the sources of security that are left. We need to create a new economy where a security that has nothing to do with bunkers, paranoia, or shotguns is widely shared.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- The Capital City Mission served up to almost 2,000 Thanksgiving meals on Thursday. Turkey, stuffing, vegetables and more were on the menu. But there were more benefits for those who attended.
More than a dozen medical students, residents and faculty from Albany Med were also at the Mission. They gave out flu shots and other health related information.
"And I want to thank the community. This is made possible by the generosity of the greater Capital Region. Our mayor is here today, Jerry Jennings has been a wonderful help to us as well, so I just want to thank god for all of the people helping," said Perry Jones.
Those unable to donate their time were able to pitch in during the days leading up to the dinner. A donation of just $2.05 cents paid for one hot meal.

The Worst of the Madness
Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin
Stalin's Genocides
Once, in an attempt to explain the history of his country to outsiders, the Polish poet Czesław Miłosz described the impact of war, occupation, and the Holocaust on ordinary morality. Mass violence, he explained, could shatter a man's sense of natural justice. In normal times,
had he stumbled upon a corpse on the street, he would have called the police. A crowd would have gathered, and much talk and comment would have ensued. Now he knows he must avoid the dark body lying in the gutter, and refrain from asking unnecessary questions….
Murder became ordinary during wartime, wrote Miłosz, and was even regarded as legitimate if it was carried out on behalf of the resistance. In the name of patriotism, young boys from law-abiding, middle-class families became hardened criminals, thugs for whom "the killing of a man presents no great moral problem." Theft became ordinary too, as did falsehood and fabrication. People learned to sleep through sounds that would once have roused the whole neighborhood: the rattle of machine-gun fire, the cries of men in agony, the cursing of the policeman dragging the neighbors away.
For all of these reasons, Miłosz explained, "the man of the East cannot take Americans [or other Westerners] seriously." Because they hadn't undergone such experiences, they couldn't seem to fathom what they meant, and couldn't seem to imagine how they had happened either. "Their resultant lack of imagination," he concluded, "is appalling."1
But Miłosz's bitter analysis did not go far enough. Almost sixty years after the poet wrote those words, it is no longer enough to say that we Westerners lack imagination. Timothy Snyder, a Yale historian whose past work has ranged from Habsburg Vienna to Stalinist Kiev, takes the point one step further. In Bloodlands, a brave and original history of mass killing in the twentieth century, he argues that we still lack any real knowledge of what happened in the eastern half of Europe in the twentieth century. And he is right: if we are American, we think "the war" was something that started with Pearl Harbor in 1941 and ended with the atomic bomb in 1945. If we are British, we remember the Blitz of 1940 (and indeed are commemorating it energetically this year) and the liberation of Belsen. If we are French, we remember Vichy and the Resistance. If we are Dutch we think of Anne Frank. Even if we are German we know only a part of the story.
Snyder's ambition is to persuade the West—and the rest of the world—to see the war in a broader perspective. He does so by disputing popular assumptions about victims, death tolls, and killing methods—of which more in a moment—but above all about dates and geography. The title of this book, Bloodlands, is not a metaphor. Snyder's "bloodlands," which others have called "borderlands," run from Poznan in the West to Smolensk in the East, encompassing modern Poland, the Baltic states, Ukraine, Belarus, and the edge of western Russia (see map on page 10). This is the region that experienced not one but two—and sometimes three—wartime occupations. This is also the region that suffered the most casualties and endured the worst physical destruction.
More to the point, this is the region that experienced the worst of both Stalin's and Hitler's ideological madness. During the 1930s, 1940s, and early 1950s, the lethal armies and vicious secret policemen of two totalitarian states marched back and forth across these territories, each time bringing about profound ethnic and political changes. In this period, the city of Lwów was occupied twice by the Red Army and once by the Wehrmacht. After the war ended it was called L'viv, not Lwów, it was no longer in eastern Poland but in western Ukraine, and its Polish and Jewish pre-war population had been murdered or deported and replaced by ethnic Ukrainians from the surrounding countryside. In this same period, the Ukrainian city of Odessa was occupied first by the Romanian army and then by the Wehrmacht before being reoccupied by the Soviet Union. Each time power changed hands there were battles and sieges, and each time an army retreated from the city it blew up the harbor or massacred Jews. Similar stories can be told about almost any place in the region.
This region was also the site of most of the politically motivated killing in Europe—killing that began not in 1939 with the invasion of Poland, but in 1933, with the famine in Ukraine. Between 1933 and 1945, fourteen million people died there, not in combat but because someone made a deliberate decision to murder them. These deaths took place in the bloodlands, and not accidentally so: "Hitler and Stalin rose to power in Berlin and Moscow," writes Snyder, "but their visions of transformation concerned above all the lands between."
Beginning in the 1930s, Stalin conducted his first utopian agricultural experiment in Ukraine, where he collectivized the land and conducted a "war" for grain with the kulaks, the "wealthy" peasants (whose wealth sometimes consisted of a single cow). His campaign rapidly evolved into a war against Ukrainian peasant culture itself, culminating in a mass famine in 1933. In that same year, Hitler came to power and began dreaming of creating Lebensraum, living space, for German colonists in Poland and Ukraine, a project that could only be realized by eliminating the people who lived there.2 In 1941, the Nazis also devised the Hunger Plan, a scheme to feed German soldiers and civilians by starving Polish and Soviet citizens. Once again, the Nazis decided, the produce of Ukraine's collective farms would be confiscated and redistributed: "Socialism in one country would be supplanted by socialism for the German race."
Not accidentally, the fourteen million victims of these ethnic and political schemes were mostly not Russians or Germans, but the peoples who inhabited the lands in between. Stalin and Hitler shared a contempt for the very notions of Polish, Ukrainian, and Baltic independence, and jointly strove to eliminate the elites of those countries. Following their invasion of western Poland in 1939, the Germans arrested and murdered Polish professors, priests, intellectuals, and politicians. Following their invasion of eastern Poland in 1939, the Soviet secret police arrested and murdered Polish professors, priests, intellectuals, and politicians. A few months later, Stalin ordered the murder of some 20,000 Polish officers at Katyn and in other forests nearby as well.
Stalin and Hitler also shared a hatred for the Jews who had long flourished in this region, and who were far more numerous there than in Germany or anywhere else in Western Europe. Snyder points out that Jews were fewer than one percent of the German population when Hitler came to power in 1933, and many did manage to flee. Hitler's vision of a "Jew-free" Europe could thus only be realized when the Wehrmacht invaded the bloodlands, which is where most of the Jews of Europe actually lived. Of the 5.4 million Jews who died in the Holocaust, four million were from the bloodlands. The vast majority of the rest—including the 165,000 German Jews who did not escape—were taken to the bloodlands to be murdered. After the war, Stalin became paranoid about those Soviet Jews who remained, in part because they wanted to perpetuate the memory of the Holocaust. At the end of his life he purged and arrested many thousands of them, though he died too soon to carry out another mass murder.
Above all, this was the region where Nazism and Soviet communism clashed. Although they had signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact in 1939, agreeing to divide the bloodlands between them, Stalin and Hitler also came to hate each other. This hatred proved fatal to both German and Soviet soldiers who had the bad luck to become prisoners of war. Both dictators treated captured enemies with deadly utilitarianism. For the Germans, Soviet POWs were expendable: they consumed calories needed by others and, unlike Western POWs, were considered to be subhuman. And so they were deliberately starved to death in hideous "camps" in Poland, Russia, and Belarus that were not camps but death zones. Penned behind barbed wire, often in open fields without food, medicine, shelter, or bedding, they died in extraordinary numbers and with great rapidity. On any given day in the autumn of 1941, as many Soviet POWs died as did British and American POWs during the entire war. In total more than three million perished, mostly within a period of a few months.
In essence the Soviet attitude toward German POWs was no different. When, following the Battle of Stalingrad, the Red Army suddenly found itself with 90,000 prisoners, it also put them in open fields without any food or shelter. Over the next few months, at least half a million German and Axis soldiers would die in Soviet captivity. But as the Red Army began to win the war, it tried harder to keep captives alive, the better to deploy them as forced laborers. According to Soviet statistics, 2.3 million German soldiers and about a million of their allies (from Romania, Italy, Hungary, and Austria, but also France and Holland) eventually wound up in the labor camps of the Gulag, along with some 600,000 Japanese whose fate has been almost forgotten in their native land.3
Some were released after the war and others were released in the 1950s. There wasn't necessarily any political logic to these decisions. At one point in 1947, at the height of the postwar famine, the NKVD unexpectedly released several hundred thousand war prisoners. There was no political explanation: the Soviet leadership simply hadn't enough food to keep them all alive. And in the postwar world there were pressures—most of all from the USSR's new East German client state—to keep them alive. The Nazis had operated without such constraints.
Though some of the anecdotes and statistics may be surprising to those who don't know this part of the world, scholars will find nothing in Bloodlands that is startlingly new. Historians of the region certainly know that three million Soviet soldiers starved to death in Nazi camps, that most of the Holocaust took place in the East, and that Hitler's plans for Ukraine were no different from Stalin's. Snyder's original contribution is to treat all of these episodes—the Ukrainian famine, the Holocaust, Stalin's mass executions, the planned starvation of Soviet POWs, postwar ethnic cleansing—as different facets of the same phenomenon. Instead of studying Nazi atrocities or Soviet atrocities separately, as many others have done, he looks at them together. Yet Snyder does not exactly compare the two systems either. His intention, rather, is to show that the two systems committed the same kinds of crimes at the same times and in the same places, that they aided and abetted one another, and above all that their interaction with one another led to more mass killing than either might have carried out alone.

18th C. Amethyst & Enamel Button Earrings
New Lower Price! Down from $2550! One aspect of the history of jewelry that we at The Three Graces find particularly alluring is the "recycling" or "reappropriation" of items of adornment. Transmuting one object to another can be seen as a form of alchemy by a jeweler.
Here we have a classic example of the button, either for cuff or for the bodice transformed in a pair of attention grabbing earrings. The button itself is of high carat 22k yellow gold. A three dimensional dome shape immediately offers visual interest.
Centered is a faceted round amethyst of a passionate pale hue set in an elongated rub over collet of gold. Radiating out is a multi pointed star configuration with a white enamel ground punctuated with black dots. This particular combination was most prevalent in the 1600s especially with the use of tiny dots. Edges of the star are outline in gold and stand against a black enamel backdrop. A smooth perimeter encloses a band of work ruffled gold. Later date 9k yellow gold ear wires have been added.
Date: Early to mid 18th century; possibly late 17th century.
Measurements: 13/16 of an inch (2.0 cm) including ear wire by 9/16 of an inch (1.4 cm) in diameter; and 3/8 of an inch (1.0 cm) in depth. Weight of 4.2 grams (2.7 dwt) for the pair.
Condition: Very good for their age; both amethysts chipped and have surface wear; one pushed in just slightly; on both earrings black enamel has been restored in a number of areas; later ear wires; backs have dimples and center is slightly imperfect (see photographs).

Feb 28 - Another Nebraska ethanol plant is shutting down, according to an article by Brownfield. That means seven of the states 24 plants have now been idled.
The article states that Ag Processing Inc. recently announced it will idle its 55 million gallon-a-year plant in Hastings due to high corn prices and lower ethanol prices. The company gave no indication how long the shutdown may last, saying it will continue to evaluate market conditions.
Nebraska Ethanol Board administrator Todd Sneller says its possible some of the plants that have been idled across the U.S. wont be reopened, the article states. He says the industrys production capacity is simply greater than the current demand.

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene
BloggersPeter Gianotti Erica Marcus Joan Reminick Marjorie Robins
Long Island restaurant reviews: This week's picks
In this week's Newsday, Peter Gianotti reviews the latest incarnation of Jedediah Hawkins Inn in Jamesport. The restaurant opened seven years ago and in that time has had almost as many executive chefs. Lia Fallon, formerly of Amarelle in Wading River, "is even better here, brightening spring and summer with food of the moment and the East End." Her "fare lets you know the time of year as readily as the calendar, the location as clearly as a GPS" and earns a rare 3½ stars.
Joan Reminick reviews Gyrolicious. The Jericho outpost of the East Meadow original is the rare Greek restaurant that makes its own gyro meat.
