So I thought about it for a while. I didn't want to waste the setting triangles I'd already cut out because many of them came from some precious bits of fabric. So out came the seam ripper.
I decided to try putting one color (even though the fabrics were different) setting triangles around each block. That alone made a big difference. But the quilt was still too busy. There was no place for the eye to rest. Adding the sashing made the biggest difference. I chose a really pale blue dot as the sashing. I like that it's neutral and spaces out the color, but because there's a subtle pattern, it gives that 'white' space some texture. Then I added the red corner stones. They were the perfect punch of color to keep things lively. I think I squealed when it came together. (And I'm not normally a squeal-y person.) A HUGE improvement.
So lessons to share:
- Don't be afraid to pull out the seam ripper. It was a pain in the moment (a lot of times I'm too lazy) but I'm so glad I did. The outcome is much improved.
- Neutral sashing can really tone down and unify a lot of busy prints and colors.

Here a picture from Duquette's house in LA, "Dawnridge".
The "Air" window inspired as much of Duquette's decorations were, by the East.
With Duquette it's hard to know what to look at first.
His love for highly layered surfaces were inspired by global cultures and incorporated spectacular antiques. The multi-faux finishes reflect Duquette's love of exotic over-the-top decorating.

The Parkhill location is currently an open-air amphitheater in Bratislava, Slovakia near the city centre and an urban forest. The development will be located on a steep slope, which will help to discourage heavy traffic. The southern part of the site has a small park that will remain as public green space. The hill has nice views of the city and is uniquely located to enjoy a bit of nature as well as a the urban life.
Nice Architects' plan calls for a series of dense buildings with underground parking on the perimeter of the site. The project consists of 60,000 square meters (645,835 square feet) of new development that will house 350 apartments as well as administrative spaces, a hotel, and other public facilities. The proposal balances the need for dense housing and high-quality public spaces. Renderings of the project indicate that it will include green roofs, courtyards, gardens and vertical gardens.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - When the City of Grand Junction's Riverfront Trail Host program kicked off 15 years ago, it made sense from a law-enforcement standpoint to have a volunteer group patrolling the trail.
"It was in the spirit of community policing," Paula Anderson said.
Anderson, a former City employee and one of the first organizers of the program, said volunteer hosts back then were recruited to fulfill a variety of needs for trail users.
Their presence is meant to "increase the comfort of users," Anderson said, and to be a tool for crime prevention.
"A lot of people out there were using (the Riverfront Trail System)," she said, "and the population was growing."
Volunteers were out there building relationships on the trails, too, she added.
"That's as true today as it was back then."
Originally a Grand Junction Police Department program, the Riverfront Trail Host program is now run by the City's Department of Parks and Recreation. Yet, its mission is the same; to act as a preventative, feel-good community service for trail users in the valley.
Volunteer trail hosts are able to answer a variety of questions, like: "How long is the trail?" or "What's that bird called?" And they are also armed with a whistle, a cell phone and basic first-aid knowledge.
According to City of GJ Parks and Recreation program coordinator Lorie Gregor, volunteers must be able to donate at least two hours a week to trail supervision.
A yellow vest identifies a volunteer as a trail host, Gregor noted, "and anyone can see it from a great distance."
"They can help trail users in whatever fashion needed," she said --a flat-tire on a bicycle or a Band-Aid to a scraped knee. And they can call 911 or non-emergency dispatch should a problem arise.
Longtime trail host Bill Price said he's personally never seen a true emergency on the trails during his patrol, but being out there is nonetheless important.
"I have been told, particularly by women, that they appreciate someone being out there," Price said, who noted a transient problem around the river. "Having a presence there with a cell phone is a good feeling for them."
Price added that most of his contact with the public, besides "Hi, how are you doing?," are conversations about leashing dogs.
"People love to take dogs on the trail," he said, "and it is a council and city ordinance that dogs be leashed. Many people refuse to do that, and I have lots of discussions with folks about that."
Price noted that many people take the leash laws seriously, too.
"Just like anything else, there's a good and a bad," he said.
Gregor additionally said that trail hosts work with the Department of Wildlife should they see "exotic animals dumped on the trail or injured animals."
Plus, volunteers are "the eyes and ears for trail damage," she said. "It helps the City budget for trail maintenance."
Volunteers either bike or walk during their scheduled patrol times. And, according to Price, his time out on the trail is good for him as well.
"I exercise - biking and walking - and I try to stay busy no matter what," he said.
Though trail host positions are unpaid, there is a formalized interview process which includes a background check.
"You can't just sign up," Anderson said. "There's a lot of training that goes into it. It's a long-term commitment."
Anyone can apply and there's no age requirement for volunteers, Gregor added, though trail hosts must be able to work every week to patrol their designated area.
Volunteers must also attend monthly meetings March through September, and the gatherings are meant to be both educational and fun for the group.
"There are trail hosts that have been involved for decades," Gregor said. "They're very dedicated."
Currently, Gregor said the trail host program is made up of 24 regular volunteers, though she'd love to have 50 or more.
"These are like-minded people with a passion for life and the outdoors," Gregor said. "They like physical activity and it's an opportunity to come together and do something awesome for the community."
Interested folks should contact Gregor at the City of Grand Junction's Parks and Recreation Department at 970-254-3876.

The Semantic Web And Data Privacy
Happy Data Privacy Day!
The semantic web community has done its share of thinking on the data privacy topic, as evidenced by events such as Privacy Online 2013 at the International Semantic Web Conference in Australia. Recognizing the impact of semantic technologies on privacy, the workshop aimed to focus on raising awareness that the technologies the semweb community is working on have global societal consequences as well as to raise the awareness of interconnections between the different communities that are involved in Web privacy and security.
If you haven't had a chance to have a look before, today's the perfect day to check out the papers that were accepted for that event, which you can access here.

Choosing the right medical supplies starts with properly outfitting your bathroom and home and car emergency kit with first aids basics, then supplementing with products to manage any specific health needs. Too often, essentials aren't replaced after being used up, and a minor cut or burn causes a panic because simple home medical supplies aren't available. Stocking up on medical supplies online means you're prepared for accidents and minor illnesses as well as better health management. If you are a caregiver, it is especially important to check on medical supplies in your loved one's home and to properly outfit them if they downsize to a new home or senior residence.
Medical supplies also include devices that allow you to better manage specific medical conditions at home. Once you have buying guidelines from your medical team, you can choose the right home medical supplies online to be sure you have all recommended items:

Craig Heist, wtop.com
VIERA, Fla. The Nationals granted right-handed pitcher Chris Young his unconditional release Tuesday making him a free agent. The move comes a day after Young filed paperwork to opt out of him Minor League deal.
Young made his fourth start of the spring Monday night against the Astros in Kissimmee, giving up one unearned run. Young gave up a total of four runs in 16 innings this spring and said he couldn't have been treated better by the Nationals.
Other teams have shown interest, Young says. He was asked if he's going to a winning team is important to him.
"Winning is important and that's why this place appeals to me," Young said.
"This is a winning baseball environment. It's a bunch of winners in this clubhouse. The coaching staff, the front office, the ownership, this organization is just great and being in this environment, you get a little taste of it, you see how fun it is, and you want to be a part of it," he said.
Young will meet with his agent, John Fetterolf Tuesday to see what his options are and while being with the Nationals appeals to him, he has to be realistic.
"You can't have everything," Young said.
"You just have to evaluate all the circumstances and see what makes sense, what's best for my family and my career and we'll make that decision when we have all the information."
Young is free to talk with any team he wants to including the Nationals and he would not rule out a return.
"In the right circumstances, yes," he said.
With a rotation that is all set, if he were to return to the Nats, being a long man out of the bullpen could be considered, but Young said at this point, that hasn't been discussed.
"I have not considered it to this point. I don't think that's something the team has shown interest in and I don't have much experience doing it so I don't really think that's a consideration but that could change. But, as of now, I don't think that's accurate," he said.
With the move, the Nationals roster is at 30.

This encounter has had a major nerf. We have gone from wiping several times to get the the faction champs down, to one
shotting it every week, sometimes without even a single death. Thanks blizz, I realize that you don't want something to be impossile, but let's not get stupid. I enjoyed ToC because some of it was actually a bit of a challenge. ToC feels like a joke now.
Switch to heroic?
Last night we did it on normal 25 again, though we had a bit of hard setup. but we no like it to kill the 2 aoe healers / raid healers, i mean by Druid / Priest / Shammy. last night we got a priest and shammy and a pally healer. So we put 1 warrior and 1 pally (me) on interupts on shammy and cc the pally most times. And just burned down the priest, then burn down shammy and then other dps and the interupters (me and warrior) switched to the pally healer to try and interupt most of his heals. this went ok.
But what we ( I ) found out is that having a prot pally or a ret pally using Seal of Justice ( the with the 2 second stun / Seal of Justice - Thottbot: World of Warcraft: ) this gave us so much more interupts that we (me warrior and 2 hunter pets) to burn down the pally to about 60-70% then we changed our tactic and burned down the pally before the remaining dps.
There is no "ctrl" on Fluxx his keyboard... Fluxx is always in control.
What is the Sap time at this fight?
Is like the other CC's (3sec) or its like PvP rules (10sec)?
Course, now we are stuck on faction champs on heroic. They pretty much focus fire and zerg people. It's nuts.
I was wondering. Has anyone heard of the strategy where if you have a hunter or a lock you have them send their pet(s) after the champions pet(s) if there is an opposing hunter or lock in order to tie up one of the healers? I remembering reading something about it, I just don't remember where so that I may follow up on that strategy. From what I recall, one of the champion's healers would devote themselves to keep the pet(s) alive.

Ok, thanks. Thought that may be the case.
It's actually better to have a dot class dot pets, if you really want to be efficient. The benefit of dot classes over a hunter on the pet assignment is that you not only draw occasional heals and hots, you also draw dispels. And since dispels are not interruptable as they are instant, you may draw dispels that were intended for your CC targets instead, as well as buy time.
I highly recommend dotting / putting pets on the pets. The healers seem to heal the target with the lowest total HP that is missing some hp, which is almost always a pet. Here's the healing done by target breakdown for our kill last night:
Thrakgar - healing done by actor:
Thrakgar 56588 100.0 %

Illustration by Peter Burke
The spotted and eastern towhees (formerly combined as the rufous-sided towhee) have a narrow hybrid zone in the central Great Plains. In general, a female spotted differs less from a male than in the eastern. Length 7.5" (19 cm).
Identification Male: plumage like eastern towhee's, except for white tips on median, greater coverts forming 2 white wing bars, variable white spotting on back and scapulars, lack of rectangular white patch at primary bases. Female: similar to male spotted, but with a slate-gray hood (variable by ssp.). Juvenile: like juvenile eastern, but lacks white primary patch.
Geographic Variation Nine subspecies show weak to moderate variation. "Interior" birds have extensive white spotting above, prominent white tail corners; "Pacific" birds dark overall with white back spotting, reduced tail corners (variable). Oregonus is darkest; white increases southward to megalonyx. Within the "Interior" group, arcticus shows the most white spotting and most extensive white corners to the tail; other subspecies have less white, but are similar to one another. Females' head color varies as well.
Similar Species Distinguished from the eastern by white spotting on back, white wing bars, lack of patch at bases of primaries, and call. Hybrids occur in the Great Plains and winter to the south; often combine characteristics of both parents.
Voice Song and calls also show great geographical variation. Call: a descending and raspy mewing in montanus; an upslurred, questioning queee in arcticus and coastal subspecies. All subspecies also give a high, thin lisping szeeueet that drops in middle (poss. flight note), like the eastern's call, and various chips when agitated. Song: "interior" group gives introductory notes, then a trill. "Pacific" birds sing a simple trill of variable speed.
Status and Distribution Common. Some populations are largely resident; others are migratory. The most migratory subspecies is arcticus. Resident south to Guatemala. Subspecies are oregonus (Oregon to British Columbia), falcifer (coastal northwest California), megalonyx (coastal central to southern California), clementae (certain Channel Islands); arcticus (Great Plains), montanus (Rocky Mountains), falcinellus (south-central California to Oregon), curtatus (primarily in Sierra Nevada), and gaigei (resident in mountains of southeastern New Mexico and western Texas). Migration: fall primarily September–October; spring March–early May; earlier in Pacific states than interior. Vagrant: subspecies arcticus is casual to East.
Population Stable in most areas. Clementae extirpated from San Clemente Island, one of California's Channel Islands, due to overgrazing by introduced goats; persists on Santa Catalina and Santa Rosa Islands. Another island subspecies from Guadalupe Island, off Baja California, is extinct.

When I was in London a couple of weeks ago speaking at the Academy of Chocolate conference, I had the great privilege of being the last speaker of the day. This enabled me to pay attention to what everybody else was saying and present a summary of what I heard in the context of my own panel presentation which was billed as, "The Global Future of Chocolate."
After presenting a summation, I urged the audience to consider a number of calls to action. Too often at conferences like this one a great deal of good information is shared but then that information does not get disseminated after the conference is over. We all go our own separate ways and little substantive really occurs.
I presented two calls to action that are related to each other:
1) The fine chocolate industry needs professional certification programs similar to ones that graduate professional sommeliers in wine.
2) The fine chocolate industry needs a $100 bar of chocolate.
If you think about it, if all wine was priced under $20/bottle and the majority of it was mass market and not very well differentiated, there would be no need for sommeliers. The fact that there are $1000 bottles makes $100 bottles seem less extravagant and the $100 bottles make $10-20 bottles seem like very good deals indeed.
More to the point, the actual manufacturing cost difference between the $1000 bottle and the $100 (or $20 bottle) are not as great as the price differences indicate. The price differences are a result of many factors that include wine quality, origin, manufacturer, scarcity, and reviews. What this means in practice is that there is a lot of money in the system that can be used to pay professionals whose job it is to educate people about why it's okay to pay $1000 for a bottle - or $100 for a bottle - when there are lots of much-more-than-adequate $10-20 bottles around.
Getting back to chocolate, most of it is mass market blah that costs $1-3 per bar. Most bars are in the $3-7 range. There is a small handful of bars that cost $10-15, and an even small number of bars that cost $20 or more — at least here in the US. Some of the price differential is related to manufacturing costs - e.g., higher prices for beans in smaller quantities. However, here in the US, the largest factors contributing to high retail prices on the most expensive bars are exchange rates (the US$ is fairly weak right now), the cost of importing, and a relatively high cost of specialty foods distribution here in the US. The Bonnat Porcelana bars that cost $25 here in New York can be purchased for half that price in France.
Because the vast majority of chocolate bars is under $7 at retail, there is no money in the system to pay for professional chocolate sommeliers and professional chocolate critics. There is a small group of people - relatively speaking - who do this, but I don't know a one who can make a decent full-time living being just a chocolate sommelier/critic.
What this means is that there is neither any need for, nor any economic value in, someone pursuing a professional certification because there is no way for anyone to generate a decent return on investment on the time and money invested in earning the certification, in part because the market does not recognize the need for it.
With a $100 chocolate bar (or, ideally, many $100 chocolate bars), the stage is set for the conditions that support professional certifications. The $100 chocolate bar makes the $10-20 bar seem not so unreasonable in price, and, thus "more affordable" for people looking to expand their taste. More importantly, the actual cost of production of a $100 bar is not 10x the cost of a $10 bar, which means that there would be more money in the system for marketing - which supports a host of other activities.
It is also very important that any $100 bar of chocolate be worth that price based on intrinsic factors that people who are knowledgeable about chocolate will agree support that price. The bar doesn't cost $100 because it is decorated with gold leaf or contains every expensive other ingredients: the bar costs $100 because of what went in to its making.
Now, having said that, I don't know exactly what those factors are. However, the idea was also presented at the Origin Chocolate conference in Amsterdam — actually for a €100 bar — just four days after I proposed it by Philipp Kauffmann, one of the founders of the Original Beans chocolate company, independently of my bringing it up in London. So I am not the only one thinking this way.
Having said all that, I am writing this in the hopes of hearing from members: a) what they think of the idea, in general, and b) what they think attributes of a $100 bar might include. Following are some of my ideas for factors that could contribute to a $100 bar:
#1) When I was talking with Mikkel Friis-Holm in London, he mentioned that he had some chocolate that was inedibly tannic when it was made. He put it away for a couple of months and then tasted it again and the level of tannins was much lower than it was when the chocolate was made. Still inedible, but much better. He is going to taste the chocolate again several months from now to see if it's any better. The corollary here is that there is actually very little wine that is made to be drunk in the days or weeks immediately after it's produced. Virtually all wine made is aged to some extent - and a lot of wine is made knowing that it will take years (or decades) before the wine reaches its optimal drinking condition. Virtually all chocolate is made to consume "young." Even when it's got a shelf life rating of two years, it's made to be consumed within weeks of being made. I wonder what would happen if people deliberately started making chocolate that was not going to be fit for consumption for two to five years, or more? And then selling "bar futures" on the chocolate.
#2) I was talking with Sepp Schönbächler of Felchlin in Amsterdam and he mentioned that Felchlin has quantities of the the 65% Grand Cru Maracaibo dating back to 1999. Whenever a new person comes into his department, they are tasked with re-tempering some of that chocolate which is, of course, all Form VI crystals at this point. Sepp notices some differences in taste between the 1999 "vintage" and the current "vintage" -- mainly in the fact that some of the top-note aromatic notes have disappeared. At the same time, the loss of those top notes should allow other flavor notes to come forward. There are wine and spirits industry practices of vintage blending. For example, in rums, solera blending adds small amounts of aged rum to younger rums to up the "tasting age" and make a limited supply of aged rum go much farther. I wonder what the outcome would be of blending a small amount of a much older chocolate with younger versions of the same chocolate (or different chocolates)? You could get the "youth and vitality" of the newer chocolates with some of the depth and complexity of the older chocolates.
#3) What about inoculating a milk chocolate with a specific mold spore after being aged for one year and then age it for one or more years longer?
The fact is, no-one really knows what the outcomes of such practices would be, because the economics of the $7 bar market don't support such lines of experimentation. But I put the challenge out there to chocolate makers around the word, especially to companies with stock of older chocolates, to start exactly that sort of experimentation - to set aside a very short-term outlook and think about practices that could result in a $100 bar of chocolate that everyone agrees is worth it.
I don't think that the $100 bar will appear this year or next, but it could. Five to ten years is a more reasonable time frame, but only if we get started down this path soon.
Your thoughts?

This has some interesting points.. I'm torn on the concept of having to have a $100 bar to achieve it though when wine makers and their chain of professionals attached to them don't have to leverage the $100 bottles to achieve greatness. Also many winemakers are just like chocolate makers, stretched very thin and more passionate than economically feasible unless conglomerated (a few family wine makers here.)
A perfect night at a tasting meal with it's accompaniments don't have that kind of cost per wine unit, $25 here, $30 there, $50 maybe.. but really, $100 across the board doesn't make sense. You'd wedge yourself into such an exclusive category that would be untouchable and reeked with the wrong demographic that it would take decades to equalize in the community.
Your point though, which should have been all that there was--is that there is a potential, a possibility, for a much deeper relationship with chocolate. One that hasn't been given real time or study but might should. If it was, what would be needed to accomplish such a task and that is interesting.
Like all things though, these studies, experiments and all that come with it come with the task of either doing it on your own time, dime, and love then finding a market that can respect that. It will still take decades for that line of thought to enter the market too since it's too much of a commodity. Taking a commodity and raising the epitome is tricky. Coffee has done it on a few occasions with Cup of Excellence winners getting up to $70 a # but it's not a market normal and not normally market accessible.
You've definitely pushed some neat thoughts out though. Kudos on that. ;-)
The wine makers who thrive in the $10-$100 price range benefit directly and indirectly from the $1000 bottles - even though they don't make bottles in the upper price range.
It's not necessary for a chocolate maker to make only super-premium priced products, just as it's not necessary for a wine maker to make only super-premium wines. However, in an evening where you're trying some $20-30 reds, a $100 Bordeaux is an interesting addition. Why not see chocolate that way?
The coffee analogy is interesting, and prices for brewed coffee vary widely and are not necessarily dependent on bean quality. Some of the worst coffee I have ever had has been some of the most expensive ... in hotel dining rooms. That said, I do see a cocoa equivalent of coffee's cup of excellence as a very good thing in its own right.
I am also torn at the thought of paying $100 for a bar of chocolate. The fact that much of the fine chocolate is turned into confections would expand the role of a chocolate critic or sommelier beyond the same in the wine industry. I am so new to understanding chocolate and the industry, I am unsure how someone would make a living as a chocolate sommelier beyond writing about it. Would it help people who are currently doing tasting and/or pairings? There are already professional tasters who are identified by the industrial chocolate industry; would the small artisan makers employ them in some manner?
The idea of aging chocolate in interesting. I find that letting my homemade chocolate sit for a month or two brings the bitterness down a notch.
Love reading your post Clay and your broadcasts on Heritage Radio.
Wine sommeliers are often hired by restaurants to curate their wine offerings and in many cases they are part of the wine service - their salaries are built in to the prices paid for the wines in those settings. There are some occasions where I have been approached to curate a chocolate selection for a restaurant but not one of them has ever resulted in actually getting hired to curate a selection, let alone create a program where a person was involved in service.
Turning the chocolate into confections is one way to raise the price charged for the chocolate, but that price increase is incidental to the other aspects of the confection's creation.
There are professional tasters in the chocolate industry but I don't see the small artisan makers employing them. Like wine makers, the chocolate makers make what they make and independent experts pass judgment that the market values and pays for.
There already was a $100 bar... when NOKA was around. haha
A case of deceptive marketing practices that was ultimately unmasked. However, there is a kernel of truth in the fact that part of any consumer market can be swayed by marketing. The people perceived that the chocolate was worth the price they were paying based on the story (now known to be false being told about it.
Okay, we know that the market, or at least a part of it, will pay that amount of money for chocolate. Now we just have to create one that deserves that price point on its merits.
My reply was a weak attempt at a bit of levity. Without tone of voice I'm not sure it came across that way.
There is a lesson that marketing often trumps quality, though.
Plus another lesson: wealthy yet uninformed people will sometimes buy something based on the assumption "it's expensive so it must be good". (I can think of at least one other chocolate maker that uses this strategy to sell LOTS of chocolate for higher prices than the quality justifies. [Still only in the $9/bar range, though.])
This is a really interesting story with Noka
It reminds me of Chivas Regal, who raised their price above their competitors who sold similar quality, sales rose because of the perceived quality. Or for a chocolate reference, "The best thing about Belgian Chocolate is how good Belgians are at promoting it"
I heard that Noka is no longer in business. Scams don't usually last long.
And who can forget Cocoa Gourmet's "Chocolats Haute Joaillerie" Royal Collection?... for a mere US$1250!
This is along the lines of what I was hoping to elicit. What is interesting is that I see examples in places where this is starting to emerge. Take what Frank Homann is doing on the farm side at Xoco, for example, or what Gianluca Franzoni has been doing in a vertically integrated way from farm to factory ... his 100% Criollo bar is about as close as it comes today, IMO, and the price is extremely reasonable at about €5/25gr.

Rumormill: Saab to enter WRC with new 9-2
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Aug 9th, 2010 at 1:59PM
Saab was quite successful in rally competition once upon a time, and it looks like the automaker's new management hopes to kick-start the brand's revival with a return its motorsports roots. The word out of Europe is that Saab has met with World Rally Championship officials and committed to a 2012 entry into the series with a machine based on its upcoming smaller car. Depending on who you talk to, the new model could be dubbed either the 9-1 or 9-2. The small car project originally began several years ago when Saab was still under the General Motors umbrella with the car expected to... Read More

text: 5 GREAT ONCE YOU'VE TUNED IN.HONESTBAZ | 30/10/2013 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299)Top 100 Music Reviewer This may well take several listens to sink in the way previous releases have,but it's impressive as it grows into something special.I was taken by surprise by the amount of falsettos in this,but it works with Alex's vocals doing their usual thing,naturally sounding more mature.Clearly the band have grown up a lot since their stunning debut,so rather than singing about love's that could be or are,the lyrics come across as someone pensive,almost drowing in memories of loves that were. With songs of hope for reigniting old flames and looking at love from a different angle to what a younger version of themselves would,this may not have the in your face attitude of their early work,but work it does.A band still growing strong with the usual quirky lyrics and some new idea thrown in and riffs to make many a band jealous,this may not be what some fans were hoping for,but it's clearly the same band as previous years,one not afraid to try out new things. Seriously,give it a few listens,if it doesn't appeal at first. After a few listens,i was left respecting their genius.

Dinner in the Dark at RIVUE
Few people would dare take a bite of something before knowing what it is – especially if they can't see it!
In the spirit of Halloween, I decided to take on that dare for a dining experience unlike any I've ever had before. Last night, I attended Dinner in the Dark at RIVUE, where guests came together to enjoy a delicious six-course meal all the while being blindfolded and completely in the dark about the food they were about to eat. The event was inspired by a trend that has become common in Europe and is showing up in big cities, like New York and Los Angeles.
To start off Dinner in the Dark, RIVUE hosted a half-hour cocktail reception that featured two drinks with Crystal Head Vodka – Vampire's Blood and the Black Widow.
After the reception, it was time for lights out and blindfolds on. A group of guests and I headed over to the revolving circle of tables and chairs to sit in dim light and begin the six-course meal.
First up, was the appetizer – a trio of explosions, including truffle, parmesan and romaine filled ravioli. As each of us took a bite from the three spoons laid out on the table, Galt House executive chef Brian Riddle asked us to guess the tastes and smells we were experiencing while our eyes were covered. I'm not a huge food connoisseur so my guesses weren't great, but some people were spot on every time. Once we had a taste of each course, we were allowed to take off our blindfold to see if our guesses were in fact correct.
After the appetizer, came the chilled creamy soup with a butter poached Yukon gold potato on the side. Served inside a coffee cup, I accidentally poked a finger inside the soup while trying to find the dish on the table. For the third course we tried the "dry shot" of oven dried-red bell pepper, nicoise olives, garlic chips, fried basil leaves, capers and toasted croutons. This crunchy medley was far from your average salad.
Then it was time for the main courses: the "Tuna Unroll" – fresh pickled ginger wasabi sorbet, with soy gel – and Sassafras Beef, a root beer glazed flatiron steak with pumpkin spiced aroma.
All the food was delicious and savoring each bite with a blindfold across your eyes only enhanced the touch, smell and taste of each dish. It also brought a ton of amusement to dinner. With all the anticipation and a little apprehension about what we were about to eat and where we could find our utensils without being able to see, we were left with a humorous, challenging, exciting and memorable night.
Finally, for the "Decadent End," Chef Riddle served up a creative concoction of dark chocolate mousse, milk chocolate, hazelnut and – the secret ingredient – pop rocks! With each bite of the dessert, I could hear the pop rocks crackling and felt a funny tingling sensation. I couldn't stop laughing nor could I stop eating the sinfully delicious confection.
With the combination of the elegant atmosphere and the smells, tastes, sounds and feel (but no sight) of the food, Dinner in the Dark was definitely a hit. I'm excited that this big city trend has finally come to Louisville and hope Chef Riddle continues to incorporate it into other dining experiences at RIVUE.

text: 5 PERFECT PRESENTjaytrivedi | 01/02/2012 | See all jaytrivedi's reviews (6)This is an amazing gift. I have purchased 4 so far and will certainly buy more. A perfect gift for those who love to travel. From little children who have been abroad, to adults who have travelled to many places.The map (when scratched) reveals multi-colours for each different part of the world. It also has a neat outline of states and provinces, therefore if you want to be extremely selective in scratching (e.g. just scratch a small part of Brazil, like Rio de Janiero, instead of the whole thing - you can do so). The map, when opened, looks slick and shiny (and has a very 'new' smell). The outer packaging is a tube which is most likely a fraction larger than the map itself. Just a standard poster tube size - but the design on it is amazing .. which makes this fun map one of the greatest, cost effective products that every traveller SHOULD have.

The original station dates to 1851, and it was rebuilt in 1892 after a fire. Sprawling underneath a lengthy skylight, the indoor garden occupies the area that used to house the old train landings prior to Atocha's expansion.
In neatly manicured beds, a variety of plants tower over visitors, some of them reaching the station's domed ceiling. Over 7,000 plants live inside the station, and many of them are palm trees. Around 260 different tropical species adorn the garden, and they thrive amidst the hustle of bustle of the commuters passing through to their next destinations.
Paths take visitors through the expansive garden lined with benches to relax under the palms. One end of the garden is a swamp where Malabar chestnut trees thrives in the murky waters. The other end hosts the popular turtle pond, which attracts tourists and commuters alike. Dozens of turtles of all sizes can be seen swimming around, sunning themselves on rocks, and playing in the water. Large goldfish also live in the pond, and are protected by the station's caretakers. After wandering through the gardens, visitors can experience a birds-eye view while enjoying a light lunch at the station's mezzanine restaurant.
The Atocha Station garden infuses a lively botanical and animal sanctuary in an unused portion of the train station, bringing a taste of wildlife to one's daily commute.

The Giro d'Italia is one of the three most important European grand tours, alongside the Vuelta a Espana and of course the Tour De France.
Starting in Naples on the 4th May, the 96th edition of the Giro d'Italia runs for 2116 miles across the Italian terrain and several mountainous regions. With a mixture of 3 time trials, 11 days of mountain races, flat road cycling and of course the all important course rest days. The Giro d'Italia is a truly grueling endurance race that will test even the most experienced cyclists in the competition. The three top contenders of the Grand Tour are the Italian Vincenzo Nibali, the Canadian Ryder Hesjedal and of course our very own Bradley Wiggins, with many coming up closely behind.
The teams on top form are Team Sky who have a strong line up including Bradley Wiggins, Chris Knees and Danny Pate, the powerful Garmin-Sharp with last year's winner Ryder Hesjadal, David Millar and Andrew Talansky, Omega Pharma-Quick Stop with Mark Cavendish another British powerhouse, and Asana with last year's no.2 Vincenzo Nibali.
The Giro d'Italia looks set to be a competitive feast of grueling challenges, pushing the experienced cyclists and newcomers to the brink. The course is set to push fitness and endurance to the extreme, whilst creating an entertaining event for us mere spectators.
Many cyclists dream of winning this famous hat trick, one in particular is Sir Bradley Wiggins. Having won the Tour de France and also scoring gold in the London Olympics, Bradley Wiggins definitely has his sights on the pink jersey and adding another glorious trophy to his collection.
For the first time in 10 years the Giro d'Italia will start with a road stage, meaning the sprinters have the advantage for obtaining the pink jersey. Stage 1 takes place in Naples this year, a city that has only seen the Giro d'Italia on a few occasions.
Show your love for the race in our specialist Giro d'Italia Jersey.

Violent night: 3 dead, at least 16 wounded in shootings across city
BY MICHAEL LANSU AND BRIAN SLODYSKO Staff Reporters April 30, 2013 8:35PM

Updated: June 2, 2013 6:43AM
Three men were killed and at least 16 others wounded during a violent nine-hour spree of shootings across the city that began late Tuesday afternoon.
The spike in violence occurred as temperatures climbed into the 80s and the city basked in the warmest weather yet this year. It also coincided with an announcement by police that the city's troubling murder statistics were down 42 percent when compared to the same period of time last year.
Just after midnight Wednesday, the month of May rang in with gunfire when a 27-year-old man was mortally wounded in the South Shore neighborhood.
Darrin Rodgers, of the 6800 block of South Cornell Avenue, was shot in the chest on his own block about 12:10 a.m., authorities said.
Rodgers was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in grave condition, but died shortly thereafter, police said. His death was the first homicide in the month of May, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
About an hour later, a south suburban Riverdale man was found shot to death in a West Side alleyway.
The body of 23-year-old Pierre Howelett was found riddled with gunshot wounds to his face and body in an alley near the 1900 block of South Drake Avenue about 1:20 a.m., authorities said.
Earlier, one man was killed and two others were wounded during a gang-related shooting outside the University of Illinois at Chicago police station Tuesday night, authorities said.
The three men were near South Morgan and West Maxwell streets, in a parking lot across from the station, when a gunman approached and opened fire about 10:40 p.m., authorities said.
Tytrell Jackson, 19, was killed by a bullet that struck him in the armpit, authorities said. Jackson, a known gang member, was pronounced dead at 11:13 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
The other two men – ages 19 and 21 – suffered non life-threatening injuries after they were both shot in the thigh, police said.
The gunman fled west after the shooting and was not taken into police custody.
At least 14 others were wounded in shootings across the city since 4:30 p.m. Tuesday:
-- About 11:50 p.m. Tuesday a 16-year-old boy was shot in the leg in the 100 block of West 68th Street in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood, police said. The boy was outside when shots were fired from the back of a dark-colored vehicle passing on the street, police said. The shooting was believed to be gang-related.
-- A man in his 20s was shot in the 800 block of West 51st Street About 11:45 p.m., police said. Further details were not available.
-- About 10:30 p.m. a bullet grazed a 24-year-old woman's shoulder on the Near North Side, police said.
-- A 30-year-old man was critically injured in a shooting in the 5500 block of South Union Avenue at an unknown time, according to the fire department. The shooting could not be confirmed by police.
-- About 8:15 p.m., a 24-year-old man was shot twice in the 5500 block of South King Drive, police said.
-- About 7:30 p.m., a 16-year-old girl was shot in the arm in the 700 block of East Oakwood Avenue, police said.
-- In Uptown around 5:15 p.m. a 22-year-old man was shot in the leg near North Sheridan Road and West Windsor Avenue, police said. Ald. James Cappleman (46th) said the injured man was a known gang member and a woman was also hurt running from the shooting.
-- About 6:15 p.m., a gunman emerged from a gangway and shot a teenage boy and two men in the 300 block of West 108th Place, police said. The boy, 16, was shot in the hand and taken to a hospital in good condition, police said. A 45-year-old man was shot in the abdomen area and a 36-year-old man was shot in the armpit. The two were taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition.
-- Three men were shot and wounded about 7 p.m. in the 2000 block of East 71st Street, police said. In that incident, an 18-year-old man was shot in the lower back and a 22-year-old man was shot in the abdomen area, police said. Both men were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious-to-critical condition. A third man suffered two graze wounds and refused medical treatment.
-- Tuesday afternoon's first shooting happened around 4:30 p.m. in the 1000 block of West Garfield Boulevard, when a 20-year-old man was shot in the side and buttocks, police said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital in "stable" condition.
Also injured Tuesday was a man shot by police when he pulled an object that looked like a gun from his waistband, police said. The officer-involved shooting occurred near the 8900 block of South Brandon Avenue about 9:15 p.m., police said.
