Gordon Ramsey Nightmares, USA version
- coll Feb 20, 2007 02:04 AM
Stopped in at a local restaurant last week, hadn't seen the owner in some time. When I asked what's new, he told me that Gordon Ramsey is making a Kitchen Nightmares show there and also other places aroound the country, they're shooting in March and airing in May. Wish I could pick up the BBC version but this will be better than nothing.
PS I volunteered to help out while they're filming but I'm sure that won't happen!!
love that show! i read somewhere they advertised for interested restaurnats. glad to hear it's airing soon(ish) but i wonder about that return-to-check-on-the-place bit at the end of each episode. how much time are they giving the restaurant before he comes back to check on them, a month? (based on the soot - air dates: March -May) perhaps they're changing the format a little. at any rate, looking forward to it!
re: nuxvomica
The ad ran a while ago on Craig's List Los Angeles.
re: peetoteeto
He told me it's because he's new, not bad! But he did own another place for many years, so he's fudging it.
re: Robert Lauriston
I wouldn't be surprised!!!! Or because it's an Irish pub and it'll be around St Patricks Day?
re: peetoteeto
I have all 4 seasons on DVDs too but mine are excellent quality. LOL. Ramsay's kitchen Nightmares is one of my favorite shows. Mainly because it contains a huge amount of practical business advice. Not just for running a restaurant. The lessons Ramsay outlines can apply to any type of business. I've watched the show many times on dvd and keep finding new pointers and ideas. Very useful.
re: toptvchefs
Is there any way to get DVD's of the shows? I don't have tv, cable, or satellite but would love to see it.
My hope for this show is that they don't "Americanize" it so much that it's just Gordon running around yelling at everybody, a la Hell's Kitchen. The one thing I love about the UK version of Kitchen Nightmare's is that Ramsay comes across compassionate, excited and willing to get into the muck of things (How often do you see 3 Michelin star-chefs do you see peeling potatoes?) .
So far the previews have me less than enthusiastic, but we'll see.
re: Rocknrope
I don't see the yelling of HK as being anything to do with America, do you? Sounds like the US -HK is the same as the UK-HK, yes? (Sorry - added that for effect.)
By the way, have you all heard that there's already a lawsuit filed by the owner of one of the US restaurants, claiming much was staged?
re: cackalackie
They posted the affidavit for the lawsuit somewhere and it sounded kind of ridiculous. They were trying to use GR's behavior on episodes of Hell's Kitchen as evidence of his nature etc. I think he won a similar lawsuit in the UK.
re: cackalackie
That could be the case, as I haven't seen the UK-HK. Perhaps I made the generalization that America tv shows seem to enjoy creating the caricature of a personna and running with it (The slut, the goody-two shoes, the jock, the brainiac, the foul-mouthed chef. ;))
re: cackalackie
Sounds like sour grapes. The BBC show simply forces the owner/chef to realize the incompetence that surrounds them (sometimes its themselves!) and to take action if they want to stay in business & make money. Sometimes it sticks, sometimes it dosn't.
Article about the case:
Case docket:
Just saw tonight's episode on BBC America (of the UK series). He turned around a place in Spain's Costa Del Sol - La Parra de Burriana. He says that he has 2 weeks to do each place, and then comes back in about a month. This one looked very well done - but I understand that he's being sued by one of these places.
Here's the episode guide for the program on BBC America's page:
This is Fox's site on the US series - not much info there:
re: applehome
I saw last night's BBC-A premier as well. Quite good, and probably one of the longest times I've seen it take for the chef to get it out of his thick head that what he was doing wasn't working.
Ramsay is actually there for only one week, not two, so he doesn't have much time with each place.
I was cracking up when he was describing the kabobs and a table full of "donkey d*cks"
re: Rocknrope
When I saw those horrible swinging kabobs coming out, I was thinking "oh my god, it looks like a schl*ng!"
And then GR said the exact same thing. Couldn't believe it wasn't bleeped out.
re: weezycom
Since BBC-A is available only via cable systems and satellite in the US, they don't fall under FCC regulation. Gordon can say whatever the bleepin 'ell e wants to!
re: LabRat
That still doesn't prevent them from bleeping him!
re: cackalackie
Yes they still censor some of it, but not all. The ones I've seen elsewhere have not been censored at all.
re: Rocknrope
I don't run a resto anymore, but if I was in trouble and GR came to help me I might just listen to him.
Before he arrived I might even rent the previous seasons and take a look. No way would I have a 72(!) item menu or a kitchen that dirty.
The sad part of the whole thing was that my wife and I paused the show to read "new" menu, if we were looking for a placce to eat we'd probably skip this place and look for more seafood.
re: Scrapironchef
Shopsin's in NY has hundreds of menu items and they do just fine.
re: Leonardo
With one chef? All done with a deep fryer and a griddle? Badly?
re: Leonardo
Calvin Trillian's love aside, I believe the restaurant is now closed. With all due respect, if you've seen Kitchen Nightmares no one on that show had a desire to be Shopsin's. I can guarantee you for the "hundreds" of menu items (let's face it, 30+ kinds of pancakes is cheating it and is basically batter with whatever thrown in), if you really wanted to get the best of something in town (let's say Banana Pancakes), Shopsin's wasn't the absolute best place to get them. It was a great place to visit as a tourist and much of the charm was in the atmosphere. They are clearly an exception to the rule, although I doubt Shopsin's was ever constantly on the verge of bankruptcy and desperately adding menu items in hopes of luring new customers.
In watching Kitchen Nightmares, you will find that GR's message regarding too many menu items is incredibly consistent and makes complete sense. If you have 30 + menu items that require a ton of ingredients, you open yourself up to three big problems: 1) you do a lot of things decently but nothing extraordinary which means that you're not likely to get people talking about how fantastic you are and coming back; 2) due to the huge ingredient list, you will either have to use sub-standard items (read: premade sauces and the like) or if you use fresh, you'll kill yourself with food waste; 3) the more your kitchen has to switch gears when they cook, the more likely you're to get behind, the more likely your service will suffer.
It's really a brilliant series that we're fortunate enough to get on BBC America. I do hope that they don't tinker with the formula too much to get the Fox factor going. As others have noted, there are many fantastic business lessons to be learned from this show - and it's amazing to see how blind people can be in trusting the wrong sorts of people with their dreams of owning a restaurant.
re: Stephmo
Nicely put, Stephmo. One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants seats perhaps 110 when packed (which is often) and has perhaps 25 items on the menu. Another neighborhood joint -- that I've always been a little disappointed in -- seats at best 45, is usally 2/3rds empty, and has 40 to 50 menu items. I always look at that menu and wonder how the restaurant can stay in business with that many items on offer and such a scant amount of people to eat it.
re: weezycom
There's a restaurant here in Tuckahoe, New York that subjected themselves to Gordon's new show. I was in there and briefly discussed the taping with the chef (feel funny even calling him that). He's seems to just think the show was a documentary and is "fun tv". Man is he in for a surprise once the show airs.
See para. 3 in this post: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/425778
Amazingly enough, the place still sucks even after Gordon did his thing. I have a strange feeling these guys never saw any episodes from the UK. After Gordon leaves the place, they're usually left standing around with their tail between their legs.
What these restaurants don't understand is that for Gordon to even pick the place, it's got to be bad. Really really bad. Gordon took this place in Tuckahoe and showed what a bumbling fool the chef is and proved that just because you're a daytime soap actor, it's not qualifications to run a restaurant. Think he can really take an idiot and teach him how to run a kitchen in 7 days? I spoke to this guy and he was still clueless, even after being mentored by Gordon.
Sorry Gordon, there's just no helping people that just don't care.
I will say that watching the show should be required viewing for anyone planning to open a restaurant.
Anyone see the new trailer when the guy comes running after Gordon in the street yelling "I'll kick your ef-ing british ass!"? This U.S. version is sure to be a hit.
re: billyparsons
I've seen the trailers a lot recently. I can't believe how....different it seems to the British one. Perhaps it's partly due to the fact that the yanks don't know much about him - what to expect....
Can't wait!
re: cackalackie
This show starts this week! The British Kitchen Nightmares is one of my all-time favorite shows; GR is much more human and well rounded in those episodes than the unwatchable Hell's Kitchen. The ways each restaurant reflects a dysfunctional dynamic and how he actually has to come in and play motivational speaker and shrink to these various staffs is absolutely fascinating. Granted his message gets a little repetitive after a while: Do a simple menu with fresh ingredients so you can keep up with orders, but it's mind-numbing in how many different ways people cannot follow this common-sense recommendation. GR butting heads with American-style narcissism should be fun to watch.
re: billyparsons
Just curious...which restaurant was it in Tuckahoe?
re: Robert Lauriston
Fox...so you know it will be a bit different from the British version (more on the rants and raves, I'm afraid less on the humanizing side of GR).
re: Stephmo
Any info on the lawsuit? Funny that for all the ones he did in the UK, he never got sued - he does a couple in the US, and bang...
I've really enjoyed the UK ones. He works hard (or seems to - maybe it's just TV). He often leaves people with recipes that become their trademark dish. And he has certainly shown a creative ability to do things (parades, call in some local "stars", give food away) to pull in new clientele. He absolutely understands the business side.
re: applehome
Tonight is the episode with Peter's Italian Restaurant. Check out the teasers on youtube. This version blows away the UK series. You have to see the kitchen blow their stack!
re: applehome
Although he wasn't sued directly, GR sued the London Evening Standard for libel after they wrote an article interviewing the owner of Bonapartes who alleged GR had faked some of the scenes (which was a similar complaint by the recent US lawsuit by some Indian place in NYC). GR won the UK suit.
I saw the affidavit online of the US lawsuit, and, fair trial notwithstanding, their complaints don't seem that legitimate. Talk about biting the hand that feeds them.
re: applehome
Umm...he DID get sued in the UK by the owner of Bonaparte's, which Ramsay won. The judge threw out the US lawsuit from the restaurant Dillon's.
re: Rocknrope
No - I don't think so. As Jeanki says, it was Gordon that sued the newspaper, and won 75,000 pounds and a retraction/apology. I see nothing on-line or anywhere saying that the (ex) owner of Bonaparte's, Sue Ray actually sued him. The NYC suit was thrown out of court.
Here's a link to a BBC article:

Malcolm X and Ossie Davis
More than a eulogy
By Paul Lee
Special to the Michigan CitizenPart I of II
The following article — the first of two parts — was written, but not published, seven years ago by Highland Park scholar and Michigan Citizen features writer Paul Lee as a memorial to Ossie Davis, who died in 2005.
Davis, as he recalled in his memoir, was well known as "the man who had eulogized Malcolm X" in 1965, but his relationship with the martyred African American Muslim and nationalist leader went much deeper.
During Malcolm X's final, independent year, he, Davis and Ruby Dee, Davis' wife, collaborated on a secret effort to form a "united Black front" of civil rights organizations. This article explores their relationship and that effort, using Davis' and Dee's recollections and previously classified FBI documents.
Just as Davis' relationship with Malcolm X was much more than his brilliant eulogy, this article is much more than a memorial to Davis. The Michigan Citizen is proud to present it, updated and with new material, in commemoration of Malcolm X's 87th birthday, which was on May 19.
Ossie Davis, the legendary African American actor, playwright, producer and social activist, who passed away on Feb. 4, 2005, will be remembered by many people for eulogizing Malcolm X as "our own Black shining price" 47 years ago.
Retired trophy
Although Davis made many contributions to the arts and "the Struggle," as he liked to call the Black freedom movement before and after that sad day, if he had done nothing else, this would be a fitting tribute to his integrity, eloquence and dedication.
However, Davis and Ruby Dee, his equally gifted and committed wife, who assisted him in conducting Malcolm X's funeral service, were at least as important to Malcolm X in life as they were after his death.
But readers of Davis' and Dee's 1989 joint memoir, "With Ossie and Ruby: In This Life Together," would only get a suggestion of the true depth of their relationship with Malcolm X, some aspects of which have been understandably blurred by the mists of time. This article is partly intended to provide a historical corrective.
A memorable introduction
Like many television viewers during New York City's sweltering summer of 1959, Davis became aware of Malcolm X through Mike Wallace's controversial five-part documentary on Black nationalism in Harlem, which was broadcast on WNTA's hard-hitting "News Beat" program, July 13-17.
Ominously titled "The Hate That Hate Produced," it was researched by African American journalist Louis E. Lomax.
Lomax interviewed the fiery young minister of Muhammad's Temple of Islam No. 7, the Harlem branch of Elijah Muhammad's separatist, race-centered Nation of Islam (NOI), which would be dubbed the "Black Muslim movement" the following year in a study by Dr. C. Eric Lincoln.
"I don't remember very much about the documentary except that young man … lean and gaunt and quite capable of using language to open wounds," Davis recalled in a July 6, 1989, interview for Blackside, Inc.'s "Eyes on the Prize II," the second installment of PBS's history of the civil rights movement.
"I knew I would never forget this man," Davis recalled.
Visit to Temple No. 7
Davis' personal introduction to Malcolm X came through Dee's brother, Edward Thomas, known as Tommy, who had joined Temple (later Mosque) No. 7. "It was easy to see the positive effect Malcolm was having on him," Davis recalled in his memoir.
"Ruby and I decided, as had always been our policy with other black leaders, to check him out," Davis recalled, by going to hear him speak.
"Like Martin, he was a master of oral communications. He knew the music of Black speech and how to play an audience like an instrument. … He combined profound scholarship and understanding of national and international issues with a refreshing wit."
Later, Davis and Dee had lunch with Malcolm X at the Spartan-clean Temple No. 7 Restaurant. They "discussed various things," Davis recalled in his Blackside interview, "and (we) were impressed with him."
The feeling was mutual. "Do you know Ossie Davis?" Malcolm X suddenly asked Black writer Alex Haley, who began ghostwriting "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" in the spring of 1963.
When Haley, who would later gain international fame as the author of the 1976 historical novel "Roots," replied that he didn't, Malcolm X said, "I ought to introduce you sometime; that's one of the finest Black men," Haley reported in his epilogue to Malcolm X's memoir, published after the Muslim leader's death.
Davis himself was a commanding presence. As tall as the six-foot-three Malcolm X, Davis' broad, expressive features and rumbling baritone, which sounded as if it were purpose-built for storytelling, saw to this.
His graying temples added an air of distinction and his hair, which he wore naturally at a time when many Black men straightened theirs, suggested a healthy pride in his God-given Blackness.
Davis victorious
Malcolm X demonstrated his respect for Davis in a surprising way: He skirted the NOI's rules by attending — alone — a matinee of Davis' play "Purlie Victorious," which ran for nine months in 1961 at Broadway's Cort Theatre.
"It was most unusual for him to come to a performance because Elijah Muhammad (forbade) the Muslims to attend theater," Davis observed in his memoir. "Malcolm came backstage, and talked to Ruby and me."
In his Blackside interview, Davis recalled that Malcolm X said, "I think you're trying to do with laughter what I'm trying to do by other — any other means necessary. You are really zinging the (white) man and I appreciate that."
Muhammad Speaks — for Davis
It was almost certainly Malcolm X who arranged for "Purlie Victorious" to be promoted in Muhammad Speaks, the Chicago-based NOI newspaper that Malcolm X founded in New York in 1960 as Mr. Muhammad Speaks.
The January 1962 issue ran a photo by Robert L. Haggins, Jr., one of Malcolm X's personal photographers, of Davis addressing a Harlem NAACP rally. The cutline noted that Davis and Dee "are co-starring in his own hit satirical drama on Broadway."
In March, the paper reported their appearance at Temple's No. 7's annual "African-Asian Bazaar" on Jan. 27. The article described them as "stars of Broadway's comedy hit, 'Purlie Victorious,' written by Mr. Davis."
In June, it published two photos by Earl 5X Grant, another one of Malcolm X's personal photographers and one of his few intimates, of Malcolm X on a "Barry Gray Show" panel on New York radio station WMCA on March 30-31, 1962.
The first photo shows Davis, another panelist, raptly listening to Malcolm X. Again, he was described as the "star of (the) Broadway hit 'Purlie Victorious.'"
In the second photo, Dee is shown "congratulating the debate winner (Malcolm X) with a warm smile." She "sat through the session along with dozens of other white and Afro-American celebrities," the cutline stated.
According to Earl Grant, Davis and Dee were among the handful of people who Malcolm X could truly relax around and confide in.
He needed to do both after he was suspended from the NOI in December 1963, the result of the "envy and jealousy," as he later described it, of the group's national officials (mostly Mr. Muhammad's children), who finally succeeded in alienating Mr. Muhammad from his most gifted and loyal minister.
After 16 years as a member of the NOI, during which he came to feel like one of Mr. Muhammad's sons, this separation was devastating for Malcolm X, and opened a breach that would eventually lead to his death.
In their memoir, Davis and Dee recalled "our last visit with Malcolm," which they remembered as occurring at their New Rochelle, N.Y., home shortly before his assassination on Feb. 21, 1965.
However, what they recalled about its details more likely dates it as January 1964, several weeks after President John F. Kennedy's assassination on Nov. 22, 1963, and Muhammad's silencing of Malcolm X on Dec. 2 for publicly describing it — against instructions — as a case of "the chickens coming home to roost."
Unusually, Davis reported in his memoir, Malcolm X arrived alone. "He didn't come for advice, he didn't come for sympathy or consolation, he didn't come to listen, he came to talk. Quietly, reflectively, in his heart's own way, this talk bonded him to us forever."
It is perhaps an index of the salutary environment created by the couple that, according to Davis, "He spoke of Elijah Muhammad but without rancor."
However, Dee's recollection is more foreboding than her husband's, and demonstrated how security-conscious Malcolm X was:
"He didn't come in the front door; he came in the side entrance near the kitchen. He spent the time in the dining room, sitting in a chair that he placed against a wall that faced the door on one side and a window on an adjacent wall. … I'd been thinking much about recent events following President Kennedy's assassination, Malcolm's remarks about the death and threats against Malcolm's life."
Malcolm X's mention of death threats tends to confirm that his visit took place sometime after early January 1964, following his discovery of an NOI plot to wire his car with an explosive — something he confided to only a few intimates.
"This first direct death-order," Malcolm X later recalled in his ghostwritten autobiography, "was how, finally, I began to arrive at my psychological divorce from the Nation of Islam.
"I began to see, wherever I went … the faces of Muslims whom I knew, and I knew that any of them might be waiting (for) the opportunity to try and put a bullet in me."
"As any official in the Nation of Islam would instantly have known, any death-talk for me could have been approved of — if not actually initiated — by only one man." That man, it's clear, was Elijah Muhammad.
"I felt the very real danger surrounding him," Dee recalled in her memoir. "During the visit, I suggested places where he could go into hiding." She privately asked Ossie if she should offer Malcolm X a room behind a secret wall in their home as one such place. "Please, don't mention such a thing," Davis replied.
Dee then began searching for "$5,000 I had squirreled away," which she wanted to give to the beleaguered leader. Failing at that, she went to bid him farewell. "Malcolm is at the side door, about to leave. He and Ossie embrace. He pecks my cheek. … Take care, Malcolm. … He's across the yard and gone. … Out into the danger. Into the enemy camp without the funds."

Foreclosure Activity to Rise in Some States in 2013: RealtyTrac
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Foreclosure activity fell in 2012, helping to push home prices higher, as lenders pursued alternatives to foreclosure in the wake of a nationwide mortgage settlement and tougher state foreclosure laws.
Foreclosure filings were reported on 1.8 million properties in 2012, according to RealtyTrac's year-end 2012 Foreclosure Market Report. That is down 3% since 2011 and is more than 36% below the 2010 peak of 2.9 million properties.
Foreclosure activity has been on the decline since 2010, when banks were found to have violated laws in foreclosing upon borrowers. A moratorium on all foreclosure activity followed and new servicing standards were implemented under a settlement with the five biggest banks in March 2012, making it tougher for banks to foreclose.
Banks agreed to provide relief to borrowers in the form of principal reductions and loan modifications and to actively pursue alternatives to foreclosure in the form of short sales.Banks also appear to have voluntarily shifted away from foreclosures in states that follow a judicial foreclosure process, which requires the lender to prove in court that the borrower is in default in order to foreclose. The courts in these states are so overwhelmed that they are severely backlogged and the average time it takes to complete a foreclosure often runs into a few years. The average time to complete a foreclosure takes 1089 days in New York, for instance, against a national average of 414 days. However, despite the broad shift away from foreclosures, not all states saw a decline in activity in 2012, according to the report. Foreclosure filings still rose in 25 states, 20 of which use the judicial foreclosure process. Foreclosures increased the most in New Jersey, Florida, Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois and New York. Florida posted the highest foreclosure rate at 3.11% followed by Nevada and Arizona. In 2011, Nevada and Arizona occupied the first two spots. However, both states experienced a decline in foreclosure activity. Both states follow a non-judicial process, where banks can foreclose upon borrowers more quickly.

BlackHat USA 2006 Scandal with Michael Lynn? Not Quite.
August 4th, 2006 by SecuriTeam, Filed under: Cisco, Commentary, Culture, Funny
yesterday (now two days ago), fx, mumpi (see, i remember!), nicole, dan kaminsky and myself went to the cisco black hat party. with us was the ciscogate renowned michael lynn.
we were fx's guests, as he kindly invited us (great guy who knows how to have fun, and unlike most people, was as honest and blunt as i usually am when we talked, gotta respect that).
we went to the party, registered, said hello to a couple of cisco employees who knew who each and every one of us was (bouncers), a club bouncer, and entered the party. one of many community fun after-parties that come with these conferences.
so far so good. cisco was fun and the party was great. mike spoke with many cisco guys (no hard feelings on either side, it seems, we're all in the same industry) and we even got our pictures taken together.
a nice older lady, who kept smiling, stood with us in line as we got into the party, etc. was known to us as a reporter. i was next to mike when he said "hello, how are you?" and moved on, not looking to talk with the press yet still being polite.
she watched as mike signed his name.
then, she released this tabloid-like article on, and i quote:
"juniper researcher michael lynn crashes cisco party at black hat"
"the invite-only party last night that cisco held at a nightclub for black hat conference attendees was crashed by security researcher michael lynn, who last year was sued by cisco for revealing a serious flaw in cisco routers."
and before i get too annoyed, last quote:
"along with some friends, michael lynn, who now works for cisco rival juniper networks, evaded the security checks cisco had put in place for the party, which included a name check and legal identification. lynn and his friends, declaring "cisco owes us a drink," gleefully posed in front of a cisco sign inside the pure nightclub. once aware the lynn entourage had crashed the party, cisco employees took it in stride."
not any usual tabloid though, no sir. this was at network world. you can read this article, if you can call it that, here:
inventing a story for fun? trying to get mike into trouble? whatever her game is, this was just low.
there were at least six other reporters there, non of them did this. she did.
ellen messmer, thank you.
as a side-note, that same evening we went in a limo to the zdi party, thumbs-up to tipping point ("a division of 3com") for the great party! and for fx for knowing how to have fun!

Additional Bone Pillow 83 89
Great product. Really pleased for how well the item was made. December 16, 2014
Bone shaped pup pillow I have one of the big sofa style beds with 2 pillows so far...but I have 4 Yorkies...so, 2 more pillows will be ordered. It doesn't matter to the pups but they are fabulous!!! Well made, my dogs lay their little heads on them and relax. We have had the first one over a year and it is in perfect condition. These are nice enough to even have my and my husband's name on a set of pillows. November 20, 2014
the bone I got home Shaggy saw the bag in my hand while I was opening the bag he started jumping trying to snatch it out of my hand. He finally snatch it, and took off with it. He loved it. thanks August 20, 2014
Dog Bed Pillow We lost our previous dog. Nice feature to replace pillow with new dogs name. Would be nice to have better color pictures of contrast stitching August 1, 2014
Puppy Pillow Very cute addition to the dog bed we bought our new family member! You will enjoy it very much! January 28, 2014
Good but not quite full enough Overall, I think it is a good quality product. However, if you are going to have it monogrammed, the stuffing needs to be a little fuller. It folds in the middle and you cannot read the monogramming as well as I would like. After all, this is what makes it cute. I would be much happier if this detail was taken care of! January 24, 2014
love, love , love bought 3 pillows, one for each dog we have, brown, gray and red embroidered with their name. Love all of them, and so do our "pups".(we have 2 labs (10 years old), and a stray (2 years old?). Had to be careful at first, they thought they were toys and wanted to chew them up, now they rest their sweet heads and look very peaceful and comfy. December 3, 2013
He likes it. Henry seams to know its not a toy. He takes around the house with him and in fact uses it like the pillow it is. November 5, 2013

can I get a new cover for the bone pillow?

The zipper broke on the cover, and since the pillow is okay, I just need a new cover.

Answer:Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The main difference between the Additional Bone Pillow and the Personalized Sherpa Dog Bone Pillow is the variety of colors offered. The piping on the Personalized Sherpa Dog Bone pillow is designed to match the color of the Sherpa material on the Sherpa Pet Bed, item 41576.

A good book is like a good person.
Simple, honest and kind.
And I cannot pick it up without a pen in my hand.
Writing is part of me.
It is how I learn, how I communicate.
Part of being a writer is
Not about
Boasting success
And triumphant nothings.
It is about
Seeking the important things and writing them down.
It is about
Being an observer of the world
However big or small.
It is about
The things that may go unnoticed.
It is the search for the truth that motivates the mind.
To search and search some more.
Truths that turn into topics as deep as
Being a man, woman or child;
Or as simple as what the weather brings
Revealed in every day actions that speak
Documenting the forces of nature.
Such as when there are no cars around
And am about to cross the road
And one suddenly appears!
It's about
Noticing the details and writing them down.
As I develop perspective.
Discoveries shared with others
Contribute to my learning and I to theirs.
It is what being a writer is about.

Yep!That's the point! haha!
You only have a chance to learn from a mistake, but if you make it, you have to deal with consequences, so making mistakes is sometimes scary :-D
Maybe we are afraid of being judged by the people who doesn't even know us ...
this is human phycology we want everything perfect in our life that's why we afraid to any possible threat.. but this is the wrong way to think " we should remember that mistakes are good for learners coz learn from mistakes transform a person to achiever " :)
No one infallible , human nature based on right and wrong, and sometimes infect and sometimes mistaken and perhaps repeat the same mistake twice
I think the real question is WHY THE CAPS LOCK??
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. ". - Marianne Williamson
People tend to make mistakes because of defective judgement or carelessness. But, the fear of committing the same mistake(s) arises from the (subconscious) fear of looking stupid to other people. The brain, therefore, chooses to learn based on that (subconscious) fear, and prevents us from committing the same mistake(s) over and over again.
I feel this problem too, sometimes I am shy to practice English with someone.
You have to be suffered from each mistake . That is the most critical problem why you are unwilling to take next demanding challenge . Everyone is grounded on his personal experience to do judge and learn something from each trial and error . Experience is the most precious in the world , but yet , it is painful . There is no free meal all the time , and you cannot be the free rider forever . Learning a lesson requires your suffering . No pain , no gain .

MUSTWORTHINESS How many other DJs have the sonic brilliance to produce a killer hip-hop disc (''Ghetto Pop Life,'' featuring Brooklyn's MC Jemini) and a freaky underground sensation (''The Grey Album,'' a madcap fusion of the Beatles' ''White Album'' and Jay-Z's ''The Black Album''), and still have the sense of humor to rock shows in a mouse costume?
BECOMING A MOUSEKETEER ''When I was doing the DJ name thing, I was like, Okay: BBC cartoon character, cool name, not too serious, most people will have no idea.''
ON HIS MUST LIST ''I'm a huge Woody Allen fan. And I'm always listening to a ton of stuff in the hip-hop world -- but it's like naming your friends, you are always going to forget one.''

If last week's Transportation Tuesday article on the world's smallest solar vehicle wasn't your cup of tea (after all solar is so last year), then hopefully this week's entry will be more to your taste. The Hydrocar is a pint-sized vehicle that is powered entirely by a hydrogen fuel cell. It would make an excellent office racer or a fun educational vehicle for children – check out it's kid-friendly angle over at inhabitots!
Smart Toy Hydrocar at Inhabitots >
Scheduled for release in early 2009, the Hydrocar by Horizon Technologies is powered by a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell. To make it work just pour water into the fuel cell, which is hooked up to a solar panel. The energy from the solar panel transforms the water into hydrogen and oxygen which in turn power the tiny vehicle's fuel cell.
This isn't a first for Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies; previously they wowed us with the H-racer. But we can't help ourselves – not only is it a cool gadget, it also makes a great learning tool for children.

I like to think of myself as a new age, modern working gal, but when it comes to cooking and the kitchen I?m as old school as they come. I love cooking and my man is always greeted with a hot dish. And no I wasn?t fishing referring to myself. There is a chance that one day I could end up barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, but my blackberry and laptop would be right in there with me.
Unlike many other working gals on the go I don?t reach for the convenience of woolies meals,. I like standing over the stove, making things from scratch. Yes I make my own white sauce, none of this white sauce powder nonsense.
Old friends
Sometimes I do wish I had a little Italian mamma in my kitchen cupboard, but I?ve got a few local ladies who are always on call to help out. Ina Paarman is one I love and trust, Yuppiechef is an old favorite too, but my one of my most beloved and longest kitchen gal pals is Mrs Balls herself.
She?s great at most kind of dinner parties, and I often invite her along for curries, braais, brunch, lunch -even brekkie. But this evening I asked her to join me for one of my all-time favorite meals ? Chutney Chicken with apricots and raisins!
Absolutely delish. And she fails to impress, every time. So why not invite her around to your table? Maybe you?re chef in training, or even a pro, but there?s always room for Mrs. Balls.
Chicken with a bit of spice
If you?re looking for a new take on the mundane chicken dish, why not give my Chutney Chicken a la Mrs. Balls recipe a try..
So, this is what you?ll need
- Mrs. Balls Chutney (2-3 tables spoons)
- 2 table spoons of Lime Juice
- 2 table spoons of Raisons
- 1 Red pepper cut into slices
- Pack of free range chicken breasts
- ¾ cup chicken stock
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped spring onions
- ¼ cup chopped brown onion
- 2 Teaspoons canola oil
- Handful of apricots ( I like to add these but you don?t have to)
- Pinch of curry powder (my own mixture)
Let?s get cooking!
This is my version but feel free to add, remove or replace as your taste buds dictate..
I generally start off by browning the brown onion in a pan with a little oil.
Once the onions are nice and soft I brown the chicken until nicely golden but not cooked all the way through. At this point I like to add a pinch of curry to give the chicken a nice flavor.
Next add the chicken stock, lime juice and Mrs. Balls chutney ( I always like to make a bit more of this sauce ? you?ll see why later, so try upping the quantity a little here)
Let this simmer for a few minutes
Then add the sliced red pepper, spring onions and let that sauté for about 5 minutes. You can add another spoonful of Mrs balls chutney and a pinch more curry at this stage too. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
At this stage I like to transfer the chicken and the sauce into a baking dish. Here I add in the raisons and apricots. Make sure there is enough sauce so cover the chicken, and that it has become quite thick that way it will bake nicely. Please this into the oven for 15 ? 20 minutes. Your will see that the raisons and apricots swell and become delectably sweet over this period.
Bon Appetit
After 15 ? 20 minutes remove from the oven.I like to serve this with steamed veggies and brown rice. Delish and healthy ? what could be better!

Ask Americans to rattle off the federal holidays and observances they know by heart, and Citizenship Day isn't likely to make many people's top 10.
But the Sept. 17 observance, also known as Constitution Day, is highly regarded in Gilbert, where what began in 2002 as one church's efforts to honor the U.S. Constitution has grown into a community-wide celebration.
Numerous events occur throughout "Constitution Week" in Gilbert, from school visits by actors portraying the Founding Fathers to a patriotic concert slated for Friday at Higley Center for the Performing Arts.
The highlight is Saturday's Constitution Fair, produced by the Gilbert stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There, you'll find costumed colonial characters, replicas of historic documents and buildings and a 40-minute concert by season seven "American Idol" runner-up David Archuleta. Firefly, the Jones Boys, Light and Fortress will also perform. A military flyover, skydivers and a fireworks finale are planned.
• Contact writer: (480) 898-6818 or firstname.lastname@example.com
DETAILS >> 6 p.m. Saturday. Gilbert Town Hall, 50 E. Civic Center Drive. Suggested donation is $5 per person or $15 per family. There is limited chair seating available for the concert for $25; otherwise, bring lawn chairs or blankets. (480) 892-4645 or www.constitutionweekusa.com

Applied tracers for the observation of subsurface stormflow at the hillslope scale
Kurzfassung auf EnglischRain fall-runoff response in temperate humid headwater catchments is mainly controlled by hydrolo gical processes at the hillslope scale. Applied tracer experiments with fluore scent dye and salt tracers are well known tools in groundwater studies at the large scale and vadose zone studies at the plot scale, where they provide a means to characterise subsurface flow. We extend this approach to the hillslope scale to investigate saturated and unsaturated flow path s concertedly at a forested hill slope in the Austrian Alps. Dye staining experiments at the plot scale revealed that crack s and soil pipe s function as preferential flow path s in the fine-textured soils of the study area, and these preferenti al flow structures were active in fast subsurface transport of tracers at the hillslope scale. Breakthrough curves obtained under steady flow conditions could be fitted well to a one-dimensional convection-dispersion model. Under natural rain fall a positive correlation of tracer concentrations to the transient flows was observed. The results of this study demon strate qualitative and quantitative effects of preferential flow feature s on subsurface stormflow in a temperate humid headwater catchment. It turn s out that , at the hill slope scale, the interaction s of structures and processes are intrinsically complex, which implies that attempts to model such a hillslope satisfactorily require detailed investigation s of effective structures and parameters at the scale of interest.

Death penalty in Philippines proposed
In Senate Bill 2080, Sotto cited Article 19, Section 3 of the Constitution which provides "Excessive fines shall not be imposed nor cruel, degrading or inhuman punishment inflicted. Neither shall death penalty be imposed, unless, for compelling reasons involving heinous crimes, the Congress hereafter provides for it."
"The influx of heinous crimes committed poses an alarming situation in the country nowadays," the actor-turned politician explained.
He added: "The indiscriminate and horrendous brutality happening everywhere rightfully and justifiably compels the government to resort to the ultimate criminal penalty provided for by no less than our Constitution – the death penalty."
Sotto said life imprisonment proves to be a non-deterrent against criminality.
The proposal of Sotto is also consistent with the rationale of Republic Act 7659 or the Death Penalty Law which provides that death penalty is appropriately necessary due to the alarming upsurge of such crimes.
"The upsurge of such crimes has resulted not only in the loss of human lives and wanton destruction of property but also affected the nation's efforts towards sustainable economic development and prosperity while at the same time has undermined the people's faith in the government and the latter's ability to maintain peace and order in the country," Sotto said.
Sotto, a former chairman of the Dangerous Drug Board, also filed in July last year a bill that would re-impose the death penalty in drug-related cases.

Top Destinations:
Here are a few of the hotel chains and travel sites we search for the best hotel deals...
Where to Stay in Cuenca
Cuenca is a mid-sized South American city located in the highlands of Ecuador. The city is famous for its city center, which features many buildings that date back from the early Spanish colonial period. Here, within this vibrant downtown district, visitors can find a variety of accommodations. Both mid-range and high-end hotels occupy historic, centuries-old buildings, enabling visitors to immerse themselves in this historic city. Budget travelers can compare room rates at the handful of hostels that provide easy access to many of the city's top attractions. Those in search of luxury can book reservations at the several boutique hotels in downtown Cuenca. If you want to wake up to beautiful vistas of the surrounding majestic mountains, make sure to ask for a room on one of the upper floors. There are also a few hotels located just outside of the city center. These establishments often are cheaper than their downtown counterparts.
Cuenca Hotel Tips
Cuenca is located 8,200 feet above sea level. For those not used to such high altitudes, you should take the first day or so of your trip to adjust. To help with your transition, do not overexert yourself and do not drink too much alcohol, which can cause dehydration. Additionally, some upscale hotels may offer oxygen upon request, which can help diminish the likelihood of altitude sickness.
July and August are Cuenca's hottest months. It's not uncommon for temperatures to hit triple digits during this season. If you're planning your trip for this summer season, make sure your hotel is climate controlled in advance. Locals tend to take their vacations during this season, so you can expect to face thinner crowds. However, some local shops and restaurants may be closed due to the vacation season.
If you want to find the best flights deals to Cuenca and hotel rates, consider scheduling your trip for the winter months. Temperatures during this period are cool, usually settling around the 50s. Plus, as an incentive to visitors, many hotels and tourist-based businesses lower their prices.
Cuenca Hotel Recommendations
For an exclusive boutique accommodation in the heart of downtown Cuenca, consider making reservations at the Mansion Alcazar. The hotel provides easy access to museums, markets and the city's famous churches. The hotel features a jasmine garden where guests can sip on cocktails while enjoying the warm Cuenca night. Guestrooms feature elegant furnishings and are adorned with antiques and fresh flowers. The hotel also features a tea and coffee room and a reading room. Guests can dine at the Casa Alonso. Located adjacent to the hotel garden, this gourmet restaurant serves a morning American-style breakfast buffet everyday.
With its richly decorated interiors, the Santa Lucia is one of the classiest hotels in Cuenca. Located downtown just a couple blocks from the famous cathedrals, this boutique hotel dates back to 1859 when it served as the governor's mansion. Today, it has been newly renovated to provide guests with all the modern conveniences of home. Standard rooms are cozy and include a full bed, free bottled water and plasma televisions. Larger double and triple rooms are also available. A free breakfast buffet is served each morning, and guests are greeted upon check-in with a complimentary cocktail. The hotel is also home to several restaurants, including Trattoria. Located in the hotel's central courtyard, this gourmet Italian restaurant is stocked with more than 300 varieties of wine.
Or stay on the north side of downtown at the El Dorado Hotel. This boutique hotel was designed with business travelers in mind. The facility features high-speed Internet access, multi-purpose meeting rooms and a 24-hour business center. State-of-the-art event spaces are available and can fit up to 250 guests. Rooms are equipped with marbled bathrooms and showers with massage shower heads. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a complimentary welcome cocktail. There is also a spa and fitness center. As for dining, guests can eat at the hotel's Fogo Bar & Grill. In addition to the gourmet American-style cuisine, the restaurant provides stunning views of the city and surrounding landscape.
Cuenca Transportation
Streets in Cuenca are narrow, a typical feature of colonial towns. This makes transport via car difficult, especially within Cuenca's bustling city center. Fortunately, it's easy to explore the historic downtown district on foot, especially since most hotels are located within blocks from the city's majestic cathedrals and museums. If you wish to travel outside downtown, you can call or hail a cab. There is also a citywide bus system that provides transportation throughout Cuenca. If you are planning on visiting one of Cuenca's neighboring villages, you can frequently find shuttle service from a local tour company.

Millman's Cell Phone Program a Success
Presents over 100 cell phones to District Attorney for victims of domestic violence
March 28, 2003
They brought them in droves: some brought them in bags, others came in boxes, while still more came from as far away as Staten Island. Nothing seemed to stop citizens from bringing their used cell phones to Assemblywoman Joan L. Millman's (D/WF—Brooklyn) District Office. These phones were presented to District Attorney Charles Hynes on Thursday, March 27, 2003 at his office at 350 Jay Street. "For the past month, I have been collecting cell phones to present to the Kings County District Attorney's Office, where they will be distributed to victims of domestic violence," said Millman. "Tragically, domestic violence still affects thousands of women. As Chair of the New York State Assembly's Task Force on Women's Issues, this initiative was part of my effort during women's history month to bring both aid and attention to victims of domestic violence. I am glad to provide over one hundred women with a measure of safety they did not have before," said Millman. Since the program's inception in 1995, twenty perpetrators have been arrested on counts of domestic violence because of cell phones victims received from the District Attorney's Office. The number of arrests does not account for the number of calls made to 911 from these phones. "It works, it really works," said District Attorney Charles Hynes. Raising a phone in his hand, Hynes stated, "Just one of these instruments can save a person's life." Representatives from Safe Horizon Counseling Center and the Center Against Domestic Violence as well as the domestic violence officers from the 78th Precinct also attended the event. While Assemblywoman Millman plans to make this a yearly event, she encourages those who wish to donate cell phones to contact Mary Fontaine with District Attorney's office. She can be reached at (718) 250-2316.

Black holes in galaxies rotate fast, study finds
LOS ANGELES (AP) — There's a new spin on supermassive black holes: They're incredibly fast, astronomers say.
It's long been suspected that gigantic black holes lurking in the heart of galaxies rotate faster and grow larger as they feast on gas, dust, stars and matter. But there hasn't been a reliable measurement of the spin rate of a black hole until now.

I'm taking a lot of medications. Is this dangerous?
- Q: I would like to know if it's dangerous to take these medications together: Warfarin, Metformin HCL, Nuvigil, Cymbalta, Synthroid, Lyrica, Topamax, Lexapro, Depakote ER, Vitamin D-3 x3 1000IU, daily multivitamin, Prevacid, Tamoxifen, Ambien CR, Lipitor, and Trilipix.
- A: Here are the major interactions between your medications and the ones to be most aware of: When taking Lexapro and Cymbalta together, you should watch out for signs of serotonin syndrome such as confusion, increased sweating, and rapid heart rate. If you start to experience any of these symptoms, you should consult a physician. Tamoxifen, Trilipix, Prevacid, and Nuvigil can sometimes increase the blood-thinning effect of warfarin. Watch out for unusual signs of bleeding, such as easier than normal bruising and bleeding gums. Lipitor and Trilipix taken together can result in muscle aches, pains, and damage. If you start to feel any unusual muscle pain, consult your physician. The other side effect you may experience between your medications is an increase in drowsiness or mental alertness.

Top Local Tips for Shimla
My first visit to Shimla It was a wonderful experience when I visited Shimla for the first time. It was a peak winters in Shimla and I happened to be placed in Delhi in my Job. Initially, I had shown some resistance to my Boss who had directed me to go on duty . This is because of peak winter season in January . Believe me when I stayed in Shimla for a couple of days , winters were all forgotton. Pollution free enviornment in Shimla, healthy food, calm and serene atmosphere made my stay so attractive that I fell in love with the place.Early morning you could see clouds at your feet and touching your palm.Tall trees and pony rides added beauty to the place.It was indeed my most memorable experience so much so after the very first visit, I am a regular visitor to the place every year.
Must visit The name of the place is Rohtang. 5 stars for beauty and enjoyment. Must visit this place if you really want to make the most out of your trip to Shimla.

DDVE has developed partnerships and joint work with a number of faith-based organizations. Some of the main organizations with which DDVE has worked over the years include the following (the links provided below will take you to the organizations' own web sites):
The World Faiths Development Dialogue was created to bridge between the worlds of faith-based and mainstream development with support from the World Bank. Established in 2000 by James D. Wolfensohn, former World Bank President and Lord George Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury, WFDD supports dialogue and fosters research on religion and development. Information on joint work and projects between DDVE and WFDD is available at World Faiths Development Dialogue.
The Community of Sant'Egidio is a Catholic lay movement active globally in areas of interfaith understanding, peace and reconciliation, and HIV/AIDS. Sant'Egidio helped broker the peace negotiations in Mozambique, and is currently active in numerous conflict situations worldwide, including the ongoing efforts in Northern Uganda. The movement has won numerous prizes, including the Balkan Prize (2004) and has been a Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Sant'Egidio hosts an annual "Prayer for Peace," a prominent global interfaith meeting raising issues of global development, in which DDVE has participated. On HIV/AIDS, Sant'Egidio received TAP funding in Mozambique for the Community's HIV/AIDS treatment program. The World Bank and Sant'Egidio signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2003 outlining areas of common concern and possible collaboration.
Fe y Alegria is a confederation of Jesuit schools targeting disadvantaged youth and serving more than 1.2 million students in 17 Latin American countries. DDVE will be organizing in the fall of 2009 a seminar in collaboration with the World Bank Institute, CAF (the Corporación Andina de Fomento) and Magis America for Fe y Alegria and government staff from 15 Latin American countries to assess the performance of Fe y Alegria schools and discuss some of the school's innovative programs.
The Fès Colloquium was initially conceived as a modest event at the periphery of the annual Fes Festival of World Sacred Music in Morocco, the Colloquium has grown to a global forum on probing issues of ethics, globalization, and poverty, and their ties to the Arab World, Europe, and beyond. Participants at the annual event include politicians, scientists, scholars, artists, development practitioners, and business leaders. Past colloquia participation have focused on central topics of education, cultural heritage, youth, and memory. Institutional partners in the forum have included the European Union, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, the Moroccan government, and the World Bank's DDVE.
The International Movement ATD Fourth World was founded in 1957 in France by a Catholic Priest, Joseph Wresinski (1914-1988). ATD is a non-confessional, non-profit grass-roots and advocacy organization at the origin of the United Nations' World day for overcoming poverty (October 17). Today, ATD runs projects with the very poor in about twenty five developed and developing countries. ATD also aims at representing the poorest in national and international forums. The organization has been granted consultative status 1 with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) at the United Nations.
The Women, Faith and Development Alliance (WFDA) was launched in April 2008 as a partnership between international development, faith, and women's organizations committed to dialogue and advocacy on issues of gender equity. The lead organizational sponsors are Women Thrive Worldwide, the World Conference of Religions for Peace, InterAction, and Washington National Cathedral's Center for Global Justice and Reconciliation. With the support of more than 70 organizations, WFDA's goal is twofold: to bridge chasms that have existed between faith, development, and women's organizations active in parallel and complementary areas, and to form a coalition to advocate for concerted financial commitment and policy on gender issues. DDVE provided in 2007 funding to WFDA for its dissemination and outreach efforts, including the production of a short video on empowering women.
The World Conference of Religions for Peace (WCRP) is an international coalition or representatives of global religious traditions committed to peace and development. Recent WCRP global fora have focused on contributions and partnerships of faith leaders and communities to achieve the MDGs. At the country-level, WCRP convenes Inter-Religious Councils of local religious leaders to undertake work on a range of initiatives, including gender, legal empowerment, conflict transformation, children and youth, sustainable development, human rights, and peace education, inter alia. DDVE participated and provided funding in 2007 to WFDA for its dissemination and outreach efforts, including the production of a short video on empowering women, and convening a high level working group to move the initiative forward.
The World Council of Churches (WCC) brings together 349 churches, denominations and church fellowships in more than 110 countries and territories representing over 560 million Christians. Part of the broader Geneva-based ecumenical movement, the WCC is engaged in issues relating to poverty reduction, including in areas such as trade liberalization, governance, and post-conflict. Since 2002, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have been engaged in an ongoing dialogue with the WCC. Termed "encounters," these meetings have examined issues around institutional governance and accountability, participation of civil society in development processes, the respective roles of the public and private sector in poverty alleviation, and the challenges of globalization. Through this dialogue with WCC, the World Bank and the IMF have been encouraged to re-examine their concepts of development and evolving institutional mandates. The last "encounter" took place in Accra, Ghana in August 2008.
