Belgian DJ and producer Nico Parisi releases his latest work 'Soulit' which comes with three wonderful remixes. Nico's tracks have been featuring heavily on many sets and charts in the last 6 months or so. Most notably his track 'Caress' (Philthy Chit Remix) was a popular choice on Paul Oakenfold's Full On Flouro show. A testament to the quality on offer from one of Belgium's legendary artists.
First up the Original Mix gets us going with a very smooth progressive vibe, the intro boasts a melancholic soft melody which gives rise to a superb throbbing bassline. Nice big kicks enter and deliver cool rhythms with the help of tight percussion arrangement. The track builds beautifully as the melodies unwind and dominate the break. Cool vocal samples come through on the break as the synths intensify before slamming back into full on progressive mode for the duration. Excellent stuff from Nico and no doubt we will be seeing a lot of this track in the future.
Sector 7 aka M.I.K.E. is up first on the remix with a proper gritty progressive edged workout. Mike, as you would imagine continues to be an extremely hardworking DJ and producer with gigs taking him all around the world. Back at his New York base he delves into his studio to churn out some of the finest tunes around and this remix is no exception. Pumping kicks alongside a powerful vocal get the track started while cool percussive elements build nicely and stamp out flowing rhythms. The bassline plunders in and the whole dynamic changes taking us deep into the progressive sound. Cool synth riffs wait patiently in the background before being unleashed on the break in all their glory. Stunning work from Mike and sure to draw a lot of attention.
Audio Noir sure does get around. Not content with his own quality productions, he lends his skills to other tracks with outstanding results such as this. Audio Noir's Pressure Mix takes the progressive vibe on the original into the deeper realms. From the get go we are drawn in by a chunky kick and tribal led percussion arrangement with a massive resonating bass coming from way down below. The vocals are used well with a classic sample thrown to great effect. Intense synths sit back as the bass morphs into a metallic sounding riff that dominates the break before the synths show their full force. More top quality prog out of Australia that is most definitely not to be missed.
Rounding up this pack we have Netherlands DJ and producer Thorin. Thorin has been responsible for a litany of top class releases through various Bonzai imprints in recent years and he is also an very much in demand remix artist and DJ. The remix blasts into existence with a monster kick grungy bass combo, percussions slowly build and lead to a fiery rhythm. The vocals have been give a gritty makeover adding to the dark edge on the track. Fantastic synths loiter in the background as hypnotic sound dominates throughout. The break offers a softer side to the track before crashing right back into that solid progressive groove. Simply stunning from Thorin and will no doubt feature in those tougher edged sets.

Metal Gear Scanlon 2 - Part 13
Become Premium to Watch
Dimensions recaptures enough of Geometry Wars' thrills to stand as the best new dual-joystick shooter in quite a while.
The little mushroom man finally gets his name on the marquee, and the result is a charming, unique, and puzzle-heavy adventure.
Nintendo's all-stars assemble once again, resulting in one of the best reasons to own a Wii U (and eight GameCube controllers).
Game »
consists of 4 releases.
Released Nov 13, 2006
Animals that follow you or help you on your journey.
Anthropomorphism is the concept of an object, concept or character that has human qualities or traits, such as speech, a level of intelligence similar or higher than a human's and self consciousness. "Anthro" means "of human" and related to the concept of humanity.
An immature childish person. It wears diapers and whines a lot, much like old folks. Babies are considered cute by most people.
Bloopers are squid-like creatures that are usually white. They are usually seen underwater and attack enemies by chasing them and trying to catch them.
Boo is a ghost-enemy in the Mario universe who pursue Mario until he looks in their direction. They earned their reputation for being "shy" this way. Don't turn your back on them!
Boss Bass is a giant male Cheep-Cheep who attempts to swallow Mario and Luigi whole.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
Collectibles are items such as coins, rings, gems, packages etc. that can be gathered, usually for some kind of reward, or sometimes to simply beat a level. Often (almost too often) the source of earning achievements and trophies on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The ultimate pressure feature. You have to complete the task at hand, be it finishing your opponent or cutting the right wire, in the allotted time depending on which game you're playing. So be quick or you lose.
When characters shed tears in extreme sadness.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
The 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on May 10-12.
A cluster of platforms that have the same rotating movement as a Ferris Wheel. Thusly, they always remain in a horizontal position.
The character kicks his feet while he jumps to increase horizontal movement.
An interesting revelation. While some games will only accept a START button press, many other games aren't as strict.
These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
Goonies are recurring flying enemies that appear intermittently throughout Yoshi's games. They aren't much of a threat alone, and are often useful as stepping stones for Yoshi.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Games in which the two main protagonists are of different species.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
A very common collection of enemies in the Super Mario Bros. franchise. Some famous Koopas include: Lakitu, Hammer Bro., Bowser Jr., and the King of Koopas himself, Bowser!!
The wings on its back allows it to hop or fly. They are not as common as normal Koopa Troopas, but they pose a bigger threat.
The Koopa Troop is Bowser's army. It consists of several different members, most of whom are the koopa species.
The concept of lives in video games evolved to let the player get a second chance after failing once. The most recognizable symbol is the heart.
These are often a departure from the conventional gameplay of a game. There have also been compilations; games including only minigames. The Mario Party series has a lot of minigames, too!
Animals that can be ridden by players to get around faster.
Platforms conveniently moving you towards your destination to allow the crossing of large expanses which would otherwise be impossible to cross.
Two or more characters are featured on the game's box art.
A species of carnivorous plants that reside in pipes. Some specimens can spit fireballs.

NHL spokesman Frank Brown declined to comment in an email.
Bailey filed a lawsuit this week in Orange County Superior Court that accuses the organization of religious discrimination and failure to prevent harassment because of alleged anti-Jewish verbal abuse by Condors coaches Martin Raymond and Mark Pederson.
The Ducks are not commenting on the case.
ESPN cited sources that said the league is investigating the allegations "to try to find out if the claims of abuse are true and what the Ducks knew about the situation, when they knew about it and how they responded."
Ducks' management is not specifically named in the complaint obtained by the Register, but Bailey's attorney, the Los Angeles-based Keith A. Fink, said late Thursday that Bailey brought the issue to Ducks general manager Bob Murray and senior vice president of hockey operations David McNab early in 2009 and was told that Raymond would be fired and the Ducks would cease their partnership with the Condors.
Fink said that McNab found Bailey's allegations to be "unbelievable."
"For Anaheim to claim to have no knowledge of this is an outright lie," Fink said.
Bailey alleges that he was subjected to verbal abuse because of his Jewish heritage when he joined the Condors, and Fink said his teammates could corroborate the alleged remarks.
Fink said Bailey at first "kind of sucked it up and didn't complain about the comments" but he had a breaking point and went to coaches and asked them to stop.
Fink said he has an email to Bakersfield owner Jonathan Fleisig dated Feb.17, 2009 that details what Bailey allegedly experienced.
Among the incidents alleged by Bailey in the complaint:
After Bailey complained about the alleged incidents, Raymond and Pederson were briefly suspended and wrote letters of apology to Bailey, both of which are referenced in the complaint.
"It was not my intent to offend you ...," Raymond wrote, according to the complaint.>

- Third Quarter EPS of $0.13 vs. $0.06 in Q3 2009
- Both Optical and Accessory Segments Grew Revenue and Profits
- Company Repurchased 1.4 Million Shares for $5.7 Million
LINCOLN, R.I., Oct. 27, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A.T. Cross Company (Nasdaq:ATX) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended October 2, 2010.
David G. Whalen, President and Chief Executive Officer of A.T. Cross said, "We are very pleased with our third quarter and year to date performance. In both periods, our business grew by nearly 12% and our bottom line improved significantly. The Cross Optical Group continued its exceptional 2010 performance delivering year to date revenue growth of 18% and operating income growth of nearly 30%. We are excited by the market share gains the sunglass business is achieving and believe that its opportunities and growth prospects are numerous. In the Cross Accessory Division, we continued to see top line growth in every region of the world. As a result of the work done in 2009 to improve our cost structure, growth in the Accessory Division's operating income exceeded revenue growth in both percentage and absolute terms."
Third Quarter 2010 ResultsConsolidated sales for the third quarter of 2010 increased by 11.8% to $38.2 million compared to $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2009.

The Cross Optical Group (COG) reported a third quarter sales increase of 16.9%, to $15.1 million. The Optical Group's revenue growth was driven by growth of both the Costa and Native brands. Gross margin in the quarter was 54.4% compared to 52.6% in last year's third quarter. Both segments improved their gross margin with the COG expanding 310 basis points.

This is the second Lorex system I have purchased. This new system has all of the same features of my previous system plus improved remote access and connectivity to allow remote viewing of the cameras. The system was easy to set up and get up and running. I would certainly recommend Lorex to friends. My previous system has been running effectively for years and has provided excellent service to our family

Good buy!
"I purchased the LH 400 Link Series a couple month ago. I found the instalation to be straight forward and simple. The set up of the DVR for the network and IPhone was a little more challenging. The instructions that Lorex supplied was extreamly helpful in my sucessful setup. Great product! I expect this product to last many years to help protect my house."

Excellent product......
"Easy installation and excellent customer service; Your cameras could transmit a higher quality picture--any suggestions?"
Location: Virginia Beach, VA
Worth the $
"Decent picture quality, Could have a better interface on iPhone"
Location: Keller, TX
Great remote video viewed on any device!
"I purchased this product specifically because I was looking for a means to monitor my home on my BlackBerry 8320 Curve. This product meets my needs and more. For starters, the set-up was easy and straight-forward. No trouble at all. After testing my setup, I registered with the free Lorex DDNS service and found remote viewing and control to be easy and effortless. Whether using my laptop, desktop or BlackBerry, the system is a breeze to monitor and control. The included client software makes the remote setup very easy. Since the DVR is a server, for those of you who are network geeks out there, you can access it directly through a firewall with no client software needed if you know how to set it up.....yes, all the info is in the manual.
This system is an upgrade for me. My old security cameras were X10-based and used separate motion sensors. With the Lorex, the motion detection is built into each camera. Genius! The video quality is very, very good and works day (color) and night (B&W with infra-red LEDs in each cam). The setup also has 8 external alarm inputs so that you can wire up a door or window contact to elicit an email message upon triggering. Emails can be sent to as many as 5 addresses.
I highly recommend this product."
Location: Surveillance Contractor_Northern New Jersey
Excelent price and quality
"Researched various DVR's and found the Lorex Link to have all necessary features for surveillance and monitoring that others did not offer.
Price was extremely competitive compared to other brands offering the same or less in quality and/ or features.
Cameras however are low resolution, but for certain conditions, do the job excellently. For more detailed display, higher resolution cameras can be purchased separately.
I highly recommend this product."
Location: sacramento, ca,
not bad
"I had this system les than one month work good but the out door cameras is not good its not waterproof.they go bad with lot of steem water in it after first little rain"
Location: Chicago, IL
Great System
"This is my second video surveillance system. The first was a four camera Samsung system, that was really quite decent so that is my benchmark for this assessment. I found the Lorex product to be quite easy to install and set-up. Easy to follow documentation and things went together perfectly.
I'm very pleased with the quality of the cameras and they work great, although I did swap one out for a higher-end Sony night vision to be able see 180 feet in the dark. (The Lorex cameras reach out about 25 to 30 ft in the dark)
Record resolution is quite good, you can actually identify faces (unlike so many other systems). It works well over the web and the multi-function capability is simply cool! I have it hooked up as a PC monitor and for watching cable TV too.
So far, operation has been flawless. The flat panel integrated console takes up very little space and has a nice crisp and crystal clear display quality. I would definitely recommend this product."
Location: Seattle, WA
Started out good
"The system was not easy to setup, but the instructions were understandable. I followed the instructions very carefully and the internet connection still did not work. I called customer support and got through fairly quickly. They admitted something on their end was not configured correctly and quite quickly everything was working. Two months after I bought the system, the main speaker died. I have tried three times with waits as long as an hour to get technical support and have been unable to get any help."
Cons: customer support is non existent., main controller is not well designed.

Doulton W9121302 Imperial Super Sterasyl Gravity Filter Video Transcript
Hey everyone, Tony the Filter Doctor here. Today were looking at the Doulton W9121302. This is the Imperial Super Sterasyl seven ceramic inch filter candle. Its designed with a 1 ¼ inch threaded stem specifically for gravity fed filter systems. And its commonly used in Doulton systems like the SS4 and in Berkey systems like the Big Berkey, and others. Now, the Imperial Super Sterasyl features Doultons standard ceramic technology with imbedded silver. This imbedding process is superior to the silver impregnating that many manufacturers use, because it keeps the silver in the ceramic and does not allow it to escape and get into your drinking water. And you dont want it in your drinking water but you do want it in the cartridge because it causes the filter to be self-sterilizing and bacteriostatic so that microorganisms cannot live and grow on this filter media. And the ceramic filter shell produces excellent tight filtration, providing absolute filtration down to 0.9 microns. That will give you 99.99% reduction of microbial cysts like cryptosporidium and giardia, as well as the same level of protection for pathogenic bacteria like salmonella, e coli, and cholera. Now, inside of the ceramic shell is a layer of granular activated carbon, and of course, activated carbon removes a long list or organic and inorganic contaminants, as well as a variety of VOCs, which are volatile organic compounds. And you will get really good tasting water, because the carbon, of course, removes chlorine taste and odor and generally improves the palatability of your water product. Its a great filter and best of all, its highly reusable. These ceramic elements can be washed and reused many many many times. Simply remove it from the filter housing, and under running water lightly scrub it with a green Scotchbrite until it returns to its original creamy white color, then reinstall and youre back in business. Now, determining filter life depends on what contaminants youre most concerned with. If you are concerned with a contaminant that is removed by the granular activated carbon, the GAC inside the ceramic shell will be exhausted in about 600 gallons, long before the ceramic outer shell begins to wear thin. But, if your primary concern is with sediment or microbial organisms, then youre depending on the ceramic shell and that will last many many many times longer than the granular activated carbon. I cant give you an exact number of gallons, but be sure it will be several thousand gallons before the ceramic wears so thin that it needs to be replaced. Again, this is the Doulton W9121302, Imperial Super Sterasyl seven inch ceramic filter candle. Im your host Tony the Filter Doctor. Thanks for watching.

Keep It Moving
Sauté Tip: To minimize the loss of heat in the pan and to distribute the food evenly over the surface, toss or flip food every so often using tongs or the pan's handle. Using a traditional sauté pan with gently sloped sides aids the process when using the handle to flip food.

Tan, C.H and Smadiyah, A (1983) Antifertility effects of two Malaysian plants. Pertanika, 6 (1). pp. 40-42.
The effects of two indigenous plants on the fertility of rats have been studied. Lepidagathis longifolia, also known as Penluruh, Serga dan Penggugur, has been found to reduce the litter size of rats if an aqueous extract (500 and 550 mg/kg body weight) of its roots is administered orally for 10 days post-coitum. This finding is consistent with its alleged used as an abortifacient. In contrast, the oral administration of aqueous and ethanol extracts (250 mg/kg body weight; 30 days) of Hibiscus rosa sinensis flowers (Bunga raya) has no effect on the weight and histology of the sex organs of male rats.

Current United States policy, let alone popular political thought, is very far from libertarian. Writing about a future election where libertarianism is the mainstream can only be an exercise in vision as of now.
Nevertheless, there are signs that libertarianism can serve as a durable political mainstream of a solid, universal-adult-suffrage republic. Despite the low poll numbers racked up by all libertarian candidates (in the broader sense), there are definite signs that a libertarian mainstream can be the basis of a thriving two-party state — a competitive two-party system, with frequent horse races.
Based upon what the libertarian movement is like now, the most likely split into two parties would be Objectivist-based versus Austro-libertarian-based. There's already enough animosity between both groups' "party faithful" to make for two competitive camps. According to hard-core Objectivists, what you're reading here amounts to "The Perversion of Liberty." (See The Voice of Reason, pp. 311—333.) And, of course, the great Murray N. Rothbard had his own choice appellation about the inner core of the Objectivist movement. He isn't the only libertarian to use that term, either.
Backing up this split are profound differences in political attitude, to the point that Objectivists would probably be "Red-State Randians" and the Austros would likely be "Blue-State Libertarians." Although the principles deduced from the Non-Aggression Axiom are exact, there's sufficient vagueness in implementing them to make for an unending string of issue-driven campaigns. For example, there is a natural right to defend oneself against aggression. But how far should that right be farmed off to a minimal-government libertarian State? How minimal is u2018minimal'? Would it be better to put a lot of cops on the beat, to properly deter any would-be aggressors? Should there be minimal policing, because it's better (and tax-cheaper) for aggresses to see to their own defense? Since a libertarian State is still a State, the same compromises would be necessary, and the same trade-offs would appear. There would be ample scope for two competing visions, as expressed in two different parties.
In fact, given the gulfs that already exist now, two hypothetical platforms of two different parties are straightforward to construct. Since big-L libertarianism basically is Austro-libertarianism (although sometimes errant), I'll use the name "Libertarian" for the Austro-party and "Objectivist" for the Rand-driven party.
The Hypothetical Libertarian Future, Date Unknown
The Libertarian Party platform:
- The Libertarian Party expresses its tolerance for anarcho-capitalist and other pro-liberty anarchist movements, as they help to lower our need for the State.
- The Libertarian Party staunchly reiterates its opposition to any war, or any other foreign adventure, that does not begin with an explicit attack on United States soil.
- The Libertarian Party, in solidarity with taxpayers and in harmony with the virtue of self-reliance, promises economy in funding of the police services, courts and military.
- The Libertarian Party promises to take seriously any violations of private property rights not yet known to science, with appropriate legislation if called for.
- The Libertarian Party, in consonance with common sense, reiterates its eternal opposition to any form of corporate welfare.
- The Libertarian Party continues to express its opposition in principle to government-sanctioned patents, copyrights and trademarks, and promises to abolish U.S. governmental protection of the first of these three.
- The Libertarian Party affirms its support of 100%-reserve banking, and promises continual scrutiny of any bank that claims to operate under a "consent-driven" fractional-reserve model.
- The Libertarian Party reiterates its commitment to federalism. Violations of individual rights at the non-federal level, although deplorable, will not be formally redressed by a Libertarian administration except through oratory.
- Further to the Libertarian Party's commitment to federalism, the Libertarian Party pledges to introduce a Constitutional Amendment to reinforce Article of Amendment XXIX's repeal of Article of Amendment XII. Said proposal will specify the conditions of secession for any state that desires to do so, and will be known as Article of Amendment XXXIII if ratified by sufficient States along with the House and Senate.
- The Libertarian Party also pledges an exploratory committee to divest Congress of its power to "coin Money" and "regulate the Value thereof," and to examine the feasibility of devolving said Power to the several states.
The Objectivist Party platform:
- The Objectivist Party denounces all forms of anarchism, as they encourage blood feuds, irrational diffidence when relying upon the objectivization of retaliation, and private, non-objective vengeance crusades.
- The Objectivist Party reaffirms the right of the United States government, as a principled defender of man's rights, to invade any slave state at the time of its choosing.
- The Objectivist Party, in solidarity with victims and in harmony with the virtue of rational civility, promises adequate funding of the police services, courts and military.
- The Objectivist Party promises to treat any alleged new kind of violation of property rights with appropriate judiciousness and restraint.
- The Objectivist Party, in harmony with the virtue of productiveness, reiterates its eternal opposition to the pure dependency inculcated by "pure" welfare.
- The Objectivist Party promises to maintain and defend intellectual property rights, rationally defined.
- The Objectivist Party reiterates its support of free banking, and promises to place greater priority on retaliations against more direct and injurious rights violations.
- The Objectivist Party also reiterates its commitment to individual rights. Violations of any of man's rights at the non-federal level shall be met with official responses that will pass the scrutiny of the Supreme Court.
- The Objectivist Party promises to enforce Article of Amendment XXXI with full rigor, through introducing a binding resolution in Congress that would necessitate it and any future Congress to require formal Supreme Court pre-vetting of any legislation that could affect trade.
- The Objectivist Party also promises to introduce diamond "coins," of grade and weight specified by law, to make commerce in large denominations more convenient.
Liberty And The Two-Party State
Although not deducible from the Non-Aggression Axiom, the two-party State is a well-known buttress against totalitarian tyrannies, all of which feature one-party States. Those two hypothetical platforms just above, constructed from the "two libertarianisms" already extant, make it evident that a libertarian mainstream does not herald a future one-party State. Given the differences already referred to above, it would be an extraordinary claim to assert the opposite. There's enough diversity within the small-l libertarian movement to make for full, competitive, voter-courting elections…within a libertarian mainstream. In fact, the libertarian movement could support full and competitive mock elections for a mock-Congress and -White House as of now.
They'd be "full" elections in another sense, too. "Oh boy — the Objectionist Party!" "Well, if it ain't the Librarian Party!" "Did the other candidate lecture you on the irrational premises expressed by your front lawn?" "One thing we aren't is the u2018Sally Ayn' Party." "Watch it — if you defend yourself like that, the Sally Ayn Party will throw you into the hoosegow!" "Only a Libber-tear-ian would blame the victim for calling the police." And so on, and on, and on…
In fact there may be enough fur flying to make an entry point for alternate parties, including protest parties.
"Hello and thank you for listening. I'm with the Libertarian Monarchist Party. Are you as sick of the social immaturity of the u2018mainstream' as I am? Well, if you are, then we have a third alternative that's solidly based on sound political theory…"

UNUM Creations is a two year old
company started in early 2004. It has been in formal existence for
less than a year under the name UNUM Film Creations Pvt. Ltd. Its
goal is simply to produce socially conscious and commercially
feasible television entertainment in India starting in a regional
language and broaden to include the rest of India. The first
production is a serial on Gemini Television in Telugu under the
title "Toorpu Padamara".
The entertainment
is based on strong content with social benefits for family viewing.
The pace is suitable to gradually declining attention span of the
viewers where the lags are eliminated without sacrificing the
strength of the content. UNUM depends on strong technical talent
that is suited for the content. Cast is carefully chosen to fulfill
the mission. Team work is the name of the game and those that don't
fit are bypassed.
The founders, Rao
Chalasani and Purna Chalasani, live in the U.S., Rao Chalasani was a
well recognized Wall Street veteran for 25 years. He was the chief
investment strategist of First Union Securities (later renamed
Wachovia Securities) and was regular on national TV and press
commenting on the economy and financial markets. Rao decided to
spend most of his time on India related causes and left Wall Street
on August 15, 2000. Purna Chalasani is a physician and works as a
Psychiatrist. She actively supports Rao in his endeavors to promote
India related projects. UNUM Creations draws volunteer help in
developing the content and infrastructure. UNUM owes gratitude to
several good hearted people helping in India related projects.

Baja Tempeh Tacos WITHOUT CILANTRO
This requires a deep breath to mutter, but sometimes I wish I was a fan of cilantro. I wish I didn't have to dramatically avoid it. Why wouldn't I want to a) stop the name-calling and pitying eye rolling from its devotees and b) live as a fan of this vibrant green herb that's essential to Mexican, Indian, Korean, Thai cuisine and more? Alas, I'm a hater. Yeah, yeah, I can handle it meddled into jarred salsas and curries, I guess, but sprinkle on the fresh stuff and I can't eat my food. My mouth will not open and I will start gagging if it unknowingly comes remotely close to my nose or mouth.
To clarify: it doesn't taste like soap, it tastes like shit. I'll pick it off my food if I must, but I would prefer to pass, or run, in the opposite direction. I can quickly think of two recent "no cilantro, please" examples where, sure enough, my order came with cilantro and I was physically unable to continue with my meal. There's a certain food cart I've taken a leave of absence from. Very recently, I picked sporadic crisps of cilantro off a slice of pizza and it was a tough go. Generous doses of sriracha and hunger helped. My cilantro-loving dinner companions luck out. I clearly didn't eat much Mexican food (with the non-exception of boring bean, cheese and lettuce tacos from the bell) growing up, because I wasn't fully aware of this hatred until my move to Portland in 2004 and introduction to West Coast burritos. What's this new herb I'm trying? – Oh wait, I DESPISE IT.
In my own cooking, I substitute a whole lot of fresh basil – especially Thai basil in Southeast Asian dishes, shiso, mint and oregano leaves. And if I must (more freely in recent years of culinary sanity), dried coriander. I'm not going to put some crazy hope into the growth of my taste buds or building up a tolerance when I'm Thailand later this year or going to make up stories about my evolution as a so-called super-taster – who knows! What I do know is that it is possible to enjoy fresh tacos without the dreaded c herb – you simply need fresh ingredients and a little something special, like mango. Which yeah, would probably be even 'better' with cilantro, but that's (perhaps) you, and not me. Even when, ironically, there is a leftover bundle of said herb in my fridge, courtesy of my dear house guests. Little did my friend know that this plant was my enemy and by bringing it forth into my house, a look of fear would take over my normally smiling face. The things we learned at our reunion!
What I'm saying is, it's such an ON/OFF switch ingredient, and I wish it was labelled more often. I'm looking at you, cilantro pesto.
Just sayin'
A Brunch in the Life: Tempeh Benedict with Butternut Hollandaise
It's not very often that I find myself making brunch anymore. It's a little sad, but I'm usually heading here or there and grabbing coffee on the way, or meeting friends for brunch at Tube or Hungry Tiger Too, knowing my routine. This weekend, however, was practically a countdown to when I could break out the butternut hollandaise again. I had made it earlier in the week to pair with pecan breaded tofu, and yesterday became the official day to re-acquaint myself with a vegan Benedict. It was everything I was aiming for, which incorporated Diner Tempeh Patties from American Vegan Kitchen into the rest of the elements of a Tofu Benedict ala Vegan Brunch.
As for the Butternut Hollandaise, 1/2 cup of roasted butternut squash and 1/2 head of roasted garlic were added into the saucepan before it was pureed and warmed once more. The complete Benedict plate has a toasted multi-grain English muffin, diner-style homefries, sliced tomato sprinkled with Alder smoked salt, a baked tempeh patty, hollandaise, and a side of straight up roasted broccoli.
Late in the season tomatoes and peppers from the Saturday farmers market:
I'll miss them so. Onto a winter of roasted red peppers, which brings us back to the Saturday farmers market in Portland on a very nice day come fall & winter…
A Lunch in the life: Cafe Yumm & Library Books
On my walk back from Cafe Yumm yesterday, I had the grand realization that it was the best thing to happen to my lunch hour in quite some time.
That's an ambitious statement, and it's taken a few visits to get into the swing of things, so insert the following qualifying factors:
- Easily transportable – particularly, the self-contained bowls
- Super duper quick, for there or to go – VEGAN FAST FOOD.
- Specifically handy when the farmers markets are closed in the colder months
- Location: it's in walking distance to my office and alongside PSU
- Right on the MAX Green Line
- Rather nutritious offerings
- There's sometimes extra avocado offered for vegans – Yay! (often the same at The Whole Bowl – Is it standard? Random? Often forgotten? I don't know).
Three silly things I don't like:
- The diced tomatoes are consistently bland and blah.
- Chewy tofu: stick to the tempeh! I don't think I've ever specifically avoided tofu somewhere before.
- All the college students: totally silly, selfish annoyance. I left Boston for a reason.
Tempeh Skewer Bento with Ginger Asian Slaw, Jasmine Rice and Yumm Sauce (and Tapatio, of course)
I'm also become a fan of the Yumm! N Greens, Jazzy Bowl and Edamame Bowl.
After lunch, I stopped by the Central Library to pick up my hold (full disclosure: I'm giving the first season of Fringe another shot) and browse the cookbook section. I was there for French cuisine, but the vegetarian/vegan section never fails to catch my interest:
The full section:
Not sure if you want to buy a book? Check it out! Check. It. Out.

A Day in the Life: Paradox Memories
Last night, I met my friends for a productive dinner at Paradox Cafe. A few years ago, Paradox seemed to be hands down, the restaurant I visited the most in Portland. I lived in the Sunnyside neighborhood and was there regularly, often deciding between corn and 4-grain pancakes or rice and roasted potatoes on the old early bird list.
It's amusing to look back on, and to have ever complained about, but it was one of the few places an old boyfriend of mine would ever dine at. I ordered a whole lot of those pancakes and would anticipating the changing of the seasonal decor and menu. On the bright side, dining at Paradox so often let me actually make my way through the menu. There are so many memories of brunches with old friends in the blue booths, casual dinners, and for some reason – I'm blaming a self-imposed fad in my early 20s?!? – drinking cups and cups of decaf coffee with a little pitcher of soymilk.
These days, I don't go as often as I'd like, maybe a few times a year – it's Portland and I live in a different neighborhood – yet, I've gladly dined there twice in the past week. First, it was to reacquaint myself with a classic Portland breakfast (for dinner, even better) for Breakfast in Bridgetown, and the other was last night.
One of my favorite friends was working (who should comment if they want to be outed!) and I have to say, it seems like new management has brought changes for the even-better in the past year or so. For starters, "nooch" was on the specials board last week, and the menu looks more versatile – both in selections and pricing. They've added Field Roast sausages, more tempeh, and still have those great pancakes. I should really visit more often…
A Few Days in the Life; Last Month: The Vegan Vacation in LA
First time. Los Angeles. Vacation. Tourist Sights. Vegan Foodz.
Every time I start to tell the stories of my short vacation in Los Angeles, I start squealing about catching up with an old friend, or dramatically demonstrating how I threw out my back on the morning of the last day – so, I'll let the photos do the talking.
The Top 5 Highlights:
1) The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.
I find myself telling my friend and co-organizer on a couple different projects, Michele, "Thank You!" on an average of 3 times a week, it not daily, and this recommendation deserved a big one. Casual vegan sushi at Taiyo and big laughs at UCB made for a fun evening.
2) Flore Cafe. A small part of me wanted to wake up and brunch outside this cafe every day. If only I were that cool… Photos below. More coming.
3) Intelligentsia Cofffeebar. Located at the Silver Lake junction, the Chicago-based roaster clearly boasts great coffee (vacation = lattes), endless hipster eye candy and a shaded patio to enjoy both with their wireless, where I often planned my next stop.
4) Sunglasses and simultaneous young coconut consumption. If I had glimpsed cool kids sipping other tropical fruits walking down the street, I'm sure I would have tried that, too. I know, it happens elsewhere, but this was like 3 girls, 3 blocks.
5) Late night vegan pizza delivery. What do you do when you've already deemed the vegan restaurant attached to your hotel inedible and you're beat? Thank you, Cruzer Pizza delivery!
Runner Up: Seeing people reading scripts in public. I only saw this twice, once on the subway (which was handy!) and once on the bus (again, handy and easy?!?), but it cracked me up, both times. No offense. I love television.
The Photos & Foodz
Obligatory Sight-seeing.
Necessary star power. Not the one I posed with.
Graffiti-orientated sight-seeing.
There's always been something eerie about Mickey Mouse.
Schoolyard Graffiti!
Is this a real landmark? I don't know. Palm trees and a dinosaur were enough for me.
Vegan-friendly Silverlake: where I didn't go…
As much as it pains me not to visit a cafe that shares a name with one of my favorite friends, there just wasn't enough time…
Options, options, options.
Aforementioned pizza delivery:
Ordering was a bit odd, but quick. I'm glad I went for the "extra crispy" (Italians use quotes) crust. Not sure why that meant overcooked seitan sausage bits, but the rest was tasty — and delivered to my door! in 20-something minutes!!
Again, this one can be filed under the worst vegan food in LA & a dumb reason to book an adjoined (but quite cheap & decent) hotel: Vegan House.
My first meal..or should I say..bites of a meal, really blew, even for $4.99 "Happy Hour" fair. The order was bland, messed up, most of the vegetables were worrisome, the 'chicken' was mushy, and there were multiple pieces of hair. Negativity over.
In Silverlake, but sadly, encountered closed up:
Down West Sunset Blvd:
That whole Flore brunch thing I was talking about: buckwheat pancakes, blueberry sauce, tempeh bacon.
Inside Flore:
I was terrified of how under-toasted this bread appeared – and somehow, some noochy tofu, tempeh and avocado combining way, this was a kick ass BLT – with a side of fresh fruit, to boot. Kudos, Flore.
And kudos, sprouts.
Flore Deli Case:
I had just visited a Veggie Grill days before in Irvine, and was happy to come across one again. If this is the future of mainstream veganism, we're gonna be all right*.
*Which is, admittedly, a much longer conversation about mainstream veganism and society.
It's so…normal. And refreshing. And fast. Throw some of these into America, STAT.
Cajun Tempeh Burger. I don't normally find myself saying such things, but I even really liked the citrusy slaw!
Inside the V to the G
I almost bought half price tickets to see Tim Allen and grunt the night away, but somehow, I resisted…
Instead, UCB! And here's their neighbor – a freaking conscious convenience store.
Back to Silverlake – pictured because I really liked that they advertise their guacamole like so. How inviting.
Oh look, another vegetarian restaurant. This is getting exhausting.
And another that I actually visited: Pure Luck. Sweet service and pickle chips. Boring wrap. Why talk about anything else?
Half pickles/Half fries plate
Spring Rolls. Served fresh.
Scoops = mini vegan ice cream mecca = vacant shoppe = who cares, I was coaxed into sampling every flavor (okay, 4? 5?).
Vegan selections of the day included Salted Chocolate, Pomegranate Blueberry, Coconut Mocha and Banana Oreo.
Light & Creamy Banana Oreo with some fixin's
I clearly caught this employee shirtless ?!? and dancing in the back…Sorry!
Fairly befuddling.
If I hadn't come across Bar Keeper on my last day of vacation, lamenting that I'd already spent too much, I would have spent even more at this kitschy cocktail supplies store.
Be still, my heart. Be still, my nose. New spices and Coconut Bali Smoked salt won out over vintage cocktail stirrers and exotic bitters. Not that shocking.
Inside Spice Station:
Now, this is vacationing.
And back to reality…

Sony has announced that its "Playstation TV" game console is coming this fall for $99 dollars. You'll be able to pair the little box with your Playstation Four, allowing you to play your PS-4 game on a second television in your home. It will give you access to video and music streaming services, and will also give you the ability to play hundreds of games through it's log-in service, Playstation Now.
Netflix is easing up on its finger-pointing that blamed Verizon and other internet service providers for problems with its streaming speeds. The decision follows a legal threat by Verizon last week. Netflix says providers including Verizon and Comcast aren't doing enough to deliver content fast enough.
And, a new piece of jewelry could keep you from missing a call. There's a new smart-ring that can let you know when you have an important call coming in. It's called Ringly. It's a beautiful stone that buzzes and lights up when you get a call, text, or even when someone likes your Instagram. You can use the ring's app to design your alerts, so you'll know who's calling by the color or buzz on your ring. It runs on a battery and comes with an app for both IOS and Android. Rings are priced at $145 dollars and will ship this fall. To order one, go to ringly.com.

Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, my mother makes two different kinds of dip. One is an onion dip, made by combining a tub of sour cream and a packet of onion soup mix. The other is a beef dip which I think is just warm pastrami all chopped up and combined with uh, another tub of sour cream? Whatever it is, it's sheer insanely delicious meat-magic for your insides. My mom makes them because her mom used to make them.
She serves the onion one with ridged potato chips and the beef one with Fritos (I KNOW RIGHT?), though I can attest that, in a pinch, chips are not required to enjoy them. She got the recipes from her mom, who also made both dips for the holidays. That's right — it's a family dipdition, sat-fat style. Zero shame in that game. Keep reading »

Here are a few additional thoughts on some Instagram photos I recently posted.
Sometimes, I make amazing choices that benefit my health. Sometimes, I make amazing choices that benefit my mental health.
As I checked out with these four items in tow, the cashier said "You must have had a hard day. But you're about to have a great night."
Tru dat.
What's your go-to comfort purchase?
This is my friend Hannah and her brand new daughter, Adelaide. A is one month old and weighs FOURTEEN POUNDS. Can I tell you something? All babies are beautiful, BUT fat babies win the prize. Having recently eaten with three new moms, I've noticed how anxious they can get in public. The potential for screaming and pooping and drooling is high which is rare in a restaurant (unless the joint serves happy hour wings.)
These parents apologized because their babies whimpered or slept or didn't sleep or needed feeding. One even said "I'm sorry he wasn't more entertaining." I want to publicly ask for forgiveness if I ever made a mothering friend feel nervous about how their baby may perform. This isn't a soundstage on a studio lot, it's Chick-Fil-A. Your kid can cry.
Are you an anxious mom? Are you someone who makes a mom anxious?
Do you have a Jimmy John's where you live? There are more than 2,000 so let's pretend you do. They sell "day-old" bread for $0.50 every day. The best part is they consider "day-old" to be anything older than four hours. Hence this delicious cinnamon french toast. JJ's even has a Pinterest board full of recipes for this slightly aged masterpiece.
What's your favorite fast food restaurant?
My bathroom just got shiny new tile floors and a gorgeous new commode. Can I tell you how much I love that toilet? With its elongated bowl and water efficiency. Adulthood. However, the color of the tile was more beige and less gray than I expected so painting the walls seemed necessary. I prepped the room, taped the trim, set down drop cloths, picked out a cute paint shirt and got to work. That lasted 20 minutes. I'm 5'2"-ish. I can't.
Thankfully, Katherine from Grass Stains offered to paint the room in exchange for cake pops.
What would you do for me in exchange for cake pops?

The Post About Why The Internet is Not The Worst
I took the summer off from blogging. Now I'm back.
Enough about that.
Often, the Internet can be a pot to boil all of our bitter and our furrowed brows and the steam that rises is SO DRAMATIC.
However, the Internet can be better than that. Learning and sharing and connecting.
The Internet is where I learned:
- Jessie J can actually sing.
- I should enable two-factor authentication on important accounts so my nude photos** don't get hacked.
- Why we have eyebrows.
- How to pluck perfect eyebrows.
**cloud pics
The Internet is where I shared:
- The best part of the recent Emmy Awards ceremony.
- Bill Cosby's response to Victoria Osteen's comments about God's greatest goal for us.
- Ann Voskamp's eloquent words about what the church should about suicide and depression.
- A goat who may or may not be me in the first grade.
The Internet is where I connected to:
What has the Internet done for you lately?

The Post About Restless Rabbits: Week Three
Let's chat about what we've read this week. OR if you haven't read - there are still some great questions to discuss from chapter eight through thirteen of Restless by Jennie Allen.
But first...our small group snack. My friend Elizabeth Hyndman posts her Friday Five each week and it's always full of goodness. This fella was stuck in the Las Vegas airport alone and made the most of his overnight stay with his iPhone rigged to a suitcase.
All by myself from Richard Dunn on Vimeo.
Now to our reading.
In these chapters, Jennie presents up "The Threads." She sets up the process of identifying the components of our story that mix and mingle to paint the picture of our purpose.
Here are questions to ponder. Answer as few or as many as you like in the comments.
What do you most hope to get out of the process of reading Restless?
Our IRL group shared many answers of what they were looking for:
- clarity
- focus
- reduced fear of change
- ability to get off the sideline
It can be difficult to step out to pursue our purpose because comfort will keep us content. Or at least that's true for me. For me, I'm looking to sit more at ease in this season of waiting. I'm not great at "at ease."
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
This is a question Sheryl Sandberg asks in her fantastic book "Lean In." My favorite discussion in our IRL group was how we often think of all the obstacles to living a dream - like finances, caring for parents, having young children. However, I must remember that thought process points straight to my arrogance to think I'm in control or that God won't care for the things I think only I can manage.
If I weren't afraid, I would write and train full time. That's as far as I've gotten because I don't know what to do to make that happen. To be continued...
Identify a highlight from each life stage when you felt pleasure in what you were doing. When were moments you remember being proud and satisfied.
There are so many and I WOULD ADORE IT if you would share in the comments. For me, my first memory is being 5 years old in the community pool meeting Gretchen Davis for the first time. She said she would be in Mrs. Dodd's kindergarten class in the comings weeks and I was THRILLED because that was my assignment too. Feeling connected immediately made me feel less afraid. I now can see how I really enjoy meeting new people and making connections. It's also the foundation for my passion for social media - so many new people with whom to connect.
Now, get thee to the comments and share your answers and thoughts. Also, feel free to email me at jamiesrabbits @ gmail.com for some one-on-one.
This week's reading assignment: Chapters 14-18.
We're still trekking through our Threads. Write down anything that wrecks you or confuses you and we'll chat it through on next week's post.
