Peaceful Mountain Jungle Wildlife Sunset vacation
This is our second trip to Costa Rica and to this house- once just wasn't enough after experiencing the most relaxing vacation with unbeatable views, wildlife at your doorstep, an impeccably designed, built and furnished home. The pictures of the house are right on, if not even understating how amazing it is in person. The new palapa is great for morning coffee and bird watching, a great addition to an already ideal spot! The pool is unbeatable, it is hard to imagine a reason to leave the house, but if you do, you won't regret it. The beaches are great, ventanas and Leonora beach club, amazing restaurants (citrus & exotica) and plenty of activities if you want them (Corcovado rainforest tour, OSA zip lining, horse rides). Did I mention the daily toucans & howler monkeys at the house and the ocelot we saw tonight on our way home from dinner? Amazing! The year rounders here on the mountain, the Hamilton's, are great should you need anything, and the owners are also great! Renting a car locally is a must, a rugged manual preferably, and getting here from San Jose is a decent trek (hire a driver!) but it is all so worth it! Hopefully this won't be our last visit to this magical hidden gem in a still un-touristy part of CR!
Perfect location and layout!
We love to stay in different area of Costa Rica. Unfortunately, we just can't help ourselves. Every trip has to include a week at Casa de Ventanas. The location is perfect. It is an easy drive (and I do not say this lightly in Costa Rica!) to activities and parks on the west coast. If you are wondering where the really terrific restaurants are in Costa Rica-- Ojochal, just down the road. Citrus is outstanding. Don't miss the passion fruit sorbet concoction at Exotica for dessert. There are fishing tours, multiple excellent canopy tours, fab beaches, a wonderful horseback/waterfall tour, nature preserves, eco-tours, surfing, and much more. Every morning we got up early so as not to miss what were often dozens of toucans in the trees around the rancho. Every evening we swim in the pool overlooking the ocean. Howler monkeys are all over the area. Down by the property waterfall, our guests watched coatimundi playing. We have taken friends the last two trips and they have also vowed to return. The beautiful casa is perfect for families and couples. The master bedroom is on one side of the house and 2 additional bedrooms on the other end. Every bedroom has an en suite bath. Everything you need to grill your fresh caught fish or make tall frozen drinks is on hand. The grocery is close by. We stayed in other casas in the area before finding this one. Before you select a place, ask about the drive up the mountains. This casa is only a few minutes drive, you do not have to ford any streams in your vehicle to get there (often the case) and the roads are well kept and wider than many -- allowing two way traffic. Management is great and it is nice to have free skype and internet if you need it to touch base with home. You'll definitely want a mountain view and breezes. Casas on the beach can get quite hot. If you are looking for a resort with lots of crowds and chain restaurants, this place is not for you! This is a fantastic casa in the middle of all the nature and people the make Costa Rica so incredible!
Jungle Paradise
Even the 'locals' call this place paradise. Apart from the challenging four wheel drive up the rough road, our experience was anything but "roughing it". Pearched on the side of the mountain this luxurious villa delivers every promise made. Being able to share the jungle home of so many creatures and in so much comfort is quite unique. Add to this the peace and majesty of altitiude together with an astonishing panaramic view makes one feel unrealistically isolated. However, peppered around the same mountainside is a fraternity of similar oases, so that one never needs to be alone. A quick descent in the 4WD brings one back into the hustle and bustle of civilization. Plenty of small good restaurants to savour the healthy fresh fish and fruits whilst enjyoing the friendly,courteous Costa Rican manner. My wife and I ( both seniors) found the experience as one of the nicest in our travels.

Eileen Fisher Short-Sleeve Linen Sweater - Regular 4 4
Lovely styling but thin I really like the way this knit is styled, a bit dressier than most. I felt that the white was thinner than I wanted. Other colors were sold out, so I could not manage an exchange. June 19, 2014
Best Purchase Ever A stylish linen sweater. Beautiful blue color I got. It's perfect for work or weekend. just as relaxed but a bit more refined. It's truly a easygoing silhouette — soft V-neck, cap sleeves, shirttail hem. Perfect..... June 19, 2014
wanted to love it I wanted one of the blue colors, but only white was available. Oh my! It was very sheer, so very sheer. It went back. However, the fit was perfect. So disappointed. June 16, 2014
Love, love, love Eileen Fisher! Her colors are great, the fit is great and the material is great. What more can I say? June 10, 2014

Union BankTallahassee, Florida
Completed in 1841 when Florida was still a territory, The Union Bank is the state's oldest surviving bank building. Chartered to help finance local cotton plantations, it ultimately closed because of crop failures, the Second Seminole War, and poor management. After the Civil War, it reopened as the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company for emancipated slaves and later served several other functions. In 1971, the Bank was moved from its original site. After restoration, it was opened as a museum in 1984, furnished with artifacts and reproductions from the territorial period.

Hoffman Lends A Most Wanted Man Gravity
By Alan Scherstuhl
Robert De Niro's alarm must have finally gone off — in Stone, the actor seems more awake than he has been in years. De Niro is Jack, a prison corrections officer who, abandoning all professional and common sense, foolishly screws himself by screwing Lucetta (Milla Jovovich), the wife of corn-rowed arsonist inmate Stone (Edward Norton), whose parole case he must soon rule upon. Jack's failing is nominally one of the flesh, yet it's spiritual and moral deep-rot that truly plagues him, with AM-dial Christian radio blather providing an incessant backdrop for both Jack and Stone's dual quests for deliverance. Director John Curran's sure hand is most evident in precredit intro passages that create unnerving dissonance from jumps among locations, time periods, and incidents as well as in an atonal soundscape of undulating chimes, drones, and overly symbolic bee buzzes. However, despite a restrained, internalized performance by De Niro that refuses to turn Jack into an aged version of Cape Fear's Max Cady, as well as Norton taking a hoary, rough-neck caricature and infusing him with unexpected blissed-out tranquility, the B-movie-tawdry and unpersuasive plotting undercuts the material's sober concerns about sin and salvation. At odds with its own lofty and base instincts, Stone ultimately channels neither compellingly.

New Orleans-Style Recipes for Families
Mardi Gras (also known as Fat Tuesday) is a wonderful excuse to try New Orleans dishes – like jambalaya and gumbo – and flavors at your dinner table!
(page 1 of 7)
Colorful. Crazy. Over the top. Those are just a few ways to describe Mardi Gras celebrations. This year, Mardi Gras falls on Tuesday, March 4. Translated, Mardi Gras means, "Fat Tuesday" (i.e. time to fill up on rich foods!) in French and marks the end of a celebration season called Carnival. While Mardi Gras is celebrated in various places throughout the world, New Orleans is known best for their parades, festivities and food. Introduce your family to the flavors of New Orleans with these recipes. Make sure to save room for the traditional king cake for dessert. It's baked with a plastic toy inside – and the person who gets the slice with the toy is thought to have good luck for the rest of the year.

Waste, fraud in Iraq put all eyes on DoD contracting
When the Defense Department began contingency contracting operations on a large-scale in Iraq in 2003 it was largely a trial by fire. Despite the best planning, DoD lacked the programs and practical solutions to handle the environment, officials say. Since then, commissions, panels and lawmakers have offered fixes and DoD has evolved to try to create "rock-solid" reforms. Federal News Radio examines these issues in the next part of our series, Inside the World's Biggest Buyer.

In seven December games, including the Wizards' 102-72 blowout loss to the Miami Heat on Saturday night, Beal is averaging 14.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
On Saturday, when going head-to-head with Lebron James and Dwayne Wade, Beal managed to score 19 points to lead the Wizards in scoring.
Unfortunately, Beal his just six of his 18 attempts from the floor in the process.
Beal has struggled shooting the ball during his first NBA season. The 6'4'' guard that played at Chaminade Prep is shooting just 35.9 percent from the field this season.
Beal is even worst from behind the arc, hitting on just 31.4 percent of his attempts.
If Beal wants to develop into the Pro many think he can be, he will need to improve upon his offensive efficiency. He will need to knock down more shots, more often without turning the ball over.
Beal has the talent and it is obvious. He just needs to hit the bottom of the net more often.

Man in the Shadow
Description: Man in the Shadow is a better-than-usual Albert Zugsmith production starring Jeff Chandler as the newly appointed lawman in a corrupt southwestern town. A Mexican laborer has been murdered, a crime which powerful land baron Orson Welles wants the sheriff to ignore. Chandler bucks Welles' wishes and investigates the killing, with the trail of evidence leading inexorably to Welles...but what's the motive? Man in the Shadow is unimportant enough on its own, but the fact that it was produced at all would have a far-reaching effect on cinematic history. It was during shooting of this western that producer Albert Zugsmith and actor Orson Welles agreed to collaborate on the Welles-directed masterpiece Touch of Evil (58).~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Forget Facebook, Morgan Stanley Can't Trade Its Way Out of a Paper Bag
Updated with information on brokerage venture, layoffs and CEO comments.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Morgan Stanley's (MS) big second quarter earnings miss is a result of abysmal trading figures and not a botched initial public offering of Facebook (FB) shares. Given the second quarter results, the bank's strategy of exiting some trading businesses in favor of its underwriting and wealth management prowess will come under scrutiny.
Earnings at the nation's sixth largest bank by assets were weighed by far weaker than expected debt and equity trading results, and a two-notch ratings downgrade by Moody's, which propelled profits from continuing operations nearly 80% lower from the first quarter.
Morgan Stanley reported total trading revenue of just $2.9 billion and earnings of $158 million missing analyst estimates, as rating downgrades and a withdrawal of client activity likely precipitated the sharp profit drop. "These results are clearly very disappointing, however MS was facing a potential downgrade by Moody's during the quarter, and that likely impacted their trading revenues," wrote UBS analyst Brennan Hawken, in a note to clients.The bank reported adjusted earnings per share of 16 cents and revenue of $6.6 billion, missing estimates as overall trading revenue tumbled on a year-over-year and sequential basis. Analysts polled by Bloomberg expected Morgan Stanley to earn 29 cents in adjusted earnings per share on $7.6 billion in revenue. Including accounting gains on the bank's rising credit spreads, Morgan Stanley earned 28 cents in EPS, missing expectations of 51 cents but reversing a first quarter loss. In the first quarter, Morgan Stanley's trading unit -- called Institutional Securities -- reported adjusted revenue of $5 billion and a profit of $1.7 billion, driving its big earnings beat . The unit's second quarter weakness resulted from fixed income trading revenue of just $770 million that was roughly half of UBS analyst Hawken's projections and equities trading revenue of $1.1 billion, which also fell short of expectations. Still, Morgan Stanley's investment banking revenue of $884 million, was in-line with expectations, signaling that Moody's late June ratings downgrade cast a larger pall over earnings than the negative publicity that the bank received for its underwriting of Facebook's May 18 share listing. With earnings overwhelmed by a big trading drop, Nomura Securities analyst Glenn Schorr wrote that it was "hard to pick out too many positives," citing investment banking earnings and pretax margin improvements in wealth management as highlights. "Results disappointed on a sharp decline in fixed income trading," wrote Wells Fargo analyst Matthew Burnell. A key question now is whether Morgan Stanley's trading weakness is a one-time miss or an indication of lasting issues. For instance, Moody's ratings downgrade was estimated to impact Morgan Stanley more than competitors because the bank doesn't hold much of its derivatives trading operations in a higher rated subsidiary that would soften the financial impact of cuts. As a result of the downgrade, Morgan Stanley posted $6.3 billion in additional collateral and other payments as part of trading agreements with its counterparties -- primarily in derivatives trading. The bank said that $2.9 billion was called and posted at June 30, 2012, just over a week after Moody's downgraded the bank's rating to Baa1. On an earnings call with investors, Morgan Stanley CFO said that downgrade hit trading revenue by an estimated $225 million "Having that ratings action addressed, now having clarity on it and having that uncertainty gone, we're seeing real relief among clients. Clients have re-engaged," she said. Credit Suisse analysts led by Howard Chen expected Morgan Stanley's trading operations to earn $2.5 billion of core revenue, amid a sharp drop in equity and debt trading revenue, which puts it far behind competitors like Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan (JPM) and Citigroup (C) with second quarter trading results that generally beat expectations. Morgan Stanley's earnings miss also clouds progress on core initiatives like its push into brokerage operations. The bank reported improving margins at its Morgan Stanley Smith Barney brokerage unit and $3.3 billion in revenue, slightly beating estimates. Overall, the unit's profits rose over 20% to $393 million, on a year-over-year basis. Many were watching for improving margins at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney as a key to second quarter earnings. "The Morgan Stanley story has been an execution story for a long time," said Morningstar analyst Michael Wong, citing the company's push into brokerage and wealth management businesses, in an interview prior to earnings. "I will be concentrating on where operating margins are going," added Wong. The unit's margin's increased to 12.1%, indicating progress as the bank continues to fall short of 20% margins that it projected when entering the brokerage joint venture with Citigroup (C) in 2009.

It's easy to miss this quiet town on the way to the beach. But when you stop, the colorful characters who bend your ear make you quite thankful you did.
Driving to the beach, Columbia is the geographic equivalent of the 4 a.m. hour, idly positioned in the space just before most of us wake up. The town is on the eastern wrist of U.S. Highway 64, two hours east of Raleigh and an hour east of Interstate 95, yet 40 miles short of the beach. It is in the blank. For most of the more than 1 million cars that pass through here every year on their way to the Outer Banks, Columbia is the snooze button: Wake us up when we get there.
It is the last town before you reach the Alligator River, although alligator sightings are rare. The area surrounding it is the only place in the country where you can find red wolves still roaming in the wild, although the man who runs the wildlife center has only seen three there. For years, the most celebrated time of the year was spring, when the red herring charged down the Scuppernong River in millions, pushing a wave in front of them, meeting their end in local fishermen's nets and selling for a penny a pound. Today the herring is an endangered species.
Columbia is the only town in Tyrrell County, the least populated of all of North Carolina's 100 counties. Nearly 9 out of every 10 acres is protected for wildlife. A full 40 percent of all traffic accidents in this county are caused by animals in the roadway. The area sits low, at sea level, and weather affects more change than people. A wildfire in 2008 singed the tops of the loblolly pines. Last August, Hurricane Irene lifted the Scuppernong River five feet, flooding everything downtown, including the increasingly recognizable arts school. The townspeople shrugged and wrung themselves out, tipping their hats to nature.
Today the water has receded, businesses are reopened, and you would never notice that a flood occurred here, especially if there's a good song on the radio when you drive on through.
If only you'd stop.
If only you'd take a moment to consider the things you pass on the way to someplace else. To know the people you brush past. To learn about the things in your periphery. To consider people like the man you might meet one night in Columbia, a man talking to a catfish.
He is fishing on the Scuppernong. It is 7:30 p.m., and as the sun sets, violet stretches out above him and the frogs begin to sing behind him. His name is Wendell Fenner, you learn, and despite the fact that he is talking to a fish, he is far from crazy.
Fenner grew up in Columbia. His mom taught school, and his dad worked in the timber business. Fenner attended high school during segregation, and he graduated from the black high school in town in 1966. He went on to North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro and then moved north to become an environmental engineer. He's retired now and living in New Jersey, but he's in town for a family reunion when you meet him. About 150 people from the Fenner bloodline attend the reunion every year on the old homestead, 150 people who love coming back here. When you meet him, Fenner has his right hand down a catfish's throat. The fish swallowed the hook into its belly. Fenner can't retrieve the hook, and it breaks. Fenner gently drops the fish back in the river and hopes it lives.
"It's a shame to like to fish and to hate to hurt the fish," Fenner says.
For 30 minutes, Fenner stands and fishes while you sit on the bench behind him, the U.S. Highway 64 bridge in the distance. He's a conservative fisherman, using only half a worm each time he baits the hook. He is one of several people still fishing in the dark, trying to pull something from the oil-colored Scuppernong.
He tells you that his senior class had 26 students. No football team. He had to beg people to play basketball. He remembers when the first stoplight was installed. But he has no ax for his small-town upbringing.
"Oh," he says, "this is a great place."
Just then his bobber vanishes under the water. Another bite. Another catfish. This time a baby.
"What are you doing here?" Fenner asks the little catfish dangling from the end of his line. "It's past your bedtime."
Then without much warning Fenner simply says he is done. He packs his gear and walks a path in the woods to his car, a gentle and quiet man leaving the river as he'd found it.
The frogs sing louder. The only other noises are made by the cars passing on by, crossing the Scuppernong on the bridge, a continuous flow of people on their way to the beach, plunking on the expansion joints — da-dum, da-dum, da-dum — never knowing that on the shoreline below them an engineer has been talking to the catfish.
Bears, wolves, and people
When you pass through Columbia, downtown is on the north side of the road, and on the south side is woodland, miles and miles and miles of woodland. Everything else is water.
The Scuppernong River — an offshoot of the Albemarle Sound, located just five miles north — is dark and acidic because of the tannins released from the surrounding soils. Despite its appearance it is far cleaner than most clear rivers. The Scuppernong is the only reason the town is here. It is a deep river, 25 feet in spots, and it allowed for massive freight vessels to come through during the 19th and 20th centuries. One of those, a 112-foot steamer named the Estelle Randall, caught fire and sank just off the dock downtown in 1910. It still sits there in the black water.
The county was founded in the 1700s and named for Sir John Tyrrell, one of the Lords Proprietors. At the time, the county included land from Roanoke Island to Tarboro. As Tyrrell County was downsized, Columbia (founded in 1793) became the lone remaining town and, thus, the county seat. Today almost anybody from Tyrrell County also considers himself to be from Columbia.
Columbia was a singular town for many years — one doctor, one lawyer, one pharmacy, one main road. But in the late 1990s, the state built a new, four-lane section of U.S. Highway 64. For a few years two bridges led into town — the old bridge that came into Main Street and the current bridge that still serves as the main passageway. The old bridge was torn down about a decade ago, and the new road is all that remains.
That road is as important to Columbia as the river now; Highway 64 is one of only two roads to the Outer Banks, serving most of the traffic that comes from the west and south. Columbia has made various attempts to steer some of the traffic into town. The Pocosin Arts Folk School is a well-respected school, centering on projects that incorporate local culture and nature. And a few restaurants, including Flemz and Columbia Crossing, are good for eating quick bites among locals. The biggest draw is a winery, Vineyards on the Scuppernong, which sprang up in 2008 on the north side of 64. The owners of the vineyards put a sign on the side of the building this year, "Winery," and business has doubled. Across the highway, the Pocosin Wildlife Refuge and Columbia Visitors Center provide maps of some of the more than 70 miles of unmarked gravel roads in the wilderness that are open to the public. The Partnership for the Sounds, an organization that helps promote this rural area, runs the visitors center.
That partnership is devoted to a section of the state few people know — the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula, a swampy expanse caught between two sounds. The Pamlico Sound to the east and south is, by its proximity to the ocean, dense with salt water. The Albemarle is more concentrated with freshwater. Together the two sounds and their tributaries produce 90 percent of the state's seafood crop and form the second-largest estuary in the country.
The region's black bear population is one of the densest (nearly three per square mile) in the country and in recorded scientific literature, says Howard Phillips, refuge manager of the Pocosin Lakes Wildlife Refuge." Two endearing animals — the red wolf and the red-cockaded woodpecker — are protected species. When it rains, frogs cover the roadways. On sunny days, your car is likely to approach a walking quail or dove or wild turkey, only to watch them take flight to avoid being flattened.
This landscape is one of the most diversely populated in the state, human or otherwise.
A herring story
A man from Hong Kong owns a restaurant in Columbia named Mike's Kitchen. Mike Lam wanted to name it after his wife — the love of his life, the mother of his four children — but she said no.
"Because if it's not good," she told him, "then it'll be your name on it."
Lam grew up in Hong Kong. His wife, Jennifer, grew up in a port town in China. They both remember eating fish for breakfast. One of those fish was herring, and it was served with a potato side that looked like grits.
Lam's dad moved his family to Kansas when Lam was 10. Lam moved to the Outer Banks after high school and owned a Chinese restaurant there for 25 years. In 1990, Lam visited family in China. He met Jennifer on the trip. He spent three days with her and proposed marriage. He came back to the United States, acquired a visa for her, and they married on the beach six months later.
They ran the Chinese restaurant together and started a family. Lam then sold real estate for eight years. But in 2008, they grew tired of the ocean and decided to migrate 40 miles inland to this town along the Scuppernong River and the highway that led to the beaches where they'd once made their home.
"The sounds are so much prettier," Lam says. Point being, they'd lived around the world but decided to stop in Columbia.
When they moved here, Lam felt right at home. A generation ago, most Tyrrell County locals ate herring, back when the fish wasn't an endangered species here. Lam remembered it from his childhood, too. So he sought herring from other states and now has regular shipments coming in aboard trucks that turn off Highway 64. On a menu of mostly fresh seafood, the salt herring dish with stewed potatoes is the one off-the-menu item that you can't taste unless you know to ask.
"That's the tradition here," Lam says.
Lam speaks fluent English — he even pronounces Tyrrell County correctly (Terrell) — but he talks with a bit of a whistle. He explains: He doesn't like picking steamed crabs, so he bites into them instead, shell and all, and he's broken a few teeth that way. He'll have implants installed soon. For all the traditions he embraces, for all the local boards of directors he serves on, Lam still can't do the one thing Columbia does better than just about any place in the world: pick crabs.
A nose for crabs
Clear on the opposite end of Main Street from Mike's Kitchen — less than a half-mile away — sits the largest crab-packing operation on the East Coast.
Captain Neill's Seafood takes in, on average, 30,000 pounds of crabs every day from local boats during the peak season. That's 15 tons of sea scavengers removed daily from the bottom of the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds and the Alligator River. That many crabs equates to about 3,000 pounds of fresh crab meat, which Captain Neill's packages and sells to many distributors, Costco and Sam's Club among them.
The owner is a man named Phillip Carawan, and he dresses like he doesn't own a thing. He talks in the brogue of eastern North Carolina and trails off on his words with high-pitched exits. He grew up on the water. If you dumped a pound of imported crab meat and a pound of local crab meat onto a table and mixed it together, Carawan could separate every piece just by looking at it. When his industrial steamer is fired up to cook his own crabs from the area sounds and rivers, Carawan can tell you which body of water yielded the batch just by smell.
He started this business in 1982 only because his brothers started similar businesses. Dozens of crab-packing houses were open in the area then. Somewhere in the course of the past 30 years, though, the competition fell, and Carawan took off.
His business is so big now that he supplies some of the Maryland crab industry. Carawan sends truckloads of live crabs to Baltimore every week to supplement the Chesapeake Bay crabbers, who can't keep up with their population's demands. Restaurants in Baltimore buy Carawan's crabs by the bushel, and then cook them and sell them to customers at marked-up rates — meaning that when North Carolina crabs become "Maryland" crabs, they become far more valuable, not because of where they were caught, but because of where they are eaten.
Captain Neill's is an impressive operation. Most crabs weigh about a pound, so on an average day the company picks 30,000 crabs. The shells come off in a concrete-floored room with stainless steel tables. In this room are 135 workers, mostly Hispanic women here on nonimmigrant visas, who can pick one hard-shell crab in 15 seconds then move on to the next. Spanish music blasts throughout the picking room, and everybody's smiling. There's one anomaly among the pickers — a 94-year-old black man named Calvin Liverman. He's a local, and he's worked here since 1985. And every Friday he asks Carawan if he can work Saturday.
"If you work for someone who treats you right," Liverman says, "you like working."
Maybe that's how Carawan's business prospered above the rest — he treats people right. Or maybe it's because of another, more deep-rooted drive.
Captain Neill's is named for Neill Carawan, Phillip's first child, who died in 1981 at the age of 7. For the past 30 years, Neill's father has worked 12 hours a day, wearing dirty jeans and a ball cap, to build a business in his son's name. Now that business is so big it supplies not only Costco and Sam's Club, but also the state of Maryland with crabs — all from a spot three blocks north of U.S. Highway 64 as you head to the beach.
Stories and stuff
In 2007 the North Carolina Arts Council honored two Columbia men, Walter and Ray Davenport, with the North Carolina Heritage Award, given each year to the state's most eminent folk artists, for storytelling. Walter and Ray are brothers who are talkers in the best possible way, and they are as wild as the area they live in. They love Columbia like it's the last town on Earth, and when they went to Raleigh to receive their award, it was a big trip.
They're in their 70s, and they've lived here forever. It's a safe assumption that they've only ever eaten a handful of suppers that didn't include something they grew or killed or raised or caught. Their lives move depending on what's in season. They hunt bear and deer. When they were boys they went out into the sound and set nine pound nets in one day. When they were in their 20s, they caught and delivered 30,000 pounds of herring from one net on opening day of the season, just the two of them. "And then we went and chased girls," Walter says.
They know everything about the root systems of the lowland trees that hold still in the dirt here and everything about the moving patterns of the animals that roam. Walter knows the depth of the water without even sticking a stick below the surface. One spot where the sound and river meet is particularly deep because "as the sound gets narrower, the water runs harder, and that means it gets deeper," Walter says.
They also like things from the human world. They wake up every morning and drive around. When they see something they like in a yard — a hunk of scrap metal, an old John Deere lawn tractor — they pull over and knock on the door and make an offer. Near a cornfield in the yard between their homes stand a half-dozen sheds covering the most incredible hoard of things they've bought on their early morning drives. Rusted iron. Car batteries. Tires. Washing machines. Tractors. A boat hull. A full boat. To them, it's not junk.
They turned the iron and wood into a trailer that holds crab pots, for instance. You quickly get the feeling they've never seen anything broken that they didn't think they could fix.
Walter takes you through this heap of stuff one afternoon. Within a few minutes, you hear three gunshots from a .22-caliber rifle from across the cornfield back in the direction of Ray's house. "Don't pay no attention to it," Walter tells you unalarmed. "He's all the time shooting something down there."
Minutes later, you hear a truck start up near where the gunshots sounded. A gray Ford F-150 pulls around the bend and parks in the yard. Ray hops out. "I kept hearing someone over this way talking, and I had to come see what was going on," Ray says.
You ask Ray what he was shooting.
"Yeah, they were eating my tomatoes and cantaloupes."
Ray is sweating, and his button-down shirt is wide open. Walter has dirt all over him from working in the field and on the water. They laugh. They laugh at everything. They are in love with this life this town gave them. When Walter tells you good-bye, he says, "If y'all come back this way, look me up. I ain't goin' nowhere, unless they pin my toes together."
That seems about right. For so many other people and creatures here, like the man talking to a catfish against a soundtrack of frogs and everyone else's da-dums as they pass by, there is no separating from this place even if they move to Jersey.
This affection makes you want to stay a while longer. So you do. And that's why on a quiet evening around supper time, as the sun begins to set over the cornfield, after the terrapins are killed and the tomatoes are saved, you find yourself stopped in a yard of junk in Columbia while two wild brothers in their 70s tell stories about all the things they found on the side of the road.

About the Book
A powerful historical novel by the late Ariana Franklin and her daughter Samantha Norman, The Siege Winter is a tour de force mystery and murder, adventure and intrigue, a battle for a crown, told by two courageous young women whose fates are intertwined in twelfth century England's devastating civil war.
1141. England is engulfed in war as King Stephen and his cousin, the Empress Matilda, vie for the crown. In this dangerous world, not even Emma, an eleven-year-old peasant, is safe. A depraved monk obsessed with redheads kidnaps the ginger-haired girl from her village and leaves her for dead. When an archer for hire named Gwyl finds her, she has no memory of her previous life. Unable to abandon her, Gwyl takes the girl with him, dressing her as a boy, giving her a new name—Penda—and teaching her to use a bow. But Gwyn knows that the man who hurt Penda roams free, and that a scrap of evidence she possesses could be very valuable.
Gwyl and Penda make their way to Kenilworth, a small but strategically important fortress that belongs to fifteen-year-old Maud. Newly wedded to a boorish and much older husband after her father's death, the fierce and determined young chatelaine tempts fate and Stephen's murderous wrath when she gives shelter to the empress.
Aided by a garrison of mercenaries, including Gwyl and his odd red-headed apprentice, Maud will stave off Stephen's siege for a long, brutal winter that will bring a host of visitors to Kenilworth—kings, soldiers . . . and a sinister monk with deadly business to finish.

text: Forget Rudolph, Frosty, or even the Grinch. Introduce yourself to a new cast of intriguing yuletide characters, like a skid-row Santa or a charity-milking elevator operator. The crafty folks at The New Yorker rummaged through eight decades' worth of the magazine's famously dense holiday tales to gather Christmas at The New Yorker, a whimsically delicious collection of stories, poems, and illustrations. From John Updike's bah-humbug of a treatise, ''The Twelve Terrors of Christmas,'' to James Thurber's Hemingway-inspired ''A Visit From Saint Nicholas,'' this 305-page tome is as uplifting as it is cynical. Even Scrooge would find it worth the moola.

Noah's Bagels: 25-cent deal for 25th anniversary
Noah's Bagels, which was founded by Noah Alper on College Avenue in Berkeley in the summer of 1989, is celebrating its 25th anniversary Aug. 6 with a "today-only" offer of a 25-cent bagel and shmear at participating stores.
Noah's has several stores in the East Bay, including three in Berkeley — on College, Telegraph and Solano avenues — and two in Oakland, on Lakeshore and in Montclair.
The bagel purveyor specializes in New York-style bagels (although bagel aficionados inevitably like to argue over how authentic they are). The chain is a business success story. Six years after Alper opened the first store in Berkeley, Noah's Bagels had expanded to dozens of outlets and was sold to Einstein Bagel Bros. for $100 million dollars. Since then, Noah's stores can be found across the nation. … Continue reading »

A relative newcomer to Rockridge, Sukho Thai is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, which already boasts many fantastic restaurants to choose from. Sukho Thai opened last fall several blocks south of the Rockridge BART station; those familiar with the neighborhood may recall the previous business, Pearl of Siam, which closed last June after 25 years.
Friendly service, cozy surroundings and outstanding flavors set this Thai restaurant a cut above many others in the area. The flavors pop, with the right amount of heat on the spicy dishes, a satisfying firmness in the cooked vegetables, and masterful seasonings that make each dish memorable. Portions are ample enough for leftovers, especially if your party is small and you want to try a few dishes. Save room for a sweet treat for dessert. … Continue reading »
Nosh on the town: Bourbon & Beef on College Ave.
Come along with Nosh as we explore the East Bay food scene in photographs. This week we focus on Bourbon & Beef on College Avenue close to the Oakland-Berkeley border.
Executive chef and co-owner Munther Massarweh serves up a Latin-inspired meat-focused menu made with seasonal ingredients that are "often" locally sourced, sustainable and organic. The location previously housed Water Lounge and Raw Bar. See the dinner menu here. Weekend brunch items, from $14-$16, include huevos rancheros; pan dulce (stuffed French toast with jalapeño sweet cream); and salmon Florentine. The beverage menu includes an international wine list with more than 71 vintages, about 18 of which are available by the glass. A range of cocktails are a specialty of the house, and at least 20 types of bourbon are poured. … Continue reading »
Eat the Street: Elmwood Café defines community
In a new occasional series, Berkeleyside's Siciliana Trevino sets out to eat, and report on, every restaurant on College Avenue — from Bancroft to Broadway, taking in the gourmet goldmines that are the Elmwood and Rockridge neighborhoods in between. First on the list? The Elmwood Café.
The intersection of College and Russell was oddly absent of the congestion that normally plagues it at dusk. DJ and I were on the sidewalk, at a crossroads about where to get a drink, or maybe have dinner.
DJ and I often wondered what it would be like to eat at every restaurant on College Avenue from Bancroft to Broadway. It was a what if…? that became a real possibility when I left New York City in April to live with him in Berkeley, where we both originate. But that night in June we vowed that if we ate out on College, we would go forward with our long-held plan. … Continue reading »

'Got Sweaty Balls?' sign at Lululemon provokes questions
The Lululemon Athletica store on the corner of Ashby and College avenues has installed a window display that is prompting a lot of discussion.
A sign reading "Got sweaty balls?" covers a large section of the main window. It sits in front of five mannequins wearing colorful male underwear. A smaller sign reads "Best. Boxer Briefs. Ever."
"It's certainly unusual," said Joshua, a store manager who didn't give his last name. "It's not going to be up for very long." … Continue reading »

A16 brings touch of San Francisco to Rockridge
A16 Rockridge threw open its new roll-up door on Saturday night, bringing a soupçon of San Francisco's dining flair to College Avenue.
The countdown to launch day was not without its moments, said co-owner Victoria Libin, speaking on opening day. But even an exploding water heater that had to be replaced in haste last week did not delay the much anticipated debut.
As previously reported, this is the third venture for Libin and Shelley Lindgren (who is also the restaurant's wine director), who already run A16 and SPQR in the city.
Executive chef Rocky Maselli has devised a menu focused on dishes you might find in the coastal regions surrounding Italy's A16 highway — which could mean crispy fried lamb sweetbreads, oysters and sea urchin, or roasted calamari. … Continue reading »
Nosh Talk: Scott Miller, Market Hall Foods
What is always in your refrigerator?
Parmigiano Reggiano and roasted tomato sauce — because in my house a quick dinner for the kids often includes one or both of these.
What do you cook up for a late night snack?
I don't make a lot of late night snacks, but when I do it's usually popcorn. Sometimes kettlecorn.
Where/what do you eat on your day off?
I usually go for Asian food. A current favorite is B-Dama on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland or Ippuku in Berkeley.
Do you have a secret 'junk food' vice?
I snack on things but nothing I would really think of as too junkie. OK, an occasional doughnut might make the list. I do have a bit of a lifelong pretzel problem. … Continue reading »
New Safeway on College green-lighted, designs revealed
A new Safeway grocery store and retail development planned for College and Claremont avenues has gotten the nod from Oakland officials after seven long years in the making, and a hard-won community consensus on the heels of steep resistance from many residents.
The Oakland City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to deny a neighborhood appeal against the project, after representatives from several community groups reached an agreement with the grocery store company earlier this week. (The appeal could not simply be withdrawn, despite the signed agreement, due to procedural rules, city staff said.)
The settlement agreement over the particulars of the College Avenue Safeway project resulted from several intensive mediation sessions, run by Oakland Councilwoman Jane Brunner, between Safeway and neighborhood reps over the past five weeks. The sessions came about in the face of a possible lawsuit from community members who opposed aspects of the development that had been approved by the Oakland Planning Commission. … Continue reading »

Residents air concerns about College Ave. Safeway plans
Update, 5:23 p.m.: Via Stuart Flashman, "After another five hours of negotiating today (following up on two hours over the weekend) the agreement has been finalized. The RCPC Board (which has been primed for a vote since Friday) promptly approved the agreement by electronic vote. The other two groups (FANS and BPOD) will be voting tonight, but the community negotiators are unanimously recommending approval."
Original story, 2:15 p.m.
With what may be the final major approvals for a new Safeway store on College Avenue set to take place Tuesday night before the Oakland City Council, residents came together for an update late last week.
About 60 community members attended a session Thursday night run by several mediators who have, along with Oakland Councilwoman Jane Brunner, helped broker a deal to get Safeway to respond to neighborhood concerns and bring negotiations to a close so the project can move forward after seven years in development. … Continue reading »

Outrage on College: Where did the fried chicken go?
An email landed in Berkeleyside's inbox the other day, subject line: "Outrage on College Avenue!" Reader Heidi, who lives in the Elmwood neighborhood, wrote:
Summer Kitchen Bake Shop has taken its fried chicken off the menu!
Everybody loved their fried chicken! It has been the gateway meat for many a small and so-well-raised Berkeley child. It has linked generations of foodies.
And why, I asked, has such a reckless decision been made? "Our menu is constantly evolving." This is the understatement of this young year! Are they stonewalling us? Have they lost their source for the assertive black pepper in their breading? Can they no longer find sustainable oil for their deep fryer? Do they actually hate my daughters?
Please get to the bottom of this for us! We are helpless and in your hands.

Elmwood Café kickstarts its benevolent business model
Nine months after taking over the moribund, but previously much-loved, Ozzie's Soda Fountain space on College Avenue, the Elmwood Café is in a position to put into action its rather original business model.
The café's brasserie-style hours and its menu, much of which is prepared by former Café Fanny staffers, have proved popular with Berkeleyans, and the place is often bustling — from morning coffee time through late evening supper hours.
Its success has seen … Continue reading »

Candy lovers will delight in Powell's Sweet Shoppe
The yet-to-be opened Powell's Sweet Shoppe on College Avenue was abuzz with activity Thursday as its owners and new employees put away stacks and stacks of candy.
The store, which will open on Wednesday Nov. 17, stocks 6,000 to 7,000 different items at any one time, so getting it in order for its grand opening involves a lot of work.
But for the three owners – a husband and wife pair and her sister – all that work just brought on more smiles.
"This isn't a job for me," said Nabil Hissen, an engineer who also owns a Powell's in Lafayette. "It's fun. I work and then I come here for fun."
Nabil, his wife Zeina, and her sister Shahrazad Junblat looked for a location for their candy store for a year and a half before finding a spot at 3206 College near Alcatraz. The building used to house Ovation, a women's clothing store.
"It took us a long time to find the right location," said Zeina Hissen. "We wanted to find the right neighborhood."
"I am a Berkeley resident and I absolutely adore this neighborhood," said Junblatt. "Kids can ride their bikes here, we are surrounded by schools, a residential area and families. It's very accessible."
With such a huge array of candy, the store is sure to be popular. Walking inside is like taking a trip in time. The walls are decorated with historic images, including a tin Coca Cola sign from 1939, a copy of the playing board of every edition of the Candyland game, a 1905 Fifth Avenue box, and nostalgic posters.
The center of the store features a Willie Wonka movie playing in continuous loop. It's the original version starring Gene Wilder, not the remake with Johnny Depp.
And the candy! There is an entire section featuring Willie Wonka candies, a section called Memory Lane with old-fashioned candy, a novelty section featuring some wild treats, like cheddar cheese flavored larvae (real) and an authentic IV bag filled with candied "blood." (Very popular this Halloween)
There is a British section and a section with different colored M&Ms. There is a card catalog filled with different types of gum. (With a sign above it reading "When I was your age, this was a search engine.) There is a section devoted to mints (peppermints and other wild flavors, including curry and ranch dressing) lots of lollipops, a section with chocolate bars from around the globe, and a gelato bar.

When legal action is required to create and protect family relationships, or to resolve difficult family disputes and disagreements, it is essential that you entrust your most private matters with a compassionate and knowledgeable family law attorney.
For many, family law is thought to be synonymous with divorce proceedings. In reality, divorce is just a small part of family law, which covers a broad array of domestic issues, including adoption and reproductive law, pare
Adoption & Reproductive Law
While starting a family can be an immensely rewarding experience, for many individuals and couples it is also accompanied by a host of legal and bureaucratic complexities. Those who approach the process with the aid of a knowledgeable and experienced adoption and reproductive law attorney find that they are relieved of much of the delays, frustration and expense it often entails.
Whether you are contemplating an alternative reproductive arrangement, a traditional domestic or international adoption, or the co-parent adoption of a spouse or partner's child, our firm can effectively coordinate the parties, court and state agencies to ensure a seemless and efficient process.
Support, Custody, and Visitation Orders
The dissolution of a marriage or domestic relationship may just be the start of a number of complex legal and financial issues. When a relationship ends, the parties may continue to have financial and other obligations to one another and to their children for years. Our law firm routinely handles the establishment, modification, and enforcement of support, custody, and visitation orders for our clients and their children. Our attorneys and staff will work with you to achieve the best possible outcome while safeguarding your parental rights and protecting your children's best interests.
Divorce & Dissolution of Civil Unions
Divorce proceedings usually involve intense emotions and significant expense. Our dedicated family law attorneys can work with you throughout your divorce to minimize the emotional strain and cost normally associated with these proceedings. We handle complex contested and uncontested divorces, and we have unique experience in obtaining divorce and dissolution of civil unions on behalf of same-sex clients throughout Massachusetts.
During divorce proceedings, we will carefully review all assets and debt involved and strive to attain the largest possible distribution of marital assets for our clients. When appropriate, we will work closely with you to guarantee proper financial contribution through alimony and child support. If children are involved, we will work with you to obtain custody of your children, child support payments or help in the development of a parenting plan, if preferred.
If you and your spouse wish to work together to obtain an amicable or uncontested divorce, our law firm will work closely with you to resolve issues and reach a fair and comprehensive outcome. Many individuals prefer this method as it tends to be faster, less costly and produces a more amicable outcome.
Paternity & Actions to Establish Parenthood
Paternity lawsuits may be necessary to determine parental rights, custody or support matters when the identity of the biological father is in question. In some instances, the court will order a genetic test.
Paternity actions can be brought by a biological father to establish parental rights to a child. Paternity actions can also be brought in order to establish a biological father's legal obligation of financial support. Where a biological father does not wish to play an active role in the child's upbringing, the law imposes a legal obligation to provide financial support to the minor.
Even where there is no biological or established legal parent-child relationship, the law may create parent-like obligations and rights if it is in the best interests of the child.
Domestic Violence, Restraining Orders, and Safety Planning
Unfortunately, domestic violence and sexual assault exist in every type of relationship and in every community. Abuse may include harassment, control, assault and physical violence, sexual abuse, and neglect. If you are experiencing physical or emotional abuse by a spouse, partner, or other individual you should contact the police and an experienced Domestic Violence, Restraining Orders, and Safety Planning lawyer who can listen to your story and inform you of your rights.
Our dedicated attorneys will work tirelessly to establish a safety plan with you and to work with law enforcement and the court system to advocate for your legal needs and your physical safety. In addition to serving private clients, our attorneys work closely with a number of pro bono organizations to provide legal representation and services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Vaughn-Martel Law represents clients in Suffolk County, Middlesex County, Essex County, Norfolk County, Plymouth County, Bristol County, Worcester County, Hampden County, and Franklin County. In Suffolk County MA, our Boston divorce attorneys and other attorneys can represent you if you reside in Allston MA 02134, Boston MA, East Boston MA 02128, Back Bay MA 02116, Beacon Hill MA 02114, Brighton MA 02135, Revere MA 02151, Cambridge MA 02139, Cambridge MA 02140, Charlestown MA 02129, Jamaica Plain MA 02130, Winthrop MA 02152, Roxbury MA 02118, Roxbury Mission Hill MA 02120, and Chelsea MA 02150.

The second month, the second day,
We know is Groundhog's Holiday.
The keeper of the local zoo,
Photographers, reporters, too,
Anxiously await together
Woodchuck's forecast of the weather.
Each year this time he leaves his hearth,
His home beneath good Mother Earth.
He wiggles out to see the sun
And sure enough - ask anyone-
Should he perchance his shadow see,
Back to his home again he'll flee.
And that sign's still the surest thing
Six weeks must pass before it's spring!

Intel releases updated Linux drivers
Intel has released a new version of the open source Intel graphics package, that can be used on Linux systems. This is good news for users of the software, who will be able to access the updated version, known as 12.07. With the package, users will get new X Server drivers for Intel cards, along with other features that work with these specific drivers.
Version 2.20.0 is the most significant component of this new release, available with the xf86-video-intel driver for the X Server. Those who regularly use this type of technology, or any for that matter, spending time on their computers playing poker.de or communicating to their friends via e-mail, will be glad to hear this news. The feature comes with SNA, which is a 2D acceleration method that can be selected at runtime. It's purpose is to use less CPU than the previous method, UXA, and to be faster. To take advantage of this, the user must specify Option "AccelMethod" "sna" in the Xorg.conf file. It also features modern Intel graphics cards, which the new SNA architecture is designed to make the most of.
This new release from Intel is pre-tested, and therefore geared towards developers who look for this feature rather than Linux end users. It comes with other features that have also been tested, along with the main ones that will be the biggest draw. The other features include the stable 3.4.x version of the Linux kernel. This was made available to users in May and its default setting is to use the RC6 power saving mode. Those who want to get their hands on this new package can download it from Intel's Linux driver web site and begin enjoying the benefits. Its source code is licensed under MIT and GPLv2 licences.
Linux Marketshare
I'm responsible for around 150 GNU/Linux servers. Not one of them actually shipped with Linux. They were all bare metal installs at the point of delivery. That's generally how Linux works. You buy hardware from one vendor and OS entitlements from another. If my experience isn't unusal, then the latest server track numbers from IDC are quite extraordinary.
IDC tracks servers shipped by OEMs to customers and reports on hardware and OS marketshare. It doesn't track bare metal installations, hardware re-provisions and VM guest installs. Last quarter, according to IDC, factory revenue for Linux grew while it shrank for Windows and UNIX. On top of the provisioning methods I mentioned above, customers are increasingly asking IBM, HP and Dell to ship servers with Linux installed.
According to IDC, demand was driven by the need for high performance and cloud computing. Linux has also earned a reputation as more reliable and more secure than that other Intel OS. And if you want to ruin hardware performance, just add virus protection which is a necessity in the Windows operating environment. Given the risk vs. the reward of increased performance, many Linux administrators simply eschew virus protection. That gives Linux a real world performance boost over its rival from Microsoft.
Once Linux conquers the datacenter, it's only a matter of time until millions of open source developers really start to focus on the desktop. Proprietary software's best days are behind it.

I was feeling awfully bad
My heart was broken
But you came into my life
And you made my future bright
Your eyes had spoken
And they took the hurt away from me
The rain that fell within my heart is swept away
The clouds break open and I see the day
Here by your side
No more reason to hide my feelings inside
And I'll gladly share each one of them with you
If you let me
Light all around me
I feel it surround me
Shining down from above
This is love

Infant See
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 02-04-2010 - 10:23am
Kate's comment about getting Raymond an eye exam reminded me. For parents in the US with children under a year. You can get them a free eye exam with an optometrist. The program is called Infant See. Pediatricians eye exams do not catch every eye problem especially with infants, and an eye exam before they are one is suggested. A free eye exam is never a bad thing and yes eye doctors can check an infant and toddlers vision and see if there are issues and prescribe glasses even before they can read eye charts! They use prisms and other tools to do this.
Eloise had her first eye appointment at 4 months, and will be going back around 16 months for her next one, Desmond goes yearly too, because I have had glasses since I was 18 months and they knew I needed them from 12 months. I really do suggest that everyone does an infant eye check before their child turns one. Since it is free if you do it though a doctor signed up with Infant See you don't even have to worry about if you have eye coverage or a co-pay if you do!
