How do you do it? Is there an easy way, or did you buy some kind of nut cracker?
My dad had two methods; either a bench vise, or wrap in a towel and use his carpentry hammer.
Hammer and concrete
Run over them with a tank, save the dirt under them to repel robbers and toss the nuts!
LOL OK, I couldn't resist. We had a giant Black Walnut tree in our front yard when I was a kid and I used to just laugh myself silly watching my mom trying to crack those things. She loved them, I hated them and still do.
Good luck with em. LQ

"There is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing." D. Duck
Nothing better than Mom"s black walnut fudge at Christmas time. We used a hammer on a granite rock, then a nut pick. If you strike on the ridge/edge where the halves seem to join, you can (sometimes) open it up and then break the internal wall with the pick. Then you can ease out the nut meats intact. Otherwise, good luck and chew lightly....
If you get a machine to break them get one with a long handle because you will need it. I have use most of the ways to break them but a hammer and something solid is the best way.
God must have loved stupid people because he made so many of them.
I've been told the big nut companies boil them first before cracking them open. Suppose to make picking the goodies out much easier. I haven't tried this so I don't know if it works or not.

There's an Amish family that cracks them for me for $6 a pound! Can't beat it!

I agree with using the hammer.
I just use my bare finger strength...

I have started cracking mine with a large nut cracker I purchased that uses leverage and it is wonderful. I'm 73 and have no problem cracking them but I do use eye protection as parts of the shells sometimes fly out.
I hammer them, use a chisel and mallet, stomp on them and then give up when I realize I've stained everything. Hope that advice helps.
There's a tree up the hill, and walnuts are my favorite nut. Oh, the irony.
Dad had a wood stump in the basement, probably an elm a foot across & 2 feet high, sat down there & cracked them with a hammer and threw the shells in the furnace. A hard wood like that works good.
Try doing butternuts some time, and the walnuts will be a breeze!
I remember the first time we got black walnuts from a tree. We had just moved to Alabama and I was 15 yrs old. My Dad told me and my younger brother to hull them. Well, we didn't know that it would stain our hands, so we didn't use anything. Needless to say, we both ended up with stained hands.
Mom used a ball peen hammer and a fender dolly from dad's box of body & fender tools...later dad obtained a 6" length of railroad rail for an anvil to rivet new sickle bar blades & mom used that instead of the fender dolly...
LOL They sound just as tough to get into as the maple nuts(?) a friend brought for me from Arkansas, she then said she was surprised she didn't see many squirrels there in Evening Shade.....me with hammer in hand trying to crack one open said "Of course there aren't any squirrels there, the poor things starved to death trying to get into these!"

Comixology adds options for subscriptions and bundles (update: Web app only)
Comixology is, as we've discussed here before, basically the premiere app for comic books on Apple's iPad. And now, the app (well, the web app at least) is adding one more feature to its already long list.
Starting today, you can subscribe to your favorite comics right inside the app's web store, which means that instead of going in every week to buy the comics you want, you can tap one button, and you'll automatically pick up a comic when it arrives. That's pretty handy if you buy a lot of comics -- it's like having your own personal comic book store pulling issues as you need them.
The company has also added support for buying comics in bundles, which means those deals we occasionally see come out of Comixology's offices will probably be a lot better (it's much easier to buy a bunch of comics at a time for cheap, rather than a ton of issues individually on sale). This also means that the company can bundle up storylines and back issues, so finding what you want to read and purchasing it all in one go should be a piece of cake.
Update: Bundles and subscriptions are only available on the web app, we're told. But you can definitely buy comics on the web, and then browse them on your iPad.

Teacher Learning That Supports Student Learning: What Teachers Need to Know
Today's schools face enormous challenges. In response to an increasingly complex society and a rapidly changing technology-based economy, schools are being asked to educate the most diverse student body in our history to higher academic standards than ever before. This task is one that cannot be "teacher-proofed" through management systems, testing mandates, or curriculum packages.
What do teachers need to know to teach all students according to today's standards?
What Teachers Need to Know
First, teachers need to understand subject matter deeply and flexibly so that they can help students create useful cognitive maps, relate ideas to one another, and address misconceptions. Teachers need to see how ideas connect across fields and to everyday life. (Shulman, 1987.)
Interpreting learners' statements and actions and shaping productive experiences for them require an understanding of child and adolescent development and of how to support growth in various domains -- cognitive, social, physical, and emotional. Teaching in ways that connect with students also requires an understanding of differences that may arise from culture, family experiences, developed intelligences, and approaches to learning. Teachers need to be able to inquire sensitively, listen carefully, and look thoughtfully at student work.
Teachers need to know about curriculum resources and technologies to connect their students with sources of information and knowledge that allow them to explore ideas, acquire and synthesize information, and frame and solve problems. And teachers need to know about collaboration: how to structure interactions among students, how to collaborate with other teachers, and how to work with parents to shape supportive experiences at school and home.
New Strategies for Teacher Learning
Acquiring this sophisticated knowledge and developing a practice that is different from what teachers themselves experienced as students requires learning opportunities for teachers that are more powerful than simply reading and talking about new pedagogical ideas. (Ball and Cohen, in press.) Teachers learn best by studying, doing, and reflecting; by collaborating with other teachers; by looking closely at students and their work; and by sharing what they see. This kind of learning cannot occur in college classrooms divorced from practice or in school classrooms divorced from knowledge about how to interpret practice.
Better settings for such learning are appearing. More than 300 schools of education in the United States have created programs that extend beyond the traditional four-year bachelor's degree program. Some are one- or two-year graduate programs for recent graduates or mid-career recruits. Others are five-year models for prospective teachers who enter teacher education as undergraduates. In either case, the fifth year allows students to focus exclusively on the task of preparing to teach, with year-long, school-based internships linked to coursework on learning and teaching.
Studies have found that graduates of these extended programs are more satisfied with their preparation, and their colleagues, principals, and cooperating teachers view them as better-prepared. Extended program graduates are as effective with students as are much more experienced teachers and are much more likely to enter and stay in teaching than their peers prepared in traditional four-year programs. (Andrew and Schwab, 1995; Denton and Peters, 1988; Shin, 1994.)
Many of these programs have joined with local school districts to create Professional Development Schools. Like teaching hospitals, these schools aim to provide sites for state-of-the-art practice and for teacher learning. Both university and school faculty plan and teach in these programs. Beginning teachers get a more coherent learning experience when they teach and learn in teams with these veteran faculty and with one another. Senior teachers deepen their knowledge by serving as mentors, adjunct faculty, co-researchers, and teacher leaders. (Darling-Hammond, 1994.)
These new programs envision the professional teacher as one who learns from teaching rather than as one who has finished learning how to teach.
Professional Learning in Practice
Countries like Germany, France, and Luxembourg have long required two to three years of graduate-level study for prospective teachers on top of an undergraduate degree in the subject(s) to be taught. Education courses include the study of child development and learning, pedagogy, and teaching methods, plus an intensively supervised internship in a school affiliated with the university.
In France, all candidates now complete a graduate program in newly created University Institutes for the Preparation of Teachers that are connected to nearby schools. In Japan and Taiwan, new teachers complete a year-long supervised internship with a reduced teaching load that allows for mentoring and additional study. By Japanese law, first-year teachers receive at least twenty days of inservice training and sixty days of professional development. Master teachers are released from their classrooms to advise and counsel them. (National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 1996.)
In their study of mathematics teaching in Japan, Taiwan, and the United States, Stigler and Stevenson note: "One of the reasons Asian class lessons are so well-crafted is that there is a very systematic effort to pass on the accumulated wisdom of teaching practice to each new generation of teachers and to keep perfecting that practice by providing teachers the opportunities to continually learn from each other." (1991)
Without these supports, learning to teach well is extremely difficult. Most U.S. teachers start their careers in disadvantaged schools where turnover is highest, are assigned the most educationally needy students whom no one else wants to teach, are given the most demanding teaching loads with the greatest number of extra duties, and receive few curriculum materials and no mentoring or support.
After entry, teachers are expected to know everything they will need for a career, or to learn through occasional workshops mostly on their own, with few structured opportunities to observe and analyze teaching with others. As one high school teacher who had spent twenty-five years in the classroom once told me: "I have taught 20,000 classes; I have been 'evaluated' thirty times; but I have never seen another teacher teach."
Some school districts have begun to create new approaches to professional development that feature mentoring for beginners and veterans; peer observation and coaching; local study groups and networks for specific subject matter areas; teacher academies that provide ongoing seminars and courses of study tied to practice; and school-university partnerships that sponsor collaborative research, inter-school visitations, and learning opportunities developed in response to teachers' and principals' felt needs.
For example, at Wells Junior High, a Professional Development School working with the University of Southern Maine, the whole notion of staff development was turned on its head. The emphasis shifted from outside consultants to in-house experts. Collaborative learning groups replaced the traditional lecture/demonstration format. Problem-posing and problem-solving supplanted the recipes and prescriptions for effective schools that teachers had heard for years and never managed to implement. (Miller and Silvernail, 1994, pp. 30, 31.)
Similarly, at Fairdale High School in Louisville, Kentucky, teachers' research coupled with shared decision making produced major changes.
As part of a self-study, ten teachers followed ten children through a school day. When it was over, teachers said things like, "It was boring," or, "You know, this isn't a very humane place to be." Teachers read and began to trade articles from the Kappan, Educational Leadership, and Education Week. Even before participative management was initiated at Fairdale, the teachers started changing things. "Make no mistake about it," [the principal] said, "we are building a professional culture." (Kerchner, 1993, p. 9.)
Professional development strategies that succeed in improving teaching share several features. (Darling-Hammond and McLaughlin, 1995.) They tend to be:
- Experiential, engaging teachers in concrete tasks of teaching, assessment, and observation that illuminate the processes of learning and development;
- Grounded in participants' questions, inquiry, and experimentation as well as professionwide research;
- Collaborative, involving a sharing of knowledge among educators;
- Connected to and derived from teachers' work with their students, as well as to examinations of subject matter and teaching methods;
- Sustained and intensive, supported by modeling, coaching, and problem solving around specific problems of practice; and
- Connected to other aspects of school change.
The Benefit for Students
Growing evidence suggests that this kind of professional development not only makes teachers feel better about their practice, but it also reaps learning gains for students, especially in the kinds of more challenging learning that new standards demand. (Darling-Hammond, 1997; NFIE, 1996.) Creating a profession of teaching in which teachers have the opportunity for continual learning is the likeliest way to inspire greater achievement for children, especially those for whom education is the only pathway to survival and success.

As a first year teacher I would love to have the opportunity to observe veteran teachers within my school district and in the surrounding area. I feel as though I am in sink or swim mode, which I gladly face head on, but know that I would benefit greatly from classroom observations. Interning during my final semester of college only furthered my abilities. Continual hands-on learning can only enhance the methods learned during my undergraduate study.
While I was reading this informative article I couldn't help but think of a saying of Confucius: "In three ways may we learn wisdom: by reflection, which is noblest; by imitation, which is easiest; and by experience, which is bitterest." Isn't it too true that in North America (can't speak for the U.S. by experience as I've never taught there)all too often we learn our teaching by bitter experience, denied--or ignoring--the opportunity to imitate? I am encouraged that in many countries the means by which people become teachers is changing for the better, with more emphasis given to reflection and learning as opposed to the sink-or-swim mentality which for so many years has characterised teacher 'training'.
I agree wholeheartedly with your comments, and am also encouraged by the recent trend in many teacher-education institutions of more thoroughly preparing teachers for what we know is a very demanding profession.
I also like the comparison you drew between this profession and those of the law and medicine; it really is appalling that there has been so little attention given to preparing those who mould the minds of the world's children. Those who choose what is perhaps the noblest profession are the most neglected!
I too agree with this article. Professional Development should be mandatory. However, I feel three years of graduate school is a bit excessive for the little pay that teachers get. Most teachers are supporting a family. If the districts or states paid for the education, and the administrators provided the time off for the teachers to continuously go to pd then I would say it should be mandatory.
This article was very informative. I found the research regarding teaching in other countries to be fascinating. It appears that in several countries, teachers are given a tremendous amount of support, guidance, and time to begin and establish their craft.
I am a sixth year teacher working on my Master's, specializing in k-6, literacy and mathematics. I am currently doing research on how professional knowledge ( in subject matter, pedagogy, and of culture) influence teacher development. We were also asked to self-evaluate where we see ourselves on the teaching continuum-Novice-to-Expert Teacher. Any thoughts/ideas?
I agree teaching is very different from when we were in school and therefore professional development needs to change as well. However, this article was published almost 10 years ago, and I'm not sure much has changed since. Both beginning and veteran teachers need support, and the best kind is experiential and coaching. I liked the comment in the article by the teacher who said she's never seen a teacher teach. It is so true. I think there needs to be more of a committment from school districts to provide these kinds of programs.
I think the new strategies for teacher learning are very encouraging. When I went back to school for my teacher certification I was not working in a school setting. I had 3.5 years of coursework and then my student teaching in the Spring semester. Looking back I think I would have had a better understanding of my coursework if I could apply it as it was being taught to me. I also felt one semester of student teaching was difficult becasue I saw the end product and not how students first came in. I think the 2 year extended program in a classroom and linking it to the coursework is beneficial. Working with a veteran teacher allows you to learn all the scenarios which might not have been covered in cousework and how to handle it (classroom management comes to mind). You are then able to discuss after the fact the best practices to use which might be linked to your courswork knowledge. The five year model I believe is a bit too long.
I found this article to be very enlightening. I loved to hear about all the ways that teachers are learning. I student taught in THREE settings for one semester. I was never at any school for over five weeks. I felt like I had learned nothing when I was finished because everything had been so rushed. If I had got to have an internship for a year I feel that I would have been better prepared. Had it not been for such a wonderful team of teaching mentors my first year, I would have been up the creek without a paddle. These teachers helped me prepare and understand things that I never learned from a textbook. It was very interesting to see all the time and effort that other countries are putting into teacher education. Sometimes I wonder if we are behind in the game.
I found this article to be extremely encouraging. I am a teacher of four years and when newly qualified I secretly held feelings of being under prepared and over tasked! Thankfully, with experience, I have become more confident in my abilities.
I echo the point that newly qualified teachers are expected to 'know everything' and have very little contact with 'veteran' teachers. From my observations it seems that the novice teacher is excused of many mistakes because '...well, they've just qualified', yet very little support through collaboration, observation, questioning and other professional development exercises is actually given to them.
Against this feeling of encouragement, I am a little disturbed to see that the article is indeed nine years old. Has much changed? Certainly in the country where I teach I can honestly say: Not much has!
I really do share your feeling of 'sink or swim mode' when being newly qualified. I have only been teaching for four years now and can encourage you by saying that it does get better. Your enthusiasm and willingness to face it head on will definitely be of benefit.

Does my $300 enrollment deposit count towards my family contribution and my College bill?
Do I need to bring the full amount of my family contribution with me?
Not necessarily. When Student Financial Services calculates your need and determines if you will receive assistance, they consider all the expenses that you will incur during your fist year at Middlebury. This includes items that Middlebury College bills for, and your own personal expenses. The comprehensive fee and the student activities fee will appear on your College Bill. Other expenses (such as books, supplies, personal items and travel), are items that you will need money for throughout the year. You will need to have funds available to pay for those expenses when you make those purchases.
Can I pay my deposit or charges on my College bill through an electronic transfer of funds?
Yes. To transfer funds electronically to Middlebury College, please contact the Cashier's office by phone at 1 (802) 443-5375 for instructions.
Can I talk to someone at Middlebury College from my country?
There are students from over 75 countries at Middlebury College, and even if there is not a student from your particular country, there will certainly be someone from your region of the world! If you are interested in getting in touch with a current Middlebury student from your area of the world, please contact the International Students' Organization (ISO), at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Can I be picked up at the airport?
International Student and Scholar Services assists in coordinating transportation for new international students from Burlington Airport to Middlebury College on Arrival Day for Early Arrival. To request this service, please complete the Travel Information Form. Airport pick-ups will commence at 11:00 a.m. on the designated arrival day. More information about the transportation service will be communicated to students via email in early Spring 2015.
If you plan to arrive on another day, you must make your own arrangements for transportation.
Can I mail packages to the College prior to my arrival?
Student Full Name (no nicknames, please)
C/O (Box number if available)
Middlebury College
Service Building Warehouse
84 South Service Road
Middlebury, VT 05753
Students who have not received their mailbox number by the time they must mail their belongings should indicate on the package that they are a first-year, transfer, or exchange student. The warehouse will be open throughout September Orientation. It is helpful to bring the package-tracking number and the name of the shipping company to expedite package retrieval.
Students mailing packages for arrival between September 16 and August 21 of the following year: During the academic year and summer, students who need to ship larger items (i.e., trunks, luggage, special-ordered equipment) to campus should send their items, prepaid, to the campus Mail Center.
Can I arrive early to Middlebury College?
If you wish to arrive to the U.S. before "arrival day", you are responsible for your own travel arrangements and accommodations.
Some students choose to arrive to the Burlington airport late on the night before arrival day, or very, very early the morning of arrival day (at 12:04 a.m., for example), expecting to be able to spend the night and early morning hours waiting in the airport. Please be aware that the Burlington airport closes at night- it is not possible to spend the night in the airport.

I Love Local HFX – City Harvest 2014

After a glorious Thanksgiving weekend, I'm getting caught up on a bit of blogging and am excited to share my annual I Love Local HFX's City Harvest adventure with you! It was grey and rainy that day, but I was happy to see lots of people out enjoying the event despite the chilly weather.
I started early at The Halifax Seaport Farmer's Market and then visited some locations I haven't featured before. Along the way I stopped in to visit friends I've made while shooting this event over the past few years. I love catching up and hearing how things are going. I was excited to see lots of new businesses on the list this year as well!
With so many businesses participating, it's tricky to fit them all into my blog post. I sadly missed Dartmouth this year, but I'll be sure to start there in the spring for Open City 2015. Covering the North End for me was Alana Correia who did a great job photographing some of the exciting new businesses on the list. I've also borrowed a few images from local blogger and foodie friend Kathy Jollimore of eatHalifax who always finds the most delicious spots for unique local food.
I hope you enjoy the photos!

I love it when couples ask if they can bring their pets along to an engagement shoot… I always say of course! They are part of the family too! Caper (the little one) and Italia (the bigger one) came along with Julianne and David to our shoot at Rainbow Haven. They were hilarious and so cute together, best buddies.Read More...
108 Yoga – Halifax Yoga Studio
- May, 21 2014

- Featured, I Love Local HFX, Portrait Photography

One of my happy places in Halifax is 108 Yoga. It's where I go to slow down, take a deep breath and stretch away some stress. I've been going to 108 Yoga for nearly four years now, and I wanted to share all the things I love about this locally owned business.
As an affiliated centre of the Himalayan Institute and Yoga International, the teachers at 108 are highly trained in the traditional teachings of yoga, ayurveda and meditation. They focus on creating health, vitality and balance in your everyday life through studio classes, workshops discovery programs and certification programs.
From the very beginning, my experience at 108 Yoga was warm and welcoming. The space is calm and relaxing and the members are all skill levels, ages and body types. I always feel comfortable and supported by the instructors as well as the other members in each class. There are lots of options for different kinds of classes running throughout the week at different times during the day. I love that I never feel rushed or pressured to go beyond my own personal challenges (or to compare myself to other members). The instructors at 108 encourage everyone to listen to their own bodies and go at their own pace… I really appreciate that because some days just feel rougher than others! The important thing, for me anyway, is to consistently show up and do my best, whatever that might look like!
Dorothy Spence founded 108 Yoga in 2009 with the desire to share her personal transformation experiences that yoga provided with others. She takes the time to get to know each member and always has helpful suggestions for anyone with specific questions. For me it was insomnia (been struggling with it for years) and Dorothy had a few new ideas that really helped.
Sarah Andrews does a fantastic job managing the studio. Always welcoming and encouraging, she makes sure everyone finds their own path through the yoga experience. It was Sarah who encouraged me to learn more about the Ayurvedic lifestyle and to join the 108 spring cleanse. I gained a lot from the experience and am looking forward to learning more as new workshops come up through the year.
The cleanse I did recently was The Big Spring Cleanse lead by Sarah Andrews and Krista Watters (we followed along with Kathryn Templeton's 21-Day Program). Without getting too deep into the details (I recommend signing up for a workshop with 108 to learn about the Ayurvedic lifestyle) the cleanse involved a daily yoga practice and a simple healthy eating plan that gives the digestive system a break. We were encouraged to incorporate healthy habits (such as setting positive intentions, practicing meditation) into our daily lifestyle. For me, it wasn't about 21 days of following the plan perfectly… I wanted to shake up my usual routine (a 6:30am practice takes care of that!) and add in some habits that were new for me. It was about setting aside some time each day to focus on myself and my health. I feel like it's an experience I will build on each spring, focusing on a new challenge each time. I'm not quite ready to give up my coffee (I only lasted one day!) but I did learn a lot about healthy digestion and really enjoy the CCF Tea (Cumin, Coriander and Fennel) which promotes healing and soothes inflammation.
Congratulations to 108 Yoga who recently celebrated their fifth anniversary! I'm looking forward to many more years of yoga practice!
108 Yoga recently participated in I Love Local HFX's Open City event. It was great to see so many new faces visiting the studio!
I had a great visit with Dorothy and Sarah recently to learn more about 108 Yoga. Love these colourful portraits of two inspiring ladies
A new habit I picked up from the spring cleanse at 108 Yoga… Cumin, Coriander and Fennel tea!
Open City 2014 | I Love Local HFX

My two favorite days of the year in Halifax: Open City and City Harvest hosted by I Love Local HFX. These events encourage Haligonians to experience a selection of what Halifax has to offer all in one day, so that they become better ambassadors for Halifax and to get more out of life in the city. This is year three and I see more and more people participating each year. Shops, restaurants, cultural organizations, attractions, charities and government all participated in over 100 locations! The energy is always happy and enthusiastic… our sluggish spring weather didn't even slow the crowds down!
What I love about Open City and City Harvest is that each and every local supporter has their own unique experience. I see small groups of friends making their way around the city to visit each location on their own time, stopping for chats with other friends along the way and sharing their experience via social media. I tend to follow the food – many of us do! – stopping at shops along the way to say hello to the business owners I've come to know as I take photographs each year.
Dartmouth was a new and welcome addition for 2014 so I made sure to visit a few locations there, and then I focused on shops and restaurants I haven't featured in my earlier blog posts. You can imagine, with over 100 locations, it's impossible to visit everyone on the list! This year, I'm including some experiences from other people who were out enjoying the day on a different path than my own!
I hope everyone had a taste of something new from the back door takeouts, purchased something locally made from a locally owned shop and got a much needed energy boost after a long winter to get out there and enjoy this vibrant and exciting city! Keep it going all year long!
I started my day at my favorite coffee shop! Smiling Goat is now in Bishop's Landing, I'm a happy girl
Next stop was Yoga 108 at The Brewery Market. This is where I regularly stretch away the aches and pains of being a photographer carrying too much heavy gear. Always warm and welcoming, it's one of my favorite places to be.
After coffee and yoga, it's straight to the wine tasting at Bishop's cellar!
A little shopping at Unicorn Clothing.
Food trucks Tin Pan Alley and Halifax Press were parked in Bishop's Landing serving large crowds most of the day. The trick is to get there before they sell out!
I always pop by I Heart Bikes to say hello to my friend Sarah. Joining her for Open City was artist Emma Fitzgerald with custom designed t-shirts and mugs.
Taking advantage of I Heart Bike's stylish wheels were ambassadors for NSCAD's Artist for a Day event also happening May 10.
I never seem to time it quite right (too early, too late) but fresh oysters on the waterfront from The Shack sounds like a great idea! I poked my head into Lost Cod Clothing as well, busy printing locally inspired t-shirts for customers.
I was really excited that Dartmouth was participating this year! My first stop was The Canteen who was already sold out of their Open City feature. The "Dartmouth Hangover" looked just as yummy!
This was my first visit to Kept on Portland Street and I wanted to buy just about everything in the shop… lots of quirky gifts and beautiful local artwork. Kids were enjoying making their own Mother's Day cards and the bouquets from Chelsea Lee Flowers Pop-Up Shop were gorgeous.
By 2pm I was ready for a drink! North Brewing Company on Agricola was busy filling growlers at $2 off and the Food Wolf truck outside had a hungry lineup going strong.
Agricola St. Brasserie had the BBQ fired up for their back door takeout Grilled Fish Tacos.
Something fun along the way on Gottigen Street
Scotia Pharmacy had an in-store photobooth and live performance by DJ James Reid.
Ratinaud French Cuisine was as busy as last year and had sold out by the time I got there! Luckily, the folks at Ratinaud and local foodie Lia Rinaldo (Managing Director of Devour! The Food Film Fest) had a few shots I can share. I was sad to miss out on this Pâté Campagne Sandwich with country pâté, in-house pickles, micro greens and dijon mustard.
Photos: @LiaRinaldo and @RatinaudHFX
One of my favorite stops was Field Guide because this Donair Steam Bun and Spring Soda was fantastic! I would have happily ordered two more servings if I wasn't saving room for all the other food to come. I love this spot for drinks and dinner before seeing a play at The Bus Stop Theater.
Edna is a regular for me because I'm addicted to their Southside drink and their salads and risottos. Edna's Open City feature was General Tso Grilled Octopus, w/ pineapple, peanuts, scallions, tempura & sticky rice. We managed to snap up the last one (this would become a theme of the day!)
I always pop by The Foggy Goggle for a Propeller pint and some comfort food along the way… it's a nice break to sit down for a bit and refresh. It was just warm enough for the patio and we shared a Giant Foggy Spud stuffed with bacon, corn, red onion & cheese. Also on the patio, other Open City supporters with an I Love Local HFX t-shirt and a sunflower from the market!
I'll admit, it was a bit chilly to be outside all day walking around… a great place to warm up was World House Tea where Phil always has great suggestions for different tastes and you could also have your tarot cards read!
I do have a favorite of the day for food… Bistro le Coq's Duck Confit Sandwich on Brioche with Truffle Aoli was so delicious, and dangerous… good thing I got the last one or I may have been there eating way too much for the rest of the afternoon. This is also one of my favorite spots for brunch!
Just as it started raining we found a warm place to hide for a bit at Onyx on Argyle. Their back door takeout feature was the Sour Dough Grilled Cheese with Fontina, Prosciutto & Shallot Marmalade. Yum! Big hit with our group and the drinks were fantastic as well. Lot's of interesting cocktails to chose and a beautiful space to chill out and relax for a bit.
Here are some shots from other Open City folk who saw some things I missed!
Obladee was the perfect spot for wine, a few more snacks and live Jazz! Photos: @larakillian
Stubborn Goat GastroPub had live music and BBQ on Grafton Street! Back door takeout was an Oulton's burger with Ran-Cher acres goat paneer, Sriracha slaw & bacon fat mayo. Photo: @TheStubbornGoat

As a photographer who loves vibrant colour, big smiles and lots of laughter, this photo shoot with Colette and Laura of Red Balloon is easily one of my favorites. The concept they brought to me to launch their brand new website was the carnival. Yes please, sign me up! These images are full of energy, whimsy and joy… everything you can expect from an experience with Red Balloon!
I love the positive energy these ladies bring to everything they do. We share a commitment to being an active part of the creative culture here in Halifax and an appreciation of local food and wine (this is important!) There is nothing I love more than connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs to collaborate on creative projects. I'm very proud of this shoot and so thrilled to see Red Balloon be so bold with their creative ideas.
Congratulations to Colette and Laura on your stunning new Red Balloon website!

CNN Pulls Post on Voting Patterns of "Hormonal" Women
Whether a woman (or man) votes Republican or Democrat may depend on several factors, including her upbringing, personal values, religion, geographical location, financial situation, etc. Most women, however, strongly feel that their hormones will not affect the decisions they make at the voting booth this November.
CNN learned that fact the hard way.
On Tuesday, CNN Health posted a story titled, "Do Hormones Drive Women's Votes?" The title alone inspired a bit of online outrage (men's hormones fluctuate too, you know), but some of the assertions made in the post were even more indelicate, including a statement claiming that women "feel sexier" when ovulating, which causes single women to vote more liberally and committed women to push back against those sexy feelings by voting conservatively.
Damn, I'd better make sure I'm not ovulating on Election Day, or I may vote for the wrong person in my hormone-induced stupor of sexiness. Yikes. Needless to say, after major social media backlash, CNN took the post down.
We know what you're thinking: did a 19th century doctor/anti-suffragist who treated women for monthly "hysteria" write this sophomoric nonsense? Amazingly, the answer is no.

Earnings Roundup:Chesapeake Energy,Texas Roadhouse
Among the earnings stories late Monday, May 4, from AP Financial News:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ¿ Chesapeake Energy on Monday posted a nearly $6 billion loss for the first quarter as tumbling natural gas prices forced one of the nation's largest gas producers to write down the value of its gas and oil properties.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) ¿ Restaurant chain Texas Roadhouse Inc. said Monday its first-quarter profit rose 11 percent due primarily to sales at new restaurants.
NEW YORK (AP) ¿ Chinese online game company Changyou.com Ltd., which went public last month, said Monday its first-quarter profit more than doubled as people continued to embrace its games as a form of low-cost entertainment.PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) ¿ Portland General Electric Co., Oregon's largest utility, on Monday said its first-quarter profit rose 11 percent on higher prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes and higher costs. EAST AURORA, N.Y. (AP) ¿ Astronics Corp., which makes lighting and electronics systems for the aerospace industry, said Monday its first-quarter profit tumbled 47 percent because of cost-cutting measures prompted by weaker demand.

Winona Ryder Crowns SAG Awards Two-Timer Club
There are several dozen actors among today's list of nominations for the 2010 SAG Awards who scored double honors: everyone from The Fighter's Christian Bale (Ensemble Cast, Best Supporting) to Boardwalk Empire's Steve Buscemi (Ensemble Cast, Male Drama).
But only one among this group got the double nod for two different credits. That would be Winona Ryder, the actress who a decade ago was indelibly stamped with (the non-Mordecai Richler) version of Barney's. She is up for Best Film Drama Ensemble (The Black Swan) as well as Best TV Movie-Miniseries Female Performance (for 12-step CBS biopic When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story).
It's far too late to call it a comeback. Winona, MN native Ryder has been quietly rebuilding her acting resume ever since the unfortunate shoplifting episode of 2001. In fact, as far back as 2007, outlets like USA Today were proclaiming the incident to be yesterday's retail news.
Still, we think it's worth celebrating with, yes, a shopping trip to Barney's. Way to go Winona! You've proven once again that in Hollywood, there are never bad endings. Just sometimes awkward bridges to sequels.

Hi Messi,
I'm a new member to the GTA Wiki site and I was wanting to make edits to a page but I decided to message you so that you guys are aware of the information and can verify it further, if you choose too.
I have made a website at http://warrenwoodhouse.webs.com/gtav/telephonedirectory which you can view.
It, so far, has all the numbers that I have found while playing on Single Player mode and while viewing videos on YouTube. I put my list together and I discovered that your site's GTA V Phone Numbers list doesn't have all the numbers either but I have a few extra contacts in my list with the actual numbers that you're looking for.
If you want to make updates to your Phone Numbers page on Grand Theft Auto V page on your GTA Wiki, please can you add a reference link back to my site so that others can check it out in the future as well?
Thanks for taking your time to read this message.
If you want, you can also check out my videos at http://youtube.com/warrenwoodhouse and my photos at http://google.com/+warrenwoodhouse/photos
I'm proud to british too. :D
Your Fan & New User,
Warren Woodhouse

I noticed an error on the page for the Pegassi Monroe (http://gta.wikia.com/Monroe). The page states the car is heavily inspired by the Lamborghini Miura then says the Monroe is powered by a V6 which is not true the Lamborghini Miura was powered by a V12. I have done some research on the subject and have found a picture of the Miura's engine compartment and compared it with a picture taken of the Monroe's engine from GTA5 and they look identical. Both pictures have been included in this page to the right if you wish to compare them for yourself.If you should wish to examine the page I have taken the Miura's specifications from the link is: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Miura)
I am only pointing this error out in an attempt to be of assistance in correcting it. Hope it helps. Thanks for your time.

/* Blocked from Bully Wiki /* Edit
Hi there Dan,
My name is Coastercam7788 aka Jakob. I've been on Wikia for a little while now, but I'm still kind of new to it. But here's the story:
Back in about either October, I got a message on my talk page from McJeff saying to use the quote template on Bully Wiki instead of easily typing in the quote. A little while later, he told me again to use it and if I didn't use it, he will block me. I messed up.
The following month, I sent a message to McJeff and apologized for making bad edits, and he told me about if you could mentor me back into Bully Wiki, but he doesn't think that you are required to do that. Then this other guy told me to leave him alone. So I did. If you can help me, I'll be glad, and I promise I'll make good edits on Bully Wiki so I'll make Jeff proud!
It was a pleasure to meet you.
Hi :) I saw the Ursula page of GTA V, and it never mentions Michael and in the trivia it says that you cannot meet her as Michael. However, in my game (I was playing as Michael) she appeared on my mobile and her location was in the map and when I meet her she told me to take her home, I remember one of the stuff she said was I'm so happy we're boyfriend and girlfriend now and Michael always keeps saying stuff like yea, great and short words to kinda stop her from talking. When I took her to her house, she told me to follow her inside and they had sex and I remember she shouted "Daddy!" and Michael said something like "I still got it." So I think it should be removed that she never interects with Michael as in fact she does. :)

The Fastest Bike Edit
Hello and firstly I want to say that there are two thing that I want to discuss with you 1.The car penumbra featuring in gta 5 has been classified as a sport car in the classification table found at the bottom which in fact is not a sport car unless upgraded and is listed as a coupe in game and even the description in the wikia says so. 2.Recently I saw a video of a youtuber who compares the characteristic of various vehicles within the class and I saw a video of him comparing the Dinka Thrust with the Shitzu Hakuchou as the Last Team Standing dlc had been out and while watching the video we can see that the thrust is actually faster than the hakuchou but the acceleration of the thrust is too less to notice and in another video when he compares both the bati 801 and hakuchou the hakuchou is comparatively faster thus making the thrus the fastes bike in the whole game albeit really hard to notice the link for the hakuchou vs thrust is given below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9JZ8nIA9mU and the link for hakuchou vs bati 801 is given below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcwltZntUPA

Shutdown Impact: Veterans Regional Offices Close
The National Weather Service is forecasting weather and issuing warnings while the National Hurricane Center continues to track storms. The scientific work of the U.S. Geological Survey has been halted.
The FBI estimates that about 80 percent of its 34,000 employees are working and says it is prepared to meet any immediate threats. However, activities are suspended for other, longer-term investigations of crimes. Training and other support functions have been slashed.MILITARY The military's 1.4 million active-duty personnel remain on duty. About half of the Defense Department's civilian employees were furloughed, but Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered nearly all 350,000 back on the job. The shutdown created a ripple effect with some defense contractors. Lockheed Martin said Monday that it was furloughing about 2,400 workers. Top defense officials noted that critical programs and benefits remain halted. For example, the department does not have the authority to pay death gratuities for the survivors of service members killed in action â¿¿ typically a cash payment of $100,000 within three days of the death of a service member. The Obama administration said Wednesday that a private charity would pick up the costs of the payments during the shutdown and be reimbursed later. The military has also stopped providing tuition assistance for service members taking college courses during off-duty hours. VETERANS SERVICES Veterans are still able to get inpatient care at hospitals and mental health counseling at vet centers and outpatient clinics because Congress approved funding for VA health care programs one year in advance. Operators are also staffing the crisis hotline. The VA says its efforts to reduce the backlog in disability benefit claims have been stalled because claims processors are no longer being required to work 20 hours of overtime per month. Access to regional VA offices has been suspended, making it harder for veterans to get information about their benefits and the status of their claims. If the shutdown continues into late October, the VA warns that compensation and pension payments to veterans will be halted.

Cal Thomas is a Nice Guy
His column, written as it is by a solid Protestant who knows the media hates Ethical Monotheism of all stripes, is appreciated. But one hardly knows how to receive it as a Catholic who knows perfectly well that, in this instance, the media are largely right in their reportage and, but for them, evil men like Paul Shanley would still be loose and stupid and (dare I say it) wicked bishops would still be attacking their victims and protecting them. To his credit, Thomas does not focus on the accurate reportage but on the moronic punditry. The American press has been like an idiot savant about the priest scandal, they get the facts right and then draw conclusion from those facts that are spectularly stupid.
Somebody has to teach the NY Times editorial board to distinguish between the facts (largely damning ones about the behavior of abusive priests and the bishops who love them) and the extraordinarily stupid and perverse conclusions guys like Bill Keller draw from them (which is that we need more priests and laypeople like Shanley, asserting sexual libertinism and contempt for Catholic teaching, and fewer bishops willing to do anything about it). Similarly, drowning people need to be in contact with the shore. Since the shore is made of rock, drowning people need stones tied around their necks.
Anyway, thanks Cal. Your support for our poor Church is appreciated in this hour.

Three months ago, Michael Carrick was rounded on by England fans for making himself unavailable for the European Championship.
On Wednesday, he was wearing the captain's armband in a friendly win over Italy, speaking positively about his future in the national team and being hailed by some as the answer to England's problems in midfield.
Talk about a change in fortunes.
In the absence of rested pair Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker, Carrick brought composure and an impressive range of passing in England's 2-1 victory in Bern, Switzerland.
One of England's major problems at Euro 2012 was its failure to keep hold of ball - an issue often highlighted at major tournaments over the past decade when compared to the pass-happy midfield units of Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal.
That's something new coach Roy Hodgson is looking to address, so Carrick could find himself called upon when the qualifying for the 2014 World Cup starts next month.
"There is a new regime, a new manager, and things are looking great and I'd like to be part of the World Cup qualification campaign," a revitalized Carrick said Thursday.
"Now I am happy, and I am more than happy to be here. I spoke with the manager and what has gone on in the past, we have drawn a line under that."
Carrick was a dependable regular for Manchester United last season, but his last appearance for England before Wednesday had come in May 2010.
He made himself unavailable for England at the start of 2012 and made it known to Hodgson that he was unwilling to travel to Poland and Ukraine for the Euros if he wasn't going to be involved.
"That was a decision I made - and I stand by that - but, like I said, I've drawn a line under that now," Carrick said.
If he is to keep his place in the team for the World Cup qualifiers, Carrick will likely be up against Scott Parker for the spot as England's midfield anchorman.
Parker had a decent Euro 2012, forming a good partnership with captain Gerrard as England progressed through to the quarterfinals before losing on penalties to Italy, but isn't as efficient in possession as Carrick.
The United player combined well with Frank Lampard and Tom Cleverley in central midfield against Italy and that may sway Hodgson's thinking when he chooses his side for qualifying matches against Moldova and Ukraine in the space of four days in September.
"It is not about systems, it is more about players," Hodgson said. "The three guys in midfield passed the ball and controlled the ball well and the wide players did well too.
"It was not much different to the Euros but perhaps we showed more composure on ball and maybe passed it a bit better."
Carrick even wore the captain's armband for 20 minutes against the Italians after Lampard was substituted.
"It was special to me to wear the jersey after such a long time but having the armband made it really special."
