The Best New Restaurants 2012
The five most exciting things in dining now. Plus: Our favorite hostess, cooking advice (from the chefs), restaurateurs (one legend, one up-and-comer), five talented chefs to watch, recipes, and Esquire's awards for Dish of the Year, Chef of the Year, and Best New Restaurant.
By John Mariani
2. But the Big, Splashy Restaurant Is Not Dead
There has been much hullabaloo recently about diners' alleged distaste for the kind of meal that's eaten in a soaring, stylish, grown-up room with a maître d' and maybe a little neon. You know — fun. Turns out that meal is still very much in demand.
Campo, Reno, Nevada
At few places is the evolution of Italian food in America more apparent than at Campo. Chef-owner Mark Estee and chef Arturo Moscoso have absorbed and translated all the lessons of both Italian-American and regional cucina italiana with a personal commitment to making everything in-house, from the pizzas, all charred and bubbly, to the fresh and aged salumi. They're doing whole-hog cooking — two whole hogs a week, in fact, from which come sausages, salamis, forcemeats, headcheese, pâtés, terrines, and all manner of charcuterie.
Though Reno is hardly a crucible of modern Italian food, Estee believed the locals and visitors were ready for Campo. "The simple pizza-pasta formula is well proven here, but what I saw in Reno was that Whole Foods was always packed, and when I did cooking demos there, it was wall-to-wall people," he says. "I thought it was time to get away from the red sauce and do a more rustic style. I've been blown away by the reception. We sell a ton of off-the-beaten-path dishes, although the headcheese isn't moving too well." Baby steps. It'll get there. 50 North Sierra Street; 775-737-9555; camporeno.com

On June 26, playing to a near sold out auditorium at Christ the King High School, the Stanford Dance Studio celebrated their 40th anniversary with their production of "Fabulous at 40." The show promised to be one of the most exciting, colorful and entertaining productions in their 40 year history and they were right.
As the overture played the auditorium lit up with special effects lighting that changed colors to complement each dance. The curtain then opened and Michelle Napolitano-Schwartz, Greg Sinacori, Susan Cardamone, Tiffany DeFalco and Gina Masullo, led the junior, senior and alumni advanced jazz classes in a fun, exciting and colorful number titled "Brand New Day." The dancers, all dressed in sequined gold costumes, came to life and danced in, through and around an enormous picture frame which started the show off on the right foot.
The nursery classes this year stole the show with their big smiles, adorable costumes and difficult dance moves performed without the aid of their instructors. Such numbers as "Lollipop," "Ballerina Girls" and "Shake Your Tail Feather," brought the audience to a thunderous applause.
This year the advanced tap and hip-hop numbers, showed the versatility of the students performing in a wide range of genres from today's hits like "Get Low" and "Sexy Chicks" to oldies but goodies like Broadway's Tony award-winning tap classic "42nd Street."
"Pirates At Sea," took the audience on a journey through the high seas with a production of over 40 students dancing with seven foot oars, chains and pirate flags. This number was truly a spectacle to watch and brought the audience to their feet
Closing the first act was an outstanding star-studded production number titled "Divas." The Stanford dancers showed off their skills in jazz and hip-hop as they brought to the stage musical performances by Madonna, Fergie, Tina Turner and Beyonce. With over 50 of the Stanford dancers filling the stage there was no better way to close the first act then with a production of this magnitude.
The Stanford Studio came back in Act II with many more surprises. They kicked off the act with a beautiful junior ballet number titled "Wish Upon A Star," followed by an intricate junior hip-hop dance, "Drama Queens." The studio is known for training their students in many different styles of dance and this year was no exception.
Other highlights of Act II were the precision tap numbers like "Jailhouse Rock" and "Dancin' Fool," the sexy productions from "Chicago" and "Nine," the beautifully moving "Via Dolorosa," a very emotional and dramatic contemporary piece titled "Gravity" and a glow-in-the-dark visually stimulating fantasy "Moe's Art," which ended with a ballerina suspended high above the rest of the dancers on the stage.
This year for the 40th anniversary, the studio started an alumni class which was comprised of students who had danced at the studio in the past. Some of the students in the class had been with the studio for 25 years. Under the direction of Susan Cardamone they revived such classics as "I'm a Woman" and "Blow the Speakers" which brought back many memories for those dancing as well as for the audience.
Another new edition to the Stanford Studio this year was the creation of the area's first all boy hip-hop dance crew. The Stanford Boyz performed a mix of music from Chris Brown, Lil John and Run DMC. The Boyz' ranging in age from 6-12, brought the audience to their feet with thunderous applause and truly stole the show.
Closing such an exciting evening full of showstopping numbers must not have been an easy task, but the Stanford Studio succeeded in bringing the audience one of their biggest, brightest and most colorful production numbers yet. With choreography by Michelle Napolitano-Schwartz and Greg Sinacori, the entire studio and staff along with guest stars Joann Krudis and Michael Brincat brought good old Baltimore in the 1960s back to life in this outstanding production. Complete with life-sized houses and over-the-top costumes and wigs, over 60 of the Stanford students danced their hearts out in their final number "You Can't Stop The Beat."
ýhe dancers truly outdid themselves this year in creating one of the most exciting and entertaining recitals the Queens area has ever seen. Congratulations to Michelle Napolitano-Schwartz, the staff and all the amazing students at the Stanford Studio for a job really well done.

Uh oh. Hide your black cats, ladders, and prevent all black cats from walking underneath ladders. The Bills are on one of Sports Illustrated's regional covers this week.
This is the seventh time the Bills have appeared on the cover of SI, and the last time was eight years ago. Maybe the key to national attention in Buffalo is to open a case of whoop ass on the Patriots, because that 2003 cover also featured a pick six against Tom Brady during a surprise win for the Bills.
It was a little, well, odd, and captured a rumbling, 351 pound Sam Adams in full sprint.

Looking toward downtown, the I-4/SR 408 Interchange offers a glimpse of the trans4mation to come.
Interstate 4 is often called the backbone of transportation in Central Florida. Drivers make 1.5 million trips daily on segments of I-4 in Osceola, Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties. I-4 not only provides a crucial link between Tampa on the gulf coast and Daytona Beach on the east coast, but also plays a vital role serving one of the world's most vibrant and popular travel destinations, Central Florida. The interstate opened in the 1960's and since that time, in response to rapid population and tourism growth, FDOT has continued to improve I-4.
This Trans4mation of I-4 is essential to Central Florida as traffic volumes continue to increase along with the number of people that are projected to live, work and recreate in the area. FDOT officials recognized that the existing I-4 could not support this growth, and began the Project Development and Environmental Study (PD&E) in 1997. This study was completed in 2002 and provided a blueprint called the "Ultimate Plan" for the "Future I-4," including concepts for roadway design, noise walls, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The projects have already begun to shape the way I-4 feels and looks, but more importantly, how it flows. For example, one concept in the future plan, auxiliary lanes, has been added to the existing I-4. These new lanes add safety and efficiency for entering and exiting traffic.
The Trans4mation to date is impressive, but some of the biggest improvements to mobility and safety are yet to come. I-4 is now at least three lanes in each direction from Tampa to S.R. 44 in Volusia County. But a much more dramatic Trans4mation is planned for I-4 from Kirkman Road to S.R. 434. This is referred to as "The Ultimate I-4 Plan".
The Ultimate I-4 Plan through Metropolitan Orlando consists of reconstructing nearly twenty miles of I-4 from Kirkman Road to east of SR 434. This stretch of I-4 is divided into six separate projects each of which is in planning phases. The enhancements include widening I-4 to four general use lanes in each direction and two special use lanes in each direction as well as improvements at each interchange in the project corridor.Beyond SR 434 FDOT plans to improve the I-4 and SR 46 interchange to provide better traffic flow in Sanford. In Volusia County I-4 improvements include adding a third I-4 lane in both directions from S.R. 44 to U.S. 92, building three wildlife crossings and improving the I-4 and U.S. 92 interchange.

I am adding bathroom fans to the house I recently moved into. I've used the Panasonic whisperline before and liked them, but I actually would like to have a fan with a little noise so as to be able to create some privacy for the person using the bathroom. I don't want a fan that sounds noisy, clunky and not well made, but I'm thinking something that puts off a good bit of "white noise". Does anyone have any suggestions for a fan that is a little noisy? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've heard people say this before, but as a guest, it would never occur to me to turn on the fan BEFORE I'm finished! So, you may go to all this trouble, and have it be a feature that is not really utilized! LOL Could you address this issue with a radio? If you really want a noisy fan, I guess you could just look for one with a higher Sones rating. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sones- sound level of fans

Perhaps I'm very self conscious about bathroom noises, but one of the first things I look for when I enter a bathroom in someone else's home is how to turn on the fan. I know we all "go", but I don't want anyone else to hear me doing it! At any rate, you should be able to ask your electrician to wire your light and fan so that they operate from the same switch - when one switch is turned on, both light and fan turn on. Also, ask your HVAC company to install baffles, so that the sounds from the bathroom don't get microphoned into other parts of the house. Our HVAC guy told us that if we didn't get the baffles, every tinkle would be heard throughout the house! I don't think it was an expensive upgrade, either (new construction, though). |
- Posted by LePetomane (My Page) on Thu, Feb 6, 14 at 21:03
The major hardware places like Lowes all have display fans that you can turn on to check out all the features, including the fan. My mother-in-law uses the radio trick- when the light comes on, so does the radio. It is annoying if you want to turn the bathroom light on in the middle of the night, though. |
While not environmentally friendly, you can always run water to hide bathroom noises. I also like a noisy fan, it helps remind me to shut it off; the next one will be on a timer. |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 8:47
Our bathroom fans operate on a motion sensor. They turn on when someone walks in the room. No suggestions on which fan other than perhaps a lower end of a good brand may be more noisy than the top end. |

Not a lot of time to donate? No problem! In-kind donations are always welcome. We have wish lists available for suggested donations - family packs are always in need.
Are you looking for a project for your group or organization? As we care for our patients here at ACH, we also care for their families! Many of the families here have unexpected stays. We have a need for "family packs".
A family pack is a Ziploc bag (7-8 inches or 1 quart) full of small toiletries and personal hygiene items. Individual toiletry items can also be used (not packaged together). Travel size items are desired for convenience-toothbrushes, small toothpastes, mouthwash, combs, soaps, shampoo/conditioners, lotions, deodorants, razors, and small sewing kits. Small writing tablets and ink pens are also appreciated. Individual ethnic hair care items are also a need - shampoo, hair and scalp conditioner, oil moisturizer, oil sheen spray, and styling gel.
As many of our families have unexpected or long stays in our waiting areas, the following items can make a difference in their comfort: phone chargers (especially for iPhones), individually wrapped snack items (chips, crackers, cookies, granola bars, etc.), individually wrapped breakfast items (honey buns, pastries, muffins, etc.), fruit cups, hot tea bags, hot chocolate, crossword puzzles and card games/adult board games.
These items are provided to our parents and caregivers who have a need for them during their hospital stay. If you would like to donate these items, please email or call our office for more information (email@example.com or 501-364-1825).
Our Heart Center here at Arkansas Children's Hospital treats a variety of ages of patients here for an extended amount of time. Listed below are the items that our families often need. If you are interested in donating items to help these patients and families, please contact Volunteer Services at email@example.com or by calling 501-364-1825 for more details.
Many of our Burn Center patients have long stays here at ACH. Your group or organization can help make their stay a little more comfortable by providing certain supplies! Our Burn Center treats both adult and pediatric patients, so we need activities to occupy a wide age-range of patients. Toiletry items (soaps, lotions, etc.), DVDs, portable CD players, music CDs, phone cards, pajamas (preferably button-down), robes, and slippers can help make a patient's stay more comfortable.
Scarves, hats, gloves, and even picture frames make great gifts for these patients as well.
Right now we are in need of cotton button-down pajamas for our adult patients. Please contact Volunteer Services (email@example.com or 501-364-1825) with any questions.
Many times children in our Emergency Department have been involved in an accident or other event and need comfortable, non-binding clothing to go home in. Your group or organization can help supply us with these clothing items!
We are in need of shorts, solid-colored T-shirts, sweatpants and sweatshirts (child and adult sizes, neutral colors for boys and girls). Please contact Volunteer Services (firstname.lastname@example.com or 501-364-1825) with any questions!

HOSPITABLE IS the word that defines the bar business. Hospitality industry, we have all heard it. The word hospitable itself is easy enough to define: Friendly and welcoming to strangers or guests.
It was with this idea in mind as I approached the couple hovering two or three paces behind where people normally hover when they want to order drinks.
I got the immediate sense that they "weren't from around here." Not because of what they said or did, but rather from what they didn't say or do. They were gracious and unassuming, not to say that many people around here are not, but these two were just more so than I have seen in quite a while.
"Can we sit at the bar while we wait for our table?"
"Of course you may," I said. "That is what we are here for."
Nothing disarms more completely than politeness.
"Can you make a fizz?" asked the fairer half of the couple.
"Sure. What kind would you like?" I said, noting mentally that Ramos Fizzes, Buck's Fizzes and Gin Fizzes are all very different drinks.
In fact, Collins and French 75's are just variants of the fizz. And Rickeys are just Collins with lime instead of lemon, but I digress.
"Gin, please," she said. "Sloe gin, with egg whites."
"Sloe gin?" I said, perhaps in a manner less than inviting. "And egg whites?"
Now, I haven't made a sloe gin fizz in probably 20 years. Sloe gin, lemon juice and soda water, wow. Didn't the Aerosmith song "Rag Doll" feature the lyrics: "Sloe gin fizzy/do it till you're dizzy/give it all you got until you're put out of your misery?" And yet, here was someone barely older than 20 ordering one. I smiled at the thought, thinking back to my last sloe gin beverage: 1980s, Day on the Green, a Boda Bag of sloe gin and Sprite, and a blonde tanned to perfection "...
"Mister," said my polite charges. "Are you all right?"
Nothing makes one feel less cool and hip, than being called "mister."
"Uh ... " I said. "I don't think I even carry sloe gin anymore."
Sloe gin is a reddish liqueur made from the sloe, a drupe which is similar to a plum, traditionally made by steeping the fruit in gin. Sloes, like cranberries or pomegranates (both noted cocktail ingredients), are not sweet. In fact, on their own, they are quite bitter — so bitter that liberal amounts of sugar must be added to make the liqueur palatable. The result is that sloe gins are usually quite sweet, and often quite low in alcohol.
In fact, most sloe gins produced these days no longer contains gin, but rather a neutral grain spirit. The U.S. government defines sloe gin as: "a cordial or liqueur, with the main characteristic flavor derived from sloe berries." Ironic, of course, because the sloe is not a berry at all. But I guess even the feds can get things wrong.
"Oh," said Miss Polite in a manner that indicated she now felt awkward.
"You know, I do have cherry liqueur and sloe gin tastes a lot like cherry."
"I don't want to be any trouble," she said.
Again, obviously not from around here.
It is an amazing coincidence how when a person really doesn't want to be any trouble, other people are more apt to go through quite a lot of trouble for them.
I mixed up the drink using Cherry Heering, gin, fresh lemon juice and the requested egg white — no soda since the fizz would come from the egg.
Two tries later and she smiled with red foam flecked lips.
"This is the best sloe gin fizz I've ever had," she said happily.
This left me with these thoughts:
In my 30 or so bartending books (some going back to the 1800s), no recipe for a sloe gin fizz calls for egg white.
Plymouth gin makes a great version of sloe gin, using real gin.
Umeshu is a liqueur made from unripe Chinese plums, also called Japanese apricots, which are neither plum nor apricot nor drupe, but it tastes like a drier sloe gin. Umeshu fizzes anyone?
The Rolling Stones were right when they sang, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you just might find you get what you need."

PUNE: Researchers from Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal will undertake detailed mapping of Purnagad, a hill fort in Ratnagiri district, using 'Total Station', an electronic instrument used in modern surveying. The fort was built in 1724 AD by Kanhoji Angre, chief of the Maratha Navy.
The mandal recently received a grant of Rs 1.5 lakh from the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) for the two-year project. Researchers said that mapping the fort is of importance particularly because the Maratha period fort has Maratha architecture untouched by other architectural influences. The team also plans to explore trade activities in the fort before 1860.
Researcher Sachin Joshi said, "Most hill forts have not been mapped in detail. We chose Purnagad because its fortification, gateways, bastions, and other structures are considerably intact, when compared to other forts. Detailed drawings can be done easily."
Joshi said the fort is located in a remote location, on a 50-m hill on the banks of the river Muchakundi and covers 22 acres.
The project will be completed under the guidance of the mandal's expert S M Bhave.
"Instead of manual mapping, we have opted to use Total Station, an instrument used for road mapping. It will help us map the different contours of the fort. Places where canons were stationed, residential areas, storerooms and granaries will be mapped," he said.
Though the ceilings have crumbled, the walls remain. "These structures can be reconstructed later. This is precisely why mapping is undertaken. Many of the 350-odd forts in Maharashtra are dilapidated and not all can be conserved. Hence, detailed mapping and documentation should be carried out so that elements of these forts can be reconstructed later when financial grants are available," said Joshi.
Mapping the fort is important because of its Maratha architecture. "Many other forts of this period have architectural influences of other dynasties such as Adil Shahi or Mughal. Purnagad has pure Maratha architecture. We can also use architectural elements in this fort for a comparative analysis of those in other forts," he said.
The researchers will also study the ethno-archaeological aspects of the area surrounding the fort to find out the activities undertaken before 1860. "The Sawantwadi and Ratnagiri Gazetteer of 1880 briefly mentions the trade activities undertaken here around 1870s. We want to go further back in our exploration of the fort," he said.
Notably, the Sawantwadi and Ratnagiri Gazetteer said: Purnagad was a small port with limited trading activities during the 1819 A.D. The average yearly trade was valued at Rs 13,2455, of which exports were worth Rs 72,674 and imports worth Rs 59,781.
Under the Peshwa government, no revenue was exacted from fields within the fort as they were cultivated by men staying in the fort.
In 1829, though freed from service, the inhabitants still continued to enjoy the land rent-free. In 1862, except about 30 feet that had crumbled away, the walls of the fort were in good shape. There were about seven guns and about 70 cannon balls on the fort.

Read what the world renowned 'Beach Hunter' had to say about our beach:
Best Family Beach - Anna Maria Island Beaches
Truthfully, there are many great family beaches on the Florida Gulf Coast. I choose Manatee County Public Beach as the best because it is on the most family friendly island AND is a great family beach. I should know, I grew up on this beach. This beach and the island it's on are still family oriented. The beach is located west of the City of Bradenton, at the western end of Manatee Avenue (Highway 64). The sand is beautiful and white, the water is calm, clean, and shallow enough to be kid-friendly. The beach is protected by lifeguards and there are restroom facilities, outdoor showers, a gift shop, a pier to walk on or to fish from, a picnic area, and of course there is the Cafe On The Beach when you get hungry.
Anna Maria is a residential community that caters to a wide range of visitors from all over the world. It is a quiet island without high-rises, big hotels, or nightlife. The focus is on relaxing and enjoying the beach and the community.
There are plenty of restaurants, from seafood to Italian and Indian cuisine and everything in-between. From Manatee Public Beach you can walk all the way to the north tip of the island if you care to (many do) in about 2 hours. If you need some adventure, go parasailing, take a charter fishing trip or a tour boat to Egmont Key. People who vacation on Anna Maria Island keep coming back year after year.
Another great thing about Anna Maria is the beautiful water. Anna Maria has some of the clearest water on the west coast of Florida. The water was so beautiful I just couldn't stop taking photos!
We receive more repeat business for this property than any other property I have because it offers so much more including heated pool, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach coolers, bikes, unlimited movie channels, unlimited long distance calling, ultra-high speed internet and much more

Product Description
Eleven years ago, Ross McConnell was devastated by the betrayal of the woman of his dreams. Time does not heal all wounds, and after more than a decade, Ross is no closer to finding love. When his well-meaning family attempts to play matchmaker, he concedes by creating a list detailing his perfect mate: A member of the Church. Beauty-queen looks. College educated. Never married. Perhaps he'll give love another try, if such perfection exists . . .
Natalie Forrester is no stranger to heartache. After two failed marriages, the beautiful single mother of three is determined to make it on her own. Without a college degree, she starts at the bottom: working as a housekeeper may not be glamorous, but it's her first exhilarating step toward independence. And Natalie's most recent cleaning job is ideal—the guy is always out of town, and the pay will go a long way toward supporting her missionary son. Maybe luck is finally on her side.
And then Ross and Natalie meet . . . and meet again. And following a series of awkward encounters, Ross is shocked by his growing attraction for this woman. Natalie couldn't be farther from his ideal woman, and she is firm in her determination to keep her heart closed to love. But as their tenuous friendship develops and deepens, will the unlikely pair have the courage to set aside the disappointments of the past to catch hold of a bright new future?

The title of this book is UNEXPECTED...and this book really is UNEXPECTED! So many unexpected twists in the story you are not really sure the book is going to turn out the way you expected. Ross is devastated when his girlfriend betrays his proposal and returns to her former boyfriend. Natalie is just trying to provide for her three children as a single mother, by being a housekeeper. As fate would have it, Ross' housekeeper is out on a family emergency and has asked Natalie to take over for her. Natalie and Ross first meet while Natalie is tap-dancing in his beautiful kitchen...funny story to us readers...not so funny to Ross and Natalie :) Things just keep getting worse...especially when Natalie finds out that Ross has a "list" of the perfect woman and it includes everything Natalie isn't. Read about more funny situations Ross keeps finding Natalie in...and the many tender moments they spend with their families. And wait until you read about midnight sleigh riding, New Year's Eve parties in New York, facing-off with an ex-husband, taking care of her girls, and how that unexpected ending is so PERFECT! I really, really, really, liked this book!

Revenue bureau releases new ITR forms
-A A +AMonday, September 19, 2011
THE Bureau of Internal Revenue has released new income tax return (ITR) forms for individual and corporate taxpayers covering taxable year 2011.
Released under Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) 40-2011 were enhanced versions of BIR Form No. 1700 for annual ITR for individuals earning purely compensation income; Form No. 1701 for annual ITR for self-employed individuals, estates and trusts; and Form No. 1702 for corporation, partnership and other non-individual taxpayers.
"All juridical entities following the fiscal year of reporting are likewise required to use the new BIR Form No. 1702 starting with those covered by fiscal year ending January 31, 2012," stated RMC 40 dated September 5, 2011.
Form 1700 is filed by employees except those expressly exempted by law from filing the same and except employees qualified under the "substituted filing scheme." With the issuance of the new Form 1700, however, pure compensation income earners whose annual taxable income derived from within the Philippines exceeds P500,000 and on which income the correct income tax has been correctly withheld are now required to file.
Employees earning compensation income concurrently from two or more employers at any time during a taxable year shall likewise file said return, including filling up Part IV, which refers to supplemental information on gross income/receipts subject to final withholding tax and gross income/receipts exempt from income tax.
Also required to file the return "but only Part I and Part IV thereof are individuals, estates and trusts whose sole income has been subjected to final withholding tax in excess of P125,000 annually, whether remitted or not to the BIR, and individuals whose sole income is exempt from income tax where the total annual (exempt) income exceeds P500,000."
For BIR Form 1701, those required under the law to file the same should also fill out Part VIII or the supplemental information on gross income/receipts subject to final withholding tax and gross income/receipts exempt from income tax.
The new BIR Form 1702, meanwhile, includes a section on taxpayer activity profile and on tax relief availment. (Cheryl G. Cruz)

A perfect storm of Mother's Day, sunshine, and annual planting time converge to make this the biggest nursery shopping weekend of the year. My husband fondly remembers buying and planting red geraniums for his Mom every year; in our family Mother's Day was all about fuchsia baskets. Today's equivalents are probably coleus and abutilons, but the celebration of Moms and spring and warmer weather is pretty much the same.
Since you'll no doubt be cruising a nursery or two in the next few days, here's a heads up on a couple of very cool new plants due out this spring:
Sapphire Indigo clematis is an award winner for its profuse dark violet flowers which open from spring through autumn. This is an easy to manage clematis, because it grows slowly and so compact that it's ideal to grow in a pot or along a low fence.
Sunny Knock Out rose looks like a small-scale version of the classic 'Sally Holmes' which is one of the most beloved roses, ever. It seems an improvement over other roses in the Knock Out series, but maybe that's just because I love yellow roses...the fragrant flowers are larger than other Knock Outs, and they open a bright yellow and fade to cream. 'Sunny' is tough and disease resistant, and grows four to five feet tall and three feet wide.
Magical fantasy weigela (W. florida 'Kolsunn') was bred by a cut flower guy in the Netherlands, and no wonder - both variegated foliage and long-blooming pink flowers are great vase fodder. This pretty weigela isn't one of those leggy old-fashioned ones, but tops out at a trim three to four feet tall and wide.

Project Amazon: Water Harvesting by Johanna Bengtsson
Lund University, MA Industrial Design
After spending a month in a Brazilian community near the Amazon, Johanna Bengtsson designed a water-pumping device that is powered by the flow of the Solimões River.

NEW DELHI: In the last one year, the erstwhile Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) had sealed hundreds of properties in the city. But post-trifurcation, people are having a tough time in getting their properties desealed.
The six zonal offices in North Delhi Municipal Corporation have received 93 applications for de-sealing of properties in the last few months. Since January this year, just nine properties have been de-sealed so far. Officials attribute the delay in processing files pertaining to desealing of buildings to lack of documents provided by the owners. But sources say that the process got delayed due to municipal elections followed by trifurcation of MCD. "Work has suffered a lot due to trifurcation. As officials were posted to different corporations, most the files couldn't be processed,'' said an official.
The matter was raised in the recent standing committee meeting by BJP councillor Ram Kishan Singhal. "We have to expedite the process of desealing of properties. If a property owner has altered the construction of the building as per the approved plan and all the documents are in place, then we should not delay de-sealing of the property,'' said Singhal, who is also a member of the standing committee of North Corporation.
As per the data provided by the North corporation, since January this year 44 properties have been sealed in Karol Bagh zone. Till July, 32 people have applied for de-sealing of their properties but only five have been de-sealed. Similarly, 31 applications for desealing were received by Sadar Paharganj zone but just four properties have been desealed. According to officials, "Most properties can't be desealed as the owners don't have necessary documents. Moreover, de-sealing is a lengthy process."
The ruling BJP has directed the officials to clear the backlog. "In cases where buildings can't be desealed we should tell the owner to exact reason. We can't make people suffer due to administrative delays. We will workout a way so that files pertaining to desealing are cleared in a time-bound manner,'' said Yogender Chandolia, chairman standing committee.

Soccer: Predicting the USA 30 Man Camp Roster
With the major European leagues wrapping up this weekend coach Jurgen Klinsmann has no further room for evaluation and is rumored to be ready to pick his 30-Man preliminary roster for the 2014 World Cup on Monday. This camp squad will gather in Palo Alto later this week for intense training, stiff competition, and preparation for the three upcoming domestic friendlies.
On June 2, Klinsmann must trim this group down to 23 players, all of whom will be representing the country in Brazil. The final roster must come out of this preliminary 30, so with no further delay lets dive in and guess who will be traveling to California.
- Tim Howard – Everton – Premier League
- Brad Guzan – Aston Villa – Premier League
- Nick Rimando – Real Salt Lake – MLS
If I were placing bets on accuracy, I'd bet here. This group has been rock-solid for the better part of this cycle. The only real competition over the past four years was determining the third string job behind Howard and Guzan. However, Nick Rimando cemented said position through consistent performances at club level and a stellar showing at last summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup. Not only will all three be in Palo Alto this week but also are all guaranteed a spot on the plane to Sao Paulo.
- Fabian Johnson – Hoffenheim – German Bundesliga
- Matt Besler – Sporting Kansas City – MLS
- Geoff Cameron – Stoke City – Premier League
- Omar Gonzalez – Los Angeles Galaxy – MLS
- DeMarcus Beasley – Puebla – Mexican Premiera
- Brad Evans – Seattle Sounders – MLS
- John Anthony Brooks – Hertha Berlin – Germany
- DeAndre Yedlin – Seattle Sounders – MLS
- Clarence Goodson – San Jose Earthquakes – MLS
- Timmy Chandler – Nurnberg – German Bundesliga
This group is a hodge-podge of consistent contributors and new faces. European-based vets Fabian Johnson and Geoff Cameron just completed great seasons in the Bundesliga and Premier League respectively. Omar Gonzalez and Brad Evans, formerly consistent names in the first XI during qualifying are both coming back from lower-body injuries but should be healthy by the time camp kicks off. Evans appears to be in fine form even after his time off; Gonzalez however, continues to flounder leaving his spot in the starting lineup in question. DeAndre Yedlin and John Brooks are two young guys in fine form at their respective clubs and could be talented assets in Brazil. The shocking name here is clearly Timmy Chandler. His continuous love-hate relationship with the USMNT has been beyond frustrating for Klinsmann and fans alike and most would not like to see his dissent rewarded with a plane ticket with Brazil. Coming off a solid season at Nurnberg and with no real threats behind him at the position it wouldn't be a surprise to see Chandler's name on the call-sheet.
- Michael Bradley – Toronto FC – MLS
- Jermaine Jones – Bestikas – Turkish Super Lig
- Graham Zusi – Sporting Kansas City – MLS
- Landon Donovan – Los Angeles Galaxy – MLS
- Mix Diskerud – Rosenborg – Norway
- Alejandro Bedoya – Nantes – France
- Kyle Beckerman – Real Salt Lake – MLS
- Julian Green – Bayern Munich – Germany
- Maurice Edu – Philadelphia Union – MLS
- Brad Davis – Houston Dynamo – MLS
- Brek Shea – Stoke City – MLS
Julian Green hasn't played club football since separating his shoulder in the Mexico friendly but most still think that his spot in the final-23 was the olive the got him to pick the United States over Germany. Maurice Edu, formerly a US regular, hasn't been a consistent fixture since his disappointing move to Stoke. However, after regaining his form and his confidence playing with the Union he's earned his place in Palo Alto. Brad Davis, fresh off injury is the only true lefty on the squad and his dynamite at set pieces, there could certainly be a place for that skillset on the squad. Speaking of unique skill-sets, Brek Shea just has to be in camp even though his move to Europe has been disastrous. Shea has excelled each time he's taken the field for the US, and even with his club struggles, deserves a fresh tryout.
- Clint Dempsey – Seattle Sounders – MLS
- Jozy Altidore – Sunderland – Premier League
- Aron Johansson – AZ Alkmaar – Eredivisie
- Terrence Boyd – Rapid Wein – Austria
- Chris Wondolowski – San Jose Earthquakes – MLS
- Eddie Johnson – DC United – MLS
If you don't know how good Clint Dempsey has been lately then you've been living under a rock and you must have stumbled on a soccer article by accident. Terrence Boyd, Aron Johansson, and Wondo too have been stellar for their squads and most certainly will be in camp. Jozy Altidore is as good as in but needs to play with a chip on his shoulder in order to establish himself as the premier striker we all thought he could be when he transferred to Sunderland last summer. EJ is struggling with his new club and has yet to net a goal, but his consistent play for the national squad and versatility make him an asset, or at the very least, worthy of a spot in camp.

Empty Homes
We are committed to increasing the supply of affordable housing, tackling homelessness and improving the condition of housing. One way to achieve this is bringing empty properties back into use and we are currently reviewing our policy in this area.
You may know of properties standing empty in your town or village. Empty properties are a wasted resource and could be brought back into use to provide a home for someone and an income toĀthe owner through sale or rent.
Empty properties can have negative effects on a community such as attracting vandalism, anti-social behaviour, arson and also reducing house prices of neighbouring properties.
We are actively seeking to identify empty properties across the district. We aim to offer encouragement and advice to owners so that properties can be used again as homes.
If you know of an empty property or if you are an owner of an emptyĀhome and wish to bringĀit back into use, please call 01327 322292 for further advice and possible assistance.
Empty Homes charity
Empty Homes is an independent campaigning charity. It exists to highlight the waste of empty property in England and works with others to devise and promote sustainable solutions to bring emptyĀhomes backĀinto use. To access the empty homes agency website please go to www.emptyhomes.com.

As Wasik conducts his own experiments, he meets other people like Strahm, and concludes that their motives, too, are surprisingly simple. The desire for human connection. The desire to communicate. (Both, of course, are shadowed by the perennial corporate desire to harness those desires.) But while individual motivations may be very human, Wasik warns us that our cultural fixation on the nanostory is harming our capacity to see the big picture. He lights upon former Wall Street trader Nassim Taleb's example of a fictional dentist who, "when he reads his stock reports less often, paradoxically becomes better informed." Perhaps we too should take a zoomed-out approach to the hodgepodge of information confronting us every day, such that we see the spikes as gentle hills or even (if we dare zoom out so far) the merest wriggles on a flat line.
"When herded together, the extent to which [these stories] have overrun our culture becomes clear," Wasik concludes. "We must learn how to neuter our nanostories, or at least to cut off their food supply." He doesn't say exactly how we should do so, but notes that we might "cordon off spaces in our lives away from information" and curtail "our obsession with short-term thinking and the ephemeral narratives that accompany it." This is all rather vague, and the author might have spent more time fleshing out the practical implications for his readers.
Wasik calls And Then There's This "a primer and a cautionary tale." The irony is easy to grasp. His step-by-step procedures for assembling our very own, highly infectious nanostories are ultimately the ones he urges us (and media-savvy readers the world over) not to follow.
And that's the problem with the book. Understanding something and mastering it aren't such different processes, and the reader may want nothing more than to beat a fifteen-year-old wunderkind meme-maker from Alabama at her own game. But ultimately, we are asked to head back in the same direction we came from. There is no Celestial City, no Holy Grail, no resting place—we just have to hope that the journey has made us wiser, as we head back down into the latter-day Slough of Despond.

I ordered these on-line here after my local scooter store said they would be $280.00 with labor to replace. Ordered from here, received them quickly, and easy to replace and I am not mechanically inclined :-). Love the batteries! GoPed claims 5 mile range on turbo. I just rode today with 15mph winds and I weigh about 190 lbs, was able to get 6.25 miles range! Will definitely purchase from here for future needs.

Clark Clifford replaces Robert McNamara as Secretary of Defense. McNamara, who had first taken office under President John F. Kennedy, left amid a debate over Vietnam policy precipitated by the Tet Offensive. In the summer of 1967, McNamara had become convinced that the United States should seek an end to the war through a negotiated settlement. In a memorandum submitted to President Johnson, he recommended that the U.S. freeze its troop levels, cease the bombing of North Vietnam, and turn over responsibility for the ground war to South Vietnam. Johnson rejected these proposals outright. After the communists launched the Tet Offensive in January 1968, an increasingly demoralized McNamara left Washington after eight years as Defense Secretary to become the president of the World Bank. Clifford, a successful Washington lawyer and Democratic Party powerbroker, served as Defense Secretary until January 1969, when he departed with the rest of the Johnson administration.

Registrar's Office
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended (also referred to as the Buckley Amendment), is a federal law regarding the privacy of student educational records and the access provided to these records. Any educational institution that receives funds under any program administered by the U.S. Secretary of Education is bound by FERPA requirements.
Under FERPA, educational records are defined as records that are directly related to a student and are maintained by an institution or by a party acting for the institution. Educational records can exist in any medium, including: typed, computer generated, videotape, microfilm, and email, among others.
If you would like to authorize someone else, such as a spouse or a parent, to access your educational records, you can file an Authorization to Release Non-Directory Information. The authorized person(s) will be required to follow the same procedures as the student in order to obtain educational records. This generally includes a signed request and appropriate identification.
Directory Information at MSSU and will be made available to the general public unless the student completes a Privacy Request form in the Office of the Registrar. In the case of a Privacy Request, the University will not release any information, even Directory Information. This restriction does not apply when providing information to those who have a legitimate educational interest.
Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold Directory Information. Should you decide to inform the institution not to release the Directory Information, any future requests for such information from non-institutional persons or organizations will be refused. The institution will honor your request to withhold Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release the information. Regardless of the effect upon you, the institution assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld.
Limitations exist on students' rights to inspect and review their education records. For example, the institution is not required to permit students to inspect and review the following:

Dear SnB,
This is the plant that I have, for too long, misidentified as Stenocereus beneckii - I now have realized the error of my ways, but I don't know the name of this one. Can you identify it? Thanks much |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by shrubs_n_bulbs z8/9 UK (My Page) on Thu, Oct 27, 05 at 13:19
Me, ID a columnar? Seems unlikely. I can check possible names against descriptions though :) This one seems to match the description for S. pruinosus. I don't think its Polaskia chichipe, wrong colour, not enough ribs, too tubercular, not enough spines. |
- Posted by Jeffrey_harris San Diego, CA (My Page) on Thu, Oct 27, 05 at 16:34
Dear Snb, Au contraire, mon ami, in the absence of Mr. Pickering..... We had had a discussion (someone had asked if a certain plant was a Polaskia) and I misID'd it, you ID'd it correctly (and, so I thought, 'volunteered' to have a gander (but not a goose) at mine). Thank you for the lead- I'll compare it with what I've found elsewhere. |
- Posted by cactuspolecat Tasmania Aust (My Page) on Thu, Oct 27, 05 at 16:45
I think Stenocereus pruinosus also Jeff ...Pruinosus has 5-6 ribs, Polaskia chichipe has many more than that, (up to 12 I think). CP |
- Posted by shrubs_n_bulbs z8/9 UK (My Page) on Thu, Oct 27, 05 at 17:04
Indeed, I remember it well. Actually, I searched it down and read it again :) Anyway, that's where I got the Stenocereus pruinosus name to read about, I would not have known to check it otherwise! Polaskia chichipe is one of only a handful of columnar plants that I actually have in my collection, so every time someone posts a columnar, I think "That looks like Polaskia chichipe!" LOL. |
That S. pruinosus was my first thought as well, but it looks very green to me. Pieter |

Answered by
the Fatwa Department Research Committee - chaired by Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî
It is not required for the man to have the intention in the heart that he actually wants a divorce to take place. However, there must be an intention to deliberately make this statement against one's own wife – even if the person is joking and does not really want the divorce to happen. Intentionality of the statement is required. What is not required is the seriousness of the speaker. A man cannot go up to his wife and declare: "I hereby divorce you." and then turn around and say: "I was only joking." It is a contractual statement. Likewise, you cannot sign a contract with a company or a bank and then turn around and say "Ha! Ha! I was only joking when I signed that contract." This is the same thing. This means that if the divorce is mentioned as an explicit, true, deliberate pronouncement, then it takes effect, whether or not the husband was joking or serious. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "There are three matters that will be taken seriously whether they were meant seriously or in jest: marriage, divorce, and taking a divorced wife back before the divorce is finalized." [Related by Abû Dâwûd and al-Tirmidhî who declared it a sound hadîth] This does not include the following: 1. A statement made unconsciously, accidentally, or unintentionally (for instance, a slip of the tongue or an absentminded mumble like you describe in your question). This is because intentionality of pronouncement against one's wife – though not seriousness of heart – is required for the divorce to take effect. 2. A statement given in the context of a quote. If a scholar says to his students: "If a man says the words 'I divorce my wife' he brings about a divorce." – this does not mean that the scholar has divorced his wife. Likewise, someone reading this fatwâ out loud will not divorce his wife. The same can be said for a person giving testimony in court and quoting what he heard someone else say. The same would apply to an actor reading lines in a play. The reason for this is that whatever takes the ruling of a quotation is not a legal, contractual pronouncement. It does not bring about legal consequences. Pronouncements of divorce are phrases connected with contractual clauses. A pronouncement of divorce is a contractual issue. Marriage is a contract. Divorce is a disillusion of a contract. It just does not happen accidentally or inadvertently. Intentions do not just spring into mind uncontrollably and against the person's will. An intention is the deliberate and true motive that a person has for the action that he does. Just like buying, selling, and rental contracts, a divorce is something that only occurs deliberately. Therefore, please stop worrying. Ignore your misgivings.

The Sec61 complex is the central component of the protein translocation apparatus of the ER membrane. We have addressed the role of the beta subunit (Sec61beta) during cotranslational protein translocation. With a reconstituted system, we show that a Sec61 complex lacking Sec61beta is essentially inactive when elongation and membrane targeting of a nascent chain occur at the same time. The translocation process is perturbed at a step where the nascent chain would be inserted into the translocation channel. However, if sufficient time is given for the interaction of the nascent polypeptide with the mutant Sec61 complex, translocation is almost normal. Thus Sec61beta kinetically facilitates cotranslational translocation, but is not essential for it. Using chemical cross-linking we show that Sec61beta not only interacts with subunits of the Sec61 complex but also with the 25-kD subunit of the signal peptidase complex (SPC25), thus demonstrating for the first time a tight interaction between the SPC and the Sec61 complex. Interestingly, the cross-links between Sec61beta and SPC25 and between Sec61beta and Sec61alpha depend on the presence of membrane-bound ribosomes, suggesting that these interactions are induced when translocation is initiated. We propose that the SPC is transiently recruited to the translocation site, thus enhancing its activity.

text: First, it's important to understand that Bobby Ray's is a local, family-owned restaurant in a rough neighborhood. If pick-up football games with shirtless teenagers in the parking lot outside your window bother you, you probably don't want to eat here. If the occasional, possibly intoxicated vagrant loitering around the building unsettles you, you'll likely want to go elsewhere. Or call... More
