Cal Pep
Pied piper Pep Manubens has been pulling off culinary magic in this slender slot of a restaurant for the last quarter century. The formula is simple: squeeze through the door and enjoy a bottle of Albariño while you wait for some of the city's best tapas. Pep and his staff are gifted at figuring out who's next and which party fits where, and when your time comes, which it will (once they let you in, you're on), you will soon understand why so many savvy foodies go through this process for a shot at Pep's mouthwatering seafood served in small portions to share. The counter's the place to be, with the burners six feet away, in the heat and excitement of the kitchen.
Insider Tip:
Try for pan de coca (peasant bread with tomato squeezings and olive oil); tortilla de patata (potato omelette); butifarra amb mongetes (sausage and beans in a port wine reduction); garbanzos i espinacas amb butifarra negra (garbanzo beans and spinach with black sausage); or go straight to filet mignon or turbot.

This is a tough one!! I am all for getting and staying there the cheapest way possible! I usually stay at the Pop Century when I go down for a quickie trip.
My most recent trip, I stayed at the French Quarter (I hadn't stayed there in over 15 years!) I forgot how nice it was!! I really enjoyed my stay there. It is such a nice size, and never felt crowded. I loved walking through the little courtyards and manicured hedges, or by the river to go get my coffee in the morning. It has become my favorite moderate resort!!
That being said..... I love, love, LOVE the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts!!!! The pool is so fantastic! I love the decor of the two resorts & being able to walk right into Epcot. I even like the walk to Hollywood Studios from there!
If I could afford it, I would stay in a Deluxe every visit - but since I try to get down there about 4 times a year, that is not really possible!
I am all for splurging every now and then! I say go for it!!!

Delano-based Paramount Citrus Association, California's largest independent grower-shipper-marketer of fresh citrus, is about to take a market reverberating plunge into limes.
Paramount has committed to buying 9,500 acres – nearly 15 square miles -- of lime groves in the southern Mexican state of Tabasco, said David Krause, president.
"Our hope and intent is that we would by the first week of May be in possession of the property," he said.
Paramount owns more than 30,000 producing acres of navels, valencias, minneolas, pomelos, grapefruit and clementines in California and since 2008, 6,000 acres of lemons in Mexico, which make Paramount that country's largest producer of fresh lemons.
The new Mexican acreage will make Paramount the largest vertically integrated provider of Persian limes in North America, Krause said.
"This is probably one of the most strategic acquisitions that we've made," he said. "We're very excited about it."
Once a commodity sold mainly to foodservice, limes are growing in popularity among shoppers. In addition to Latin dishes, limes are a staple in Thai, Vietnamese and Middle Eastern cultures.
"What we're seeing and showing is that our market research – where we're really trying to understand the consumer and the customers' needs – is telling us just where to go," Krause said. "We feel this is just a perfect opportunity what with growing consumption, strong ethnic growth as a food ingredient plus foodservice."
The Delano staff will handle sales of the limes, which Krause said fit very well into Paramount's marketing program.
"This is a huge foodservice piece, but we also see tremendous opportunity in the retail sector where they've had trouble with continuity of supply," he said. "By being a vertically integrated grower, we're going to be able to smooth that out and control the process."
The lime groves will not quickly be at peak production. The trees are of various ages and quality, Krause said, and will be in varying stages of production for a few years.
"The limes haven't been farmed to anywhere near our standards," he said. "We'll go in with our cultural playbook, rejuvenate the property and bring it up to Paramount standards.
Within five years, we expect to have all the acreage in peak production."
In the final stages of construction at Paramount's lemon operation in Mexico is a new 100,000 sq. ft. packing facility that also will pack the limes. The packinghouse is conveniently located en route to McAllen, Texas, through which the fruit will pass to the domestic market.

Reflecting With an Industry Master
By: Melinda Taschetta-Millane
Posted: June 16, 2008, from the June 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 3
Physicians need the esthetician. "You can't separate the two anymore," he says. "Just like you can't separate mind and body. Today's society is concerned with how we look, and because looking good is feeling better, the future definitely is going to include medical spas."
Rechelbacher explained to me how he started integrating change with Aveda in the 1980s when he hired dermatologist Peter T. Pugliese, MD, to help launch a dermatological program at his educational institute. Together, they installed microscopes, and developed the curriculum to include skin and body care. Rechelbacher exposed all departments of his institute to this—including those focusing on hair and beauty. "I don't want to separate hairdressing from massage and esthetics," he continues. "Everybody should know a little bit about everything. That is what I call holistic integration. It also is very important in the spa industry, because you cannot do one without the other." One of Rechelbacher's current projects happens to be integrating beauty and medical spas.
Philosophy on success
I always want to hear successful people's attitudes on achievement so that I, too, can learn from their views. Rechelbacher's philosophy is quite straighforward. "My philosophy on success is selfless service, and to be a student of what is going on now in science—particularly nutritional, and also implementation. We are entering a whole new field of technology. We are reinventing our intelligence on a yearly basis. For me, to live in the moment without studying what is going on scientifically is really missing out because, today, how I study will determine the future. And living in yesterday's success is really aging. It can age the business, and, sooner or later, the business—or the body—just dies. Success is being here now and being attentive. Being conscious. Because there is so much going on. Not being in the know is just energetically wasteful," he continues.
I asked Rechelbacher if he would share some words of advice with Skin Inc. magazine readers to help each of you strive to reach your ultimate goal. "Go to every industry convention and show—keep up there. There are two things that will change life in the next 10 years: nanotechnology and instrumentation. Pay attention to what others are doing. For me, this is what keeps me young. And being young is being informed," he concludes.

Greetings All Y'all!
I have my toad pond, affectionately called Mo-Toad 6, all set up. The pump MAY not be big enough to produce enough ripples to keep the mosquitoes from laying their eggs. I'll post pictures later after I finish "decorating". I don't really have time to plant some plants around the pond (I'll do that next year), but I kinda did decide that I wanted to put SOME plants IN the pond. The pond is mostly shaded and most of the pond plants I read about need more sun than it gets. I vaguely remember that someone said that hostas loved their pond. Can I buy some hostas and just set them in their pots in the pond? Robin in NC |

You can use Mosquito Dunks, you don't have to have a pump in a wildlife pond. They are harmless to pets and other wildlife. Many pond plants will tolerate shade, my fish pond only gets morning sun and it is lush with plants. Parrot's feather, golden club, azolla, aquatic forget me not, water celery, mare's tail, many different rushes all do fine. Pickeral and waterlilies don't.... Couldn't tell you about hostas, I'm not one to grow non aquatics in the pond. |
- Posted by nancym1956 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 4, 11 at 13:24
The only non-aquatics I've planted in the pond are impatiens, and having experience with them, I feel confident that with soil in the pots, the roots of the hostas will likely rot if they're in a constantly wet environment. Better to buy them barefoot, or you can gently rinse the soil off yourself. Then anchor them in the rocks around the edge of the pond, or if your prefer, fill the pots with small gravel and plant the roots in that. |
- Posted by pashta_2006 Z4 ADK NY (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jul 4, 11 at 19:13
I've put hosta in floating foam "islands" before with great success - bare root, no planting medium. I think Nancy has a good idea on anchoring them with gravel or pebbles. |
- Posted by steve1young 6B Long Island (My Page) on Tue, Jul 5, 11 at 16:28
I've had great luck with growing hostas in the pond, but it's worked better for me if I only allow the roots to be submerged in the water so I usually prop up the plant so that the stems are just above the water. Best of luck! |
robin and nancy, I'm the one who said Hosta's would grow in water, and I don't think I actually gave a medium for the roots. I do have a Hosta in my stream, so even though it IS in soil, it is in flowing water and only partially covered. It is going strong after 3 years. |

Founder &
Executive Director |
Maria Foscarinis Founder & Executive Director |
"My family suffered terribly during the German occupation of Greece in World War II, and as a child I heard my parents' stories of starvation, deprivation and loss—as well as courageous resistance—on an almost nightly basis. I wanted to use the relative privilege of my life to fight for a world where no one has to suffer the injustice of dire poverty." In the mid-1980s, Maria was a litigator at a large corporate law firm where she volunteered to represent homeless families on a pro bono basis. After seeing the impact of first-rate legal advocacy on the lives of homeless people, she left the firm to dedicate herself to that work full-time. In 1989, she established the Law Center with one goal in mind: ending homelessness in America. Maria has advocated for solutions to homelessness at the national level since 1985. She is a primary architect of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, the first major federal legislation addressing homelessness, and she has litigated to secure the legal rights of homeless persons. Maria has written widely on legal and policy issues affecting homeless persons; her work has appeared in scholarly as well as general audience publications. She speaks and lectures regularly on law and homelessness, conducts trainings on legal issues and advocacy strategies, and is frequently quoted in the print and electronic media. Maria is a 1977 graduate of Barnard College and a 1981 graduate of Columbia Law School. She also holds a M.A. in philosophy. |
Diane Aten Director of Development & Communications |
"I care deeply about social justice and truly believe that it is possible to end homelessness. I also believe in the power of working together. Every one of us, doing our part and taking combined action, will generate a powerful, collective impact. Growing up in Washington, D.C. and attending very diverse, public schools helped shape who I am today." Diane Aten has a passion for organizations that provide affordable housing, services, and opportunities for low-income people. For more than twenty years, Diane has worked in development and direct service for nonprofits including Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, Samaritan Ministry, Sojourners, Friendship Place, and Threshold Services. Diane's extensive development work includes online and monthly giving, corporate relations, major gifts, grant writing, and direct mail appeals. She also has considerable experience in managing special events, volunteers, as well as in-kind (non-financial goods and services) donations, communications and media relations activities. Diane received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1991. She also holds a master's degree in not-for-profit management. |
Tristia Bauman Senior Attorney |
"As the daughter of a disabled father and an immigrant mother, I grew up poor and I know well the barriers to success imposed by poverty. I became a public interest attorney, and the Housing Program Director at the Law Center, to break down those barriers and to provide every person – people just like me – with the chance to thrive." Tristia Bauman combines litigation, legal education, and legislative advocacy strategies to prevent and end homelessness. Her work focuses on combating the criminalization of homelessness and advocating for laws that protect the civil and human rights of homeless people. Tristia also conducts legal trainings around the country, writes reports and other publications related to housing, and serves as a legal resource for homeless advocates. Tristia began her law career at Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc. as a housing attorney working with low-income tenants in federally subsidized housing. She later served for several years as an Assistant Public Defender in Miami-Dade County. Tristia hails from Auckland, New Zealand but was raised in Washington State where she attended the University of Washington as an undergraduate and law student. She received her B.A. in Anthropology in 2000 and her J.D. in 2006. |
Janelle Fernandez Law & Policy Program Associate |
"I want to help create the political will and public momentum to ensure that everyone has food, shelter, and education. We have the resources to achieve this; we now need to summon the collective strength and courage to see it through." Janelle Fernandez, Law & Policy Program Associate at the Law Center, provides programmatic and administrative support to the Law & Policy team. Janelle brings extensive experience to the Law Center, primarily in data management, system development, process improvement, project management, and capacity building. At the Law Center, she assists the Policy Director with legislative tracking and the development of Law & Policy outreach materials and strategies. She also manages the Law Center's internship and fellowship program, provides support to the pro bono program, and co-facilitates presentations at law firms, conferences, and other venues to gain support for the Law Center's projects. Janelle cultivated an interest for policy work as an undergrad at Florida State University, where she received a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. Before coming to the Law Center, she worked in the private sector as a program analyst. Currently, in addition to her work with the Law Center, she is an active volunteer in the DC chapter of RESULTS, an anti-poverty policy advocacy organization, focused on specific long-term solutions to alleviating the root causes of poverty, primarily in the areas of education, health, and social/financial mobility. |
Sarah Knutson Development & Communications Assistant |
"We do not have to relegate ourselves to a society that does not value all of its members, that does not provide equal opportunities for its citizens, and that accepts systemic neglect as the status quo. As Americans we hold a unique power to affect change, to see injustice and challenge it. I want to be part of a society that expects more from and for its people." As the Development & Communications Assistant, Sarah takes on tasks that support and shed light on the important work of the Law Center. Her most important role is acting as an advocate for those living without a home and without the legal clout to defend their rights. Her passion for social justice took root during an internship with the Pennsylvania Literacy Corps. She was able to tutor GED and ESL adult learners while also researching the history and politics of education and exploring literacy's relationship to class, gender, and ethnicity. It was then that she witnessed the value of coupling the right resources with people who, until that time, were certain they were incapable of success. She let the experience inform her commitment to building communities through service projects and connecting nonprofits with the right resources to make a difference. Sarah graduated from Penn State University with honors in two degrees, a B.A. in Philosophy and a B.S. in Mathematics. |

Cast iron repair is really not even something you can do in your own shop unless you have years of experience and the right equipment. The variables of the type of cast iron (gray, alloy, nodular, malleable) and the various types of repairs are incredibly numerous and too complex to get into here. So this story is really about showing you some repairs and a couple of ways to go about them. When it came time to repair a crack in a numbers-matching 396 block for a Chevelle, the call went out to Kelly's Block Welding in Los Angeles, where owner Garrick Preece and welder Jun Nakawatase applied their considerable cast iron experience to this repair. Check it out.

Audi A4 Sports Suspension
byronwalter Posts: 220I'm on my third A4. My first was a '99 Avant with a chipped 1.8t engine. I hated the way the car wallowed in curves with the standard suspension. My '02 Avant and my present '06 4dr both have the sport suspension and I wouldn't buy an Audi without it. And I live in NE Ohio where the roads aren't exactly state-of-the-art.
My current car was a factory order. That way I got exactly the stuff that I wanted... suspension, manual, etc. The wait was about two months, which was no big deal.
My only complaint with my A4 is that the seats, while being very comfy, lack lateral support. -
escortowner Posts: 129While I have not had the opportunity to OWN an Audi yet, I am in the process of test driving etc. and the dealer happens to have both were I live.
In my opinion, well worth the $250 extra. When going from side to side it is a lot less springy, yet the vertical ride is very smooth (and I live in an incredibly bumpy city in my opinion - Houston).
I was doing some reading and it looks like the sports suspension came from the S4 - I am assuming it is the old S4 suspension. But knowing it is from the S4 is encouraging.
I had a Jetta with the sports suspension before and it sucked. The A4 is nice. -
rkolovich Posts: 3I have a 2007 A4 with the Sport's suspension. I've test drove this vehicle with and without it. The dealership in Virginia that I purchased the car from only had A4's with it. One dealership told me that I wouldn't like it but I supspect that since he didn't have one with this option on his lot that he was trying to get me to buy from his stock. I think that the cost was around $250 more. I have to say that I thought that daily driving would be rough but that handling, especially with the quattro is very balanced. Driving entrance and exit ramps makes you feel like your driving on rails...no matter what the weather. I highly recommend the sport's suspension.

NEW DELHI: Municipal Corporation of Delhi's proposal seeking funds for construction of 25 foot-overbridges in different parts of the city under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) has been dropped from the list of projects to be sent to the urban development ministry for grants in the urban infrastructure and governance category.
The sixth state-level steering committee meeting on JNNURM at Delhi Secretariat dropped the project citing observations by UTTIPEC, which has not cleared the plan. Four more projects are being removed from the list of proposals for which funding is being sought under JNNURM.
According to sources, the steering committee agreed with UTTIPEC's views on foot- overbridges. The members of the committee felt that it was feasibile to approve foot overbridges on a case-to-case basis and they should be constructed only in places where there is no other option. "For now the project has been dropped. If UTTIPEC clears any proposal for a foot-overbridge later, it will be funded through other schemes," a senior official said.
Four more proposals have been dropped. These include construction of a grade separator at the intersection of Shankar Road and Upper Ridge Road, construction of a grade separator at the intersection of Pusa Road, Dr K S Krishnan Marg and Patel Road.
Another proposal for a grade separator/ underpass proposed at the intersection connecting Pusa Road, Arya Samaj Road, Faiz Road, Upper Ridge Road and Panchkuian Road has been dropped. Construction plan for clover leaves at Karkari Modh (intersection of Vikas Marg at road number 57) and widening of existing bridge on trunk drain no.1 has also been rejected.
All these proposals have not been cleared by UTTIPEC and hence were not considered by the steering committee.

This is a syndicated post from The Curt Jester. [Read the original article...]
Catholic World Report has a look at the subject through the lens of the University of San Diego cancellation of an appearance by dissident theologian Tina Beattie. Her book is called "God's Mother, Eve's Advocate: A Gynocentric Refiguration of Marian Symbolism in Engagement with Luce Irigaray" which is certainly a mouthful or at least full of something.

Festina lente
Festina lente or σπεῦδε βραδέως (speûde bradéōs) is a classical adage and oxymoron meaning "make haste slowly" (usually rendered in English as "more haste, less speed"). It has been adopted as a motto numerous times, particularly by the emperors Augustus and Titus, the Medicis and the Onslows.
The original form of the saying, σπεῦδε βραδέως, is Classical Greek, of which festina lente is the Latin translation. The words σπεῦδε and festina are second-person-singular imperatives, meaning "make haste", while βραδέως and lente are adverbs, meaning "slowly".
The Roman historian Suetonius, in De vita Caesarum, tells that Augustus deplored rashness in a military commander, thus "σπεῦδε βραδέως" was one of his favourite sayings:[1]
Nihil autem minus perfecto duci quam festinationem temeritatemque convenire arbitrabatur. Crebro itaque illa iactabat: σπεῦδε βραδέως; ἀσφαλὴς γάρ ἐστ᾽ ἀμείνων ἢ θρασὺς στρατηλάτης; et: "sat celeriter fieri quidquid fiat satis bene."
(He thought nothing less becoming in a well-trained leader than haste and rashness, and, accordingly, favourite sayings of his were: "More haste, less speed"; "Better a safe commander than a bold"; and "What is done quickly enough is done well enough.")
Certain gold coins minted for Augustus bore images of a crab and a butterfly[2] to attempt an emblem for the adage.[3] Other such visualizations include a hare in a snail shell; a chameleon with a fish; a diamond ring entwined with foliage; and perhaps most recognizably, a dolphin entwined around an anchor.[4][5] Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany took festina lente as his motto and illustrated it with a sail-backed tortoise.[6]
The Renaissance printer Aldus Manutius adopted the symbol of the dolphin and anchor as his printer's mark. Erasmus (whose books were published by Manutius) featured the phrase in his Adagia and used it to compliment his printer: "Aldus, making haste slowly, has acquired as much gold as he has reputation, and richly deserves both." Manutius showed Erasmus a Roman silver coin, given to him by Cardinal Bembo, which bore the dolphin-and-anchor symbol on the reverse side.[7][8]
The adage was popular in the Renaissance era and Shakespeare alluded to it repeatedly. In Love's Labour's Lost, he copied the crab and butterfly imagery with the characters Moth and Armado.[9]
The Onslow family of Shropshire has the adage as its motto, generating a pun upon the family name: "on-slow".[10]
The constructive intent of the phrase is that activities should be performed with a proper balance of urgency and diligence. If tasks are overly rushed, mistakes are made and good long-term results are not achieved. Work is best done in a state of flow in which one is fully engaged by the task and there is no sense of time passing.[11]
In physics, the name "Festina Lente Limit" has been applied to the Strong Confinement Limit, which is a mode of an atom laser in which the frequency of emission of the Bose–Einstein condensate is less than the confinement frequency of the trap.[12]
Goethe refers to both the proverb and Augustus' adoption of it in his poem Hermann und Dorothea (helpfully for poetry, the German rendition itself rhymes - "Eile mit Weile"):[13]
Laßt uns auch diesmal doch nur die Mittelstraße betreten! Eile mit Weile! das war selbst Kaiser Augustus' Devise.
(Let us this time take the middle course. Make haste slowly: that was Emperor Augustus' motto.)
The novel Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan involves a secret society devoted to Aldus Manutius, whose members use "Festina lente" as a motto/greeting.

See our slideshow of The World's Top Oyster Bars.
Perhaps it's their shells, the contours mimicking the landscapes they inhabit, craggy coastlines in miniature.
Perhaps it's their pungent, briny liquor, crashing likce surf across the tongue. Perhaps it's those evocative names, derived from actual locales: Pemaquid! Skookum! Tatamagouche! Or perhaps it's because they're still alive when you eat them. Does any food pack such a powerful sense of place?
Rare is the culture that doesn't love oysters. They are everywhere. But they're also decidedly Somewhere: within its singular shell, each oyster carries its provenance like a fingerprint. Knocking one back is like mainlining the cove it came from.
In today's global food economy, geography is more or less moot. Maine lobsters turn up in São Paulo, Dungeness crab in Shanghai, Norwegian salmon roe at your suburban IKEA. I live in New York City, where pretty much any foreign delicacy is readily had, from jamón ibérico to blowfish. But not English Colchesters or French Belons or South African Knysnas or hundreds of other varieties of oyster that thrive beyond our shores. The U.S. government forbids the import of oysters from abroad, with exceptions for those from Canada, Mexico, Chile, South Korea, and New Zealand (the latter three are almost never sold stateside, in any case). Oysters are among the last of the "go-to" foods: you have to go to them.
So for three years I've done just that, circling the globe on an international oyster quest—part-time, mind you, but with full-time conviction. It helps that I travel for a living. Wherever my peregrinations take me, bivalves form the subplot. I've sampled minerally Grebbestads in Göteborg, monstrous madrasensis oysters in Mumbai, clean-flavored Nha Trangs in Saigon, fishy Mali Stons in Croatia. I've combed 19 countries in search of the perfect oyster, and the perfect oyster bar. And though I've eaten several thousand since my quest began—and twice sliced my hand shucking them—I've never once tired of their taste.
I first fell for oysters at New York's Grand Central Station, where the renowned Oyster Bar, opened in 1913, serves 2 million bivalves a year. On a standard night they'll list 30 on the menu: Moonstones from Rhode Island; Phantom Creeks from British Columbia; Meximotos from Baja; perhaps savory Conway Cups from Prince Edward Island—which taste, no joke, like chicken. Just as every celebrated stage actress finds her way to Broadway, every North American oyster worth its salt makes its way to Grand Central. There's an irony in this, for New York Harbor was once the hub of all Oysterdom, sending its bountiful harvest across the nation and around the world. The great tide has since reversed: today the city exports none and imports untold millions.
Many a night I passed in the vaulted chambers of Grand Central, conferring with shucker Luis Iglesias about his picks for the day. My favorites were invariably East Coast. It's said that people prefer oysters from the water they grew up swimming in, and that's certainly true for me. Devouring a briny Maine oyster never fails to catapult me back to childhood summers, inhaling that brisk seafoamy air and, just as often, a wave up my nose.
Biologists have documented some 400 species of oysters worldwide. But even within the same species no two will have the exact same flavor, depending on water temperature, salinity levels, tidal patterns, mating cycles, the plankton they eat, and the mineral content of their habitat. The variables can be infinitesimal: a Wellfleet, Massachusetts, oyster harvested at six feet deep may taste wholly unlike one found at seven. The thrill of oyster-eating is picking up on nuances of texture and taste from one hemisphere, continent, bay, or creek to the next.
Like wine, oysters exhibit a discernible terroir. Indeed, the vocabulary of oyster flavors overlaps with that of wine: terms like "crisp," "buttery," and "flinty" are common, as are comparisons to cucumber, melon, and green apple. The menu at Boston's Neptune Oyster bar—an Art Deco jewel box in the North End—has some particularly fanciful (some might say absurd) descriptions, noting a "buttered popcorn" finish in the Katama Bays from Martha's Vineyard, traces of "mushroom" in the Marion Ports, also from Massachusetts, "raw sweet pea" in Rhode Island's Rome Points, even "hints of Brie" in the nearby Ninigret Ponds.

Bossier City man accused of burglarizing at least 5 churches
POSTED: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 10:00am
UPDATED: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 10:04am
Bossier City (KMSS) — Bossier City police have arrested a man in connection with a recent string of church burglaries.
Detectives arrested Michael Floyd Lewis, 27, yesterday on burglary charges for breaking into at least five churches over the past several weeks. Some of the churches were burglarized multiple times.
The churches included Barksdale Methodist Church in the 1400 block of Patricia Drive, Waller Baptist Church in the 400 block of Waller Avenue, Bossier Church of Christ in the 2900 block of Foster Street, Bossier Church of the Nazarene in the 500 block of Modica Street and Korean Presbyterian Church in the 1100 block of Dudley. Computers, food and tools were among the items taken.
Officials named Lewis as a suspect in the church burglaries after they identified him as a suspect in a recent residential burglary that happened at Zacks River Village Mobile Home Park in the 2300 block of Barksdale Boulevard.
Lewis was booked into the Bossier City Jail on nine counts of simple burglary of a religious building. He was also charged with one count of simple burglary in connection with the break-in at the mobile home park.

I discovered it online last fall while I was exploring information on how the brain learns. This is the first video I saw on the topic: You may notice in the video that the instructor (Coach B from WBT) keeps the students totally engaged, and uses many of the important brain based learning strategies: talking, using emotions, visuals, movement, teaching chunks of information, giving immediate feedback. The above video shows students much older than the ones I work with. If you go to the Whole Brain Teaching website, or simply search "Whole Brain Teaching" on You tube, you'll find loads of videos of Whole Brain Teaching methods used with every age. ClipArt ETC.

5 Healthy Heart Recipes
More than 100 million Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, so here are 5 healthy heart recipes that taste great. Recommended diets include a healthy dose of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low fat-fish and meats. If you follow some of these simple recipes, there is still room for the occasional treat of a tasty hamburger.
- Taco Salad. In a skillet, brown extra lean ground beef with one chopped onion. Add half a teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning. Line a salad bowl with romaine lettuce. Use the remainder of the head of lettuce to shred and mix with chopped red-leaf lettuce. Top the salad with the prepared beef, diced tomatoes, an additional chopped onion, a half cup of reduced-fat cheddar cheese and one peeled, sliced avocado. Serve with sour cream, salsa and warm corn tortillas.
- Roast Red Potatoes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place one pound of small red potatoes with skins, halved, onto a roasting pan. Toss the potatoes with olive oil and then flip them cut side up. Bake for fifteen minutes. Using a fork, turn the potatoes over and tuck garlic cloves among them. Put back in oven for 40 more minutes. Season potatoes with salt and pepper before serving.
- Linguine with Shrimp. Cook one pound of linguine according to package. Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add a half cup of chopped onions and three cloves of garlic to the olive oil and sauté for two minutes. Add 1 and 1/2 pounds of cooked, peeled shrimp and sauté for three more minutes. Add lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper and basil and simmer until pasta is ready. Arrange pasta in a bowl, toss with shrimp and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Chicken and Bean Burritos. Marinate the following ingredients: 1/4 cup of orange juice, one tablespoon of lime juice, two tablespoons of cider vinegar, one tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, one teaspoon of fresh oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Shake the ingredients to blend. Cut two whole-skinned and boned chicken breasts into 1/2 inch strips and pour the marinade over them. Let the chicken sit in the marinade for ten minutes. Preheat a skillet and stir fry the chicken for eight to ten minutes until done. Spoon black bean dip onto the whole wheat or flour tortillas, top with shredded lettuce and chicken, add salsa, avocado and sour cream. Fold the tortilla up into a burrito and serve.
- Grilled Teriyaki Steak. Combine to marinade 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup dry vermouth, one tablespoon brown sugar, one tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, two minced garlic cloves and a one-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced. Arrange 1 and 1/2 pounds of flank steak and pour the marinade over the steak. Allow to sit for up to 24 hours. Grill steak over hot coals for six to eight minutes on each side. When finished, cut across the grain at a diagonal angle into thin slices.

I watched this video and it really was interesting. I kind of have mixed emotions...I mean, I think it's cool that people would be accepting of a hug from a stranger, but at the same time, how dangerous could that potentially be? What are your thoughts? |
Here is a link that might be useful: hugs
Follow-Up Postings:
I am a big but selective hugger. My last company (inherited as the result of a merger) was -very- huggy and I never liked it. I hugged and kissed my boss who I had worked with for 12 years but he was also a dear friend. Strangers? I might be sparked to hug a stranger under special conditions but it wouldn't be likely that I'd just give or accept one under normal (or abnormal lol) circumstances. |
I don't hug except my DH and children. I have a very large personal space area and my friends and the rest of my family have learned to accept it. |
Honestly, if a stranger approached me and tried to hug me, I'd be escaping. Or using my martial arts skills to hurt them and keep them away. It's only recently that hugging has moved out of the sphere of family and close friends, to the massive hug-everyone-you-know deal. To me, hugs are for people I know and whom I want to hug--it's a sign of affection. I rarely feel affectionate towards strangers. A stranger coming up to me and trying to hug me? I would suspect that they want to hurt or rob me, neither of which I am comfortable with. Or that they are drunk or high, which again, I'm not comfortable with. I'd most likely call the police on them. |

The video was fun! I think I would have hugged them back. It kind of reminded me of the Dave Matthews video where he goes around hugging everyone- can't remember the name of the song- it was about love every day or something. But,I think hugging is sometimes done too much! Especially when you see people fairly often and it feels like an obligation. |
Ick! I don't like strangers in my personal space. |
- Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Sat, Sep 15, 12 at 16:09
No. Funny video though! I don't hug anyone except close friends and family. Other peoples dogs get lots of indiscriminate hugs, however. |
In this random situation I'd be wondering if they were going to pick-pocket me! I'm moderately OK with someone hugging, but it depends on the situation. In the video the hugging lacked context so there was no way of knowing if it was a positive or negative experience until after the fact if nothing bad happened. My SIL's family uses cheek kissing as a greeting. I did not grow up with that social gesture so I'm not naturally comfortable with it but I've come to understand the regional difference and accept it when I visit. The intent is good. |
Forget about strangers -- I don't like hugging, or being hugged, by many of my own family members. Truth is, I'm selfish. I don't want a woosey hug. Like I don't want a limp handshake. I don't want to be squeezed to death, but I have a cousin who is the best hugger -- just the right squeeze quotient with a little back rubbing. And it feels so good that I hug that way back! Unfortunately, I don't see her all that often. A stranger approaching me and hugging me would end up flat on the ground. I don't care if they're trying to teach the world to smile! (And I'm with Bumblebeez when it comes to the dogs I like! Kisses and hugs!) |
I hug all my friends and family, along with the proverbial back rub Pammyfay gets, but only to those I actually "know". Everyone gets a smile and acquaintances get a hello-but, that's pretty normal where I live, and I get it right back. |

May 16, 2013 4:57 PM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANILA, Philippines (AP) - What do you do when two candidates running for mayor in the Philippines get exactly the same number of votes? You get them to toss a coin.
Marvic Feraren and Boyet Py both received 3,236 votes for mayor of San Teodoro town in Mindoro Oriental province in Monday's elections.
The Elections Commissions suggested the two men flip a coin five times each, which is allowed under the country's Election Code to break a tie.
Feraren won Tuesday, but not before a second round of coin flipping.
They tied in the first round too.

Originally written by ANGELA McFEETERS
A 20-YEAR-OLD woman died when the vehicle she was driving failed to negotiate a bend and it slammed into a power pole on Cape Nelson Rd on Friday morning.
The victim of the 6.05am accident is believed to be Portland's Rachel Twomey, who was travelling north along the road in a 60km/h zone between Kauri Crescent and Edgar St at the time. However, police would not confirm the victim's name yesterday. The car came to rest several metres away from the power pole. The road remained blocked for most of Friday while Melbourne's Major Collision Investigation Unit (MCIU) pieced together the circumstances of the accident. An 18-year-old Portland woman who was in another vehicle in the vicinity of the incident was interviewed on Friday. No-one had been charged for any offences by yesterday morning. The driver's side of the car had a door ripped away during the incident, and Portland State Emergency Service members removed the back door to assist in removing Ms Twomey's body from the vehicle. However, there was little that the emergency services could do to assist at the scene beyond controlling traffic, with Ms Twomey believed to have died upon impact. Ms Twomey was the only person in the car when the accident occurred. It was darkat the time and, while there was little or no rain overnight,it was very cold and there may have been fog in that area, because it was on the outskirts of the city according to a witness. Senior Constable Matt Haughton said the incident would be investigated by the MCIU and the coroner. "It was a tragic loss of a young life. We're shocked every time we go to these sorts of accidents. It's a reminder that people should not take their driving for granted; be safe on the road," Senior Constable Martin Flannery said. Police would not confirm whether speed and drink-driving had been factors in the incident. This latest fatality comes just weeks after a Portland woman died some five days after she was involved in a single-vehicle accident on the Portland-Nelson Rd. Gaylene Penwarden was taken to a hospital in Mount Gambier before being airlifted to Adelaide following the incident on March 31. She died on April 4 in the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

This Saturday, I went to a wonderful fundraising event for an elementary school in Stamford, CT. I had the chance to observe some amazing fundraising excellence in action. Plus, the night was extra special for me, because, I went with my Dad.
Arm-in-arm, this 42-year-old mom walked into the ballroom with her 76-year-old father (and employer). I felt so proud. It was the 1978 Father-Daughter Square Dance at the Annual Girl Scout Jamboree all over again.
As a result, while mulling how I should report my fundraising findings from the event back to you, I found myself in a reminiscent mindset. Did you know, I first worked for Dad three decades ago?
In the summers just preceding my teenage years, I helped my parents run an aerial sightseeing business out of the rustic Trade Wind airport on Martha's Vineyard. Featuring tales of the hundreds of flights launched from the bumpy grass runways, my back-to-school essay, "What I Did on My Summer Vacation," was always the most exciting story from the class. (Once I was even published in our local newspaper, Our Summer Sailplane Service, 1982!)
And so…this week I am giving a nod to those long ago essays about summers with my dad and submitting to you for your grading my Monday-back-to-work essay on "What I Did This Past Weekend!" (I hope I get an A+!)
First off, this was a very impressive event. I was most struck by the event team's focus and organization—This group orchestrated the evening more like a Navy Seals Unit than a temporary assembly of volunteer moms.
I got a real kick out of overhearing one G.I. Jane answer another's question with … "You will find that at Central Ops." Um…turns out that "Central Ops" was the registration table. Really, they were incredible!
I can't possibly cover everything that was great about the evening one post. So, I am going to dedicate this post to what I think they did best.
They made it EASY for me to spend my money.
Here are five ways I think they excelled in making the spending experience effortless and enjoyable for their guests.
The Express Checkout option on registration really set the tone that this group truly respected my time. Nobody likes the long lines at checkout at fundraising events. Knowing that the end of the evening would simply involve grabbing my invoice and picking up the items I had won was great. I felt like I had wings!
For those who haven't done this, express checkout simply involves asking for credit card information at registration with the understanding that all purchases will be charged on that card after the event.
Receiving a clean and clear email receipt within 24 hours of the event closed the loop on this process, and really made me feel like event organizers were ultra considerate of, not only my time, but also my financial information.
By the time I stepped in front of the first silent auction item that piqued my interest, I had actually already signed my receipt. And, for whatever reason, this gave me a sense of bidding freedom. Spending money was inevitable, predestined even! I was just going through the motions of making the bids I was intended to make.
Every bid sheet had the incremental amounts of the bids pre-populated in the column. The incremental jumps between bids ranged from $5 to $50 depending on the value of the item. For example, restaurant vouchers went up by $5 increments, while a 2-week sleep away camp went up by $50 increments.
So, all I had to do was write my bidder number or sign my name. I didn't have to run through my typical mental routine…What is an appropriate next bid?…What are they expecting?…What will make me look like serious bidder?
It was all so easy! There was no debate in my head to slow my progress or detract from the evening. Just sign and step…and, sign and step…and, sign and step. You get the idea!
The meal can chew up (pun intended) dozens of valuable fundraising minutes at an event. Don't simply dedicate this time to digestion! At this event, a very friendly woman came by the table with silver "Mystery Envelopes." These envelopes were $20 a piece and contained vouchers that were at least a $20 value.
Now, I know we don't want to leverage peer pressure too much as fundraisers, but we can't ignore the opportunity altogether! Truth is you really don't want to be the only person at the table who doesn't purchase a Mystery Envelope! Plus, there is a silent competition going on around the table…who will select the most valuable envelope! The gentlemen next to me won, he got a $50 jewelry gift certificate.
Your guests may enter the event with a set amount that they want to spend on live or silent auction items. But, they also have a wallet with at least $100 of twenties in it as well. Give them lots of reasons to spend that money!
For this event, there were three additional $20 options for spending money.
There were about 150 guests at this event. Many were couples, so let's guess that there were 100 possible purchasers. If each purchaser freed three $20 bills from their wallet at the event, that added a total of $6,000 to the money raised!
It was such a memorable night. And, it was all in the name of research! Dad and I are tapping into the local fundraiser circuit to figure out how we can improve our offerings in our FundraisingRides business.
Not a bad gig, right? We get to go to parties, meet new people, have a great meal (Yummy steak on Saturday!), and learn about the amazing things people just like you are doing for your non-profits!
My plan is to bring you more helpful details about the fundraisers we attend in the coming months. In the meantime, share your fundraising event details with me in our online form and get a chance to win a hot air balloon ride for two! Dad and I can't travel across the country…so if you have some great ideas to share with the group, please submit them!
And remember, the bliss is in the details,
