I started as a reader.
When I wanted to find a place to have dessert I would look online and read the reviews. I compared star ratings, weighed the best and worst comments, and made my decision. Once I ate at a few places and began to learn more I felt compelled to share my thoughts. I became a blogger and started Lovescool, where I dutifully brought my camera around town and tried to tell the world about fun desserts that I found.
After writing as a blogger for a few months, I took a professional writing position at Chocolatier magazine, where my words were subject to editorial review and the permanence of print. Someone else took the pictures, and I took advantage of the perks that companies dish out when they want to be reviewed. After each experience as a dessert reader, blogger and reporter, my interest in the field grew and I felt like I could offer something more. Finally, I jumped the fence and switched from press member to shop owner.
As a chef and owner, I am now subject to the same praise, and criticism, that I dished out. This reversal of roles has given me unique insight into how the whole press system works. Sometimes I find it funny, like when a reviewer tries to sneak in under the radar but we know exactly who they are. Other times it is frustrating, like when a reviewer is in a bad mood or the facts are reported incorrectly. Most of all I find the press to be very interesting. The harshest critic of my store will always be me, so I take every review as an opportunity to see the way the world is interpreting the messages I am trying to send.
From my experience, there are two types of reviewers. Bloggers with their own website, and official members of the press (I'll call them "reporters") who work for an established news agency. I believe both approach the review process from completely different angles, even though they have the same goal of sharing information. Bloggers go in for the details, while reporters focus on trends and the story behind a place.
I can spot a blogger at Amai from a mile away, and I love it. They usually come in alone, order at least 4 different things, then set everything up on a table and take pictures before trying a bite of each one. I do the same thing so I completely understand. You want to give everything a chance and find the "specialty" of the house, but you may only be able to visit once so you have to try a lot.
Even though I understand how it works, my alter ego as a chef and owner makes me want to say "STOP! This is not the way things are meant to be enjoyed!" For example, our Earl Grey scone was not meant to be eaten at the same time as a lychee brownie, chai cookie, chestnut cake and a vanilla bean lemonade. (I've seen someone do this in one sitting.) The store was also meant to be a place for relaxation or meeting with friends, and focusing the camera on a small detail of the food or display case misses the overall experience. When a blogger is finished eating, they will often leave without saying anything and I will see a posting online later in the week. A few times, usually if they know I am also a blogger, they will introduce themselves and talk about what they liked. They rarely ask questions.
Reporters usually call ahead and ask questions over the phone. If they like what they hear, they might request samples for a photo shoot or send a photographer over. They give me a chance to tell my story and answer questions about Amai directly, but they might not try anything. This is why many people trust the reviews of bloggers more than reporters, but rely on reporters for the history and big picture of a place. Reporters are also able to reach such a large audience that it tends to have a bigger impact than a blogger. Every time we are in the New York Times, even if it is a tiny mention, we see a direct impact on sales. Blogs can lead to a core set of strong supporters, but it takes a lot longer to see the effect on sales.
Many restaurateurs get upset with bloggers and embrace reporters. I'm not exactly sure why, but it may be a misconception that bloggers are amateurs and get the facts wrong. I don't think this is true, and even if it was, it misses the point of a review. From my experience with Amai, mistakes have been made equally between bloggers, commenters and experienced press members. Some incorrect statements that have been printed by all forms of media are:
- We don't use loose leaf tea for our green tea (we only serve loose leaf tea, green tea included)
- We don't have iced coffee (we do in the summer, not in the winter)
- The Chai Almond cookies are leaf-shaped (they are cut like a flower)
- The green tea cupcake is made with chocolate (the cake and the buttercream are made with matcha, no chocolate)
- The company is based based in Brooklyn (we are on 3rd Avenue in Manhattan)
Overall these are small things, but they have led to hundreds of questions and calls to the store. Bloggers and reporters could all do a bit more fact checking, but when it is all said and done, even incorrect press is good press. As long as the tone of the article is positive, it will benefit the store. I'm still thrilled when someone says they love our "Green Bean" muffin (it's Green Tea with Red Bean, but ok) because we have made them happy. Details are secondary in most cases.
Seeing both sides of this picture has made me less inclined to bring my camera and take pictures when I eat. I'd rather take the whole experience in and tell my friends about it later. This is great for capturing the spirit of a place, but makes me a terrible blogger now since I can't remember many details without taking pictures or notes all of the time. I also give a place a few chances before judging. It is very easy to have a bad day, or a bad employee, ruin something that is usually very good. More than anything, it has made me appreciate the effort that every chef and store owner, no matter how good or bad we think they are, puts into everything. That alone is worth a million reviews. Mr. Anton Ego said it best in Ratatouille..
"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time Nathan the prophet came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. | 1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. |
2 Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. | 2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. |
3 For I recognize my shameful deeds -- they haunt me day and night. | 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. |
4 Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just. | 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge. |
5 For I was born a sinner -- yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. | 5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. |
6 But you desire honesty from the heart, so you can teach me to be wise in my inmost being. | 6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. |
7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. | 7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. |
8 Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me -- now let me rejoice. | 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. |
9 Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. | 9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. |
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me. | 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. |

A pair of eastern Montanans survived the National Football League's final day of cuts Friday, though both did so in unusual fashion.
Shann Schillinger, a Baker, Mont., native was placed on the Atlanta Falcons' injured-reserve list after injuring his foot against the Miami Dolphins on Aug. 17.
However, because he was put on injured reserve, the Falcons will keep the third-year safety who specializes mostly in special teams play on the 53-man roster.
A new NFL rule allowing teams to bring one "marquee" player off the IR before week eight means Schillinger may still see the field this season.
The 26-year-old former University of Montana standout had 19 tackles in his first two seasons. The Falcons took him in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL draft. He is in the third year of a four-year contract.
He is married to Ericka (Niece) Schillinger, a former athletic standout from Beach, and is the younger brother of Jace Schillinger, Dickinson State University's all-time leading rusher.
Left tackle Mike Person switched teams Friday.
The Glendive, Mont., native and Dawson County High School graduate was picked up off waivers by the Indianapolis Colts shortly after being waived by the San Francisco 49ers.
Media reports out of Indianapolis suggest Person, who also plays guard, will be added to the Colts' 53-man roster. He is listed on the team's website as a member of the active roster.
Person, a 24-year-old former Montana State star, was on the 49ers' practice squad after they drafted him in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL draft. Matt Maiocco of Comcast Sports Net said on his blog that the 49ers had hoped to retain Person as a member of their practice squad.
His father, Jim Person, was formerly the head football coach at Dawson County. He is still the school's activities director and is a football official.

"Outstanding Main Title Design," An Undersung Emmy Category
If you're a carbon based life form, chances are you feel a certain amount of affection for the opening notes and images of the main title designs of certain TV series. These things have a way of seeping into our DNA.
I cannot watch True Blood's titles, for example, without singing along "...I wanna do bad things to you ♫" and it would probably take my Emmy award if the Outstanding Main Title Design were handed out only once every 10 years. Unfortunately it has been ripped off ever since and now every remotely creepy TV series aims for a mix of slow-mo vs sped up montage of religious, violent, and sensual grotesquerie from American Horror Storyto Penny Dreadful. But True Blood's titles were the perfect marriage of everything that makes that show that show. It's actually even BETTER than the show itself. True Blood lost this category in its year to the adorable pop up multiple identities of The United States of Tara.
My other favorite main title of a current series is Game of Thrones. I don't watch the show for reasons I've long since overshared but I think the opening titles are refreshingly original, a masterwork even. For what it's worth Game of Thrones won this Emmy in 2011 (Trivia Alert: David Fincher's two-time Oscar winning editor Angus Wall, who we've interviewed in the past, was the creative director!).
Even in the YouTube/Gif era when we are all accustomed to obsessing over the tiniest mnemonics of our favorite things, this category is rarely remarked upon. So let's discuss this year's nominees after the jump
THE NOMINEES THIS YEAR? Stroke the kitty to continue...

Japan'S Gundam Statue to Wield Lightsaber
Remember that fabulous Gundam statue from Tokyo? It was originally erected to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the animated series. Well, it's coming back better than ever! With a lightsaber, need I say more?
I was pretty disappointed when I learned that the Gundam statue was going to be dismantled. I kind wished that Godzilla went postal on Tokyo for that, but no worries, Gundam is coming back with a vengeance!
But not in Tokyo this time. Gundam will be erected again this year in July, just in time for the actual date of the 30th anniversary. It will be in Shizuoka and it will have a "beam laser", which, in my book, is a lightsaber. The lightsaber will glow during the night. Despite its short lifespan, the giant Gundam in Tokyo was visited by almost 4 million people last year. This time, Gundam will be standing for 6 months, so maybe more of us will have a chance to see it this time.

Ingredients Sponsored by
More and more often, formulators are looking to raw material suppliers for demonstrations of the efficacy, safety and functionality of new ingredients, such as peptides. Spas that are sellers of finished formulated products also need ingredient information to convince clients to purchase products, as well as to differentiate brand offerings. Are spas and medical spas getting all the ingredient
Michael Gold, MD, on Professional Skin Care "I don't use the term "professional" to identify a class of products. You come to my medical spa and see privately labeled products. They are professional products, but they are still either a cosmeceutical or a cosmetic. The only other valid product class is a prescription product." |
John E. Kulesza on Professional Skin Care "The difference between products for the spa world and products for the medical world starts with ingredients and their concentration." |

John T(owner) Williams
American Born 08 Feb 1932John Williams is perhaps the best known film composer ever, having worked with Steven Spielberg on many of his biggest films. He was born on February 8th 1932 in New York, went to the University of Los Angeles in California and then (after a period of service in the US Air Force) attented the famous Juillard School. In 1956 he became a studio pianist for Twentieth Century Fox, playing in their orchestra. During this time he played on the theme tunes for Lost in Space and Land of the Giants among others, as well as composing for low budget films. In 1967 Williams was invited to write the score for The Valley of the Dolls, for which he received his first Oscar nomination (he is currently up to 35). Four years later he won three Oscars for his Fiddler on the Roof score. Today Williams is still writing for the biggest films of Hollywood, as well as conducting, and releasing classical albums.
Much of cinema's best known music was written by Williams. He wrote for all the Star Wars films (and will be scoring the forthcoming prequels), brought the rubber shark Jaws to life with his terrifying theme, and composed Superman's tune. He also scored the Indiana Jones Trilogy, ET, Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, and more recently Saving Private Ryan and AI.
The alien communication music in Close Encounters of the Third Kind was also a Williams composition. Briefed to write a five-note theme by Steven Spielberg, he had written 350 different attempts before a mathematician informed him that there are over one hundred thousand possible combinations of five notes, at which point Williams decided to stop composing and choose one. Apart from film music, Williams has written concert pieces including two symphonies, and various concertos for Bassoon, Cello, Flute and Clarinet. He also composed the news theme for NBC (called The Mission) and themes for several Olympic games. His son Jospeh Williams has achieved independent fame as a singer in the 80s pop band Toto and as the voice of Simba in The Lion King.

Back in 2009, Corsair launched the HX850. The power supply quickly became a favorite amongst gamers and builders as it performed very well with great options and was available at a very competitive price. Add in the seven year warranty and for many it was a no-brainer that this was the power supply to have for mid-range systems.
Fast forward three years and we find that Corsair is still selling the HX850 like hotcakes. Unfortunately it is starting to fall behind in the PSU market as newer, more efficient models have made it to the market.
Fortunately for everyone who is a fan of the HX850, Corsair decided it was time for a refresh and gave the HX850 an overhaul. This time around it still has the same I/O specifications and awesome seven year warranty, but comes with increased efficiency, better connector availability and a slight aesthetic redesign.
Corsair promises the same great performance that the unit is almost legendary for so read on as we take an in-depth look into the new Corsair HX850.
Specifications, Availability and Pricing
DC output is identical to that of the previous HX850 power supply. The unit is capable of 70A on the single 12V rail. Both the 3.3V and 5V rails are rated for 25A each. These have a combined total wattage of 150W. The 5VSB is rated for 3A for a total output of 15W. Total combined maximum output of the unit is 850W.
The new HX850 comes with a full list of protections including short circuit, over voltage, over current, over power and over temperature protections. The unit has received a bump up in the efficiency department and is now rated for 80Plus Gold over the previous model which was rated for Silver. Corsair manufacturers the HX850 with both native and modular cabling, all of which is fully sleeved or of the flat ribbon type. Topping everything off is rating for 100% continuous output at 50C.
Corsair has an MSRP of $199.99 on the new HX850. That puts the unit towards the high-end of the price spectrum for 850W units and in direct competition with the Kingwin LZP-850 and SeaSonic Platinum-860, as well as Corsair's own fully modular AX-850. This gives it at a bit of a disadvantage in the price department, but we wouldn't be surprised if there was a price drop soon or a rebate offered to make it more competitive.
The new HX850 is still backed by Corsair's impressive seven year warranty.

Finally, Damon wrote this week's installment of "Line of Attack," the Sun's relatively new factcheck-like feature in which the paper "will parse a political attack, looking at the strategy behind it, how the campaign is delivering it and what facts support or refute it, [and] assign it a rating on the fairness meter: Legit, Eye Roll, Guffaw, Laughable or Outrageous." To the Romney campaign's presentation, including in an attack ad, of snippets from a recent Obama speech in Roanoke, VA, Damon assigned a "laughable" rating, noting that "this is a classic example of cherry-picking a speech for comments to wield as an out-of-context sword in a campaign ad"—before providing readers with that missing context. (The Washington Post's Fact Checker came to a similar conclusion this week, assigning the ad in question "three Pinocchios.")
With this item, Damon gave Sun readers far more than readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal got—a brief summary of the ad, its claims, the strategy behind it, and links to the ad and to the full Obama speech from which the ad (misleadingly, though the Review-Journal doesn't get into this) lifts.
Such journalism goes well beyond the basics by providing information and analysis that Nevadans can actually use to make informed decisions at their polling places. Yes, such efforts take more time, but the value of the reporting soars.

Once More – Happy Birthday, Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen celebrated his birthday with 10,000 of his closest fans in Bucharest yesterday.
In what has become the standard template of the Leonard Cohen World Tour, the concert was sold out and repeatedly described as a spectacular, transcendent performance.
New Song – Happy Birthday Sung By Bucharest Audience – Added To Cohen Concert Set List
The Youtube offering embedded below is not a great video but it is a grand experience. In addition to Cohen's typically superb performance of Famous Blue Raincoat, there is a bonus. As the video starts, one can hear the final bars of the audience singing Happy Birthday to Leonard Cohen.

The following video is a fine version of Closing Time, including a better than usual view of the band and the Webb Sisters. (It is, however, flawed by leaving Sharon Robinson MIA.) Not to be missed is Cohen's high-stepping stage exit in the final seconds of the video that belies the singer-songwriter's 74 years.

The Republic of the Congo
The Republic of Congo is often referred to as Congo-Brazzaville (the nation's capital), to distinguish it from its large neighbour to the east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Republic of Congo is sparsely populated, with more than two-thirds of the population living in Brazzaville, the port city of Pointe-Noire, or along the railroad linking the two. French is the official language.
The Republic of Congo is one of Africa's largest petroleum exporters. Mining, forestry and commercial agriculture are also important sectors.
The Republic of Congo is a founding member of the African Union. It is also a member of La Francophonie and the Economic Community of Central African States.
Australia's Ambassador to the Republic of Congo is resident in Abuja, Nigeria.

Know how to use "fewer" and "less"? Find out.
Sarcodina Sar·co·di·na (sär'kō-dī'nə, -dē'-)n. A superclass of protozoans that includes the rhizopods.
any protozoan of the superclass (sometimes class or subphylum) Sarcodina. These organisms have streaming cytoplasm and use temporary cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopodia in locomotion (called amoeboid movement) and feeding. Sarcodines include the genus Amoeba (see amoeba) and pathogenic species, e.g., dysentery-causing Entamoeba histolytica. These protozoans' cells may be spherical or irregular in shape; the pellicle (or envelope) is usually thin and flexible. Sometimes there is an external shell (see foraminiferan) or skeleton (see radiolarian). The cytoplasm, composed of ectoplasm and endoplasm, may contain more than one nucleus. Food, which adheres to the body surface or is trapped by pseudopodia, is digested in food vacuoles.

Ana will appear on the cover of the August issue of FHM. The 20-year-old was captured earlier this year near Palm Springs by renowned photographer Don Flood.
The feature is expected to run to at least eight pages and promises to include some of Ana's best ever imagery. It goes on sale in Britain on 1 July, and other editions around the world are due to be published soon after.
Here is a sneak preview.
Photo: Don Flood / FHM
Ana is the subject of a six-page exclusive feature in the new issue of Hello! magazine, one of the world's largest-selling publications. She was photographed for the magazine in Key Biscayne earlier this year.
The pages are reproduced here, and the following is an extract from the interview, which was conducted by Rosalind Powell.
Ana, you've been described as a young Brooke Shields, and the Catherine Zeta Jones of the tennis world. How do you feel about that?
Ana is on the cover of the new issue of Sports Illustrated in South Africa,, which went on sale yesterday.
Under the headline "Ana from Heaven" (a play on the term "manna from heaven"), Ana is lovingly portrayed by the writer Paul Fein as the world's foremost female athlete. The publication describes her as a "tennis goddess".
The following is a reproduction of the introduction of the feature:
Ana is the subject of an excellent in-depth feature in Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper today.
The following is a reproduction of the article:
Ana Ivanovic sitting pretty for WTA top spot
By Clive White
Ana is on the cover of the latest issue of Tennis Magazin in Germany.
The following is an extract from the feature, which is headlined "Queen of Hearts!":
Nearly nobody hits the ball as hard as Ana does. Nearly nobody plays so consistently on all surfaces as Ana does.
She is beautiful, plays very attractive tennis and has charisma. Ana Ivanovic is well on her way becoming a superstar.
Blic newspaper in Serbia interviewed Ana during the recent Fed Cup tie in Zagreb. The publication asked Ana some imaginative questions and gave the feature a unique headline:
Ana Ivanovic reveals details of her personal life for Blic
Pancake expert
Author: T. Dragojevic | 30.04.2008 - 00:11
Ana is on the cover of the new issue of Tennis Week, which goes on sale in North America next week.
"Just how hot is she?" asks the cover, while inside writer Joel Drucker, who followed Ana's progress closely during the Indian Wells tournament, describes her as an "icon" and "the It girl" of tennis.
The following is a short extract from the feature:
Ana was recently interviewed by Sport newspaper in Serbia. The following is a transcript:
Did you fulfil most of your professional and personal goals up to now? There's practically no country you haven't visited, no emotion you haven't already experienced; you've already earned enough money, you've met many people, you've reached almost the top in your tennis career...Is there something that can still excite you, something that you haven't experienced yet? Perhaps a gift, trip...anything at all?
Ana was recently interviewed for the Fed Cup website about the upcoming tie against Croatia.

Christ Church Bangkok is involved in outreach to the ex-patriate and Thai community through the many activities seen on this web-site. Many church members are involved in NGO's and mission agencies working in Thailand, as full-time workers, part-time volunteers and somewhere in between. If you want to be part of this Body of Christ reaching out, come along to church and get to know some of the people. You can also find out more by reading about the various outreach activities below.

Karen Ministry
The major outreach responsibility of Christ Church is with the displaced Karen people on the Thai/Burma (Myanmar) border. Since 1982, we have been involved with ministering to this people group. We are involved in supporting the Karen Anglican clergy as they minister to their people, and in the running of three pre-schools and an orphanage in Mae La Refugee Camp and also in Noh Bo Academy; a secondary school nestled in the hills in the small village of Noh Bo. See the Karen MInistry page for more info or click here.

- Ruth Center
In the past, the elderly have been regarded as a pillar of their community. But now, the elderly are often treated as a burden, and are often rejected and neglected. Ruth Center began in 2008, and its goal is to work with slum communities in Bangkok's Prawet District to improve the quality of life for the elderly and seek long term solutions to their care. Out of the 14,000 elderly there, less than 200 are receiving a monthly pension of 500 baht from the government.
We give financially, but you can support this ministry by volunteering to help with Construction or Care for the Elderly.

That interior space may be usable, but it certainly isn't very visually exciting. The two-tiered dashboard is patterned after the TSX, and although clean and balanced, it lacks the visual pizzazz found in both competitors and other Acura offerings. There's a surprisingly high quantity of hard plastics throughout, but areas frequently touched by users (i.e. armrests, upper door panels, etc) do receive small infusions of softer materials.
One unique touch lies with the center console. At first glance, the design doesn't appear to be anything special -- open it up, however, and you discover a cavernous compartment that is easily able to swallow purses, cameras, small backpacks, and even a 17-inch laptop computer. Better yet, the compartment is lockable, allowing valuables -- including any iPods plugged into the USB interface located within -- to be secured.
Forced Induction Four
Rear-seat passengers are treated to ample leg and headroom, but unlike the second-row occupants in the MDX, they're not treated to any significant lateral bolstering. That's too bad, considering the turbocharged four-banger underhood may encourage the driver to fling the MDX around.
Power continues to be provided by a turbocharged 2.3-liter I-4. Essentially the same engine found in four-cylinder TSX models but fitted with a turbo, the forced-induction powerplant is rated at 240 horsepower at 6000 rpm, and 260 pound-feet of torque at 4500 rpm. Those figures eclipse many four-cylinder competitors, and actually come close to the naturally-aspirated 3.0-liter I-6 used in the BMW X3 xDrive28i, but unlike several of those engines, the turbo 2.3-liter is very peaky, and is doesn't respond in a linear manner. Unlike the Audi's 2.0-liter turbo-four, offered in the Q5, Acura's engine doesn't benefit from a long, flat torque curve -- maximum torque is only delivered after revving the mill halfway through its rev range.
While some competitors -- notably Mini's Cooper S Countryman All4 -- offer drivers the choice of a manual transmission, the RDX makes do with only an automatic -- and an aging five-speed unit, at that. Though the gearbox is sufficiently smooth and quick to respond to throttle input with a downshift; it isn't quite as refined as the six- and eight-speed units found in competitors. It's also no friend to fuel economy, either -- the EPA rates front-wheel-drive RDXs at 19/24 mpg (city/highway), while all-wheel-drive models achieve a 17/22 mpg rating. For perspective, the larger (and heavier) Q5 3.2 V-6 earns an 18/23 mpg label.

Donor: Gregory F. Fiore '69
What prompted you/your organization to establish and/or support a Keystone College scholarship?
"The Bonnie Bennett Fiore Memorial Scholarship Fund was established at the death of my late wife in August 1980. Bonnie was very active at Keystone with the newspaper and other College activities. We attended all functions together, and we both loved the school and its mission."
What would you tell others to inspire them to establish a scholarship?
"By establishing a scholarship fund, a special person is recognized and remembered. The Fund also enables future support to be directed to students with similar interests as the honored person, and the thank you letter from the student recipient is a personal 'thank you.'"
What advice would you give to current and future scholarship recipients in regard to their educational pursuits?
"Pay it forward! When your financial position allows for donations, don't forget your days at Keystone and how the scholarship you received, however small, helped you financially."

Hello. My wife and I live just outside of Atlanta, GA. Two daughters live in town, one with my two grandsons. :) My son is living in Hollywood, CA. I'm an environmental manager at a manufacturing facility.
My Mom and Dad would have loved this site. Dad was a huge collector of recipes and was in the food industry. Mom was a terrific cook as well. Another influence was a roommate at the Universtiy of Arkansas that was an excellent cook. Today I enjoy barbecuing and grilling year round and cooking in general. My latest adventure is in bread baking. I'm loving it and going to school on it right here on the bread forum.
I'm active in a terrific church and also love fly fishing and fly tying.
I've lived in Texas, Arkansas and Louisianna and picked up a taste for traditional chili, smoked brisket, gumbos and etouffees. I love Tex-Mex as well as classic mexican food.
I guess follks associate me with barbecue, breads and gumbo. Each year our church hosts two Thanksgiving dinners for our town and a neighboring town. We smoke about 1200 lbs of meat each year for this. Lots of guys cooking, lots of smokers (some huge ones), lots of fun, very little sleep.
My favorite restaurant is one that my entire family of origin worked at one time or another: The Red Apple Inn in Arkansas. Last summer I ate there after about 30 years and the food was still great.
Other favorites include Dante's Down the Hatch in Atlanta and Carmines off Times Square in NY (go early).

15 Beasley to Evatt
Cablegram 5 LONDON, 12 January 1948, 3.46 p.m.
Your telegrams 388 [1], 389. [2]
Indonesia Owing to Noel Baker's visit to New York and Bevin's absence on holiday, I only got an appointment with Bevin on Saturday afternoon 10th January.
2. I made the various points in your telegram adding that it would be scandalous if the Dutch as a result of their so-called 'Police action' put the Indonesians in a worse position than under the Lingajadi Agreement.
3. Bevin paid tributes to Kirby's work and said that according to his information (i) Committee of Good Offices had taken a real lead in the past week.
(ii) Dutch were again trying to weaken it by qualifications and conditions.
He had issued instructions that the Dutch were to be told they must not hold up a settlement by Committee by these vague qualifications.
4. Bevin agreed with your concern for the future of South East Asia and said he had frequently put this point of view to the Dutch who had accused him of being worried unduly by problems of food which South East Asia could supply. He blamed the Dutch for breaking a line of countries from Australia to China in which relations between Western countries and nationalist movements could be satisfactory. He said that the Dutch were most foolish not to accept the position reached in the Lingajadi Agreement.
5. I put frankly to Bevin the point about Grey's advice to the Republicans. Bevin said he had in fact authorised Grey to advise the Republicans that they should accept the Committee's proposals as even if they appeared to favour the Dutch the Indonesian movement was bound to win however the Dutch tried to restrict their natural development. But he had not advised capitulation to the Dutch.

San Diego's Andreas Stevens, aka DJ Greyboy, is renowned the world over as both a selector and a producer of funk, soul, acid jazz and hip-hop, an architect as well as an archeologist of beats. As such, he's also an addict of the highest order. Just ask him.
"In '87 or so, I started getting really intrigued by how people were taking bits and piece of old records that I had never heard of and making new shit out of them," Greyboy recalls. "So that started my whole thing of becoming a record junkie, as far as digging. My parents weren't really into music. My mom listened to Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers. That's good music, but it was nothing that was influencing me.
"What got me into deejaying and hip-hop," he goes on, "was the original electro stuff. In L.A. there was this weird scene with Egyptian Lover and a group called Uncle Jamm's Army. There was a label out of Hollywood called Techno Hop Records that put out some electro stuff. That type of hip-hop didn't last for very long, but that was what got me really sparked. I remember listening to Mantronix and Knights of the Turntables and thinking, 'This is some next shit.' There was something about it that appealed to me. It was kind of dark, and there were no organic instruments or sounds in it at all."
Ironically, the genre that Greyboy would become most closely associated with -- acid jazz -- could not have been farther away from the synthesized, coldly robotic tones of electro. Acid jazz rose to prominence in England at the dawn of the '90s as a revival of '70s funk-jazz fusion, a warm and organic sound that emphasized live instrumentation and earthy melody. In fact, the original style is the source of the lion's share of beats and breaks that hip-hop producers have sampled over the years -- which is why it resonated so deeply with Greyboy, who in the late '80s was struggling to make a name for himself as a DJ on the West Coast.
"Hip-hop deejaying in the early days, it was like pulling teeth," Greyboy says. "The underground scene was just starting to happen. People had just started opening clubs and having DJs that played underground music. But you'd get sweated for not playing popular stuff. I'd be, like, 'Fuck you. This is what's going down.' I would force-feed the people this music. There was very little coverage. I remember, even in '87 -- we're talking the golden era of the music -- you could go up to somebody on the street and say the words ';hip-hop' or 'rap music' to them, and they'd say, 'What are you talking about?' That's unreal. But that's what was cool about it, too. It was just a small group of people trying to do some shit that was new."
After a record-digging expedition to London in 1988 during which he was first exposed to the nascent sounds of acid jazz and house music, Greyboy's thoughts turned from spinning records to laying down tracks. At age twenty, he bought his first sampler and devoted himself to learning how to program, sequence and engineer his own songs. He was obsessed, as he puts it, with "making something original out of pieces of other shit." But one minor detail held him back from creating rap records: no rappers.
"I didn't have any MCs to work with, at least nobody that I thought was good," he explains. "I don't live in the Bronx or Queens. I live in Southern California. There just weren't a lot of good MCs out here. I'd rather have no MC than a lame MC, you know? So I was, like, 'Fuck it -- I'm going to make beats, and I'll just have instruments instead of vocals. I'm going to get the illest sax player and just create melodies with him.'"
That sax player turned out to be Karl Denson, then a sideman in Lenny Kravitz's band and now the head of the funk/jam powerhouse, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe. Greyboy was blown away by Denson's performance at a show and approached him afterward, hoping to enlist him in his new project. Denson, though, didn't warm up right away to the unorthodox idea.
"I told Karl that I was a DJ and that I wanted to do some music that incorporated sax over hip-hop beats. He had no idea what I was talking about," Greyboy says with a laugh. "As a matter of fact, I had to call him four times and beg him to come down before he ever showed up. He thought I was bullshitting or crazy or something."

Welcome, we're here to help.
Resources, tips and tools to build a stronger Texas workforce.
On this page:
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) provides training and employment services to help low-income Texans 55 or older gain the skills needed to get jobs and become financially self-sufficient. SCSEP participants work roughly 20 hours a week for nonprofit organizations, school districts or government offices to receive work-based training and provide valuable services to their communities. Eligible participants earn minimum wage at their work-based training assignments, so they earn income while training.
The types of organizations that offer SCSEP participants work-based training include:
You are eligible for SCSEP if you:
Number of People in Household | Maximum Yearly Income |
1 | $14,588 |
2 | $19,663 |
3 | $24,738 |
4 | $29,813 |
5 | $34,888 |
6 | $39,963 |
7 | $45,038 |
8 | $50,113 |
More than 8 | $50,113 plus $5,075 for each added person |
If you have a documented disability, you are considered to be a family of one, even if you live with several people in your household.
Some income is not included in income eligibility calculations, such as disability benefits and unemployment benefits. You can use the SCSEP Contact Directory to ask the SCSEP representative for your county if you meet the program's income eligibility requirements.
The first priority for program enrollment is given to veterans and their eligible spouses, as long as their discharge was not dishonorable.
The second priority for program enrollment is given to individuals with at least one of these characteristics:
SCSEP offers these services and benefits:
Your work-based training assignment depends on your job goal, the skills required for the job and the skills you need to learn or improve. Here are some examples of work-based training assignments:
SCSEP is a temporary job training program. The program helps you learn the skills you need and access other resources so you can find a job in one or two years. Some people need more time to complete their training. The longest time that you can stay in SCSEP is 48 months. Some SCSEP organizations let you stay in the program an extra year if you meet certain requirements.

This is what most travellers come to NinhBinh to see: limestone karsts sweeping up from serene rice paddies, best appreciated on a languorous rowboat ride the river, to the suondtrack of water lapping against the oars.
It' de rigueur to describe the area around Tam Coc as the inland version of Halong Bay, but that's not exactly a gair comparison. Halong Bay sweeps across 3000 islands, at Tam Coc the encounter is much more intimate. Along a mere 2km of the Ngo Dong Rive, undisturbed by engine nosie, the limestone outcrops loom closer, larger this is the kind of landscape that would have suited the Romantic poests just fine.
Except that isn't most visitor's experience of Tam Coc. The scenery is Spectacualr but given its immense popularity, the river's of ten filled its with a crooked procession of boats inchuing by, with all the accompanying babble and noise. To really enjoy the view, come in the early morning or laterr afternoon.
Each boat carries two visitors, as well as the main rower and a secondary rower. The route takes boats throungh thr three caver for which Tam Coc is named: Hang Ca ( 127m long), Hang Giua (70m long) and HangCuoi (45m long). Eagle-eyed travellers may spot a small temple preched on an apparently inaccessible hilltop
Tickets are sold at the small booking of fice by the car park. The journey takes about two hours. It's not necessary to have a torch, but remember to bring sunscreen and a hat or umbrella, as the bosts aren't shaded. Rowers are adept at using their feet to prople the oars, which makes for a tourist-pleasing Kodak moment. Less pleasing is the hard sell that kicks in as the boat prepares to rurn around at the eand
The area behind the Tam Coc restaurants is Van Lan village, famous for its embroidery. Local artisans make napkins, tablecloths, pillowcases and T- shirts, some of which you might encounter on the boat ride. A lot of these items are sold on Hanoi's Pho Hang Gai, but it's cheaper to buy them here, direct from the artisans.
Hoa Lu was the capital of Vietnam during the Dinh (968- 80 AD) and early Le (890- 1009 AD) dynasties. The Dinh chose the site to put some distance between them and China, as well as to take advantage of the protection of the region's rocky outcrops, as spectacular of the region's rocky outcrops, as spectacular as Tam Coc's. Most of the ancient citadel has been destroyed, but it used to cover about 3 sp km Yen Ngua Mountain provide a scenic banck-drop for Hoa Lu's Two surviving temples, both intimate spaces dominated by beautiful dark-red lacquered pillars. The first, Dinh TienHoang, was returned in the 17th century is dedicated to the Dinh dynasty. At the front of the main temple building is the stone pedestal of a royal throne; inside are bronze bell and a statue of Emperor DinhTien Oang with his three sons.
The second temple is to Le Dai Hanh, an early Le monarch. Inside the main hall is the usual assortment of drums, gongs, incense burners, candle holders and weapons, with a statue of the king in the middle, his queen on the right and their son or the left. In the left-hand section of this complex a museum features part of the excavations of the 10th- century citadel wall.
Given how much of it is in ruins, perhaps the best way to appreciate Hoa Lu to hike up to the tombs of Emperor Dinh Tien Hoang, 80m up the light of steps at the hill opposite the ticket office. It takes about 20minutes o to up, and for the best view of Hoa Lu, stop and bach just before you reach the tomb

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: May 23
By Laurie Kulikowski - 05/23/12 - 11:39 AM EDT
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. The best banks for small-business loans. Which banks lend to small businesses the most? Not surprisingly, community banks. A new tool called Banking Grades by the Philadelphia-based company MultiFunding found some of the biggest banks have the worst performances in terms of how much small-business lending they do as a percentage of their domestic deposits.

I shoot primarily SIG P220s for IDPA. Last year I picked up a SAO Carry and liked it so much for shooting Custom Defensive Pistol, I decided I wanted to shell out some money to have a dedicated competition gun done by Bruce Gray at Grayguns.
Some of the work I wanted required a stainless frame to work on, so I bought a brand new P220 Stainless Elite and shipped it off. While it was at the shop, Hogue finally released a version of their Extreme Aluminum grips for the SAO P220. I just got the finished product back, and it came out great!
It has been converted to SAO and gotten an action job; they did a custom blended magwell and fitten a pair of the Hogue's to that; a little overall smoothing; and some frame milling to get the whole package down to 40.4oz unloaded with an empty magazine.
Roy at Grayguns, who did the finishing work, posted pictures over at SIGforum before he shipped it back, so I am just going to crib his pics to show it off.
The overall package, first. In my opinion. it's beautiful.
Here's a couple views of the magwell. This is the primary competition upgrade that I wanted, and it is what required the stainless frame.
The trigger is awesome. Takeup has been reduced, it breaks very cleanly (at right around the factory weight of 4.55--5lb), and the reset is as close to non-existent as I would ever want in a competition gun. I'd say the reset compares to the best 1911 trigger I have ever tried.
I am a very happy camper.

Yes, Obama "Won Twice" – as a Progressive. Deal With It, Everybody.
Today's American right is burdened with a highly specialized and hyper-amplified sense of outrage. That outrage was triggered during this week's State of the Union speech, especially by the president's off-the-cuff response to a group of Republicans who sarcastically applauded the line, "I have no more campaigns to run."
"I know," the President replied, "because I won both of them."
Cue the indignation. A conservative named Ben Shapiro, whose tweet was reproduced in Heritage's Daily Signal, offered a typically huffy reaction. "What a classy guy," snipped Shapiro (who presumably feels that interrupting the President of the United States with sarcastic applause is "classy").

Welcome to brarygrl's Member Page
See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
I recently moved to a new place and started a new garden so everything is still in development. I was able to transplant many of my favorite items from my old garden with the help of some awesome friends I met here on Gardenweb. My central Texas / Edwards Plateau / hill country garden currently has 9 large raised beds placed against the fence of the small yard. The house/yard are in the older hill country style, lots of little rectangles. I love learning about native and xeric plants and I am a member of the Austin Iris Society and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. I love mixing tall bearded iris with native (especially deer resistant!) plants. I also have a weakness for silver/variegated foliage and climbing vines like clematis and passiflora, of which there are many native Texas varieties. My favorite color is purple so my garden reflects all shades. I also grow organic and heirloom veggies. When I'm not in the garden I'm a librarian.

Jen, we must lead similar lives then!Lol... my best friend lives beside me and has 2 girls(my god-daughters), and most of my friends have only 2, ethey are split between one of each gender or 2 of the same, but I wasnt even done my pregnancy with DS2 before I was planning on trying again( when we started having kids, I said"1 is enough", then "lets try for a girl, 1 of each, then we're done" even before I found out DS2 was a boy, I tolld people, "if this is a boy, Im just meant to have boys, Im still done".. but a friend introduced me to sway, she had her little girl( just months before I had DS2 ) by swaying, so by the end of my pregnancy I wanted to try agin, I just had to wait until DS2 was old enough, and DH was somewhat ready,hehe..I love my god-daughters, doing their hair, and makeup and picking out clothes for a special occasion(theyre mom, isnt good with that, so she lets me help them) but its still not the same as your own, you know?..So Im going to try one more time, doing everything I can to help a little girl along, if we still have a boy, Im hoping that I will know that he was truely meant to be, but I still worry about having alittle GD
P.S. I'm sure if you ask my boys when they are teenagers in about 10 years if they love eachother they would say no, but as long asd I can help them love eachother later in life once all the hormones calm down, thats all I want, and to me it doesnt matter if we have a DD or DS this last time, either way in about 10 years, they will have their spats,lol..Thats my thinking anyway

Herwig Huber
In 1985 Herwig Huber, * 1965, founded the group FAUXPAS with Peter Großhauser. During the following years, Fauxpas became one of the most important driving forces of the Neues Deutsches Design, an independent, intellectual scene, whose representatives created a sensation as designers, producers and distributors of experimental furniture. In spite of the fact that Großhauser und Huber were only half as old as the majority of their colleagues, their work caused amazement through the combination of creative ease and absolute clearness.
Since the group disassociated in 1994, Herwig Huber operates a freelance design-studio under his own name in Munich. He conceives furniture, light, displays and other gadgets, produces small series in his own workshop, curates exhibitions and writes programmatic texts. At the moment he is in search of a publisher for his story of the group Fauxpas.

Things to see and do nearby
- South West England
The South West region is probably England's most well-known holiday hotspot, being home to some of the most famous seaside resorts. Pretty villages and harbours in Cornwall, many with sweeping sandy beaches, such as St Ives, Polzeath and Port Isaac to name but a few, give way to sophisticated seaside resorts in Devon and Dorset which include Bournemouth, Torquay and Ilfracombe. The history of this region is unrivalled; Wiltshire's spectacular downland and the stone circles at Avebury and Stonehenge, through Hardy's Dorset, dramatic Dartmoor and gentler Exmoor, to the mining landscapes of Cornwall and West Devon, which are now recognised as being of international significance, having been awarded World Heritage Site status in 2006. The Trust protects 370 miles of the coastline in Devon and Cornwall and, wherever you are in the two far western counties, you're never more than 25 miles from the sea. As well as this peninsula, the Trust also cares for much of the countryside in Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset and a wide array of fascinating properties to visit and explore. Not surprisingly, perhaps, this area is also home to the widest selection of National Trust holiday cottages.
- West Cornwall
The far west of Cornwall has a unique atmosphere. The most southerly point in Britain, the Lizard, with its turbulent seas, treacherous reefs and towering cliffs, has an unusual quality which sets it apart from the rest of Cornwall. Yet, with its unique flora, tiny fishing villages and fascinating caves and coves, this quiet corner is ideal for the visitor who appreciates untamed natural beauty and many dramatic views. Land?s End Peninsula, also known as West Penwith, has equally magnificent cliffs and turbulent seas, but is very different in character to the Lizard. Here, granite moorland meets the sea: an ancient haunting landscape of small, rocky fields, isolated farms and hamlets and an extraordinary wealth of archaelogical remains. This tiny corner abounds in places to visit and the Trust manages or owns many of these including St Michael's Mount and the nearby Trengwainton Gardens, Levant Mine at St Just, the ancient house of Godolphin and Lizard Point. Aside from the wealth of National Trust properties other attractions include the famous seaside town of St. Ives, beloved of artists over the years and now the home of the Tate Gallery, the underground tour of Geevor Mine, St Just, Penzance, with its helicopter and boat links to Isles of Scilly, RSPB site at Marazion, the pretty harbour at Mousehole, Penlee Gallery in Newlyn - the list is endless! For the more energetic, outdoor activities abound with wonderful sandy beaches, watersports, walking, horse-ridnig, fishing, golf and cycling.

A place to sit and soak up the peace
As a family we love Cornwall and this corner at Trelissick is just beautiful. We love the fact that once at the Engine House one can shut the gates and shut out the outside world. As well as what the Engine House is like inside the garden shared with the Water Tower is a wonderful place to sit in and soak up the peace and quiet with just the birds there for company- including the blackbird that sits on the chimney pot and whose song is amplified in the fireplace. Also as a photographer it was wonderful to take so many pics of the birds there .

Location is grest
I really enjoy the tranquility of this cottage and the garden, even though I was there in the winter. You wouldn't really know you were in the middle of the Trelissick estate. Summer evenings must be lovely and evening walks. The location is great - walks on the doorstep and a good jumping off point for the whole of Cornwall.

The walk around the Estate is perfect - our dog loves it!
The location is excellent - close to everything - but far enough away from everything! The walk around the Estate is perfect - our dog loves it! We love to do the walk and then stop off for coffee at the cafe - how good is that?! The cottage always feels very homely - its like a home from home to us and as soon as we step through the door we are made to feel very welcome by the flowers, etc. We stayed there 3 times in 2012 - each time was as good as the one before! However there was an Event being held on 5th January - a Pipes and Drums Evening (I think thats what it was called) - luckily, because it was a winters evening we could only just hear it - but if that event was held during the Summer months - then it could have been quite noisy - so maybe events of a musical nature should be discouraged, certainly in the summer. When the events organiser is booking events for the Barn, more consideration should be taken for the 2 cottages that are close by! The cottage is always spotlessly clean - biscuits, sparkling wine and even doggie biscuits were left for us - such a nice touch! Its a shame a dishwasher and WI-FI can't be fitted into the cottage - that would make it even better!

Martin the piano player was incredible in person. He's got some mindblowing talent.
They finished the night with the Castlevania music. That and the Zelda montage were my favorites.
Tommy Tallarico has a great stage presence. I had no idea that he was 40 years old. He was rocking away during the Aerosmith Guitar Hero bit. (He played a real electric guitar while a contestant played the game... along with the entire orchestra.)
Fantastic show. Highly recommended.
I'm wearing my t-shirt from the show right now. ;)
