But Drewe calmed his nerves by telling Myatt, who a year before had been lovelorn and broke, how brilliant he was, how rich he would get. ''I was flattered into thinking I was a man of importance,'' Myatt says, although he concedes he had an ''abiding sense of unreality, that this wasn't really happening, that this would all end in tears.''
Before Myatt, the most successful forgers of our time counted on the brute force of their pictures, imitating one or two giants of art so that the paintings' discovery would be splashy news, the reclamation of a ''lost masterpiece.'' Hans van Meegeren aped Vermeer in the 1930's and 40's; the flamboyant Tom Keating did Rembrandt in the 1950's, and Eric Hebborn copied Augustus John, Corot and others of their ilk.
Hard information on the quantity of bogus art sold is difficult to come by, in part because fraud, when discovered by dealers and auction houses, is usually kept secret to boost public confidence in the art market. Experts usually claim that, depending on the period and the painter, between 10 and 40 percent of pictures by significant artists for sale are bogus, or so overrestored as to make them the equivalent of fake. One of a number of reputable West End dealers drawn into the scam, who demanded anonymity, claims that 15 percent of sales at auction houses are fake. Thomas Hoving, former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has said that during his tenure, a full 40 percent of the artworks considered for purchase by the museum were phony or overrestored. Geraldine Norman, the British art journalist credited with exposing Keating and Hebborn, says that at least 10 percent of the pictures purportedly made by major Impressionists are fake. Some experts say that as much as 60 percent of the Giacomettis on the market are fake, at least in part as a result of Drewe's con. Forty percent of pictures supposedly from the Russian avant-garde era are almost certainly forgeries. The widows of Modigliani and Chagall were accused of selling certificates of authentication. Salvador Dali, lying on his deathbed in a stupor, is said to have been fed thousands of sheets of blank paper to sign for fake lithographs. In a grotesquely sad twist, the Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico was caught back-dating new pictures to a time, 20 years previously, when his work was popular and in heavy demand, in effect forging himself.
Modern art, in particular, seems especially vulnerable to fraud. Its abstractions are sometimes difficult to understand or grasp, and a modern painting is often loved less because of its intrinsic quality -- its beauty, as conventionally understood -- than because of the identity of the painter, its mark of social status.
''There is the line that modern art pretends to be things it's not,'' says Sandy Nairne, director of national programs for the Tate Gallery. ''There is a crossover between the way Drewe perpetrated a con with the cultural view that modern art may be viewed as a con on the public.'' There is a sense, Nairne says, in which Drewe was simply ''making up modern art.''
All of which made buyers of modern art the perfect target for Drewe, who counted on his victims' hunger for found treasure. Serious collectors and art experts, among the world's most educated, often cannot fathom the possibility of being rooked, and then once taken, cannot face the humiliation of admitting it. Says Hoving: ''When the collector gets what he wants and he's told it isn't real, he says, 'I don't care, to me it's a Renoir.''' Even though one forged Giacometti, a 1955 ''Nu Debout'' Drewe sold to two New York dealers, is obviously lacking in the artist's typical depth of field and manic linearity, one of the dealers maintains, ''I still think it's one of the best Giacomettis I've ever seen.'' As Geraldine Norman puts it, many collectors' interests in art ''are reflections of social climbing and romanticism about names, a thousand things that have nothing to do with the surface of the work of art you are looking at.''
A forger's chief motivation is typically intellectual gamesmanship. Embittered by the spurning of his own work, he takes satisfaction in suckering the entire art world en masse, then pulling aside the curtain, exposing himself as a renegade genius and the art experts as the frauds and fools. Drewe had a different strategy: to deliver low-profile paintings in high volume, make multiple hits for hundreds of thousands of dollars -- which would not attract unwanted attention -- rather than a few jackpots worth millions. To succeed, however, he had to begin creating irresistible provenances.
'A painting's last owner is the forger's biggest problem,'' the prosecutor Bevan says, standing beside a shoulder-high mound of banker's boxes containing Drewe's output of faked documents. He pulls out a sheaf of faked provenance for the forged 1955 Giacometti. ''You can show who owned paintings in the 1950's -- just use people who are dead,'' he said. ''But the last owner is usually alive.'' According to Bevan, Drewe used several people, most of them easy prey -- old friends or acquaintances down on their luck in money or love -- to front for Myatt's forgeries.


text: WYNNEWOODThe incorporated community of Wynnewood is located in the southeastern section of Garvin County at the junction of U.S. Highway 77 and State Highway 29, sixty-six miles south of Oklahoma City. In 1886 John H. Walner, a resident of the Chickasaw Nation, moved his house and store approximately four miles south from Cherokee Town on the Washita River and established a settlement along the proposed route of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Re Railway. When the line reached Walner the next year, railroad personnel renamed the village Wynnewood after a Pennsylvania town. The designation became official on April 6, 1887. Wynnewood grew quickly as a market place. By 1900 the community claimed 1,907 residents and reached 2,002 by 1910. Recovering from a low of 1,820 during the Great Depression decade of the 1930s, the population peaked at 2,615 in 1980. It then declined from 2,451 in 1990 to 2,367 in 2000. A promotional brochure produced around 1907 dubbed Wynnewood "the Queen City of the Famous Washita Valley." The town had an opera house, electric lights, telephones, and the thirty-room Eskridge Hotel, a favorite railroad stop between Oklahoma City and Dallas, Texas. The Eskridge Hotel (NR 79001994) and the Hargis-Mitchell-Cochran House (NR 82003684) are Wynnewood properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Local education began in 1887 when Mary Semple Hotchkins, a Presbyterian missionary, moved her school for Chickasaw children from near Cherokee Town to Wynnewood. Area citizens paid for the construction of Indianola College, a Presbyterian institution, in 1901. After it closed in 1909, the college was used by the town as a junior and senior high school until 1927. While the railroad provided a stable foundation for Wynnewood, residents developed an agriculturally based economy. Native pecans, peaches, corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa, cotton, and clover were principal crops during the early 1900s. A cottonseed oil company and four cotton gins supported the cotton industry as investors added lumberyards, barbershops, dry goods stores, banks, and other businesses. Early newspapers included the Wynnewood Republic and the Wynnewood Times. The Wynnewood Gazette appeared in 1906 and remained in publication in the twenty-first century. In 1922-23 the Texas Pacific Coal and Oil Company built an oil refinery that became the lifeblood of Wynnewood's economy. Kerr-McGee Corporation purchased the facility in 1950, and by 1957 employment at the refinery equaled all other area jobs combined. Owned by the Gary-Williams Energy Corporation since 1995, the Wynnewood Refining Company continues to produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other petroleum products for the Mid-Continent area, while providing local economic stability and funds for civic programs.

New. Yes the pains are old, still healing; the trials still need to be faced. But there is new. New chances. New beginnings. New dreams. It has been a year (or 8) of trial after trial. It has been one painful moment after another, feeling like I'm treading water, barely keeping my head up. I've often felt like I am screaming for those around me to see that I'm hurt and drowning and instead of reaching out a helping hand I've had insults and lies thrown in my face… "You're being dramatic", "You need to just move on", "You are just fine." I don't say this to play a victim or seek pity. And it has not been lacking in its little life raft moments and blessings. I look at every step of my story and even the hard times and painful moments brought growth and opened doors to the next step. We've had some very key characters play a role in our story. Last year our word of the year was closure. It was one that, at the beginning of the year I was not too excited about. I knew with closure there is often facing
New doesn't intimidate me. Or scare me or cause me to question. I love New Year. I love clean lines and fresh beginnings. Blank calendar pages holding promises of opportunity. Empty "to do" lists meaning anything can happen and I'm not bound to commitments. But what happens when I "add new event" on iCal- Or, as I inevitably will, break a new year's resolution? What happens when old habits win out against new attempts? When the new doesn't feel very new anymore…. I went on an amazing adventure in 2013. An eleven month, eleven country mission trip. New was easy to find. New was easy to dream with and set goals with… and try to do better with… Then, I came home to the very opposite of new. I came home to the town I went to high school in, I moved into a bedroom with furniture from my childhood. I drive the same way to work every day. I started the new year with every intention of greatness, every hope of being different and the energy to fulfill every new resolution… It's been two weeks- and new has been replaced with normal. Radical with rhythm. And the promises of
I hated 2014. I'm not talking about hate in the sense of "I hate when it rains" or "I hate when I get stuck in traffic" like I was annoyed by the past year. I mean I loathed 2014 with every fiber of being. As in when December 31st cam and I knew this year was coming to a close, I gave 2014 my middle finger and told it that I hope to never see it again. Yes, I hated 2014 that much. You see 2014 is what I like to call my Year of Tears. I think sometime around July I asked myself how it was possible that my tear ducts hadn't imploded from all of the crying I had done. 2014 was the year I became a grown up. It was the year where I learned of my sexual abuse, faced days and even weeks apart from my husband, and where God stripped me of everything I thought made me who I was only to create a clean slate in my heart and start over. I saw a lot of my ugly this past year, and let me tell you, it was NOT fun. So yeah, I was really

I've read it over ten times. Day five. This post in my devotional book is one I go back to. One that no matter how many times I've read it, it somehow always brings me to tears. It's a message my soul needs repeated. It's a message I feel you need to hear. So I'm sharing it with you today. Day five. My breath of grace. My hope for today. I hope you are blessed.

Highway system | ||||
M-30 is a state trunkline highway in the U.S. state of Michigan that runs in a north–south direction from the Midland area to West Branch. The highway runs through rural parts of three counties in the Lower Peninsula. The southern end runs along the Michigan Meridian and parallel to the Tittabawassee River. Prior to 1962, M-30's southern terminus ended at a junction with M-46 in Merrill. Since then, the segment south of US Highway 10 (US 10) was returned to local control and decommissioned. In May 2009, M-30 was extended southerly from US 10 to M-20, restoring some of the highway decommissioned in the 1960s to M-30.
Route description[edit]
M-30 is a rural, two-lane highway. M-30 follows Meridian Road starting at an intersection with M-20 (Isabella Road) outside of Midland. From this intersection, the highway runs north along the Michigan Meridian through forest lands to a crossing of the Tittabawassee River near Sanford. M-30 passes through the community and crosses the US 10 freeway near the location where the latter crosses a narrow section of Sanford Lake. The road continues north running parallel to the lake along the meridian to a point near Edenville. There, the highway turns westerly along Curtis Road and then back northerly on Midland Road to a crossing of the Tittabawassee and Wixom Lake.[3][4]
Past the river and lake crossings, M-30 angles to the northeast to return to the Michigan Meridian. The area adjacent to the lake is farm land, but continuing north, the highway returns to the woodlands of the Au Sable State Forest. M-30 intersects M-61 at Wooden Shoe Village near Smallwood Lake. The highway continues to parallel the Tittabawassee River, crossing several of its smaller tributaries, until a point south of the Gladwin–Ogemaw County county line. The trunkline passes through a small unnamed, unincorporated community northwest of Hockaday near Indian and Elk lakes as the road turns to the northeast between the lakes in the area. M-30 crosses the county line near Edwards and continues northward. The highway turns to the northeast as it approaches West Branch, crossing under I-75 without an interchange. M-30 ends at Business Loop I-75/M-55 on the west side of West Branch.[3][4]
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) maintains M-30 like all other parts of the state trunkline highway system. As a part of these responsibilities, the department tracks the volume of traffic using its roads in surveys using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). MDOT calculates the traffic level for a segment of roadway for any average day of the year in these surveys. For 2009, the highest traffic levels were observed on the section north of US 10 at 7,579 vehicles per day. The lowest AADT levels were the 2,952 vehicles between the M-61 junction and the Gladwin–Ogemaw county line. The survey did not include the section south of US 10.[5] No segment has been listed as part of the National Highway System,[6] a network of roads important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[7]
M-30 was first designated by July 1, 1919. The original routing only ran from Winegars to West Branch. South of Winegars, the roadway is a portion of M-18.[1] An extension of M-18 in 1928 or 1929 south of Beaverton led to the redesignation and extension of M-30 south through Edenville and Sanford to end at M-46.[8] M-30 was completely paved as the last 15 miles (24 km) of gravel roadway were completed between Sanford and the Midland–Saginaw county line in 1961.[9][10] The next year, when M-30 was truncated to end at the US 10 freeway in Sanford, the remaining portion south of US 10 was turned over to county control.[11] On May 13, 2009, the Midland County Road Commission (MCRC) and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) signed a Memorandum of Understanding that transferred control of Meridian Road south of US 10 to M-20. The roadway transferred included a newly constructed bridge over the Tittabawassee River and other segments of roadway rebuilt by the MCRC.[12]

Look up Forested pork.
One that is whey-fed (maybe a dairy that owns a few pigs), or as suggested above (Forested) would be tops on my list. The forested pigs eat a lot of nuts (typically acorns) near slaughter time and they tasted GREAT!
Pastured is the usual term around here.

Vito Mazza helps men and women dealing with hair loss increase follicular forestation with a variety of services designed to restore and bulk up thinning strands. During each laser-hair-therapy session, a low-level laser shines onto the scalp for 20 minutes to help stimulate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which helps boost cell activity and produce healthier, stronger manes. Meanwhile, guests can relax and spend their time reading, watching television, or writing personalized welcome letters to each new head thread. Though results can vary, this treatment can help halt excessive hair shedding and create a fuller, thicker, and more versatile villus. Groupon users will receive a total of eight sessions that should be scheduled twice per week to optimize results and scare away birds that may nest in tresses between treatments.
Since 2003, Greatcuts' licensed cosmetologists have been fine tuning the hairdos of men, women, and children. They pay strong attention to detail in every service, whether they're cleaning up men's hairlines, ousting frizz with keratin smoothing treatments, or giving the Mona Lisa bangs. They also launch manes to new aesthetic heights with coloring treatments, deep conditioners, and perms, and wax away unwanted facial hairs.
As its name implies, Transitions Salon is all about change?but only the kind of change that complements clients' preexisting beauty. The salon's stylists can expertly cut and highlight hair of all types, but they always take time at the beginning of appointments to ask for their clients' input. This is important, as their color treatments can dramatically change any look by covering up grays and shifting blond shades to full-on palomino.
At Absolute Chiropractic & Massage, two schools of health join forces to become that much more powerful. The chiropractic and massage services treat a wide range of ailments, including neck pain, sciatica, headaches, and low back pain. And though those ailments may be the most common, chiropractor Joseph Mazzeo knows that no two conditions are exactly alike. Therefore, he addresses each pain complaint with custom treatment plans, instead of the same stress-ball squeezing schedule. The same goes for massage therapist Kelly Pomphrey, who adjusts her pressure and areas of focus according to her patients? needs during Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone massages.

Lamont Weekly Report, February 1, 2013
Every now and then, a finding from another field of science reminds me that the workings of our planet are sometimes more fascinating than we imagine. A story posted by The New Yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2013/01/dung-beetles-danc...) on Sunday describes a paper in Current Biology by a Swedish team reporting that a species of dung beetle uses the position of the Milky Way to.....
Lamont Weekly Report, January 25, 2013
The week began with the inauguration of our nation's President for a second term. His inaugural address on Monday included a full paragraph worthy of sustained note by all of us, clearly focused as it was on those challenges addressed daily at Lamont and across the Earth Institute:
Lamont Weekly Report, January 18, 2013
It is the last week before classes resume at Columbia, but it was a busy week nonetheless.
On Monday, the university announced that Susan Solomon of MIT and Jean Jouzel of the Commisariat à l'Énergie Atomique will share the 2012 Vetlesen Prize (http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/news-events/two-climate-scientists-win-vetl...). Solomon is being recognized for identifying the physical and chemical processes that produce the Antarctic....
Lamont Weekly Report, January 11, 2013
The week has been filled with good news.
On Monday, word came from the International Association for the Physical Sciences in the Ocean (IAPSO) that Arnold Gordon is to receive the association's Prince Albert I Medal for 2013. The medal, named for prince of Monaco who was the founding president of the organization from which IAPSO evolved, is awarded once every two years. Only the seventh recipient of this medal, Arnold was cited "for his outstanding contribution to our knowledge of the general circulation of the ocean and especially for his studies of the Southern Ocean and inter-ocean exchange." The medal will be awarded at the next IAPSO General Assembly, to be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in July...
Lamont Weekly Report, January 4, 2013
It's a second three-day workweek in a row, this one with a thin layer of snow on the ground, a new calendar on the wall, and the promise of new adventures as the next twelve months unfold.
Today marked the arrival to Lamont of Craig Manning, who is spending the spring semester at the Observatory while on sabbatical leave from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at UCLA. A Professor of Geology and Geochemistry and recent department chair, Craig is an expert on high-pressure aqueous geochemistry, metamorphic petrology, and submarine and terrestrial hydrothermal systems...

If the number of holiday parties and their culinary offerings are measures of the collective enthusiasm and energy of an institution, then those qualities are at the highest levels at Lamont. I have attended nine such events in the last seven days, and I hope to make it a round ten after completing this report.
Early this week, Bärbel Hönisch wrote to suggest that I mention in my weekly report the successful defense last week of a Ph.D. thesis by one of our graduate students...
Lamont Weekly Report, December 14, 2012
For many of us, the return from the AGU Fall Meeting and the end of fall semester classes remind us that another calendar year is drawing quickly to a close, a perception that no doubt fueled the pace of a particularly full week.
On Wednesday, the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences announced that their Sara Langer Book Prize has been awarded to Jesse Farmer. This prize, awarded on the basis of a vote among the DEES graduate students, acknowledges outstanding contributions to graduate student life in the department and at Lamont. Our congratulations go to Jesse for this recognition, as do our thanks for his efforts that led to the award...
Lamont Weekly Report, December 7, 2012
For those of us at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, the week has been a whirlwind patchwork of oral and poster presentations, program planning discussions, earnest conversations, and renewed connections, in part a multi-dimensional signpost of scientific progress across the Earth and space sciences and in part the tribal ritual of an enlarging and ever broadening community.
The week was launched with a meeting of the Marcus Langseth Scientific Oversight Committee on Sunday. The business portion of the meeting included reports from.....
Lamont Weekly Report, November 30, 2012
The week before the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting is always among the most hectic of the year, and this week has been no exception.
On Tuesday, we held a reception in appreciation of Barbara Charbonnet and her many contributions to Lamont's development programs. Under Barbara's leadership,.....
Lamont Weekly Report, November 21, 2012
It's been a short workweek, truncated by a welcome opportunity to give thanks for family, friends, colleagues, and professional progress over the past year.
It is saddening, however, that geodesist and tectonophysicist John Beavan, a long-term member of the scientific staff at Lamont, succumbed to bladder cancer this past weekend. John rose through the ranks to senior staff the observatory......
Lamont Weekly Report, November 16, 2012
For me this has been a week spent off campus. I chaired a two-and-a-half-day meeting of the MESSENGER Science Team hosted by UCLA and held in Santa Monica, and UCLA persuaded me to stay in town for another half day to give a departmental seminar. The warm weather and views of the Pacific have been a welcome change, and I've been moved by the large number of our west coast colleagues who have offered sympathy and concern for those of us who weathered....
Lamont Weekly Report, November 9, 2012
By Wednesday of this week, we were no sooner back to a normal shuttle schedule and nearly full electrical service, the latter thanks in large part to the crews sent to assist our region by Georgia Light and Power, when we were welcomed by the first snow of the season. Dubbed winter storm Athena by The Weather Channel, the nor'easter delivered a coat of white to the campus and added insult to those still struggling to recover from the injuries of hurricane Sandy. Locally, our Building and Grounds crew once again rose to the challenge and put in extra hours to clear roads and pathways into the evening and the next morning...
Lamont Weekly Report, November 2, 2012
This week has been consumed by Sandy and its aftermath. Because Lamont remains without normal electrical power, and many of our staff still face multiple challenges at home, it is appropriate to offer only a short and focused report...

Lamont Weekly Report, October 19, 2012
Lamont Weekly Report, October 12, 2012
The first full round of Major League Baseball playoffs and a debate between Vice Presidential candidates remind us that we are in the month of October.
Lamont Weekly Report, October 5, 2012
Lamont Weekly Report, September 28, 2012
Today we recognize those in the Lamont community who, over the past year, have received awards in science and education or have been tapped for honorary lectureships. A recognition ceremony and reception to acknowledge these honorees is being held this afternoon in the Monell lower lobby...
Lamont Weekly Report, September 21, 2012

Are you sure you know this is a game?
1) It's not only a game, it is a game based on a fictional universe, that has primarily appeared on TV and Movie screens. The rules it follows are narrative. If someone is a hot shot pilot named Tom Paris, it doesn't matter if you put him in a Delta Flyer or a Intrepid Class Cruiser, he'll still fly it awesomely.
2) Have you watched what the Captains are actually doing when they command their starships? Sitting in their chairs, ordering others aroun?
How much does it look to you like what a Pilot or a Driver is doing?
Comparing the Captain of a starship to a bus driver is highly questionable. Whatever parallels you are drawing ... I am afraid they actually meet each other before reaching infinity.
As a Captain, I do not fly on manual control with a joystick most of the time. I give orders. I can give orders regardless of whether I sit in a Galaxy Class ship or a Stargazer ship, just like how Captain Picard did before me.
3) In the real world, we don't suddenly stop learning because we reach some kind of skill cap. We keep doing it. There is no reason I should have to "forget" about flying an Escort before I can fly a Cruiser normally. But for game reasons, we have a skill cap, so we have to make meaningful "game" choices. But once you have decided which ship you want to fly - well, there is no point in reeinforicing that choice by spending skill points just for that ship. It's a superflous restrictions. Maybe a good idea if you want to sell Respecs, but that's it.

I grew up in rural Tennessee, the youngest son of a United Methodist minister and a photojournalist. Growing up in the 1990's and 2000's, the Internet was a formative presence in my childhood. Fascinated with online interactions and the power of media I ended up at Union University to study Digital Media Studies. Throughout various freelance gigs, internships, and jobs, I have worked as a photographer, video producer, audio engineer, graphic designer, social media coordinator, and web designer.
Inspired by Vincent Moon's La Blogotheque, I became fascinated with the relationship among cinema, music, and the internet. Through the university's music venue and coffee shop Barefoots Joe, I created a live, one-take, multi-cam, multi-track, student-led video performance series called Sound On Film. Lately, I've been intrigued by unique experiences with media from websites, immersing myself into the world of front-end web development.
I'm currently an Agency Coordinator at Rockhouse Partners in Nashville, Tennessee.

This village is known as ''one of the most beautiful in France'', and the label is well-deserved. Standing at the foot of the Rhune, Sare is a major prehistoric site and has carefully preserved its Basque authenticity through its large pelota court, shaded streets and fine church with wooden galleries. Known for its festivities, its inhabitants' love of tradition and for its gastronomy, Sare is also one of the liveliest towns in the Basque country.

AmaBella Cruise Review by email@example.com: Amabella provided amazing luxury and service
Member Rating
Compare Prices on AmaBella Europe - River Cruise Cruises
Amabella provided amazing luxury and service
We are retired and we did the river cruise Amsterdam to Budapest, and with many quality sea cruises under our belts (Cunard, P &O, Princess etc) we were amazed at the quality of service. We have never before been on a ship where we could not find one passenger who had anything but praise for the ship, the crew, the food and facilities. Must be a record.
When faced with the possibility of being slowed right down in Germany due to a lock keepers strike,the Captain and Cruise Director Roland (who never seemed to sleep) rescheduled everything so that without in any way affecting our ports of call and excursions the ship could speed up and get out of Germany the night before the strike with a complete rearrangement of coach trips which sometimes had four busses arriving at a river bank miles from anywhere to rendezvous with the ship.
By the way, on another cruise we would choose a cruise purely on the basis that Roland was the cruise director, so good was this guy! More
The bar staff were generous with the fully included drinks available at any time (we had expected some rationing!) and with great excursions included along with all tipping, our only bill on leaving was for some laundry, such was the totally inclusive nature of APT cruises.
Great to have good quality bicycles on board as well.
IF there was a negative, it would be that everyone on board was Australian (along with a few of us New Zealanders) and it would have been nice to have more of a mix of countries.
Would heartily reccomend APT and AMAWaterways for a river cruise. Less

A major remodeling job to convert the abandoned Wal-Mart in Clyde to house the Haywood County Department of Social Services could get underway by November. This rendering by Asheville firm Padgett & Freeman Architects shows how the dreary big-box storefront will get a new façade more fitting with the mountains. Contractors are now bidding on the $12.5 million project. The 115,000-square-foot superstore will also serve as home for Haywood's health department, planning and erosion control, building inspections and environmental health. Commissioners bought the Wal-Mart primarily to move DSS from its crumbling building, which would have required millions to fix up. In August, the county locked down a 40-year rural development loan, funded with federal stimulus money through the USDA, to pay for the project.

mac + cheese cookbook
The mac + cheese cookbook available now!
Three years and thousands of macs later, we've turned our expertise into an awesome cookbook. It has all your favorite homeroom recipes, plus a ton of new recipes (like patatas bravas mac, shepherd pie mac, four-cheese mac and more).
Expansion, Reservations, and More!
Recently we have been fielding a number of questions about what's going on with all the construction down the street from Homeroom. "I hear you are moving your restaurant?" is the most common one (No! We are not—is the answer). So we thought it would make sense to fill you in on what we are up to, and hopefully answer all those burning questions that have been floating around.
Q. I hear you are moving your restaurant down the street?
Nope—we are just expanding a block away! In a perfect world, we would have expanded adjacent to Homeroom instead of down the street, but our next door neighbor didn't want to move and frankly, her space wouldn't have been big enough for what we wanted to do. By moving down the street, we are tripling our size and will be able to do all sorts of things that we've always wanted to do but haven't had the space to make happen.
Q. If you are not moving your restaurant, what are you doing?
The original Homeroom will stay put, but it will just be for serving dine-in customers. The new Homeroom will be dedicated to three things: take-out, catering, and special events. Homeroom To-Go will be where all of our take-out is moving to. Take-out customers won't have to jostle through crowds at the restaurant to order food anymore, and will also be able to pick up all sorts of other great stuff to go, like our homemade dressings, whole pies, and beer or wine to bring home with their mac. We already do a lot of catering and events (think office lunches and Outside Lands), so our new space will have a big kitchen to accommodate a bunch of events that currently we have to turn down because of a lack of space (next year we're coming to you SF Street Food Festival!). Lastly, we will have an event space where larger parties will be able to make a reservation for special events like birthday parties, graduations, and all the stuff you currently have to wait in line for a long time to do at Homeroom. We will also use the event space for cool events we've always wanted to do more of like beer and mac pairings, or nights with cheesemakers, and all sorts of other fun classes and community events.
Q. Will all this new stuff make Homeroom easier to get into?
Yes! It became clear to us about a year ago that the wait to get into Homeroom was becoming insanely long many nights of the week, getting busier by the day, and that we really needed more space. We are confident that by allowing big parties to make reservations at our special event space and by moving take-out customers down the street, that the wait for a table at the restaurant will become shorter and much more pleasant.
Q. If you are going to let large parties make reservations at the new Homeroom event space down the street, will you let smaller parties make reservations at the original Homeroom?
Because we are still such a small restaurant and try to keep our prices affordable, we will still not take reservations at the original Homeroom and will continue to be first-come, first-served. However, large parties are what generally cause longer wait-times at the restaurant right now, so by moving them elsewhere we are pretty sure that the average wait time for a table at the original Homeroom will be much less daunting.
Q. Why did you decide to expand down the street instead of opening a new Homeroom somewhere else?
We really feel that Homeroom has so much potential for expansion in it's current location that to start opening up Homerooms elsewhere right now would really take our eye off the ball from fulfilling Homeroom's full potential here in Oakland. When we originally envisioned Homeroom, it was not only a great restaurant, but would offer a take-out experience you actually look forward to, a place to share special events in customer's lives, as well as a center for the community through classes and events that relate to mac and cheese. We try our best to do this all at Homeroom right now, but we don't have the space to accomplish it all—so we really want to make this Homeroom everything we know it can be before we set our sights elsewhere.
Q. Will you ever open Homeroom in other places?
We have spent a lot of time in the recent year soul-searching about the best way to grow the restaurant that we love so much. We have met with some really inspirational business leaders (thank you Ari Weinzweig of Zingermans, Neil Grimmer of Plum, and James Freeman of Blue Bottle!), to understand more about how they have grown their special food businesses, and how to expand something really special without losing what makes it unique. We are confident that Homeroom will one day expand beyond Oakland, but before that can happen we really want to focus on making our original location the best it can possibly be so that it can be a model for our future growth. We also want to keep developing all the managerial talent that we have so that we have leaders ready to grow with us without compromising the original Homeroom experience. These things take time, and though we are lucky enough to be approached all the time by investors, we know that slow and steady wins the race if the things you care most about most is the quality of your food, super-friendly service, and trying to be the best part of the day for every person that walks in the door.
Q. When are your babies due? And how are you doing this all while pregnant?
We have been getting this question a lot lately too since we are both pregnant and have rather huge bellies. Allison is due with her second son in August, and Erin with her first son (she already has a daughter) in September. As to how we do it all—frankly, it's not that hard and the beauty of owning your own business is that you have a lot more control of your schedule than when you work for someone else. The last time we were both pregnant we completed our cookbook– and we found that whether with writing a cookbook then or overseeing a business expansion now, the deadline of having kids on the way actually helped us because it caused us to be even more efficient with our time and actually get things done on a faster time-table than would happen otherwise. And luckily, when you love what you do, things like morning sickness or swollen feet don't get in the way (although admittedly, they are annoying).

Homeroom To-Go and Sriracha Madness
For the past few months, our lives at Homeroom have been consumed with working on our new project, Homeroom to-go, which will be opening up later this year just a block away from the restaurant. We're moving all of our take-out there, and we'll also sell cool things like beer and wine to go, full pies, jars of salad dressing, and other tasty treats. We'll also have a little condiment corner where you'll find an awesome selection of hot sauces and other toppings that are delicious on mac and cheese.
Our search special products for Homeroom To-Go led us to SOSU – a Bay Area local and small-batch maker of condiments and hot sauces. They are currently doing a Kickstarter campaign to get their Whiskey Barrel-Aged Sriracha to market. When they contacted us about doing a special event with them around our sriracha mac, we were intrigued. But what really convinced us was after we tasted their sriracha in our mac and cheese. We were blown away, and immediately said yes.
So for ONE NIGHT ONLY, on February 27th from 5:30 til 10, we'll be making ALL of our sriracha macs with Sosu's Barrel-Aged Sriracha. Aged in whiskey barrels and naturally fermented with chilis and a touch of brown sugar, this sriracha is smoky, fiery, and delicious. This is sriracha for all of you who think you don't like sriracha.
The owner of Sosu, Lisa, will also be at the restaurant to give you samples of her magical sauce.
For all you sriracha-lovers out there, we thought it would be a fun event to try something new, and a cool way to support a new business whose product we'll be excited to carry at Homeroom To-Go.
You can contribute to Lisa's Kickstarter campaign to get a jar to a barrel of the Barrel-Aged Sriracha. Let's help her find a permanent home and bring to market a delicious product!
Hope to see you on thursday!

text: This has a lot to do with the labor negotiations 2-3 years ago. There are different unions covering film work and video work. When the video union signed a contract and the film people held out for a better deal, production companies saw that a lot of money in labor costs could be saved switching their productions to video. There was an almost overnight switch as you describe.

How I See It: NFC East Stock Watch
Matt MosleyFALLING 1. Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback: I know he got banged up on the first play of the game, but that's not the reason he lost two fumbles and threw an interception in a 24-14 loss to the Vikings. And Vick would have had at lea...

I see that you fulfilled the photo requested for his grave marker. I see that in additional to his name, a Molly is also shown. She has a memorial at the same cemetery, maybe you would want to add the same photo to her memorial (Find A Grave Memorial# 74271371).

I wonder if there's another way to observe this day and the season of Lent which it inaugurates by considering where those ashes come from. I don't mean their traditional origin in last year's Palm Sunday palm fronds that are burned to ashes and mixed with oil to create an adhesive mix, but a deeper origin.
Studies show that the more you toot your own horn, the more negatively you're evaluated: Self-promoters are not only less liked, but also earn lower salaries and fewer promotions. Bragging about yourself violates norms of modesty and politeness -- and if you were really competent, your work would speak for itself.
