text: Microsoft Has So Much to Show at E3 They're Having to "Move Stuff Out" of the Show Nick Calandra March 21, 2014 The Xbox One is set to make a bang at this year's E3 if Phil Spencer's latest Tweets are any indication. According to Spencer, the Microsoft press conference is already exceeding the 90 minute time limit and they are currently being forced to cut stuff from the show. Thankfully, it's sounding like Microsoft won't focus too much on the extra stuff that Xbox One has to offer during it's press conference so they can put a majority of the focus on gaming software. Last year's E3 wasn't too shabby as compared to previous years, so we have high hopes it'll be another great show. We wouldn't complain too much however if we got a trailer for that upcoming Halo series they're working on making. @PotentialyGreat Yes, I think you'll see very few execs. We are already over our 90 minute time limit and having to move stuff out of show. — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) March 21, 2014 As you can probably guess, we'll be seeing a lot of new stuff from Microsoft at E3, including information on Sunset Overdrive which Spencer noted today that we wouldn't be getting any information on the game before E3. @FahimRaian Nothing on this before E3. — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) March 21, 2014 Spencer also answered a question regarding DX12, saying that some features are already in the system, but "full DX12 is coming". @Nicodemus9 DX12 will have impact on XBOX One games written for DX12. Some DX12 features are already in XBOX One but full DX12 coming. — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) March 21, 2014 We here at OnlySP are eagerly awaiting new information on Sunset Overdrive, Quantam Break and of course the next Halo project so be sure to stay tuned to OnlySP for all the latest on those titles and of course, anything single player related. bigshynepo They better be spending some time telling everyone why they were forced to pay for a voice controller… barackshobama voiced controller? Is that a thing, and if so, where can i buy one. bigshynepo The Kinect? I say "Voice Controller" because that is the feature everyone is relegated to using in order to justify the purchase. There sure aren't any compelling games for Kinect yet… kevin I for one did not feel that anything was forced on me as an early adaptor & consumer bigshynepo Xbox One Kinect could've been an accessory like last generation, nothing has justified it yet over 360 functionality. kevin It could've been , but then people would whine about it's price tag especially with what this Kinect does and offers. Zohak Diaz Since you dont own one, you dont know. I personally wouldn't be interested in an xbox without the Kinect! I think its a great addition to the whole experience and will definitely dominate in the near future. You are flat out wrong "I think its a great addition to the whole experience and will definitely dominate in the near future." This is what Xbot delusion looks like. http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra Not really…I"m using the Kinect much more than I thought I would. I do voice commands for everything aside from games. I use it to turn the system on and off, navigate through Netflix, video controls, searches etc. It's a lot more useful than one might think if you've never tried it. datdude The problem, Nick, is it's a novelty. It works well at times, but not nearly enough to justify the price or make it better to use than a controller. And without 100 percent accuracy of commands, what's the point? The controller input works flawlessly 100 percent of the time. At best, Kinect is perhaps 80 percent. That can't be considered good enough for any device. http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra Oh I agree, after the latest update it seems to be working less than it did before, which is odd. But as you know, technology gets better overtime and as someone who was totally against Kinect being included in the first place, I'm actually pretty happy with it so far, save for a few commands I wish it had etc. It's going to be interesting to see how the PS4 camera fares if there's any similarities. I haven't read much up on it yet. datdude Fair enough Nick. The PS4 camera has rudimentary voice controls and facial recognition features with gesture controls said to be patched in later. The most interesting aspects of the camera, and the move controller are now, in my opinion, linked with project morpheus following that vr headset reveal. The head tracking was said to work flawlessly, so that's pretty exciting. We shall see. I was never a kinect fan, and never bought it for my 360. It's one of the many reasons I haven't bought an xbone yet, though in no reason the main factor in that decision. Zohak Diaz Its great bro. They are missing out. Zohak Diaz Said the broke sony bot who wasnt even buy his next generation console You are flat out wrong Had one for ages. Suck my nut, Zohan. bigshynepo I'm roughly 20 feet from an Xbox One right now. The Kinect isn't used much at all besides for menu navigation. Instead of a condescending comment that makes you come off as a fanboy, why don't you tell us all these fabulous ways you use the Kinect? Zohak Diaz I turn my tv on with my voice, browse to whatever i want to do on my xbox with my voice. Only use my controller when i am about to actually play a game. Kinect is great it the environment Around is right. People having problems with it its only because they still havent manage the right tone to,speak to it yet. datdude Is this unfortunate speaking english, or sheep speak? Zohak Diaz It probably will never recognize ur highpitch no balls barks. bigshynepo In Canada, most guide functionality does not work, most media portals are unavailable. Maybe if I was using Kinect to surf through my TV guide, I would get more use out of it. One day Microsoft, one day. datdude You wouldn't be interested in an xbone without kinect because you're a moron. You really shouldn't be calling attention to your own mental deficiencies. Zohak Diaz Multimedia machine is better than a simple indie station. Indie station is easy so morons like you get excited. Mutimedia requires more analytical thinking. You are flat out wrong Shouting at your console needs analytical thinking? Then again juggling the crap Xbone OS probably requires it. Why does the Xbone have no games, Zohan? Zohak Diaz In your imaginary sony blind world it has no games. We at the xbox community are enjoying triple a games such as titanfall, forza, ryse, dead rising, and killer instinct. While you enoyed killzone at 720 mp and infamous second son. Other than that 1000 indies. You are flat out wrong An MP-only last-gen multiplat, a last-gen unfinished racing game, the blunder of the year, a game MS had to pay Capcom to make cos they had no interest in making it and an unfinished fighting game. You call that triple A? You Xmorons have extremely low standards. datdude The standards of the xbox only sheep are as low to the ground as their bellies and their udders. That much has been established. You are flat out wrong I know of at least one Xbot who bought 16 Xbone games. 16! To quote Jeff Goldblum: that is one big pile of shit. http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra You, as well as Zohak are on a short string here. If you can't level out your comments to be more discussion worthy and less personal attacks, I will have to ban your comments. Dennis Crosby Sound like the stuff there pulling out we go over to gamescom mikeslemonadeFromN4G There will be better PS4 news. Sony has been more quiet. taternuggets It's pretty easy not to talk about nothing. You are flat out wrong No games announced by Microsoft since last August. Who's talking about nothing, again? N2O1990 Black Tusk Gears of War isn't a game,that's news for me. You are flat out wrong Shame they had to scrap their new IP to do so. Still, here's to 2016! mikeslemonadeFromN4G Just look at out of the 3 companies which one has more relationships to game developers and more 1st/2nd party game developers. That's Sony. It's kind of like a overmatched sports team against an average team. Sony has won E3 more often than not. With Sony in the drivers' seat I think it won't even be a contest as far as who will win this years' E3 and for the rest of the generations' E3. mikeslemonadeFromN4G Just look at out of the 3 companies which one has more relationships to game developers and more 1st/2nd party game developers. That's Sony. It's kind of like a overmatched sports team against an average team. Sony has won E3 more often than not. With Sony in the drivers' seat I think it won't even be a contest as far as who will win this years' E3 and for the rest of the generations' E3. They have won the last two: 2013. PS4 price 2012 TLOU A champion is a champion until they're dethroned. https://www.youtube.com/ButtonBros TheRedButterfly lol Being quiet ≠ has better news. Usually it foreshadows the opposite situation. Xtreme Derp Which is why MS has been trumpeting Titanfall sales. Oh wait. LOL Zohak Diaz I hear the trumpets everyone. datdude Xbone version of Titanfall outsold by Infamous PS4. Titanfall combined sales from pc and xbone may be outsold by Infamous. Trumpet indeed. They're playing taps for dat bone. Taps. #Closedcasket Zohak Diaz They havent released numbers yet, so yes. .. ur comment doesnt make me horny. N2O1990 Well i bet he is using the fake news site "insiderp" as "source" Zohak Diaz Definitely You are flat out wrong Yeah, we're gonna have to wait for confirmation of that, otherwise it's as bad as Xbots crowing over VGchartz. Will Robinson Sony is letting go everyone, they have no money Bilal Prince- Ali oh dear.. i dont know if this is serious or if you're just stupid…. :O lool Zohak Diaz Its serious, deal with it datdude I'd wager on the stupid. Where can I put the bet down? Bilal Prince- Ali i though people like this were put into asylums or at least had responsible supervision though..? You are flat out wrong One project scrapped for being terrible, two project leads quitting because their projects came to an end and a 19 year vet retiring? Yeah, that's "letting everyone go." Xbot fanfiction, everyone! datdude Said the guy with no money. mikeslemonadeFromN4G Yes you can choose to believe in that myth. Getaway, 8 days, and The agency?? Ring a bell. PS3 has a huge list of canceled projects when you wiki "PS3 canceled games". And PS3 still managed to outsell the 360 by 1 million last generation. https://www.youtube.com/ButtonBros TheRedButterfly Gonna be a killer E3! CAN'T WAIT! So many great games! Gonna be a great time to be an Xbox fan. ^_^ Zohak Diaz It already is a great time to be an xbox fan! https://www.youtube.com/ButtonBros TheRedButterfly True story! http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra Great time to be a game of any console really. There's a lot of great stuff coming across all platforms. I think our wallets will be the blunt force of this attack https://www.youtube.com/ButtonBros TheRedButterfly Well yeah… Being an Xbox article I specified… But you're right! Nintendo will hopefully show a new Zelda (and please a new Metroid) right after launching Mario Kart 8. Sony will showing The Order and probably Uncharted and some other stuff that I don't keep up with. EA will hopefully give us looks into Mirror's Edge 2 and Star Wars Battlefront… BioWare showing off Dragon Age Inquisition and hopefully Mass Effect 4. Ubisoft showing off The Division (maybe also The Crew). Microsoft showing off the next Halo (H2A hopefully), new Fable, Quantum Break, Sunset, etc… possibly a teaser from Black Tusk? Forza Horizon 2 maybe? Then there will be all the new 3rd party IPs and even more on announced titles (The Witcher, Batman Arkham Knight, Evolve, etc…) Yeah, our wallets are gonna be hurting… ; – ; #TotallyWorthIt kevin Why not do 2 shows , the 90 min show at E3 the other show leading up to E3 opening segment from their Redmond campus via Xbox live. Just divided key personnel between both events ,so nothing is left out doesn't miss the big day that is E3. N2O1990 Last year they announced some games right before and after E3,maybe same this time. https://www.youtube.com/ButtonBros TheRedButterfly That'd be awesome! I'd be all for it. Put out a few titles and leave the heavy hitters (the Halos and whatnot) for the E3 stage. Maybe that'd be a good time to showcase some of the exclusive indies? I for one don't really care about the majority of them, but giving them a spotlight would be a great PR move if nothing more. Steph Looking forward to xbox E3 for sure, definitely Sonys too and it will be nice to see what Nintendo are going to do….it better be something big for the wiiU or else it will keep failing. Bilal Prince- Ali OMGGG!!! A positive comment about all 3 companies! FIIIINAAALLLYYYY!!! lol.. but its True i dont understand why people seem to have forgotten about the Wii U.. i hope Nintendo's show is all we hope it to be! Aggy Even if Wii U "Fails" Nintendo will be fine, there was alot of doom and gloom regarding Nintendo ever since the projection report was released but they have a huge bankroll and 3DS is killing the market . N64 and Gamecube werent exactly successful but they got through that and they will get through this. Nintendo Fan 4 Lif3 They better show Halo, and possibly game play for it too. Zohak Diaz This year's E3 will be dominated by Microsoft. Theres nothing interesting from Sony, perhaps more Layoffs? You are flat out wrong Halo rehash, Kinect games and a couple more TV shows, haha! Zohak Diaz Just with Halo, all Sony bots will tremble You are flat out wrong Yeah, a series half milked to death. Maybe they can complete their obsession with dead franchises by announcing Resident Evil exclusivity too. >:D Zohak Diaz U talking dead half milked to death franchises, im sure you are including, uncharted series, and infamous. You are flat out wrong Not interested in Uncharted tbh, they should have dropped it after 3. Pretty much ended well enough then. Infamous is my favourite first party SCE IP, and it's only just released its third game, so. Wanna compare that to Halo? kevin You do realize both sides are milking franchise. datdude Of course. Sony only has the best first party developers in the industry. You're absolutely right, nothing interesting at all. Project Morpheus? Who would be interested in that? After all, you've got your kinects, which work flawlessly………..about 60 percent of the time. Flawlessly I say. The only thing Microsoft is dominating is themselves, as they are spinning faster than a pulsar attempting to downplay the arse kicking Sony is handing them at retail in both hardware and software sales. Dominate indeed. It is to laugh. Zohak Diaz Project morpheus is doomed to fail, VR has been around for a long time. Do your research. datdude I thought I told you to shave your vagina. Zohak Diaz Some clearasil can help with ur Pimpled-face son, dont loose hope You are flat out wrong Senior hype monkey keeping Xbot peckers up for E3. Shocking news. Though they barely have any execs left considering they're all quitting in droves. I wonder if he'll announce that a few more studios don't actually exist. dOUBLEm04 Go look and find out who has left this week on the other team. Let's see Jack Tretton resigned 50 employes been given the boot. Two head game designers. One from SCE God of War the other from Sucker Punch studios ala Infamous. jb223 Yeah all of these losses are very disconcerting…haven't bought into next gen yet, but I've been looking at Sony since I dig single player gaming, but some of its best studios are losing some of their vital talent. Not sure what's going on, maybe its all above board but the wording doesn't necessarily seem that way. As successful as the ps4 has been, Sony as a company has been in dire straits lately, it would be crazy of them to make their cuts in what is essentially their most potentially profitable division but maybe that's the case since a lot of these losses are long term employees most likely receiving some high salaries. Losing Amy Hennig might be the biggest blow to Sony in a long time, as great as Naughty Dog are at designing games, Uncharted was as great as it was because of Hennig's grasp on story & characterization (at least for me). Probably a good choice in waiting it out, hopefully everything beyond sales starts looking up for all consoles because there seems to be so much negativity bouncing around despite these record setting launches. You are flat out wrong Tretton retired after a long career Employees left because their project was scrapped after four years of development hell. Game designers left because their projects were through. Usual turnover in game studios, mostly. I wonder which next Xbox cancer will be the next to be removed. Penello? Mehdi? Hyrb? kevin Nice spin on the truth http://www.showtimeforfree.com/ miDnIghtEr20C And on cue. Flat out fanboy is in another Xbox One article trolling away. Seriously. I play an Xbot on the net too.. but I'm not in every single PS4 article posting crap. I just post in Xbox articles against people like you that troll them. Flat out annoying. datdude I bought a ps4 first this gen, while last gen I bought my 360 first then my ps3. I'm really waiting to see what E3 holds for both Sony and Microsoft. I'm fairly certain Sony will impress, they have been on a roll of late. If Microsoft's E3 is a kinect showcase, I'll throttle somebody. Games, games, and more games, please. And not motion controlled garbage. If Microsoft hasn't learned their lesson by E3 2014, there is no hope for them this gen. Give me a reason to buy the xbone. Zohak Diaz The xbox community is better off without you. Enjoy ur suck station datdude Shave your vagina, we can see the hair from your genitals up on your face. Zohak Diaz Are you getting ur 3′ inch erection? ImonadrugcalledCharlieSheen Hey Zohak hows about you STFU! Zohak Diaz Here comes sony butthurt pony. LOL kevin Don't think it will be a Kinect show case , unlike last year they were trying to sale u the Kinect. This time its in the box so all they need do is hint about it. Fango spencer is mostly all talk and no show. so ill have to wait until e3 till actually get excited. Arlim Great Article ImonadrugcalledCharlieSheen "Last year's E3 wasn't too shabby" That was a joke right, you'd have to be completely deluded to believe that. And to me this just sounds like making an excuse for not having stuff at the conference, it will be another lame show for Micrsoft and they will just say they coludnt fit everything in, BS. All Microsoft ever does is lie to people.

I'm building a new house and I am past due to finalize cabinet layout so need to asap! I have one wall that has been harder to finalize so I am coming here again for more advice. I am attaching two pictures with two possible layouts. Trying to decide if I want the big "pantry" at one end or not and making two sections 15 inches deep and making the upper cabinets glass in part or all of them. However, I really can do anything I want with this wall and want it to be attractive as possible. It will be for storage of dishes, pampered chef stoneware, towels, etc..... It is the left wall in this picture. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is another layout option for this section. I am also trying to decide if the height should be the same for all cabinets or if I should have height differences. I also would like a couple of the cabinets to be 15 inch deep. Also, debating which cabinets, if any, should have glass uppers. |

Chardonnay Video Shoot-Out! Central Coast vs Sonoma/Napa!
So I became an ABC (Anything But Chard) gal. It was quite a few years before I found the Chard character my palate desired and, as I discovered, you had a spend a little money to get it. Nowadays - whether it's because you really don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy a good Chard or because my palate has matured - I enjoy it on a fairly regular basis.
Yup. Me. Liking white wines. Who'da thunk?
We're Baaack!!
By the time you're reading this, I'm hoping that you've had some time to marvel at the new look and feel of the Vegas Wineaux website and blog.

I have some very nice plants going they are Caruso and Tropic, both are hybrids for growing in Hydro. I have many flowers but no fruit either. I just changed my nutrients 2 weeks ago for the flowering. My flowers are not yellow inside like the ones I have outside in my greenhouse in soil. Does this mean they are not pollinated? I have a fan on them and shake them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
can you get us a closeup of the flowers? maybe they're just immature. Mine are all yellow when they open, buy I'm gtowing heirlooms. How old are the plants? |
- Posted by urbangardenfarmer (My Page) on Tue, Jan 26, 10 at 23:50
Not enough light. |
The plants are about 2 months old. |
I will try to get a close up, my camera is not great |

Our first amuse-bouche was a Parmesan cookie coated in vegetable ash, more lovely than yummy but a clear window into Syhabout's culinary mind. The second had both elements, plus creaminess and crunchiness. It was a custardy egg yolk in a date puree, with onion soup and malt-flavored oats, so impressive and singular I immediately recognized it as the star of my first visit there. Fava-bean soup, topped with a flowering sprig, was still-life in greenery. Grilled lingcod, gorgeously presented and accompanied by four or five other items, required picking away at the plate. That style of composing dishes—generously offering too much to choose from—might be the single flaw in the new Northern California cuisine.
I'm not certain there is a better casual Italian restaurant in America than Flour + Water. At first glance the menu appears ordinary—appetizers, pastas, pizza, entrées. Yet thoughtfulness and masterful technique are abundant. Eat there and you might wonder why Italian restaurants aren't normally this vigilant and ambitious. The recipes are original, the sourcing impeccable. The pastas are contenders for the best in America, based on their delicacy, flavor, and intensely concentrated sauces, which are applied sparingly. Among the best are ricotta triangoli in brown butter, pork-and-cabbage raviolini spiked with horseradish, and taleggio scarpinocc that look like miniature Chinese pot stickers. Should you like your pizza ethereally light, Flour + Water is likely to become your favorite San Francisco restaurant. The following might not be thought of as a welcome endorsement, considering my dated tastes, but I also admire the wall-of-sound music. The first time I went there, I walked into "Burning Down the House," a song a little before your time but well after mine.
Sons & Daughters is a marvel, the restaurant more than a few chefs told me I should try because it had no reason to exist. The pedigree of the co-chefs, both in their late twenties, is the problem—they essentially have none. The two men are Teague Moriarty and Matt McNamara, who have contributed to their own obscurity by failing to put their names on their website. Before opening the restaurant, one worked at a high-end take-out shop in Berkeley and the other at a restaurant in Colorado. (McNamara also did stages at fancy European spots.) Moriarty wasn't about to cover anything up: "People always ask us, 'Who are you guys?' " McNamara adds, smiling, that so little experience is an advantage, because chefs with huge pedigrees don't have such open minds.
Their plates have bushels of elements, another reaction to the austerity of Alice Waters. Such cooking has to be technically impressive, as theirs is, since it requires many ingredients to be prepared perfectly, then assembled. I was particularly intrigued by the abalone, a product I've considered wildly overrated for forty-two years, after first eating it in Saigon. Here it was pan-seared in butter. On the plate with the abalone was burdock-root puree, celery, salsify, olives, and a garnish or three.
So successful has Sons & Daughters been that Moriarty and McNamara are now getting résumés from cooks who have already been offered jobs by Kinch, the legend. They are trying to make up their minds where to go. Says Moriarty, "We say to them, 'Go work for David Kinch.' "
Commonwealth, two doors from Mission Chinese Food, is in many ways—none of them culinary—its colleague. A partner in both is Anthony Myint, who is astonishingly quiet and extraordinarily benevolent. Commonwealth, like Mission Chinese, donates a portion of its receipts to charity, in this case $10 from each $65 tasting menu. Jason Fox, the chef of Commonwealth, is wildly inventive, matching Dominique Crenn technique for technique and perhaps exceeding her in global reach, but his food is simpler, more approachable. Fox is convinced that travel and stages—short stints in the kitchens of celebrated restaurants—are less essential than knowledge available on the Internet. "I've seen every dish in the world on my computer," he says. |
Uni, or sea urchin, is masterfully enlivened with yuzu kosho paste, a Japanese condiment, and his carrot-fennel soup contains tapioca popcorn. He loves playing with vegetables. His asparagus was accented with a condiment that resembles authentic dirt but is considerably tastier. (Edible dirt is widespread in the Bay Area, probably due to Kinch, who came up with a coffee-chicory dirt in 2006.) The dirt at Commonwealth is made from dehydrated black olives crushed and mixed with sugar, almonds, and chicory root. The dirt tasted salty, sweet, earthy, and bitter, everything your taste buds desire.
Fox almost certainly serves the most ambitious food in San Francisco at the most remarkable prices—nothing on his menu goes for more than $16. His food is lovely, too, which I suppose can be credited to looking at so many pictures. He says of this means of learning, "Smarter guys than all of us have figured it out. We adapt it, make it more accessible, make it our own. Somebody else pushes the envelope, and what he does funnels down to us little guys."
Berkeley students were lounging on a grassy Shattuck Avenue median strip, eating leek-and-chard pizza slices from The Cheese Board Collective, as I walked toward the wisteria-entwined entrance of Chez Panisse. They were ignoring automobiles whizzing perilously close. They were ignoring Chez Panisse, a fixture in the neighborhood for longer than any of them had been alive, maybe longer than their parents had been alive.
The greeting inside was correct yet cool. Cuddly this restaurant has never been. My table was somewhat indecorous, with a sheet of paper atop the wood, much as a plastic slipcover protects the fabric on a cherished family couch. I am an admirer of Waters, although I haven't met her, and I admit to being surprised by the extent of the rebellion against her principles. I did not see her in the restaurant, but then I've never seen her in the restaurant, and I've eaten there at least a half-dozen times. I frequently remind myself that she is really not a chef. She is, like Julia Child, a cook.
I had the housemade rigatoni with Becker Lane Farm pork ragù, which was watery, seemingly unfinished. A rustic presentation of wood-roasted sardines with chickpeas, tasty enough, could have been prepared in a cooking classroom. Still, offered that day were two items of enormous significance to the career of Waters and to the evolution of California cuisine. The first was a salad of baby lettuces and baked goat cheese, possibly the most influential dish in the history of American restaurants. Goat cheese, back in 1981, would routinely have been sourced from Europe, but Waters chose a local cheesemaker, Laura Chenel, and the previously insignificant American artisanal-cheese industry achieved credibility. The tiny greens next to the cheese changed forever what diners expect from a satisfactory salad and made seeking out perfect lettuces an obligation.
The second dish was plain fresh fruit in a bowl, which on this day happened to be strawberries untouched by cream or sugar or the hand of a French pastry chef who might be tempted to envelop them in a buttery crust. Two tastier symbols of the oppression of San Francisco chefs would be difficult to find. Waters fashioned her monumental salad at a time when the California-cuisine movement was barely under way, and her fresh-fruit-as-dessert concept was a more recent attempt to teach children to love nonsugary treats.
The salad these days is made with Andante Dairy goat cheese. That the cheese is no longer from Laura Chenel is entirely the fault of Laura, who five years ago sold her company to a bigger company, certain to remove her from the steely good graces of Waters. The cheese was creamy, warm, and soft, and topped with toasted pain de mie crumbs. The mixed lettuces were photographable. The Swanton Berry Farm strawberries were red throughout and drippingly juicy, the kind rarely seen anymore, not where I shop. I could imagine kids forgoing their Twinkies for these, at least for an afternoon.
It's difficult for me to conceive of a thoughtful diner, let alone an accomplished cook, disapproving of the warm cheese or the cool strawberries—or of Waters, for that matter. I give her credit not only for discovering vegetables but also for helping liberate America from its dependence on the French-restaurant tradition. But I suppose I'm not in a position to understand how deeply subjugated local chefs must have felt, how stifling the dictates of the Chez Panisse kitchen must have become. In fact, California cuisine really didn't flower, and in the past few decades, as American food became increasingly freewheeling, cooks in Northern California must have felt confined. A perfect vegetable on a plate has an abundance of integrity, but it doesn't offer much passion or emotion. I suppose you could think of the new countercultural movement as an American version of la movida, with Waters playing the role of Francisco Franco.

Can A Twitter Romance Lead To Real-Life Love?
Famous Twitter romances like @MegFowler and @GradonTripp's are the exception, not the rule. But I refused to see it. Twitter Love Lessons
We started having cyber sex. I still can't get over how intense it was with my MacBook balanced on my stomach, typing erotica one-handed. We did it again two days later. On February 28 we spent the entire day on chat. Neither of us even showered. I got up to walk my dog and use the bathroom, and that was it. Most sex doesn't end with someone curled around a laptop. The more we talked, the lonelier we became. On March 1, he typed, "I wish you were here. #thedanceofhavingsaidsomethingathousandtimes."
Stop Calling, Stop Calling, I Don't Want To Think Anymore
Over internet chat, it's easy to blow off things you don't want to see. He kept bringing up fear, nerves, the damage done to him by his previous relationship, how he withdraws before things with girls get too serious. In real life, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to ignore these things—but this wasn't real life.
On March 6 I called, wanting to hear his voice. We'd spoken before, but most of our phone calls happened while one of us was intoxicated; and while our daily chats would go on for hours and hours, our phone conversations lasted for less than five minutes. Patrick didn't answer, and responded via chat. I was growing to resent this. He wrote that he had started to worry about whether he could do a real relationship. He said he just wanted some time to think.
We didn't speak for a few days, until he replied to a tweet I wrote about being sad. We both felt heartbroken. We had been sprinting in a marathon and had run out of energy. We got into our first and only fight. I called a few times. He didn't answer.
The innocence and the intensity had left us, along with the lonely longing for one another. Cyber sex and projected fantasies would have never fixed that. All the wishing in the world would never allow me to climb through my computer screen and fall out the other side.
A New Beginning
For a few weeks, we acted as friends, encouraging each other to date. We also encouraged each other not to tweet about it.

I have highblood pressure and I am being treated, Can I run a marathon if I prepare properly?
From time to time I get heart palpitations which are uncomfortable and very annoying. I am 48 years old and I because my periods have become a bit erratic I pretty sure I'm menopausal and initially put the palpitations down to that. However I do notice a bit of a pattern and that is after a stressful situation and/or very busy time I get them but not until after the event. I had a breast lump removed 4 weeks ago after finding it and having it diagnosed as a benign tumour called a Hamatoma, so all is good but for the last 3 plus weeks I have been having these palpitations and they have lasted longer then before. I feel I'm my worst own enemy as the more I seem to be aware of them the more I stress about them and so the more I get them! I would love to know how to be shot of them so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have an under active thyroid for several years and I take 75 mg a day take Vit C, Co-Q-10, Black Cohosh and evening primrose oil each day.
Hi, I think I may have a fatty liver but not sure.
I had my gall bladder removed in 1995 and have suffered from a pain in my right upper side just under my rib cage ever since. It is particularly bad in the mornings, I feel very ill every morning until I get out of bed and start to move around. I have quie a healthy diet although I do not eat a lot of meat I tend to subsitute this with cheese which I know is not a good thing and try to limit it. Also, Ihave been a bit of a wine drinker ( a drink every night with my mealmaybe 2-3 glasses)but I haven't had a drink for 3 weeks now and do feel a lot better so I will not be going back to that. A year after having my gall bladder removed I asked my doctor for a scan on my GB as the pain felt like a burning inflamed pain and I thought I had an infection but he said it was OK so Ihave never dared to go back and ask about my liver. I have been taking milk thistle for 2 months which is making me feel better. I know if I do have 1 glass of wine I will feel OK but anymore and I feel very ill in the mornings, a feeling of being hung over even after 2 glasses, I don't think my liver can digest it. Any help or suggestions would be very helpful.I am 50 years old and I do some exercise 4-5 times a week but my stomach is very large (which I hate)Many thanks.
Two years ago i gave up smoking (forty a day ) and within a month of that started my menapause. Now at fifty two my psoriasis has got progressivly worse, from small patches on elbows to covering forty per cent of my body and scalp. By far the worst is my weight has escalated,I amnow four stone heavier (which was half my bodyweight) and this has put a strain on my joints.after asking my doctor for help he put me on antidepressants. I have an underactive thyroid gland and take medication daily for it .Ifeel as though i am dropping to bits and dont know where to go for help. My confidence is nil ,you dont look good when your 5ft 2in twelve stone scabby fatty. Any advice or help please

- His Tumblr also said the most romantic thing he had ever done was let his girlfriend play Phoenix Wright on his DS because her charger was broken.
- It has been proved many times that the master wizard Rythian in Tekkit/Yogscast series has fallen in love with his apprentice Zoeya. However, Zoey and Joakim are not dating IRL.

1986 60 Minutes charged the Audi 5000 with unintended acceleration. Sales of the brand plunged by 83-percent. A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report exonerated Audi, blaming driver pedal confusion. Nonetheless, Audi conducted five recall campaigns related to the issue.
1987 Rally impresario Walter Rohrl won the Pikes Peak Hillclimb driving a 598-hp Audi Sport quattro. Later, Audi exploits 4wd to dominate TransAm road racing.
1989 Audi revealed a hybrid concept call Avant Duo with an internal combustion engine in front and electric motor propulsion in back. A few A4s with the system were manufactured and sold beginning in 1997.
1990 A turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine, called TDI by Audi, was introduced for European 100 models.

The R8, powered by a gasoline-fueled V-8, won five races between 2000 and 2005 with the 2004 victory achieved by a Bentley Speed 8 sharing the same technology. Shifting to the turbocharged-diesel R10 in 2006, Audi motorsports added three more overall LeMans victories to its record of achievements.
2009 Though Audi sales are still depressed like other luxury brands, its share of the US premium market grew in July to 7.6-percent.

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there? Richard Bach Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't. Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. True love stories never have endings. Simon And Garfunkel Old friends, old friends sat on their parkbench like bookends Old friends, winter companions, the old men Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a parkbench quietly Old friends, memory brushes the same years, silently sharing the same fears Time it was and what a time it was, it was |
Here is a link that might be useful: Simon and Garfunkel-Old Friends, Bookends Theme -full version.
Follow-Up Postings:
Quote #2 brings to mind--for me, anyway--a variation on what Richard Bach said: my thought is, "If you woke up this morning, God has something for you to do, today". I try to remember that when I groan as I roll out of bed. Re: the Simon-Garfunkel line: "How terribly strange to be 70", -- how much terribly stranger is it to be 81?! But, since I awoke, this morning, God has something for me to do, today. |

A stock market delivered from the brink of depression to record highs in four quick years can be a bundle of insecurities. What happens if the central bank stops cosseting us, and how will it pare back its trove of Treasuries as rates rise? Lately, however, such perennial questions are pushed aside by more pressing concerns.
Last week's 1% pullback has revived fears—altogether now—that the Federal Reserve's monetary medicine is losing its oomph. The Fed's still printing gobs of money, but U.S. manufacturing and services are expanding at a slower rate, and new jobs are being created at the sleepiest pace since June. The horrors!
That wasn't our only worry. Stocks peaked in April in each of the past three years before correcting 10% to 19%, so the "sell in May and go away" brigade is already fretting that April is the new May. Yet with stocks up 23% since June, money managers can't afford to fall too far behind surging indexes. Concerns also are mounting that corporate profits aren't growing fast enough. So buyers piled into sectors with more-stable revenues like health care, consumer staples, and utilities, and these have wrested market leadership from the energy and industrial stocks that propelled the rally in January.
Just how crowded have defensive stocks become? The average consumer-staple stock is up over 14% this year, and only two of them— Monster Beverage mnst -3.163037178107146% Monster Beverage Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD116.95 -3.82 -3.163037178107146% /Date(1422655200312-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 991957 AFTER HOURS USD116.5 -0.45 -0.3847798204360838% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 30087 P/E Ratio 44.98076923076923 Market Cap 19605263645.5139 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1192320 More quote details and news » (ticker: MNST), which makes sugary caffeinated energy drinks that Americans now deem a staple, and Whole Foods Market wfm -1.7075471698113207% Whole Foods Market Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD52.095 -0.905 -1.7075471698113207% /Date(1422655200729-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4761868 AFTER HOURS USD52.095 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 132400 P/E Ratio 33.39423076923077 Market Cap 18754721898.2056 Dividend Yield 0.9981764084844995% Rev. per Employee 162775 More quote details and news » (WFM)—are down this year. The sector now fetches 19.5 times what these companies earned over the past year, its fattest valuation since this bull run began.
Then there're fears the global economy isn't up to snuff. Oil and copper are plumbing 2013 lows, and investors are scampering to markets where weak growth has central banks pledging their staunchest support. Japan, relatively new to quantitative easing, has jumped 55% since June, and too many money managers are hailing the U.S. as the best house in a crumbling world order.
Still, stocks haven't had as much as a 4% blip since November, and concerns and corrections keep markets from overheating. Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, thinks the U.S. rally has lately been boosted by the ruckus in Cyprus, which persuaded European investors to steer deposits into U.S. stocks. But he thinks the market is due for a pause before bargain hunters eventually prevail.
Already, the lunge at safety has driven the yield on 10-year Treasuries from 2.06% down to 1.70% in less than a month. BofA Merrill Lynch rates strategist Priya Misra advises selling Treasuries when the yield shrinks below 1.75%, since a strengthening labor, housing, and stock market will help offset fiscal austerity.
In each of the past four years, the first quarter's laggard sectors have outperformed in the second. Of course, that all happened as defensive stocks thrived during the market's spring corrections. Can the same now happen with lagging cyclical stocks? The March jobs report didn't help, but data for January and February were revised upward, and aggregate hours worked rose. The housing market's spring selling season has also been delayed by late-winter storms in the Midwest. Cyclical stocks began doubting before the broad market did, and moderating expectations can only help their cause.
REFINER STOCKS HAVE DOUBLED since June, and those looking to take profits had their pick of reasons. The government wants to cut sulfur content in gasoline by 2017, which could cost refiners hundreds of millions. Gasoline prices track Brent crude oil produced abroad, and the hefty premiums these command to the glut of cheap West Texas Intermediate crude produced here has helped U.S. refiners with access to cheaper raw materials. But as Brent crude slipped recently, the Brent-WTI spread has shrunk from $22 a barrel to $11 over the past month.
Last week's 10% refiner-stock correction can worsen if gas demand weakens. But refiners trade at just 7.9 times projected profits, a discount to historical valuations. "The principal drivers of refining-stock performance over the past two years—accelerated return of cash, monetization of secondary assets, and feedstock cost advantages relative to competing global refiners—remain in place," notes Cowen analyst Sam Margolin.
Historically, stricter environmental standards can reduce the supply of refined products and widen the profit spread between raw materials and finished products. Goldman Sachs analyst Arjun Murti thinks prices of midcontinent refiners—his picks include HollyFrontier hfc 2.5406794176420213% HollyFrontier Corp.

Detroit's bankruptcy judge Steven Rhodes and city creditors went on a nearly 60-mile bus tour around the city on Friday. WDET's Sandra Svoboda and Todd Scott, with the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance, went on that same tour Saturday -- but on bike.
Svoboda and Scott speak with Laura about their bike ride and what they saw.
"I feel the judge saw a pretty accurate view of the city in terms of the positive and the negatives and how it rapidly changes between both of them," said Scott.
This tour wasn't supposed to be a leisurely stroll through Detroit. The point was to give Rhodes some context for what he will hear during the city's bankruptcy trial on the Plan of Adjustment, which restructures the debt and the city services. The attorneys had asked him to go along and really get some kind of idea of what's out in the city.
"I think the focus of the judge seemed to be on residential and we saw some extremes in that regard," Svoboda said. "We saw some beautiful houses, well-maintained in Palmer Woods. We saw some middle class neighborhoods that seemed to be occupied. But we also saw some really blighted areas that were probably more extreme than the norm in the city where there's one house missing or a couple burned out. Some of those blocks were really, really vacated I'm sure that made an impression for the judge."
In the map below, you can see exactly where the #BIKEruptcy tour went and the images and videos they took along the route.
Find more coverage of Detroit's bankruptcy and its impact on people and neighborhoods on WDET's Next Chapter Detroit blog.

Updated: Ridley Scott Proves He's a Replican and Not a Replicant With New 'Blade Runner'
In Development By Scott Beggs on August 18, 2011 | Comments (6)Updated: First Alien, now Blade Runner. Deadline NeoTokyo is reporting that Ridley Scott has signed on to direct and produce a new Blade Runner film, although it remains unclear whether it will be a remake, a sequel, a prequel, or a wacky romantic comedy that happens to have the same name as is being called a "follow-up" to his sci-fi stunner. With so little information, except the big bombshell, speculation is easy to come by, but there are certainly a host of pros and cons here. The cons are the usual obvious complaints, and as for the pros, the clearest one is that it's another opportunity for Scott to head back into that world that's so loved. In a smaller way, it's also a chance (like with Total Recall) to do a clearer, more direct take on Phillip K. Dick's work (even though that probably won't happen). Here's the full press release from Alcon Entertainment, and even more speculation:

West Coast or Pacific Coast are terms for the westernmost coastal states of the United States. The term most often refers to the states of California, Oregon, and Washington. More specifically, the term refers to an area defined on the east by the Cascade Range, Sierra Nevada and Mojave Desert and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. Although not part of the contiguous United States, Alaska and Hawaii do border the Pacific Ocean and can also be included in the West Coast. The U.S. Census groups the five states of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii together as the Pacific States division.[1]

As of the 2010 Census, the estimated population of the Census Bureau's Pacific Region was approximately 47.8 million (56.9 million if Nevada and Arizona are included) - about 15.3% (18.2% with Nevada and Arizona) of US population. [2]
Major cities and metropolitan areas on the West Coast include (from north to south):
The history of the West Coast begins with the arrival of the earliest known humans of the Americas, Paleo-Indians, crossing the Bering Strait from Eurasia into North America over a land bridge, Beringia, that existed between 45,000 BC and 12,000 BC (47,000–14,000 years ago). Small isolated groups of hunter-gatherers migrated alongside herds of large herbivores far into Alaska. Between 16,500 BC and 13,500 BC (18,500–15,500 years ago), ice-free corridors developed along the Pacific coast and valleys of North America and possibly by sea.[3]
Alaska Natives, indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, and California indigenous peoples eventually descended from the Paleo-Indians. They developed various languages and established trade routes.
Later, Spanish, British, Mexican, Russian and American explorers and settlers began colonizing the area.

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !
