Each year for over a decade now, we have embarked on a dyspepsia-inducing quest in search of the finest flapjacks in town. S & S Diner won the first annual Flip-Off in 2001 and was duly handed the prestigious Mrs. Beeton Trophy (Mrs. B. being our patron saint for her prescient in-print assertion 102 years ago that pancakes "must be regarded as somewhat beyond the capabilities of average digestive organs"). Victors since have been the Biltmore Hotel, Deli Lane Café, Miramar Diner, the Rascal House Deli, Green Street Café, Bagels & Company, the Original Pancake House, Eos at the Viceroy, and Sky Grille in the Bank of America Tower.
Let skeptics who scoff about the meaninglessness of a Mrs. Beeton award note that in the context of an exceedingly challenging restaurant business, all but one of our former Flip-Off winners is still profitably flipping cakes.
The game remains the same: Appraisals are heavily skewed toward flavor, fluffiness, and value. Quality of butter, maple syrup, coffee, and service likewise come into play, as can background music, style of flatware, cleanliness of rest rooms, and whether or not my lower back pain is acting up. Even in this high-tech world, judging pancakes remains an inexact science.

This year's eight unwitting contestants are Jerry's Famous Deli, Tudor House Restaurant in the Dream Hotel, Jackson Soul Food, First & First Southern Baking Company, Sweet Point Bakery & Cafe, City Hall Restaurant, Michael's Genuine Food & Drink, and Old Fort Lauderdale Breakfast House.
Without further adieu, our sponsor Log Cabin (motto: "The syrup, not those crazy gay Republicans!") is proud to present the Official Mrs. Beeton 11th Annual Flapjack Flip-Off:
The Last & Last Award goes to First & First Southern Baking Company. Our cornmeal-blueberry pancakes arrived as a pair of seemingly regular white flour pancakes with blueberries. Our waitress took them back to the kitchen to be prepped with cornmeal (I later noticed the menu description saying "with a hint of corn meal," but I didn't see or taste that hint). The resultant duo of corn-based jacks was dry, mealy, and crumbly. Worse, one of the two was blackened on top. Points were accrued for friendly service, a potent cup of joe, and authentic-tasting maple syrup. Ironically, we tasted the regular pancakes before they were swapped for the all-cornmeal version and found them to be very soft and fluffy. Barriers to the Beeton, however, were raw interiors and the difficulty of ordering them a la carte: The pancakes come only as part of a lumberjack breakfast along with two eggs, fried potatoes, bacon, sausage, and a fruit cup for $9.45. You can get the pancakes alone... but they will still cost you $9.45! Cornmeal-blueberry cakes, with two strips of bacon: $7.25. Coffee: $2.15. Total: $9.40.
The Pancakes Without Soul Award is presented to Jackson Soul Food for its no frills/no thrills presentation: Three pale, fluffy, flavorless flapjacks on a white plate. Artificial maple syrup and foil packets of some butter-tasting spread were served on the side. Staff hospitality and being served a thermos of piping hot coffee made breakfast a pleasant experience, but these griddlecakes were not great. Pancakes: $3.95. Coffee: $2. Total: $5.95.
Winner of The Not Famous for Its Pancakes Award is Jerry's Famous Deli. Our efficient if no-nonsense waitress brought a short stack (2) that wasn't steamy hot, but warm enough to absorb butter from tin packets. These pancakes possessed so uniform a medium brown color that they almost looked spray-painted. While thicker than most others, they were not especially puffy. All in all, it's a solid rendition, but certainly not Beeton worthy. Alongside: maple-flavored syrup and hot, decent coffee. Pancakes: $7.95. Coffee: $2.95. Total: $10.90.
Sweet Point Bakery & Cafe takes The Sweet And Pointedly Thin Award. A surprisingly strong showing for this quirky Midtown Miami café: Three skinny, flaky, steamy hot pancakes were sprinkled with powdered sugar and imbued with a sweetly alluring taste. On the other hand, like the rest of this year's competitors, they lacked the lushness of great pancakes; baking powder has apparently fallen from favor. Two crisp strips of bacon are served alongside, as are foil packets of butter and a carafe of artificial maple syrup (also available with berries blended in). Service came with a smile; the strong, hot Colonial-brand coffee came with little plastic containers of half & half. Pancakes: $7.50. Coffee: $2.50. Total: $10.
The Genuinely Cold Award goes to Michael's Genuine Food & Drink: The "baked 9-grain" entry, shaped more like puck than pancake, was moist, flavorful, and bursting with the mild crunch of grains and seeds. Organic maple syrup was peerless, as was fresh creamery butter — except the butter wouldn't melt because the pancake was downright chilly and served on an equally chilled plate. It arrived just a couple of minutes after we ordered it, which led to speculation that it had been a "mistake" from another table that was returned to the kitchen. In any event, this gratifying dome of cooked grains is just too un-pancake-like to be a Flip-Off champion. Coffee, on the other hand, was the best brew we encountered: Lobster Butter Love, an ultra-smooth espresso blend from RoosRoast Organic Free Speech Coffee. This breakfast is available only during Sunday brunch. Pancake: $7. Coffee: $3. Total: $10.
Old Fort Lauderdale Breakfast House. You're joking. I think they use Uniqueso corn "griddles". You buy them at Walmart. How do they plan to sneak them in as their own. Having said that, it's a pancake. How hard is that. Lol
so... the "Broward Palm Beach" version of the New Times reviews six pancake joints in Miami and...one in Fort Lauderdale. What am I missing here???
Yep, we took a foray largely down south for this one, Cotter1963, but you'll find almost all of our food reviews are based up here. But I'd say it's OK to venture down to Dade occasionally, even though I'd argue our dining scene is better these days.

Coventry Charity Cup To Have A Premier Final
Ricoh Arena Cup Final sponsors announced The Coventry Charity Football Cup are proud to announce that The Premier Group have agreed to sponsor the Charity Cup Final which is held annually at Coventry City FC's Ricoh Arena home. This new sponsorship is on top of The Premier Group's sponsorship of the Charity's Annual Sportsman's Evening and Autumn Ball, which they have supported very generously for the past few years. The news was announced last Friday at the Charity Cup's 6th Annual Autumn Ball which raised in excess of £3,000 for local charities.
Charity Cup Chairman Richard Aston said "we are indebted to The Premier Group, especially Managing Director Denis Meagher and John Campton, for their loyalty and support of the competition. The people who will benefit are the charities that we support, several of which were at the Ball on Friday. We wish The Premier Group all of our best wishes in the making of the Olympic Torch". This excellent news for the Charity Cup follows a couple of difficult and sad weeks in which the deaths of long-serving committee man Les Williams, 90, a member of the Charity Cup Committee for over 50 years, and ex-Chairman Jimmy James, 91, were announced.

(previously)sweet 1 yr old neice/major tantrums/HELP!
i care for my 12 month old neice full time (my kids are grown and gone)and love her to bits. she's bright and has been a cheerful, cooperative soul but has recently taken to having a major tantrum if i don't pick her up on demand. she plays on her own very well and i read to her and play with her quite often during the day. in the past, if she asked 'up' and i didn't comply, she used to fuss a bit, but was redirectable almost all of the time.now, she will scream at the top of her lungs and carry on for-EVER (over 30 min)until she is shaking and drenched in perspiration. at that point, she shakes and continues to cry uncontrollably even after being picked up.I won't list all of the strategies i've tried, but will say that i am firm in not giving in but have my limits. help, please.
Fit throwing is normal for that age. We used to walk off when one of my sons would throw his fit. He'd get mad and then come over to where we were to try it again. It didn't take long for him to learn we weren't giving in. We have also videotaped tantrums. The kids cannot stand watching those tapes.
When it happens could she be hungry or something? I know how grumpy *I* get when I'm hungry LOL
Just an idea. When DD was little, if there was something going on that we needed to nip in the bud, I would concentrate on only that behavior I wanted to change, and let other minor offenses slide until the problem behavior was gone.
i.e. if she was going thru a 'tantrum' phase or 'talking back' phase, that behavior would result in her favorite toy at the time being put up in the closet for the day.
But other little things like dinnertime behavior I would let slide and focus only on the one thing. At that age, 12-24 months, they can't understand too much feedback about too many behaviors.
And usually, the behavior in question was better with only a week of focus on it.
Good for you for not giving in! Even at 12 months they can learn to manipulate if you start to give in.
I always used the walk away method. In 20+ yrs as a pre school teacher I found that worked best. For older kids I would tell them if you are going to do that, do it in the bathroom or other room we aren't going to hear it. Sometimes they got picked up and moved into another area. It usually didn't take long for it to get through that that did not work. I had one little girl walk up to me after a real fit and say "Can't you see I'm crying I want that, what ever, now!" I watched her one day in a public place do this with her mom and she got what ever she wanted by screaming. The other teachers and I had a heck of a time that year! I felt bad for the girl as she got older in kindergarten she was going to have a really hard time by that time the other kids would not put up with her much. At 12 months a fit is normal as a child is begining to learn the world really is not made just for them. To do as they bid. They are learning what works best to get what they want and need. Just remind yourself she is a strong girl (at least lungs) and the world needs more strong females in it!
My nearly one year old does the same- she will scream if she wants me to pick her up- so I pick her up and let her know she is loved.
She is way too young to be manipulative. She is merely expressing her needs in the only way she knows how. In my opinion, ignoring her would be teaching her that her cries don't matter and I'm not willing to do this.
Eventually, I know she will be very secure. The very last thing I'm worried about is spoiling her. A child cannot get too much love.
Good luck to you and remember that she will grow out of this stage soon enough. Try to remain open and give her as much love and respect as you are able (treat her as *you* would want to be treated if you were upset).
For a two or three year old's tantrum I agree with craftybrat. However for a one year old, I VERY STRONGLY agree with sahm. Also, it depends somewhat on the child and the situation. If she is shaking and drenched with perspiration it doesn't sound like manipulation, her feelings are very real.
Once you have ruled out hunger, tired, thirst, or soiled and know that it is a tantrum, follow the advice to walk away. You can either address this behavior in a one year old body or a 4,5,6 year old body, but as long as the behavior is rewarded by attention it will continue.
A tantrum in a one year old and one in a 2 year old are very different things....
The one year old needs something....but of tem by the time a child is 2 they learn to be manupilitave....
Pick her up and love her.....and if you are really busy, put her doen.
Linda C
I agree with both sides of this (1 vs. 2 year old tantrums) because sometimes they just DEMAND you hold them, even if you are busy etc. But being one year old IS different than being two. Do you pick her up regularily without her asking? What do her parents do? She could be feeling sad about something and not be quite able to verbalize it yet. Then again I have seen the other side of this. I have a friend with an almost 3 year old who is so demanding about being picked up that it borders on ridiculous. He refuses to hold her hand, walk by himself, if he wants to be picked up he just refuses and hangs on her legs. We were at a farm picking berries with our children and he freaked. My friend was 9 months pregnant at the time lugging a 35 pound kid up a hill, meanwhile my 3 year old asked- "What is his problem?" I think there is a very fine line between disipline and security, you want your children to behave, but you also want them to feel secure and loved. Tough call, at one year old, I would probably pick her up briefly, meet her needs, and then continue with whatever I was doing, if she keeps insisting, tell you will pick her up when you are done with dishes/clean up whatever. Then spend some quality time holding or sitting on the couch together.
Liz has some good advice.

I would just like to add that we acknowledge our one-year old son's attempt at communication - without a doubt he is communicating in the only way he knows how. We tell him 'you are alright' (pick a phrase and stick with it), and then walk away. This at least lets him know we hear him, but we are determining the needs of the current situation.
Just don't let anyone tell you one-year olds are not capable of manipulation. (He suddenly becomes incapable of walking when he has to wear mittens, and you should see how his behavior changes at his Grammy and Grandad's house - where every squeak gets a response.)Every child develops differnetly, so my son may not be a perfect example. But one year olds are perfectly capable of manipulating environments and people. Many can; mine can.
Best of luck. Eppa.

Code enforcement cracks down on renegade signs
Melissa Crowe
May 1, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
The ordinance
Chapter 5, Article 8, Section 5
• No sign, sign structure, or sign support shall be placed upon or project over any public property or right-of-way.
• Prohibited: Sandwich or A-frame signs, sidewalk or curb signs, signs upon trees, rocks, bridges or utility poles, or signs utilizing such objects for all or part of their support.
Source: Victoria City Code
Code enforcement officers, not sign-stealing bandits, are the culprits behind a rash of missing yard sale and service advertisements across Victoria.
Although the city is enforcing what it has on the books, the change in priorities is leaving many garage sale hosts frustrated.
Jessica Amador heard about the city pulling up yard sale signs weeks before her garage sale, but didn't expect to get caught up in the mix when she put her sign out Saturday morning.
Amador, 31, hoped to send Navarro traffic to her garage sale at the end of the cul-de-sac on Jocelyn Circle.
"I came back an hour later and it was gone," Amador said laughing.
Development Services Director Jared Mayfield said the 2004 ordinance has not changed, but last November, it started being enforced.
"We started picking them up because a lot were being left out," Mayfield said. "You could drive Monday morning and see garage sale signs from the weekend before."
With the city permitting 40 garage sales last weekend and 28 so far for this weekend, enforcing the ordinance is impacting people across the city.
The officers rotate Saturday shifts with the work part of their regular work schedule, he said.
He said the code enforcement officers are not discriminating against garage sales, and removing those specific signs is not the priority. They fall under the "bandit sign" category, which includes advertisements for services such as roof repair, lower utility bills or buying gold.
"We're just picking up everything that's in the right of way," Mayfield said.
Elvia Figueroa, a Victoria resident, said the city "is punishing everyone."
By picking up garage sale signs the morning of the sale, the city is financially hurting its residents, she said.
"It's hard to make ends meet," she said. "I depend on that money twice a year."
After purchasing a $10 permit from city hall, Figueroa expected to bring in about $1,000 on her weekend sale.
She usually puts out signs on Sam Houston Drive, Laurent Street and Mockingbird Lane, but this time, followed the city's rules. As a result, she said she felt the consequences.
"I only made half," she said. "I lost out on a lot of customers."
The permit specifies that no signs, sign structures or sign supports may be placed on utility poles or in the public right of way, including sidewalks or intersections or public trees, rocks, bridges or other public property.
"Why are they focusing on this?" she asked. "There are a lot more important things to focus on."
Mayfield said the city could make its sign rounds Mondays.
"What we noticed with the other signs is they were showing up on Friday night and Saturday," Mayfield said. "It's like people were putting them out in anticipation of shopping weekends, so that's why we started picking them up."
Slower traffic along Victoria's major thoroughfares Saturday mornings also created a safer environment to remove the signs, he said.
"There's been a more concentrated effort on Saturday to pick up signs in general, but they're removing them all the time," he said.
Mayfield did not call the signs "litter" but said they make the city untidy.
"In the age of Facebook and Craigslist, our website and the Advocate's website, using new technology may be an option for folks to consider," Mayfield said.

Web development experiments
Posted on 2014/10/17
So, I wanted to experiment with Mono, Entity Framework, JSON, HTML5, TypeScript and AngularJS. It is still bit open what my site will actually do once finished, but my idea here is create template that allows rapid development of 'forms' based applications. I also plan on doing some offline app with PhoneGap. Stay tuned for more. :-)
You can find project at Google code: https://code.google.com/p/mobile-invoicing/
Posted on 2014/08/24
I ended up hosting this site at DigitalOcean. They offer Linux virtual machine hosting starting at $5/month. That is quite nice considering that GoDaddy charges me $8.99 on premium hosting (multible domains).
I like having virtual machine instead regular hosting as it gives more possibilities for configuration and development. I have one C#/Mono/Entity framework/MySQL project in mind that will be installed to this server…

Site ported to WordPress
Posted on 2013/05/21
So, this site moved again. This time one relative of mine set up couple of web servers and I did some configuration on them. I don't know was that payment or good will, but he let me put this site to those servers. So I am free riding now. :-) I tried to pull Typo3 to new servers but it got complicated when I should have upgraded and moved site at the same time. Also I had some trouble with typo3 previously so, decided to do some extra work and convert all to WordPress. So here we are. If you can read this conversion was success.
I have plans to upgrade layout to something better, but lets see about that one. Year go by so quickly…

I am a HAM now..
Posted on 2009/01/28
Well papers arriver and my call is OH1FNJ. Started project of building my own radio. I plan to use USRP for receiving and sending, but USRP output power is 0,4mW so linear amplifier is needed. That I plan to build myself. Kind of interesting to see how this building project goes. I always hated coils and RF stuff because they are so 'unpredictable'. For that I mean, long wire acts as a coil, two parallel wires as capasitor, ground is not really a ground if not done propertly. If you add one transistor to this, you will damn sure get oscillator, wanted it or not. Oh well, maybe this is why I get my license. Life is boring if you don't have challenges, and change to learn something new!-)

Toon In Advanced Talks With Remy!
Newcastle are in advanced talks with Marseille over a deal for striker Loic Remy.
Alan Pardew is in the market for another striker after confirming Demba Ba is on the verge of signing for Chelsea ... and Remy is his top target.
Pardew has already announced that Papiss Cisse will step forward and replace Ba as the club's leading marksman, but Newcastle want another versatile hitman to act as cover and competition.
Remy is likely to cost upwards of £10million but has a proven goalscoring record in Ligue 1 – having bagged 39 goals in 95 appearances for the likes of Lyon, Lens, Nice and now Marseille.
Chelsea and QPR have both previously been linked with Remy, but neither have made their interest official.

The first round of the South African National Enduro championship took place this past weekend in the Baynesfield area in KwaZulu-Natal. A hot and sunny day awaited riders and spectators alike and many new manufacturers on the start line made for an interesting day's racing.
Competitors had to complete the 42 km lap four times and were given a regularity time of 2 hours to complete the first lap, 1h 45min for the second lap, 1h 30min for the third lap and 1h 20min for the final lap. The loop included a 17 km special stage as well as a 5 km special stage that were both timed from lap two and would count towards the final result. As usual any late arrivals would result in penalties and would negatively affect the final result.
The WFO club had again put on a great show and a well organised event had everything in store for the riders: lots of forest, river crossings, some mud holes and rocky hill climbs and a slightly faster loop than the usual 'extreme enduro' style events made for a nice and flowing race.
Besides competing in The Tough One Extreme Enduro in January 2013, where Wade obtained a 12th position overall, and the Regional Harescramble Seeding event on 17 February 2013, which he won overall, this was Wade's first National championship event for 2013 season.
Wade was more than ready to get the season underway on his new Husaberg FE 250 starting on row 2 and competing in the very competitive E2 (200cc) class.
He took some time getting used to his new bike posting a 5th on Special Test 3 and a 4th on Special Test 4. He eventually got into the swing of things and posted a consistent 2nd place on the remainder of the laps except for Special Test 6 where he won. This saw Wade taking the overall as well as E2 class win for the day.
"I was pretty nervous at the start of the race as it was my first National race of the season, I was also on a new bike and the competition this year is tough. I battled in the 1st couple of laps and crashed just after the start of the first special stage but eventually got into a comfortable rhythm. I enjoyed the track and it's always good to ride at "home", some of the track I found a bit dangerous as there was a lot of long grass".

Nine years after purchasing the land, the owners pitched one last development idea: a parking lot. The Department of Off-Street Parking rejected the plan, leaving the owners frustrated and willing to sell.
Michael Goldstein is a fitness nut. That fact, more than his lifetime spent in Coconut Grove, has made him an environmentalist. "I run a lot, usually on the same path through the Grove," says the 28-year-old Ransom Everglades High School alumnus. "Over the years, I noticed a significant change in the community. A lot of development, a lot of concrete. Every time a tree would come down, literally it was like they took a rib from my chest. I don't know why, but it gave me such anger and sadness, and a level of frustration and hopelessness."
Earning a law degree from the University of Miami, he found hope. He joined (and soon became president of) the zealous zoning activists collectively known as the Coconut Grove Civic Club. He fought against the development of Virginia Key. Now he is concentrating on Commodore Bay. "This is the kind of stuff that is important to me," Goldstein says. "I am an inveterate, unabashed, unrepentant tree hugger. This is what's important to me. This is how I spend my time."
Goldstein knew the Commodore Bay owners from his frequent battles against the development. As their proposals were shot down one after the other, he saw in their frustration an opportunity to save the property. They weren't doing anything with the land, so why not sell it to someone who would preserve the trees and the open space? Why not sell it to the city so it could become a park?
On a November day in 1994, the idealistic lawyer met Kenneth Treister for lunch at Greenstreet Cafe, across Main Highway from the disputed property. Goldstein asked Treister if he would be amenable to the idea of a park on his property. Treister said he was. Goldstein asked Treister if he would be willing to sell the property to the public to achieve that end. Treister said he was. Granted a third yes after asking whether the owners would reimburse him for the costs of searching out a buyer (although not pay him anything more for his services), Goldstein set out to make it happen.
"Michael Goldstein cares about the community and he is active in the community," says Treister's partner Howard Scharlin. "He's a bright young man. He is not our attorney, but from our point of view, his personal desires for this property are not inconsistent with what would be a good deal for us."
Flying off to Tallahassee on the owners' nickel, Goldstein lobbied bureaucrats in several state agencies. The land, he argued, was too valuable and time was too short to let its purchase be anything other than a priority. On June 27, 1995, Goldstein secured a commitment from the state for half the cost of the purchase, plus a loan to the city on very favorable repayment terms.
Goldstein knew of a Metro-Dade fund dedicated to the purchase of park land, so he also made a pitch to the county officials who oversee the fund. "As concrete replaces canopy," he wrote in a persuasive letter to the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program, "the name itself, 'Coconut Grove,' may very well become a bittersweet and ironic reminder of what this village once was." Sure enough, county officials were in for ten percent of the property's cost.
All this Goldstein presented to city commissioners last July. He even mentioned the approximately $500,000 that sits in the Bayside Agreement trust fund, the money J.L. Plummer had promised for Commodore Bay.
And as the commissioners thanked Goldstein for his efforts and slapped him on the back, the first fateful letters were already being typed.
"The day after Michael Goldstein's presentation, Kenneth Treister sent a letter to the city saying the deal was off," says Joseph Fleming, one of three outside counsel representing the city in the Commodore Bay matter. "I told him, 'Michael, I think you are being played for this one, just like Linda Dann was.'" (Fleming was referring to an earlier effort by Dann, one of the parents at St. Stephen's church, to gather state money to purchase the property. "I worked my butt off for several years to get them to sell, then at the last minute they changed their minds," Dann says today, her words laced with bitterness. "Then they just jerked the rug out from under us. They filed a whole bunch of lawsuits, including one in which they accused me of collaborating with Monty Trainer. I don't even know Monty Trainer.")
The owners' attorney, renowned land-use lawyer Toby Prince Brigham, dashed off a letter as well. "The willingness of the city to resolve the matter is a never-ending illusion," Brigham wrote in a July 25 missive to another of the city's trio of attorneys, Gary Held. "It seems to me your suggestions for further negotiation are a snare and a delusion. We can see no reason to continue further negotiations with the city. We deem them concluded."
Held snapped back in a letter dated August 4. "You claim illusion, snare, and delusion on the part of the city, but those same words could describe how my clients feel about yours following the years of litigation and your letter to me."

stuck-pot rice with lentils and yogurt
I once read that if you ask a guy what his favorite item of clothing is, he would pick the oldest thing he owns — some t-shirt he's had since high school or nearly threadbare sweats. And if you ask a woman, she usually picks the last thing she bought. [Nobody mentioned four year-olds but obviously: fireman hat.] Gender stereotyping copy aside,* when it comes to recipes, this has me down to a T: my favorite thing to cook is usually the last thing I made. Because of this, I fail 100% of the time at "content-planning strategies" [or as it sounds in my head when I read phrases like this: blargle-blargle blargle] because while I'm supposed to be telling you about this great dish I made last week for Valentine's, I only want to talk about what I made for dinner on Tuesday night. Because it's my new favorite everything.
When I first read about stuck-pot rice many years ago, I guffawed a bit, because who needs a recipe for that? I come from a long line of cooks that cannot make rice without burning it; any night where rice is on the stove ends with a gunked-up pot soaking overnight in the sink. It's tradition; one day I will teach this guy too!

Picture perfect Delhi: personalised art tours
PUBLISHED: 01 Nov 2013 08:51:10 | UPDATED: 17 Jan 2014 17:16:22PUBLISHED: 01 Nov 2013 PRINT EDITION: 01 Nov 2013A. Ramachandran, painter, sculptor, graphic artist and designer, at this studio in New Delhi.
Fiona Carruthers
Banyan Tours' Jamshyd Sethna is an avid art collector and has more than 75 pieces. "People need art, beauty and nature in their lives," he says simply. Sethna specialises in contemporary Indian art. Along with his dealer, Tunty Chauhan, ST hit some of Delhi's best galleries. Banyan can tailor any art tour to suit your tastes.
First floor, Lado Sarai, Delhi. Specialises in folk art. We saw incredible Kalighat paintings, exquisite Patachitra art from the villages of India, and oleographs of works by Raja Ravi Varma.
Also located on the first floor, Lado Sarai is a gorgeous space which promotes Indian contemporary art along with traditional and folk art.
Located in the Defence Colony, we saw stunning ink on paper drawings by A. Ramachandran; other standouts were works by Anjolie Ela Menon and Paramjit Singh.
Founded by Renu Modi, Espace represents such leading lights as Delhi artist Nilima Sheikh and the New York-based Zarina Hashmi. We also enjoyed inspiring oil canvases by Mekhla Behl – a contemporary Delhi artist (who featured in a recent list of 100 Up and Coming Artists Around the World) – and works by the incredible Rajasthan-born Chintan Upadhyay, whose art critiques the exploitation of children.
The perfect way to finish off any gallery hop is lunch. We head for Indian Accent in the Manor Hotel, in the lush Friends Colony district, just near Espace. Sethna and Chauhan give me a quick rundown on the contemporary Indian art scene over a long list of tasty treats, including masala wild mushrooms and achaari New Zealand lamb shank. A perfect day in Delhi.

Whether it is lighting, color scheme, or storage space, interior design for your condo unit in the Philippines isn't that much different than designing for a larger space, such as your house. You'll still want to look for that right combination of lighting, pick the color palette that best suits your nature, and find that optimal blend of ingenuity and practicality with your room design, you'll just be doing all of that for a smaller space. Here are some ideas when deciding on the condo interior design of your unit.
Play Around with Lighting and Color
Color can make a room, no matter how big or small. By adding a color and playing around with contrasting shades, you can change the look and feel of your condo. In condominiums, like rooms in a home, natural light can add brightness and a sense of depth to your room. If you have high windows, accentuate the height by adding half-shades to the higher panels, or translucent curtains to give the room the illusion of more space. Artificial lighting can also become an integral part of your interior design. Recessed lighting, for example, can highlight a wall or certain piece of furniture. You can also use light to complement your color scheme. Colors breathe life into a room. Dramatic interior design might call for you to add splashes of color. You could paint a single wall in a room of your condo a bright shade of red, while leaving the others opaque. The red wall could be set-off by recessed lighting or through the placement of a signature piece of furniture. On the other hand, your color palate could interact with the natural lighting, providing your interior design with a soothing sense of place, utilizing cool colors that are easy on the eyes.
Maximize the Floor Design
In a condo, the floor plan is an integral part of your interior design. With limited space, you'll need to maximize your floor plan, blending creativity with functionality. In your condo's kitchen, for example, you might consider buying appliances that can be stacked so you can maximize room for counter space, cooking space, or even dining space. Wall space is a premium in a condo. Use walls for such design elements as flat screen TVs and wall hangings that can double as book cases or shelving, while utilizing the center of your condo for more fluent spaces such as sitting areas. The way your floor plan flows will help augment your lighting and color schemes. Recessed lighting, for example, could shine down on places you could talk to provide lighting while shelving and cabinets built into the wall could hold a small bar or kitchen unit.
Keep Storage Space in Mind
In a condo, storage space is at a premium, and your interior design should reflect that need. Furniture with dual usage is a great way to incorporate storage into your design. Foot stools, for example, could be used as storage units. Stools with hollow interiors and hinged tops are perfect for storing books, magazines, and toys. Shelving can be a design element and a place to store belongings. If you are short on closet space and want to hide any clutter, purchase a floor-length curtain to section off a wall that you could use for storage. For your bedroom, an armoire could be used as an interior design element and a play to store clothes or a television. Storage is a crucial part of any condo's interior design and should be incorporated into any design, no matter the style.

For those of you who could use a break from the of anti-gay rhetoric that has suddenly swept the nation on the heels of the Pat Buchanan crusade, a website has been created to simulate Pat Buchanan's campaign www site.
Even the address would lead you to believe that, being http://www.buchanan96.org/ (the official Buchanan site does not have the 96 in the address).
When you go to the site, you find a patriotic Buchanan draped against a backdrop of swastika wallpaper. The site includes such hypertext links as: "Links to fascist organizations (which Mr. Buchanan opposes). Why Mr. Buchanan is not a fascist? Why God belongs in government?" among others.
On the issues subpage, there is a heading for "gays". When you click on it you get the gay homepage for Southern California Wired.
The person who tipped Oasis off to this site said: "The site is definitely good for a chuckle and worth spreading around so that people will actually visit, thinking it is indeed the website. The humor is actually somewhat subtle and I am sure many people will undoubtedly be fooled. Spread the word."

The front rower was initially signed up as cover for the World Cup period while Matthew Rees was playing in France with Wales, but an injury to fellow hooker Ken Owens meant Hayter stayed on longer than originally intended.
Hayter made 17 appearances in the front row, with his last appearance being against London Wasps in January.
"His original contract was as cover during the World Cup period but due to Ken's injury James (pictured) stayed on a bit longer," said Scarlets Director of Rugby Phil Davies.
"We always new James had an opportunity to work abroad in a different profession which he is looking at post-rugby.
"James showed loyal service in his short time with us. In fact James played on many occasions with an injury which illustrates his loyalty and commitment to the Scarlets."
Several Academy players have also been released. They are hooker Daniel George, winger Alec Jenkins and centres Rhys Williams and Rhys O Williams.
"I would like to thank of the players for their commitment while with the Academy," added Davies. "I wish them all the best in their future careers."

Loading the dishwasher is high on my "don't like to do it" list. That sounds so petty even as I write it because I remember many periods when we washed the dishes by hand and didn't die from it. Before getting an automatic dishwasher, washing/drying the dishes was a routine activity. It had to be done, so we did it. You'd think putting the dirty stuff in the automatic contraption wouldn't be something to irritate me, but it is.
With August just around the corner, that means only one thing — football season is a little more than a month away. With the first game scheduled for Sept. 2, it won't be long now until Friday nights become the busiest night of my week. While I love football and every pulse pounding hit that comes with it, the pressure of trying to maintain fair and balanced coverage is always a huge obstacle.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop breast cancer with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing breast cancer. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Breast cancer is found predominantly in women and is the most common form of cancer in American women. Breast cancer in men is rare.
Although there is great emphasis on risk factors for developing breast cancer, a great many cases occur in people with no known risk factors.
Women who have a family history of breast cancer (mother, sister, or daughter) have a higher risk factor of developing breast cancer. However, a lack of family history does not protect you from developing breast cancer; approximately 90%-95% of women who develop breast cancer have no family history of this disease.
Additionally, having a genetic abnormality increases your risk. This includes the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, as well as others. Rare genetic diseases can also increase risk.
The chance of developing breast cancer increases with age; three out of four cases occur in women over age 50. This occurs in men around age 60. Although breast cancer is more common as you age, breast cancer can occur at any age.
The following medical conditions have been found to increase the risk of developing breast cancer:
Lifestyle factors that increase breast cancer risk include:
In the US, Caucasian, Hawaiian, and African American women have the highest rates of breast cancer. The lowest rates occur among Korean, American Indian, and Vietnamese women.

text: The ladies puffer coats you buy should have a flat puff. Ladies puffer coats that are quilted very heavily tend to make you look very fat and should therefore be avoided. If you select a jacket that is filled with a superior warming material such as goose down you will be able to get away with a very thin jacket. Polyester filling is just not effective at keeping you cozy and these jackets therefore tend to be excessively bulky and unattractive. It is certainly worth spending extra money on goose down filled outerwear rather than ones filled with polyester. If you are worried about the cost then you should wait for discount sales so that you can buy a high quality coat that is filled with goose down.

Magnificent Mansion Memories
One of my friends arrived at the Mansion before I did and her text to me pretty much sums it up: "Holy cow. This place is amazing!"
My friends and I were a group of 14 and have been renting homes for a weekend during the winter for quite a few years now. Even though the price of the home was a little more than we have spent in the past we loved the idea of renting a Mansion: and we're all very glad we did! Also, anytime I emailed the owner with a question, I got a reply promptly. This made it so much easier to organize things with our group.
The place had plenty of room for everyone to either all hang out together in one place, or to go off and do their own thing in separate places. There is a part of the house that could be it's own separate house; there's two bedrooms, bathroom, a kitchen and small living room there. We kept calling that "the other side" and it was a great space to have.
The "man cave" area downstairs was perfect. Pool table, dart board, flat screen tv, electric fireplace...and all the guys' favorite: a leather couch with LED lights underneath it. Then the hot tub room was right off of that room downstairs. Some people thought it was too hot, but if you cracked the sliding glass door then the cold air from outside made it fine.
The rooms were spacious and the house was very clean and tidy. It almost felt like going to a spa because there were white towels that were rolled up and left by the tubs in the bathrooms.
Overall, this was the perfect place to come together with friends to forget about work and enjoy being together.
Great property for large gatherings
This property was fantastic! Very well kept and obviously loved. We celebrated Thanksgiving, Birthday and Wedding and were missing nothing. The amenities were much more than we expected. We had a few unforeseen bumps and Fred the property manager was on top of everything. We would absolutely consider this house again for our family gatherings.
A Wonderful Family Vacation Spot
Our family of 17 rented both locations for a wonderful week on what we call "Lake Wally." The homes were beautiful, clean and well kept. The site Manager, Trish, was friendly, helpful and accessible, if needed. We were 11 adults (ages 28 - 60) and 6 Grandkids (ages 1-10) and we had plenty of room. The sunsets were awesome. Whether it was the family playing games on the lawn, relaxing on the deck or swimming/fishing from the docks, everyone had a great time. We have been vacationing together every 2 years and our Grandkids are already planning our 2016 vacation at Lake Wally!

Be specific: What's Afrika Bambaataa listening to?
Since U Street Music Hall opened its doors last March, we've spent countless nights basking in the underground nightclub's glorious sound system, soaking up strains of techno, house, electro and hip-hop -- all genres that would impossible to imagine without the influence of Afrika Bambaataa.
Now, the legendary DJ is scheduled to appear at U Hall on Sunday for a Martin Luther King Day celebration featuring DJ sets from Fort Knox Five, Jahsonic and Rex Riddem.
Click Track asked Bambaataa about what he'll be spinning -- and what else he's been listening to, lately.
On the importance of a good sound system:
You're not really in control. So you get the engineer, who is in control, to give you the best quality sound as possible. Sometimes things mess up, sometimes it's perfect, and sometimes you get some equipment that might sound like tin cans. And that can really annoy you -- especially if the people can't feel the power of the music.
On hip-hop as a global phenomenon:
Everybody used to try and rap like Americans. I would try to tell them, No, speak your native language. Speak on your issues... If you want to use some of the English language, [that's fine], but speak in your own native tongues and speak about what you want to speak about. Now we have great stars and hip-hop artists in many different cultures and many different countries. There's an international flavor of hip-hop culture.
On the state of hip-hop radio:
I don't like what's going on with so-called radio program directors. The internet and the satellite stations? Those are great. But the major stations -- it's like brainwash. They play the same 10 or 15 records over and over. It's not just hip-hop. There's funk, soul, R&B, house, techno, rock, country, western... Play the old with the new, the new with the old all day long.
On what he's listening to these days:
There's David Starfire. Masters of Illusion ... A whole bunch of people out there. I like a lot of Indian music that's coming out... All of these DJs putting out this jump-up music. In hip-hop, there's still Twista and stuff like that... There's a lot of interesting stuff out there.
On what he'll play on Sunday:
Whatever makes the people get funky and dance. But I always give tribute back to the music of D.C. and that's go-go... Chuck Brown, R.E., E.U. Gotta keep their stuff alive.

7th boys
RED OAK — Tucker Flynn had 10 points and seven rebounds for Creston seventh-graders in a 31-27 loss to Red Oak Monday. Red Oak led 12-6 at halftime.
Coach Todd Jacobson said it was a typical first game for seventh-graders.
"We played much more intense basketball in the second half," Jacobson said. "We gave ourselves a chance in the end, but Red Oak was able to knock down a few shots and made their free throws to pu the game away. They started slow, but figured out the level of intensity that it took to be successful in the second half."
Creston plays West Central Valley on Monday.
Creston (27) — Tucker Flynn 10, Jacob Cook 8, Cole Higgins 3, Cody Wagner 2, Dustin Merritt 2, Evan Jacobson 2. Rebounds — Flynn 7. Steals — Wagner 2. Assists — Jacobson 2.
