Ten Amazing Halloween Costumes For Miami's Sports Stars
Halloween is right around the corner, and if you haven't already, now is the time to pick up a costume. By now, Walmart's cookie-cutter dress-up shelves look like the Publix bottled water section when a hurricane is churning in the Gulf.
Sometimes the best Halloween ideas are right under your nose -- maybe it's a character you already look just like, or something that reflects your inner personality. Riptide thought we might lend a hand to a few of our South Florida sports stars, seeing as they may be a tad busy for Halloween nonsense at this very moment, and provide a few costume ideas we would love to see them try to pull off.
LeBron as Dracula
King James is the most terrifying character in the NBA. He lives off the blood of his opponents. Sometimes he seems to have that whole "transform-into-a-bat-to-fly-over-people's heads" thing going on. All he's missing in the cape and the teeth, honestly.
Jose Fernandez as Justin Bieber
He's the baby-faced sensation at Marlins Park, where legions ... OK, a few thousand fans flock to see him beat down batters like a teen idol destroying tweens' hearts. Yes, we are all Beliebers in Jose Fernandez.
Birdman as Jax from Sons of Anarchy
Is anyone positive that Birdman doesn't star in Sons of Anarchy in the off-season? Has anyone seen Chris Andersen and Charlie Hunnam in a room together?

PRESS RELEASE From the Office of State Senator Leticia Van de Putte
For Immediate Release November 10, 2008 Contact: Tiffany Champion, (210) 733-6604
Senator Van de Putte files legislation re-regulating insurance rates
(AUSTIN, TX) -- Today, November 10, 2008, Senator Leticia Van de Putte (D-San Antonio) has filed legislation to help lower insurance rates for Texans.
The bill (S.B. 91) would require insurance companies to file rates with the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), and only charge those rates with the commissioner's approval. The insurance market was deregulated in 2003 in an attempt to create competition and thus, lower rates. This legislation would move toward creating more oversight in the insurance market.
"When the legislature passed insurance reform policies in 2003, it was with the hope and constant assurance from the industry that lessening rate regulation would stimulate competition and lower premiums for Texans. It has now been five years, and Texans are still paying the highest premiums in the nation, almost twice the national average," said Van de Putte.
"The time is ripe to do more to help lower insurance rates. In these tough financial times, more and more people are struggling to make ends meet; creating accountability in the insurance market is the least we can do," said Senator Leticia Van de Putte. "I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and Senate to do more for Texas families."

Sherrill Milnes (right) as Baron Scarpia in Tosca (Festival Puccini, 1997) | |
Born | Downers Grove, Illinois | January 10, 1935
Sherrill Milnes (born January 10, 1935) is an American operatic baritone most famous for his Verdi roles. From 1965 until 1997 he was associated with the Metropolitan Opera.
His voice is a high dramatic baritone, combining good legato with an incisive rhythmic style; furthermore, he has a commanding and handsome stage presence. By 1965 he had made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera. His international debuts followed soon thereafter, and Milnes became one of the world's prominent Verdi baritones of the 1970s and 1980s.
He has been a prolific recording artist, often in partnership with Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti.
Milnes was born in Downers Grove, Illinois to a dairy farmer and his wife. As a child, he exhibited strong and varied musical talents. In addition to singing, he also played piano, violin, viola, double bass, clarinet, and tuba. Although his interests did not always lean toward opera, he spent many hours singing to his father's cows and was once found on a tractor practicing an operatic laugh.
While in high school, Milnes planned to be an anesthesiologist, but later returned to music, studying music education at Drake University and Northwestern University, with the idea of becoming a teacher. He attended North Central College before transferring to Drake University and Northwestern University. Milnes was awarded an honorary doctorate from North Central College in 2006. After graduating from Drake, he spent a summer as an apprentice at the Santa Fe Opera and thereafter dedicated himself to becoming an opera singer, studying briefly with the famed soprano Rosa Ponselle.
Milnes began his career with the Opera Company of Boston in 1960, joining Boris Goldovsky's Opera Theater, and debuting as Masetto in Don Giovanni. From very early on in his career, Milnes was managed by well-known talent manager Herbert Barrett. In 1961, he made his debut at Ponselle's Baltimore Opera as Gérard in Andrea Chénier.
In 1964, Milnes made his first major breakthrough singing the role of Valentin in Gounod's Faust at the New York City Opera (opposite Norman Treigle as Mephisto), the role with which he also made his Metropolitan Opera debut in 1965. In 1967 he created the role of Captain Adam Brant in the world premiere of Marvin David Levy's Mourning Becomes Electra at the Met.
In 1964, Milnes also made his European debut singing Figaro from The Barber of Seville at the Teatro Nuovo in Milan. However, it was his performance as Miller in Verdi's Luisa Miller in 1968 which catapulted him into international fame.
In the early 1980s, Milnes experienced serious vocal health problems, but he eventually surmounted them. In 1984 he sang in the world premiere of Act I of Sergei Rachmaninoff's opera Monna Vanna, which had been left in piano score by the composer and orchestrated by Igor Buketoff.
Milnes was awarded Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity's Charles E. Lutton Man of Music Award at its 1982 national convention in Urbana, Illinois. He had been initiated into the Fraternity's Alpha Beta chapter at Drake University in 1954.
On July 5, 1986, he performed on the New York Philharmonic's tribute to the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, which was televised live on ABC Television.[1] The orchestra, conducted by Zubin Mehta, performed in Central Park.
In September 1996 Milnes was honored by the French government with the distinguished Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.[2] He made his final performance at the Met on March 22, 1997 in Aida. In 1998, Milnes published a memoir, American Aria.
Milnes is currently a professor emeritus in voice at Northwestern University. He is a recipient of Yale University's Sanford Medal. He is Artistic Advisor to Opera Tampa (FL).[3]
He is a National Patron of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity.[4]
Milnes has been a resident of Cresskill, New Jersey, and currently resides in Palm Harbor, Florida with his wife and son, Theo.[5]

Have you ever wanted an easy way to share your videos, pictures and documents with family and friends? Well, now with Droplr you can. This is a service that is well-known for Mac and iOS, but many people are not aware that they have an app for Windows as well.
Main Functionality
Droplr gives you an easy way to share files (videos, pictures, documents and more) with family, friends and coworkers. You can share files by simply dragging and dropping them on the Droplr homepage. However, if you want to share documents right from your Windows desktop, you can download the free Droplr app. Now you can share your files without ever having to go to the Droplr website.
- Conveniently located in your taskbar
- Sharing files is quick
- The process is seamless and very user friendly
- Apps also available for Mac and iOS systems
- No limit on the "amount" of files you can share
- Free accounts are restricted to file sizes of 25MB
- Must create an account to use the service
- Free version is ad supported
Droplr is, by far, the easiest way to share files between people. The way the program works is simple. Just drag and drop the file that you want to add onto the Droplr Windows app or onto the Droplr web page. After the file is uploaded, you are given a link that you can give out to your friends and family. They can then use that link to download whatever it was that you uploaded. It is as simple as that!
Although you don't have to have the Windows app installed on your computer to use Droplr, I highly recommend it. Mostly just for convenience proposes. Many times when I come across a file I want to share with someone, I don't always have my web browser pulled up. Sure, I can take the time to open my browser, load Droplr's homepage, login, and then upload my file. However, it is just so much easier to drag the file I want to upload right to the Droplr icon on my desktop.
You do have to create an account to use the Droplr service, but it is worth it. After creating just one account, you can access the program from any Droplr app you may be using. You can get apps for Windows, Mac and iOS systems (sorry Android users).
Droplr is free to use, but there are some limitations. For example, you can upload as many files as you want (you have 1GB of storage space), but you are limited to a 25MB file size per upload. Thus, sharing pictures and most files should not be a problem, but uploading long videos is out of the question. They do offer a Droplr Pro account which allows you to upload files up to 1GB in size. They also give you more customizable options and so on. However, a Pro account costs $3 a month, or $30 a year. So I have learned to live with with limitations of the free version.
In short, Droplr is a great service to use if you're looking for an easy way to share files with people you know. Although there are limitations on the free account, like 1GB of storage and a 25MB size limit per file uploaded, the average user should not have a problem with these restrictions. Once again, Droplr is a service that you can use without this program, but this app for Windows makes sharing files just that much easier.
Price: Free (Pro version available for $3 a month, or $30 a year)
Version reviewed: v2.0.3
Supported OS: Windows XP / Vista / 7
Download size: 850KB
VirusTotal malware scan results: 0/41
Is it portable? No (iOS version available for those who want to take this service on the go)

I've registered and the drop zone works, but the web page does not. I'm giving this a thumbs down because I'd rather not have another program running in the background with a drop zone hovering on my desktop when I'll only be using it once a week or so. Plus, its limitation of only 25 MB is a downer. I'm going to stick with WeTransfer, which allows up to 2 GB per upload, and the web site works every time.
To share in local, i've just read a good review in french about a program named Dukto (but i've not try it yet).
It's open source, available for Windows, Mac, Linux & Symbian and there is a portable version.
info : http://www.msec.it/blog/?page_id=11 -
i have a suggestion here. since these kind of programs are cross-platform, a separate category may be created for these! one may call it multi-platform or cross-platform. for a program to be eligible, it should be windows, mac and linux compatible, IMO.

by Dave Bar Versatile, high-performance passive speakers Compact, beautiful, and affordable you get the triple whammy of speaker design with Audioengine's P4s. Plus their stylish carbonized bamboo finish matches beautifully with almost any decor. "But how do they sound?" you ask. Your music and movie soundtracks will sound incredibly transparent, alive with midrange presence and crisp, crystalline highs. We wouldn't expect anything less from Audioengine. Close your eyes and you'll be amazed that the spacious, wide-open sound you're hearing is coming from such small speakers. Audioengine first caught our attention with their excellent-sounding line of powered speakers. These passive speakers are a great option when you already have an amplifier or receiver that you'd like to use. Pair them with Audioengine's N22 integrated amplifier for a compact desktop system that'll make you want to spend more time just listening. Solid bamboo cabinets for speakers that look fantastic These speakers feature solid bamboo cabinets for a simple, modern look and stunning performance. And Audioengine takes care to be eco-friendly, too they use only renewable and sustainable bamboo, and the cabinets are sealed with a hand-rubbed water-based polyurethane. Versatile placement in your living room, bedroom, or office The P4s work great in just about any audio setup. Mix and match them with any other pair of Audioengine speakers to create a killer surround sound system in your living room. Or use them in a stereo setup in your den, bedroom, or home office. They'll sound great sitting on stands, on a bookshelf, or mounted on a wall using the integrated threaded inserts. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.
Awesome speakers that look as great as they sound! Written By Dave, Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, January 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I looked into a pair of these for surround sound in my livingroom after buying and loving the AudioEngine A5+ speakers (white). These bamboo P4N speakers sound fantastic and you're going to hear sounds that you likely never knew existed before in your music. I am now going to get a second pair of these and use all 4 with a Polk CS2 center channel speaker and subwoofer to complete the surround sound setup in my living room. I couldn't recommend more! Pros: The bamboo looks natural yet classy and the speakers sound amazing. Cons: None as ofyet.
Satisfied Written By Dave, Denver, CO on Monday, August 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these to replace a pair of Energy CB-5 that were in my bedroom. My immediate impression was that despite being of similar size, the Audioengines didn't have anywhere near the low end of the Energys. I was a bit surprised by this, as numerous reviews suggested that bass was, of course, somewhat lacking, but was far better than you'd expect for speakers of this size. Yeah, well, not so much. However, mids and highs were absolutely spectacular. Vocals are precise, and anything acoustic is far more enjoyable with these speakers. I'm hoping that after they break in a bit the bass may come out more, but if it doesn't I will still be satisfied with my purchase. These are solid speakers and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in my usual listening room (with a sub). Pros: Solid build, attractive cabinet, GREAT high and midrange for the money, relatively cheap, nice size for a bedroom/office system. Cons: No grill (which they say isn't an issue, but makes me worry about damage to the drivers), lack bass.

A Centerville area horse called Northstar was stiff with pain this morning after suffering burns to his back and face – the result being intentionally set on fire over the weekend.
"He is right now on an antibiotic for infection, pain medicine, and just applying salves, trying to keep it moist."
Northstar's owner, Jessie Woodworth says friends have helped her organize a collection for Northstar's veterinary bills.
"As long as we keep the infection out, he should be good. That's the most important thing right now, just crossing our fingers and praying. All of the prayers help; that's for sure."
PNC Bank is now handling donations after Woodworth says the veterinary clinic treating Northstar was overwhelmed with phone calls yesterday. Donations can be made at any PNC branch by asking to contribute to the "Donations for Northstar fund." You can also find more information at the facebook page, "Donations For Northstar."
No arrests have been made. Corry based state police are continuing to search for clues after someone doused Northstar in a flammable liquid and set him on fire.

The Dramedo Crags - Aetolia Online Help
12.17.2 The Dramedo Crags
Serving as a natural barrier between Delve and the rest of the continent of Albedos, the Dramedo Crags are an expanse of labyrinthine caverns and towering mountain peaks. Delve guards it extensively, as it serves as the only land route for supply lines to cross. Within the peaks of Dramedo resides Mount Helba, home to a hidden away settlement of people who stubbornly refuse to leave their homes for the safety of Delve.

As seasoned travelers, we know what is most important to us when stay away from home and we have created an atmosphere to mirror that. Plush towels, fully-equipped kitchen, wonderful linens, and impeccably clean! After a busy day of sightseeing, warm comfortable beds await you! A spacious bathroom with thick, plush towels provide you with all the comforts of home! There is an office in basement, house keeper may stay in the basement.

What a fantastic place to stay!
We were a party of 4 with 2 adult children. Plenty of room for everyone, even to find your own private place after a full day of sightseeing.
We cannot agree with the negative reference that you may read further down. Based upon that reference, I specifically contacted the owner to ensure we would arrive in a clean house with plenty of clean towels. And indeed, all bathrooms were clean, no mold to be seen, clean toilets... We agree that the house could use some more TLC, but overall the floors, bathrooms and bedrooms were clean, and that's the most important. The laundry room came in very handy!
The house is located in an upscale and quite neighborhood. The owner himself was very kind. We only met him once. He never bothered us, so we did not feel in any way uncomfortable.
I would definitely recommend this house for its spaciousness and the neighborhood. Good alternative to a hotel for larger families or small groups of friends.

Courthouse will see a changing of the guard
By RANDY GONZALES
Marilyn Leiker will be watching her Kansas Jayhawks -- maybe even go to a game in person. Alberta Klaus is thinking about taking up another musical instrument.
Leiker and Klaus, with a combined 85 years serving Ellis County, will have time to pursue their passions in retirement. Leiker retired in December after 43 years working in the Ellis County Health Department. There was a retirement reception planned for Klaus today after 42 years of service, first in the county treasurer's office, then in the county clerk's office.
Leiker, 62, started as a secretary in 1969, then moved up to administrative assistant in 2002.
Back in the day, the health office used typewriters and had a mimeograph machine. It was years before computers and copying machines came along.
Switching to computers was a brave, new world for Leiker.
"For me, it was, because I didn't really have any computer experience," she said.
Klaus had taken some computer classes, so upgrading to computers wasn't a problem, she said.
"Just going to computers sure made a lot of difference," Klaus said. "Just the ease of doing your job."
Klaus, 70, remembers when she first started working part-time in the treasurer's office as a clerk in 1961; there was no air conditioning at the Ellis County Courthouse, and they worked on Saturdays, too.
"In '61, we didn't have air conditioners," Klaus said. "We opened the windows; we survived."
In 1962, Klaus started working part-time in the clerk's office. She worked there until taking approximately four years off to raise her children when they were small. She also operated a preschool.
"After they were a bit more grown up, I was just ready to come back to work," said Klaus, who returned to the clerk's office to work part-time in 1974.
A few months later, a full-time secretary position opened up. Klaus was in that position until becoming Ellis County Clerk in 1997.
"I have always liked my job," Klaus said. "County was good to work for. I like the people. I like doing service for people, researching things for people."
Leiker enjoyed going to schools to give children vision and hearing checks, and there always were outbreaks through the years to contend with as a department, such as the Swine Flu in 1976.
"Seemed like every year, different things came about, there was a reason to stay, see a program through. It was just real interesting," she said.
Leiker is interested in sports, especially when it comes to KU basketball. She also enjoys watching KU and Kansas State football on TV, and follows the Kansas City Chiefs, but Bill Self's Jayhawks are the team for her and her husband, Art, a retired Hays firefighter.
"We kind of like sports," she said. "Try not to miss a KU basketball game."
Leiker saw the Jayhawks play in person once, in the 1980s, when Danny Manning was the star. She has a stepson who lives in Topeka, so another trip to Lawrence might be in the offing. Leiker still remembers her visit to Allen Fieldhouse.
"It was wonderful; it was loud," she said. "The fans were so energetic; everybody stood the whole game."
Klaus also has ideas on how to fill her time.
"I've got so many things I want to do," she said. "I'm thinking about maybe taking some music lessons to learn how to play a new instrument."
Klaus, who already plays the accordion, piano and organ, wants to add the guitar and violin, maybe even the saxophone.
Then there is her granddaughter's dog, Macie, a yellow lab which stays with Alberta. They take walks together.
"I love that doggie," Klaus said. "Just a big companion."
Now, Klaus can enjoy time with her husband, Bob, who also is retired. She can sleep easy at night.
"Just let someone else take home the worries," she said. "I saw myself wake up in the middle of the night and jump up and write something down."
Klaus said she is leaving the clerk's office in good hands. Donna Maskus, the deputy clerk who won November's election to become clerk, has been in the office since 1979.
"In all those years, we never had an argument," Klaus said. "I think Donna's going to do a good job.
"I told her if there wasn't something she remembered, or didn't know for sure, just give me a call."

Probably not likey to happen overnight but what would happen if they banned the sale and transfer of the "scary black rifles" as well as required you to turn them in? Would life go on as normal or would there be a revolution. I am curious on your inputs as I have been pondering this. Now obviously there would be protest but I'm talking about a big rebellion where we just take over. Which wouldn't be so bad cause we have to do something about this country. WE THE PEOPLE NOT YOU THE GOVERNMENT

I'm sure if they came for our rifles they would get our bullets first!!
Not saying it cant or wont ever happen but we the people will not let this happen . See my signature below for instructions
Pure: Awesome sig!!!
It seems it is much easier to destroy rights than maintain them. The momentum, the thrust, the erosion is constant. Although we cannot see it, the edge if the precipice is at hand...every time gun grabbing appears. I believe a media campaign, followed by a registration requirement, followed by a grandfathered ban, followed by non reloadable ammo requirements, followed by more media support and voluntary buy back, followed by local ban expansion will set the stage for whatever ends the debate. Smoked a brisket last weekend and that starts with a good fire in the firebox, when I opened the box to check the coals, I found a toad in the coals with rear legs burnt off. When I touched it with the poker it blinked and pulled itself out with front legs...gruesome and certainly unintended to be sure, but the old myth of boiling a frog may be true. We should be very sensitive to that effect when it comes to our firearm rights! Sorry in advance for the imagery, but I had seen on Mythbusters where they debunked that one and took them at their word....
If It Were Easy, They Would Not Call It Work, And Everyone Would Do It
I suspect there would be many millions of questionably illegal AR's in the hands of Americans. Two million sold to them 2000 through 2010, and it wouldn't surprise me if the same number are sold since 2010 through this year, 2013.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AonYZs4MzlZbdE5Hb2htdzJYUk1XeFRxMkJIdEFNU Xc#gid=5
The spreadsheet doesn't include all of the bare lower receivers sold or any of the 80% complete receivers that are now complete guns. My guess is that you can EASILY double, and maybe even triple, the number sold between 2000 and 2010!
I would hope that people would rise up in mass, I wouldn't turn mine in, I'm getting old anyway, I've had a great life, my kids are grown and on their own and my wife would be alright financially without me. My decision would be very simple.

Warning: This is a pretentious, self examining, angsty post that is not what I usually try to write. I have been blogally absent for a long time and have been terrible at keeping in touch, and I felt like I need a good transition post to explain what has been going on for the past several weeks before I go back to writing about life as a teacher in Korea, and things like poop, elevators, and kimchi . You have been warned.
"What I've written here is a message to myself. I toss it into the air like a boomerang. It slices through the dark, lays the little soul of some poor kangaroo out cold, and finally comes back to me. But the boomerang that returns is not the same one I threw. Boomerang, boomerang." -Sputnik Sweetheart, Haruki Murakami
This is a really deep quote, which I would like to think I sort of understand. I will now take the opportunity to twist, bend and stretch it into an introduction for my first blog post in over a month, a theme which will attempt to explain my life, mindset, and absence, since arriving in Korea in early June.
Through several long minutes of self reflection before writing this post, I came to the realization that since my graduation from Emerson in 2009, I have been throwing out life boomerangs in a never ending experiment to discover just who the hell I am, and where it is in this world that I belong.
I came back from Korea and thought I could easily return to the life that I left in Boston. I quickly discovered that the self boomerang I had thrown when I left for Korea (god this is getting deep) was not the same boomerang that came back, and I found that I didn't know how to approach life in a new way in a once familiar city that no longer felt like home. This is when I began the process of making the decision that ultimately brought me back to Korea. Was this the right decision to make? Was I living life under the same mindset that brought me back to Boston, returning to what is comfortable and not accepting change? When I got back to Korea, though it was amazing catching up with friends, eating the food I have missed so much, and creating bonds with new students, I was really scared to realize that in the 6 short months since I had left, my boomerang had once again changed. I really felt that I had made a horrible decision to come back for another year as Peter Teacher, but unlike my non-committal return tour around Boston, I am contractually obligated to stay here for a full year. This terrified me in my first few weeks, and I haven't really been keeping in touch with anyone because I didn't want to have to explain what I was thinking. Perhaps feeling comfortable enough now to examine the situation and angistly convey it to my readers (mom) is a good sign that things are looking up.
I am still not 100% convinced that coming back was the right decision, but have discovered a new found comfort in understanding that there is no right and wrong decision. Part of life is gaining an understanding that your boomerang is going to change, and that lack of comfort I have found in my my return to Korea is what is going to inspire change in another direction. This year I hope to use this change and my new perspective to create an even more rewarding experience than in Korea Round I.
Now that all of this angst and self pity is out of the way... expect a new post very soon. I have missed posting and am looking forward to sharing stories of weddings amongst 5 year olds, monsoon season, and dog meat. Until next time,
Peter Teacher

but symptoms can be alleviated to the point of near-normal functioning in many patients. Treatment for narcolepsy includes the use of medication as well as behavioral therapy.
Behavioral therapies may help control symptoms, including taking three or more scheduled naps throughout the day. Patients should also avoid heavy meals and alcohol, which can disturb or induce sleep.
Counseling is very important for people with narcolepsy. The particular symptoms of this disorder are not widely understood by the general public and this may cause patients to feel uncomfortable, alienated, or depressed. The disease can also be quite frightening and the fear of falling asleep inappropriately often significantly alters life for people with narcolepsy.
In treating narcolepsy, doctors typically prescribe stimulants to improve alertness and diminish excessive daytime sleepiness. Antidepressants are also often used to treat cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis. Finally, sodium oxybate, a strong sleep-inducing agent, may be given at night to improve disturbed nocturnal sleep and reduce daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. All these treatments may have side effects. Stimulants can cause headaches, irritability, mood changes, nervousness, insomnia, anorexia, and irregular heartbeat. Side effects from the use of antidepressants vary and can include nausea, weight gain, anxiety or decreased emotions, drowsiness, sexual dysfunction and changes in blood pressure. Sodium oxybate can induce nausea, excessive sedation, mood changes and enuresis.
The goal in using medications to treat narcolepsy is to achieve normal alertness with minimal side effects.
Behavior treatment of narcolepsy includes:

Spiced walnuts, almost candied, were also an accent on a hot appetizer, the pan-seared foie gras. "Duck or goose?" I asked the waiter.
"Goose," he replied unhesitatingly.
Not only was I pleased with the fact that the foie gras was the real thing, I was happy with the quickness of his response. He understood what I was talking about, and he obviously knew what he was doing -- a fact he continued to prove, albeit a bit flamboyantly, throughout the evening, by announcing his recommendations for each course. He went so far as to drape a napkin over my side of the table after I stained the white tablecloth with broth from the duck confit soup I ordered, so I wouldn't have to look at the "distressing" stains while I finished my meal.
That soup, incidentally, was the one appetizer I didn't care for, which is probably why half of it wound up on the tablecloth. The duck confit, shredding in the broth and soaking up the liquid, tasted too much like pot roast, and the broth itself was sour and a little too spicy.

The duck's mediocrity made us even happier with the goose. Pan-fried to a melting crispness, the foie gras slice was laid over a blue corn pancake studded with chilies and topped with diced sauteed pear, the fruity acidity relieving some of the richness. Port wine and red chili oil drizzles enhanced the plate, providing splashes of color as well as flavor.
Entrees were somewhat uneven: In some cases the main dish was ideal and the sides detracted, while in others the opposite was true. Both New Mexican chili-encrusted tuna and ancho grilled beef tenderloin medallions proved succulent successes. The tuna was a generous fillet seared on the outside and rare in the interior. But the somen noodles that accompanied it, garnished with sauteed baby bok choy, tempura-battered cactus, and green chilies, had so much ginger in their ponzu broth that they were hard to swallow. Likewise, the medallions, more like a pair of hunky filet mignons, were fantastic, musky, gristle-free beef. And while a crunchy wedge of leek and potato crisp was nicely browned, a gold against the maroon of meat, the rest of the stuff was a jumble: peeled and roasted baby carrots, miniature squash, a pile of spinach, and soy-braised portobello mushroom pieces that tasted as if they'd been soaked for days in enough balsamic vinegar to preserve a mummy.
On the flip side, a duck breast was a little shriveled and too fatty, though it had a pleasant aroma from the grill. But its accomplices -- soft polenta and a braised whole Japanese eggplant -- sharpened things up, their complementary textures highlighted by the perfect resistance of grilled shiitake mushrooms. A chipotle demi-glace drew all the components together. The same was true of the creamy scallion-ginger sauce blanketing the side dish that accompanied blue corn-coated grouper. The fish itself, a hefty fillet, was chewy and old, its fishiness apparent despite the cornmeal breading. But a delicate spinach stir-fry helped, and sweet potato ravioli actually compensated for the disappointing grouper. These plump nuggets were mouthwatering, napped with the tangy sauce.
Another disintegrated partnership became evident with dessert: Kevin Kopsick, long-time pastry chef at Norman's, is now at The Heights. I feel for Norman Van Aken. Bittersweet chocolate mousse cake with banana chocolate sorbet and caramelized bananas was luscious, while a pistachio-butterscotch brownie, dense and sweet and topped with mango ice cream and spice cookie shards, was a disappointment only in that it was too small.
Chef Randazzo, whose style reminds me more than anything of Robbin Haas (who is now cooking at Bex, a new restaurant in Boca Raton), has some smoothing out to do; like Haas, he'll take a risk for a big payoff. Perhaps girlfriend Andrea Corto, who worked under pastry chef Jennifer Warren at Pacific Time, filled in as pastry chef at The Heights, and now works the line there, can keep him on an even keel. As customers, we certainly hope that all these relationships -- owner to chef, chef to line cook, and line cook to pastry chef -- hold for the future.
Oh, and P.S. to my in-laws: Only kidding about the divorce thing.

Goddard College is featured in Part Four of Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie, a six-part collaborative documentary produced by several dozen Vermont filmmakers. This documentary explores the history and contemporary culture of the Green Mountain State using cinema verite, personal stories, rare footage, compelling interviews and original re-enactments.
Part Four, "Doers and Shapers," explores democracy at work—differing voices, different points of view—and the people and institutions that push boundaries. Beginning with education and the philosophy of John Dewey, the hands-on style of Goddard College, the Putney School, and the inseparable connection between education and democracy, and moving onto other progressive movements such as Vermont's famous Billboard law and Act 250, cultural movements such as Bread and Puppet Theater, and finally Vermont's groundbreaking civil union law.
The documentary features interviews with Goddard alumni, former staff and faculty, and includes archival photographs, video, and audio recordings. Alumni in the Vermont Movie are Clo Pitkin (BA RUP '53) Mason Singer (BA RUP '70), Avram Patt (BA RUP '72), Fred Wilber (BA RUP '73), Paij Wadley-Bailey (GEPFE '79), Dan Chodorkoff (BA RUP '71), Ginny Callan (BA RUP '74), and Dustin Byerly (BA RUP '01). Former faculty members are Mark Greenberg, Clo Pitkin, Mark Greenberg, Barry & Lorrie Goldensohn, and Former President Mark Schulman.
The Vermont Movie will be screened at over 66 locations in a Barnstorming Tour of the State beginning September 27, 2013. Goddard College will be screening a 23-minute excerpt of Part Four at the 150th Anniversary Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 18, 2013.

Attention: Deficit
Should progressives embrace entitlement reform? Or look elsewhere to narrow the gap? An exchange between two leading fiscal experts.
John Sides, a political scientist at George Washington University, has concluded: "In Congressional elections, just as in presidential elections, the president and his party are not punished for running up the debt. They are punished for a weak economy." If the goal is to regain public trust in government, there's little evidence that strengthening fiscal conditions will matter much, and a lot of reason to believe that cutting Social Security and Medicare would only further alienate Americans.
On the second point, as I have argued, nothing has happened to date to support the belief that spending on the elderly deters new initiatives geared toward other generations. The health-care and stimulus bills are only the most recent examples. Big social-insurance programs directly and indirectly improve economic security for all generations. By reducing poverty rates among the elderly from more than 35 percent before 1960 to around 10 percent today, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (which assists low-income Medicare beneficiaries) have significantly alleviated pressures on families to house and otherwise care for older members. That's a huge quality-of-life improvement for all ages. Moreover, most proposed benefit reductions over time would take deeper and deeper bites out of the payments owed to successive generations as they retire.
On the third point about tax increases, asking the 16 to 20 percent (depending on one's source) of older Americans with income above $75,000 to accept "a little less," as Sawhill proposes, would make barely a dent in the shortfall. The same would go for imposing a cap on Medicare and Medicaid spending, since it would be unlikely to yield lasting reductions based on abundant past experience with similar ceilings. The kinds of benefit cuts that would hammer away at federal outlays enough to bring down future deficits would also have to significantly weaken the economic security of American families who are far from comfortable. For example, raising the normal retirement age to 70 by 2036 would lead to a 10 percent reduction in Social Security benefits for workers between the ages of 40 and 44, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research. That price is too heavy to pay and unnecessarily painful relative to other options.
Sawhill didn't respond to my question about which country is doing a better job than the United States in finding the right balance between individual responsibility and protection against costly risks that we all face. I would argue that pretty much every other advanced nation does a much better job, especially with respect to health care. They all get far more for their medical spending than we do. Since rising health-care costs are the only reason we are having this debate about high future deficits, progressive reformers should be focusing on making the system more cost-effective, rather than ratcheting back past, hard-won accomplishments.
In addition to the fallout from the severe recession, states are cutting back on a broad range of services mainly because they have little leverage to control their soaring costs for Medicaid. Shifting those responsibilities over time entirely to the federal government would greatly alleviate state fiscal pressures and create promising opportunities to control health-care costs system-wide. Without question, increasing federal involvement in the health-care system is a highly problematic political challenge in this country, particularly given existing health-care arrangements and the small-state bias of the Senate and its sundry supermajority rules. But it is the fight progressives should be focusing on.
A team of researchers led by Yale political scientist Jacob S. Hacker just released a report documenting that the proportion of households that experienced at least a 25-percent drop in available income has risen over the last 25 years, with projections showing a new high in 2009. As employers have dropped or curtailed health-care coverage and shifted workers from defined-benefit pensions to volatile and poorly performing defined-contribution plans, the only reliable protections for average Americans have been Social Security and Medicare, buttressed by Medicaid. Those programs are the beachhead upon which progressives should continue to advance.
Many public policy debates periodically heat up and then cool down. But the discussion we have been having on entitlements and the deficit will soon reach a full boil–and will likely continue for years to come.

A few quick points: Baby-boom retirement drain on SS will lessen as we die off. Healthcare public option must pass. Early critics of SS predicted crash in insurance industry. Didn't happen. Seniors working solely for healthcare and deferred benefits can't vacate workplace for juniors to be hired.Yes:raise payroll-tax cap.Yes:Federalize Medicare. State programs can't compete with natl. health ins. cos. Losing trust in govt? Trust big biz more? Wealthy must finance greater good.
Sep 15, 2010, 7:57 PMThank you for the great ideas.
It is hard to seperate the Federal finance from the politic, but if we do! we can get more working space to concentrate on the finance
So far as the definition of S.S. as an "entitalment" and being full of I.O.U.'s these are not entitlements. They were paid into by the people. Also if the politicians would quit giving themselves entitlements, "free healthcare, pensions after one term, etc." the American public would be much more receptive to reduced benefit amounts.

Washed Out is proud to announce his sophomore effort titled Paracosm, which will be released on August 13th via Sub Pop. For a listen at what is sure to be your soundtrack of the summer, check out the trailer video here.
Share on Twitter
Philips commissioned Washed Out to compose for their latest campaign, The Sound of Creation. The experience, described as "an interactive musical story," demonstrates the creative process through 9 audio loops which, when played simultaneously, create a finished piece of music. The project also features visual loops from Cannes Young Directors winner Gustav Johansson. Experience it for yourself here.

Washed Out will be joining The Shins on their fall tour, starting September 22nd in Seattle. Prior to this, they'll be making festival stops this summer at Forecastle, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands, with a handful of dates in between. Check out our Tour section for details...

Washed Out's Daytrotter Session includes some gorgeous alternate versions of "Feel It All Around," "Amor Fati," and "You'll See It." You can stream or download the tracks here.

We're very pleased to welcome the addition of Washed Out to the CA family.
The music recorded by Ernest Greene as Washed Out has been nothing if not dreamy, but for his second full-length, he's taken the idea of letting your mind wander to another state a huge leap further. On Paracosm, due out Aug. 13 on Sub Pop, the Georgia-based musician explores the album's namesake phenomenon, where people create detailed imaginary worlds. The concept has been used to describe fantasy lands like Tolkien's Middle Earth and C.S. Lewis' Narnia, and it's at the heart of the 2004 documentary In The Realms Of The Unreal about outsider artist Henry Darger. The idea of escaping is all over Paracosm's lyrics, and it's also the main thrust behind the music, which finds Greene distancing himself from the modes and methods that informed Washed Out's previous recordings. No, he hasn't thrown away his computer or synths, but Greene made a conscious decision to expand his sonic palette, which resulted in the employment of more than 50 different instruments, the most significant of which turned out to be old keyboards like the Mellotron, Chamberlin, Novatron, and Optigan. Designed during the middle of last century and made up of prerecorded sounds with individual notes sampled for each key of the chromatic scale (the flute sound in The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" is a well-known example of the Mellotron in action), these relics allowed Greene to use his sampling expertise while also offering the flexibility to explore new creative avenues. "I've grown as a songwriter to the point where I want to have more involved arrangements, and that's really hard to do with sampling," says Greene. "These machines were kind of a happy medium: The sounds have a very worn, distressed quality about them, much like an old sample. But they also offer much more flexibility because they're playable. Pretty much all the keyboard sounds, and strings and harps and vibraphones—all of that comes from these old machines." Following two years on the road in support of the critically acclaimed Within And Without—which itself followed the lauded Life Of Leisure EP, led by the otherworldly magic of "Feel It All Around," which can still be heard during Portlandia's opening credits—he and his wife, Blair (who plays in the Washed Out live band), decided to relocate from the big-city hubbub of Atlanta to a house on the outskirts of Athens. Working daily for nearly six months, it was easy for Greene to begin shutting out the real world in favor of an alternate universe of his own making, with the rural setting acting as a prime catalyst. "Subconsciously that's a big inspiration for some of the sounds," says Greene, who completed about two-thirds of the record in Athens before finishing up in Atlanta with Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Gnarls Barkley), who also worked on Within And Without. "While the last record was very minimal, very monochromatic in a way, I knew from the beginning I wanted this record to be optimistic, very much a daytime-sounding album. I think the last record felt more nocturnal in some ways. This one I just imagined being outside, surrounded by a beautiful, natural environment." Listeners will be immediately struck by Paracosm's seamless melding of organic and synthetic sounds, which are related to Washed Out's past but also find Greene redefining his trademark dreaminess. (The songs themselves are also seamless, connected in such a way that they tell a linear sonic story.) The live drums, bass, and guitar recorded at Allen's Maze Studios help take the new material to another level—specifically a place where, despite the vintage instruments and Greene's throwback tendencies, everything feels like it was made right here and now. It also has a more human quality to it than most people are probably used to hearing on an electronic album. Take, for instance, the sunny, laid-back groove of the appropriately titled "Great Escape" ("All I need is the simple life / make believe the world has vanished around us") and first single "It All Feels Right," which is as wonderfully hypnotic as anything in Washed Out's discography yet uses an almost tropical feel to get there. "'It All Feels Right' was one of the first songs that I started for Paracosm," says Greene. "It's my favorite song on the album because it's the closest to the vision I had when I started. Paracosm is the first work I've done where I knew from the beginning what I wanted it to sound like." Elsewhere, amidst the sound of kids playing and birds chirping, Paracosm offers plenty of opportunities to sing along, including with the beautifully bent "Don't Give Up," the jangle-squiggle jam "All I Know" (which sounds like Smiths-era Johnny Marr collaborating with Passion Pit), and the romantic-pop tune "Falling Back." Regardless of where you turn, the album is packed with beautiful moments, the most moving of which can be heard while Greene gets his shoegaze on during the Cocteau Twins-esque "Weightless" and album closer "All Over Now." With its gorgeous execution and uplifting attitude, Paracosm is primed to be this year's summer record that gets you through the winter. And it promises to do what its name suggests: Take listeners to another, better, world.Press Quotes
Washed Out have created an album that inhabits you and you inhabit it." -Alternative Press
"Greene's meticulous creations are still slow-rolling and thickly layered, but this time he and returning Animal Collective producer Ben Allen slather on less futuristic sounds: Mellotron, bongos, children laughing. Harplike arpeggios herald the beginning of the title track like the launch of a Technicolor reverie, but the nine-song LP's dreamiest tune is "All I Know," a nostalgic stunner that glows like a jar of fireflies." -Rolling Stone
"A stellar feel-good summer record that measures Greene's growth as songwriter and musician." -PASTE
"The perfect record for the lazy weeks of summer--a sun-dappled, intricately layered, indie pop beauty." [#2 / "Must List"] -Entertainment Weekly
"It's a realm of leisurely melodies and keyboard chords that wash in and drift away, of calm vocal harmonies and burbling electronics, of lavishly blended acoustic and electronic instruments and echoes of reassuring pop from past eras..."Paracosm" sounds warmer, more enveloping; precisely because it's so much more spacious, it's cozier." -New York Times

NSA is capable of spying on 75 percent of internet traffic in US, says WSJ
Posted By Enrique Manalang On August 23, 2013 @ 6:10 AM In General Tech,World Wide Web | 2 Comments
When the NSA first released the outline of their security programs, the agency claimed that it only touched 1.6 percent of internet traffic [2]. Publications like The Atlantic disputed that number and now, the Wall Street Journal is saying that all the different programs of the NSA are capable of covering 75 percent of all US internet traffic.
The discrepancy here is due to the amount that the NSA specifically requests from different ISPs and what the agency's spying programs are capable of. In other words, assuming NSA's and WSJ's numbers are true, the difference arises with what the NSA can do and what the NSA actually does. The WSJ report also mentions that while the agency often notes that its capable of seeing the metadata of communications (like the "to" and "from" lines of emails), its also capable of intercepting the actual contents as well.
Due to the large amount of data the NSA is examining, not all of the data is being discarded — meaning that American's communications are likely left stored in the NSA's database, despite the agency being required to destroy information on Americans that "doesn't fall under exceptions to the rule, including information that is relevant to foreign intelligence, encrypted, or evidence of a crime."
I would say I'm glad I don't live in America but I'm pretty sure NSA does worse things abroad — with little to no oversight under the guise of national security.

This weekend, we found out one of the greatest female entertainers of the 90s was leaving the spotlight for greener pastures of normalcy. Early Saturday morning, Amanda Bynes tweeted her decision to "retire" from acting, citing she's not going to do something if she doesn't "love" doing it (does that mean she's under investigation for tax evasion?). See below for the murky explanation, that we're supposed to pass of as understandable, in its entirety. Start at the bottom.
Granted, Amanda Bynes is no Cate Blanchett, Julia Roberts or Meryl Streep. But many in the industry thought she had the skills to someday make that much of a name for herself (at least people at Cosmopolitan talked to some people with those views for their profile article about her in January). Additionally, she was one of the only remaining child stars who managed to go from jumping on a trampoline with pigtails during the opening credits of "All That" to someone on the cover of Maxim without having a picture of her slumped over in the passenger seat of an Escalade floating around on the internet. She was going to be the prize-winning pig at a Midwestern state fair of child stars! What's the deal with rejecting all that promise and prestige?! As her tweets show, apparently she's not the type of person to do something she doesn't love. So maybe she just got tired of memorizing lines, dressing up in dudes' clothes and pointing out the cattiness of teenage-dom by sticking tampons up her nose. But she was so "guilty pleasure" good at it, and it's hard to imagine Dakota Fanning or Miley Cyrus pulling off a movie like "She's the Man" even a fraction as well as she did. I'm inclined to think she didn't like the trajectory of her career... but that's a problem easily fixed by putting your agent and publicist in a box filled with soggy Triscuits and shipping them to Tanzania. So even though we're asked to believe the hashtag on the last tweet illustrates the severity of her decision, the "I'm very attracted to [black men] just fyi" makes her mountain a little bit more infested with garden snakes, and that much harder to climb.

I hope the mods will allow a very brief off-topic detour. On the matter of IKEA, I would like to know why you can't turn around and go back the way you came. It sounds like you can't but I cannot figure out why. What's stopping you? (I've never been in one.)

My SS today was a fellow driver who flicked his cigarette out of his car window. I glared at him (because BOY, do I hate it when people think that the world is their personal garbage can), and he glared right back. If I could have hopped out, retrieved his cigarette, and flicked it back in his window, I would have.

Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire, Glasgow
Editor's Pick
West End
Scotland G12 0UX
Tel: 44 141 339 2001
Concierge.com's insider take:
Set in a grand 1886 terrace of five three-story town houses in the genteel West End, One Devonshire is generally reckoned to be the finest hotel in town. A recent $3.8-million makeover added an upscale bistro, while the acquisition of the final house in the terrace—once owned by the shipping magnate and art collector Sir William Burrell—has increased the number of rooms and suites to 49. The spacious rooms are individually furnished, some in airy cream and silver, others in opulent chocolate and crimson, with silks, wools, rich woods, and judicious use of Victorian-patterned wall coverings. Many of the Classic and Grand rooms have four-poster beds, open fireplaces, and huge bay windows. The hotel's elegant suites are exceptional; our favorite is the Mews Suite, a private duplex with its own entrance, sauna, and bar facilities, as well as a door to the hotel's magical garden. Downstairs, settle into one of the Whisky room's leather sofas and enjoy a dram—there are 300 to choose from, ranging from $6.50 to $148 a nip. One Devonshire does traditional in a thoroughly stylish way. Perfect example: the bell boys who manage to look wonderfully hip in straight-legged Cameron of Erracht tartan trousers.
