New adventures in eating pizza
CPK adds light, healthy but still hearty dishes to its menu
Comfort food warms the heart and fills the tummy. It may be a pizza with the works or mud pie with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
At California Pizza Kitchen (CPK), it may also be a lighter choice such as The Farmers Market Pizza—honey wheat-dough pizza topped with mozzarella and goat cheese, tomato sauce, grilled zucchini, roasted squash, tomatoes and fresh basil.
Or, one can have meaty Prosciutto Pizza with thin slices of Italian prosciutto, tomatoes and arugula baked on a caramelized crust. Drizzle some olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a perfect bite.
These are some of the items on CPK's New Adventure list, a mix of light and hearty dishes aside from its classics menu. CPK Lucky Chinatown Mall general manager Rosemarie Garcia said diners now prefer filling but healthier items, so the CPK team added more salads, wraps, chicken and fish dishes in the menu.
"People still order their CPK favorites, but they also look for something lighter that is meant for sharing," Garcia said during an interview at the Lucky Chinatown Mall branch in Binondo, Manila.
Among the CPK bestsellers is Original BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad—a mix of black beans, sweet corn, tomatoes, tortilla strips, Monterey Jack cheese, chicken barbecue and cilantro tossed in herb ranch dressing. Most tables would also have Original BBQ Chicken Pizza which has smoked Gouda cheese, mozzarella, chicken barbecue, cilantro and barbecue sauce.
Sexier salads
It was a challenge to come up with something healthier but still exciting, said kitchen manager Gary Ordonez. All the recipes that were formulated in the Philippines also had to be approved by the main CPK kitchen in California, added assistant manager Alfred Gonzalbo. The result: more choices for the conscious diner.
Take, for example, the Fresh Spinach Salad—spinach made sexy with candied walnuts, cherry tomatoes and gorgonzola cheese. Toss this in raspberry vinaigrette dressing, and pair with grilled Italian sausages as suggested in the menu.
Other new starters are cream-based Mushroom Capuccino Soup, Italian Sausage and Pepperoni slices, and Fried Mozzarella or cheese sticks in wonton wrapper.
CPK's version of Quesadilla comes in open-faced slices with mozzarella and Velveeta cheeses, sliced garlic chicken, black beans, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeño, tortilla strips and ranch dressing. Dip is roasted tomato salsa. It is the quesadilla counterpart of the BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad.
Veggie pizza and pasta
CPK's Vegetarian Pizza is likewise notable. Toppings include grilled eggplant, button mushrooms, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted corn, broccoli, pine nuts, goat cheese and mozzarella. This thin-crust pizza comes with reduced balsamic vinegar on the side.
One may also opt for The Anchovy Pizza with crumbled anchovy fillets, tomatoes, garlic, mozzarella and tomato-based Neapolitan sauce.
Other non-beef/chicken dishes are Seafood Pomodoro, and Asparagus and Spinach Spaghettini.
Cheese steak sandwich
But there are new items for meat lovers as well. For pastas, Garcia said Chicken Piccata sells well in Lucky Chinatown Mall. It is a family-size serving of spaghetti with lemon-caper sauce and sliced chicken breast.
Lasagna Milanese has Italian sausage, bolognese, button mushrooms, Bechamel, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, and fresh basil.
We love the Cheese Steak Sandwich—a baguette filled with tender steak strips, button mushrooms, onions and gooey cheese.
The Asian Wrap sandwich offers a choice between chicken or USDA prime steak. (The steak usually wins, Garcia said). The meat is wrapped with bell pepper, bean sprouts, cheese and nori in toasted soft tortilla. It comes with a siding of enoki mushrooms, teriyaki glaze and wasabi dressing.
Another Asian dish is Mu Shu Chicken Calzone. It has garlic chicken, cheeses, mushrooms, bean sprouts, roasted peanuts brushed with sesame oil, scallion and hoisin, served with fried wonton wrappers.
Chocolate Sin
CPK has also introduced a variety of desserts including a sugarless and flourless dark-chocolate cake called Chocolate Sin.
Caramel Hazelnut Cake, meanwhile, is lemon chiffon with caramel mousse, candied hazelnuts and dark-chocolate glaze.
There's also Mango Crunch mousse and Caramel Banana Tart for those who prefer fruity sweets.
Popular CPK desserts are S'mores Pizza and Oreo Mud Pie—a hit among kids.
Order any dessert and enjoy "unli" brewed coffee by adding P50. Now, that's really sweet.
CPK was established in the Philippines in 1998 by Global Restaurant Concepts Inc., headed by president and CEO Archie Rodriguez. The Lucky Chinatown Mall outlet, which seats 120, is its eighth branch. It has a laid-back vibe that attracts mostly groups and families in the Manila area.
Other branches are in Glorietta 3, Alabang Town Center, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Greenhills Promenade, Trinoma, Power Plant Mall, Greenbelt 5 and Harbor Point Mall in Subic.

The return to religion has perhaps become the dominant cliché of contemporary theory, which rarely offers anything more than an exaggerated echo of a political reality dominated by religious war. Somehow, the secular age seems to have been replaced by a new era, where political action flows directly from metaphysical conflict. The Faith of the Faithless asks how we might respond.

The first time Omar Amr got in the pool in front of the Olympic water polo coach, he said it was possibly the most humiliating moment he had ever experienced. He hadn't made the invitation-only tryout list for the U.S. team, and it was beyond embarrassing to just show up unannounced.
He was a recent UC Irvine biology graduate who would eventually attend Harvard Medical School, finish his medical residency at UCI and go on to become an Orange County emergency room doctor and start his own business.
But in the late 90s, none of that was on his mind. He just wanted to compete in the Olympics.
"I was kind of the kid who showed up but didn't get invited to the party," Amr said. "I wouldn't leave and I just sat there on the deck, just watching them. It was so humiliating, but I had to try."
He was feeling impetuous. He thought he could change coach Ratko Rudic's mind if there was a chance to be seen in action. After sitting on the sidelines the entire practice, doing nothing, he made a run for it – or rather, a swim.
The other athletes were swimming sets of 200 meters. Amr knew he had the ability, the strength, and the speed. He walked to the edge of the pool and got in the water. Everyone there already knew he wasn't on the list.
"(Ratko's) just looking at me, and I told Ratko 'I'm going to do this, I'm going to swim this set,'" Amr said. "When I finished, Ratko turns to the other coaches and says, 'Why did you not invite him for this camp?"
It was a bold move and wasn't the first time Amr had done something like that. And it wasn't the last. Eventually he would be faced with choosing between going to Harvard and competing in the Olympics. Instead of choosing one or the other, he chose both – at the same time – which required him to be on a different side of the country every week.
Omar Amr grew up in Fullerton, attending Sunny Hills High School. His father had been a swimmer for the Egyptian national team. The Amr kids practically grew up in the water, swimming since they were babies.
In junior high, Amr was in a water polo club program and in high school he joined the school team. Early on he was small – 5-feet 1-inch, 91 pounds and a self-described late bloomer. In the course of a year in high school, he gained weight and sprouted up to 5 feet 8 inches, eventually topping out at 5 feet 11 inches.
For college, he initially wanted to go to Berkeley, but the family didn't have the money to send him away. They pushed him towards UCI. It was closer to home and came with a better price tag. It was a late decision, so he missed the try-out for the UCI water polo team, but he was self-assured that he could simply walk on.
In a portent of what he would later do to get on the Olympic team, Amr showed up at the water polo practice and told the coach, "I'm going to play for you."
He got in the pool. Within five minutes, he got punched in the face and it broke his nose.
"I got beat up; they let me know where I stood," said Amr.
Amr thought he didn't stand a chance at the team – until they broke from game-practice and started doing swim sprints. He showed his speed in the water and from that day on, every day and night was book-ended with UC Irvine water polo.

You're sort of judging her by anime fan anime version. o_o
Um, she is only 15 and born in a different generation then most of the girls, so what do you expect?
I cant help but dislike it when people do this, saying she is 'immature'. Arent we all once in a while?
She is 18 in the ending and fully grown, so you cant complain over that anymore.
Kagome FTW, and believe that.
Also Sesshoumaru and Kagome actually talked in the manga.
He saved her from Inuyasha, so yeah, that is a great couple. n___n
I dont know Spanish, but this was in the manga and hes saying 'let her go'.
Um... there are more SessKag scenes in the manga but I dont want to spoil

I would be really grateful if anyone could advise me here. I'm fairly new to knitting and I want to knit a nice simple lace border for a sweater. I found this:
So I tried a test piece, repeating the pattern twice, and ended up with this:
What's gone wrong????
Many thanks
Very pretty pattern. Make sure you're doing the yarn over correctly.
It doesn't use a stitch, it occurs between stitches.
Hi Sheffer,
I am a lace knitter from way back. Your knitting may not be the problem. I have seen this leaf border before. It is commonly used as a shawl or towel edging. However most of the leaf patterns don't use a K2tog decrease to get that ridge in the center. The type of decrease that is shown in the picture looks more like a slipped double decrease known as Slip 2, Knit 1, pass the two slipped stitches back over the one stitch you just knit. It is often abbreviated as S2K1 P2SSO.
I have a couple of questions for you.
1. Where did you find the pattern? Check back with the source and see if there is a listing for an error correction. No matter how stringent a site or book is proofread, errors do pop up and they are not found until you actually try to work the pattern.
2. How many stitches is the pattern repeated over? When I do a sample swatch of a pattern that I am going to use in a design, I repeat it over at least 4 and sometimes 5 repeats to get a feel for how the pattern will lay when I block it and how repetitive the pattern is.
One last note, this pattern is often knit onto a finished piece by using the edge of the bound off piece as the first stitch in the row. It is also a pattern that works best in fairly light wt. yarns or threads. If you are looking for a lacy edge for a sweater and you are using a DK or worsted wt yarn, I would suggest looking up the pattern for Feather and Fan Lace. It is a very simple lace pattern worked over 12 or 18 stitches depending on which one you find and it is a straight 4 row repeat, so you can begin the sweater and sleeves with this pattern and easily transition into stockinette or other stitches that you plan on using for the main body of the sweater.
If you don't have any luck finding the pattern, leave a message for me here and I will be glad to get it to you.
Ravenwood Designs
Try using just 12 stitches. I did that and it came out fine. The 12 stitches are just one repeat of the pattern - not sure why they tell you to repeat more than that - doesn't make sense to me. Not knowing how many stitches they tell you to cast on I had to make an educated guess, and looking at the picture of the trim provided it appears to be only the 12 stitches.
Let us know if you get it worked out.
Hi Sheffer,
I agree with Mary re the yarn you are using in the pic. It is not going to show up your lacey pattern well because of its weight. Unless you were to go up needle sizes, but the pattern looks bettern in a lighter weight yarn. In other words, that yarn in your pic will not show up the stitch definition as well. Your yarn is more suitable to the feather and fan or a chevron pattern of that sort. http://knitting.about.com/od/stitchglossary/g/feather_fan.htm Here is a pic of one. You can try a swatch in a light weight yarn so you can see the difference. Also, when doing lace if not paying attn it is so easy to misread your stitches, especially if you've been working at it for awhile and you get tired. Sometimes I'll be knitting along and it says k3 and I'll end up doing a k3tog, or leave of the y/o next to the p1. When I start to daydream I make errors. Hope you can work this out.
And all the women who were wise of heart spun with their hands, and they kept bringing as yarn the blue thread and the wool dyed reddish purple, the coccus scarlet material and the fine linen. Ex. 35:25
Hi Mary, She found it here http://www.knittingfool.com/pages/stCatalog2.guest.cfm?StitchID=2275&name=Small%20Leaf%20Edging&numofst=12&stplus=0&rows=8&rplus=0&sym=
I knit a swatch as patterns reads. Then I changed yarns and got this result. The ridge in the leaf stands out a little better. The yarn makes a big difference. I used some scrap baby yarn in a light yellow which made it a little difficult to show up the pattern but if you can see it in this light color it would show up more in a different lighting. Trying a different yarn which is not too fuzzy would help out as well. The fuzz eats up the stitch definition. Maybe even a lightweight cotton yarn would show the stitches better for you. But the pattern is correct, I followed it exactly as it reads.
That looks more like the leaf pattern I am familiar with. I like the eyelet row at the top and the bottom of the swatch. You just gave me an idea for a new design element in my next lace layout.
Hi Mary,
I just added a plain 4 sts (2 stitches at each end), slipping the first stitch at beg of each row, knit the next, then did the pattern as it reads, and finishing that row with a k2. On each successive row the same thing. I just did it so I would have something to pin down for the pic. What are you going to make?
Looking at Sheffers' sample knit it seems as though the y/o's are being omitted. Chewchew, it seems that the repeat is going lengthwise as you already know, so one could make the strip any length needed thus the repeats on the 12 stitches as many as you need, but you could also make it wider by doubling the 12 stitches for the leaf or tripling, etc. and/or putting a couple stitches between each of the leaves.
I currently have 2 designs on the drawing board. One is a rectangular wrap done in cables and lace, I may incorporate the eyelet into the lace sections or as part of the borders. The other piece I have on the drawing board is a pair of gauntlet style gloves and matching cowl done in the feather and fan pattern. Feather and Fan happen to be one of my favorites because you can use markers to keep track of the repeats and since it repeats over 4 rows, it goes fairly quick. The yarn I am using is called Shadow. It is a 100% merino wool lace weight sold by Knit Picks and comes in a wide variety of luscious colors. They also have it in their Bare collection that they sell for hand dying. I just finished a horseshoe lace shawl using the bare. It is now lying on blocking pads on my bed to keep the puppies away from it. I will be taking pictures of it and as soon as I figure out how to post them, I will post one for you to see.
Hi Mary,
I love using markers too. When I was in the lys earlier this week one of the knitters couldn't understand why she was getting so frustrated with keeping track of her stitch repeats. Since I had my shawl project in a clear zip back I took it out to show her where I had placed the markers at intervals to help keep count. They are so helpful & without them, I would drive myself nuts. Knitting is relaxing but if you are constantly worrying about counting then it is not. I love Chevron for similar reason you love Feather & Fan. So fun to do. I love to plan out my color changes or try out self striping yarn on these patterns. I'll take a look at your yarn on knit picks - i love to see the colors it is available in.
Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate your eyelet into pattern. If you need direction on posting pic how to here is how.

Thanks for the info. Here goes. This is the shawl I did. The pattern is horseshoe lace, a common element found in Shetland Lace knitting.
Ignore the date stamp, I forgot to reset my camera. Blond moment (I'm a redhead!).
hi mary!
I missed this post of yours. Have not been on for a while, but glad I came across your beautiful shawl. Wow it looks quite abundant to wrap yourself up in. I love it! It's always good to have enough fabric rather than too little. Quite one of my pet peeves. But this is truly lovely and thank you for sharing. I am putting up the pics I finally took of last projects over in the other thread.
Thank you ZassZ. As my hubby said on Facebook after I posted it there, In person it is quite striking. I'm just glad to finally get it done. I have made myself sit down and finish my UFOs before I start any more projects. I am almost done with that. I finished the Entrelac pillow I was making last night and I am finishing a pair of socks.

Column: Are you ready for some bowls?! We aren't
Monday - 12/3/2012, 7:49pm EST
By PAUL NEWBERRY
AP National Writer
(AP) - This college football bowl season is like a brand of Chex Mix that comes with a bunch of nuts you don't really care to eat.
Sure, there's a handful of enticing matchups that are worthy of your time for three or so hours. But by the time you're done picking through to the good ones, you realize there's not much left.
Well, there are other things to do this holiday season.
Like, go ice skating.
Or, check out all the pretty lights.
Whatever it is, there's never been a better reason to spend some time _ some real quality time _ with your friends and family.
Believe us, you won't be missing a thing if you tune out what will soon be running virtually nonstop on your plasma screen, in all its high-def ugliness. This is nothing more than a bunch of meaningless contests between mediocre teams, a lineup that that makes "Honey Boo Boo" look like "Downton Abbey."
Call it Must-Miss TV.
The guys who run the system clearly take us as nothing but a bunch of suckers, willing to watch whatever drivel they put before us as long they attach the word "bowl" to some product they're pushing.
When the complete list of bowls was finally unveiled in all its glory Sunday night, most of the attention turned to Northern Illinois, a team that somehow made the Orange Bowl after losing to Iowa (which won 33 percent of its games) and barely beating Army and Kansas (who combined for a grand total of three victories).
But let's not take out our wrath on the ... uh, hmmm ... whatever their nickname is. We should actually be saluting the MAC champs, because they're like a single minnow swimming ahead bravely to take on the BCS sharks, all while making an already ludicrous system look even sillier.
Besides, there's plenty of bowl games that are far more objectionable than the one in Miami between the Seminoles of Florida State and the ... uh, hmm ... oh yeah, the Huskies, that's it, of Northern Illinois.
The good folks of El Paso will be subjected to a Sun Bowl featuring a team with a losing record (Georgia Tech) and perhaps the most underachieving squad in all the land (USC).
The Yellow Jackets (6-7) needed a waiver from the NCAA before they could accept their invitation. The Trojans lost five times after starting the season at No. 1.
"We're excited about a very good bowl and a great matchup," said USC coach Lane Kiffin, who we can only assume awoke the next morning to find his nose had grown by a foot or two.
But, who knows, maybe one of Kiffin's minions will go all rogue again and deflate the tires on the team buses. That way, they can't leave their hotels and no one would have to be subjected to such a marquee matchup.
Though, we must say, this game might have some car-crash appeal if held in conjunction with a Kiffin family reunion. The bratty coach already dumped his 72-year-old dad because of the team's defensive woes, and he surely would be willing to jettison a few more relatives if the Trojans lost again.
Georgia Tech, meanwhile, was blown out at home by Middle Tennessee, lost its final regular-season game by 32 points and wound up with a losing record after getting into the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game by default, the next team in line after Miami decided to spend another postseason in self-imposed lockdown.
Even after losing the ACC game, the Yellow Jackets still got the call that extended their bowl streak to 16 years in a row.
Talk about an achievement worthy of an asterisk.
But, this isn't about one particular school. There's plenty of averageness to go around.
A dozen teams received bowl bids with records of 6-6, which is often the sort of mark that gets a coach fired, not earns his team a trip at the holidays. (Or, in the case of Purdue, was bowl-worthy AND got the coach fired).
In fact, there are two games matching a pair of 6-6 teams _ Rice vs Air Force in the Armed Services Bowl at Fort Worth (sorry, our men and women in uniform) and Pittsburgh vs. Ole Miss in the BBVA Compass Bowl at Birmingham.
When those kind of teams get together, they're hoping you throw out the record book.
Instead, you should change the channel.

If you don't know exactly what you have to offer, you're already selling yourself short.
That's the philosophy behind an initiative to create a comprehensive database of the vacant and underutilized commercial properties in the entire city of Syracuse.
As of May, the Division of Code Enforcement listed 1,650 vacant buildings in the city. In December, that number had ticked up to 1,863.
"Our goal is to know the story on every piece of commercial property in the city," said Ben Walsh, the city's deputy commissioner of Neighborhood and Business Development. "We want to be the central clearinghouse of information."
Keeping up to date on that number, plus the number of properties that are used but not to their full potential, will be no small task. Using resources that already exist Walsh is optimistic that the department will be able to compile and maintain an up-to-date record of commercial properties
No small task
This is a giant undertaking, Walsh recognized, and one that has not been attempted before in Syracuse.
"Previously and for good reason we've primarily depended on the real estate community" to keep track of available properties, Walsh said.
But knowing the full depth of the problem of empty storefronts and unused commercial space will be critical in solving the problem.
"Having the information is the important part because you need to have the information before you can identify what the challenges are," Walsh said.
It's a method that worked for the Downtown Committee, a not-for-profit that essentially exists to promote living and working in the downtown district of Syracuse.
In 1997, the Downtown Committee released its first economic development report and launched its own database of commercial properties within the district, providing a working model for the city-wide clearinghouse.
The Downtown Committee's Director of Economic Development Merike Treier said having access to that kind of comprehensive clearinghouse allows the Downtown Committee to act as a matchmaker between interested parties, like potential developers, and private real estate brokers.

He is the 33rd Chief Secretary of the State
Kaushik Mukherjee on Thursday assumed charge as the 33 Chief Secretary.
Outgoing Chief Secretary S.V. Ranganath handed over charge to Mr. Mukherjee at the Chief Secretary's office in the Vidhana Soudha amid congratulations from senior officers of different departments.
Mr. Ranganath, who assumed office in September 2009 retired from service after two extensions — first on the concurrence of the Election Commission (owing to elections to the Legislative Assembly) and then by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah after he formed the government.
Addressing presspersons soon after taking charge, Mr. Mukherjee said that "mining in forest areas with permission is legal" and the "Bellary mining scam is a small dot in the country".
Mining with government's permission would be allowed in the forest regions of the State. Mining has to be activated to cater to the requirements of the industry which was about 30 million tonnes in the State, he said.
Mr. Mukherjee said that encroachment of government land or forest land was illegal and this would not be tolerated.
Nearly 40,000 hectares of forest land has been encroached upon, the Chief Secretary said.
Mr. Mukherjee, who was born on September 8, 1955 in Kolkata in West Bengal, said, "The government will take all steps to prevent migration of people from villages to urban areas seeking jobs."
He would make efforts to increase income of dry land, small and marginal farmers, he said.
Tenure of officials
About the Supreme Court verdict favouring fixed tenure for Indian Administrative Service officers, he said that the verdict is to be followed by both the Union and State governments.
The Supreme Court on Thursday held that bureaucrats should not act on verbal orders given by political bosses and sought an end to frequent transfers and suggested a fixed tenure to insulate them from political interference. "I have to study the judgment. But the court verdict has to be implemented. Transfer of officials is one of the administrative functions to ensure efficiency," he said. The Supreme Court said that Parliament must enact a law to regulate postings, transfers and disciplinary action against bureaucrats.

I have a 3d object which in its simplest form consists of an origin in 3d space and a set of vertices that are all local to this origin.
I then transform this 3d origin into 2d camera coordinates using a perspective transform, but I need some way to also transform the local vertices of this object which has the effect of moving this 3d object from 3d world coordinates into 3d camera coordinates.
How can I determine the scale of an object based on it's distance from the viewer/camera?
I hope this makes sense, the title is probably the most concise explanation I can give. Any help would be very appreciated.

The kids, about 6 or 7 of them, allowed to play hockey etc...... in the hallway outside my room for more than an hour the second nite while the front desk said they were powerless to stop it. I checked out at about 9:30 and went to a much quieter Marriott

America's Cup Segway Rentals from Bay Area Segway and Segway of Oakland
Segway of Oakland and Bay Area Segway are offering special rental rates of $75 per day through July and August for the America's Cup.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 31, 2013
Segway is offering special rental rates for America's Cup related activities during July and August. "We're doing rentals at $75 for 24 hours whereas our normal rate is $99 a day," said Darren Romar from Bay Area Segway and Segway of Oakland. "The America's Cup is associated with Green Businesses and there is no business more focused on being green than Segway," continued Romar
In celebration of the America' Cup event, Segway of Oakland is distributing materials related to green transportation at locations throughout the Bay Area.
The Segway PT is the first self balancing vehicle. It is one of the world's most efficient vehicles and it has no emissions. Segways are sold throughout the world and are used by many different types of organizations. They are sold to both the commercial and consumer market, and they are also a recreational vehicle used for fun and entertainment.
"Several Segway tours are available at the waterfront in San Francisco where spectators follow the America's cup. We are renting Segways to several businesses for various kinds of activities conducted around the area where a lot of the America's cup activity will take place," said Romar.
Segways offer an extremely small footprint and they are great in crowds as well as parks and events which are spread out over large areas. Law enforcement commonly utilize the Segway at large events. Segway of Oakland and Bay Area Segway have rental units for businesses, officials, as well as spectators or tourists who are here for the America's Cup.
The Segway has virtually no noise but because you are standing on the unit, there is a lot of visibility making it the ideal for seeing or being seen at a large event. Romar said, "The Segway is the ultimate green machine because it is more efficient than any other electric vehicle. Due to it's extremely small size and ultra direct transfer of power, nothing beats the Segway."
So, if you're interested in highly efficient green vehicles you need to experience the Segway PT. Bay Area Segway and Segway of Oakland are the largest and oldest Segway dealers in Northern California. Call today at 1-888-8SEGWAY for more information about the ultimate green machine and visit http://www.segway.com and our website at http://www.segwayofoakland.com

Yelawolf - Box Chevy 5
Artist: Yelawolf
Producer: WLPWR [for SupaHotBeats]
Album: Love Story
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 11 votes )
Not up to speed on Yelawolf's Box Chevy saga? Here's a quick summary, so you can jump right into part 5: the Alabama native had a classic Chevrolet back in the day, which he f**king loved. As he got richer, he bought a whole grip more of them, and… yeah, that about covers it. Single numero uno off Yela's long-awaited sophomore album, the series' latest installment departs from the spacey production and introspective lyrics of its immediate precedecessor to offer a more classic Box Chevy experience. Constant collaborator Will Power's scintillating synth arpeggios and leisurely drums set the mood as Yela cruises along in his favorite whip, reflecting with satisfaction on the course of his career to date. Like what you're hearing? Then keep it locked for more fresh singles leading up to the release of Yelawolf's Love Story LP via Shady Records later this year.
Update: We have added the Potsy Ponciroli-directed visuals for Yelawolf's Box Chevy 5 single.

Eagle Sanctuary
Too often people visit the Eagles Nest viewpoint and the underground bunker system without realising there is another attraction in this area. We spotted this eagle sanctuary by accident whilst waiting for the bus back to Berchtesgaden and am glad we did so. Several species of eagle and owl can be seen here and its worth a short stop.
Entrance was free but donations welcome!
A nice hike can be made through the Wimbachtal, reaching the gorge in 15 minute. Water gushes through the gorge which is accessed by a series of steps and walkways so the waterfalls tumbling down its steep cliffs can be enjoyed. Allow 1 hour to reach the Wimbach castle and to reach the Wimbach-Gries-Hutte in another 1.5 hours. Bear in mind that the gorge is usually only passable betwwen May-Oct. There is a small entrance fee too.
From Ramsau its a pleasant walk through the Zauberwald - the so-called Magic Forest - to the idyllic lake of Hintersee with its turquoise water. Popular with bathers in the summer months -although you'll probably share some pastures with the cows!
The Hintersee is beautifully situated at the foot of the Hochkalter (2,608 m). Lovely reflections of the mountain here made it a popular place for painters from Vienna and Munich round 1871.
Walk off the beaten path and swim in this pool (Adults - 7.70 Euro's for 2 hrs, 10,20 Euro's for 4 hrs). It is soooooooo relaxing I could have stayed for days!!
There are several thermal pools (one with a small water slide) catering for the thermal water lovers. You can also have a sauna (I think it costs extra). There are plenty of wooden recliners dotted around to relax on, but the best bit (aside from the waterslide) has to be the outside thermal pool. It is quite small but has a rotation of three water jets (lots of bubbles).
Go hiking!
The landscape and countryside of Berchtesgaden is so beautiful and inviting. Going hiking is fantastic and will give you an idea of just how amazing this area is.

Don't Miss the Marmotts
Also in the eagle sanctuary are marmotts. These alpine creatures are some of my favourite animals and it was great to get a close up view of these cuties ;-)

Bernhardt excels at applying streaky mixtures of glitter, thin acrylic, and pearlescent paint in quick brush strokes on stark white grounds. She's great at painting big '80s hair. Less than two years out of the School of Visual Arts, Bernhardt has a two-gallery, 36-painting mini-extravaganzaher second solo effort in 18 months. The first, at Team, was as promising as it was offbeat. Loaded with slapdash paintings and scribbly drawings of E.T., Kobe Bryant, and Nikes, along with several blaring abstractions and a bevy of fashion portraits, the show displayed a wildly inspired amateurishness.
Bernhardt's current double show evinces the same wildness, though tempered somewhat by ambition. At Team, Nighttime Thong (all works are dated 2001) is a savage redux of a Cosmo cover featuring Jennifer Lopez in a revealing blue bra and polka-dot panties. Bernhardt turns the singer into a possessed devil diva, painting a white star between her eyes à la Manson and giving her an unruly mane of blond and brown hair. Similarly, a portrait of Cher with a butterfly in her curls makes this perennial screwball look all the more disturbing. Elsewhere, Björk is transformed into a contortionist ballerina. A serene beach scene, as bland as any by Alex Katz, shows that Bernhardt is capable of many moods. Unfortunately, two large paintingsone of a fully clothed girl in bed, another after a Versace adsuffer from the increase in scale, which overpowers her technical prowess. And the girl in bed recalls coy, British "neurotic realist" Martin Maloney. Still, the smaller Freckled Girl, with serpentine locks and too much eye shadow, has a real "Rebel, rebel, your face is a mess" tartiness.
Modern Culture at the Gershwin Hotel
3 East 27th Street
Through December 26
Many of Bernhardt's recent pictures of women reveal a love-hate relationship with femininity and beauty. Unlike Karen Kilimnik, whose approach to glamour and fashion is much more that of an ingenious shrinking violet, Bernhardt cops a more petulant, bitchy, and skeptical attitude. Her hand is also freer: Her technique is so unrestrained she might seem to share traits with mega-renegade Sigmar Polke. But Polke is more experimental, cosmic, ambivalent, and detached. He's an iconoclast. Bernhardt's all about enthusiasm, animosity, freedom, and play.
Like Polke, Bernhardt has a real feel for abstraction. Except for one luminous fireworks-like image, this gift isn't enough in evidence at Team. But at Modern Culturethe better of the two shows because the paintings are smaller, more packed together, and not as oriented toward portraiturethere are several stunning quasi-abstractions. Of these, Art Deco Scotsman, a brightly colored, psychedelic pattern painting with two Scotties; Young Olympians, a combination of bright McDonald's logos and interlocking Olympic rings; and Pinkness, which features floating M shapes on a pinkish ground, are all aces and look like the love children of abstract expressionism and pop. A fellow Bernhardt admirer, painter Cheryl Doneganwho, in her own process-oriented, cerebral way, fits into the rowdy-painting categorycalls Bernhardt "the fucked-up daughter of Rothko and Warhol."
Which suggests another comparison. Bernhardtalong with Donegan; Jutta Koether; L.A. painter Mari Eastman; the blunter rookie, Karen Heagle, whose capable debut is currently up at 31 Grand in Williamsburg; Dana Schutz, whose loosey-goosey paintings looked enchanting at P.S.1 last month; and Tracy Nakayama, maker of cute nudie watercolorsmay be updating the idea of the prodigious male '80s painter. All of them have retrieved a trace of the elusive, unstrung Martin Kippenberger gene and have forsaken fussiness. Rather than portentous subject matter and egocentric behavior, this crew relishes the technical bravado associated with '80s painting but eschews the theatricality and self-promotion. And while painters like John Currin and Lisa Yuskavage are rightly lauded for their "skill," these women are looking into alternative definitions of the term.
All of these artistsand a handful of male paintersare interested in the crude, the physical, the personal, and the voracious. Praising them is not advocating a return to the excesses of neo-expressionism or a revival of bad East Village painting. But wildness should always be welcome in the art worldespecially when it's not the affected or obnoxious kind. As for Bernhardt and her ilk, I don't know if any of them will be starstheir work may be too out-there, brash, and free for that; some of it's even ugly. Nonetheless, the art world would be a better place if it could see them all shine.

Say Hello!
I grew up in San Diego, I was born in the Philippines, I still go back home every so often. I have two kids and they mean the world to me, I figure you gotta like me for who I am and there's nothing i need to hide, so if you don't like it, then i guess it's not worth reading the rest right!! I look at everyday as a new day and if I had a bad day the day before it's an opportunity for me to make the next day better. I am a strong person and consider myself independent. I don't play games and really don't like the drama. I like too hang out with my friends, and spend time with my family. It doesn't mean your in a relationship you need to be with each other 24/7. people have their own lives too. But it's a plus to consider me to be a part of it. I guess my ideal match would be someone who is real and true to them self, someone who doesn't put up a front, someone I can trust, loving, honest and sincere. Someone who's sweet and can hold a conversation. Someone who is funny and does things out of the ordinary. Someone to spend a nice quiet dinner with and watch a movie. Quality time is i guess what I'm trying to get at. I like taking trips and if it means just going away for a day, Surprise me!
