The Game Behind the Game: Just How Smart was Billy Martin?
The following is a passage from Bill Pennington's book, "Billy Martin: Baseball's Flawed Genius," which I'm thoroughly enjoying. It's indicative of just how much we don't see during a baseball game; and how much some people do see:
The Dodgers manager was Billy's mentor from the 1949 Oakland Oaks, Charlie Dressen, who had taught Billy many of his sign-stealing secrets. In the top of the fifth inning [of Game 4 of the 1952 World Series], with the Yankees ahead 1–0, the Dodgers had runners at second and third with one out and pitcher Joe Black at the plate.
Dressen, as he had been in Oakland, was also the Dodgers' third-base coach. From his position at second base, Billy watched closely as Dressen flashed a flurry of signals at Black. Dressen's tempo and movements in the coach's box quickened, which Dressen—watching opposing managers—had always said was a tip-off that some kind of play was on. Sizing up the situation, Billy suspected a suicide squeeze and got Yogi Berra's attention behind the plate. He made a fist, turned his hand upside down, and waved it slightly—the sign for a pitchout. Berra crouched and made the same signal to Yankees pitcher Allie Reynolds.
The pitch was appropriately wide of the plate, and Black could not reach it with his bat as he attempted to bunt. Berra then easily tagged out the Dodgers' Andy Pafko, who had dashed toward home plate on the pitch. The suicide squeeze had failed. The Dodgers never scored in the game, losing 2–0.
"Tell me another player who would have seen that?" Stengel asked reporters afterward. "That's why he's my winner."
Stengel and his winner, with a couple of schmoes in the background.

Harvey's Ladies' and Gentlemen's Oyster Saloon
Here's a nice section from Ben Macintyre's "A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal":
Harvey's Ladies' and Gentlemen's Oyster Saloon started serving steamed oysters, broiled lobster, and crab imperial in 1820 and had continued to do so, in colossal quantities, ever since. In 1863, notwithstanding the Civil War, Harvey's diners were getting through five hundred wagonloads of oysters a week. Every president since Ulysses S. Grant had dined there, and the restaurant enjoyed an unrivaled reputation as the place to be seen for people of power and influence. The black waiters in pressed white uniforms were discreet, the martinis potent, the napkins stiff as cardboard, and the tables spaced far enough apart to ensure privacy for the most secret conversations. Ladies entered by a separate entrance and were not permitted in the main dining room. Most evenings, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover could be seen at his corner table, eating with Clyde Tolson, his deputy and possibly his lover. Hoover was said to be addicted to Harvey's oysters; he never paid for his meals.
Interesting: ladies get first billing but separate entrance and no main dining room.
Here's a little history of Harvey's, which "no longer exists in the city." (That second photo of the exterior looks like something out of a Wes Anderson movie.) This piece suggests Harvey's does exist; it simply "relocated to the suburbs," but it doesn't say which suburbs.

How the Great Soviet Spy was Undone by the Soviets
I recently finished Ben Macintyre's much-recommended and compelling piece of history, "A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal," which focuses mostly on the friendship between Philby and MI6's Nicholas Elliott during the 1930s, '40s and '50s, as Britain fought World War II and then the Cold War, while Philby, a Soviet spy recruited at Cambridge, fought both war for the U.S.S.R.
First, this needs to be a movie, and soon, with Colin Firth as one of the two leads. The section in which Philby is stationed in Washington, D.C., and charming information out of compatriots from MI6, MI5, the CIA and the FBI at Harvey's Ladies' and Gentlemen's Oyster Saloon, while the information he's extracting leads to the deaths of numerous nationalists dropped in to combat communism at home, is already a heart-wrenching montage. Macintyre makes you see it: the drinking and laughter on the one hand, the sudden deaths on rocky cliffs on the other.
Second, you cringe a bit as you read the book, since our side is so badly duped. You think: How could the Soviets have been so much smarter than us?
Answer: They weren't. Macintyre doesn't say it outright, but the biggest blunder in this entire decades-long drama was a Soviet blunder.
That's saying something, by the way, since the West was completely schnookered here. Philby was so Etonian, so Cambridge, so properly British that no one suspected him. (Except for J. Edgar Hoover, but Hoover suspected everyone.) And even after they suspected him—this is the beauty of it—and suspended him, and thought of prosecuting him, he was able, years later, to worm his way back into the fold. In the mid-'50s he became an MI6 agent again in Beirut, with a journalist cover. He was only finally "caught" for B.S. reasons. Flora Solomon (who created the welfare dept. at Marks & Spencer, and whose son founded Amnesty International in 1961) fingered him less because he tried to recruit her to the Soviet side at Cambridge in the 1930s than because, as a Zionist, she thought his reporting from Beirut was too pro-Arab. And down he went.
Even so, even in ths tragicomedy of errors, the Soviets committed the biggest error of all.
By 1951, one of their agents, British diplomat Donald Maclean, had been fingered by the West as a Soviet spy, and to spirit him out of the country they used another British spy, Guy Burgess, who was, according to Macintryre, gay, a heavy drinker, and rarely diplomatic. Two for one, they thought. Bring in Maclean, whom the West was about to pounce on, and Burgess, who, given his lifestyle, could only last so long.
The problem? Maclean had only tangential connection to Philby, their best spy. But Burgess had actually lived in Philby's house in D.C. So when Burgess defected with Maclean, all eyes turned inevitably toward Philby.
Think of it. You had Philby stationed at the epicenter of western power, and being groomed for high rank in MI6. Some thought he might lead MI6 someday. He was a star. And the Soviets turned him into a suspect. And his career was never the same.
BTW: If anyone knows a good book on the Venona code-breaking operation, let me know.

Tinker Tailor, Elliott Philby
"Over-suspicion can sometimes have more tragic results than over-credulity. His tragedy was that he was so often deceived by his own ingenuity, and the consequences were disastrous."
-- MI6's Nicholas Elliott on CIA counterpart James Angleton, who became paranoid and trusted no one after it was revealed that their mutual friend, Kim Philby, had, for the entire length of their friendship, been a Soviet spy, as recounted in Ben Macintyre's excellent book, "A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Greaty Betrayal," which I finished this morning. More later. In the meantime, I realized, after reading the afterword by John Le Carré, that the two parts of the main relationship in the book (Elliott and Philby) have been played, more or less, by Colin Firth. He was (SPOILER ALERT) the Philbyesque traitor in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"; and he played a supercharged version of Elliott, the Etonian, well-mannered, well-tailored MI6 agent, in this year's "Kingsman."
Sweathog Again
"The disco music shifts to the Bee Gees, white men who have done this wonderful thing of making themselves sound like black women. 'Stay' Alive' comes on with all that amplified throbbleo and a strange nasal whining underneath: the John Travolta theme song. Rabbit still thinks of him as one of the Sweathogs from Mr. Kotter's class but for awhile back there last summer the U.S.A. was one hundred percent his, every twat under fifteen wanting to be humped by a former Sweathog in the back seat of a car parked in Brooklyn."
-- part of Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom's driving-home musings in the summer of '79, in John Updike's 1981 novel, "Rabbit is Rich." I thought of this passage after last night's doubly odd showing from John Travolta: both on the red carpet with Scarlett Johansson (below), and on stage with Idina Menzel. I think John needs another talk with Quentin Tarantino. Maybe QT (who's got issues of his own) could at least get him to lose the rug.
Sweathog again.

The young attendant grabs the hose and proceeds the fill up someone else !!?
I wait, and then try again. Once more, nothing works. He asks if I want to pay by card, confirming that, Im told to punch in my PIN.
That wont work with a German card! Always the Germansnothing but trouble
Some back and forth, we settle on cash.
Petra asks him if he doesnt like Germans . No, hates them!
Handing over the change he drops (deliberately) some coins to the floor he also hangs onto part of the change as a tip!!!
By now I had enough and insisted on all of it, last time ever Ive stopped at this place!
The Andermatt- Göschenen stretch calmed the nerves again.
Here a beautiful, narrow road climbs to the Göscheneralp (1797 m) ab, a little side-trip NOT to be missed. Everyone enjoyed the winding and traffic-free asphalt crowned by a good Cappuccino.

It can't be overpowered when you can only have ONE at a time and is taking your elite spot meaning you can't have your GoR to keep verata's going constantly. I am actually thinking I might NOT use this skill because I'd rather use the elite for GoR or something else, and I'd hate to use a skill that can only produce 1 minion at a time. Oh I also heard it attacks slightly slower, so it wouldn't even deal much damage.

Food Movement in US Encourages Local Buying
By Lisa Lambert
WASHINGTON — For the last two years, California bookstore manager Sage Van Wing has helped organize the Eat Local Challenge where, for one month, participants only buy food produced within 100 miles of their homes.
She is one of many people across the United States who are joining the burgeoning local food movement.
In 2005, 400 people signed up on the project's Web site, she said. This May, more than 1,000 took part.
"I think it's becoming more and more obvious that if there's no longer a cheap source of oil, then a lot of things need to change in this country," Van Wing said. "And one of the things that needs to change is the food-distribution system — the way food is grown and the way food is distributed."
Those who buy locally count "food miles" instead of calories and speak of finding dinner fixings in the "foodshed" instead of supermarket.
"You're buying items without a bar code," said New Yorker Brian Halweil, author of "Eat Here," about getting meat and produce at farmers' markets or delivered from farm co-operatives. "When you buy local, there tends to be fewer brokers and middle people in the chain."
He defines "foodshed" as the sphere of land and businesses that provides a region with food, as a watershed does with water. Food miles are the distances edibles travel from farm to final sale. The Leopold Center, for example, estimates strawberry yogurt sold in Des Moines, Iowa, registers 2,216 food miles from its ingredients' combined journeys.
Those trumpeting buying local say high food miles lead to more air and water pollution. They also contend local food is not processed to withstand long journeys and therefore retains more nutrients.
Weil gives the example of an American supermarket selling New Zealand apples.
"When you buy that apple, you're not paying for the petroleum, the pollution. You're not paying a range of environmental, social and health costs in shipping that apple a long distance," he said.
Local officials from Woodbury County, Iowa, also hope buying local will help staunch the economic bleeding of the American Midwest and reinvigorate county farms. Local food is being served at its jail, juvenile hall and work-release center. The county is creating a system to help institutions such as hospitals follow suit.
"We spend $208 million here annually in food … if you can get 10 percent of that, you're talking about $20 million being added into your local economy that you're shipping out right now," the county's rural economic development director, Rob Marquesee, said.
Socially conscious eaters now face a dilemma of whether to buy local produce or "organic" food that may have come from thousands of miles away, said Samuel Fromartz, author of the book "Organic, Inc."
When organic food was a fringe idea, its farmers couldn't reach large markets and demand was too small for mass distribution. Now, U.S. shoppers can pick up organics from China or Chile at chain supermarkets.
The buy-local movement will have to create a distribution system that gets food as easily into shoppers' grocery bags as organic food, Fromartz said.
"You can make the best argument in the world for a consumer," he said, "if they don't feel it works for them from a practical view, they aren't going to do it."
Or it may be taste that convinces shoppers to change.
The restaurant Komi in Washington, D.C., works to buy local items according to the seasons, said its chef and owner Johnny Monis, because mass-produced food does not deliver the restaurant's signature fresh and simple flavors.
"Tomatoes from California in the winter don't taste how tomatoes should taste," he said.

Series Description: This series focuses on contemporary visual art and artists in the United States. Each episode profiles three to four artists. In short segments, featured artists speak directly to the audience in their own words, reflecting on their lives, sources of inspiration, and working processes. Profiled artists include painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, installation and video artists, as well as artists working with new media, environmental or public issues, and hybrid forms. Filmed in their studios, homes, and exhibition spaces, these artists demonstrate the full breadth of artistic practice across the country and reveal the depth of inter-generational and multicultural talent.
All Episodes
Place (#101)
With an introduction and video art by Laurie Anderson, this program considers the influence of place -- physical, conceptual or psychological; regional, national or transnational -- on such artists as Richard Serra, whose massive rolled-steel plates carve private moments out of public spaces; Sally Mann, whose photographs record the historical scars and romanticism latent in the landscape of the South; Barry McGee and Margaret Kilgallen, two San Francisco-based artists whose works blend elements of social realist murals and folk traditions with graffiti and other urban symbols; and Pepon Osorio, whose sculptural assemblages and installations are intimately tied to location, evoking the survival of communities across borders. [85 minutes]
Spirituality (#102)
This hour addresses the continuing examination of the spiritual in art and life. James Turrell's works are investigated as they relate to and depart from his Quaker heritage, and through the idea of light as a metaphor for the spiritual. Ann Hamilton's installations, which often feature a solitary figure attending to a task, evoke not only a sense of mortality and quiet meditation, but also awe. The labor-intensive miniature paintings of Shahzia Sikander combine figurative and abstract elements from both the Muslim and Hindu faiths. And the books, sculptures and installations of John Feodorov whimsically examine New Age assumptions about Native-American spirituality. [56 minutes]
Identity (#103)
With an introduction created by Steve Martin and William Wegman, this episode examines how artists confront the questions "Who am I?" and "Who are we?" in a pluralistic, multicultural world. Kerry James Marshall's paintings and installations emerge from his deep ties to family, as well as his lifelong study of art history. Louise Bougeois' work echoes some of today's most pressing social issues, including childhood trauma and the importance of memory. The densely psychological videos of Bruce Nauman examine the relationships among artist, viewer and society. And the work of Maya Lin, who achieved national fame when her now-famous design was selected for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC, seeks to make a place for individuals within the landscape. [85 minutes]
Stories (#201)
"Stories" features artists Trenton Doyle Hancock, Kiki Smith, Do-Ho Suh and Kara Walker. "Loss and Desire" features Collier Schorr, Gabriel Orozco and Janine Antoni. [111 minutes]
Time (#203)
Time" features Martin Puryear, Paul Pfeiffer, Tim Hawkinson and Vija Celmins. "Humor" features Eleanor Antin, Elizabeth Murray, Raymond Pettibon and Walton Ford. [113 minutes]
Power (#301)
From politics to mass media, the theme of power pervades daily life. The artists in this program -- Cai Guo-Qiang, Laylah Ali, Krzysztof Wodiczko and Ida Applebroog -- negotiate personal and cultural histories, re-imagine social space and challenge authority, oppression and control. David Alan Grier hosts. [56 minutes]
Memory (#302)
How does memory function? Who creates history? Whether commemorative, critical or irreverent, the artists in episode two -- Susan Rothenberg, Mike Kelley, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Josiah McElheny --delve into the past, transforming it and remaking it in their work. Isabella Rossellini hosts. [56 minutes]
Structures (#303)
How do we organize life? What are the ways in which we capture knowledge and attempt greater understanding? The artists in this episode -- Mathew Ritchie, Fred Wilson, Richard Tuttle and Roni Horn -- create systems, shift contexts and engage with perception, utilizing unconventional devices. Sam Waterston hosts. [56 minutes]
Play (#304)
Spontaneous, funny or subversive, play can take many forms. The artists in this episode -- Jessica Stockholder, Ellen Gallagher, Arturo Herrera and Oliver Herring -- improvise games, draw inspiration from dance and music, and employ color, pattern and movement to induce delight. Grant Hill hosts. [56 minutes]
Romance (#401)
Emotion plays a role in the art of Pierre Huyghe, Judy Pfaff, Lari Pittman and Laurie Simmons. [56 minutes]
Protest (#402)
Explores the ways contemporary artists picture war, express outrage and empathize suffering. [56 minutes]
Ecology (#403)
Features artists who address the natural world and the impact of technology on biology and society. [56 minutes]
Paradox (#404)
These artists blur the boundary between abstraction and representation and order and chaos. [56 minutes]
Compassion (#501)
[56 minutes]
Fantasy (#502)

Transformation (#503)
Whether observing and satirizing society or reinventing icons of literature, art history, and popular culture, these artists inhabit the characters they create and capture the sensibilities of our age. [56 minutes]
Systems (#504)

Musik Etc

This CD, the third from this marvelous alto player/composer, should garner him worldwide recognition, as it's his first for a label available worldwide. For five of the eight tracks he is heard in his usual trio setting--the unsung Pierre Cote, a constant on all three outings, is the bassist and the highly creative Michel Lambert the drummer. To add contrast, the world-class Steve Amirault, the most interesting pianist currently toiling on the Montreal scene, is the "+1" in the title. An edgy and musical effort." 9 out of 10 rating
Unpredictable and adventurous, Canadian saxophonist François Carrier creates music in a style that is his own. A shinning light of the uniquely rich Quebec jazz scene, Carrier now takes his rightful place on the international scene with his newest CD, Compassion, released on Naxos Jazz.
Carrier was born in Chicoutimi in the province of Québec in 1961. He began his musical studies at the age of seven and the saxophone soon became his favorite instrument. As a teenager, he discovered jazz when, for the first time, he heard Phil Woods. At fifteen, he put together his first band - playing pop music - for his first gigs on stage. At the same time, he started studying at the Conservatoire de musique de Québec.
In 1979 he moved to Vancouver, where he studied and played with the likes Ritchie Cole, Dexter Gordon and Pepper Adams. In 1982, he came back to Quebec where he studied at the Faculty of Music of both McGill and Concordia universities. In 1986, Carrier carried on his career as a composer and player. In 1994, he launched his first CD, Poursuite. In 1995, Carrier was a nominee for the prestigious prize of "La Fondation des Musiques du Monde" at the Gala de l'Excellence de la Culture de Québec. His second release came in 1997, Intuition. He founded NoEMI (Nouvel Ensemble de Musique Improvisée) in 1998 to experiment, create and explore the infinite possibilities of acoustic music. The group recorded one album with jazz great Dewey Redman on tenor saxophone.
Enthralling listeners with his both intense and original post-bop playing on Compassion, François Carrier demonstrates he is an inexhaustible improviser. Inspired by the vibrant and dynamic power of sounds, he explores various emotional atmospheres and celebrates the ephemeral beauty of the moment passing by on Compassion. As the title suggests, there is a lot of heart and soul, but that's not all. Whether he gets into a meditative mood or a playful one, Carrier is always unpredictable. His colorful and vibrant melodies take us on a poetic journey.
All eight tracks on Compassion are composed by Carrier. On the CD, he brings together four solid Canadian jazz compatriots: Pierre Côté on acoustic bass, Michel Lambert on drums and on several tracks Steve Amirault on piano (enlarging the trio on four pieces) to form the François Carrier Trio + 1. Four outstanding improvisers devoted to music in the spirit of freeplay and creation. And, lest we forget, compassion!

The Last 4 Photos of This Famous Actor Turn This Collection Into Something Surprising and Real
This photographer captured something totally unexpected and rich and beautiful and painful from a well-known actor. You have to read through to the end to understand the power within these surprising images.
Jeremy Cowart is used to photographing celebrities, which made his work for a show called The Haves and Have Nots for the Oprah Winfrey Network another day on the job… until the end of the session. You need to read the entire post to see the touching thing that happens when John Schneider asks for a private photo.
Cowart says, "One of the cast members was John Schneider. You might know him from his work on Dukes of Hazard or Smallville. John was one of my many subjects that day and like the rest of the cast, he was extremely professional, humble and a lot of fun to work with. He was killing his portraits… smiling, goofing off and he even threw in several impressions of famous actors and presidents. I was very impressed by his talent and good-natured humor."

Mapema Primera Zona Malbec 2007
Malbec from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
Black velvet in the glass, the layer of flavors begins with ripe black cherry and boysenberry and continues with a touch of smoke and spice. It achieves that elusive combination of concentration, complexity and finesse. Great with foods like veal chops, duck with fruit sauces, beef, lamb, grilled or roasted chicken, and game birds.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Big and flashy, with a large core of crushed currant and blackberry fruit enlivened by a nice tangy hint of damson plum. Plenty of spice and licorice notes fill out the muscular finish. Should settle in nicely with modest cellaring. Malbec. Drink now through 2011."
Wine Enthusiast - "From longtime Catena winemakers Mariano de Paola and Pepe Galante, this is a deep, black-fruited Malbec with a cushioned bouquet, violet notes and delightful blackberry character. The palate is deep, juicy, healthy and balanced, and the finish is smooth and offers a whiff of coconut. Solid, serious and good now through 2013."
International Wine Cellar - "Good bright ruby-red. Brooding aromas of black cherry, menthol and licorice, lifted by violet. Densely packed and fine-grained but a bit youthfully tight, with fresh acidity contributing to the impression of vinosity. But there's also lovely subtle sweetness here. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and good length. A subtle and stylish version of Argentine malbec. The fruit comes from the primera zona vineyards of the Tupungato and La Consulta districts."

Mapema Winery
We hear a lot about terroir and soils, but there is no substitute for a great team in winemaking, from the guys who prune to those who clean the barrels. Mariano di Paola has known this for decades, and as one of Mendoza's "Deans of Winemaking", he has built a long history of collaboration.
If you've met Mariano, you know that his greeting is like a big bear hug. If you work for him, you know that this hug extends to his every day dealings. Mariano makes sure his team enjoys lunch with him every day, including regular tastings of his high-end wines, and he makes sure they have wine for their homes at the end of every month. After all, they're the ones who help make it happen! His Christmas parties are legendary and include everyone's extended families (up to 400 people some years!). Take the expertise and experience of a great winemaker (Ma = Mariano) who sources the best possible grapes in Mendoza, wrap them around dedicated people (pe = people), and you've got incredible ma-pe-ma wines.

About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Vefa, the 'First Lady of Greek Cuisine' Charmed a Sold-Out Audience at the Metropolis of Detroit Philoptochos Fundraiser Benefiting the Greek Orthodox Philoptochos Society's Project to Establish a National Philoptochos Center of Philanthropy
TROY, Mich., June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — In an exclusive personal appearance, internationally renowned authors Vefa Alexiadou, the "Grande Dame" of Greek Cuisine, and her daughter, Alexia Alexiadou, traveled from Greece to present their Greek Cuisine Traditions at a major benefit appearance for the National Philoptochos with all proceeds earmarked for the Philoptochos Center of Philanthropy.
Vefa and daughter delighted the audience with their colorful, imaginative and informative culinary commentary and personal book signing. Included in the festivities were two days of delightful "behind the scenes" cooking/baking sessions with the authors that welcomed participation by local and national Board Philoptochos members. All items (breads, Easter eggs, koulourakia, racks of lamb and more) prepared by "Vefa's kitchen team" were donated to a local women's shelter after the event.
An important component of the week long activities was the Spring National Philoptochos Board Meeting held prior to the benefit luncheon. Other activities included a visit to the women's shelter, a cooking demonstration press conference and participation at Services at St. John's Church in Sterling Heights, MI followed by a Lenten Supper offered by the Philoptochos of the parish.
The Benefit Luncheon was sponsored by the Metropolis of Detroit Philoptochos, part of the 485 women's Philoptochos Chapters nationwide, totaling 27,500 members. The Metropolis of Detroit encompasses parishes in seven states including Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas.
"It was an amazing afternoon. We had attendance drawing over 400 people and sold out of all of Vefa's cookbooks. Vefa took the time to speak with our attendees when she personally signed her books that afternoon. We were so appreciative of her visit and the outstanding support and tremendous hospitality of the women of the communities the Detroit Metropolis serves," noted Luncheon Chairman, Maria Stavropoulos.
National Philoptochos President Aphrodite Skeadas thanked His Eminence, Metropolitan Nicholas who welcomed the National Philoptochos and all the attendees with open arms and heartfelt messages about Philoptochos membership and its mission to help those in need.
President Skeadas continued, "To realize our mission to establish our Center of Philanthropy, we are reaching out to our Chapters across the country. The Center will be more than a home but a Center of our social welfare outreach, the Center for resources to assist our membership and our Chapters nationwide, the Center for young and old to gather to continue the tradition of providing care, support and aid throughout the nation and the world."
Founded in 1931, the Ladies Society seeks to enhance and expand its role of assisting those in need through its ministries and programs. With the blessings of His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, the Philoptochos Society has now begun its campaign to establish a permanent home in New York where the organization is incorporated. Its mission is to aid the poor, to provide high quality assistance through social services and to expand educational resources and leadership programs to Philoptochos Chapters, members and parishes nationwide and throughout the world wherever there is need.
The Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society's special project, The Philoptochos Center of Philanthropy, will serve as the National Philoptochos Headquarters and house its administrative operations. It will also serve as an Advocacy Center for children/women/families/seniors, an Archives Library and a Conference Facility Center. The Center will offer Emergency Financial Assistance and provide an Information and Referral Hotline. In addition, the facility will house the Social Services Office. For additional information concerning the Center, please phone Christine Karavites at 508-982-4276; to donate please visit www.Philoptochos.org.
EDITORS' NOTE: Vefa appears frequently with her daughter, Alexia, who joined her for the benefit. The luncheon, An Afternoon with Vefa Alexiadou, took place at the Somerset Inn; Troy, Michigan, where Executive Chef Mark Kuzma prepared items from Vefa's cookbooks and made them available on the hotel dining room menu.
Prolific author, scholar as well as charming television personality, Vefa Alexiadou, received her degree in chemistry from the Aristotle University in Thessaloniki. She combined her culinary talents with scientific principles to modernize Greek Cooking without sacrificing authentic character and flavor of the traditional cuisine. For the past 30 years, no kitchen in Greece was considered complete without a cookbook by the country's most loved and respected culinary expert. Her 14 cookbooks have sold more than five million copies in over 35 countries.
Alexia Alexiadou shares the family passion for cooking and is also a prolific author. Her bestseller "Christmas Dreams" has sold 25,000 copies to date. She is a popular contributor to several Greek magazines and her monthly publication Real Food. In March 2011 Vefa and Alexia attended the Gourmand International Cookbook Fair in Paris where they received the "world best cooking series" award for their 24-volume publication, The ALPHA BETA OF COOKING by Alexia and Vefa. Beloved writers and dynamic culinary personalities, mother and daughter focus on the Greek kitchen where recipes are handed down from generation to generation.

Like many mobile workers, my notebook, tablet and smartphone share backpack space with portable storage. Accessing stored files over a physical connection, however, can be something of a challenge.

SanDisk has launched a new Connect range of storage vaults that can bypass that nightmarish tangle soup altogether. The Wireless Flash Drive and Wireless Media Drive are each able to wirelessly connect with up to eight mobile devices simultaneously without so much as an external router in sight. Read More
Sandisk reveals world's fastest 128GB SDXC Card
January 13, 2012
About eighteen months ago, SanDisk revealed the world's fastest 32GB SDHC media card, pushing the format's data transfer speeds up to a rather lively 30 megabytes per second (MB/s). Since then, the SDXC standard has been let loose on the world, with the promise of theoretical capacities of anything up to 2TB and file transfer rates up to 104 MB/s for the UHS-I flavor and 312MB/s for UHS-II. While we're not quite there yet, SanDisk is again claiming the "world's fastest" crown with its new 128GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I card, which boasts read/write speeds of up to 45 MB/s. Read More

SanDisk and Toshiba announce 19nm NAND flash memory
April 24, 2011
As our use of mobile technology increases, so does our demand for more built-in device storage capacity in smaller and smaller form factors. Only a few weeks have passed since Intel began using its 25 nanometer (nm) NAND flash memory in its 320 series SSD storage solutions and just days since the company joined with Micron Technology to announce the breakthrough 20nm process technology. Now SanDisk and Toshiba have developed and fabricated NAND flash memory modules with 19nm process technology. Read More

For the second week in a row, one of last year's terrific indie genre movies is hitting Blu-ray (for us physical media diehards; never give up!) and Netflix (for you streamers; I do not understand you but I embrace you) on the very same day. This week, the gem in question is A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, and it's joined on the new release shelf this week by an entertaining, blood-soaked shoot-'em-up and re-releases of a Renoir classic, a '70s coming-of-age fave, and one of the most iconic action movies of the 1980s. … Read More

The Stories Behind 10 Unused Film Scores
This month is dedicated to horror master John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing, Escape from New York) at BAMcinématek, which is celebrating his oeuvre in conjunction with the release of his first solo album, Lost Themes. "Lost Themes was all about having fun. It can be both great and bad to score over images, which is what I'm used to. Here there were no pressures. No actors asking me what they're supposed to do. No crew waiting. No cutting room to go to. No release pending. It's just fun," the filmmaker stated. "[Lost Themes is] little moments of score from movies made in our imaginations." In keeping with the theme of "lost" music, we examined the stories behind several unused film scores. These are the soundtracks that didn't make the final film for one reason or another. Listen to several excerpts, below. … Read More
10 Fascinating Films Set in a Single Location
Sisters are reunited at a secluded estate in the woods in Mona Fastvold's brooding, restrained study of family dysfunction in The Sleepwalker. "The unplanned sibling visit turns into a socially awkward weekend getaway. There's table banter and after-dinner dancing (to instrumental Yo La Tengo) in the vast, lamp-lit parlor," writes Jordan Hoffman for The Guardian. "These scenes glide along, evolving into near surrealism once our characters turn in for the night and succumb to the titular somnambulism." Relying on emotional performances, the remote house serves as the movie's primary location — a striking manifestation of the sisters' "self-contained universe" — where the dark family history unravels. We look at other films that find their inspiration from single locations, reflecting the interior world of their characters. … Read More

Flavorwire Interview: Kim Gottlieb-Walker on Capturing John Carpenter's Landmark Horror Classics
Her work has taken her from the Free Speech Movement in California and the underground press to the golden age of reggae (capturing Bob Marley) and a Jimi Hendrix interview in 1967 (her candid portraits of the singer are featured in the Hendrix "bible," Classic Hendrix). But photographer Kim Gottlieb-Walker's encounters with celebrity weren't limited to music. She became the set photographer for filmmaker John Carpenter, capturing stills of his iconic genre films — including Halloween, The Fog, Escape from New York, Halloween II, and Christine. Her behind-the-scenes images offer insight into one of cinema's masters of horror — a maverick artist who has thrilled and chilled us since 1974. The Carpenter photographs are the subject of a newly released book from Titan Books, On Set with John Carpenter. We recently spoke with Gottlieb-Walker about the making of Halloween, being a woman in a male-dominated industry, and the greatest Carpenter film faces. … Read More
All 10 'Halloween' Movies, in Charts and Percentages
Why 'Halloween' Is the Greatest Horror Franchise Ever (Even Though It Isn't)
It's hard to imagine the kind of rights clearances and materials logistics that must've gone into Shout Factory and Anchor Bay's new box set Halloween: The Complete Collection; it assembles ten films (and their copious special features) that were made over 31 years by several different studios and independents. Yet all those legal hurdles were cleared so that Halloween fans could have every single iteration of the series in one compact box — although it's almost a pyrrhic victory, since the most striking impression from viewing these films alongside each other is how wildly inconsistent the series is. Halloween is my favorite horror franchise, but there's more than one movie in the series that's awful enough to make me question that very devotion. But then again, aren't all horror franchises like that? … Read More

There are all sorts of reasons to see Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats The Soul (debuting this week on Blu-ray, via The Criterion Collection), but here's the one that finally clinched it for me: when they go see it in Middle of Nowhere. By inserting the earlier film into a later one, Nowhere's director, Ava DuVernay, isn't just telling us something about the kind of people who inhabit her story; she's also savvily commenting on the kind of story she's telling. And she's not the only filmmaker to employ this very clever trick. … Read More
John Carpenter on 'Halloween,' 35 Years Later
Why the Slasher Movie Was the Quintessential '80s Horror Subgenre
Horror films channel the fears and fervor of modernity, acting as reflectors turned against their viewers. They're the most epochal form of escapism of the last century. Take, for example, James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein, which uses monsters and madmen to depict the internal torment of repressed sexual orientation at a time when homophobia was the norm, or Psycho and Peeping Tom, which explore the identity suppression and psycho-sexual struggle of the McCarthy era (to which The Wicker Man would provide a gleefully perverse epilogue in 1973). John Carpenter's Halloween presents suburban banality and parental tyranny — no pot, no premarital sex, be home by nine — personified as a living urban legend in Michael Meyers. David Cronenberg's skin-tighteningly creepy Shivers, and later his remake of The Fly, capture the fear of disease and bodily disintegration. The fear of communism permeates Invasion of the Body Snatchers (both of them), while Carpenter, always happy to usurp the conservative norm, portrays the fear and paranoia of communism, rather than communism itself, sinisterly in The Thing. … Read More

The Babur cruise missile has a range of 435 miles and has "stealth" features, the state-run Inter-Services Public Relations agency reported.
It is programmed with terrain contour and digital scene matching technology, the agency added.
The path of the missile can be monitored remotely in real time.
The missile was fired from a multi-tube missile launch vehicle, which "significantly enhances" the range and mobility of the missile, ISPR said.

We're entering a new era of computing technology that many are calling the Internet of Things (IoT).

IoT is comprised of smart machines interacting and communicating with other machines, objects, environments and infrastructures. As a result, huge volumes of data are being generated, and that data is being processed into useful actions that can "command and control" thi...

WebRTC defines no default signaling protocol, causing fragmentation between WebRTC silos. SIP and XMPP provide possibilities, but come with considerable complexity and are not designed for use in a web environment. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Matthew Hodgson, technical co-founder of the Matrix.org, discussed how Matrix is a new non-profit Open Source Project that defines both a new HTTP-based standard for VoIP & IM signaling and provides reference implementations.

But this looks like tons of fun. I started working with 3d prints at school making this little dragon. (Based of work by my favorite artist Paul Kidby) I've since given away all the prints. But this is a render I did. http://fav.me/d3lptvv Everyone seamed to really like them and I kept getting requests for different poses and themes. I wouldn't feel right about putting something like that up without permission though, but I'm gonna try to put this piece up. http://fav.me/d3d77x6 It's part of a two-piece sculpture I was working on. (The 3d model will look a bit different as I stuck this one to a piece of Iron.) ..anyway, any advice or critiques are very welcome. This has got to be the coolest hobby in the world:) -Thomas ps. You can check out my work on Deviant Art If you have any requests or ideas let me know. ]]> Gninjagnome 2011-12-06T14:43:16-00:00 Re: Hello Shapeways Community http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=40828&th=7350#msg_40828 The detail on your Iron Hand is pretty incredible. I'm guessing you used the 3D printer you have at school -- which material is that in? If you need any help finding your way around, lemme know. ]]> ana 2011-12-27T19:34:19-00:00

"Didn't Like It"
I really like supernatural books, but I didn't like this one. Some interesting twists to the plot, but overall, the story was juvenile.
"Loved it"
I absolutely loved this book. It has everything - action, humor, supernatural, mystery, and romance. I found myself laughing out loud on my way to work many times. Would highly recommend it.
"Fun to read"
This is a delightful book. Very fun and worth the read (or listening to). I would like to see more of her books available on audible. I definitely recommand this book.
"OK Book, Great Narrator"
I only discovered this series a few months ago and have flown through all the books in the series so far. This my first time to listen instead of read. Narrator Johanna Parker was fantastic. She did an excellent job with the varied Louisiana bayou accents and she sounded exactly as I always thought Sookie Stackhouse might sound like, which is not usually the case with even the best of narrators. The book, on the other hand, was not as good as the previous novels. The plot was thin at best, didn't really kick in until about half way through and some of the action seemed trite and forced. I also find myself getting tired of Sookie's constant moving from one Supe to another -- it really belittles such a great heroine. I also dislike the direction the author has taken with Bill. Over the last three books he has really turned into an ass -- an immature ass at that. Overall, the book was OK and it will certainly bring me back to the next book in the series.
"great writing fair reading"
I love Charlaine Harris - I've read all of her Sookie Stackhouse books as well as all of her Lily Bard books. This is the only Harris book I've listened to, and while the story was everything promised, I found the reading a bit uninflected. Still, certainly worth it!
"another winner!"
Sookie's world is getting increasingly complex and even more intriguing! A great listen - even if you haven't read the others in the series leading to this.
"chick book"
If you like romance with male vampires and werewolves with a little mystery on side, some male objectification, and you're a chick - then you'll probably love it.
I don't, I'm not, and I didn't
"Keeps on giving !"
This wasn't my favorite, but interesting none the less. Keeps me coming back for more ... I love this series !
The audio, as others have stated, wasn't as clean as the others. The lip smacking was almost too much for me to handle !
"Not pleased"
The series has gone downhill from the initial books published about Sookie. They are quite thin and do not cover much material.
Did not care for the narrator..wasn't as impressive as all the other ones I've heard.
"Narration leaves a lot to be desired."
I have loved the Sookie Stackhouse series and have read all of them several times. I wanted to listen to them while I exercise, mow, etc, so I downloaded this one since it happened to be where I am in the series at this time. I'm not a fan of the narrator at all. I keep waiting for her to speed up or something, and just give some life to the characters. To me she just sounds bored. I won't buy another one in this series since she's the only narrator it seems.

Chelsea must lower their asking price if they're to move on Didier Drogba.
The Guardian says Drogba was at Cobham yesterday but remains intent upon leaving the club before the new campaign. However, there has been no formal contact from potential suitors as yet. Milan remain favourites to sign the Ivorian striker, with Real Madrid also monitoring his situation, but the Rossoneri have suggested that the fee Chelsea are likely to seek, about £30m, is out of their reach.
"Didier Drogba is one of the players that Milan would like to employ, but he belongs to another club and is under contract," said Milan's sporting director, Umberto Gandini. "The two clubs have to talk to each other."

The US-based fast food giant Domino's Pizza on Thursday said India would make significant contributions to its revenues to become one of its top five revenue generators in the next three years. To expand aggressively in the Indian market, the company will be opening around 60-65 outlets every year for the next three years.
"India currently is one of the fastest growing markets for us and ranks among the top 10 in our global list. In the next three years, India will be among our top five markets. India today contributes around 1.5-2 per cent to our annual global sales, and this figure would double in the next few years," Domino's Pizza President and CEO J. Patrick Doyle told journalists here.
Targets Rs. 420 cr sales
In India, Domino's Pizza operates under a master franchise agreement with the Bhartia group-promoted Jubilant Foodworks. In January this year, Jubilant had listed the Domino's brand. The company is hoping to end this fiscal with a total sales turnover of Rs. 420 crore.
"We have opened 65 outlets in India this fiscal, which is the highest number in any market. This shows the growth potential for us here. We will be opening around 60-65 outlets every year for the next three years. We will cross the 500-outlets mark in three years." Mr. Doyle added.
According to Jubilant Foodworks CEO Ajay Kaul, "Our main focus market for expansion will be Tier-II and Tier-III cities. We have opened stores in 26 cities in the past two years. We plan to invest around Rs. 50-55 crore next fiscal, mainly in opening new store."
