The official kickoff to the cold season has arrived!
If you didn't make it to the Winter Camping Symposium this year…rest easy. We busted our very humps sprinting between as many of the workshops, seminars and activities as we could, all to bring you a toboggan-load packed with winter camping goodness. Pull on your bread-bag liners, get on your boots, and let's jump into this.
We'd arrived to YMCA Camp Miller on Thursday night, but activities had already begun. Among them, a full-immersion course on Wilderness Living Skills that had lasted nearly a week!
With the wooded acreage of the camp serving as both classroom and campgrounds, legendary author/instructor Mors Kochanski shared his wisdom with about a dozen people. Knowledge of plants, cold weather clothing guidelines, and primitive shelter building were just a few of the topics covered.
Kochanski's perhaps most popular book has been Bushcraft; a veritable Bible of outdoor skills. I grew up with a copy of it in the house, where I'd spent hours poring over Kochanski's information-rich drawings outlining fire-building technique, shelters, and axecraft. I was not a little bit grieved that I couldn't attend the course. Mors is a never-drying well of knowledge; one participant later told me that Kochanski was often the first to rise and the last to retire, constantly sharing resources and answering questions. [We are hoping to retrieve more photos from this course, so check back here later this week.]
Sunrise on Friday morning was our warm welcome, however. The day's schedule was largely reserved for workshops and courses requiring several hours each. So, what'll it be: making beautiful, useful things all day for the coming winter? or learning vital skills on foot, with the oaks, pines and lake as a backdrop?
Yup—we went for 'em all, and got enough of each to share with you.
Anyone who chose the Basic Land Navigation workshop, chose well. Instructor Lucas Will knows a thing or two about finding his way around; weeks ago, the guide completed a 1,200-mile circumnavigation of Lake Superior.
Will first spent some concentrated time with the class on compass and map reading, from the basics on up the finer points. Using topo maps of (what else) the grounds of Camp Miller, they then put it all into practice and stepped outside. Lucas led the group as they took bearings and eventually ranged out and away from the camp structures.
The long lodge at the lakeshore, hosted not one but two workshops.
On one end, North House Folk School alum Ian Andrus led a group in creating Black Ash Pack Baskets. The yurt-dwelling Andrus is a model of self-reliance in the woods, and the care he shows for natural materials and utilitarian, yet beautifully-crafted items, clearly shows through.
Though time-consuming, each step of the class' progress we observed seemed an extremely gratifying tactile experience. Having a pair of Ian's finished baskets along served as a pretty good carrot, too.
On the other hand, a true education on knives was being shared. Woodworker Jarrod Stonedahl led a workshop on creating crooked knives—and no. That is not a typo. What a crooked knife is, is a nomadic tool (also known as the mokotagan) dating far back in North America. Used in carving snowshoes, canoe paddles, even birch bark canoe frames, it's extremely versatile. Think Swiss Army knife, but probably way better. And probably not Swiss. Participants here walked away with history, technique, and a mokotagan of their own making.
Greg "Burnie" Burns oversaw the Snowshoe/Paddle Dip again this year. It was cool to see that more people have come to anticipate this workshop; a clear sign of this was the sight of a Winter Camping Symposium logo that someone had 'tattooed' onto their paddle. And just as a tatt stays around for a long time, so too will all the newly-varnished wooden gear brought in.
Remember from last year, how DIY gear ninja Brian Maruska constructed a wood burning stove in an hour? An amazing feat, that one single hour of that one day… But you don't actually think he stopped there, do you?
In "Burning with Brian", the thrifty Maruska led a tour highlighting all the portable stove-building projects he's undertaken in 2011. Always encouraging a 'why not' experimental approach, his enthusiasm was as infectious as ever. Which was the overall favorite? Was it the portable meat smoker, made from a hot water heater? The wood-heated boiler that now permanently keeps the camp's shop toasty warm? The mini-stove whose firebox used to be an Oberon beer keg? Or the nano-stove that's little larger than a matchbox? You decide, while Brian goes off and builds more stuff.
Brian threw some pork butt into the smoker, and then proceeded to clamp down some snowshoe frames he'd just been steaming with—you got it—another contraption of his own making. This filled out the 'action-packed' portion of the workshop, as Brian recruited three other able-bodied persons to quickly wrangle the wood into the jig before it stiffened. The guy just won't sit still.
Meanwhile, a class led by Kevin Kinney (of Empire Wool & Canvas) fashioned deer and elk hide mitten shells. The work looked meticulous and painstaking. But lost in their enjoyment of making things that last, and in conversation with newly-made friends, nobody there seemed to feel so.
Afternoon saw a new (and much appreciated) addition to the WCS's schedule: A workshop for kids! Bushcrafting legend Mors Kochanski invited the younger attendees (and anyone else who wished) on a nature hike. Clipping and handing out samples of young birch, aspen, oak and alder branches, Kochanski taught in a most tactile way. Stopping here to show the uses of cattail sedges, pausing there to discuss how pine sap can serve as a bandaid for burns, he passed on more knowledge that would be actually retained, than I'm sure most schoolbooks could in the same timeframe.
This knowledge transfer continued after dinner, during Mors' keynote presentation. His free-range teaching style covered native wisdom, winter clothing recommendations, survival shelters… even how to find some of the best possible shelter materials at the Dollar Store. Everyone left a little smarter as an outdoorsy type, and I'd like to think, a little wiser as a human.
Most people greet the morning with just coffee. Fred Boulay met it today with laughter as well. The well-versed winter camper is a mainstay of the Symposium; he loves to be here and it shows in his seminar on Winter Camping 101. With no small amount of humor, Fred shared not just technique and gear choices, but also things he's learned from mistakes. In addition to discussing the finer points of hot tenting (that is, using a canvas tent/wood stove combo) he also included a handout featuring several primitive shelters.
And what better a follow-up, than Winter Camping 102?
Michael Maruska, like his brothers, is known for his ingenuity in making (and modifying) his own gear. So if the "102″ implies a greater mindfulness towards self-reliance in this respect, the seminar is aptly named. Michael had two of his latest tent creations on hand, and dissected his pulk setup as well.
Where to start? The toboggans themselves were sturdy, but minimal, and I daresay, do-able. He pulled out a pair of lightweight wanigans—wood framed chests meant for storage of gear when in travel. Yet Michael's weren't of the traditional solid wood construction. These featured wood only on the frames and lid (which for one chest,
doubled tripled as a cutting board and bench.) Stretched canvas served as the other surfaces, and metallic insulated wrap inside one of them, too. Another notable hack: a pair of boot liners had been dipped in protective rubber coating (available at Menard's) to keep out moisture.
Michael's most recent tent project was a double-walled structure, with the inner wall made from canvas drop cloth (again with the Menard's.) Plus, the particular shape of the tent, with its generous headroom, seems particularly ideal to Michael. And to most people who bring their heads with, when camping. Awesome ideas all around; certainly too many to share here.
As midday approached, more folks began to trickle in, and the familiar village of white Snowtrekker tents began to spread. Yet in contrast to last year's proliferation of portable yurts among them, this year saw a greater representation of hammock campers.
One of the first of these to arrive was John MacEntyre Allen, owner of Molly Mac Gear, a line of versatile packs and hammock camping gear. The North Carolinian spends his winters in the Appalachians, but spent this weekend with us.
His seminar, Hammock Camping: Nothing But the Soles of Your Feet Touch the Ground, was new territory to many of us. But it wasn't hard to 'get' the concept of comfortable, insulated sleep, removed from contact with the snow. MacEntyre covered the anatomy of a winter hammock outfit, demo'ed how to lay in it (there is a wrong way,) and also showcased his own innovation, a gear hammock that's, well… just that! A suspended cache for your stuff.
Pining for more? Oh, there is more. The second part of our Winter Camping Symposium report will post in another day or so. Keep watching!

Cooking and Baking
Bitter Hummus
So, I want to know if anyone else experiences this problem. Every time I attempt to make hummus, it ends up being wildly bitter. Like, mouth-puckering bitter.
I did quite a bit of research, and some say that when good-quality extra virgin olive oil is whipped in a food processor for too long, it turns bitter because of the heat of the blades. So then I tried regular olive oil, and the same thing happened.
When I taste my tahini plain, it is a bit bitter, but I have used it in other recipes just fine.
So what is happening? Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it?
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!
Check out this post for a more thorough explanation, and jump onto our Facebook page or our Twitter feed to keep the conversations going!

Getting in some retail therapy, Whitney Port was spotted at one of her favorite West Hollywood, CA stores Tuesday afternoon (May 22).
The 27-year-old fashionista showed off some leg as she shopped at the Kitson boutique donning an over sized sweater with a pair of black flats after tweeting, "Getting down to business..." while fabric shopping.
Stepping out for a bite to eat, Whitney Port was spotted leaving the King's Road Cafe in West Hollywood, California on Wednesday (May 17).

Offering up a fun-filled trailer, "What to Expect When You're Expecting" has treated fans to a new clip that centers on the movie's fictional reality series dubbed "Celebrity Dance Factor".
The 34-seconds worth of footage acts as a commercial for the dance competition show's 15th season, with the three judge panel played by Cheryl Cole, Tyce Diorio and Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas.
Taking care of her to-do list, Whitney Port was spotted milling around New York City yesterday afternoon (March 1).
The former "City" starlet kept warm with a black down coat and a grey knit cap with black high heeled boots as she made several stops along the way.
She's living the dream of thousands of young designers, and Whitney Port took the stage at her own fashion show during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City on Wednesday (February 15).

Ticonderoga Moses-Ludington Hospital is among the nation's leaders in electronic records.
The Ticonderoga health care facility achieved "meaningful use" of its electronic health records July 31. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services only 151 of the 1,327 critical access hospitals in the country have achieved "meaningful use" and received a financial incentive payment.
"The hospital has been preparing for this level of EHR (electronic health records) adoption for several years," said Lisa Busby, chief information officer of Inter-Lakes Health, MLH's parent company. "Even before the federally mandated guidelines were established, we started to implement an electronic health record.
"We recognized early on that we could leverage technology to deliver quality healthcare to the patients in our community," she said. "This early approach allowed us to be ahead of many other critical access hospitals in achieving 'meaningful use.' It was through a concerted staff effort across the entire organization that we made this goal a reality. It is an accomplishment that all of our staff can take pride in and demonstrates their commitment to patients in our community."
Directed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Medicare EHR Incentive Program, dubbed "Meaningful Use," was established to motivate hospitals to adopt electronic health records and use the technology meaningfully to support the delivery of high quality healthcare.
Moses-Ludington Hospital expects to receive more than $500,000 in incentive funds from Medicare and Medicaid for having met all "meaningful use" stage 1 criteria.
Some of the benchmarks for 'meaningful use' include using the hospital's EHR for computerized physician order entry (CPOE) to enter medication orders, maintaining an active medication list for patients, implementing a clinical decision making rule, and electronically exchanging health information with another hospital.
"We are thrilled with our stage 1 'meaningful use' achievement," said Chip Holmes, CEO and president of Inter-Lakes Health, parent company of MLH. "It has required a tremendous amount of work and cooperation, but in the end, allows us to deliver a higher quality of care and improves patient safety. Inter-Lakes Health is committed to excellence and this is only one example of how the organization is excelling."

Zealots do make tempting targets because they themselves are so myopic
on issues tangential to their vision. The social visionary can't
interact well socially. The irony is thick. You say that this thread (or
parts of it) represents the juvenile aspect of American culture. The
more entertaining parts of this thread seem to me more like a bards
monologue, hardly American or modern, but yes old, like a timeless
The trick is to be neither zealous, cynical, nor smug. I'm not
emotionally invested in this issue. I have an ENORMOUS amount of respect
for what RMS has done for the open source movement. If I have offended
you personally, then please believe me when I say that it was
unintentional and that I will happily make amends over a tall beer, my
treat. I am, after all, only a member of the peanut gallery.

Bringing your own device to work, or BYOD, as some IT specialists call it, sounds like a win-win.
Employees get to use a smartphone, tablet or even a computer that's familiar, with all their preferred settings and software.
Employers, meanwhile, avoid the cost of those devices.
But Barbara Ellis, a Wichita-area account executive for Joplin, Mo.-based Heartland Technology Solutions, says there are several issues for employers to consider before embracing BYOD:
• What will you support?
If an employee is using a device for work, there could be an expectation that the company's IT service has to solve any problems that might crop up on the device, Ellis says.
Often with company-owned devices, there's some standardization across departments, but with individually owned devices, everyone could be running a different operating system or version, she says.
"They might bring in whatever might be on sale, or what their friend has," Ellis says. "That makes support very difficult."
Some employers get around this by only offering support to certain types of devices, she says.
• Is it secure?
The potential for security compromises grows when devices not owned by the company are added to the mix.
Ellis says it's possible for an employee to log on to the network with a device that has a virus, which could cause harm to the network.
Employers can take steps to prevent this, however, like setting up pre-login checks. Employees whose antivirus software isn't current, for example, wouldn't be able to log on, she says.
Another concern arises if a device containing company information is lost or stolen, she says. Employers have to consider whether to ask staff to set up locks on devices. A lock, if it's set up in advance, can be activated remotely to prevent an outsider from accessing information.

A branchial cleft cyst is a lump that develops in the neck or just below the collarbone. It is a type of birth defect.
Cleft sinus
Branchial cleft cysts form during development of the embryo. They occur when tissues in the neck and collarbone area (branchial cleft) fail to develop normally.
The birth defect may appear as open spaces called cleft sinuses, which may develop on one or both sides of the neck. A branchial cleft cyst may form from fluid drained from a sinus. The cyst or sinus can become infected.
Your baby's health care provider may be able to diagnose this condition during a physical examination. The following tests may be done:
Antibiotics will be given if the cyst or sinuses are infected.
Surgery is generally indicated to remove a branchial cyst to prevent complications, such as infections.
Surgery is usually successful, with good results.
The cyst or sinuses may become infected if not removed.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you notice a small pit, cleft, or lump in the neck or upper shoulder of your infant, especially if fluid drains from this area.

AFRICA junior 10,000m bronze medallist Peter Kimeli was crowned the new champion of the 22nd edition of Nike International Discovery Kenya Half Marathon yesterday in Eldoret.
Kimeli secured the hard fought victory in 63:06 minutes while little known Jackson Limo placed second in 63:18. He was followed by the Gothenburg Marathon champion Victor Kipchirchir, who closed the podium withan impressive 63:33 minutes.
Allan Kiprono clocked 63.41 to place fourth as Thomas Ekiru (64.01), John Lotiang (63.02), Benson Motto (64.08), Laban Mutai (64.15), Robert Chemosin (64.21) and Anthony Maritim (64.24) closed the top ten places.
The race started on a high pace at Eldo-Centre with Zane Robertson from New Zealand taking command in the opening 6 kilometres. Robertson then faded out leaving the Kenyan road racers to battle it out.
Kimeli, Limo and Kipchirchir then took charge as they battled shoulder to shoulder. The three exchanged the leads until the 13km mark when Kimeli who is also the brother to Africa junior 5,000m gold medallist Mathew Kisorio and the Africa junior 10,000 champion Nicholas Togom broke away and opened up a gap.
With 200m to go, Kimeli was all alone as Limo trailed from a distance with no chance of catching up. Kemeli then produce a sprint finish with 100m remaining to breast the tape. In an interview an elated Kimeli said the race was part of his build-up in preparation for his road races abroad. He said he is preparing for Lisbon Half Marathon in March and Paris Marathon in April.
"I don't have any intention of running for Kenya but I am preparing for road races abroad. I was using this race to test my endurance," Kimeli said.
He has a personal best time of 2:08:16 in marathon which he clocked last year after placing fourth at the Frankfurt Marathon and a PB of 61:34 in half marathon posted in Austria.
"My intention is to improve on my both personal bests and I am confident of doing that this year," said Kimeli, a third born in a family of seven.Kipchirchir, who placed third said he was preparing for the world marathon due in August in Moscow.
He trains in Iten and he has a personal best time of 59:31 in half marathon which he posted at the City By City marathon in Netherlands.
"I have been training hard, hoping to make the Kenya team to the World championships in Moscow. I want to post good time and be within the bracket of those who will be chosen," he said. The event was graced by Athletics Kenya vice president Jackson Tuwei.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives of Orange County Recap for Season 7, Episode 11: Once a Pussycat Doll, Always a Pussycat Doll
Gretchen, Gretchen, Gretchen. It's all about her, isn't it? Well, she's about to go on stage in Vegas with the Pussycat Dolls, so it's understandable. In the last episode, the blonde beauty was stressing about her vocals, and in Season 7, Episode 11, there's no more time to heal from the Great Bunco Disaster. Ready or not, Gretchen has to perform.
First, though, she's going to coach Alexis. The recently rhinoplastied Housewife isn't sure her Fox 5 segments are up to par, and she wants Gretchen's expert advice. As you know, Gretchen is an authority on such matters because she once hawked her handbags on a San Antonio's news station. After giving some advice (she thinks Alexis needs professional help in the form of a hosting coach), Gretchen bursts Alexis's bubble. "You know they asked me to do this?" Gretchen asks, explaining that the station invited her to host weekly segments first. Alexis didn't know this. "I'm completely speechless," Alexis tells the camera, wondering why Gretchen felt the need to tell her she was Fox's second choice. "I felt it was killing her to be supportive of me," complains Alexis. At least Alexis has that $170 top to support her boobies during segments about adolescents and media sexualization.
Look, everyone. It's Heather Paige Kent, a.k.a., Heather Dubrow. The reason the other Housewives had never heard of the actress in the midst is because Heather used a stage name for her career and almost no one watched that Jenny McCarthy sitcom. Regardless, Heather is getting back in the saddle and heading to an audition for a TV show. While her husband, Terry, is supportive, the brunette mother of four is nervous about acting, opening a restaurant, and taking care of her brood. Heather almost doesn't want to get cast, so she won't have to decide whether or not to take the role.
Despite the fact that Vicki and Gretchen haven't spoken since their Bunco blowup, Vicki is going to Vegas. Luckily, Brooks can act as her Southern gentleman bodyguard if a fight erupts. "We're just gonna have the elephant in the room and feed the elephant every now and then," says Vicki, which is exactly how we get through Thanksgiving dinner. (Well, that and wine.)
Vegas! Slade and Gretchen are heading to the hotel in a limo. "Once a Pussycat Doll, always a Pussycat Doll," he tells her, listing off the famous names amongst their distinguished ranks. Pink. Britney. Christina Aguilera. (We can't believe he failed to mention Nicole Scherzinger!) "Now if only I could sing like them," says Gretchen. When they arrive at the Cosmopolitan hotel, Gretchen is overwhelmed with the view, the champagne, and the amenities. "Is this what it feels like to be a star?" Gretchen asks, which is just really endearing and sweet. There's not much time to enjoy the suite, however. Gretchen only has one rehearsal to perfect her performance. "I have dancing, I have singing, I have… sexiness," she says, trying to keep it all straight.
In the Escalade limo with Vicki, Tamra, Heather, and their significant others, everyone tries to figure out what Jim does. Alexis seems like she has a lot of money (and a lot of cars) but Heather thinks it might be a façade.
It's time for Tamra theater: the reenactment of Gretchen and Vicki's Bunco fight. "Your boyfriend's a deadbeat dad. No, your boyfriend's a deadbeat dad. You didn't have a baby out of your vagina. You don't even have a vagina." And, scene.
Vicki lists Gretchen's careers (realtor, dancer, singer, purse designer) and calls her jack of all trades but master of none. Yep, this is definitely a kindler, gentler Vicki.
Gretchen is ready to rehearse. Mikey Minden, Pussycat Dolls' producer extraordinaire, helpfully coaches her by randomly saying words such as "Diva" and "Beyonce." At this point, it's clear just how nervous Gretchen is. "I don't sing on a mic normally," she says. Typically, she just sticks to the shower or her car. Same here, Gretch, but shouldn't you have thought of this sooner? After Gretchen finishes "Fever," Slade claps enthusiastically. No one else does. Mikey wants Gretchen to focus on the singing, since being sexy and hopping around come naturally, while the vocals, well, don't.
Over at the Smiley/Rossi residence, we learn that Slade calls Gretchen "poodle." Ever the domestic goddess/multi-tasker, a laundry-folding Grech phones Alexis and Tamra to invite them to see her perform with the Pussycat Dolls in Vegas. Hey, did you know Gretchen is performing with the Pussycat Dolls? In Vegas? In case you missed it, you'll be told 200 more times this episode.
Actually, though, we're glad Bravo showed us this conversation, because we learned a lot from Tamra. "I don't fold socks and underwear until I have a wedding ring," Tamra instructs Gretchen. "If you ain't got a ring, you don't fold a thing." Sigh, there was far too little Tamra in this episode. She wishes Gretchen luck, because the Pussycat Dolls singer/dancer is inviting her frenemy to the Pussycat Dolls show, which is in Vegas.
Terry's playing pool with one of the kids when Heather arrives home wearing a glittery, sleeveless shirt with a starched white collar. The shirt is very fascinating, but Terry is too busy losing against his child to notice. Heather is unsure how the audition went. "What if I do get it?" Heather wonders of the show, which will film in Canada. Though she's happy with their life, the former actress doesn't want to feel like she gave up her career for Terry. After a few minutes of stressing over how they'd manage Heather working so many hours and being away in Canada, Terry says he wants her to be happy and he'll gladly move to the publically funded healthcare system of our neighbors to the north if need be. Ooh, can Heather join The Real Housewives of Vancouver if she lands the role?
Alexis and her husband, Jim, have almost the exact same conversation as Heather and Terry and it goes just as well. Just kidding; Jim is Alexis's king, remember? He rains on her parade when she tells him she wants to get an acting coach to improve her Fox 5 performances. "I don't know how that fits into being a wife and a mother," says Jim, adding that they don't need the money — completely glossing over that for his wife, the job is about more than just financial security. Alexis is much more eloquent in her arguments with the camera, saying she doesn't want to just stay at home with the kids anymore. Maybe the hosting coach can also help Alexis win arguments with Jim?
The crew arrives at the hotel. Vicki hugs Gretchen and tells her she's proud. "Did aliens invade planet earth?" asks a confused Gretchen, who isn't used to Vicki being nice to her. Surprisingly, the Vickster also offers Slade a birthday "woohoo." Frankly, Heather seems more excited about Gretchen's upcoming performance than the Pussycat Dolls singer herself. This does not bode well, and everyone tries to calm Gretchen down.
Oh, dear. Alexis's makeup artist covers up her residual rhinoplasty bruises by caking on brown makeup.
Gretchen is getting snapped into a sparkly Pussycat Dolls ensemble as the other couples are at dinner (minus Alexis, who is hosing down the bottom half of her makeup-covered face). When Alexis and Jim arrive, Tamra is shocked. Evidently, Alexis's husband got an chin implant and joined the mob because Tamra dubs him "Jimmy 'the Chin' Bellino."
The dinner conversation turns to the daily affirmations Brooks sends Vicki, and Tamra is still skeptical of her friend's new man. Being cheesy isn't a crime, Tam! Then it's time to hear everyone's in vitro stories. Terry and Jim both donated their swimmers for the project, but Alexis says Jim never had to do it alone. Vicki is grossed out by the s-p-e-r-m talk.
Robin Antin, Pussycat Dolls founder, adjusts Gretchen's boobs and hair. The OC ladies and gents arrive at the burlesque club. Alexis gives Gretchen a prayer pep talk: "God shows up everywhere, and God is in Vegas." Mikey is much more realistic. "That's what rehearsal is for," he says, telling her that God can't help her now. Then he shoves her out on stage.
Next time, Gretchen caterwauls with the Pussycat Dolls and Vicki apologizes to her.

Garces Trading Company
The Iron Chef opens an all-in-one culinary destination and wine boutique
Situated in a large space in the Washington Square West neighborhood, Garces Trading Company — a gourmet market and cafe — is the sixth Philadelphia restaurant by Iron Chef Jose Garces.
The multi-purpose space features a host of house-made and imported foods under the Garces Trading Company label, as well as Chef Garces' award-winning cuisine, available for eat-in or take-out.
Other features include a flower shop, an on-site bakery, private label olive oils and vinegars, Chef Garces' signature coffee and the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's first wine boutique.
The market houses several sections offering different culinary experiences, including: a cheese shop with free samples and Chef Garces' signature Cheese Complements from Amada, including garlic dulce de leche and fig and cherry marmalade; a variety of imported single estate Vinegars and Olive Oils from Spain, Italy and Greece; and "GTC at Home," which offers the chance to enjoy Chef Garces' food in neatly packaged bags for convenient reheating. Other prepared foods and imported products include: French, Spanish and Italian cheeses; house-cured and imported Charcuterie; and hand-crafted Sandwiches served on house-baked bread.
During lunch and dinner, Garces Trading Company visitors are treated to a menu of European fare, including: a variety of pastas such as Pappardelle with lamb ragu, sun choke puree and piavecchio; thin crust and deep dish pizzas (only fitting, as Chef Garces hails from Chicago); and daily changing plats du jour.
From Chef Garces: "Our menu reflects my Spanish cooking heritage and also includes other European cuisines, including some French and Italian dishes. Most of the items on the menu were chosen because they are familiar, and they're the sorts of foods that I crave from my travels when you stumble upon a sweet little no-name cafe with great food."
The restaurant and market seats 75 diners at high-top, butcher block tables, while guests browse the wares surrounding the central dining area. A florist stall, wine shop, coffee counter, bakery and cheese and charcuterie seller ring the u-shaped space much like an outdoor market in Europe, framing the tables with delectable displays of their wares that include hanging cured meats and cheeses, sprays of blossoms and cases of wine.
From the designer, Jun Aizaki: ""Garces Trading Company recalls the era of merchant ships and open-air markets. We've broken the edges of the main space into a series of stalls selling their wares, and guests can browse, shop, then settle in at a table in the central dining area and enjoy their purchases at their own pace."
More Info
Of special note is Garces Trading Company's pioneering venture with the Pennsylvania Liquor and Control Board; the state leases a percentage of the restaurant's space from Chef Garces and uses it to sell a selection of more than 200 red, white and sparkling wines and fine spirits. A strong focus on the wines of Spain, France and Italy complement the menu.

It's been a whole year since our team of skilled individuals transformed Sex.com from a shitty site with tons of banners and internet garbage to a legitimate free porn site with millions of amazing sexy pictures and free adult movies and possibly the best sex blog ever written.
Though there are a lot of imitators, Sex.com is the only site for pinning porn videos and pictures. But after a year there is a question I'd like to ask all our users and the people visit Sex.com that haven't yet made account (which by the way, accounts are free and if you don't have an account you're not using Sex.com to its full potential so click here to make one).
If you've been on the main page of Sex.com, you probably have noticed some similarities with Pinterest. That's because Sex.com is Pinterest for porn (even though we all know that Pinterest has tons of porn on it).
Pinterest basically is scrapbooking internet content. When you see something you like, you pin it, repin it or like it to preserve it. Unless it's a viral sensation, internet content can be hard to find again, which is why pinning is great. It's an easy way to save and access things you like from anywhere in the world. Plus it's shared with an online community that either give you approval for having great taste.
I must admit, when I first saw Sex.com using the same pin and board interface as Pinterest, I wasn't sold on the idea. My reaction something like, "Pinterest is stupid so this is stupid as well."
But when I started pinning pictures and videos, I realized how good it was for internet porn. There's a lot of porn on the internet. Like a lot of porn. There's so much internet porn that you can't even begin to speculate how much there is. So equipped with Sex.com's Pin It button, browsing internet porn became less of a transient experience. I could now organize the sexy pictures and adult movies I liked in a way that I saw fit without ever having to worry about how I was going to find a certain picture or video. It also keeps all that porn off my hard drive so no one will find it and ask me, "What's up with all this porn on your hard drive?"
The key to Pinterest's success is its female user-ship. Just look at this infographic of Pinterest users:
The important figure is the gender breakdown:
Why is Pinterest so much more popular with women than men? Well that's because pinning/scrapbooking appeals to a female sensibility of nesting. Though it may sound sexist coming from me a porn addicted pervert, I'll let Jerry Seinfeld explain this theory in a way that's much funnier and doesn't sound as sexist:
Even though Jerry is talking about TV, the same principle can be applied to surfing the internet for cool content.
Last year, a French survey on porn was conducted and they found that 80% of the women they interviewed watched porn even though most people will tell you that it's only men who watch porn.
Because our site is based off a system that mostly appeals to women and the content traditionally appeals to men, I've been wondering after a year of Sex.com, who uses Sex.com more, men or women? Is Sex.com's pin and board style finally attracting a strong female audience to porn? Or have men learned to nest with the content that they find, debunking Jerry Seinfeld's theory?
So the question I'd like to ask all our users and casual visitors is:
Are you a man or a woman?
Thanks for taking the time to vote and read all this. Now go pin some sexy pictures and porn videos!

Originally written on Philliedelphia | Last updated 11/3/12
A Ryan Madson return? It's on Andrew's Wish List As you have probably noticed, the Phillies struggled in a couple different categories this season, struggles they hadn't faced in some time (bullpen, defense, intense NATITUDE). This year's free agency class is not exactly what fans want to see, but a closer look reveals a plethora of useful players that could be available for a pretty cheap price. In order for the team to return to a winning and successful season, I feel the team needs to address their bullpen needs, as well as third base and the outfield. So here is my 2012-2013 free agency wish list: 1) Ryan Madson, RHP When he was with the team, Madson was as close to clutch as you could be without truly being clutch (figure that one out). His ERA was well under 2.50. His K to IP ratio was over one. And he was giving up between 2 and 3 walks per 9 IP. He also had 32 saves, only blowing his first late in the year. The guy is good. I understand Tommy John surgery is...

Siyo Brothers and Sisters,
I would like to welcome you all into the new year and welcome you on a year long journey with me down the red road. I may be a little early for most but I now live on a little island in Australia and we welcome the sun and new day before my relations on Turtle Island. My resolution this year is to combine my passion of photography with my belief in growing my medicine bundle as I travel the path of life. That bundle being the total of the things I have said and done, that others have said and done to me and all that I have learned to live a harmonious life.
I hope that through this process we can all take something away and add to our own life medicine bundle.
I pay respect and honor our elders and ancestors and to Creator.

Mask (Pwoom Itok)
This mask may have represented a wise older man at boys' initiations. One of the principal Kuba dance masks is called pwoom itok. The chief identifying characteristic is the shape of the eyes, whose centers are cones surrounded by holes through which the wearer sees. Like many Kuba types of masks, pwoom itok is extensively polychromed, or multicolored. This example has a cane headdress covered with raffia cloth with painted designs and detached wooden ears. The top of the headdress was probably originally adorned with feathers, like those worn by high-ranking persons.

The game features characters from both the first and second Cars films. The game story takes place at the end of the second film where Lightning McQueen and friends become part of an international spy agency called C.H.R.O.M.E.The game is a mix of racing and vehicular combat, including lap and time based racing modes and open arena battle modes. Like in other racing games, your goal is to make it to the finish line - however players can pickup items that modify their car with a variety of weapons including missiles, machine guns and satellite EMP blasts.The title also features four player split screen multiplayer. Up to two players can simultaneously participate in the story mode as well.DevelopmentCars 2 was created by Salt Lake City based Avalanche Software, a Disney owned internal development studio. Prior to their work on Cars 2, the team at Avalanche Software was responsible for the Toy Story 3 video game, which earned a "Family Game of the year" award from Kotaku, and a BAFTA nomination for "Best Family Game" of 2010.The game went into production in early 2009 and was released in June of 2011. As with the Toy Story 3 video game, Avalanche Software continued their strong working relationship with Pixar Animation Studios to get the characters, animations, voices and environments of the game feeling 'on brand' with the quality fans expect of Pixar-based properties.System RequirementsMinimum:OS: Windows® 7 / XP SP3 / VistaProcessor: 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 class / AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (or equivalent)Memory: 1 GB of RAMHard Disk Space: 3 GBGraphics Card: 256 MB NVIDIA FX6600 / ATI Radeon X800 (or higher)Sound Card: DirectX 9 CompatibleDirectX: 9MultiplayerConsole multiplayer is 4-player local, and can be played in teams or everyone for themselves.Single Player Race TypesStandard Race - Ten cars go around a track, best time wins The tracks are all based on locations from the movie, though not all (such as an oil rig and an airport) were used as race areas in the movie. Each track has shortcuts, some of which require boosting or jumping to access.Battle Race - Same as a standard race, except with specific weapon power-ups. Weapons are picked up by driving through lit icons on the track, similar to Blur.Survival Challenge - Only two cars. Your car has constantly diminishing shields, which must be kept up by collecting batteries/charges. Each level has one type of power-up weapon, and the car you chase can be targeted for extra points.Hunter Challenge - Smaller timed levels. These use arenas modeled on the race track locations, but are set up as small, self contained free roam areas. Each challenge consists of 5, 2:00 minute waves. Enemy cars spawn in at the start of each wave, and the player uses weapon power-ups scattered through the level to destroy these cars; any remaining cars a the end of each wave simply disappear.

Hey, Castro gave us a "News" Bureau–Whaddaya Expect?!
From the Castro-sanctioned AP just today:
"unless Cuban President Raul Castro's government agrees to release 26 ailing political prisoners."
"the Caribbean island has been ruled by brothers Fidel and Raul Castro since they ousted dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959"
Not that it started yesterday. In fact, from 57-59 the AP's "news" dispatches from New York were authored in full by Julio 26 agent in New York, Mario Llerena--who admits as much in his own book!--and who was main contact from Castro to-- none other than: HERBERT MATTHEWS!
The immensely shrewd and sagacious Llerena, by the way, fled Cuba just ahead of a Communist death-squad shortly before the liberator-saint-hero hailed in his AP press dispatches, took power.

There are five stages in a love relationship. The five stages progress from that early feeling of romantic love that flies away all too soon, to the highest stage known as reality love. These five stages apply to that couple that married in the throes of that wonderful, energizing first stage, and then wonder what happened to it. Let's start at the beginning and go through all five stages.
Stage one: Romantic Love. Romantic love begins with attraction and moves rather quickly to attachment. A young man simply can't live without seeing his beauty, and she can't live without his strong presence. The development of love at this early stage is wonderful. The sun shines brighter, birds sing louder, and world peace is just around the corner. Yes, another characteristic of this stage is an altered state of consciousness. The young love birds can only see the positive traits of their lover, and they are carried away with hope and ecstasy. It is often during this stage that a young man and woman marry, and the feeling lasts for a bit longer. But, it can't last for ever, and soon, there is stage two.
Stage two: Power Impasse. In the power impasse stage you finally realize the perfect package you married actually has some imperfections. They snore too loudly. They burp at the table, something they never did while you were dating. One or the other has never done laundry, and has no plans to start now. And worse. Ecstasy now gives way to frustration, irritation, fear and anger. The illusion is now over, and instead of seeing only the positive traits as in romantic love, all you can see now are the negative traits. You may even purposely look for the bad things in your spouse, and you vilify their attitude, actions, and character. Instead of accepting them as they are, fear and anger drive you to try to change them with coercion, threats and manipulation. Some spouses even become abusive. The love of your life has become your adversary. If you stay at this stage for too long you will likely divorce, or hurt each other badly. Fortunately, for those who will hang in there, better days are coming with stage 3.
Stage three: Awareness. Stage three doesn't mean everything gets better right away, but it means your love is maturing. Instead of just judging your spouse you now begin to look at yourself to see how you may be contributing to the problems. You start to feel a degree of differentiation. In romantic love you were absorbed in each other. In the awareness stage, you realize you are two separate people learning to become one. You've changed your name and living arrangements, but now you need to change your hearts. You may feel anxiety over the state of the relationship, even grief and remorse at the loss of romantic love. But, you also have clarity of thinking, and that will help you move further along the continuum to stage 4.
Stage four: Transformation. You now begin to accept that your spouse may never change some of his or her annoying ways. You realize you can fight them for the next 50 years, or accept them. You release control, meaning you don't try to manipulate or coerce your spouse to live up to your expectations. If anything, in the transformation stage you become the one who changes. You pray and work for patience. If your spouse adamantly refuses to ever do a load of laundry, you start to notice some of the other chores he or she is willing to do, and you appreciate that. You are practicing more positive attitudes and behaviors, and you are working on yourself. In the first two stages love was reactionary, both in the attraction to your spouse and later in your frustration. In stage four it becomes intentional. You think, pray, and act out of commitment.
Stage five: Reality love. If we can endure long enough, we can reach this most rewarding of stages. At this stage, we have survived the illusion of romantic love, the frustration of power impasse, the anxiety of awareness, the freedom of the transformation stage, and we are now ready for the joy of reality love. At this mature level we don't attack our spouse for problems in the relationship: instead, we work with him or her to address the problems. We have become the one of Genesis 2, so that our individual efforts have merged to form a synergistic effect. We accept and appreciate our mate, faults and all. Our goals and passions are traveling the same direction, together. Our love is also our friend, and our joy together can be celebrated in a passionate embrace or simply holding hands during a movie. There is integrity to the relationship, meaning it now has depth, substance and the concrete it needs to hold it together no matter what. This is reality love, and it only comes to those who hang in there through all the ups and downs, joys and woes, that two people in love can experience.
I urge you: hang in there. It's worth it.
Warren Baldwin

Why would anyone put people who are afraid of snakes into a brain scanner, alongside the cause of their fear? To work out what is going on in the brain when people display courage, of course.
This was the strategy used by Uri Nili and Yadin Dudai, at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel, and it showed that courage does not come when we completely banish fear, but through overcoming it enough to act. "A firefighter having to go into a burning building should display courage, but that firefighter is not fearless," Dudai says.
Their observations suggest an area of the brain that could be targeted in efforts to rid people of their phobias.
The researchers examined the brain activity of 39 people with an abnormally strong fear of snakes as they lay on their backs in a functional MRI (fMRI) brain scanner. They were given the option to move a venomless 1.5-metre-long corn snake further away from their heads along a conveyer belt, or to bring it closer, to within a distance as small as 20 centimetres.
Decision time
One participant panicked so much that they had to withdraw from the study, and all said they were scared when they had to choose which way to move the snake. The nearer the snake was, the more scared volunteers said they felt.
However, their bodies told a different story. Dudai and Nili measured tiny changes in sweat, an uncontrollable measure of the arousal generated by fear. Participants sweated least when they showed courage.
The MRI scans showed that numerous brain areas became active when the volunteers had to decide whether to advance the snake or move it away.
Active area
One area previously linked to emotion, the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC), was particularly active when participants brought the snakes closer, but not when they gave in to their fears. The more scared participants said they felt before drawing the snake closer, the busier their sgACCs were.
"If you manage to maintain activity in this area at a high level, you will be able to overcome your fear," Nili says.
He speculates that the sgACC helps stymie natural physiological responses to fear. When volunteers moved the snakes away, low sgACC activity was accompanied by an increase in activity in the amygdalae, parts of the brain linked to the physical arousal that accompanies fear.
The researchers did not detect these fMRI signals when they replaced the snake with a teddy bear, or performed the experiments with snake owners and other people unafraid of snakes.
Daniela Schiller, a neuroscientist at New York University who studies fear and memory, agrees that dealing with this component of fear is the key to conquering it. "You need to shut down this system in order to act," she says.
