New Swansea restaurant The Smoke Haus based on Man v. Food set to open in Wind Street
Posted: November 06, 2012|
You may have seen Man vs Food and fancied giving it a go.
A new Swansea restaurant based on the popular show means that now you can.
From Tuesday, November 13, The Smoke Haus on Wind Street will be offering their customers dishes including pulled pork sandwiches, steaks, brisket and – wait for it – metre long hot-dogs, set in an American diner.
Not forgetting the all-important food challenge. Eat six spicy wings in ten minutes and you'll get a t-shirt and your picture will take pride of place on the wall.
In the show, food enthusiast Adam Richman scours the USA for big food offerings and competes in the all important challenges.
Mark Power, from Swansea, and Jane Myall, originally from Newport, had the idea for the new "dining experience" months ago, but have been waiting for the right venue. Less than 24 hours after La Tasca announced they were pulling out of Wind Street, they managed to secure the site.
Mark admits it's a big venue for a start-up but believes the brand can go far.
"I hope I can take this to Cardiff and further afield eventually," he says.
The pair, along with assistant manager Owen Thomas, wanted to bring something diverse to Swansea, and The Smoke Haus fit the bill.
Mark says it's not just a Swansea first – but says there's nothing like it in the UK.
And even before the restaurant has opened, Mark says people have been getting in touch from around the country wanting to find out more.
Other restaurants have "cherry picked" the best bits, but it's the first time a restaurant has based its menu on the show, according to Mark.
He even went through a list of places that Adam Richman visited and based the name on a Kentucky eatery.
But it's not just a gimmick, the former Pump House manager says. It's all about creating "terrific food" in a fun environment.
"I love Adam Richman's passion for food and I wanted to bring something similar to Swansea," Mark said.
"The food will stand up on its own," he adds.
"We're taking the unfashionable cuts of meat, just like they do on the show, and slow-cooking them."
Even Mark admits he had to stop to eat three times while he was writing the menu, which he says will be reasonably priced food including T-bone steaks, pastrami, stuffed sandwiches, and five-stack beef patties.
But the former Ffynone pupil is the first to admit it's a big task, but says he "loving every minute of it."
"I think we can do this," he says.
"We're giving something back to Swansea, and it's nice that we're local people, having a go, doing something for ourselves."
Mark, 42, says he'll be in the kitchen for a few months before relinquishing the reigns to his trained chefs.
"It's food that our chefs have been really enthusiastic about cooking – and eating."
And there was stiff competition for waiting, bar and kitchen staff, with 300 applicants for just 20 posts.
"There is a real buzz about it. Lots of people are stopping to check out the posters in the window," he says.
The team say they want to emulate the atmosphere that many of the American diners have.
"I want people to feel welcome. In America, people are sitting by the bar, chatting, picking at food. I want to encourage that.
"We'll have high tables in the bar area which will be perfect for that," Mark says.
In another Swansea first, The Smoke Haus will be offering Blue Moon beer – traditionally served with a slice of orange – as well as Coors and American bourbons.
It's all part of the "traditional" feel the team are hoping for.
"It's been difficult to find the right venue, but we didn't give up. I refused to be beaten.
"But it's nice to wake up and every day is different – the challenges are changing daily," Mark says.
The only challenge left to face is in the form of six super-spicy wings – will you be trying it? Be sure to review The Smoke Haus . In the meantime, let's remind ourselves of Richman's own spicy wing challenge.

COPY, then save. Eight threatened species in Brazil, including jaguars, have been earmarked for cloning.
The clones will be kept in captivity as a reserve in case wild populations collapse. Brazil's agricultural research agency, Embrapa, already has 420 wild tissue samples. Within a month it hopes to begin cloning the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), which is classed as "near threatened" on the IUCN Red List of endangered species. Embrapa also hopes to clone the black lion tamarin, bush dog, coati, collared anteater, grey brocket deer and bison.
Conservationists have welcomed the plan, but say the priority should always be to preserve species in the wild by maintaining their habitats.
"While cloning is a tool of last resort, it may prove valuable for some species," says Ian Harrison of Conservation International in Arlington, Virginia. "Experimenting with it now, using species that are not at immediate risk, is important."
Rare animals have been cloned before, including the ox-like gaur, the mouflon, a wild sheep, and even an extinct mountain goat called the Pyrenean ibex, although the only ibex clone died at birth in 2009. Cloning techniques have improved since then, increasing the chances of success.
"The key is foresight, to just save a little piece of skin, blood or other living cells before the genes from these individuals are lost from the planet forever," says Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology in Marlborough, Massachusetts.

My daughter and I encountered the mute, masked Captain Hook in Disneyland's Big Thunder Ranch today, and he seemed unnaturally quiet. I don't want many of the animal characters to talk, but Captain Hook could be as much fun to play as a talker as Cruella. Imagine gifted CMs (and L.A. has many gifted actors) trying to outdo Dustin Hoffman or Jason Isaac's portrayals.
(I have a list of ideas for a talking Captain Hook on post #30 at the bottom of page 2 on this thread. Ridiculously unnecessary link: Would Captain Hook be more fun as a face character? Just click and then go the bottom of the page! )
P.S. Hook currently sports one of my favorite masks, so congrats to its creator!

Haley was once considered one of the most talented gymnasts in the US. She made it to the World Championships, but she walked out of competition in the middle of the finals, costing the American team the gold medal.
Haley has a talk with Coach Vickerman, who convinces her to take up the sport once again—at least until she can enter an upcoming invitational competition. Vickerman convinces her that she can use the prize money from the competition to repay some property damage debts she still owes and leave gymnastics once and for all. Disliking the sport's rigid rules and intense training schedule, Haley is reluctant to come out of retirement. Her attitude toward her fellow gymnasts—as well as her past—causes conflicts. After getting the cold shoulder the first day at the gym, Haley realizes what she is up against.
Haley begins to train at VGA, but she finds that difficult tricks mean nothing without control and execution. She reluctantly asks for Burt's help and begins to show passion for gymnastics once more.
At the invitational, Haley's talent shines and her return from gymnastics retirement seems for the better. But all is not what it seems in the scoring system. She starts to remember one of the many reasons she retired: the flaws in judging. The panels do not look at the difficulty of the move nor do they look at the technique; they merely take deductions for unimportant minor errors. As Haley Graham said, "It doesn't matter how well you do. It's how well you follow their (the judges) rules."
In addition, Haley is severely stressed by her dominating mother, who has arrived to watch the meet. Her conduct at the World Championship ("Worlds") has not been forgotten by the other athletes, and they treat her with open hostility. Haley finally breaks down in the middle of her balance beam routine and, in a repeat of the World Championships, leaves the arena before completing the competition. Before she leaves, she reveals to Vickerman one of the reasons she walked out of Worlds: she discovered that her mother was having an affair with her ex-coach.
Although she did not complete the invitational, Haley continues to train and, with three of her teammates Mina (Maddy Curley) , Wei Wei (Nikki SooHoo) and Joanne (Vanessa Lengies), qualifies for the National Championships. The biased judging leaves her far back in the all-around standings, but this does not keep her out of the event finals.
In the first event final, vault, Mina executes an extremely difficult maneuver perfectly but receives a low score (9.500 out of 10). When Vickerman questions the judges, he learns that Mina was deducted on the technicality of showing a bra strap. Haley is next up, however, instead of vaulting, she shows her bra strap to the judges and forfeits her turn in disgust (otherwise known as a "scratch"). The other gymnasts follow suit, earning a string of zeroes and forcing the judges to award Mina the vault gold medal anyway.
Haley's bold action sparks a movement. The gymnasts talk amongst themselves and realize that if they could choose the winner, the judging would be fair. They convince all the others in the competition to do the same, choosing one person from each event who they deem the best to be the "winner". The winner completes her routine; the others jump on and off the apparatus and earn scores of zero.
It seems the movement will be ruined when Trisha Skillkin, a long-time judges favourite, arrives, and threatens the choice of winners by competing herself. Trisha finally comes to her senses, though, and realises that scratching is for the good of the competition to make a point.
What started out as a gymnastics competition turns into a small revolution for the rules and Haley. Her talents are recognized once more and her future seems to be set with numerous colleges offering her athletic scholarships to compete in NCAA gymnastics.

It's easy to pick up.
I'd create a folder if you were planning to do a lot of downloads via torrent files, for the torrents themselves and the actual files.
Just download the torrent/click the magnet link, open the torrent in uTorrent or any program that does torrents, it'll download, and when it's done, just double click the Torrent and it'll bring you to the download folder. Then there.
If you want to put them onto a device, get a video converter.
I'd suggest Wondershare Video Converter, you can just get the cracked version and it's really fast.

well that's a complicated description. just let the file download from utorrent, then right click when it shows 'seeding' and click 'open containing folder'. Voila

The conservation and management of sharks
Cleaning sharks before bringing them to market
In recent decades, modern technology - combined with access to distant markets - have caused an increase in fishing effort and catches of shark, as well as an expansion of the areas fished. Consequently, there is now concern about the rise in shark catches and the results this has for some shark species populations in several areas of the world's oceans. Sharks often have a low stock-recruitment relationship and long stock recovery times when overfished due to their late sexual maturity, low fecundity, albeit with low natural mortality, and complex spatial structures (size/sex segregation and seasonal migration).
The current state of knowledge of sharks and the practices employed in shark fisheries in many areas is causing problems for their conservation and management due to lack of available catch, effort, landings and trade data, as well as limited information on the biological parameters of many species and their identification. Further, to improve knowledge on the state of shark stocks and facilitate the collection of the necessary information, adequate funds are required for research and management.
There is a need to improve the management of directed shark fisheries and certain multispecies fisheries in which sharks constitute a significant bycatch.
Some countries have specific management plans for their shark catches, which include control of access, regulatory measures, shark bycatch reduction and requirements for full utilization of shark carcasses. But the wide-ranging distribution of sharks, which includes the high seas, and the long migration of many species, make it important to have international cooperation and coordination of shark management plans. At present, few international management mechanisms effectively address the problems arising from the capture of sharks.
International Plan of Action
In order to improve the conservation and management of sharks, the FAO Committee on Fisheries adopted a voluntary International Plan of Action (IPOA-SHARKS) in 1999, within the framework of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.
Principles of the IPOA
States that contribute to fishing mortality on a species or stock should participate in its management. Management and conservation strategies should aim to keep total fishing mortality for each stock within sustainable levels by applying the precautionary approach. Management and conservation objectives and strategies should recognize that in some low-income food-deficit regions and/or countries, shark catches are a traditional and important source of food, employment and/or income. Such catches should be managed on a sustainable basis to provide a continued source of food, employment and income to local communities.
Implementation of the IPOA
The IPOA-SHARKS applies to States in the waters of which sharks are caught by their own or foreign vessels and to States the vessels of which catch sharks on the high seas. States should adopt a national plan of action for conservation and management of shark stocks (Shark-plan) if their vessels conduct directed fisheries for sharks or if their vessels regularly catch sharks in non-directed fisheries. Each State is responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring its Shark-plan. The Shark-plan should aim at achieving the following:

Natural Health CenterRead MoreYou won't find much in the way of chemicals and surgical implements at Richfield Natural Health Center, whose therapists believe that natural and preventative healthcare is the answer to most afflictions. Given their results, it's difficult to argue. They work closely with clients and their physicians, developing custom plans to help tackle issues ranging from stress to chronic pain. Through treatments such as reflexology and elemental aromatherapy, they help clients relax more effectively than squeezing a pillow or screaming into a stress ball.4028 Broadview RdRichfield, OH US
Lake Erie Artists GalleryRead MorePaula Atwell wasn't born an artist. She didn't pursue any art form in college, instead achieving a degree in English and a minor in accounting. After logging years in standard 9–5 jobs, she had an epiphany—it was time to do something for herself. Taking this newfound motivation to action, Paula enrolled in a beading class and followed it with forays into metalsmithing, crafting, and soldering. These experiments in creativity led her to join the Lake Erie Artists co-op in 2003, where she began to show her eclectic jewelry at their booth during local festivals. When the co-op became incorporated in 2005, Paula's business world experience made her an obvious choice to lead the diverse group of artists in forming their own gallery. Today, the co-op-turned-gallery now carries hundreds of art pieces that span a range of media. Producing blown-glass sculptures and handcrafted metal jewelry and pottery, the artists each specialize in a few select media as decided during the gallery's annual game of spin-the-paintbrush. The staff at Lake Erie Artists Gallery is also a strong proponent of local business, encouraging their patrons to browse Shake Square after looking at their wares. In project-oriented classes taught by working artists, students explore jewelry and painting and leave with their handcrafted pieces.13129 Shaker Sq.Cleveland, OH US
Cleveland Museum of ArtRead MoreSince it's founding in 1913, the Cleveland Museum of Art has operated under a simple-yet lofty-mission statement: "For the benefit of all people, forever." In the spirit of that all-encompassing philosophy, the museum features works as disparate as ancient artifacts from the Classical world, lush landscapes from Dutch masters, and pieces from modern icons. Size: the museum stretches across nearly 600,000 square feet, and contains 19 galleries spotlighting 5,800 years of art from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas Eye Catcher: an original cast of Auguste Rodin's Thinker sculptures, this one damaged by a pipe bomb attack in 1970?a crime for which no one was ever charged Permanent Mainstays: internationally renowned Asian, Egyptian, and Indian collections Visiting Exhibit: Yoga: The Art of Transformation, which includes Islamic divination texts, three stone yoginis from a 10th-century Chola temple, and Thomas Edison's Hindoo Fakir, the first film about an Indian subject ever produced Don't Miss: Gallery One, a digital interactive gallery that lets visitors explore works by Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin, and Chuck Close on the largest multi-touch microtile screen in the United States11150 East BlvdCleveland, OH US
Great Lakes Science CenterRead MoreA 150-foot wind turbine heralds the entryway of Great Lakes Science Center. Combined with a 300-foot solar canopy, the turbine supplies 6% of the museum's power but also serves another purpose: to drive home the science center's commitment to research, education, and scientific discovery. Inside the Alternative Energy exhibit, visitors can touch their fingertips to a kiosk that displays real-time and historical data on energy consumption. Or, at the Steamship William G. Mather, visitors can explore a four-story engine room that once propelled the 618-foot flagship. After exploring the lunar lander models and flight simulators of the NASA Glenn Visitor Center, visitors can track moon dust to the Omnimax Theater and absorb scientific knowledge through 11,600 watts of digital sound. In addition to presenting exhibits to more than 300,000 visitors annually, the science center leads the charge on science education. Onsite scientists organize space and curriculum for freshmen in the Cleveland metropolitan school district's inaugural STEM high school. The school teaches in a project-based learning environment where students are encouraged to delve into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.601 Erieside AveCleveland, OH US
Glass Bubble ProjectRead MoreGlass Bubble Project's owners Mike Kaplan and Chris McGillicutty are business partners, friends, and working artists. Beginning in 1998, they repurposed their garage space into a working studio where professional artists and students create side by side, firing delicate one-of-a-kind masterpieces—and, according to Cleveland Magazine, the occasional grilled cheese sandwich—in the shop's 2,000-degree furnace. Their glass-blowing and welding classes teach adults and children to create one-of-a-kind artwork as nearby artists at work bolster creativity. Besides classes, the studio invites guests to watch their free public demonstrations and grants private studio time to artists in need and broken bottles looking for a fresh start. The shop's resident artists craft and sell sconces, chandeliers, and vases from recycled glass and repurposed metal. Nicknamed "Clevetion Glass" to simultaneously lampoon delicate Venetian glass and celebrate Cleveland's heartiness, their blend of industrial parts and elegant glasswork toughens up the décor of private residences and commercial buildings, such as the Ritz Carlton, all across the country.2421 Bridge Ave.Cleveland, OH US
Museum of Contemporary ArtRead MoreA Cleveland institution since 1968, the Museum of Contemporary Art is a major producer of original exhibitions of national and international artists, as well as a supporter of nascent area artists through its PULSE and Wendy L. Moore Emerging Artist Series. Current exhibitions include Seth Rosenberg: The Cleveland Years, a collection of abstract paintings that incorporates old scientific illustrations and references to Social Realism in the 1930s, much like early drafts of the script for According to Jim: The Movie.8501 Carnegie AveCleveland, OH US

We were down visiting some friends in SD this weekend and they were excited to take us to Pizzeria Bruno Napoletano off of Park Blvd. Not bad. There was a good, even char all the way around the crust. The bottom of the pizza was a little limp for my wife's tastes, but I thought it was still alright. I just thought they were a little heavy-handed on the cheese. The San Marzanos were sweet and the crust is 100 % Caputo.

Re: SoCal WFO Restaurants
I had the opportunity to eat at Osteria Mozza AND Mozza Pizzaria last month: Both are owned by Mario Batalli and Nancy Silverton. Mario I'm told is never there. He consulted on the Osteria Menu/Restaurant (they are adjacent to each other; 1 on Melrose Blvd, 1 on Highland Ave, same building, 2 different entrances) and Nancy is clearly in full charge of the wood fired pizza oven & recipes in the Pizzeria.
Pizzeria: REALLY the loudest restaurant I've ever been to. Waitress literally was screening across the table as I asked her to repeat, cupping my ears toward her and we all busted up laughing at how ridiculous it all was. Pizza crust superb. Unique toppings. BUT, we had wfo fired bone marrow: A 7" piece of shank, sawed the long way in half and roasted in wfo so the bone is searing hot, the marrow...HEAVENLY. Served in the long bone like a canoe. Will always order that. Next time, we'll sit along the bar to watch the cooks make and feed pizzas into the oven.

With a few holes apparent in the widespread, internecine Zankou empire, it should be expected that a few other enterprising chicken entrepreneurs might rise up to challenge the chain's Mediterranean poultry crown. Beverly Chicken is one such upstart with the wits to include L.A.'s favorite bird in its name, opening mid-January at Wilshire Center.
The restaurant is the clever invention of the guy who owns the 10 Minute Oil change garage next door. As in, "while you wait for your car to be serviced, may we direct you to a Halal menu of grilled chicken a la brasa, chicken, beef, and kefta kabob, hummus, tabbouleh, falafel, pita, and chicken shawarma on a spit?" Word is, a few oil change customers have even been tempted inside by the lure of some complimentary Middle Eastern spreads. Pretty smart, guys.
At night, the place is also known to turn into a hookah lounge, while prices find a whole chicken for $8.99 and Yelp reviews, whether through influence or genuine quality, are currently edging out at five stars.
Beverly Chicken, 3909 Beverly Blvd. Hollywood; 323-660-8200.

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Poll: Will Alaric Kill Someone in Season 3, Episode 21, "Before Sunset"?
Warning! Spoilers!
All those magical herbs were for naught, fair Bonnie (Kat Graham). Alaric (Matt Davis) is way over the deep end, and we fear he'll never return to his glorious, drunken self. May we add, sob! Things are escalated in Vampire Diaries Season 3, Episode 21, "Before Sunset" — and executive producer Julie Plec says "no one is safe" from the new vampire's wrath.
Pretty much everyone we've seen turn into a vampire has gone out and killed someone shortly after their transformation. Add to that the fact that Alaric is on an unholy mission and may be getting some help from the other side (Esther and her controlling witch ways!), and it's a recipe for a murder.
Do you think Alaric will take out someone we know and love? (We'll leave out any innocent students who just wanted some extra credit, here.)

The City of Los Angeles has this charming program wherein they'll sell you an actually really nice composter for a crazy price ($20! $5 more for worms!) and, if you catch them at the right time, they'll also sit you down and show you how to use it. Lucky for you (and lucky for me!) you/I have me to tell you about cooking up the best pile of rot possible. Here's how this whole thing works:
(A note: I'm one for a "slow"/cold composting method because it's easier and more convenient to add material as it becomes available rather than hoarding it and then creating a brand new pile. What do people do with all that extra garbage between piles, I wonder?)
1. Pick a location: Somewhere with a decent amount of sunlight, but which also gets some shade time during the day.
2. Pick a vessel. You can buy a compost bin or fence off a small area (like one square yard-ish) with chicken wire.
3. Layer equal parts of "browns" and "greens", which are sort of gross categories I think but it roughly breaks down like this:
- Dead + dried leaves and branches (breaks these into smaller pieces0
- Paper (nothing toxic or bleached though — now those brown paper towels make some sense, eh?)
- Cardboard
- Woodchips
- Vegetable trimmings
- Fruit peels and trimmings
- Egg shells
- Coffee grounds
- Cut grass and other "fresh" yard trimmings
4. Add some water. It shouldn't be soaked; moist is what we're going for here.
5. Once a week, add some water (unless it's already looking pretty steamy and wet [Ed. note: sorry, I wish there were other words; gross!]) and turn the pile with a pitchfork.
6. Continue to add and in 4-6 weeks, you should have a some super rich soil down at the bottom that's ready for your garden.
But, just a couple more things:
- Don't be gross and put things like meat, dog/cat waste, or diseased plants in there. Things will get weird.
- If the pile doesn't seem to be breaking down, it's probably too dry. Remember to add water and make sure you have an even amount of those greens and browns.
- Conversely, if it smells like death (um, rot) it's way too wet. Make sure you're turning it every week and try adding some more brown—there's probably not enough.

CR Talks To: Michael Flink, President, ADI Americas : On the Up & Up
A reliance on strong category management is seeing this distributor and its clients successfully through 2011.July 2011 By CR Staff
CustomRetailer: We wanted to talk to you about the directions in which you are leading the brand among residential and commercial custom integrators. Can you give a general synopsis of what your goals and aspirations are?
Michael Flink: In the period between 2003 and 2009, ADI spent a lot of time improving its internal processes and delivery mechanisms in moving to a much higher level of execution, where we now deliver 96 percent on time. We've fine-tuned operations even further, and the company is back in growth mode. The mission I was asked to take on was to look at growing the business with a sales- and customer-focused set of eyes. We're looking to find ways to help our customers grow, which is how we grow.
CR: How is your business divided between serving residential and commercial dealers at this time and is one area growing more than the other?
Flink: So many of our products cross over into both areas; we have 65,000 active customers and handle 15,000 transactions a day. There are areas that we define as very commercial, such as IP video systems and commercial 70-volt type A/V products. We're doing very well in the small- and medium-sized commercial space because we are focused on it. We've added some product lines and are moving into commercial A/V in a big way. We're moving into IP-based video distribution and CCTV systems in a big way.
On the residential side, a lot of that business we had been used to in the past was due to big-bulk home construction, and the overall market was hugely impacted. Interestingly, our business was not impacted as much. What we are seeing with our stronger dealers is that they are adapting very quickly to a theme we have presented, which is selling more content to every customer.
CR: Can you speak about the brand, product and category mix you currently carry?
Flink: There are a couple of dimensions to my answer. One thing we are doing is moving to stronger category management implementation. Traditionally, we've provided a broad product selection; in 2010, we had 50,000 products sold consistently through the year, with about 130,000 parts in our system. Now, however, in each product category, we are becoming deeper in availability of products and narrowing, by just a hair, the selection, to provide consistency across all of our branches. As an example, take monitor mounts. We sell thousands each week. We have 10 brands, and 120 models in stock—but there are not 120 really differentiated products.

Investigators have discovered asbestos littering an open dump at McMurdo Station, an American research base in Antarctica. The station's health and safety directors have declared the landfill site a hazard and closed it until the asbestos can be removed or stabilised.
The discovery was made in January by a team from the government's Argonne National Laboratory, says Jack Ditmars of Argonne. The National Science Foundation (NSF), which operates McMurdo, hired the team to track and characterise waste and pollutants that have accumulated at the base.
'We have no idea how much asbestos there is,' says Tom Forham, director of health and safety for the NSF's Antarctic programme. The asbestos comes from discarded construction materials, demolished buildings and insulation from pipes.
According to Forham, asbestos that is 'capped' in the dump by other materials may not be removed, but will be stabilised instead. 'Removing it could be more of a hazard ...

I often go on food benders. I'll find a dish I fall in love with and then eat it every day for a month. I'm still on my Jennifer Aniston overnight oatmeal for breakfast bender–haven't been able to kick that one yet. I'm also currently on a guacamole run. Lately, somewhere in my day, I have it. Take lunch. I've been having the dip on a piece of thick-cut, multi-grain toast and it's always with a few add-ons like shaved Monterey jack cheese, cilantro, even an egg. Or I'm polishing off a bowl with chips or rice crackers as a snack. The other night I made Halibut for dinner and couldn't' resist adding it to my plate. It doesn't matter if I haven't made tacos. I'll find a way to sneak it in.
When I do this, you know, beat a dead horse, I generally try to find a few other ways to eat my food obsession. It's probably why I've been known to make a bender last six months. I can't even talk about the peanut butter and jelly obsession I had last year. I'm still recovering from that one. Guacamole is no exception. In fact, this version is a mash-up of my latest food orgy paired with one of Scarlett's current addictions, edamame. She's been eating a lot of the little bean lately. In fact, she has a great recipe she made-up using fresh chives and coriander from our garden. I'll have to post that some time soon.
But back to me. This guacamole is a nice twist on the traditional chip pairing. It's a great way to get the kid's involved in the kitchen too. They can have a little fun smooshing the avocado and edamame. It's also definitely a great addition to your summer menu. In fact, feel free to stick it anywhere in your menu, even breakfast. Obviously, I've already tried it there and it's so satisfying and yummy.
Edamame Guacamole
2 avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
1 lime, juiced
1 cup edamame, cooked and mashed with a potato masher
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
In a medium bowl, place avocado and roughly mash them with a fork. Mix in the lime juice, edamame and salt. Then stir in the onion, garlic and cilantro. Taste and add more salt or cilantro depending on personal preference. You can also add a hit of Tabasco sauce if you like your guar with a little heat. I have a friend who loves it like that. Right, Alexa?
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressed down into the bowl against the guacamole and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for an hour and serve with your favourite chips or snack crackers.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a supplier of proofing baskets for bread in OZ? Mainly after a few spiral bannetons but the only place I found is here Bannetons / Bread Proofing Baskets | Sourdough Companion and they are around 30 bucks a pop. Does anyone know any other places that they are available?
Re: Bread Proofing Baskets in OZ

Got them here:

Alabama's perfect season came to an end at the hands of Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M. Was it enough to end the Crimson Tide's run atop this poll? Here are this week's SEC Power Rankings: 1. Alabama (9-1, 6-1) The mighty have fallen, which damages the SEC's chances for its seventh straight national title. Alabama couldn't deflate Johnny Football and didn't slow Texas A&M's offense until the Aggies led 20-0. An uncharacteristic three turnovers including AJ McCarron's first two interceptions in more than a year doomed the Tide. 2. Georgia (9-1, 7-1) Finally, a complete game from the Bulldogs. They had been impressive at times, but put everything together against hapless Auburn. They didn't have a turnover, shut out the Tigers, had only three penalties, two backs rushed for more than 100 yards and could have named the score. The result: UGA is headed to the ATL for the SEC title game. 3. Texas A&M (8-2, 5-2) Most folks had the Aggies written off as another one of Alab...

well made and sturdy, however, does not fit the existing hole of the dog feeder
The bowls are great. A little small for my oldest, but we heap it up! No more noise or chasing bowls across the garage. Sweet!
cheaply made not worth buying ..I gave it away .
I like the concept and the bowls are reasonably nice bowls but much lighter weight than I expected and the instructions say to remove the rubber ring on the bottom of the dish before putting them in the dishwasher.

My 2 and 3½-year old daughters inspired me to overcome the most significant challenge of my life – cancer. Yeah, that's right, cancer – the big C. Not only was the disease threatening my life, it was threatening to unravel our glorious future – together; a future I desperately wanted.
During the dark days of treatment, I agonizingly watched as my body was ravaged by the chemotherapy. But through the pain and despair, I realized my true essence, the truth of who I am - was still intact. This discovery was largely due to my daughter's behaviour. My angels, Katie and Samantha, literally saved me from myself and my heartbreak. While I lay in bed, weak and in pain, my daughters would float into my room – giggling and laughing. Lightness and joy emanated from their souls and permeated the room. They would often be dressed in soft pink ballerina outfits and would twirl around with glee. Their sweet voices would fill the air with shrills of Mommy, Mommy, watch me! They would mystify and enchant me – their beauty and lightness of being was ethereal. They moved me from my thoughts of despair to joy. They'd sing me a special song in their sweet young voices, blow me kisses and the four walls would be filled with our laughter. They saw only my essence, the truth of who I am. And, in that moment – I knew I was the lucky one. I am so blessed to have them in my life. They are my true teachers. They live only in the present moment. They celebrate the everyday magical moments of life. They see only the beauty of this world.
Thank heaven for little girls.

Senior Executive Question
What can I expect from an executive recruiter?
Ideally, executive recruiters locate and place executives who are perfectly suited for jobs that organizations need to fill. Three parties are involved in placement: the recruiter, the employer, and the candidate. However, the recruiter is selling the actual service to the employer. The employer—not the executive seeking the job—is the recruiter's true customer.
How Recruiters Establish Relationships
Recruiters, often called search consultants, describe what they do as a "relationship business." Relationships between employers and recruiters typically rest on formal agreements that spell out fees and services to be provided. In contrast, job candidates should neither pay nor receive fees, resulting in a relationship between recruiters and executives that is not as easy to define.
An employer and a recruiter may start a relationship when the employer invites bids on a search or issues a request for proposals, but there is no such formal process for establishing a relationship between a recruiter and a candidate. Sometimes executives initiate the process, presenting themselves to recruiters by meeting with them in person or by submitting resumes. Other times, recruiters make the first move by posting job advertisements, cold-calling executives, or asking executives if they can provide names of network acquaintances.
How Recruiters Establish Prospective Matches
Successful recruiters are acquainted with vast numbers of executives. Most recruiters maintain a database of resumes and search it using keywords to match job requirements with potential candidate profiles. For example, an employer may want to hire an executive who has integrated organizations following a merger or an executive who has successfully led a financial turnaround. The recruiter would start a search by querying the database for resumes containing those attributes. After finding potential matches, the recruiter begins honing in on the best candidates using part intelligence, part wisdom, and part intuition.
If a resume survives the first round of screening, the recruiter will contact the candidate to establish his or her level of interest in the position. If interest is high enough, the recruiter will begin validating qualifications and checking references and then will set up a screening interview with the candidate. If an executive survives the screening interview, that candidate and approximately four other viable candidates will become the subjects of candidate reports prepared by the recruiter for presentation to the client (the employer).
The employer then decides whether to seek interviews with the candidates or to request a new batch of prospective candidates from the recruiter. Once a candidate makes it to the employer's "short list," the candidate can expect more frequent and substantive contact from the recruiter. The candidate should receive an in-depth assessment of the hiring organization, its leadership team, and its position in the market, as well as information about the community as a place to live. This information is intended to help the candidate prepare for what may be a series of on-site interviews. At this point, however, the recruiter is not necessarily going to advocate for one candidate over another.
Should an executive emerge as the preferred candidate, the relationship with the recruiter will enter an intense phase. Experts recommend that the recruiter be the primary representative in negotiating a mutually acceptable employment agreement and compensation package. A recruiter's constant exposure to compensation arrangements, benefits, and separation provisions enables the recruiter to negotiate an equitable compensation package. Even so, the candidate should have an attorney examine the proposed package before accepting the offer.
Different Types of Recruiters
The process outlined above is fairly representative of working with a recruiter. However, recruiters differ in important ways, and these differences have implications for executive candidates. The most fundamental difference is whether the recruiter is retained or working on contingency.
Retained recruiters generally are the only recruiters serving an employer for a particular search. Since the recruiter is not competing with another firm to fill the job, the employer-paid recruiting fees and expenses are not at risk as long as the recruiter satisfactorily completes the assignment. Historically, retained recruiters handle more senior-level positions.
In contrast, a recruiter working on contingency typically receives a fee only if the employer hires a candidate whom the recruiter presents. Since a recruiter working on contingency does not have an "exclusive" agreement with the employer, the recruiter risks having a competing recruiter fill the job first. Contingency recruiters tend to do less exhaustive candidate screenings. They also usually provide candidates with information about potential employers.
Since contingency recruiters have the incentive to "be there first with the most," they may handle a resume differently than a retained recruiter would. Unless a candidate carefully defines how a recruiter may distribute his resume, the candidate may discover detrimental information has been provided to individuals and organizations he would rather not have know about his availability, possibly causing him embarrassment or jeopardizing his current employment.
Other distinctions among recruiting firms include serving clients in only one industry versus multiple industries, or operating single offices versus multinational locations. A list of Executive Search Firms with a specialized focus in healthcare management is available in the Members Career Resource Center in the Career Services area.
No matter what kind of firm you decide to work with, it is important to keep in mind that the employer who pays the recruiter's fee is the real client. Consequently, you must adjust and limit your expectations of the relationship between you and the recruiter. If you wish to work with executive recruiters to make a job change, working with several will be in your best interest since a recruiter typically can only present your credentials to one client at a time and no one recruiter has access to all the opportunities that might be right for you. Finally, relying on executive recruiters should not replace your personal networking efforts. The two activities are complementary.

This is a list of episodes of QI, the BBC comedy panel game television show hosted by Stephen Fry.
The first series started on 11 September 2003. Although not mentioned at the time, all of the questions (with the exception of the final "general ignorance" round) were on subjects beginning with "a" (such as "arthropods", "Alans" and "astronomy"). The following four series continued the theme: the second series' subjects all began with "b", and so on.
The dates in the lists are those of the BBC Two broadcasts. The episodes were also broadcast on BBC Four, generally a week earlier (as soon as one episode finished on BBC Two, the next was shown on BBC Four). Aside from Alan Davies and not adding clip shows, there are six guests that have appeared in ten or more episodes (out of 61), they are Jo Brand (18), Rich Hall (16), Phill Jupitus (16), Bill Bailey (15), Sean Lock (14) and Clive Anderson (10).

Some call this the Neiman Marcus Million Dollar Cookie Recipe- some The $250 cookie recipe. We just call them great chocolate chip cookies that taste like a million dollars!

If you have, this recipe below should serve to refute it. Copy it, print it, or pass it along to friends and family. It's a terrific recipe. And it's absolutely free.

Appeals court backs NFL lockout
Professor William Gould spoke with Sam Farmer in this Chicago Tribune article on the NFL lockout and how a new ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit is a victory for the owners.
In a decision that is significant but not surprising, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued a ruling in favor of the NFL on Friday, five weeks after hearing oral arguments on whether the league could lock out its players.
The lockout will remain in place -- something the appellate court strongly indicated in its preliminary opinion in May.
The 34-page decision comes as, by all accounts, the NFL and players are making substantial progress toward a new labor deal, a critical juncture considering training camps and exhibition games are less than a month away.-------
"Obviously this appears to be a great victory for the owners," said Stanford law professor William B. Gould, former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. "But both sides had to be bargaining in anticipation of this kind of ruling."

Robert Edward Lee (19th January 19, 1807 - 12th October, 1870) was appointed commander of the Army of Northern Virginia (the Confederate eastern army) in 1861. Earlier in 1861 President Lincoln had invited Lee, already a distinguished soldier and tactician, to take command of the Union Army, but he refused and chose instead to remain loyal to his home state of Virginia when it seceded from the Union.

text: The D'Airain Aventure wiki last edited by pikahyper on 02/10/15 08:43AM View full history ASHLEY WOOD EMBARKS ON AN ENTIRELY NEW AVENTURE Ashley Wood has been re-thinking, renouncing and revitalizing typical approaches to comic books since he entered the industry over a decade ago. Whether it be through his work on creator-owned titles like Popbot and Lore, his revival of '70s horror magazines in Doomed, his groundbreaking work on Metal Gear Solid, or his series of art books like Sencilla Fanta and Swallow, Wood has continued to push the boundaries of what comics fans should expect from the medium. But never before has he used words and pictures in such a cohesive, ground-breaking way as his January-bound new title, D'Airain Aventure.It's easier to describe what this new title isn't than to quantify what all it is. It isn't going to have any ads—instead, it will offer a full 32 pages of story and art, and even go so far as to debut with front and back cover flaps, both of which will also be adorned by Wood cartoons; it isn't going to be your typical comic book adventure—instead, it will consist of a series of overlapping stories and vignettes, and feature characters from Wood's Les Mort 13 to Popbot to possibly even Aleister Crowley's offspring, and much more.Coming along for the ride to aid and abet Wood are his wife, Lore co-writer T.P. Louise, and Chris Ryall, Wood's co-Eisner-loser for Doomed and co-creator of Zombies vs. Robots. But make no mistake—this book is top to bottom the complete synthesis for Ash's vision of what a comic book could be."When I hear someone say they're going to do a project that illustrates the ultimate potential of the comic book, I roll my eyes," said Chris Ryall, who will contribute the 5-page 'Black Magick' to each issue. "But when Ashley Wood says it, all my eyes do is get bigger, in anticipation of seeing these words come true from one of the few people talented enough to back up that claim."Collected in Zombies vs. Robots Omnibus.

Francisco without the San
The DVS Fransisco is the best shoe, I mean slipper you can buy. It has a nice EVA sole that will stand up to the elements of the outdoors while still allowing comfort and durability. I've had the same pair for years. Don't work a full day in these unless you sit down. Not the best for support. They'll keep those piggies warm. Don't be afraid to wear them while hand watering your lawn in a robe, your boxers, and knee high socks. A frothy, amber colored beverage goes nicely too.

Latest Stats (2014)
Student Funding
Each SGO determines the amount of scholarships it distributes.
Student Eligibility
Children are eligible to receive scholarships if their family income does not exceed 150 percent of Alabama's median household income ($62,361 in 2012) and their family income does not exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty level ($47,100 for a family of four in 2013-14). Also, qualifying students
must (1) be younger than 19 years of age, (2) be public or private school students zoned to attend a public school designated as failing, or (3) have been a non-graduate scholarship recipient in the previous school year under this program, regardless of household income. Alabama defines a public school as
failing if it meets one or more of the following requirements: The school is labeled as persistently low-performing by the Alabama State Department of Education; the school is designated as a failing school by the state Superintendent of Education; the school does not exclusively serve a special population of students; or the school has been listed three or more times during the most recent six years in the lowest 6 percent of public K-12 schools on the state standardized assessment in reading and math. If an SGO has scholarship funds unaccounted for on September 15 of each year, scholarships may be made available to low-income students in public school, regardless of whether or not their assigned public school is considered failing.
Legal Developments
The Alabama Education Association (AEA) filed a lawsuit in state court claiming the refundable tax credit
and tax-credit scholarship programs violate the state constitution's provision regarding public funds
being used for charitable and religious institutions. The lawsuit also invokes several provisions of the
state constitution governing the procedures by which legislation is enacted and programs are funded. In
October 2013, a Montgomery judge granted a motion to allow parents from Montgomery and Mobile to
intervene as defendants in the lawsuit. The parents are represented by the Institute for Justice, a publicinterest
law firm that defends civil liberties. The Institute for Justice and the Alabama's attorney general
are both seeking dismissal of the lawsuit. The AEA plaintiffs moved for a motion for judgment on the
pleadings asking the court to grant judgment in their favor now as to all of their claims that don't concern
the means by which state dollars flow to religious schools. The hearing on all the motions in the state case
will be as early as mid-January 2014.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) also filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming the school choice
programs violate equal protection. Alabama's attorney general is seeking dismissal of the lawsuit.
Rules & Regulations
• Income Limit: 150 percent x median household income and under 200 percent federal poverty
• Prior Year Public School Requirement: SGOs are required to give at least 75 percent of scholarships to first-time recipients of scholarships who were not continuously enrolled in a private school during the previous year.
• Geographic Limit: Statewide
• Enrollment Cap: None
• Scholarship Cap: Full Tuition
• Testing Mandates: State achievement tests or nationally recognized norm-referenced tests
• Credit Value: Corporations can receive a 100 percent tax credit for 50 percent of tax liability. Individuals can receive a tax credit worth up to $7,500.
• Total Credit Cap: Yes
• Budget Cap: $25 million

West Remembers 15 Fallen, 1 Year Later
Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the fertilizer plant explosion that killed 15 and injured over 200 in the West. Much of the town gathered at a memorial last night to remember the fallen.
West has a population of fewer than 3,000 people, there were reports of over 2,000 people gathered at the city's rodeo grounds last night. The crowd held a minute of silence at 7:51 pm, commemorating when last year 270 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer was detonated by a fire at the West Fertilizer plant. Tommy Muska eulogized some of the firefighters who died in the blast.
"I woke up this morning thinking what was going on in heaven," Muska said. "And I could see Lucky: he's working on Boots Up II and I could see Buck and he's trying to weld on the Pearly Gates. And knowing Joey he's counting the gold bricks on the sidewalks up there and Cody's probably fixing up some fertilizer so St. Matthew can go do the yard. Snokhouse boys are sitting under a tree drinking a beer with their Bar B Que pit and showing how Luke and John how much better Bar B Que brisket tastes than that smoked fish they used to eat."
Muska continued by giving a speech on the state of the City of West. The city is still in the process of rebuilding schools, roads and infrastructure like water and sewer lines. Muska focused on the emotional state of the city.
"The state of West is that the city will have a new normal, we just don't know what that normal's gonna look like yet," Muska said.

Evangelicals Left Off 9/11 Memorial Events
Two high-profile memorial services for September 11 have drawn protests from faith leaders and religious organizations who have objected that an event plans de-emphasize the role that Christians played in the aftermath of the attacks.
President Obama will attend an event at the Washington National Cathedral on the evening of September 11 where he will deliver remarks at what appears to be a more secular service but is expected to include some form of benediction.
A 9/11 interfaith prayer vigil at the Cathedral earlier in the day will include Cathedral Dean Samuel T. Lloyd III, Bishop of Washington John Bryson Chane, Rabbi Bruce Lustig, Washington Hebrew Congregation, Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche of Tibet, Buddhist nun and incarnate lama, Dr. D.C. Rao, a representative of the Hindu and Jain faiths and Imam Mohamed Magid.
A representative of the Southern Baptist Convention pointed out that the list of prayer participants does not include any evangelicals. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, protested that for a church service, the line-up seemed better suited for a meeting of the United Nations.
According to Richard Weinberg, the National Cathedral's director of communications, the choice of participants emphasized diversity in order to "appeal to as many in the country as possible."
"The Cathedral itself is an Episcopal church and it stands to reason that our own clergy serve as Christian representatives," he told Fox News Radio.
In comparison, on Sept. 14, 2001, evangelist Billy Graham spoke at the National Cathedral, speaking explicitly of Jesus on the cross as the comfort in a time of great need.
New York City's 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero, which both Obama and former President George W. Bush plan to attend, does not include any members of the clergy. Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) wrote to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to request that prayer be included in the event.
"On September 11, 2001, our nation prayed," wrote Forbes, who is co-chair of the Congressional Prayer Caucus. "And on September 11, 2011, our nation will pray once again."
Bloomberg's office suggested that it wanted to avoid disagreements.
"It has been widely supported for the past 10 years and rather than have disagreements over which religious leaders participate we would like to keep the focus of our commemoration ceremony on the family members of those who died," said Evelyn Erskine, a spokeswoman for Bloomberg, in an e-mail to CNN.
Smaller ceremonies including one hosted by the New York Police Department will include prayers by the NYPD chief of chaplains for and the Archbishop emeritus of New York.
The nation's response to September 11 included plenty of prayer in 2001, though not without controversy. Media mogul Oprah led the nation in an interfaith rally that included Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu clerics televised from Yankee Stadium just days after the attacks. Following the event, Lutheran pastor David Benke was suspended by his denomination after suggestions that he mixed religion for adding his prayer on stage.
This year's commemorative events mostly steer clear of overt religious themes. Sarah McLahlan and a wreath ceremony are featured at the dedication of the new National United 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 10, which both Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will attend.
The Obama administration has also promoted 9/11 as a "Day of Service and Remembrance," urging Americans to perform acts of service in tribute. And members of Congress will participate in a moment of remembrance and a Congressional Remembrance Ceremony on the steps outside the Capitol on September 12, where members of Congress gathered to sing a spontaneous rendition of "God Bless America" in 2001.
The approach of the tenth anniversary has prompted a variety of ceremonies that seek to remember the event—and highlight the fact that 10 years after the fact, Americans remember the terrorist attacks in very different ways.

WILSON, N.C. –The butterflies of the squad's first ever team appearance in an NCAA regional were quickly shed as the quintet posted a four-over 288 to conclude day one of the NCAA South/Southeast regional in fourth place. Leading the group was Mark McGuire, as he fired a two-under 69 at the par-71, 6, 739-yard Wilson Country Club. The team sits just six shots out of first place.
Currently, Lander University claims the overall lead, as they wrapped-up action with a two-under 282. Barry (one-under 283) and Nova Southeastern (one-over 285) stand second and third, respectively. Individually, Valdosta State's Chesley Gunn is the overall leader posting a four-under 67 in the 108-person field. Also, five of the six Sunshine State Conference school's claim a spot in the top nine positions in the 20-team field.
As for SLU, McGuire may have been the last individual to tee-off for the Lions, but he quickly jumped in front of most competitors carding a two-under 69. In front of friends and family, the senior sunk 16 pars and added two birdies en route to a fourth-place finish.
Nipping at his heels was teammate JP Albuquerque. Albuquerque, a fellow senior, tamed the course with four birdies as he finished play with an even-par 71 and in a tie for 11th-place.
Freshman Nick Brothers and junior Tom Lynn also contributed solid scores to the final total, as each fired three-over 74's. Brothers played consistent golf for the majority of the afternoon compiling 15 pars over the course of 18-holes. Lynn was also steady with the putter, saving par on over 10 different occasions.
On the first day success head coach Ray Cisbani stated, "We achieved great things on day one and look forward to improving our position over the coming rounds. We believe in each other and know we can accomplish great things."
The squad will hit the links early Tuesday morning for second round play. Nick Brothers will be the first to tee-off at 8:20 a.m. EST. Once again, the top-five school's from each region will secure a spot in the finals.
Live coverage of the event, as well as tee times, can be found at the links below.

The SAEM released its educational milestones on their website this week; these are a comprehensive set of skills that every emergency physician should possess by the time they graduate residency. The resident's level of competence for each skill is graded on a 5 point scale.
The significance of the publication of these milestones is great. I have often advocated to reevaluate the arbitrary means of granting graduation in medical education. Just because you got through 3 or 4 years of residency, does not mean that you deserve to graduate residency (the same goes for medical school). To be elevated from one level to the next, you should be required to prove that you have hit the necessary milestones to move on to the next level. The recently published milestones can help make that a reality, and introduce a better system to ensure our patients that the physicians who take care of them are truely competent. The ridiculousness of standardized paper board exams may be done away with or at least deprioritized.

About GHOST HUNTERS:
Syfy's hit original series "Ghost Hunters" returns with brand new cases and a new team member. In the Season 9 premiere, "Hollywood Horror Stories," Jason Hawes leads TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) - including new team member Michelle Tate - on a pair of spooky cases in California, starting with an investigation at the historic Sowden House, the Lloyd Wright-designed home said to be the site where Elizabeth Short, aka "The Black Dahlia," was gruesomely murdered in 1947.
Next, TAPS heads to Madame Tussauds Hollywood. As if being alone in the dark with hundreds of life-sized wax figures wasn't creepy enough, the team learns that museum staffers have experienced unexplained phenomena - shadows, footsteps, the eerie feeling of being watched - which may have ties back to actor Victor Kilian's nearby 1979 murder.
"Ghost Hunters" is produced for Syfy by Craig Piligian's Pilgrim Studios ("Dirty Jobs," "The Ultimate Fighter," "Top Shot"). Piligian and Thomas Thayer, along with Mike Nichols and Alan David, serve as executive producers.
