A school- or districtwide digital learning strategy provides a paddle to help steer your organization toward its learning and teaching goals. It's the shared vision educators rally around to guide effective technology implementation. In Wisconsin, award-winning ed tech advocate Kurt Kiefer helped develop a statewide digital learning strategic plan that serves as a blueprint for schools as they transition toward digital age instructional models. Here, we share his ideas.
In 2012, 80 percent of school district IT leaders predicted flat or declining IT budgets. That was one trend uncovered in the Consortium for School Networking's 2013 survey. Their 2014 survey is currently underway. In the meantime, here are 10 key findings from last year's report.
Math movies. Yoga. Thanksgiving e-books. Don't expect the typical at Stonegate Elementary, where teachers are told to try anything that might kindle the flame of student success. That's the mantra of Principal Stan Machesky and his staff: innovative teachers inspire not only through the creative tools they craft, but by being models of learning that students can emulate.
The Wake County Superior Court judge issued the ruling after allowing the Institute for Justice to intervene on behalf of two parents hoping to use the Opportunity Scholarships to send their children to private schools.
Forget wood shop and auto shop: Students at San Bernardino City Unified's Indian Springs High School are going to learn computer-aided design of prosthetic limbs, print them on high-end 3D printers and finish the end result.
FSSD in Tennessee will seek another instructional technology specialist to support and lead educators and students. These specialists help integrate technology within daily lessons; one will focus on prekindergarten through fourth grade and the other grades 5-8.
Waukee will become the latest Iowa school district to install a high-tech software program, called the Raptor Visitor Management System, that screens visitors to ensure they are not in the national database for sex offenders.
Community Consolidated School District's leadership academy is teaching administrators how to coach teachers. Altogether, each administrator receives an annual 63 hours of PD focused on building the leadership skills needed for the 21st-century classroom.
At least three New York districts are considering plans to sell vacant buildings to developers, proposals that have aroused varying levels of community anger.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded a decision made two years ago which dismissed a suit by parents who objected to the school uniform.
The draft is expected to be released Wednesday as part of a fast-paced schedule allowing the State Board of Education to vote on a final version in early April, so teachers can plan fall course ¬lessons.
Clark County may return to an old policy that required the superintendent to obtain board permission in public meetings for changes to admin personnel following a case allegedly involving a high-ranking official inappropriately influencing a hire.
For the last six years, Oregon parents have watched state and local budget-making. Next year, districts across the state will stop cutting and start rebuilding. As money comes back into district coffers, what should be on parents' minds?

Y'all Play Nice. SEC Week Seven

Every Thursday, CFN's Brian Harbach and Russ Mitchell break down the SEC games you need to watch, the SEC questions you want answered, and of course, the SEC Power Rankings. All things SEC from two different SEC writers, with two different SEC points of view. One of 'em always right. Now y'all play nice.
(i) Who had the best SEC performance this weekend (Team or Player)?
Russ Mitchell:
We could go with Hog QB Tyler Wilson and his impressive performance against the defending champions...'cept Auburn has the worst pass efficiency defense in the conference. Or we could go with Bama's A.J. McCarron and his stellar job tattooing the Vandy defense for 23/30, 237, and four touchdowns…'cept it was tight until the second half, when Bama's superior depth/size wore down Vandy and made the pickings far easier. Same for MSU's Tyler Russell and his scorching second half...against UAB. Or we could go with fill-in-the-blank-LSU-or-Alabama-defensive player…'cept that's almost starting to get boring. Almost. But is there really any doubt – South Carolina's
Connor Shaw
, starting in just his second game, showed the country that, yes Virginia, SC does have a passing game. True, it was Kentucky, but few (including this writer) saw Shaw lighting up the Cats for 26/39, 311 yards and four touchdowns to zero interceptions. That's a 168 quarterback rating. Given all the pressure swirling around Shaw and Columbia, for a young quarterback that was an award winning performance.
Brian Harbach:
Full steam ahead on the
Tyler Wilson Wagon
... Sure, Russ might accuse me (probably doing so right now) of being biased towards the best quarterback in the SEC (RM NOTE: Second best to UT's Tyler Bray (more below), and only faced two SEC defenses), but there is no argument that after losing an NFL talent like Ryan Mallett, Arkansas has not skipped a beat. The Razorbacks are headed for back to back ten win seasons and are still in the hunt for the SECCG and a BCS bowl. This is all after their best player, Knile Davis, went down with a season ending injury before taking one snap. Everyone got excited about Wilson's potential after he filled in nicely for an injured Mallett last year at Auburn, and while some were more convinced of Auburn's poor secondary than Wilson's skill, they were wrong.
The numbers against Auburn were good, not the 500 yards against Texas A&M good, but good enough to put Auburn away quickly and just run the ball in the second half. Wilson completed 24-36 passes for 262 yards and two scores; he also had a rushing touchdown in the game. Tyler continues to improve under Bobby Petrino, who seems to be able to turn any person with two legs and one arm into an All SEC caliber QB. There is a lot of football left, but for a second consecutive year, we can say that Arkansas is still very relevant in the SEC race at the midway point.
(ii) Was that egregious celebration by LSU punter Brad Wing or not?
Right. Next we're going to start handing out participation trophies.
If THAT'S egregious, we're in trouble
. If that's egregious, games are going to have a fraction of the normal points. On Saturday, I counted more than a half-dozen acts of pre-scoring showboating that were as egregious, if not more egregious/unsportsmanlike, than Wing's...
in the SEC alone
. Moreover, if the true purpose of this new rule is to somehow mitigate taunting in college football, I counted more than a dozen acts of taunting in just the Florida v. LSU game that far exceeded Wing's behavior, yet none of those were called for their appropriate unsportsmanlike violations.
So basically the referees were looking to make that call. If so, they were trying to make themselves part of the game, and when that happens it's always bad for the game.
Given the fallout from Saturday, this is likely to be the first and last time this penalty is flagged in 2011, baring something
egregious, and the rule will quietly go away after this season. If so, this will be the second time LSU has borne the brunt of such a silly rule, except the first time it cost the Tigers a game.
Recall the Auburn "Extra Point" game, September 18, 2004, when LSU DB Ronnie Prude was called for a Leaping penalty for landing on an Auburn player with 1:14 to play, after Auburn missed an extra point to take the lead. Auburn got to kick again, and won 10-9. That was the first and last time that penalty was ever called…let's hope it's the same for this misguided rule.
What Brad Wing did on his touchdown run against Florida was exactly what any other punter would have done when that opportunity is presented. He celebrated, he bragged a little, he showed up the Florida punt return team with a short "prime-time" display... But
it should never have been called a penalty
by the officials, because if it wasn't the punter it would have been ignored. Wing's problem was that he was the punter, and when a punter does something different to draw attention to himself it is magnified one hundred times compared to a typical position player about to score.
This is nothing more than punter profiling, and we will not sit quietly by and allow SEC officials to blatantly single out punters when this stuff is happening all over the conference (and the rest of CFB for that matter). If Wing's arms had been held out the entire trip down the sideline or if he decided to high-step the last 15 or so yards there would have been more of an argument to throw the flag for egregious behavior, but give me a break. Even though Les Miles uses his special teams players more than any other coach in the country in those kinds of situations…how many times is Wing going to get a chance to score a touchdown? Isn't college football supposed to be fun? We will give Wing credit for the score, but what is up with LSU and celebration penalties. The AJ Green/Charles Scott incident from 2009 still leaves a nasty taste in the mouth of some UGA fans, and many think that game was the impetus for this rule. Maybe this is karma for LSU...still,
if this was egregious, CFB is about to get boring
(iii) What every SEC fan should be talking about after week six, but isn't?
Well that leaves out anything to do with November 5 (x3), LSU's Tyrann Mathieu, a honey badger (really any kind of badger), and anything to do with Stephen Garcia… (i) Speaking of Mr. Garcia…we don't know what demons that young man is struggling with, but we hope he finds some peace and resolution before moving on with the next stage of his life, (ii) We at YPN aren't sure what it is with Tennessee QBs and LSU redemption, but recall one Rick Clausen, himself previously an LSU Tiger, entering the Monday night game in September 2005 (the delayed Hurricane Rita game), down 21-0, and leading a furious second half comeback victory. All the more impressive given Les Miles has only lost two night games in Death Valley (the second being the 13-3 defeat to then #1 Florida in 2009). After last year's bizarre participation penalty and Tiger victory after time expired in regulation, Matt Simms will get the chance for redemption given the broken thumb of Tyler Bray. I said a chance, (iii) How important is Bray? He leads the conference in offensive yards with 304 /game. The next best is Arkansas' Wilson with 298, after which it drops to UGA's Aaron Murray at 219. But it's not just total yards…(iv) Bray also leads the conference in passing efficiency with a 165 QB rating, good enough for 11th best in the country. The next best is, again, Mr. Wilson, who is 12 points lower at 153. To give you an idea of that gap, there are
SEC quarterbacks in a 12 point range between Wilson's 153 and A.J. McCarron's 145… (v) How important is Bray, take three:
in its two SEC games to date, the Vols have rushed for negative 29 yards
. That's not a typo, and no, I haven't been drinking, (vi) The Vols next three games are LSU, @ Alabama and South Carolina…three of the SEC's top four defenses; the recently played UGA being the fourth. Talk about brutal stretches… (vii) Speaking of UGA, the Dawgs will only face three ranked teams in 2011 (Auburn's unlikely to stay ranked with LSU up next week), and they will likely lose all three. Shades of 2008… (viii) If UGA backs into the SEC championship game to face either LSU or Alabama, they will lose all four, (ix) In SEC games, no team has given up more first downs than Florida - course, they're one of only three teams to play four conference games. Ole Miss, Arkansas & Tennessee have only played two –
which might have something to do with Bray's and Wilson's stats, now that you mention it
), (x) Wow, Ole Miss still has six conference games to go, (xi) For those of you waiting for this LSU defense to graduate, grab a chair…
More than 50% of LSU's 22 man, 2-deep defense is comprised of underclassmen
(12-14, depending on who's roster you believe). By comparison, Bama has just five underclassmen on its 22 man, 2-deep... Could that experience be the difference on Nov. 5? And (xii) Once again, the conference has only one team ranked in the Top 25 in total offense (Arkansas #23), but still has six in total defense (Alabama #3, LSU #5, UGA #6, SC #9, Florida #11, and Vandy #21).
The Stephen Garcia era is over in Columbia, and while many Gamecock fans are glad he is gone, it is unfair to cast all the blame in one direction and not look at the big picture. While I am ultimately a big believer in personal responsibility, Steve Spurrier and Eric Hyman did an absolute disservice to Garcia while he was a member of the Carolina football team. Many people want to know why it took so long to boot Garcia and the reason is simple: Spurrier needed him.
Look at the eight years of quarterbacks Spurrier has started while in Columbia: Tommy Beecher, Stephen Garcia, Blake Mitchell, Syvelle Newton, Connor Shaw and Chris Smelley.
That's six quarterbacks in eight seasons who have started games for South Carolina
. When you look at that list it's easy to see why Garcia was kept around. Because Garcia was needed, he was never dismissed when he clearly should have been. As my colleague Russ wrote earlier this week, Garcia struck out...twice (five suspensions before being kicked off the team). Some players - some people - need to know there are serious consequences to their actions in order to correct the problem, and the longer that lesson takes the more damage is created; which often then takes the person longer to unravel. If South Carolina had dismissed him earlier in his career he might be a very different person today. He might have become a better player for a different team. Certainly it also could have turned out worse, but the simple fact is South Carolina did not cut him loose because of his arm strength and experience. And that's pretty sick given the number of offenses...even in our jaded world of SEC football.
After eight years in Columbia, the quarterback situation is still a train wreck for Steve Spurrier. At Carolina he has failed time and again to develop any consistency at the position, and that forced him to keep Garcia. The problems are owned by Garcia, but the discipline was non-existent and was a big part of the problem. The Garcia chapter is a sad one; everyone could have done something different, and Spurrier and the Carolina Athletic Department deserve an equal amount of scorn. Now all the HBC can do is coach up Connor Shaw, hope he stays healthy and move on; SC has a big game this week, and there is no time for pity in the SEC.
IN FOCUS: Which SEC Coach/Player is in the Spotlight this week?
Chris Rainey, Florida Running Back
– Ok, stop talking, tweeting and texting, and listen. This is it, kid. You don't have a ton of goodwill to begin with, in case you're living under a rock, and in the last two games your production has dropped off a cliff. A 57-yards-on-24-carries (2.38 ypc) cliff. However, you feasted on poor run defenses in the month of September, and guess what? Up next is the Auburn Tigers, whose run defense is ranked a woeful 103rd in the nation (11th in the SEC). That's considerably worse than Tennessee's (55), and you gouged them for 108 yards on 21 carries. Of course, the difference is without John Brantley under center, it stands to reason the Tigers will sell out to stop you. That and head coach Will Muschamp has made it clear you'll be sharing snaps with backup Mike Gillislee. It's now or never…step up and shine, or be an also ran. Literally.
Tyler Russell, Mississippi State QB
– It is Russell's time. Against UAB last week, he threw the ball with some authority and showed good touch and arm strength. With a ranked South Carolina team coming to town and Dan Mullen needing something to spark his team, Russell's chance has to be this weekend. For his career, Chris Relf has been great for MSU. He helped turn the program in the right direction and led the offense exactly how he was asked...but he is too limited as a passer to take MSU to the next level. Tyler Russell is the future, but is he the now? He needs a solid performance at home to prove he's ready to be the BMOC. He is going up against a South Carolina secondary that has played better than expected this year, mostly due to a great Gamecock defensive line; so Russell will be challenged at every level of the defense. State fans should be excited to see what he can do; the rest of the SEC should pay attention as well.
1 LSU – In six games, LSU's punt coverage team has allowed just five yards…total
1 Alabama – Stay focused. Injuries happen when you lose focus…
4 South Carolina – Welcome Mr. Shaw
– Given the faults on both lines, a great season so far
– All's well in Athens
– Third straight physical game…
– Can they rebound from 1st SEC loss since 2009 Iron Bowl?
Miss State
– Might be time for Russell; 268 QB rating in 2H last week
– This is what it must feel like to be tied to train tracks
10 Vandy – At some point, your offense IS going to have to score points again
12 Ole Miss – Would be lower, but have only played two SEC games
12 Kentucky – 4 of last 5 SEC games against Miss St, UT, Vandy and Ole Miss. Look above.
1 LSU – Contrary to some Gator's opinion, the LSU secondary is that good
2 Alabama – Steamrolling through October until the LSU game
3 Arkansas – Tyler Wilson…man crush
6 Auburn – There is no difference between any of the sixth place teams…listed alphabetical
6 Georgia – see Auburn
6 South Carolina– see Auburn
Florida (down from 4)
– Mr. Burton, Mr. Rainey…please be quiet
8 Tennessee – We never thought we would see Mr. Simms again, but here we are
9 MSU – Chris Relf has represented MSU well and will do so as the backup QB
10 Vanderbilt – Here comes Aaron Murray
12 Kentucky – Winner on November 5th gets the 11 spot
12 Ole Miss – see Kentucky
Florida vs. Auburn; Saturday, October 15th
. Florida is one seriously banged up football team, physically and mentally. Now it must travel again, this time to the Plains of Auburn, for its fourth straight SEC game. Florida can't stop the run, and fortunately for Auburn it's the only thing they can do well. In his last two games (SC and Arkansas), Auburn's sophomore sensation Michael Dyer has rushed for 253 yards on 62 carries. Just as importantly,
Auburn has zero fumbles on the year
. Florida, by the way, is ranked second to last in the conference in turnover margin. If you want to focus on something this Saturday, watch how many yards Auburn's backs get after initial contact, and in particular, whether Florida's linebackers can halt their recent trend of getting bowled over. This is a tired Florida team and it will show down the stretch on Saturday…
Auburn 20, Florida 13
South Carolina vs. MSU; Saturday, October 15th
. Yes, Mississippi State has been beset by injuries, particularly on its offensive line, but everyone has injuries at the midway point – ask Tennessee and Florida. I was asked earlier this week who my biggest disappointment of the first half was, and it's Chris Relf. After the season opener against Memphis, the fifth year senior has shown none of the poise he developed as 2010 progressed. He's actually gotten worse with each game in 2011. It puzzles me why most folks think this game will be close. Outside of it being Shaw's first conference road start, Miss St is ranked eighth in the SEC in total defense, eighth in pass efficiency defense, eighth in run defense, will likely be starting a new quarterback against a SC team that's ranked ninth
in the nation
in total defense and fifth in pass efficiency defense. Where SC has had some issues is in stopping the run – though those numbers are largely skewed by the Auburn game and having to play Navy's run-happy wishbone offense…
South Carolina 24, MSU 14
LSU vs. Tennessee; Saturday, October 15th
. Do we really have to pick this game? What a light slate. Last week, LSU's defense held another new starting quarterback to just 32 yards of offense and zero points up to the final drive of the first half. They also forced two turnovers, had none themselves, and ran for 238 yards (5 ypc) against the same defense that held Tennessee to negative nine yards rushing. The Tigers' biggest worry in this "contest" will be complacency…
LSU 45, Tennessee 9
Record: 14-4
Florida vs. Auburn; Saturday, October 15th
. This has always been a fun series full of great games and crazy finishes. The last few Auburn/Florida games have been classic. Five years ago, Auburn upset Florida in Jordan Hare in a season the Gators lost just one game and won a BCS Championship. The next year in the Swamp, Auburn brought in three true freshmen offensive linemen and hit not one, but TWO game winning field goals to upset the Gators. This weekend looks like another classic, as both teams are evenly matched with similar issues. Both teams have problem at quarterback, both teams will have at least two players take snaps in the shotgun and both teams need a win badly - IF Auburn loses this, they'll likely lose three straight with a trip to LSU up next. Gene Chizik and Will Muschamp were defensive coordinators at Auburn before getting head coaching jobs, and both expect to win this game. Going with the home team this week by a field goal. The Gators are beaten up after two physical games with Alabama and LSU…
Auburn 28, Florida 24
South Carolina vs. MSU; Saturday, October 15th
. The Tyler Russell era should start this week unless Dan Mullen has decided he doesn't want to play in a bowl game this winter. MSU is desperate for a win and South Carolina is building on some good momentum after being a real offense against Kentucky last week. This one could go either way, but MSU has been playing poorly for six weeks and hasn't shown much of anything in wins or losses, minus the Auburn game. South Carolina is typically a poor road team, and they especially struggle on the road against SEC West teams,
where they have only won one game in five years
. That one win did come in the state of Mississippi against the Rebels in 2008; expect Carolina to get another W this weekend. A new quarterback and some awful football make it very hard to pick the home Bulldogs, but they will make it close…
South Carolina 31, MSU 30
LSU vs. Tennessee; Saturday, October 15th
. Not much to say about this one... but there are no other games worth discussing. No Tyler Bray, the best team in the country coming to Knoxville, a banged up Taureen Poole… Katy bar the door.
LSU 41, Tennessee 10
Record: 13-5

Lindsay Lohan Leaves Betty Ford for Malibu Rehab Center
A little over a month after checking in, Lindsay Lohan has checked out of the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., to enter the Cliffside rehab clinic in Malibu, a source confirms to Us Weekly. The Wednesday, June 12, transfer was reportedly approved by prosecutors, who agreed that the 26-year-old starlet would benefit from serving the remainder of her 90-day sentence at a new place.

Lohan first checked into Betty Ford on May 3, one day after checking into and out of the Morningside Recovery Center in Newport Beach, Calif. The stay was mandated by the court as a result of her March no-contest pleas to reckless driving and lying to police; she also received an order to complete psychological counseling and 30 days of community service.

Having checked into rehab six times already, the troubled actress has voiced her skepticism about it being an effective intervention. In a recent interview with Piers Morgan for the Daily Mail's Event magazine, she said she thought there were other, more beneficial ways she could be spending her time.

"I don't think I need to be on lockdown for three months. I don't think that's rehab," she told Morgan before beginning her latest rehab stint. "Constantly sending me to rehab is pointless. The first few times I was court-ordered to rehab, it was like a joke, like killing time."

"I think there are other things I could do instead of going to a rehab center that would benefit me more," she added. "The best thing they could do for me would be to make me go abroad to different countries and work with children."

Reds Fan Since 1971
That being said, I loved Cal's comment about Dee Bost being a "professional". Stansbury didn't like it too well when Cal alleged one of his players getting favorable treatment by the NCAA.
It does bring back memories of another famous meltdown:
YouTube - Mike Davis Ejection at Indiana UK game
I was able to make it to the game last night... really fun game to attend. I detest Stansbury so I (along with everyone else) went nuts when he got his T. Love Rupp.
Just saw where former UK recruit and NC State signee CJ Leslie was suspended for 1 game for "immaturity issues" by Sidney Lowe.
Kinda wonder if this romantic poem has anything to do with it?
Warning: Wear loose fitted clothing and light some candles before reading. Probably NSFW
What's your opinion on Kentucky in the tournament, good chance to make a deep run or prob 1 and done?
I think a Saturday finish in the SEC and a Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA is well within reach. Odds are we are going to be a 5 seed right now and depending on the SEC tournament could improve to a 3.
LET'S-GO-GA-TORS!!! (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)
We're 8 point dogs today...seems about right...we are either going to win a close game or get run out of the gym.
This post is BABIP-lucky.
As for the game, I was wrong on both counts - we neither got run out of the gym nor won a close one. We were competitive but had no answer to the UK runs in the 2nd half. I was afraid we'd play too much man to man and that's exactly what we did. Our guys do not fight off screens well and we're also prone to giving perimeter shooters way too much space and UK shoots the 3 too well. Bad combo and it cost us the game.
UK has so much doggone talent...if only you could keep them around for a couple of years you'd be unbeatable. Miller was unreal yesterday...we know all about Knight here in Florida as he is a product of the Sunshine State and we're still bitter he is not wearing our colors...Harrellson is a beast on the boards and we had no answer for him....but I must say this....the refs let him get away with a LOT. Still, UK would have won that game regardless.
This post is BABIP-lucky.

5 Responses to The Feusier Octagon House in San Francisco
Hi Sarah, I really like that you have included the floor plan!
Nice find. Octagon and round houses always fascinate me. Those hexagon tiles in the bathroom are increasingly popular too.
I think the white works very well in this house – a classical space in the midst of ugly, modern urban landscape.

A Big Easy feast awaits at N'Awlinz Bistro in Newbury Park
N'Awlinz Bistro chef wasn't born on the bayou, but you'd never guess it from his cooking
Location: 3321-C Kimber Drive, Newbury Park. 499-7400; nawlinzbistro.com.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
Impressions: Neat and comfortable dining room, welcoming patio; cheerful and good service; array of New Orleans-style fare plus Southern barbecue items.
What's hot: Seafood gumbo, oyster Po'boy, Bourbon Street Jambalaya, bread pudding.
2 for lunch
Entrees: N'Awlinz Seafood Gumbo ($11.95 for the Li'l Boy size) + Oyster Po'boy ($10.95) + Bourbon Street Jambalaya ($7.95 for the Li'l Boy size) + Bistro Sampler ($10.95)
Dessert: Bread pudding
Tab for 2: $14-$28
Marcus Webster is upfront about not being from New Orleans, but he confidently spells the name of his N'Awlinz Bistro in Newbury Park in a way that natives will recognize as a familiar local pronunciation. Chef-owner Webster opened the spot in February and last month expanded the dining room and inviting patio.
Webster, who passed by our table after we'd had a chance to sample his Bayou specialties and a Po'boy sandwich, mentioned his roots and some of his influences, which include Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Jamaica, as I recall, plus relatives and friends with home-cooking skills and recipes. Webster himself has used his background and experience to run several restaurants, the most recent in Lancaster.
By the time we met the genial owner-chef we had already succumbed to the charm of actually sitting comfortably at a table and giving our menu choices to a very helpful server, then having tasty food delivered for us to enjoy. Along the way there were gracious little gestures, like bringing out a tiny cup of gumbo for each of us to taste to get a sense of the regional seasoning style employed. The bistro's aim, we gathered, is to prepare well-spiced dishes that don't electrify the palate, but convincingly suggest the New Orleans style. Additional heat can be provided for those who prefer more peppery seasoning.
We liked the gumbo sample, with its thick broth, chicken and Andouille sausage a very compatible combo, so we moved on to the N'Awlinz Seafood Gumbo ($11.95 for the Li'l Boy size, which was ample), then tried the Bourbon Street Jambalaya, at the same price for the same size, and an Oyster Po' Boy sandwich ($10.95). Tapping into several tastes at one time, we added the Bistro Sampler ($10.95).
Best of all that day was the gumbo, a steaming blend of the broth, chicken and sausage plus a top layer of shrimp, crawfish and crab, all poured over some rice. The good jambalaya was a more solid dish, with lots of rice stirred in with the same sausage and chicken, plus some veggies.
Fried oysters is probably not everybody's sandwich favorite, but my friend who ordered it was happy with the crunchy bivalves, which came comfortably resting in the toasted "G" bread along with caramelized onions, tomatoes and romaine. A side of potato salad had a mildly kicked-up flavor.
The sampler included fried catfish and shrimp, a cup of gumbo and a cup of jambalaya. The items we had already tasted, the gumbo and jambalaya, were of course the same, the shrimp were temptingly crisp and well spiced. The fried catfish lacked the exotic appeal of the rest.
We shared a warm and comforting dish of bread pudding for dessert. It had all the appeal of good homemade pudding, soft but not too soft, sweet and aromatically flavored with a gentle hand. Coffee was very good.
The bistro, which does a brisk takeout business, also serves up a Southern-style barbecue sliders made with brisket, pulled pork, tri-tip, Andouille sausage or chicken. Under Cajun and Creole specialties are such dishes as garlic shrimp fettuccine, country-fried chicken and Fat Tuesday crispy fried catfish. There's a choice of sauces: Zydeco Remoulade, Red Peppa Bayou or Bourbon Street Étouffée. We passed on the alligator sausage sandwich, with crab and crawfish étouffée and caramelized onions, but it might pique the interest of the more adventurous.
N'Awlinz Bistro has a welcome sprinkling of Southern charm to go with its nostalgia for Southern cooking.

325 Tasting Notes
Brewed up my second packet for brunch in my small white teapot.
I really enjoyed it, it's got a nice caramel taste. I would definitely welcome a tin of it in my cupboard.
I am sad that it's gone. It's one of my favorites from the two Steepster select boxes I've received so far.
Flavors: Caramel, Fruity
You are in luck! It's actually available at the shop:
It is, but I am on a self-imposed buying fast until September. We'll see if there's any left by then :)
Buy Nothing Summer sip-down!
This is sample that I've had in my stash for awhile. The sun is down and the AC can finally keep up, so it's finally a comfortable temperature inside to enjoy a pot of tea with my microwave Pad Thai.
When I opened the little zip bag the sample came in, I swear I caught a whiff of dill. But I think my sniffer is out of whack today – when the husbeast was heating chilli in the microwave, it, disgustingly, smelled like someone ran a marathon and was drenched in sweat. Ugh.
Brewed the tea in my small teapot I use for greens. It's ceramic, and doesn't absorb scents, but I have certain rituals, you see. :) Green teas get the Asian pot and cup set, black teas get the Brown Betty or my small white pot.
The brewed tea is nice and mild, slightly grassy, but not astringent in the first cup. There's a bit of a sweet scent to it as well. My second cup is a little more astringent, but quite good.
I would enjoy this with some good sushi, like an avocado roll, or maybe a Philly roll. Something simple. Oh, or some veggie tempura.
Third cup – no increase in astringency. Still nice and mild. Not a lot of unique flavor to it, but
a good "green tea" flavor – I'm not getting "buttery" or the other adjectives tied onto the other reviews, but it's got the flavor I associate with generic "green tea" but better. So quality basic green tea.
This is good, but not something that stands out to me. Not something I would order. But I'm glad to try it, and I'm enjoying this pot.
Aww, man, I forgot the French press again! I did use it yesterday, and it worked pretty well.
Got this tea in a Steepster box. Trying it at work.
Ripped open the packet and took a sniff… Oooo, it smells good. A little grassy, but sweet.
The packet was so flat before I opened it that I questioned whether it could possibly have enough tea – I understood once I saw it – it looks like tiny pine needles, or grass clippings. Lots of dust coming through my basket. Use a fine basket.
The packet says 175 degrees, and our water dispenser is hotter than that, so I dispensed into another cup, let it sit for a bit, and poured it into my steeping mug.
On steeping, oh, it smells so sweet! Pulled the basket out – it's hard to judge the color because my cup is green. But it looks pretty cloudy from the really small bits. Also, my coworker has now turned off the overhead lights, so that's the end of our visual assessment portion of this review :D
Taste: It has a matcha-y bite to it, goes really good with my breakfast pastry-crisp things. I have no desire to sweeten the tea; it's not exactly sweet itself, but the scent is, and that mixes all in and makes it awesome. Very slight astringency, more on the sides of the tongue.
This is really good, I'm glad I started my morning with this. I am usually a morning is for black cream tea person, but this seems like it will give me some zip for the day. I'm waking up already.
Chocolate Energy Tea
Tea Man
Black tea, yerba mate, chocolate extract
Still working on polishing this off at work. The more I drink it the more I enjoy it though. I think I need to make sure I keep a chocolate tea at work. It's soothing.
I did find the French press in the top back of the pantry, and pulled it down, intending to bring it to work today… set it on the kitchen island and promptly forgot all about it until I went to make tea at work this morning. Whoops.
Brought my second sample packet from a previous Steepster box into work, and I brewed it this morning. I really should bring a teapot into work. I think these leaves really need a chance to expand, and my cramped work mug is not the implement in which to do it.
The dry leaves smelled heavenly.
I'm not liking it as much this second packet, but it's really hard to brew a great cup at work, so I don't fault it. I can still tastes the hints of awesomeness that made me really like the first packet.
Also, I may be grumpy and overly picky this morning. :D
Tea at work is such a PITA! I want my variable temp kettle and all my home equipment, but it's just not reasonable. The hottest water I can get is 182 degrees. :(
Yes it is! I have no idea how hot the water even is in our hot water dispenser. I am flying blind! I should report this to HR, this is not a tolerable work environment ;) LOL
Exactly! I took matters into my own hands and brought a battery operated thermometer. I already have that kind of thing for brewing beer, and I really wanted to know how hot the water gets coming out of the dispenser.
I've taken to brewing a variety of whole leaf oolongs grandpa style, since they tend to do well with the 180 range temps, and clean up is super easy.
I got a sample of this with a DavidsTea order awhile back. I brought it to work last week, and decided to have it this morning. I opened the little packet (I hate the packaging for their loose leaf samples, BTW – I'm always afraid I'm going to get it all over the place trying to rip through the sticker, and ripping the sticker means I can't read the label while I sip) and turned it into the brewing basket for the cup I use at work.
I took a sniff of the dry loose tea, and confusion sets in – I smell chocolate. I have never had a white tea that smelled of chocolate. Not malty, not cocoa-y – chocolate. I drank a chocolate flavored tea last week – did I not wash out my brewing mug and basket well enough last week?
Next issue – I sweeten black teas more than green or white, so I grabbed two packets of sweetener by habit, and poured them both in. I should have gone with one. It's too sweet.
And it tastes of chocolate. There are only 3 reviews of this tea, none of them mention chocolate.
There's a little bit of the vegetal taste I would expect. But there's that chocolate too. And it's overly sweet.
I'm so confused.
I am polishing off the last of this today! Added some of their Chai Spice mix to it, and brewed. I used more Zhu Rong than needed to see if it would be stronger. No, not really, but with the chai spice, it's ok.
But hey, more cupboard room developing! I will have enough room for a super spree when my summer spending fast is over!
Edit: I think this is a lot better as a chai base – the spices bring out the cocoa/malt aspects of the tea. It's still not a favorite, and I won't reorder, but it works as a base. If I had more of it left, I would play around with mixing.
This is my second recorded tasting of this. My bag is near empty, so I know I've tried it a couple of times.
Smells good, tastes decent, but this tea is just kind of weak and underwhelming. It doesn't have the body I want from a black tea; which seems weird, as the description calls it "full-bodied" and "rich" and it's named after a freakin' warrior queen!
It seems strange that it gets such high reviews and praise and songs in its honor, and I'm left looking at my cup and going "Am I drinking the same tea?"
Now I am on the second and last cup from my little white teapot (it's probably a 4 serving teapot, but I drink from huge mugs) and it sat and steeped while I drank the first. It's got an oversteeped taste, it's a little brisker, but still underwhelming. I would expect this warrior queen to slap the crap outta me at this point, but it's more like Queen Elizabeth's royal wave.
Apparently, Zhu Rongs…
( •_•)>⌐■-■
…don't make a right for me.
(I'm so sorry, but I had to do it…)
Chocolate Energy Tea
Tea Man
Black tea, yerba mate, chocolate extract
Working on polishing this tea off, at work. I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit when drinking, but I detest cleaning out the steeping basket after it's done. Generally, I dump the basket, and let what's sticking to it air dry, then it pretty much knocks right out. Then I rinse the basket. This stuff though? The yerba mate CEMENTS to the side of the basket, and it takes actual effort to clean. I'm so lazy :D

The F82 M4 coupe and F83 M4 convertible continue testing and we continue sharing pics with you.
Once it's fully revealed, we will see an M4 convertible which shares the M4 coupe's styling (and mechanicals), save for the roofline and trunkline. To give you an idea for how the M4 convertible will look once all the camo comes off, check out our production M4 renders below.
The one clear difference is that the M4 convertible features a different roof — in the form of a non-carbon fiber … CONTINUED
We recently showed you an advanced F80 M3 prototype in what looked like Singapore Gray Metallic (reposted below). Now see the latest prototypes in black and Silverstone.
Once again, we're treated to some great looks the F80 M3′s massive fenders. The F80 M3 shares virtually the same styling as the M4 except for the more prominently flared fenders and a different trunk design (no CSL style curve). The two share the same front front fascia and headlights, rear bumpers, sideskirts, hood bump, exhaust design, double-bubble carbon … CONTINUED
These are the first photos of what may be the next generation 2016 BMW X1 SAV.
Now that the 4 Series Coupe has been revealed and the Convertible nears its debut, the next model in the lineup – the 4 Series Gran Coupe (F36), has re-emerged in testing, after a nearly 6 month hiatus since our last spotting. It has re-emerged with Eric Bana doing the testing and with less camouflage than ever – shedding the heavy camouflage from its front and rear (that's not really Eric Bana).
What's revealed is what was expected – a Gran Coupe styled 4 Series which … CONTINUED
We've heard the upcoming M3/M4 at high speeds on the Nurburgring, but haven't had many chances to hear it accelerating from a stop. Well, here's a good listen, as this F80 M3 prototype was spotted by BIMMERPOST member KKM3 on the Pacific Coast Highway last night.
The M3 here doesn't accelerate to redline nor at wide open throttle, and the clip is short, but we nonetheless get a good sound preview of the car's inline 6 cylinder S55 engine and exhaust.
Here is KKM3′s reaction to … CONTINUED
The F32 4 Series with M Performance Parts has been spotted again, but this time featuring a never before seen part – exhaust system and tips from the M4 Concept.
This F83 M4 convertible spotted yesterday completes the M3/M4 trifecta … until the M4 Gran Coupe comes along that is.
As one can see, the F83 M4 will generally share the M4 coupe and M3 sedan's aero parts (and mechanicals). Even the trunk, which is of the automatically opening variety (to store the hardtop), appears to feature a similar CSL style curve. Parts such as the front/rear bumpers and mirrors may appear different than the M4 coupe, but that's due to the heavier camouflage which … CONTINUED
We showed you the latest F82 M4 coupe prototype today, and now feast your eyes at the F80 M3, also in the most revealing form yet! This is the first we've seen the F80 M3 in what appears to be Singapore Grey Metallic color.
The first thing that pops out (literally) at us are the fenders. Check out the nearly widebody look of the rear fenders. While the M4 is a svelte and sexy sports coupe, the new M3 looks like its bruiser brother with … CONTINUED
Following the reveal of the BMW M4 Concept, testing continues on the production M4 Coupe and here we have our best look yet at the production bound F82 M4.
Spotted in Germany, this prototype looks nearly the same as the concept. The only significant differences are the absence of the concept's carbon fiber front lip, rear diffuser fins, carbon fiber exhaust tips and black kidney grilles, which may all become available as part of the M Performance Parts catalog for the M4.
Everything else is virtually identical … CONTINUED
Following the leak of its patent drawings, the X4 M Sport has now been spied out testing.
Like the X3 M Sport, with which it shares a platform, the X4 M Sport Package will feature cosmetic enhancements such as the M Sport aerodynamic kit, M Sport wheels and shadowline exterior trim, as well as an M Sport steering wheel and interior.
The aerodynamic kit includes the M Sport front bumper, rear bumper, sideskirts and body color matched fenders, which can be seen on this prototype.
This model also … CONTINUED
Here is a clear look at the cockpit of the BMW i8 hybrid electric sports car.
You've heard recent M4/M3 prototypes blasting around the Nurburgring [M4 vid] [M3 vid], now have a listen at how they sound around town.
As for today's rumor out of Autoblog that there will be no manual transmission option for the M4, we submit contrary evidence in the form of: photos, videos, and VIN (options) information. The photos clearly show an early F80 M3 prototype with a 6 speed manual, the videos show what appears to be manual prototype M3 and M4 (judging by … CONTINUED
The M235i / 2 Series is due soon and while we wait, it's undergoing some final performance testing on the Nurburgring, where it's said by BMW to be able to beat the 1M Coupe.
Klaus Froehlich, Senior Vice President Brand and Product Strategies at BMW recently revealed these little tidbits:
The M235i is as close a spiritual successor to the 2002ti that we've had. My initial benchmark was that it will be faster than the BMW 1M Coupe around the Nurburgring, which it is."I have just signed … CONTINUED
Through renders and past spy photos, we've had previews of the M4 bumper styling and these latest spy photos show that our renders were spot on.
As for the now revealed mirrors, they are indeed two-pronged like the E90/E92 M3, but featuring an evolved design where the top prong 'floats' (doesn't quite reach the A pillar).
Stay tuned for more info very soon… for now follow our M4 coverage.
Here's a real life look at the upcoming BMW X4 SAV versus the current X3. Both cars share the same platform.
The F82 M4 and F80 M3 prototypes have now shed a significant amount of camouflage, revealing more than ever.
In the collection of photos and videos below you'll see a Frozen White M3, Alpine White M3, and a silver M4 coupe. By dropping some of their camouflage and being fitted with more final equipment/parts, we can now see (for the first time or better than before):
Carbon Fiber Seats
Carbon fiber front seats can be made out in the photos as the F80 M3 drives by the … CONTINUED
Here is a set of photos of the most revealing M4 prototype yet, together with a great video of the M4 being tested hard at the Nurburgring.
Have a look at the best videos yet of the 2014 F80 M3 undergoing track testing at the Nurburgring. Why are they the best yet? Because they are being pushed to the limits, which has been rare in the videos we've seen prior to this.
Listen to that S55 engine!

In the spirit of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3349990/code-snippet-managers-for-os-x
What are some good code snippet managers for Linux?
My quick search didn't turn up much. Eclipse, emacs, vim, Kate, and KDevelop all offer their own integrated snippet managers, but I'm looking for something more generic along the lines of CodeCollector or Snippets, ideally with the option of a CLI interface.
Even a pure CLI tool would be acceptable (maybe even preferable).

You know what I love? A couple that doesn't take themselves too seriously. Just like these two love bugs who planned a wedding with equal parts elegance and spunk. They asked Mark Brooke Photography to capture their very special day with JL Designs behind the styling and blooms. I'm sort of obsessed with every last bit, which is why I'll be swooning this modern LA affair...
All posts with Designer
"Amy Michelson"
I've been swimming in the sea of pretty that are these images by Sophan Theam Photography for, oh, about two hours now. And I don't plan on leaving this gallery of coastal goodness anytime soon. Seriously. Because this wedding is simply a dream come true for any ocean-loving soul, and really everyone else for that matter.

Excellent product for any price. But at the price I paid I didnt expect what I got. Thanks for the great value
I thought that the Lycra would be a tighter fit - especially in the groin area.Rather loose there.
great value and style.
The pattern on this looks awesome! It also fits true to size. The material is nice and thick so I'm sure it will last a long time.
i bought this suit size 30 for my 13 y son who is almost using every day great value as a total but feels a little small compared to size 30 in other brands that we used to have but the stretching is compansating
They seem to run a little big, but are definitely comfortable.Not sure why you ask for my email address, when you sent this by email...

It would be super easy to dismiss any new dystopian young adult trilogies as copycats of the Hunger Games phenomenon — except the authors of these books keep coming up with scarier — and brilliantly original — ways of showing us how the future could go horribly, horribly wrong. Veronica Rossi did that with this year's Under the Never Sky, which followed 17-year-old Aria exiled from a (literally) sheltered world where devices implanted in people's eyes create a virtual reality to keep them content to remain indoors forever. Outside, dangerous lightning makes everyday life a gamble, but some Outsiders, like Peregrine, have acute senses to help them and their tribes survive. Of course, Perry and Aria meet up, and their chemistry rivals those deadly lightning bolts. Until, that is, their heroic antics force them to part ways.
In the trailer for book two, Through the Ever Night, we see that Perry and Aria will be reunited, thank goodness. But since this is the second book in a trilogy, we know things won't be all happily ever after right away.
"The trailer captures the rising stakes that Peregrine and Aria face in Through the Ever Night. If book one was their story, book two broadens the scope to include their societies," Rossi told VH1 via email. "There are many aspects I loved about writing this book, but one in particular was the introduction of secondary characters who stole my heart. I think I might write some fan fiction on the side about them!"
That's got our attention, for sure. Through the Ever Night hits shelves on January 8. The trilogy has been optioned by Warner Bros., too, so check back here for movie updates too!

As I settle in at The Fletcher School, I find myself thinking about the impact of the "digital disruption" of the past decade.

Other, Mexico City
18 Reviews
18 Reviews
Favorite thing:
Centro Histórico (Historic Downtown)
The single most important cultural heritage on this continent.
Centro Histórico is the birthplace of Mexico City - the oldest capital in the Americas - dating back to 1325 when the Aztecs founded the city of Tenochtitlan in a small barren island in the margins of Texcoco Lake.
Today is replete with historical buildings and monuments, museums, restaurants, shops and markets.
Centro Histórico covers an area of 9.1 square kilometers. This area comprises 688 city blocks. It means more than 1,900 important civil and religious buildings (architecturally and/or historically relevant buildings) built between the 16th and 20th centuries, clustered in and around El Zócalo (Constitution Square) and La Alameda (Alameda Park), few short blocks away. There are also amazing ruins dating back to the Aztec Empire.
Be sure that history is most perceptible as you walk the Historic Center!
At the present time the Centro Histórico has problems with urban, economic and social deterioration. The causes have their origin around 1950.
The intensive use of the public space is one of the urban characteristics of the Historical Center and also one of the causes of its deterioration. Is calculated that, at least, a million people transit daily that way and has serious traffic problems.
On the other hand, Centro Histórico is experiencing a renaissance under an aggressive program to improve facilities, services and the overall ambience along the Reforma-Zocalo Corridor.
On December 9, 1987 the plenary session of the UNESCO Committee for World Heritage, based in Paris, France, voted unanimously to designate Centro Histórico as a Universal Heritage.
An event which receives outstanding support from the general public is the Historic Downtown Festival held each year. It has as its purpose the promotion and presentation of cultural acts from countries around the world within the unique setting of Centro Histórico.
Fondest memory: Foundation, glory, conquest, liberty, revolution, decadence… A living tribute to the history of Mexico.
Favorite thing:
Corredor Turístico Reforma-Zócalo-Basílica
Reforma-Zócalo-Basílica Corridor
During the mid-19th Century, Mexico City experienced painful encounters with the imperialism conduct of the United States of America and Eurpean countries, suffering invasions by North American and French forces.
During the latter intervention, a new urban model was proposed by the administration of Archduke Maximilian of Hapsburg (Habsburg, Austria): the construction of an avenue which would communicate Mexico City, starting from the Bucareli roundabout, with his new residence: Chapultepec Castle.
Laid out diagonally and originally named Avenida del Emperador (Emperor's Avenue), it was conceived as an ample, 12 kilometer (9 miles) long boulevard.
When you walk along this boulevard, you will see monuments honoring important moments in Mexico's history were erected during 'Porfiriato' (President Porfirio Diaz rule).
Also, along its central extension stand fine examples of architecture, ancient residential areas now transformed into fashionable venues, banks, offices, embassies, luxury hotels, restaurants, museums, exclusive art galleries and spectacular monuments.
Reforma extends even further being, as it is, one of the longest avenues in the city, full of social contrasts.
It's a nice urban tour in the city, specially improved-developed for tourists by the actual administration with $33.5 millions USD for new pavement, sidewalks, illuminations and park improvement along Reforma Av.
In Centro Histórico (Historic Downtown) to improve water-supply, sewer system, gas-main, electric and telephone grid, and to renovate facades and improve security services.
Important businessmen and companies invest $2,000 millions USD for 10 corporative projects on Reforma Av. and Centro Histórico.
Favorite thing:
- From the platform of Torre Latinoamericana you have an excellent view over the city ... depending on the weather conditions. Best view on windy days and unforgetable when the sun goes down, and the city's lights are switched on poco a poco.
Also great views of México offer:
- "Hotel de México" which is higher than the Torre
- The terrace of "Hotel Majestic" on the western side of the Zócalo. This is also a great place to watch a concert down there!
Favorite thing: Here's a link to a good online, interactive, map of the Federal District ("Distrito Federal") and Mexico City. Click on the map and a "zoom" feature will engage. I hope you find this as helpful as I have. Copy and paste this into your "address bar": http://www.maps-of-mexico.com/distrito-federal-df-mexico/mexico-df-distrito-federal-mexico-map-main.shtml
Favorite thing:
It is moderate in winter, warm and dry during the months of April and May. The rainy season begins in May and ends around October and generally consists of sunny mornings followed by cloudy afternoons with rain. Mornings and nights may be cold, especially during the winter. The average temperature is 15°C.
It is recommended to use comfortable clothing and footwear during the day, although at some locations formal attire is required both during the day and at night.
Favorite thing: The peso is the official currency. Most international credit cards, as well as all Traveller's Cheques are welcome. It is possible to change US Dollars in all banks and at most prestigious hotels. In some establishments US Dollars are accepted. There are also Money Exchange Houses where you can exchange just about any currency for Pesos. Most banking institutions open from 9:00 to 4:00pm, but HSBC closes at 7:00 pm.
Favorite thing:
- Mexico City is the largest city in the country, and the 2nd the largest in the world with a population of the metro area of over 20,000.
-It sits an evelation of 2,240 metres above sea level.
-It is coloquillay known by Mexicans as "D.F." which means "distrito federal" - federal district.
-It is the most economically and industrially important city in the country, and for that reason it holds a lot of the country's wealth. It is home to some of the most important universities, museums, monuments and stadiums in the world. It is also rich with gastronomy and culture.
Favorite thing:
When you go to mexico (chiapas ) you absolutely must learn to know the local people but remember it is useful that you learn to speak Spanish. Only few of the people can speak English.
Fondest memory: My fondest memory was the visit we made to a house were indians live. They were making toys and clothes.
Favorite thing: see Tulum (7 km. north of Maya Tulum) which is the largest Maya construction built on the coast. Today it is Mexico's most visited pre-Hispanic site. This royal city, perched on limestone cliffs, is worth a visit because of the magnificent view and the charm of its buildings.
Fondest memory:
This is a photo of my father and his brother Arturo. Arturo is 6 years younger than my father. I arrived in Mexico City around 4 hours prior to my father. He came from Texas and I from Florida. I asked my father to instruct my relatives that I would meet them upon arival of my father, but Arturo insisted on being there for my arrival. As I passed by the line of people awaiting international arrivals, a voice called out 'Enrique'. As I turned to look I knew immediatley who it was. My father told me that his brother Arturo was going to be there but he didn't tell me how much he ressembled him. As you can see in the picture below, the two of them almost look like twins. Arturo, however, is not near as reserved as my father. While waiting for my father to arrive he jokingly asked if I wanted to go to a cabaret :-)
My father is on the left, BTW.
Favorite thing:
Mexico City, the megalopolis, the heart of the nation, modern and cosmopolitan.
Mexico City is today one of the largest urban complexes around the planet, is an unique blend of past and present and an irresistible temptation.
No body, local or visitor, leaves the city untouched by its colorful markets, imposing architecture, mysterious ruins, or bustling plazas and parks...
Fondest memory: Is very difficult to choose only one thing that you must see in Mexico City.
In any case, in the Xochimilco canals, the last vestige of the ancient Mexico-Tenochtitlan, you will see how the aztecs build plots of land in the lake to stablish the Aztec capital and feed the empire... Really interesting.
Favorite thing:
There is certainly plenty to do in this wonderful city, however, I do not recommend staying very long, because of the tremendous smog problem affecting this city.
Fondest memory: Attending some plays at the many theatres in Mexico City. The incredible variety of good restaurants in town. Visiting friends and their wonderful hospitality.
Favorite thing:
online you can have it by Guias Roji, online and paper form at any Sanborn stores or other libraries types, also at LIverpool department stores.
hope it helps
Fondest memory: walking all over zona roja.
Favorite thing:
never take a tour. But should be an enjoyable tour to eat in Mexico DF
Here is another one in a very nice area of DF Polanco
and more on the wonderful food tours of Mexico
and more from there by colonia Roma
Enjoy the wonderful varied gastronomy of Mexico
Fondest memory: walking around Zona Rosa and eating at Angus for the exotic tourist look, and visiting friends in Cuernavaca for a real home cooking
Favorite thing: While walking through Mexico City, specially the central part, you'll probbably notice that some buildings are leaning. Some of them quite a lot. There are two reasons. One is that the ground here is unsolid (used to be bottom of the lake). The other reason is that the area where Mexioc lies is teutonically active. The combination of both results in that whole center of Mexico City is slowly sinking.

Demi Moore has still got it!
The actress looked absolutely radiant on the red carpet on Thursday, Oct. 17, while attending the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts Gala in Beverly Hills.
Decked out in a sparkling blue Salvatore Ferragamo gown, the gal, who turns 51 next month, easily proved that age is nothing but a number.
Clearly all those hours of doing yoga has paid off.
The shindig marked Moore's first time in six months walking a red carpet, the last time being in April when she showed up for the Target Presents AFI's Night at the Movies event in Hollywood.
NEWS: Miley Cyrus says she and Demi Moore "needed each other" during tough times
And it was obviously worth the wait.
At the gala, Moore could be seen mingling with a number of fellow celebs including Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale.
Josh Duhamel, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie and Courteney Cox were among the other famous faces in attendance.
