The fish at Kilimanjaro is absolutely OUTSTANDING...and when I say outstanding I mean delicious, meaty, fresh and well prepared. I never imagined keeping the head on my whole fish ....but now I do. I have only had the grilled fish and as of this date see no reason to try anything else. The best bargain I have ever enjoyed. Loved the graciousness of the service which has been consistent the three times I have been back. I look forward to my return.

Well for starters I am from Senegal, so the quality of their food could hardly impress me. I remember when I first went there with a friend of mine from work, jokingly saying that if my mom came to open a restaurant in Philly they would have to shut down or move out of town. However after their renovation, I had the pleasant surprise of finding they had kicked their cooking up a notch as well as the look of the place. Now when it comes to service, well it is not going to be up to par with Le Bec Fin if that's what you are used to. You will have to wait a bit longer, people do come in and out and customers might be having conversations with their outer voice (loud) but really that is just a taste of a really african atmosphere. It used to be to informal for my taste but they have taken broad steps forward if you ask me and you will get get good authentic food at great prices.

What a shock. Id heard good things so I was excited to try out this African restaurant...BIG mistake. I've been to Africa & like this food, Kilimandjaro is a very poor representation. We ordered a juice drink which was way too sweet & I could only drink 1 sip. We specifically made sure there was sauce w/ the plantains appetizer, but our server forgot to bring it & I had to walk up & ask her for the sauce--- which when it came was so spicy you couldn't enjoy it with plantains. I ordered some kind of lamb wrap & my boyfriend ordered a grilled chicken platter. My boyfriend & I sitting across from each other & leaning in couldn't hear each other because the customers laughing & talking to the owners were quite literally yelling. On top of that, the TV was blaring some American dance show, very loudly, ruining any kind of African atmosphere they attempted to create. We became so uncomfortable with the noise that we asked to take it to go, for which I had to wait at the counter for 3-4 minutes before the owner got up from her seat where she saw me standing there & moseyed over to ask what I needed. My boyfriend's side of french fries were fine. My side of 'steamed vegetables' were quite literally a warmed up bowl of the cheap frozen vegetable mix you by from the supermarket. I hoped at least I could eat my lamb wrap for lunch the next day. I took 2 bites--to make sure I wasn't tasting it wrong. It tasted just like the-way-a-sheep smells, I had to wash my mouth out with water & chew gum just to keep the aftertaste from making me nauseous at work. My boyfriend's chicken was similarly very unappetizing. Worse still, it was supposed to be a surprise dinner for my boyfriend, well turns out we were both surprised and went to bed mad at each other.

Since I estimated on July 7 that Microsoft Microsoft – in which I have no financial interest — would fire 12,500 people, I was not surprised about its announcement on July 17. But the 18,000 was about 50% more than I had expected.
Firing people does not make a company an interesting investment — growing faster than its markets, however, can be a great reason to buy a company's stock. Unfortunately, I do not see how Microsoft can accomplish that — unless it creates new markets that get big fast or it can boost its successful cloud services business into a far bigger share of its total revenue.
And Microsoft should go even further than just cutting half of Nokia's employees, it should sell the business to Lenovo.
Before getting into the reasons for this, let's look at the Microsoft layoffs. According to the New York Times, 12,500 of the lost jobs are held by the 25,000 people Microsoft acquired from Nokia Nokia.
The other 5,500 come from particularly poorly performing divisions of Microsoft such as "Xbox Entertainment Studios, a [150 person according to The Wall Street Journal] group in Santa Monica, Calif., that was dedicated to producing original television programming." The Journal also reports that Microsoft will cut jobs from its "advertising-sales businesses, marketing operations and engineering teams at Windows."
For reasons that elude me, Microsoft's stock has risen 25% since Satya Nadella became CEO. And I expect that to continue because of the role of hedge funds like ValueAct which succeeded in getting one of its executives onto Microsoft's board. ValueAct will push for changes in Microsoft's corporate strategy — such as getting rid of Xbox.
But while this move and the layoffs will free up capital for other uses, the question that Nadella must answer is where to invest Microsoft's capital and talent in order to accelerate growth.
In theory, the best answer to Microsoft's growth woes is to create a new market that gets big fast. But it could also go after big established profit pools and invent products that take share from rivals. A look at Microsoft's current position in those markets reveals that this will be very difficult to achieve.
The problem for Microsoft is that it leads in markets that are growing slowly and lags in the others. For example, Windows controls about 96% of the desktop operating systems market, according to Net Application but that is shrinking — PC shipments are expected to fall 10% by 2015, according to Gartner. It is in third place behind Oracle and IBM in databases.
One bright spot for Microsoft is its cloud services business. In the most recent nine months, Microsoft's "Commercial Other revenue increased $1.2 billion or 29%, due to higher Cloud Services revenue and Enterprise Services revenue. Cloud Services revenue grew $943 million or 104%, due mainly to higher revenue from Commercial Office 365."
Indeed Microsoft is achieving considerable success with the Cloud — a market that IDC expects to grow at a 23% annual rate from $47.4 billion last year to $107 billion by 2017.
And Microsoft is growing over four times faster than this market with rapid customer uptick. On May 28, Microsoft's management commented that its Office 365 — the cloud version of Microsoft Office — gained "1 million subscribers in the first 100 days of its launch and 4.4 million subscribers after a year in service."
Unfortunately, its success in the cloud is not enough to make a dent in its slow growth — its $4.1 billion in cloud services revenue accounted for a mere 7% of its total sales – unless Microsoft can shed those mediocre to lagging businesses — like Microsoft SQL Server, Windows Phone, Bing, Xbox (estimated to lose as much as $2 billion a year) — and invest in new products that will help it gain share in the cloud services business.
The big elephant in the room is whether Microsoft can succeed where Google failed — making money in smartphones via its Nokia acquisition.
Microsoft should consider selling Nokia to Lenovo — as Google did with Motorola in January for about $2.9 billion (taking a 77% haircut on its 2012 buy). The sooner it does that, the more money it can save on what is likely to be a failed effort to build Nokia's hardware into a popular platform for Microsoft software and services.

How to Communicate Well With People from Other Cultures
Cultural differences can sometimes make relationships difficult. Whether a person speaks in a different way (or another language altogether) or has different irreconcilable stands on moral and global issues.
1Understand relativism: some things are relative to some particular frame or reference, such as a language or a culture. Understand that people from other cultures might have entirely differently value systems than yours, but still not be explicitly wrong.Ad
2Give proper personal space: Different cultures have different norms regarding what personal space is public (in which other humans can stand and converse with you) and private (reserved only for your dear ones). For example: Arabs do not share the concept of "personal space" that Americans have. It is considered offensive to step or lean away while talking to an Arab! Make sure you create proper distance between others when you talk. If you're unsure, you can always ask the others what they would like.
3Do not belittle their religion: Remember, most people believe passionately in their religions, and what strikes you as unreal, may be his constant truth. If you have trouble dealing with it, you may wish to skirt the topic of religion altogether.
4Learn to recognize physical cues: The gamut of cultures contain a physical-gesture kaleidoscope. Often when people visit other countries, they get lost and miss subtle cultural cues, which leads them to misinterpret others. The use of irony, the implication of a laugh, are many times visible only through the squinting of the eyes, the shaking of the hand, which a cultural outsider might miss.
5Know relationship differences: Many foreigners think American relationships are superficial (with a brief "Hi, Jim", and never a backward glance). Americans might think relationships in other cultures are too sentimental. So, know that if a person strikes you as too voluble or withdrawn, it may be considered normal in his culture.
6Learn about their culture: Learn about the greetings, the goodbye rituals, the before-meal ceremonies, the food, the clothes. If some catch your fancy, you might even try them! This will help you understand people from other cultures.
7Accept there may be lapses in communication: Even the best communicators fall short when jumping across the vast cultural chasm. Humor and non-defensiveness are the best bridges at such times.
8Ask: There is no better tool for effective communication. If something strikes you as funny or inappropriate, if you feel the other person is neglecting you or is offended, simply ask him what you can do to remedy the problem. Grievances are like silence- broken when they are spoken out.Ad
We could really use your help!
Adobe Photoshop?
Video Games?
- Learn their language! Although this might seem a daunting task, it will open a new world of communication. At any rate, you can always learn the simple greetings and expressions in another language. Surprise other people by saying "Hello" in their language!

A bad night for 'Big Brother' contestant

Photo By Courtesy photosThe "Big Brother" houseguests were all smiles three weeks ago at the beginning of the season. That was before Aaryn Gries and other contestants created controversy outside the house because of their use of racial and anti-gay slurs.
Aaryn Gries, the Texas State University student whose racially charged remarks sparked outrage across the nation, was kicked out of the "Big Brother" house Thursday.
Then her night got worse.
After the San Angelo native was evicted by a unanimous vote, she got a grilling by host Julie Chen, who made good on her promise to confront Gries about her racist and anti-gay comments during her time on "Big Brother."
"In the early days of this game, you said some pretty harsh things about your fellow housemates," Chen said. "How do you respond to that?"
"Being Southern, it's a stereotype, and I have said some things that have been taken completely out of context and wrong," Gries said, "and I do not mean to ever come off as racist. That's not me, and I apologize to anyone that I've offended."
Chen then reminded Gries of some of the things she said: "Referring to Candice (Stewart), you said, 'Be careful what you say in the dark; might not be able to see that bitch.' Referring to Helen (Kim), you said, 'Shut up, go make some rice.' And referring to Andy (Herren), you said, 'No one's going to vote for whoever that queer puts up.' Can you see how those things can be interpreted as racist and as homophobic?"
When Gries initially responded that she couldn't remember saying those things, the audience reacted with laughter. She then added: "That was not meant to be serious. I feel horrible for that and I regret that ... In Texas, sometimes we joke and we don't mean it. I really feel bad."
Chen concluded that this could be a learning experience for Gries.
"After you watch all this footage," she said, "I hope and I think you'll have a new perspective on things."
In an earlier interview with the Express-News, the "Big Brother" host said she felt a level of compassion for the 22-year-old, adding that Gries has been shut off from the outside world all these weeks and is unaware of the repercussions that await her.
"She has no idea what kind of — pardon my French — (expletive) storm is coming," she said.
That storm includes learning that her Texas modeling agency, Zephyr Talent, decided to release Gries from her contract, citing her offensive remarks as the reason, and an outcry by a student group at Texas State that claimed her derogatory remarks had tarnished the reputation of the university.
Though Gries is out of the bubble of the house, it actually will be awhile before she learns of the fallout from her actions. She and other recent evictees, including Jessie Kowalski of San Antonio, will remain sequestered in the "jury house" until the Sept. 18 "Big Brother" finale, when they'll cast votes for the winner of the $500,000 grand prize.

HugeDomains.com = the next BuyDomains.com
With close to 230,000 domains and growing fast… I think Andrew Reberry is onto something "huge" here. Not too many people are familiar with HugeDomains.com or Mr. Reberry but he is no rookie when it comes to the domain biz and internet marketing / development. In the last 1 – 2 years he has put together an impressive domain portfolio and quite a unique online marketplace that is visited by probably 400,000 – 500,000 end-user domain buyers monthly on average right now.
It's clear that he has modeled his entire biz similar to that of BuyDomains, and that wasn't such a bad idea… The entire concept of "retail" domain sales has been proven time and time again by BuyDomains over the years who are probably one of the top 2 or 3 domain investors in the world with 1,000,000 domains in their arsenal and millions of dollars in sales monthly. So if you see something working great, do copy it, just don't forget to put your own unique twist to it and try to do it a little better. It's what 90% of all businesses do, whether they like to admit it or not.
Andrew Reberry's company, TurnCommerce.com got accredited as an ICANN registrar a little while ago as NameBright.com which is currently one of the top 60 largest registrars in the world. Now of course all of the domains registered there are their own… But that just goes to show you that this man is on a mission. Anybody who is running a huge operation like that should have his own registrar, plus it makes sense because you can save some nice cash. Guys like Kevin Ham and Frank Schilling have their own registrars as well.
It looks like all of the traffic coming to the main website, HugeDomains.com, is from direct navigation. Visitors who type in one of the 230,000 owned domains are immediately redirected to a for sale page. No PPC ads or any other bullshit. It's straight to business… And the Huge Domains website setup is just as good as Sedo.com or BuyDomains.com. Andrew went all out and put together something truly special and unique in order to close as many sales as possible. You only get one chance at making a good first impression
So far he has probably invested $2,000,000 on all these domains, infrastructure, development, etc… Still though, he is registering thousands of domains and making improvements. I tried to get the lowdown but the man kindly refused when asked for an interview. I guess he's just not done yet and ready for the spotlight but really, the man has accomplished a lot in a very short period of time and should be recognized for that… It's impressive for a thirty something year old self made businessman / entrepreneur. He's now part of a very elite group of domainers.
This just goes to show you that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible… Even in 2009 or 2010 or 2011!! It was a little less than one year ago when Andrew really cranked things up and went hard at it as far as domain acquisitions go. You know, there was a new blogger who popped up a few month's ago into the blogosphere who claimed to have 200,000+ domains and earn millions with this and that… Blah blah.. But it's impossible to verify his claims. Impossible to know if he even owns 1/10th of what he says… Not that it's anybody's business or whatever.
But anyways, then there was a huge debate and discussion at one of the domainer forums where people tried to figure things out (snooping around) and many said that it is impossible to create a huge portfolio of 100,000 domains in 2 years that can earn PPC $ and especially 200,000 of them… But come on, anything is possible. It's not easy to put together a quality portfolio that can be turned profitable in such a short period of time, but if you're experienced and know what you are doing… You will figure it out. It's never too late.
Looks like Andrew did just that and proved everybody wrong. He figured it out for good… Forget parking and PPC, lets focus on domain sales. PERIOD! That is of course where the money is… Always has and always will be. Domain parking income is a nice passive revenue stream but a domain sale can generate a lot more cash flow than the expected lifetime PPC income. No arguing or denying this.
From my domaining career early on, we're talking about right around 2004, I personally always took the "exit" option when I was presented with a reasonable offer to buy one of my domains or a whole group of them… I never got attached to them whatsoever or actually fantasized and believed that PPC earnings can magically somehow go up 2x, 3x, etc. I am not very patient when it comes to investments and if there is a chance to make a guaranteed profit with little to no effort… DONE DEAL!
Last month, while I was cleaning up my Fab parking account – updating landers and removing domains from my account that I allowed to lapse – I discovered that HugeDomains picked up a substantial number of my drops . . . all now nicely priced at $1900 and up.
Now, admittedly there's some suggestion of intelligence in their moves, as the names I allowed to drop – and they promptly registered – were once at least good enough to meet someone's "reg worthy standard", i.e., my retrospectively shoddy standard.
BUT REALLY, is ALSO bit of a clue in the fact that the domains are being DELIBERATELY DROPPED . . an implicit suggestion . . that someone who knows the business determined that registration justification analysis was indeed shoddy.
So, while you want to extol the intelligence of HD's actions . . maybe implicitly soliciting a bit of work for your services . . I'd like to suggest that what I see is a re-run of the work of Dr. What's-His-Name of 247-Domain fame.
Sad. I wish them the best of luck but I'm doing my best, by running away from the domains they are re-registering, to send a message "FAIL".
Who knows? Maybe they'll be luckier than . . the last fool who registered them. :-/
The site looks good. Keep up the good work!
They are going to have to sell a lot of domains at their retail price level to cover the renewal fees
of 230,000 domains. Renewal costs will be in excess of 1.47 million. They were very active in the "tasting" game back in the day.
Interesting information…
Thanks for sharing…
Is there a bio on Andrew Reberry, somewhere online ??
What nickname does he use on:
DNF etc…
Twitter ??
Facebook ??
LinkedIN ??
– - – anyone have this info ??
Thanks in advance…
~Patricia Kaehler
Hopefully their online software is better than the completely sad state of the online domain portfolio management software at Afternic.com / BuyDomains. I mean, their system is probably one of the worst examples of online software I have ever used.
Their customer service is no better. I had over 1000 domains with them and they couldnt do so much as reply to questions as to why adding or updating my domains didnt work. I would take weeks to get a reply.
Hopefully these guys are maybe former users of their online system, with some programming knowledge, and they are determined to do it properly. Good luck to them!
Thanks for the information. I recently bought a domain from the hugedomains and wrote up a blog post about my experience:

Los Lunas East Pee Wees are in the YAFL Superbowl
Only one Valencia County team will get to play for a New Mexico Young America Football League championship this season.
The Los Lunas East Pee Wees defeated the other Los Lunas team in the division, 20-12, on Sunday at Wilson Stadium. They advance to face West Mesa at 8 a.m. Sunday at Milne Stadium in the Super Bowl for the division.
Two other county teams were hoping to play in Super Bowl games as well, but their seasons ended in the semifinals. The Los Lunas Sophomores lost a heartbreaking 8-0 decision to La Cueva, and the Belen Juniors fell behind early in a 62-20 loss to Manzano.
The No. 3-seeded Los Lunas East team got all three of its touchdowns from Zach Vigil. The East Tigers built a 14-6 halftime lead in beating the No. 1-seeded Los Lunas main team.
West Mesa edged Cibola, 7-6, in the other Pee Wee semifinal.
The Tiger Sophomores are mostly comprised of a group that has gone at least as far as the semifinals each year. Sunday, the Tigers had one of their drives stopped at the La Cueva 5-yard line.
A La Cueva player scored the game's only touchdown on a 60-yard run in the fourth quarter. The Tigers finish the season with a 9-2 record.
The Belen Juniors were undersized in their matchup with a talented Manzano team. Belen fell behind 20-0 after one quarter and needed a late second-quarter score just to keep from being shut out in the first half. They trailed 34-6 at halftime; Belen ended the season with an 8-3 record.
In the consolation bracket for the Rookie division, Los Lunas, who beat Belen on Saturday, will face La Cueva at 10 a.m. this Saturday at Wilson Stadium.

Culinary Road Trip! - Greater Seattle Recommendations (From Vancouver)
I'm going on a road trip from Vancouver down the coast to San Fransisco for 1 week from Feb 16 - 23.
More than willing to zig zag for significant food stops.
I'm looking for a mixed bag of experiences, from fine dining to street food, though my budget is not enormous so i'll likely do 2 evenings of fine dining, and the rest on a shoestring.
I don't mind cliche's (Salumi & Chez Panisse are both on my list)
If there are any destinations that are significant to the food culture of a place, i'm into that.
I love craft beer, wine does not excite me (Hoppy, floral smelling beer is my fav)
I'd love to try a barrel aged cocktail
I'm into head to tail eating
I like foraged food
I like novelty. Something i've never tried and could not replicate.
Tastes I like:
Hearty bread with a drizzle of portugeues olive oil and a sprinkling of grey salt
Old Fashioned Bitters
Buckwheat Honey
Scallop Sashimi
Chewing fennel seeds
My list so far:
Tartine Bakery (SF)
Chez Panisse (Berkley)
Chowder in a Bread Bowl (Fisherman's Warf, SF)
Dynamo Doughnuts (SF)
The Herb Farm (Seattle)
Pok Pok (Portland)
Considering Bouchon (Napa Valley)
re: Lauren
great recommendations! I'm gonna try and squeeze in all of those:)
any ideas for cheap eats?
re: jkhdsf
In reading The Weekly's review for Blind Pig, it's more seafood oriented than I expected. Ignore that recommendation for head to tail eating. http://www.seattleweekly.com/2012-02-...
re: Lauren
Ah right ok. I think i'm just gonna hit Incanto for head to tail then
I had a wonderful dinner at Tilth in May 2010. Very homey atmosphere, and better food than I'd had at Chez Panisse the month before.
Since you mentioned doughnuts in the SF thread, I'll note that Top Pot's raspberry doughnut was excellent. Now that I think of it, I don't remember having any crazy doughnut flavors in Seattle.
Molly Moon has lots of interesting flavors, but struck me as having only okay versions of what you can get at Bi-Rite and Humphrey Slocumbe in SF (both of which you should check out)
re: hyperbowler
have you tried all 3 of these ice cream places? I don't do so well with dairy so I want to minimize my dairy consumption. do you think I should hold out for SF or is Molly Moon worth trying too?
re: jkhdsf
I live in the SF Bay Area, and regularly eat at HS and Bi-Rite. Based on my one experience at Molly Moon's, I'd recommend waiting till you get to SF. You might also want to check out each place's twitter feeds to see their current flavors.
FWIW Humphrey slocumbe and Molly moon's have sorbet. Scream Sorbet is worth checking out if you're in Oakland or if you catch them in SF'd ferry building on Thursday or Saturday.
re: hyperbowler
ya i'm gonna skip molly moons then and just go all out in SF:)
It's nice that there are some sorbet options too. my tummy will thank me for it!
re: jkhdsf
Totally skip Molly Moon's.
re: Lauren
For all the excessive-hype people give Molly Moon's over their ice cream, their sundaes are really, really good.
re: GreenYoshi
I'll have to try a sundae, although I'm hesitant because I really don't like their ice cream. It's hard to imagine a good sundae with blah ice cream.
re: hyperbowler
Also as excellent as Tilth Maria Hines' new place, Golden Beetle, shows her flair for tastes with a little more economy Go to Happy Hour and order the whole HH menu. All of it. Take a friend. Have a cocktail (the features are bound to be good). Do this at Revel, too. We are lucky.
Seattle's eyes were opened to gelato by Procopio, followed by Gelatiamo and Bottega Italiana, and these have now been joined by new-fangled ice-cream makers. Molly Moon deserves credit for breaking new Seattle ground with her artisanal Ice cream shop, and for leading a trend, but she stands on the shoulders of other excellent purveyors. Lately, we have ingenious flavor combinations (mango chile, ube) by Full Tilt, and HUSKY Deli (opened 1933) has been providing West Seattle's ice cream fix for decades. Very old-school, here, you'll find licorice and chocolate-chip mint, butter-pecan. Dated, yes, but a visit to HUSKY is a visit to the past, and it turns out they had some pretty good ice cream then, too, if not anything like Berkeley's ICI (wow).
Raspberry is not my choice at Top Pot, but definitely get one of their old-fashioned style donuts and a cup of coffee. If you can arrange for this to happen on a delightful spring morning, more the better, though that circumstance might as easily lead to Cafe Besalu (very French pastry) or Bakery Nouveau).
(and, hey, there is no bad ice cream
have y hit with her creative and tasty ice cream flavors, but we also have
spawned competition Gelatiamo, Procoppio,
bumping a trend starting a e]'s is OK, but not up to ICI stadard
On the way south to Seattle, you could stop at the Breadfarm in Edison

Chocolate Chip Caramel Ice Cream Sundae
A few weeks ago, after an away soccer game, my daughter and her best friend, who happens to be my best friend Hyacinth's daughter (confused yet?), launched a full-on begging fest regarding their post-soccer dinner.
"Can we go to Chili's?" they cried.
"No," both Hyacinth and I replied. It was getting dark, and we wanted to go home.
"Please!" they cried.
"No," we replied.
So we went to Chili's. As mothers, Hyacinth and I believe in sticking to our guns.
This dessert is inspired by one of the gooey, drippy desserts on their menu—a dessert we didn't let the girls order no matter how much they begged!
We got the molten lava cake instead.
So we got the last word!
I whipped this up using my favorite basic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Throw some softened butter into the bowl of a mixer. (This is a little over-softened, but I'll live with those consequences.)
And blend it all together until it's nice and combined.
Crack in a couple of eggs, one at a time…
Beating them after each addition.
Then add vanilla and mix it in.
In a separate bowl, add flour…
Then add in a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee granules.
You just have to trust me on this.
Gradually add the flour mixture until it's all combined…
Then stick your finger in the bowl, retrieve a nice amount of dough, and place your finger in your mouth.
Important: Please turn off the mixer before you do this.
Next, add in chocolate chips or (in my case) chocolate chunks…
And mix them in until they're all combined.
Repeat the stick-your-finger-in-the-bowl trick.
But repeat the turn-the-mixer-off trick first.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Next, thoroughly grease and flour (or spray with baking spray if you're lazy like me) a quarter-sheet pan like this one…or just a regular 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
Spread it out to flatten the surface…
Bake it until it's nice and golden and perfect.
Then grab a fork and dig in!
Just kidding. But you'll definitely want to.
Just let 'em cool for a bit in the pan.
To serve up the masterpieces, cut square pieces.
And grab your very, very favorite flavor of ice cream. This is caramel macchiato flavor, which is ridiculous and ridonkulous and rickonkulous. But you can use anything! Vanilla, chocolate, coffee, strawberry, rocky road…or match the cookie itself and throw on a scoop of regular chocolate chip.
Drizzle zig-zags of hot fudge…
And caramel sauce in the opposite direction.
Mine came from a can.
Try not to be jealous.
Then…blip! A bright red cherry.
You can't know the fun. You can't know the deliciousness.
Make it for birthdays, slumber parties…or Monday night to reward yourself.
Here's the handy dandy printable!

This is totally random and has nothing to do with ice cream, but do you have any good crock pot recipes?
the domestic fringe On Tuesday, May 8 at 1:12 pm
Yum, yum, YUM! When I finally break my diet, I'm going to do it with one of these sundaes.

Mckenzie On Wednesday, May 9 at 7:38 am
Ree, what do you want for mothers day?
kim On Wednesday, May 9 at 5:58 pm
I can't believe that you, a foody, think that ANYTHING at Chili's is even edible. Their desserts are deplorable! Yours, however, looks yummy!
Quiver full On Wednesday, May 9 at 8:28 pm
It looks almost too good to eat Ree! I said ALMOST!
JennyD On Thursday, May 10 at 1:07 am
Oh my goodness… when I was young … in the 70's…well…ok…early 80's too… we used to make chocolate chip cookie bars like that ALL. The. time! yum! but now that I am a grown up.. coffee in them… brilliant! love! and I have not been in the ice cream isle for far too long… caramel macchiatto? what?! yum. java chip is yummy .. but that has to take the cake! (not take the cake icecream… but kids like that…but it isn't my fav)… literally … caramel macchiatto ice cream… well butter my butt and call me a biscuit .. yummy!
(sorry … its late… and I need a root canal… and I had coffee way too late in the afternoon…) the end.
Dréa B. On Thursday, May 10 at 1:11 pm
Drool. This Chili's dessert is a favorite of my bff's and mine. I make the dough much like you do, but add cinnamon and coconut flakes. And then I bake it in a pie dish. I serve it with vanilla ice cream, sprinkle with more cinnamon and drizzle with hot fudge and caramel. Tastes just like the paradise pie….Only difference is it doesn't come in a skillet of melted butter. But I don't even think Chili's does that anymore. Shame… I think I'll try it in a larger shallow pan as you suggest….maybe it'll last longer. Thanks for sharing!
caitlyn On Friday, May 11 at 8:02 am
i want to be a pastry chef when i'm older, and baking goodies is my favorite thing to do, so i'll have to try this!
Cassie On Friday, May 11 at 11:16 am
You make your chocolate cookies the way I do, with 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar. Makes them softer, I believe.
Now I am special because, well, I do something you do and it wasn't even intentional.
Ann On Friday, May 11 at 6:59 pm
I just took two batches out of the oven for a picnic tomorrow! I can't wait to cut into them! The only thing I changed was I didn't add instant coffee (I didn't realize I was out) and substituted 1/2 teaspoon of pure orange extract. They smell amazing – thank you for a terrific recipe!
jmposti4 On Saturday, May 12 at 2:19 pm
WOW! And I did not know Starbucks made an ice cream. Lucky you.
Nichole@Dulce Delicious On Saturday, May 12 at 8:34 pm

Started the day by watching your show this morning on the Food Network. Drooled over the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and gravy, but fell in love with the scenic views from the Lodge. How blessed you are to feast your eyes and soul on that sight every day. Later, traveled to Concord, NC for the Sprint All Star NASCAR Race @ Charlotte Motor Speedway with my husband and 4 kids ( ages 21-14). Wil spend the night in Charlotte, NC and travel home on Sunday. All in all a great weekend full of family, food ( yes, even greasy, indigestion-inducing race food can be special when shared with those you love), and togetherness. A perfect weekend in my book.
Jeannie Gaut On Sunday, May 20 at 12:31 am

Love your show, one of the best on the food network. Gonna make these cookies soon. I find myself watching your shows over a few times because of a lack of interesting things to watch on t.v. thanks for spending time with us and reminding me of my home cooking heritige. Cooking has been fun once again now that I am reminded of things from my past. Thanks for including your family in the show. Love seeing all of the things that you do.
Jesse F. On Monday, June 25 at 3:07 pm
You had me at "dig in" ha. I'm totally with you on the coffee crystals. I'll have to dig out my recipe for Mexican chocolate crinkle cookies that uses chili powder, they're almost too good to make because you want to eat them all at once.
nancy heppes On Thursday, June 28 at 9:00 pm
Oh my word! Delicious! I invited the neighbors over too and they loved it! I will definitely be making it again.
georgia On Thursday, July 5 at 10:46 am
I am making this for a girl's night this week. I want the dessert to be warm when adding the ice cream and syrup, but don't want to make it while I have company. Do you think I could make the dough, put it in the pan, and then stick in the fridge until I'm ready to bake it?
arlene On Friday, July 20 at 3:05 pm

Although he may not have fared well at the box office telling the tale of a superhero, rest assured there are at least three Ang Lee movies better than "The Hulk." A two-time Oscar winner as of 2011, Lee's directorial career stands out for its remarkable diversity. After being raised in Taiwan, Lee came to the United States to pursue a filmmaking career. Since then his work has covered the British aristocracy, ancient China and gay cowboys. Here are three Ang Lee movies that will make you forget "The Hulk."
"Sense and Sensibility" – Nominated for seven Academy Awards, this lush, funny and sorrowful adaptation of Jane Austen's second novel heralded Lee into the international director category. The sisters Dashwood, practical Elinor (Emma Thompson) and passionate Marianne (Kate Winslet), lose their father, their childhood home and any hope of a dowry in quick succession. Yet life has its compensations in the handsome faces of floppy-haired Hugh Grant, a delectable Greg Wise and the romantically wistful and elegant Alan Rickman. Lee captures the dry wit of Austen and allows broad strokes of emotion. It's a lovely, heartfelt film that never gets cloying or saccharine.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" – An epic martial arts fantasy about the disappearance of a magical jade sword, this film gave Lee a breathtaking canvas of movement, natural beauty and war. Ang Lee used Yuen Woo Ping, the fight choreographer from "The Matrix," to stage elegantly fierce battles while staying true to the "wuxia" genre traditions. The story itself is simple. Chow Yun-Fat plays a martial arts master in nineteenth century China who is ready to lay down his sword even though his nemesis Jade Fox has not been vanquished. With remarkable performances by Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi and a sublime Chow Yun-Fat, the story unfolds and dazzles with an array of gravity defying fight sequences. The film eventually won four Academy Awards, including Foreign Language Film.

They may be accompanied by comic book onomatopoeia to illustrate sound effects, or by further visual gags meant to highlight the absurdity of the cloud itself. For example, the depiction of a hatch opening in the side of the cloud so that a character may escape the brawl.In Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and Persona 4, this device is used when the player initiates an All-Out Attack.

Here's another classic video of one of our favorite Retro Arcade on the Jersey Shore! It's Flashbacks from Seaside Heights New Jersey. Sadly this video is out of date, they have expanded and added in more games. We hope to revisit them soon! ;
Arcade Hunters mission is to disprove the rumor that "arcades are dead." We aim to provide footage of various types of arcades because not everyone likes the same type of arcade (classic, Japanese, casual, kids, etc.). We hope our video's will bring attention to the dedicated arcade operators who work hard to provide a gaming experience that CAN NOT be found on xbox Live, or any other form of internet gaming.

U.S. Sen. Tim Scott said he tried out a number of low-wage jobs to help collect experiences for his recently drafted economic empowerment reform package.
Bagging groceries, waiting on tables, riding on a public bus through Charleston and sweeping the floor at a fast-food restaurant were all part of his low-key research, he said.
"I learned I don't sweep as well as I need to," Scott, R-S.C., said Wednesday of his cleanup skills.
He also worked at a California Dreaming restaurant to understand the challenges of a working mother.
The details came as Scott held a conference call with South Carolina reporters to address some of his 2014 legislative goals.
He has introduced two pieces of legislation he says is part of what he is calling his "opportunity agenda."
His Creating Hope and Opportunity for Individuals and Communities through Education Act covers expanding school choice opportunities for children with disabilities, children who live on military bases and children living in impoverished areas.
The Supporting Knowledge and Investing in Lifelong Skills Act is targeted at helping low-income workers, individuals with disabilities who are in the job market, and at-risk youth. It emphasizes job training and streamlining services.
Scott said some similar efforts are being pushed in other forms by other lawmakers, and that ranking Republicans and other members of the S.C. delegation have been generally supportive of what he's backing. The stumbling block, he said, are opposition Democrats in Washington.
"The real question is: How we can get Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev., the Senate leader) to allow a vote to go forward on anything," he said.

Researchers: Arizona growing in physical size annually
PHOENIX -- Arizona is getting bigger every year, researcher said.
Using about 50 locations equipped with GPS technology around the state, researchers have determined that the movement of tectonic plates miles below the surface of Earth is causing Arizona to grow.
University of Arizona professor Rick Bennett said Arizona is part of the Pacific-North American plate boundary zone. The zone produces the largest earthquakes in the United States, but Arizona is in a "quiet" area of it despite the growth.
"As the plates move relative to one another, the surface of the earth responds," said Bennett. "It deforms and stretches -- in the case of Arizona -- causing faulting and contributing to the development of our mountain ranges."
Bennett said that Arizona mountains are slowly separating.
While there have been earthquakes in Arizona, Bennett said the last one that would have measured stronger than 7.0 on the Richter scale happened about 100,000 years ago.
Bennett said that Arizona expands about 3,000 square feet every year, equivalent to the size of a five-bedroom house.
"The expansion is occurring somewhere between Arizona's east and west boundaries, but we have not yet identified exactly where that stretching is taking place," he said.
When asked if Arizona is pushing California out into the Pacific Ocean, Bennett said there is two ways to look at things.
"You can think of it that way, or you can think of it that California is stretching out into the ocean and pulling Arizona out with it."
Bennett hopes that the continued study of what's going on under Arizona will lead scientists to find ways to more accurately predict when and where earthquakes will happen.

Barbra Streisand — an influential figure within Democratic circles — told Larry King that while they were "misguided," both Presidents Reagan and Bush showed "real strength," which voters admire. This stands in contrast to Obama — though she credits him for having an "open mind," an "open heart," and being "very smart."
She also said that the problem with Democrats is that — you guessed it — they had a "communications problem." They were unable to convey to the public all the great things they had done. And oh, by the way, Ms. Streisand fled to Europe because of the last election. Alas, she didn't stay.

Teenagers enrolled in the Ford Driving Skills for Life event listen as Police Chief William McManus speaks on Friday, March 22, 2013.
Driving Skills for Life Michael Chavarria: Manny Martinez, a driving instructor with Driving Skills for Life, describes how to come out of a fishtail skid for 17-year-old Michael Chavarria, a student at Brooks Academy.
Driving Skills for Life Victoria Morton: 18-year-old Victoria Morton, a student at Henry Ford Academy, talks about why she thinks the Driving Skills for Life program is important.
More Information
Ford's Driving Skills for Life
When: 7:30 a.m.-noon and 12:30-5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Where: Manheim Auto Auction, 2042 Ackerman Road
Cost: Free
More info: drivingskillsforlife.com
Crashes are the No. 1 cause of death for U.S. teens. Aware of that sobering statistic, the Police Department has joined with Ford's Driving Skills for Life program to help local teens learn to escape dangerous situations or avoid them altogether.
Students from several area schools attended the free course Friday at Manheim Auto Auction.
In one exercise, 18-year-old Nathan Carrizales winds through a tight course lined with short orange cones. The turns are tight, but he gets through with little trouble.
Then instructor Dan Clarke, 29, tells Carrizales to take out his iPhone and start texting a friend. Clarke dials the radio's volume up almost all the way, and the gnashing of heavy metal guitars fills the car as Carrizales makes his way through the course again.
It's been drizzling all morning, and over the noise, Clarke asks Carrizales to turn on the windshield wipers, then the London native asks him to change the station to the BBC World Service news station.
The short orange cones drop like flies as Carrizales fumbles for the wiper switch, his thumb on his phone's keypad, while trying to steer and change the radio station.
"We work them to the point of task saturation — too many things happening at once," program spokesman Mike Speck said.
Teens go through four exercises during the program over a half-day: distraction, vehicle handling, simulated impairment and hazard recognition. A professional driving instructor is in the front passenger seat guiding the drivers through each exercise safely.
"The goal is to make the participants realize what could happen," Speck said. "If they're forced into that scenario, it's going to be a little bit more difficult to get out of it than they think it will be."
In the hazard recognition drill, the teens accelerate toward three stoplights.
As they approach, two turn red and one turns green, and the teens have to switch to the lane with the green light.
"Just because you recognized a hazard does not mean it's easy to find a way out, and if they do find a way out, it's not that easy to get there," Speck said.
For simulated impairment, participants wear "drunk goggles" that mimic the vision of someone with a 0.17 blood-alcohol level, then are asked to go through a field sobriety test by a police officer. Each teen wobbled or tripped as they tried to walk a straight line heel-to-toe or tried to stand on one foot.
Finally, each participant is paired with an instructor in a Ford Mustang equipped to lift the back tires during a turn, causing the back end to fishtail.
Vehicle handling instructor Manny Martinez takes the Mustang through a series of U-turns that fishtail the back end as he spins the steering wheel to straighten the car back out, then walks Michael Chavarria, 17, through the steps he should take to do the same.
"You need to anticipate rather than react," Martinez tells Chavarria. "As long as I'm looking at where I want the car to go, that's where I'm going to steer."

Revenge Season 2 Spoiler: Who Got Engaged in Episode 19, "Identity"?
Engagements are almost as common as deaths (well maybe not) in the Hamptons, and one couple just put a ring on it for a second time. That's right, Revenge's Emily Thorne and Daniel Grayson are taking another shot at love (without Tila Tequila).
In Season 1, Danny proposed on the deck of a yacht as an orchestra played and the rain poured and a supposedly smitten Emily quickly said yes. Sadly their engagement ended when Emily kissed Jack Porter in a fit of emotion over Sammy the Dog's dead labrador body (ew, what?!).
Now Daniel's once again ready to make a commitment to Ms. Thorne, and in Episode 19, "Identity," he proposed again. Well, sort of. He handed Emily her old ring (gasp!) and told her that if she was wearing it when he saw her next then they'd be together and engaged. Umm, what?
You're dating the Hamptons' most eligible bachelor and he re-gifts your engagement ring and fails to really ask for your hand in marriage? Time to upgrade, Ems (by which we mean marry Nolan and make beautiful Nemily babies).
In the end, Emily asked Aiden Mathis if he was OK with her marrying Daniel, and he approved as long as her end game was moving with him to Japan to make little revengey babies. Basically, Emily has a lot of babies to make.
Do you think Emily and Daniel will actually get married this time? Weigh in below!

Miley Cyrus further reveals what we already knew about Miley Cyrus: she loooooves twerking.
Regular twerking. Furry costumed twerking. Twerking to the left, twerking to the right. Twerking upside-down. You could pen a Dr. Seuss book based on her favorite dance move. 1 Twerk, 2 Twerk, Red Twerk, Blue Twerk, coming to young adult bookstores near you.
Proving that if the Winter Olympics had a twerking event, Miley would take home the gold medal (GO 'MERICA GO!!!), the "We Can't Stop" singer posed for hipster-sleaze photographer Terry Richardson in a photo shoot recently.
In the photos, Miley rocks basic attire—a Nike sports bra, a semi-sheer tank, mesh running shorts, faded blue jeans, and of course, Terry's oversized specs—which she accessorized with some choice poses. Namely, grabbing her crotch, letting her tongue hang limp like a bloated fish, and getting all Major Lazer's "Pon de Floor" on Terry's studio wall.
It's all part of the new sound and image that Miley's immersed herself in as of late. On her album Bangerz (release date TBA), she revealed collaborations with Big Sean, Ludacris, Future, and others.

The Official "How To Transfer Your iPod or iTunes Library to Your New Mac" Thread

Member Since: Jul 25, 2007

HOWTO: Move your iTunes music while preserving library data (when you don't let iTunes manage your music library)
Follow the link to the solution:
Copy of part of the text:
… if the ITL file is corrupted or damaged, then iTunes will revert to the XML file in order to rebuild it (and consequently, your library data). So the plan is to edit the XML file to reflect the changes in our file paths, and somehow damage the ITL file in order to get iTunes to rebuild it from our revised XML file. If this sounded a bit complicated, worry not—we describe the actions needed step-by-step below:
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Backup your iTunes Music folder—this contains your library data. Now that it's relieved from your podcasts and iTunes rips it's considerably lighter too, so do an additional backup or two just to be on the safe side. Do this. Now
3. Move your music files (those indexed by iTunes that are neither iTunes podcasts nor iTunes rips) from the old location (say, C
ocuments and SettingsUsernameMy DocumentsMy MusicNon-iTunes) to the new location (say, D:MusicNon-iTunes).
Open the "iTunes Library.itl" file. Select all text (Ctrl+A) and delete it. The file is now blank, with zero characters on it—save it.
iTunes Library.itl's filesize should now be 0 bytes. (This is important, as Schmolle notes, because some unicode aware editors—e.g. UltraEdit—may add invisible characters to the beginning of the file.)
5. Open the "iTunes Music Library.xml" and do a global search and replace with your text editor of choice. A screenshot of how this is done in EditPad Lite, a freeware text editor that's light and powerful follows after the end of this list.
6. Save the XML file.
7. Launch iTunes. A prompt with a progress bar will come up—iTunes is rebuilding your library. Depending on how powerful your computer is and the size of your music library, this may take a while. When this ends, iTunes will come up with a message saying that the library file was corrupted/damaged and it tried to rebuild things for you. Press "OK", iTunes finally launches.
8. Check to see if all your music and playlists are there, and if library data (play counts, etc.) has been preserved. (Hopefully everything's fine.) You'll also notice a couple of additional static playlists for your podcasts, videos, etc. UPDATE: Simon notes in the comments section:
As a minor aside, this approach 'loses' the date and timestamp when the file was originally added. This instead becomes the date and time that the track was (re)added to the library during the rebuild. That said, while this slightly messes-up any 'recently added' playlists, it somehow maintains the correct sequence (i.e. the rebuild seems to occur in the same sequence in which the mp3s were originally added, so one can still sort the library/playlist by 'date file added' and see the newest ones at the bottom).
9. You're almost done.
(EditPad Lite screenshot—click for larger size
By almost we mean:
all the columns in iTunes have been resetted. You'll have to re-select those columns that you want to be viewable for each playlist, and resize them if necessary.
your podcast subscriptions have been lost. Do the following:
Go to Edit → Preferences → General and see that "Show Genre when browsing" is checked √). Press the "OK" button.
2. Choose Edit → Show Browser.
3. Go to your Library. From the first column of the browser (the Genre one), choose "Podcast". In the third column of the browser (Album) those albums you see are the podcasts you were subscribed to do. Click on each "album" (podcast), choose all of its "songs" (the podcast's shows), and drag them to Podcasts in the Source column—see screenshot after the end of this list.
4. Go to Podcasts, you'll now see a collapsed entry for the podcast you just dragged and next to it a "Subscribe" button—click on it to re-subscribe to this podcast. (If you click the arrow to expand the entry you'll see that all of the podcast's shows that you dragged from the Library are there.)
5. Repeat process for each podcast you want to re-subscribe to.
(Screenshot that shows how to move podcasts from the Library view to Podcasts—click for larger size
You're done, that's pretty much it.
Thanks to Schmolle—without his findings I'd have probably never figured that out. I just brought his guide a bit up-to-date, and added Part 1 and the podcasts section.
If you're on a Mac, the process should be similar except your "iTunes Library.itl" file is simply "iTunes Library" (without an extension). (UPDATE: Rich confirms that it works.)
For those switching to Mac and wanting to carry their music and library data over, I'd like to know if the following works (i.e. AFAIK nobody's tested this):
1. blanking your "iTunes Library" file (on the Mac)
2. bringing over your "iTunes Music Library.xml" (from the PC) revised with the updated filepaths (for the Mac)
Finally, if you want to move your music from a "traditional" hard drive to a NAS (network attached storage) device, you may also want to read Simon's comment.
If you try it, let me know how it went. Furthermore, if you've got anything to add, or feel like sharing a relevant tip or two, leave a comment.

Zone change appealed to court
A controversial zone change in Tomé that county commissioners granted in August is being appealed in district court.
The fight over three acres on N.M. 47 began in late 2011, when Patti and Bernardo Garcia asked for a conditional use on the C-1 zoned parcel to establish an auto repair and body work shop.
After outcry from the public, the request was denied by the commissioners last February.
In July, the owners requested a zone change to community commercial, C-2, in order to open a landscaping materials company. County zoning ordinances require the higher zoning for landscaping and nursery businesses.
At the county's Aug. 15 meeting, the zone change was granted on a 4-1 vote, with Commissioner Donald Holliday casting the no vote.
"I don't think this matter is over with," Holliday commented. "It will be back in our lap sooner or later."
The change to C-2 was restricted to only allow for a landscaping materials company. If the Garcias, or any subsequent owner, used the property for any other allowable C-2 use, the acreage would automatically revert back to C-1 with no need for action by the county.
Local attorney Amavalise Jaramillo filed a statement of appellate issues in October on behalf of several land owners in the vicinity of the Garcias property.
The plaintiffs in the case are Steve Davis, James Fischer, Michael Maestas, Aaron Romero, Aaron Romero as trustee for Joseph I. Romero, and Chris Crespin.
According to the filing, Crespin and Bernardo Garcia purchased the property at 2975 N.M. 47 from county planning and zoning Commissioner Scott Edeal on a real estate contract and provided $28,205 on Nov. 2, 2011.
Jaramillo writes that at a June 25 planning and zoning hearing, the conditional zone change was given a unanimous recommendation for approval. According to the agenda and minutes from the June P&Z meeting, the meeting took place on June 27.
At that hearing, Edeal recused himself from the final vote and did not participate in the discussion of the zone change request.
The county commissioners heard the request at their Aug. 8 meeting, and former Commissioner Georgia Otero-Kirkham was absent, Jaramillo says in the appeal.
Jaramillo makes the argument that the commissioners acted "arbitrarily and capriciously" because they refused to consider evidence that Crespin had an interest in the property, and he would not be bound by the safeguards put in place by the commissioners that would prevent the property from being used for C-2 purposes other than a nursery.
Jaramillo also contends that the commission failed to assure that, if the property reverted back to Edeal, he too would be bound by the special conditions because he did not sign the findings of facts and conclusion of law.
The attorney also claims that Holliday conducted the meeting in an "arbitrary and capricious nature" because he refused to hear comments from the public about the character of the applicants, argued with members of the public making comments contrary to the zone change and argued points in favor of applicants to the public.
In the statement of appellate issues, Jaramillo writes that the commissioner's decision was not supported by the law because not only did commissioners Otero-Kirkham and Edeal have a financial interest in the subject project, Edeal influenced the planning and zoning process by being present despite recusing himself, and Otero-Kirkham voted despite being absent from the Aug. 8 commission meeting.
Jaramillo also claims that the zone change needed a super majority vote to pass, which could not have occurred without Otero-Kirkham's vote.
He closes the filing with, "As a matter of law, Commissioner (Otero-Kirkham's) procedural impropriety and the commission's cumulative bias violated petitioners' due process rights and should be reversed."
County attorney Dave Pato responded to the claim, asking the court to uphold the commissioner's decision.
The restrictive covenant on the property was filed and recorded with the county clerk on Aug. 29, according to Pato's response.
Since he was not the applicant for the zone change and because of the recorded covenant, Pato writes that Edeal's signature was neither necessary nor appropriate on the findings of fact and conclusion of law
Pato continues, addressing the claim that Crespin would not be bound by the same restrictions. He writes that if Crespin came into possession of the land, since the covenant filed by Edeal and Garcia runs with the land, he would also be bound by the restrictions.
Pato points out that, despite appellants' complaints regarding the manner in which Holliday conducted the public hearing and "their attacks" upon Holliday, he was the only commissioner who voted in favor of the appellants' position and against the conditional zone change.
Pato continues, saying the appellants further fail to articulate how Edeal's presence at the planning and zoning hearing ultimately impacted the decision reached by the commissioners, the decision at issue.
And Otero-Kirkham's absence from the Aug. 8 public hearing and the fact that her employer closed on the sale of the property did not require her to recuse herself from the final vote, Pato argues.
Otero-Kirkham states on the record that she reviewed the record prior to making her decision and appellants have failed to make an allegation or show that the commissioner failed to review the record before making her decision, Pato wrote, concluding that the matter was without merit.
On the matter of the closing on the property being done by Stewart Title, Pato writes that Otero-Kirkham is but an employee of the company, and had not received any direct pecuniary benefit from the transaction.
Pato continued, saying the commissioner had no part in the transaction.
At the Aug. 15 meeting, Otero-Kirkham addressed the issue directly, saying she was not the owner of the company and was paid the same salary by Stewart Title, regardless of the number of closings she performed.
Pato addressed the appellants' contention that the zone change needed a super-majority for the zone change, saying that even if Otero-Kirkham had not voted, the final vote would have been 3-1, or 75 percent, in favor of the zone change.
State statute requires a two-thirds, or 66 percent, super-majority approval in some instances, Pato wrote.
The attorney's response also addressed several issues in which he says the appellants' statement of appellate issues fails "in several respects."
First, Pato says the appellants failed to file a certificate with the district court that arrangements had been made with the county for the preparation of the record of proceedings when the notice of appeal was filed.
He also says the appellants didn't wait for the filing of the record before they filed their statement of appellate issues and attached exhibits that were not part of the record on appeal.
Pato moved to strike "all such materials."
He concluded the response by saying that the appellants have failed to provide a statement of the precise relief sought or to otherwise state the precise relief sought with any particularity.
"The reference to reversal in the statement of appellate issues would appear to refer to Commissioner Otero-Kirkham's alleged procedural impropriety, whatever that may be, and the commission's alleged bias, and not to the board's conditional approval of the zone change," Pato wrote.
Tony Williams, the attorney for the Garcias and Edeal Investments, filed a response to the appeal, flatly stating, "This appeal is without merit."
Throughout his response, Williams echoes many of the same arguments put forth in the county's response to the appeal.
Williams argues that the appellants did not order the record proper and submitted the statement of issues "without a single citation to the record."
"With no record proper to cite, petitioners attached exhibits, which are outside the record and should be stricken," Williams wrote.
Williams also argues that Edeal had a right to attend meetings pertaining to the property, did not vote at the planning and zoning hearing and did not attend the hearing in front of the county commissioners.
He says Otero-Kirkham's vote was proper, saying that no authority whatsoever has been cited that a panel member in any tribunal must hear every aspect of a cast in order to participate.
"There is nothing in the record showing that Commissioner (Otero-Kirkham) or her employer Stewart Title had any interest or involvement in any zoning issue before the county," Williams wrote.
The attorney argues that Crespin's claim that he was not subject to the restrictive covenant filed by the Garcias and Edeal, and therefore the county was in error, was "nonsensical."
"If Crespin thinks the county erred, he can remedy this instantly by acknowledging that he is bound by the covenant," Williams says in his reply.
Williams also notes that while Crespin did make the down payment on the property, Bernardo Garcia gave the commission a warranty deed and assignment, recorded Feb. 7, 2012, transferring Crespin's purchaser's interest in the real estate contract for the purchase of the property to Garcia.
The question of ownership is currently the subject of another district court case between Crespin and the Garcias.
Regarding Holliday's conduct of the hearing, Williams argues that any allegations of his prejudice are unfounded and "belied by his vote."
