MAC Riveting Collection: Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
MAC Studded Nail Lacquer
MAC Riveting Collection: Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
Finally, there are three matte-finish nail polishes. They are: Wham, Bam, Glam (officially described as a matte cool dark taupe), Studded (officially described as a matte true silver with pearl), and Black Enough? (officially described as a matte black).
Surprisingly, it feels like MAC was late to the party on this. They do, normally, seem to be fairly timely with their trend-based products. The formula on these is too thick for my taste–they're almost kind of goopy. You might need to thin these polishes down a bit to make them easier to use. Even though matte nails are kind of cool, I do find they accent any flaws you have in your nails (like I have some vertical ridges/lines on mine, shh). Like other matte lacquers, these dry incredibly fast, which is probably my favorite aspect of matte polishes in general!
Nail Lacquer ($12.00 U.S. / $14.50 CDN)
- Wham, Bam, Glam is a dark taupe with a matte finish. Read the second paragraph in the post about texture/feel–it's consistent across all three shades. Two coats to get a fairly even look and feel.
- Studded is a silver shimmered gray with a matte finish, but it looks almost foiled or metallic, because of the shimmer. I liked this one out of the three, because it applied the best and looked the nicest afterward. It was still a bit thick in the formula, though. Two coats to get a fairly even look and feel.
- Black Enough? is a rich matte black. Again, the formula was thick and the matte formula has a tendency to showcase imperfections in my nails. Two coats to get a fairly even look and feel.
Are you still feeling the matte look?

Recipe by a
"My dad brings home venison each year, and my mom never knew how to cook it. When I was 16, I threw some venison and a few spices and sauces into the slow cooker before heading off to school. We were all surprised that it turned out great! I've perfected the recipe since then."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 tablespoon
olive oil
onion, diced
2 teaspoons
minced garlic
1 pound
boneless venison roast
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup
soy sauce
1/4 cup
chile-garlic sauce
1/4 teaspoon
liquid smoke
1/3 cup
2 teaspoons
1 tablespoon
This recipe is a keeper. I am not a big venison eater, but my kids and husband are. I even ate this meal. It was tender and tasted great. It tasted like barbaqued spare ribs!!! I will keep this recipe on hand and use it again. I did not find just a chile-garlic sauce, so I used Cholula chile-garlic sauce. The sauce and the meat had a zing to it. I did not cook the onion and garlic before hand. I put everything in the crock pot and it sat overnight in the fridge. I cooked it on low all day. I then made some rice and served the meat and sauce over the rice. It was a very tasty meal.
The favors are STRONG! This is a good recipe if you need to cover the taste of venison that wasn't properly cared for in the field or is getting old.

I have been eating and cooking venison my whole life. This is my favorite preparation! I swapped a tablespoon of Worchestershire for the liquid smoke, added a julienned green pepper toward the end of cooking time, and served it over rice. I will make this again and again.
Great! I cut out the liquid smoke (not a fan) but it turned out fantastic. The meat fell apart as I was taking it out of the crock pot. I used the leftovers for pulled venison tacos and it was fab! Thanks for a great recipe!
Very good recipe. I replaced the liquid smoke with more Worchestershire sauce. Also, I cooked the roast on low for almost 5 hours and it was a little overdone. I will check the roast temp more closely next time and will probably stop closer to 4 hours. I'm not a big venison lover, but my husband is. This recipe made vension very enjoyable for me and my husband loved it. Thanks.
Awesome! Easy to make and the whole family loved it, even the kids! I didn't have any chile-garlic sauce so I used asian sweet chili sauce instead! Turned out GREAT!
We LOVE this recipe but chose to use 1 or 2 TB of green jalapeno tabasco instead of the chili sauce. WONDERFUL!
I am a vegetarian, but my husband is a hunter. I made this recipe and he was salivating. I could not find Chile-garlic, so I purchased the Chile sauce and added crushed garlic. Thank you so very much for this recipe, will be making again!

Week Eight of area high school football is upon us and several local teams will see some action tonight.
We first head to Lake Butler, where the Newberry Panthers (4-2) will be taking on the Union County Fightin' Tigers (5-1). After a tough 30-12 loss in their first district game of the season over Dixie County last week, the Tigers are hoping to gain back some momentum. Union County coach Ronnie Pruitt says this game will be a big challenge.
"We're on the one game season now," Pruitt said. "I mean, we lose this week and our hopes are done of making it to the playoffs and that is our ultimate goal."
The Panthers on the other hand, are coming into this game with a 31-29 victory in their first district game of the season against Williston. Newberry coach Kepa Sarduy says a win over the Tigers would be huge for the Panthers moving forward.
"A win over Union County would put us right back into the mix for the playoffs," Sarduy said. "A loss makes it really difficult because then you have to count on other teams to help you out."
Kickoff for Newberry/Union County is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Next up, the Buchholz Bobcats (3-3) will travel to Orange Park to take on the Oakleaf Knights (3-4). The Knights are entering this game with a 44-0 shutout over Arlington Country Day. The Bobcats however, are coming off a 26-14 loss to GHS last week. Bobcats coach Mark Whittemore says his team tends to struggle with away games and needs to really focus on preparing themselves in order to come out victorious.
"We have not played well when we've left the friendly confines of Gainesville," Whittemore said. "So we really need to work on getting the mental preparation side of it together."
Some other notable games scheduled for tonight include PK Yonge (3-4) v. Ocala Trinity Catholic (4-3), GHS (5-1) v. Ocala Vanguard (3-3), Hawthorne (1-4) v. Trenton (4-1), Chiefland (5-1) vs. Williston (5-2), and Santa Fe (3-3) v. Belleview (3-3).

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho confirmed on Friday that two offers had been received for the Belgium international midfielder, one of which he said would interest the Blues and the player.
De Bruyne, 22, has only played nine games, three of them in the Premier League, this season.
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs told the Wolfsburger Nachrichten that the player would have a medical early this week and join his new team-mates on a training camp in China.
He said: "We're not quite at the stage of confirming the transfer, but the differences with Chelsea are not insurmountable."
De Bruyne, under contract with Chelsea until 2017, is understood to be keen on a return to Germany, where he spent a successful season on loan at Werder Bremen last year.
And for Wolfsburg, he could be the ideal replacement for Brazilian Diego, who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.

UFC 167 Ratings report: GSP sets PPV record in Quebec
According to a report from MMAFighting's Dave Meltzer, UFC 167 was a major hit in Georges St. Pierre's home province of Quebec.
Indigo, which handles the pay-per-view in the province, sent out a release stating that UFC 167 had broke the record for the most buys, since it was bought by 'Videotron' in 2009.
Which means that 'UFC 167: Hendricks vs. St. Pierre' pulled better numbers than March's 'UFC 158: Diaz vs. St. Pierre' event, which was one of the strongest North American pay-per-views in UFC history.
The release also mentioned that attendance in sports bars and restaurants in Quebec for the fight were also at record levels.
No pay-per-view numbers on a 'National' or 'North American' basis are available at this time for UFC 167, however, these early indications point toward UFC 167 as being a VERY successful event for the UFC.
Stay tuned to bjpenn.com to see if UFC 167 set record pay-per-view numbers in the United States of America as well.

Getting Pregnant
I actually spent all day at the hospital because of this exact same thing!!
I first just called the midwife to tell her that I was having contractions and I was having about 5-6 an hour. Told me to come in to be monitored and sure enough they told me the same things....Rest, water, and more rest!
I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow to make sure that I'm dilating any more.
Hope we both are ok!! Don't want these LO's to come out before they're done cooking

Colleague Pete Finch helps manage, produce, organize and edit a lot of projects at Golf Digest. And in addition to writing a monthly money column, some travel stories and cleaning up most of my copy, Finch also works on the 100 Greatest lists, and most recently he helped developed the Course Critic app.
The what? Finch explains:
Got a smart phone? Golf Digest has a new mobile app you might like. Course Critic, as it's known, is available for free for your iPhone or Android phone.
Course Critic isn't exactly a "course finder" -- we'll be rolling out one of these soon -- but it will give you phone numbers and directions to any course in our rankings of America's 100 Greatest Courses, 100 Greatest Public and Best in State.
This app is meant for people who are highly opinionated about golf courses (sound familiar?). With Course Critic, you can look up your favorite courses and rate them using the same seven-criteria grading system as the Golf Digest panelists, the low-handicap golf-architecture buffs behind our rankings. (For more on how this works, click here.) If you can't be bothered with all those different criteria, Course Critic users can just fill out a simple "comment" form and tell Golf Digest what you think of the course. When you click "submit," your rating or comment will come to Golf Digest by email. We'll gather them up to help shape our Places to Play course guide on the web site.
The app also lets you create lists: courses you have played, courses you WANT to play, your favorite courses, and courses you have rated (along with the scores you gave them). You can share these lists with your friends via email or on Facebook.
Already a few users have used Course Critic to send us notes saying their favorite course isn't in our data base. While I'm hoping that's a rare occurrence, it's definitely in the spirit of this app: Send us a comment and your voice will be heard!
While we're on the subject of apps: I've also been enjoying the free iPhone app GolfShot Lite, from the company Shotzoom Software. Not only does it make it easy to keep score for everyone in my group, it tracks a boatload of numbers on each round. I'm not a big stat guy but this is cool. I can see I'm hitting 89 percent of fairways, for example, but reaching only 56 percent of greens in regulation. And my putting is pretty awful. (I didn't actually need an app to tell me that.)
GolfShot has a $30 upgrade that will turn your phone into a GPS rangefinder. I played with a buddy the other day who had this and it was reasonably accurate - though it was murder on his phone battery. He might need to spend another $80 and get a charger like this one.

The fifth expansion pack for CCP's sci-fi massively multiplayer online role-playing game EVE Online has been dated for December 5. Trinity will add a new graphics engine, and all ships, stations, and stargates have been reconstructed using new lighting models and surfaces to make them appear more detailed and realistic.
EVE Online: Trinity will also add new missions, items, and ships to the gameworld.

What is the Entner-Doudoroff pathway?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The Entner-Doudoroff pathway was discovered by Nathan Entner and Michael Doudoroff. This pathway describes an alternate series of reactions that catabolize glucose to a pyruvate and a glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate using enzymes that are different than the enzymes used on glycolysis or the pentose phosphate pathway. The interesting feature of this pathway is the cleavage of 6-phosphogluconate to yield pyruvateand glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

Laguna Little Miss Kickball League founders to be inducted Saturday into Kickball Hall of Fame
CORPUS CHRISTI - When their daughters became restless watching their brothers play Little League, several mothers knew those girls needed a league of their own.
It was 1970, when they put together three teams to form the Laguna Little Miss Kickball League in Flour Bluff.
Forty later, six founding members will be honored Saturday as inductees into the American Kickball Hall of Fame.
"We can't believe it's come this far," said Marcela "Marty" Caldwell, a league organizer, former coach and one of the inductees.
That three-team league has grown to 17 leagues across Texas.
But first it was only an idea, one sparked by inductee Shirley Boyd's son who came home raving about a game they had played at school that was similar to baseball, but kids kicked the ball instead.
But organizers say the game isn't as easy as the playground games many remember.
"Some of these girls can put a curve on that ball like you wouldn't believe," Caldwell said.
Hall of Fame organizers have dreams of building a museum to honor league players, who number thousands of women during the past four decades.
"This is something we've been talking about doing for years," said Eddie Savoy, hall of fame president.
"We realized it needed to happen soon because none of us are getting any younger."
The group first began playing in a field between the junior high and elementary schools in Flour Bluff.
The league expanded quickly, sparking teams from other parts of the city.
That meant they needed a bigger place to play.
So the women wrote their senator and got the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to clear land near the Navy's airstrip at Waldron Field.
For $200, the women hired a lawyer, became incorporated and formed Little Miss Kickball International Inc.
Now the organization has a board of directors, bylaws, a charter and a league rule book thicker than a magazine.
But it wouldn't have happened without the volunteer work of devoted parents, said Arnold DeLeon, a former coach and master of ceremonies for Saturday's induction.
"We're all out there for the kids," he said.
"It's really rewarding to see them smile."
Boyd's three daughters played in the league, some traveling around the state to take on teams in other cities.
Last year, Boyd attended the opening ceremonies in Flour Bluff to kick off the season.
Spectators were stacked four rows deep on benches, she said.
"From this small little group we started, to come out here and see lines of girls all across the field — it was just amazing to see," she said.
What: American Kickball Hall of Fame inaugural induction
When: 1 p.m. Saturday
Where: Cornerstone Church, 3409 Waldron Road
Cost: Free
Inductees: Barbara Miesen, Shirley Boyd, Laneal Brittain, Ramona Barrera, Marcela Caldwell and Inez Cofer.

WSC's latest faculty publication comes from Dr. Fesko, and is titled, Songs of a Suffering King: the Grand Christ Hymn of Psalms 1-8 (Grand Rapids: Reformation Heritage Books, 2014). The book's publisher offers the following description:
Our Lord has wisely given the Psalms, the songbook of the Bible, for the benefit of the church. But for many people, the Psalms' contents are mysterious because they no longer have a place of prominence in the church's worship. Author J. V. Fesko hopes to awaken the church to the majesty, beauty, and splendor of the Psalms through a devotional exploration of Psalms 1–8, a "grand Christ hymn," in which David, as the suffering king, prefigures the king of kings, Jesus Christ. To encourage readers to come to a greater appreciation for the Psalms, the author includes with each chapter questions for further reflection and study and a metrical version of each psalm. He also recommends Internet resources that provide digital files of the tunes.
And here's what one of the book's endorsers has to say:
"The Psalms are beloved by Christians everywhere, yet their historical context and intended meaning are little known today. In Songs of a Suffering King, John Fesko skillfully and pastorally unpacks the original setting and theological riches of Psalms 1–8. In doing so, he insightfully explains the christocentric nature of the Psalms as well as provides practical biblical instruction to all Christian pilgrims who travel the pathway from suffering to glory." — Jon D. Payne, organizing pastor of Christ Church Presbyterian, Charleston, South Carolina, and the series editor of the Lectio Continua Expository Commentary on the New Testament

Pathways to the new biology: Tim Sears, 2012 summer student
Without a strong bioinformatics component, the Laboratory's renowned Summer Student Program wouldn't have appealed nearly as much to Tim Sears. A recent graduate of the Vermont Commons School, a small independent preparatory school with a strong ecological focus, Sears is a self-taught computer programmer whose other work includes helping automate Wikipedia's vandal-detection efforts.
"We used basic AI (Artificial Intelligence) programming to automate the recognition of vandals' edits and revert them back to the original text," Sears says off-handedly. "It's cut the hours needed for manual quality control by about half."
At the Laboratory Sears has been working with Assistant Professor Matt Hibbs, Ph.D. Hibbs seeks to use existing data and AI to predict gene interactions involved with complex diseases and establish targets to test in animal models. In Sears' opinion, the AI tools currently available for the work are not working well enough yet, and he's interested in improving them. Perhaps.
"Biology is great, but it's very frustrating!" he says. "It's messy. My experience here has shown me that we still don't know how complex diseases work on the molecular level. When we have enough data we'll probably be able to figure it out, but we're not there yet. We're still early in the process of finding all the variables."
With that statement, Sears succinctly underlines why talented people are needed from many disciplines to work in bioinformatics and why the effort continues to be so important. As for him, it's possible that he will join the bioinformatics fray after college—he will matriculate at Cornell University this fall—but for the moment it's one of several options.
"I'm leaning toward math and statistics in college," he says. "Ultimately I want to work on complex problems with many variables. Maybe it will be in genomics, but I'm very interested in climate change and other fields as well."
Wherever his journey takes him, one thing is clear: There will be a place for him in bioinformatics research if and when he decides to take that path.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb records hit, RBI after surprising call-up
PHOENIX -- John and Deonne Lamb had taken this week off from work to spend some time at their cabin in Idaho, but their retreat was interrupted by a phone call from their 23-year-old son.
The Lambs, parents to Arizona Diamondbacks third base prospect Jake Lamb, found themselves Thursday not in the mountains of Idaho, but in the Valley -- not in rocking chairs or wicker, but in hard plastic seats, watching their son make his Major League debut.
"They were supposed to be there for a week. They had three days there when I called them with the bad news," Lamb joked before Thursday's series finale with the Kansas City Royals.
The Seattle, Wash., native arrived at Chase Field on Thursday as one of the D-backs' top position player prospects --�a status his organization wanted to see on display at the Major League level. He has hit to a .327/.407/.566 slash line in 108 minor league games this season while hitting 15 home runs and 84 RBI.
In opting to promote Lamb on Thursday, rather than waiting until rosters expand in September, the D-backs knew they were sending a message.
"We were kind of looking toward the future a little more," manager Kirk Gibson said before the game. "We made a decision as an organization to (advance) guys to try to get a better idea of what their capabilities are."
Later adding that there was "a curiosity" of whether Lamb was a fit for next year, and that they were aiming to determine how far along the third baseman was in his development, Gibson revealed the organization's plans for him down the stretch.
"He's going to be our third baseman," the manager said.
Getting the start there Thursday, while hitting sixth in his manager's batting order, Lamb went 1-for-4, with his first career hit -- and RBI -- coming in the third inning. After former Mobile teammates David Peralta and Chase Anderson warned that he could expect more nerves than usual in his debut, Lamb was tested immediately.
Royals right fielder Nori Aoki sliced a dribbler down the third base line on the second pitch of the game, requiring Lamb to charge toward home plate and throw across his body to first base. In the following at-bat, on the sixth pitch of the game, Lamb corralled head-level line drive yanked his way by Royals second baseman Omar Infante.
"That was nice, you know, to get those (plays) out of the way," Lamb said after the game. "It kind of got the nerves down a little bit."
As these things tend to go, it had been a tumultuous 24 hours or so for Lamb and his holidaying parents. Really, dating back to over a week ago, when the D-backs traded third baseman Martin Prado to the New York Yankees, his sense of normalcy was tilted.
On July 31, the day of the trade, Lamb knew that a call-up could be imminent.
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about it," he said, referring to his candidacy with the D-backs after Prado departed. "I was in the trainer's room talking with one of our trainers, and one of the guys came in and showed me the Twitter feed, and I started shaking a little bit. You know, I thought it was going to be my turn."
It wasn't his turn, per se, just yet, but a promotion was in order for him as the D-backs recalled Triple-A Reno third baseman Andy Marte, whose place Lamb took on the Aces.
Days later, the two were swapping places, with Lamb earning his Major League designation after going 9-for-18 with a home run and five RBI in Triple-A.
"I got the call from (Mobile BayBears manager) Andy Green and that was special to me, because he managed me in Missoula my rookie year and managed me obviously this whole year in Mobile," he said of his call-up.
Lamb, who missed Green's first call or two as he napped, made no attempt to downplay the magnitude of the occasion Thursday, talking openly about how much the night would mean to him.
"I definitely broke down a little bit," he said of the moments after he got Green's phone call. "It's what I've been working for my whole life, and that call to my parents was something I'll remember for the rest of my life."
And that he had just, for the first time, stepped on Reno soil made the nature of his call-up all the more surprising, Lamb said.
"Yeah, when I was going to Reno, I kind of settled in," he said. "You know, (thinking) I'm going to make a playoff run with this team and it's a great team down there -- a lot of older guys that accepted me right away. And it was a good experience for those five days.
"I was very surprised, just because I played four or five games in Triple-A and we had an off-day in Reno. I went outside yesterday to look at the ballpark and I was excited to play there, and all of the sudden I get a call that I'm coming here. And I'm pretty excited to play here, too."

At the Spotlight on Military News and International Affairs:
International News
SIPRNet: Where America stores its secret cables – More – DISA – More
As for the significance, Timothy Garton Ash in the Guardian:
…from what I have seen, the professional members of the US foreign service have very little to be ashamed of. Yes, there are echoes of skulduggery at the margins, especially in relation to the conduct of "the war on terror" in the Bush years. Specific questions must be asked and answered. For the most part, however, what we see here is diplomats doing their proper job: finding out what is happening in the places to which they are posted, working to advance their nation's interests and their government's policies.
In fact, my personal opinion of the state department has gone up several notches. In recent years, I have found the American foreign service to be somewhat underwhelming, reach-me-down, dandruffy, especially when compared with other, more confident arms of US government, such as the Pentagon and the treasury. But what we find here is often first rate.
As readers will discover, the man who is now America's top-ranking professional diplomat, William Burns, contributed from Russia a highly entertaining account – almost worthy of Evelyn Waugh – of a wild Dagestani wedding attended by the gangsterish president of Chechnya, who danced clumsily "with his gold-plated automatic stuck down the back of his jeans".
…one question remains. How can diplomacy be conducted under these conditions? A state department spokesman is surely right to say that the revelations are "going to create tension in relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world". The conduct of government is already hampered by fear of leaks. An academic friend of mine who worked in the state department under Condoleezza Rice told me that he had once suggested writing a memo posing fundamental questions about US policy in Iraq. "Don't even think of it," he was warned – because it would be sure to appear in the next day's New York Times.
There is a public interest in understanding how the world works and what is done in our name. There is a public interest in the confidential conduct of foreign policy. The two public interests conflict.
One thing I'd bet on, though: the US government must surely be ruing, and urgently reviewing, its weird decision to place a whole library of recent diplomatic correspondence on to a computer system so brilliantly secure that a 22-year-old could download it on to a Lady Gaga CD. Gaga, or what?

Editorial: Coming here should be an easy option
Should true identifying factors ever take hold, sacrifice is going to be involved and hurt feelings will have to be absorbed.
That's the reality of trying to solve the livelihood problem for so many in Vance County, Henderson and the surrounding area.
Our individual umbrellas are going to be needed. But the large umbrella of the region, business-wise tagged Triangle North, will have to go forth as the leader.
Right now, the four parks are empty, recent positive industry news for Granville County hasn't included its park and we're struggling to see genuine deep-rooted groundswell for cooperation.
We hope we're wrong. Our previous opinion ("Sum of parts will resurrect our economy," Sept. 25) has not changed in the need for unity.
We've seen or read about many communities that, in time, overhauled their approach and truly did revitalize. It might have been through a downtown approach or otherwise, but it does happen. The successful stories are tied through a couple of factors — they played to their current assets, and they played together.
Asking four counties and the municipalities within them to do that can be a bureaucratic headache of immense proportions. But word is already out about us. State commerce department officials recognize Triangle North as "ahead of the curve."
We can't stay there with lawsuits between our governments, no pinpoint leadership in our anchor project and a lack of unity in how we project ourselves. When Sharon Decker addressed the Henderson-Vance Economic Development Commission Tuesday, she explained concisely why companies choose locations. They like sites ready with low costs in quickly starting up; workforce availability; and incentives.
Companies like shopping with ease, even one which will physically check more than 70 sites. Either we hear the message collectively or face sad facts about where our community is headed.
We need to remove all the albatrosses. In any relationship, imperfections exist and will be found. Industries considering us will know us.
Urbanization tendencies of society are the norm. Our governor has three years, and might could have seven, remaining in office. There should be no reason our "model program," as described by Decker, can't be within his favorite pet projects, keeping us ahead of the curve.
For now, our region is at a crossroads.

Loved our dinner. From the celery /apple soup, tile fish appetizer and the sword fish. The food amazing! All the staff was so attentive. We have already made our next reservation. One of the reviews said its hard to get a reservation. Yes we had to make ours we'll in advance now I understand why.
Posted by Julia on 06/13/2012
We waited several weeks to get our reservation, but when we did dine, we weren't disappoiinted. Unlike the so-callled foodie that said they were disappointed--if they were real foodies, they would know never to go to a restaruant on a Sunday--someone is fooling themselves! Our meal was excellent, the waiter a bit snooty (very French), and the wait well work it.

We planned to go to Bibou, and we are foodies, who like to eat out and we cook very well. I see why it is so hard to get a seat at Bibou. It is not because of the crowd, but since ther are only 11 tables and the place has no room to move or fart! The food is very elegant, but on Sunday, they must have cleaned out the fridge to put that meal together. lentil cold soap tasted like Elmer's glue with cold tofu chunks. The halibut fillet was good but it had a weird combination of vegetables beneath. the desert, Choc. Pot creme, tasted like it was left in the icebox for three weeks and no one wanted it. Cold, weird texture and not very chocolatey. I would never sit in that place again for a meal when you can sit in a nice chair outside at geno's Restaurant and have a cheese steak that tastes great, and can be with or without. Bibou is very sadly reviewed, not impressed by the food, but people are very regale, and extremely in your face about how wonderful their food is, oh really?
Posted by raven on 05/21/2010
The food is great, especially anything they make with the chanterelles mushrooms. Charlotte is the perfect host. BYOB is another plus. Only drawback is it's noisy and cramped. But if you love good food, this place is a must.
Posted by Yuliya on 07/23/2009
My boyfriend took me to this little gem for my birthday. I love French cuisine, and was completely blown away by the food at Bibou: homey, yet sofisticated; subtle, yet extraordinary - we ended up licking our plates :-) Everything from sweetbreads, foie gras and chanterelle mushrooms to seared tuna, lamb sirloin and goat cheese dessert was delicious! The owners Pierre and Charlotte were very friendly and made us feel at home. This will definitely become our favourite French bistro.
Posted by The Smiths on 06/23/2009
The Smiths went back to Bibou on Sunday to try the tasting menu. It consisted of: - Chilled summer squash consomme, duck tenderloin brunoise - Braised oxtail terrine, organic red beet salad - Seared scallop, saffron cauliflower puree and florets, rhubarb lemon vinaigrette - Roasted bone marrow - Seared foie gras, griotte cherries and posched pears - Hanger steak, sauce au poivre, sauteed potatoes and green asparagus - Cheese plate: Valencay, Edel de Cleron, Roquefort, served with tomatillo jam and poached pears - Blueberry pie All was very good, well prepared and highly enjoyed. The scallop, bone marrow, foie gras and the cheese plate particulary stood out. This was the best bone marrow I have ever enjoyed! I would like to clear up what may be a misperception by some readers. I have favorably compared the preparation, inventiveness of the chef, quality of ingredients, etc (ie., what you eat) to what has been served to me in certain world class restaurants such as Per Se. I never meant to say that the overall experience is the same as in these vaunted restaurants. How can a tiny bistro in south philly compare with the pomp and circumstance of a Per Se or Inn at Little Washington? However, while atmosphere and fawning service means something in the end, it is meaningless unless the food is world class and that is the class of the food at Bibou which, by the way, is served in a friendly and efficient manner in a small but pleasant room at a fraction of the price. One of the things that bores me quickly with a restaurant is when the menu does not change. While a number of the core items such as scallops and hanger steak may be always on the menu at Bibou, the prep changes constantly and this is where Pierre shines as small changes completely change the nature of the dish to keep you interested. This week is Birchrunville Cafe and The Whip Tavern, then back to Bibou next week. ENJOY!!
Posted by The Smiths on 05/14/2009
The Smiths were at Bibou last night and it definitely gets a vote from both of us. Starting with the fresh bread made daily in-house, moving on the the best foie gras (uniquely enhanced by fresh mango and pumpkin toast) that we have ever had, continuing with a deliciously tender and flavorful hanger steak and ending with both a very french and tasty cheese plate and dessert sampler, this is one very nice restaurant in the style of a french bistro BYBO. Charlotte and Pierre are gracious hosts and have attractively restyled the restaurant. Although they have only been open for a week, the staff was flawless in an easygoing and friendly manner. Highly recommended!

Kristen Bennett
After being released from the hospital, the woman shot last week when she tried to attack her sister-in-law with a knife was arrested Tuesday, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Kristen Laurie Cutshaw Bennett, 24, 187 Berry Ridge Road, is charged with aggravated assault in the Aug. 23 incident with her neighbor and sister-in-law, Amanda Hartley.
When deputies responded to the shooting call at 181 Berry Ridge Road, which is Hartley's address, they found Bennett with a gunshot wound. She was transported to the Johnson City Medical Center where she was admitted for treatment.
During the investigation, deputies learned that Hartley was home around 1:30 a.m. Aug. 23 when she heard a noise from outside her home. There had been recent vandalism at her property, so she got her gun and went to investigate.
"When she went around the corner she saw the defendant (Bennett) standing on a fence that had been knocked down holding a knife," Investigator Herman Hagie wrote in a court affidavit.
Hartley told Bennett to go home and leave her alone, then went to her front door to go back inside. She then realized that door was locked.
Hartley told investigators that Bennett had followed her onto the porch and began stabbing at her with the knife.
"(Hartley) advised she then fired her handgun into the ground in an attempt to scare (Bennett). The victim advised the defendant then started backing off the porch and into the yard," Hagie wrote.
Hartley took that opportunity to go to the side door where she had exited the house. She said she was about halfway down the front porch ramp when Bennett started towards her again and had the knife raised up.
"The victim advised she then fired her handgun again towards the ground at which time the defendant threw the knife at her with it striking the residence behind her," Hagie reported.
Investigators found the knife form the porch as well as "some notes of a threatening manner," near the fence.
Bennett was being held on a $50,000 bond and will be arraigned this afternoon.Related content:

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
LISBON, Portugal, June 9, 2003 Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said today that the military is examining the stationing of U.S. troops worldwide.
In addition to the recent decision to pull U.S. troops off the demilitarized zone separating the North and South Korea, other movements may occur in the future.
"We are at varying stages in different parts of the globe in our thinking," Rumsfeld told reporters traveling with him for a series of European meetings.
U.S. forces are organized by combatant commands, each with an area of responsibility where its commander is in charge of placing troops. But Rumsfeld and DoD planners are examining the "footprint" of American forces worldwide. He said while a combatant commander looks at the world via his area of responsibility, DoD must look wider. The "seams" between commands are particularly troublesome, he said.
"We have been sequentially having (the combatant commanders) come in and give us their best recommendations," he said. "And we've looked at them and sent them back and suggested they look at some other options.
"Now what we're doing is looking at them all together," he continued. He said experts are taking the various pieces, "and asking the question, 'How can we best arrange ourselves from the standpoint of the American people and in the most cost-effective way?'"
At the same time, U.S. government officials are discussing the process with friends and allies around the world. Some discussions are with allies that already host U.S. forces such as in Europe while others are with countries with no appreciable U.S. presence.
"It's complicated," Rumsfeld said. "It's a big set of issues terribly important to our country, and we think we're approaching it in a very orderly and thoughtful way."
Rumsfeld addressed the U.S. presence in Europe. He said the forces "are somewhat of a legacy." U.S. forces were oriented to the defense of Western Europe and the threat of the Soviet Union. "So the question isn't, 'What do you need to defend against the Soviet Union?' but 'How do you want to be arranged around the world?' And that's the way we're addressing it," he said.
The discussion may come up during Rumsfeld's visits in the region, although he said that's not the trip's purpose.
Rumsfeld will meet with Portuguese Defense Minister Paulo Portas. He will then fly to Tirana, Albania, for discussions with Prime Minister Fatos Nanos and Defense Minister Pandeli Majko.
The secretary will then fly to Germany, where he will address the 10th anniversary of the founding of the George C. Marshall Center for Security Studies before moving on to Brussels for the NATO defense ministerial.
"The NATO meeting is an important one, because we have made some good progress and we intend to continue that effort," he said. The defense ministers will discuss NATO's command structure changes and how U.S. changes fit.
NATO ministers too will look at the alliances force footprint. Rumsfeld said they have made some changes and "will make more."
The secretary said he is pleased with the progress NATO is making on the NATO response force.

LAS VEGAS - The married couple who police say killed three people in Las Vegas, including two police officers, had been kicked off a ranch where anti-government protesters faced down federal agents earlier this year.
Ammon Bundy, the son of rancher Cliven Bundy, tells The Associated Press that Jerad and Amanda Miller were asked to leave his father's ranch after being there for a few days this spring.
Ammon Bundy says that while details are still sketchy, the Millers' conduct was the problem.
He calls the couple "very radical" and says they didn't "align themselves" with the protest's main issues.
They were told to leave by members of a militia that also had come to the ranch in support of Bundy.

ERWIN — Winter is officially over, which is welcome news to the many clamoring for the longer days and warmer weather of spring.
But on the first day of the new season, Unicoi County Sheriff Mike Hensley shared his concerns over one of the less-desirable aspects of spring. On Thursday, Hensley said the Irish Travelers may soon make their return to Unicoi County, as they typically do this time of year.
"I just want to make the public aware that if anyone shows up wanting to do paving, barn painting, house painting, etc., they need to make sure they are a licensed contractor from a reputable company," Hensley said. "These people have been in this business for a long time. ... They're scammers."
Hensley said there have not been any sightings of the Irish Travelers in Unicoi County, but he said they have been seen in Washington County.
The Unicoi County Sheriff's Department has dealt with the group for a number of years. According to officials, contractors with the Irish Travelers, a group based out of South Carolina, make an annual stop in Unicoi County as they travel the interstate on their way north.
Officials previously said these "transient contractors" go door-to-door soliciting work to do jobs such as sealing driveways and painting homes and barns, and offering lower prices for such work.
But Hensley said the materials used by these contractors is substandard, and they prefer to deal in cash, often offering better deals for those willing to pay it, as cash makes them more difficult to track down. Contractors with the Irish Travelers also typically present customers with bills higher than initial price quotes, police said.
Anyone observing suspicious activity is asked to contact the Unicoi County Sheriff's Department at 743-1864 or 743-1850.comments powered by Disqus

The last six months have been a bit of a ride – not only writing and publishing my first novella, but being plunged into the depths of marketing. In the midst of it all, I have not had as much time to just do what I love – write.
Today, I got re-inspired. A writing club at a local high school contacted me through the Writers Guild of Alberta and asked me to come speak to them about writing. Sure, I replied. They said, they couldn't pay me … but I didn't care. I knew I would probably get loads more back, and I did.
Five young women showed up – Maddi, Marley, Pauline, Nicole and Esther – who were all extremely well-read. I asked them what their favourite books were and I was thrilled with the diversity of their replies: David Eddings, Orson Scott Card, Gail Carson Levine, Brent Weeks, and even Graphic Novelist Ben Templesmith.
And most interesting to hear … they weren't too impressed with "Twilight." When talking about Bella, the main character, one of the students commented: "The whole book might as well be like: 'insert yourself here' for the character of Bella. No one is that average."
Insightful comments indeed.
To be honest, I'm not sure what I could offer them … they all had fresh ideas and interesting perspectives – their story ideas varied from wanting to write about old forts and the thick mud travellers used to have to deal with to people's nervous habits. The only thing they really needed to hear was to pursue – and just keep writing and reading. Writing and reading.
A message I needed to remind myself with.
In the end, I did get paid… with a lovely bouquet of flowers and re-inspiration. And most importantly – a list of books to check out … An author really can't ask for anything more, can they?

Letters to the editor
Help needed for annual Christmas Eve dinnerEditor:The fight against hunger and the need for shelter continues for those in Valencia County. Hardly anyone I know can say they don't know anyone or have not seen it for themselves. For the past 17 years, we have been able to put a dinner together with the wonderful support of our community. The dinner is held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 24, at 1000 W. Chavez and 10 Street, in Belen. You can show your support by making a donation of a toy for children ages 1-13, gift certificates from our local market or a monetary donation to be dropped off at Ladyhawk Feed & Supply, 800 S. Main Street in Belen.This dinner represents the hope for those in need, but never forgotten, that those who face this problem will be supported and that one day hunger will be eliminated. Contact Yvonne at Ladyhawk Feed, 864-3336, for information or questions. Our gratitude goes out to a few of our supporters: Rutillo's, Sopas, Henrietta's, Sisneros Bros. and many thanks to all who have helped!Yvonne MaushundBelenBeing divorced doesn't mean you'll be lonelyEditor:I am not only shocked, but also appalled by The Little Red Hen's lengthy opinion piece that ran in the Nov. 16 issue of the News-Bulletin.I am so appalled, in fact, that it has taken me several days just to regain my composure enough to write a response. I used to be rather amused by her columns when she spoke about the difficulties of living in a foreign country, and how her American-ness got in the way sometimes. However, this rant about the evils of divorce just went beyond the pale. Yes, I am divorced. No, it was not an easy decision or one taken lightly. I lived for nearly 20 years with my husband, and I prayed long and hard for at least 15 of those years to be a better wife, make the peace, do what's best for the children, love my husband, etc. I went into a suicidal depression four years into the marriage that lasted five years, but even that was not enough of a wake-up call for me. It took 10 more years and a body that got very ill in order for me to begin to figure out that my marriage was destroying me. And what about all the sermons in church, praising the godliness of the intact family? Do you think that this doesn't hurt a woman or man in the heart when they are doing their best to figure out what the hell went wrong in their lives that they ended up in a marriage that is killing their souls?It sounds from the column, that you, Ms. Smith, take a dim view of men in general. Well, I actually don't. I believe that in the majority, men are decent and kind, and that they want to do the right thing for their wives and their children. I believe that most men are not lazy, non-participating, uncooperative or intent on making a woman's life difficult. And furthermore, I believe that under the right circumstances, with the right partner, everyone is capable of being their best … or their worst. Divorce does not mean your kids will be jailbirds. It does not mean that they will be in trouble at school. It does not mean that the woman will end up trapped in loneliness. It can mean that the woman gives a good example to her children about how to stand up for themselves. It can mean that growth and change sometimes means we have to part ways with someone we used to love. It can mean that we grow stronger as a result. It can mean that we open ourselves up to healthy relationships with our authentic selves as well as with others. And it definitely means that the true self shows up during the process. I found out that my ex-husband really wasn't the good father that I imagined he was. He found out that I was a lot stronger than he suspected. And I found out that I was also a lot stronger than I knew. I still believe that marriage is a good thing. We are social animals, and in many ways, we are designed to be partnered. It takes fortitude and patience and a good sense of humor to be married. It takes dedication, compassion and good communication. When those elements are missing, the marriage cannot last. But I can tell you, being divorced is not the end of the world. Sometimes, it can be the beginning. Ellen SantistevanLos LunasOWS talking about real problemsEditor: October was a difficult month for folks in deep denial, particularly those who deny climate-change science and economic reality.The far-right Koch brothers, fossil fuel billionaires, helped fund a new study intended to prove that the world's climate scientists were dishonest frauds guilty of sloppy research. Their new team started from scratch, collecting more than 1.6 billion temperature records. They labored mightily, but their results exactly match what NASA, NOAA and England's Hadley Center have been saying for years. The Earth is heating up at an abnormal pace, and the temperature spike matches the spike in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by burning fossil fuels. But the Kochs' propaganda arm, Americans for Prosperity, is still pouring big bucks into ads pooh-poohing climate science.Bill Clinton nailed the problem in a recent speech when he said, "Climate-change deniers make Americans look like a joke."Economic deniers had a bad month, too. When tax experts looked at Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan, they found that it worked about like every other GOP "magic tax plan." According to the bipartisan Tax Policy Center, Cain's plan would give millionaires an average tax cut of $487,300. The other 83.7 percent of us would get a tax increase.The Occupy Wall Street movement has become the worst nightmare of the economic deniers. The deniers try to label protestors as lazy hippies, but the OWS just keeps talking about real problems that cause real pain for real people. No one speaks for the whole movement, but much of the protest is aimed at the way our political system since 1980 has funneled power and money away from "the 99 percent" and into the pockets of conglomerates and wealthy individuals. The financial manipulations have been endless and mostly ignored by the media.Deals such as George W. Bush's 2008 TARP bailout used our tax money to pay off the debts of financial institutes deemed "too big to fail." They got to keep their profits while we got cuts in essential services. The average 2010 salary of a U.S. CEO at an S&P 500 company was $11,358,445 dollars not counting stock options, about 343 times the pay of the typical worker. And that's just the tip of the rip-off iceberg.At the same time, the system has steadily chipped away at the security of workers, going after pensions and benefits, busting unions, and attacking the minimum wage, even though it's lower in real terms than it was in the 1960s.The attacks continue. In the Citizens United decision, the GOP majority on the Supreme Court gave corporations the rights of citizens but not the responsibilities. And GOP members of the 12-person "super committee" currently negotiating budget cuts want to trade a sprinkling of tax loopholes in return for doing away with the top income tax bracket completely. Gee, I wonder if the 200 corporate lobbyists bending the ears of the committee members had anything to do with that.Laura SanchezLos Lunas

Thanks to the internet, there are thousands of free resources available to teachers. It can often be overwhelming to determine which resources can be beneficial in your classroom. Help Teaching has listed the Top 100 Free Education Sites. According to the website, these sites will help to engage students and improve learning in the classroom. Best of all, they're free! I took some time to explore the sites. Here are my favorites:
1.The Learning Network provides teaching and learning materials and ideas based on New York Times articles. Teachers can use or adapt their lessons across subject areas and levels or contribute their own ideas. Students can respond to Opinion Questions, take News Quizzes, learn about what happened on this day in history, answer "6 Questions About the News", and speculate on "What's Going on in this Picture?", and so much more! It is important that students know what is going on in the world around them. This site can help them to learn about current events in a fun and age-appropriate way!
2. Education World claims to be "the educator's best friend". It is jam packed full of great resources including lesson plans, articles, printables, and so much more! From what I can see, this site lives up to its claim. If your stumped on a lesson or just want to browse through some ideas, I encourage you to take a look at this site!
I plan to use these sites and the other sites on the list to improve my teaching and engage my future students. I am glad that I had the opportunity to learn about so many great resources this semester! They will be a huge help to me as I continue on in the education program and begin my career as a classroom teacher!
