Novus ClinicRead MoreVoted No. 1 from 2209-2013 by the readers of the Akron Beacon Journal, Novus Clinic was born 20 years prior from board-certified ophthalmologist Todd L. Beyer and optometrist Jerry Sude's vision for a one-stop eye-care facility. To bring this idea to fruition, they first recruited a neuro-ophthalmologist and a second optometrist to their team and eventually constructed a 3,800-square-foot surgery center in 1998. The state-of-the-art center was built in response to the voices they heard asking for laser vision-correction procedures such as LASIK and cosmetic treatments. Dr. Beyer, also a certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, began performing face-lifts along with noninvasive skin treatments after he found himself fielding queries from more and more patients about dermal fillers, peels, and laser hair removal. With the expanding list of offered services, the clinic shed its original title, System Optics, and was reknighted Novus Clinic in 2003. The word novus, which translates to "fresh and exciting" in Latin, more accurately encompasses the clinic's multifaceted approach to ocular and anti-aging treatments. The doctors never forget the primordial soup from which they sprang, though, and still conduct eye exams and keep a venerable inventory of designer frames.3510 Manchester RdAkron, OH US

Pretty fast. Too fat.5/23/2011
They claim "up to 200x" speed, which would be 30 MB/sec. The actual write speed I see is about 13 MB/sec (87x). And, this gets a lot slower if writing many small files. The read speed is actually about 30 MB/sec. Both of these speeds are significantly faster than most USB flash drives, but not as fast as they imply. -------------------(new paragraph)------------------- The drive has a rubber housing that looks and feels pretty cool, but it makes it too fat to plug in next to anything else without torquing the USB connector. I removed the housing, but then the plastic was pretty flimsy (which I fixed with superglue).1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Today I celebrate one year since I launched Mondomulia and published my first blog post. I wanted to create a personal space to share my photos of food and restaurants, share my recipes and my reviews. I didn't know how to do it, but as the months passed, I found my own voice and photographic style.
Mondomulia has given me many opportunities. I have attended food and bloggers' events, discovered a new community of people with whom I share the same passions. Thanks to Mondomulia, I have met great people from all nationalities that I have become friends with. I have worked as a food photographer for different clients, something I would have never dreamed of one year ago.
Most of all, the blog has changed the way I see myself. I no longer feel defined by my full-tim profession (account manager); instead I present myself as "Giulia, the food blogger and photographer".
I feel accomplished, driven and happy; every day I put all my energies and time into making Mondomulia better everyday and I feel proud to see that the hard work pays off.
I have an announcement to make: Mondomulia has moved to a new blogging platform, from WordPress to Overblog. The layout hasn't changed, but you will notice small differences in the comments' section or typeface. The URL also remains the same: www.mondomulia.com
A special thank you to Paolo Mulè and the Overblog team for re-creating Mondomulia.
To celebrate Mondomulia's first birthday, I have baked a special Chocolate Cake. The recipe is from one of my best friend's mum and we call it Torta di Sara Peri. She used to make this cake every year for my friend's birthday, so eating it brings me back to my high school years in Rome.
It's a cake that reminds me of home and family traditions, of passions that remain strong throughtout the years and simple ingredients that are mixed together to create something amazing and special.
Open the eggs and weight them on a kitchen scale. All other ingredients, except the baking powder, should weight the same as the eggs. To make the small chocolate cake loak of the pictures, I used three medium eggs weighting 125g, so these are the doses that I have share with you.
* 3 medium free range eggs
* 125g caster sugar
* 125g plain flour
* 125g butter, melted
* 125g milk or dark chocolate
* 16g baking powder (I used Lievito Pane degli Angeli)
Pre-heat the over to 180°C. Melt the chocolate bar in bain-marie then let it cool down.
Mix the eggs with the sugar using an electric whisk. After you have made the cream, add the melted butter, flour and baking powder.
Finally, add the chocolate and stir. Pour the cake mix into a loaf tin or a small cake tin.
Cook in the oven for about 30-35 minutes; use a tooth-stick to check if the cake is well cooked. Let the chocolate cake cool down in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack.

We are Videoboys, makers of gay porn, directly from Montreal. Our movies feature sexy young guys like Pierre Fitch in high quality movies.
Ashton Hardwell has a lot experience making gay porn scenes, and significantly more experience with gay sex off cam. So when Ashton says that this scene is the most turned on he's been in years we think that's worth noting. Maybe it's the idea of corrupting a str8 boy or maybe it's just because Justin Lebeau is so damn cute. But what ever it was, this scene just sizzles with intensity.
Almost every porn video these days makes some claim about showing an authentic str8 guy the joys of gay sex. And it's pretty clear that in most cases it's obviously a big act. But let me assure you this scene is NO act. Justin Lebeau has been exclusively for the ladies up until a few weeks ago when, in a moment of drunken weakness, he let a gay boy give him a blow job at a party. And to his surprise, he found that it wasn't as bad as he thought. In fact, he call us up to say he was ready to try a blow job scene. And WOW did he impress us.
We asked him, "Can you kiss a guy?"

I liked Donut Plant in Manhattan. But when I went here, GOOD GRIEF! I have only tried three of the flavors, but the donuts are very big, very flavorful, and the price is reasonable. I understand that everything is natural. There is always a line out the door. Since they do so much volume, they are baking all day long and nothing gets stale. It is just a hole in the wall, a small place with few stools along the front I think. So plan on taking these donuts with you. Wholefoods in Brooklyn sells their donuts too, but they are not as fresh.
Posted by sprung on food on 02/13/2014
I went to Dough in Bed-Sty in Brooklyn. They're hand making all of their doughnuts and glazes, and have glass windows at their kitchen so you can watch them craft everything right there. These are some serious doughnuts, definitely larger than most, so, you won't leave hungry. Dulce De Leche is the one to try.
Posted by Jen on 12/21/2013
These are the best donuts I've ever had. I've been here many times. On my first visit, I couldn't believe how the dough almost melts in your mouth. As soon as you walk in it smells like heaven. There is such a wide variety of flavored glazes available. Many flavors I've never heard of on a donut. I must mention that these donuts are huge. My favorite flavors are: plain glazed, toasted coconut, chocolate nibs, cinnamon sugar, cafe au laut, and Nutella stuffed. I couldn't work in this place, I'd get diabetes!

Just finished rereading both of my Heiro books. Forgot how good they were. How come Lanier never wrote the third book. Just think of Hiero leading the whole catclan along with the bears and his moose riding army to D'alwah to take back thier kingdom. what a book that would make. DKW

I read this book for the first time when I was a teenager. I loved it. I had read it several times before stumbling across Unforsaken Hiero. I was thrilled. I searched in vain for a third book, but to the best of my knowledge none has been produced. Too bad, I absolutely loved the premise, setting and creatures of the Hiero series.

I am also a Heiro fan having read the first two books over 20 years ago and have just re-read them. I am also suprised that publishers don't understand the gold mine from some of the older writers who have written some great si/fi/fantasy in the past. A new writer, e.e. Knight (vampire series) has some great simalarities to the Heiro books in writing style. What surprises me the most is that 2004/2005 will most likley some day be known as the years of the fantasy as There are so many hard back books coming out soon or recently came out including R. Jordan, GRR Martin, D. Gemmel, R. Feist, K. Kerr, Tad Wiliams, Greg Keyes, Terry Brooks and Steven Erikson, etc. Attention Publishers F a n t a s y m a k e s $ Besides Lanier some other Authors who I would love to see finish their worlds (i.e. should comtinue writing) are Gene Lancour (Dirshan), Mark Perry (morigu), Roland Green (wandor - fifth book) ,Paul Zimmer (who has passed but whom was claimed to have finished one last book in his series. He also has a series of short stories about his creation that should be published just like Night Shade books did for Wagner's Kane series). Why arn't publishers realizing that there are great writers from the 70,80,90's who could be bringing revenue. The Tolkien movies and Harry Potter have created a whole new generation of fantasy readers who are spending money on these types of books. Plus, some of us (readers) in our 40's & 50's who have some disposable income, can afford the hardback books. We grew up with some of these writers and would love to see more books by them. Anyway I hope that some publisher convinces Lanier to put out his third book of Heiro. It would help if the publishers also printed some of the earlier works of Lanier, Zimmer, Lancour, Green and Perry This is as good of Fantisy as anything out there today (in my opinon).

There is no third volume yet. The prospects for one seem dim...see previous posts on this subject.

Has the author ever written or intends to write the third Volume in the Hieros journey series?

Yes, I have both books for sale. "The Peculiar Exploits of Brigadier Ffellowes" book that I've was printed in 1977 in Great Britain by Sidgwick & Jackson Limited. It has 159 pages, is in mint condition, and has the following stories: "The Kings of the Sea", "Fraternity Brother", "The Leftovers", "Soldier Key", "A Feminine Jurisdication", "His Only Safari" and "His Coat So Gay". "The Curious Quests of Brigadier Ffellowes" is a mint condition, first edition of ONLY 1200 copies, SIGNED book by Sterling Lanier and the artist, Ned Dameron. It was printed in 1986 in the USA. This 254 page book has great illustrations, an introduction by the publisher, Donald M. Grant, and a fore/thought/word by Sterling Lanier himself, and has the following stories: "Ghost of a Crown", "And the Voice of the Turtle", "A Father's Tale", "Commander in the Mist", "Thinking the Unthinkable", "The Brigadier in Check -- and Mate" Regarding my prices for these books, I respectfully suggest that a proper internet search (This site prevents me from mentioning the most successfull search engine but it rhymes with "doodle") will provide you an idea of their value. With that being said, I'm willing to listen to (a) reasonable offer(s). Thank you for your interest!

You mentioned having both of the Ffellowes books for sale...do you still have them?
posts on 1/28/2005 2:48:52 AM
Thanks, BJS. I'm intrigued that the second Fellowes book is as recent as 10 years old. I always thought Unforsaken Hiero was S. Lanier's last published work.

War for the lot is about a number of animals getting together with a child and defeating the evil rats which wish to take over the wood known as the Lot as their rubbish dump is being invaded. IMHO The Brigadier books are worth checking out - about a chap who goes on various quests to various places, solving problems. The 2nd one is comparitively recent, written ten or so years ago.
posts a message on 1/24/2005 1:06:19 PM
What's "The War For The Lot" about? Are the Brigadier Fellowes books worth checking out? They were both written before Hiero, right? Thanks in advance.

As Barbara Peters was saying, yes, it's quieter around the house now. Her children are grown, as have those of their longtime San Diego neighbors. But back in the day, there were times when the kid next door would try to circumvent the tangerine or lemon tree in his backyard and one of his practice swings went awry and an unguided missile didn't quite land softly, or upon yonder putting green.
"It's not like it happened often," she recalls, "but when it did, even if you didn't hear the crash, you saw the evidence on the floor of our den. A golf ball."
"Mrs. Peters would then phone and ask for my mother," confirms Phil Mickelson. "I would ask whether everything was OK, and Mrs. Peters would ask for my mother again. (Pause.) It seemed like it took me forever to pay for those windows."
Little did Barbara Peters, or her husband, Dr. John the obstetrician, realize then that the baby boy he delivered in 1970 would become rich and famous at this vocation. But Mickelson knew, probably even before he could verbalize his passion, and with the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines next week, the popular left-hander to whom every tournament seems like a home game can't wait for a chance, on his old stomping grounds, to seize his first national championship.
"I'm really excited to see it in Southern California," says Mickelson, "and I'm really glad that it will be on weekend prime-time television on the East Coast. It's scheduled to finish at 10 p.m. Sunday, right? That's great for the sport."
He doesn't miss much, in case you hadn't noticed. For a recent interview, this unthinking reporter showed up in a shirt bearing the logo from Winged Foot, 2006. "You had to have that on to talk to me, didn't you?" Mickleson jabbed playfully. "You didn't have anything else to wear? One of the biggest screw-ups in my career, and you've got to remind me." Mickelson is a different player now than then. Yet on the enthusiasm meter, he is only an adult version of the tyke who got hooked on golf before he could walk. "He's still Philip to me, because Phil is his dad," says mother Mary. "Anyway, late afternoon was fussy time for Philip when he was still crawling. So while I cooked dinner, Phil took Philip outside to keep an eye on him. Phil would putt or chip, and Philip would watch."
But not for long. Soon the son had to participate, and even after he was set-up by his right-handed father, Philip would swivel around to the left, completing the mirror image burnished in his fertile young mind. "Rather than change him because the mechanics of his swing were so sound," says Dad, "I took his club to my tool shop and turned it into a left-handed club."'I was no country club kid. We never lacked for anything, but it wasn't silver spoon, either.'
--Phil Mickelson
By 3�, Philip was too far gone. He begged in vain to join Dad at a real course, so Philip, not surprisingly, took matters into his own hands. "I packed my Flopsy stuffed animal and a bunch of balls into a suitcase, put my clubs over my shoulder and 'ran away' from home," he says. "I asked another neighbor directions to the first tee and she told me to take four lefts. That brought me back home, where my parents were waiting."
Impressed, dad brought his son to Balboa Park, where the starter reluctantly sanctioned an ecletic foursome that included Phil's grandfather on Mary's side, Al Santos. "Phil hit the ball, ran after it, and hit it again," says Dad. "He didn't slow up at all until the 18th hole, which he suddenly didn't want to play. I thought he was finally tired. No, the reason was Phil knew, if we played the 18th hole, it was over. No more golf for the day."
Phil the father eventually upgraded and that makeshift practice area became manicured with a bunker, shrubbery and assorted other hazards. Philip pounced on it, but the parents who at first slipped him a quarter for every chip-in had to lower the stakes to dimes, then nickels. By age 8, Philip took a job at Navajo Canyon, gathering range balls in exchange for playing privileges. Then, armed with his first set of real clubs -- a reward, after he won his first trophy -- Philip moved on to Stardust, where his Dad took out a membership. "I worked there, too," says Philip. "I was no country club kid. We never lacked for anything, but it wasn't silver spoon, either."
