I used this as a background for our store display wall. People would walk up and touch it. It really made our products pop. Total holiday feel. The silver metallic is on the light blue iridescent side which makes it easier to look at then super foil like. When you cut the panels they slide into one another so it's a seamless background. this was REALLY helpful. It was stapled up on a wall and we had to be careful when taking it down so we could reuse it. It tore in a couple places but you can't really tell so yes we will use it again!

Having one in place isn't enough-it must be followed BY LAWRENCE A. FOGEL AND JOSEPH M. WATT
When it comes to regulatory compliance, some organizations say one thing and do another-and end up wishing they hadn't
BY LAWRENCE A. FOGEL AND JOSEPH M. WATT Let's start with the following true-or-false statement: "The mere existence of a regulatory compliance plan does not provide an organization with any assurance that its compliance program is effective." The answer: true. In fact, a poorly written compliance plan is probably more damaging than having no compliance plan at all. Why? An organization makes commitments and promises in its compliance plan that it is expected to fulfill. These commitments may establish even higher standards, and they are expected to be met. If it appears an organization is not serious about its compliance program, government and private agencies will have serious doubts about its credibility and integrity.
Consider this hypothetical: The typical compliance plan states that it will be reviewed and revised annually-but your compliance plan hasn't been modified in the five years since it was written. What message does that send?
The Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General (OIG) published the "OIG Compliance Program Guidance for Clinical Laboratories" on March 3, 1997, in the Federal Register. Since then, OIG has published a series of compliance program guidances for other healthcare organizations. These guidances explain to the healthcare industry the OIG's expectations of compliance programs. The OIG's principal guidance is based on the seven elements of The Federal Sentencing Guidelines Manual. Compliance programs must satisfactorily address these seven elements, at a minimum:
1. Compliance Officer and Committee
Some organizations either have no job descriptions for the compliance officer and committee, or the job descriptions are ambiguous and inaccurate. If the compliance officer, for example, does not have a job description, how can his or her performance be evaluated?
In addition, what if the job description for the compliance officer does not correspond with the duties contained in the compliance plan? In some situations, the compliance officer's job description is all-inclusive when, in fact, the compliance officer does not perform all of the listed duties. Often, the compliance officer is too busy with other job responsibilities to effectively manage the compliance program. The same ambiguity applies to the compliance committee. Members of compliance committees sometimes say that they don't know what their specific functions are or what is expected of them. Government agencies are not sympathetic, however. If an organization has a compliance program, it is expected to devote the necessary resources and time to make it effective.
Another common issue is the frequency of compliance committee meetings. Usually, the compliance plan will specify how often the meetings are to be conducted. Although the compliance plan might specify that meetings are to be held monthly, perhaps the compliance committee has met only four times during the last 12 months. Again, what message does this send, not only to the outside world, but also to the compliance committee members themselves?
Let's go one step further and assume that the committee did not keep minutes, or that the minutes were maintained in a very sketchy format. How can anyone know what progress was made during the compliance committee meetings? Sometimes the meetings are, indeed, unproductive and stagnant; committee members say that they spin their wheels and don't make any progress because they discuss the same issues over and over. This sort of performance raises questions about the seriousness of the committee's efforts and the effectiveness of the compliance officer. Too often, organizations do not evaluate the compliance officer or the committee members on their performance.
Generally, compliance plans require periodic reporting to the board of directors; however, in many cases there is no evidence that such reports have been made.
2. Standards of Conduct/Policies and Procedures
A compliance plan should either include the organization's standards of conduct, or these standards of conduct should be issued as a separate document. Regardless, they should be clearly written and disseminated to all employees and other affected persons. This, however, does not always occur. Often, people are confused in distinguishing between the compliance plan and the standards of conduct. Many employees mistakenly believe the standards of conduct are the organization's compliance plan. Every employee and other affected person should sign an acknowledgment form that they have received and read the standards of conduct, as well as the compliance plan.
Organizations should be careful that the standards of conduct do not conflict with other policies. For example, the standards of conduct may say one thing and administrative or personnel policies may say something totally different, which can pose serious problems.
Policies and procedures also should be written and current. If policies and procedures are not presented in written format, employees may allege that they were told to do something by their supervisors that cannot be supported by written policies and procedures. Written policies and procedures provide clear guidance to employees, especially when new employees are hired. Policies and procedures should be updated regularly and accurately reflect the manner in which each department operates.

Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Blush Review & Swatches
As you know Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Blush and Sexy Glow Glossy Stains have recently launched in drugstores for Spring 2013.
I think Physicians Formula went out of their way with this collection. The packaging and design are darling. As a makeup lover I admit I put heavy importance on packaging. These darling powder blushes feature a cute little stiletto design.
I just wish the formula was as lovely!

Dear LJR experts,
I have a funny problem with my computer. I started to notice that my clock and date settings were getting out of whack about 6 months ago. Also when I start up my computer, before LILO kicks in, sometimes it will stop, and there is a message telling me that my battery is low. I have to go into the BIOS setup and manually reset my CPU speeds, etc., because the settings have somehow changed.
I really don't know much about hardware, in fact I don't know where the batterry is located, and so I was hoping to get some ideas on what to do. I have a rather old computer with a PC100 system board that uses Sis 530 super7 chipset. It has a built-in hardware monitor circuit, and a 200W power supply (I can"t remember if it is AT or ATX, but I know that it is the older of the two) . Any suggestions would be most kindly appreciated!
Super Cheers,

Pope Francis has been swiftly branded anti-capitalist, Marxist and even Communist, just for pointing out that people should not worship money, corruption should not be tolerated, and that our global economic system should create more jobs for people who don't have them.
"This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope," railed Rush Limbaugh after the pope released his first Apostolic Exhortation last week.
The talk radio blowhard was hardly alone.
• "Is he el papa del comunismo?" reads a piece on Gawker.com, headlined, "Top 'Screw Capitalism' Lines" in Pope Francis' New Message." (Never mind that the pope didn't say "screw capitalism," or anything resembling it.)
• "The Pope's Self-Defeating Anti-Capitalistic Rant," reads an unreasonable headline on Reason.com. "He shouldn't bite the hand that feeds the church."
• "A salvo against global capitalism," reads an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.
• "The pope has officially declared a new enemy," claims a piece on The Atlantic magazine's website.
So now even the pope is an enemy combatant?
Perhaps the most audacious thing the pope suggested in his treatise was that "trickle-down economics" wasn't trickling down to everyone. But you hardly need papal authority to point out that unemployment rates are excessively high and that the gap between rich and poor is historically very wide.
You also don't need a direct line to God to observe that too-big-to-fail banks, and many large corporations, hold disproportionate sway over the world's governments and can craft rules and tap treasuries to suit themselves.
Nor does one need a pointy hat to denounce "widespread corruption" when key facets of the so-called "free-market" have been illegally manipulated, from energy prices to LIBOR, the global interest rates that affect the price of almost everything.
In his exhortation, the pope is merely pointing out that "free markets" should not be so free as to corrupt themselves and all humanity.
Opinion: Pope Francis's Attack on Capitalism
Acton Institute Research Director Samuel Gregg on the Pope's recently released Evangelii Gaudium and its criticism of free-market philosophies. Photo: Getty Images
Nowhere in the pope's message does he say he wants to replace capitalism with something else. He didn't even use the word "capitalism" once in his exhortation. But some people can't handle a single stitch of criticism when it comes to that abstraction in their heads they call capitalism.
I became a business writer because I love capitalism, just as sports writers love sports and theater critics love the performing arts. None of these subjects, however, are without their controversies.

Motorsports: SuperBike races return to Utah
The AMA Pro Road Racing series makes its third annual stop in Utah this weekend at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele.
All four classes of motorcycles will race, including the top National Guard SuperBike series on both Saturday and Sunday.
Three-time defending National Guard SuperBike champion Josh Hayes, atop the standings with 223 points after winning six of the last seven events, will look to extend his lead over Josh Herrin, last season's rookie of the year who sits just 11 points back. Both riders race for the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha team. Colombian Martin Cardenas, in third place with 207 points, is the only other racer who poses a threat to Hayes' bid for a fourth straight championship.
This weekend's events at Miller Motorsports Park constitute the sixth round of racing for the season, with just two more rounds to be raced after this weekend before the World Championships in Monterey, Calif., in September.
The top three series the National Guard SuperBike, GoPro Daytona SportBike and Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport will each race on both Saturday and Sunday. The Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson series will race on Sunday only.
The Miller Motorsports Park track features a road course that is just over 3 miles long, with a straightaway where the National Guard SuperBikes can reach speeds of up to 190 mph. The National Guard SuperBike and GoPro Daytona SportBike races will feature 16 laps, while the Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport races is 13 laps. The Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson race will have eight laps.
Practice races and qualifying are set for Friday. Admission is free on Friday. Practices start at 11 a.m., and qualifying begins at 2 p.m.
On Saturday at noon and Sunday at 11:15 a.m., fans are invited to spend 45 minutes on pit lane, where they can meet riders, collect autographs, take pictures and see the motorcycles up close.
There will also be a stunt rider in the paddocks, as well as go-cart racing and a zip line available to fans.

I am looking for a sample ultra light gear list for a canoe trip. We are doing a 12 day canoe trip and I want to be as light weight as we can because there are 6 of us and we have to do some portages!
When I paddle, it is the same as for UL backpacking (with extra attention paid to waterproofing) plus paddle specific gear. I bring my same bakpack and either cover it with a trash compacter bag or line it with one. Alternatively you could line it with a POE Pneumo LTW Dry Sack. I also have been taking an armless chair similar to the standard steel legged chairs but with no armrests. So, pick any list on the gearlist forums or in the articles. Water temps need to be considered for safety.
Edited by jshann on 03/03/2007 11:14:31 MST.
Do you have a light weight paddle? Wood burning stoves are ideal for canoe camping. There are featherlight options. Check them out in "Reader Reviews". For choices of Dry Sacks, Carol Crooker reviews several models in "SpotLites". Look for a large lightweight tarp. Even if you do not sleep under a tarp, they are great to set up either for shade or to cook and stand under at your campsite in the rain. It can also be used to cover your gear in your boat. One advantage to packing gear into garbage bags is that they will float if you tie them closed. Then again, maybe you are not planning on flipping over. Granite Gear has waterproof bags, portage bags, and other canoe accessories.http://www.granitegear.com/products/canoe_gear/portagepacks/index.htmlAnother article with ideas for keeping gear dry with reviews of bags:http://jwbasecamp.com/Articles/DryGear/index.html
Edited by rambler on 04/04/2007 09:00:17 MDT.
Christie,I,m curious about where/when you're tripping, or what kind of conditions you expect.Are you planning to organize food and shelter for the group individually, by pair, en mass? Six makes for a number of possibilities!What kind of portaging do you anticipate?
Go with Cooke Custom Sewing for your packs and then just use the lightest gear you can find. If you are doing either Quietico or the BWCA a tent is a must. You alsoshould bring a tarp for either of those areas. Use gearwhere you can put gear for two people in a pack. It also helps if the person who carries the canoe can also carry a pack at the same time. I go up to the BWCA twice a year and we always single portage. The thing to remember is thateven though you have quite a few portages you will usuallybe paddling. If you want contact me and we can talk.

While muffins can be filled with butter and calories, they don't always have to be! Sarah Carey lightens up her blueberry muffins with apple sauce, which manages to add a little bit of sweetness and a lot of moisture. Carey also uses low fat buttermilk and a lot less oil than is typically called for in most muffin recipes. All you need for this recipe is baking mix, sugar, unsweetened applesauce, low fat buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, safflower or vegetable oil and blueberries.
The best part about these muffins is that they are very kid-friendly. They're the perfect way to introduce kids to baking. In a world that promotes so much junk food, it's important for kids to learn all about cooking. If baking is how to get them interested in the culinary world, so be it! All of the ingredients are easy for the kids to toss into a bowl. Carey also uses an ice cream scooper to ensure that an even amount of batter goes into each muffin tin, which is a fun touch for kids! Just make sure to keep the kids away from the hot oven, the only part of this recipe that is not kid-friendly.

In response to Tom Harris, a strong advocate for common sense on climate issues, who rejects warmer crazies, here's Gordon Folks, PhD Physics of Oregon.
I would second Gordon's points and expand–sure the Coal industry has to object to the bad science on climate–but how about the bad science on air pollution generally?
The warming scare is based on a very unscientific modeling and projections that the models will produce warming that will be catastrophic. Every element of that tenuous thread of argumentation is vulnerable to good scientific inquiry.
The epidemiology and toxicology of the air pollution science house of cards relied on by the EPA is equally vulnerable to scientific inquiries, since no one dies from ambient air pollution of even severe levels. We have allowed the EPA to make an aesthetic standard into a safety standard–clean air is not what the statute was intended to provide–safe air.
Now standards for air quality are aesthetic and not related at all to safety. Air pollution kills no one the way the EPA claims–and they claim a lot–hundreds of thousands of deaths a year in the US. Nonsense. Read Milloy and Dunn rebuttals on air pollution epidemiological junk science sponsored by the EPA:
So here's Gordon, responding to Tom Harris, who with Tim Ball writes often to warn about warmer nuttiness.
Tom Harris is, of course, correct that the United Mine workers should dismiss the climate scare as completely unfounded and avoid merely complaining that it is hurting their members. That would put them in a far stronger position than does the complaining. Narrow political calculations where they support climate hysteria on the one hand and lament it for all the damage it does on the other are especially foolish.
But the problem of narrow political (and economic) calculations causing great harm goes much farther. We see it a thousand times over in our economy, where everyone making money off the scam is overjoyed with it and most who are not easily see through it. There are others who see the politics as overwhelmingly favorable, because they can finally call all who disagree with them (like Republicans) 'Flat-Earthers' or worse.
How much better it would be for all who think that we ought to do the right thing to support the truth. And the truth would not be something that President Obama declares to be the truth but what the scientific logic and robust evidence support. That is not hard to determine, because the Obama Administration has spelled out their 'Three Lines of Evidence' scientific arguments at both the EPA and in their latest National Climate Assessment.
If they are correct that their climate models can accurately predict the future and it looks catastrophic, then perhaps the United Mine Workers need to support the science and help us switch to nuclear power. If the climate models are monumental failures, then the United Mine Workers should still support the truth that the government's science is very faulty and coal presents no danger to our climate.
One easy way to understand the truth about the climate models is to ask if they correctly predicted the 17 year cessation of warming that all the major climate data sets (satellite and surface) have shown. The answer is clear: none of them did. Since this is a fatal flaw (an Achilles Heel) for the government's case, coal CANNOT be the problem that climate alarmists claim.
The United Mine Workers then have a far stronger case, and we are back on track making objective decisions devoid of politics. All American workers benefit and so do our country and our Canadian friends.
Here is a reference that looks at the government's 'Three Lines of Evidence' in much more detail and points out the fatal flaws:

Snowden's father criticizes Congress, Obama over spy programs

The father of fugitive U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden on Friday criticized Congress for failing to rein in a sweeping surveillance program made public by his son and accused the Obama administration of pursuing him with a "zeal to punish."
Lonnie Snowden has not had direct communication with his son since he fled to Hong Kong and then Russia, but sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Friday defending his son's actions as similar to acts of civil disobedience.
"We thus find your administration's zeal to punish Mr. Snowden's discharge of civic duty to protect democratic processes and to safeguard liberty to be unconscionable and indefensible," the letter to Obama said.

The most notable returner for the Bucs is senior wing Alex Eidson, who led the team in scoring as a junior at nearly 14 points per game. Eidson is a deadly 3-point shooter who showed improved moves to the basket as the season went on. He had a fantastic fall on the Grand Haven varsity football team, earning first-team all O-K Red Conference honors as a kicker. Eidson was also fantastic as a wide receiver until a separated shoulder ended his season. He's still recovering from that shoulder injury but should be close to full strength when the season tips off tonight. Others who contributed off the bench a year ago include Jeremy Lattig, Danny Cotter, Matt Kroll, Brent Boerma and Mac Carter.2. Who are some newcomers who could make their mark this winter?
Sean Steffel, a junior, could work his way into a starting spot at the point guard position for Grand Haven. He's a solid outside shooter who can also use his quickness to get to the basket. Ethan Groothuis is a strong shooter while Kevin LaCroix, despite standing just 5-11, is a relentless rebounder who could be a game-changer because of his effort and determination. Mackenzie Carter was pulled up to the varsity squad late in his sophomore season and contributed immediately. He could be a physical presence that the Buccaneers are looking for as they lack true post players.3. With so many newcomers to the party, can Grand Haven come close to last season's total of 14 victories?
Playing against a difficult schedule with a very young, inexperienced team, coach Steve Hewitt would be thrilled to get 14 wins out of this team. A .500 record looks to be an attainable goal, and anything beyond that would be icing on the cake for this team.

NIAGARA FALLS, NY- The Niagara Falls mayor has already pushed back the release of his budget once, and now it's possible he may do it again.
Mayor Paul Dyster was supposed to present his budget to the City Council by the beginning of the month. At that time, he announced his "disaster" budget was not ready, and he would try to have it completed by the next meeting October 15th. He said he'd rather give the City Council a stronger budget a little bit late, than a weaker one on time.
Tuesday, Dyster said he's not sure if the budget will be ready by that time either. He wouldn't release details of the budget before he presents it to the council members.
The Mayor asked for an extension because he says there is a huge gap caused by the $60 million dollars in casino revenue that's being withheld because of the Seneca Nation's dispute with New York State. The dispute is rooted in what the Senecas claim are violations of its gaming compact with the state to operate casinos exclusively in Western New York.

This is something we've never heard of before: a model was airbrushed to appear heavier for the cover of Healthy magazine, a British publication that celebrates "health and wellbeing." Apparently, in order to continue their message of healthiness, editor in chief Jane Druker demanded about 7 extra pounds be digitally put on the model's tiny frame.
Kamilla Wladyka was hired to be Healthy's April cover girl, but showed up to the shoot looking "really thin and unwell," according to Druker.
"There were plenty of clothes that we couldn't put on her because her bones stuck out too much…That's not a reflection of what we do in our magazine, which is about good health," Druker told the DailyMail.
For a magazine titled Healthy, we do appreciate that they felt disinclined to use an image of an underweight model on their cover. But wait…come to think of it, they did still use her. Don't you think a better option would have been to send the model home and hire a new one?
Truth be told, the debate on photoshopping models goes both ways, even if we've never had to think about it in the past. Make them smaller, make them bigger — either way we're presenting a false image to the public on what these women look like. Reality check, Ms. Druker: You've only furthered this model's ability to keep up her unhealthy weight.

On Friday night The Wife and I took The Rooster to Le Cordon Bleu's recently revamped culinary school restaurant, Technique. Back in the fall of 2009 we had visited their previous restaurant known as The Minnesota Room, located across the street, for lunch and enjoyed it so we were looking forward to trying the new place for dinner.
We had reservations for 5:30 and arrived just a few minutes after. We were the first people in the restaurant and our table was ready with a highchair. The new restaurant is far more beautiful than their old space and provides near panoramic views of the kitchen as the students prepare the meals. While we were expecting to choose from a variety of options from their menu to meet either three courses ($10) or four ($15), when we arrived we were presented with a seven-course menu for $15 instead which did not include all of the options we saw on their online menu. Even so the tasting menu looked good and we weren't in much of a position to complain at $15/person.
I generally don't see much value in what I like to call "the flatbread craze". They're items which appear on so many restaurant menus, so often, that my eyes glaze over when I see them. If this little flatbread hadn't been part of the menu I certainly would not have ordered it. When it was finally delivered to our table I was honestly a little taken back by just how small of a portion it was.
A 1/4 of a mouthful which was more cracker and garlic than chicken, bacon, onion or peppers, this one was a total miss for me. While piquillo peppers (they misspelled them on the menu) have no real heat as they're about ~100 or less on the Scoville scale, just above bell peppers and far below the 2500 – 5000 of a jalapeno, they do have a nice flavor which, along with everything else, was completely dominated by the garlic. It took a couple of swigs of water to wash the taste out of my mouth and being that I'm a huge garlic fan I'm guessing that for the average person this would have been nearly disgusting and if the portion had been any larger people would have been leaking garlic out of their pores the next morning in the shower.
The second course was an appropriately sized salad which claimed to include a base of "seasonal greens", a hilarious misnomer for January in Minnesota. Even so the salad itself was refreshing and light. The apple chips were crunchy and I far preferred them to what most salads include–croutons–to gain the same effect. The entire thing worked very well and reminded me of many of the summer salads I've had over the years and I was almost transported to a locale which was not -10F with a light dusting of snow.
I was looking forward to the soup course as I haven't had a true consomme in years and I assumed that a culinary school which carries the Cordon Bleu trademark would work diligently with their students to create one properly. Unfortunately even if the broth had been created with painstaking care it was impossible to tell as the vegetables stuffed in it, instead of accompanying it, overpowered the entire thing. The Wife didn't care for this one at all and let me finish hers as well. It was a fine beef broth soup with vegetables but it certainly wasn't a consomme. Bummer.
The first of the actual protein courses, I was quite excited to try the salmon. This dish would not have been one I would have selected as I prefer to keep my meals to steaks when presented with a reasonably priced opportunity to do so. The salmon itself was nicely cooked but I would have preferred a little more searing on the edges instead of a lump of soft flesh. What was missed on the fish itself was made up for in the crispy asparagus tips. The pea puree and dill butter sauces were both quite mild and did not take anything away at all from the star of the dish. While the menu promised baby red potatoes we received only a single red potato crisp adorning the top of the dish. Either they were playfully experimenting or simply forgot but I believe it worked just as well without the starch.
The fifth course was a beautifully presented pork loin with a fruit salsa over pasta. The pork loin had been rolled in an extremely spicy dry rub and while it was even hot for me and The Wife couldn't tolerate it at all, I found that it was quite nice especially when coupled with the sweet fruit salsa. I'm really unsure of the point of the tasteless and limp parpadelle underneath and I wasn't really a fan of the slightly dry and overcooked pork but I gobbled mine and The Wife's up without much complaint. Definitely not something for the general public due to the heat but certainly a beautiful dish for a heat lover if they didn't cook it as long next time.
The Beef Strip was the final protein prior to the dessert course. I ordered mine blue and while I ordered a similar steak at Cafe Lurcat two weeks prior and received my first heading more towards medium-rare than extremely rare, I was honestly quite surprised when it came out cooked exactly as I had asked especially when this was such a small piece of beef. The sides were nothing to speak about however and Technique's fairly lame Bordelaise was not even 1/100th the one we sampled at Cafe Lurcat. Even so I was impressed with the grill work of the students at Technique and I was pleased with the end to our main courses.
Being that I am not a big dessert fan, the Technique Trio Dessert Plate wasn't a big deal to me. They provided a spoonful of a fruit crumble and a miniature cupcake sized portion of a "lava cake" and their cheesecake which The Heavy Table described as being "sublime" back in November.
The crumble wasn't anything special and was definitely no better or worse than any I've made in my own kitchen. However the fruit was tart and the portion, even though small, was surprisingly satisfying. The "lava cake" is in quotes because instead of a liquid center, this little dessert had more of an underdone cake center instead. I felt like I was eating a poorly made chocolate cupcake from a "Not-so Easy Bake Oven" with an underpowered lightbulb inside. Finally the "sublime" cheesecake was fine. While we didn't receive the delectable treat that The Heavy Table did, I clearly could see how in its full glory this would have come off as light and as pleasant as was described.
While the food was good, our server–also a student–was unsure of himself and the menu. Our questions were usually greeted with blank stares towards the kitchen and a lot of hemming and hawing. I realize that the students are going to school to learn to cook but a basic knowledge of the items on the menu and what they include as well as a background on the general operation of the restaurant would have been nice. In addition to the server's lack of knowledge, the speed at which we were served is worthy of mention. Our 5:30 dinner reservation turned into a 1.5+ hour ordeal with varying lengths of time between courses, seemingly at the whim of our friendly but absentminded server. If you're looking for a quick and cheap meal, you're only going to get 50% of it at Technique.
Overall, while I was fairly critical, I was quite impressed with what we had at Le Cordon Bleu's Technique in Mendota Heights on Friday night. While it's definitely no match for the more refined dining experiences you're likely to find around town, I noted to The Wife after our meal that we have eaten at other restaurants purporting to be of higher pedigree which served us far less worthy items for a lot more money. If you're looking for a great night out which will keep you under $40 (we didn't order wine but they do have a wine list which appeared to run around $20-25/bottle) then I highly recommend you check out Technique in Mendota Heights!
Have you ever eaten at The Minnesota Room or Technique in Minnesota (or any of their locations nationwide)? If so what did you think? Did you get to order from their regular menu or did you also receive a tasting menu as we did? Have you ordered from their wine list? Being that I'm not a wine person I can't provide much information; perhaps you might be able to shed some light on their selection instead? Do you know of any other culinary schools around town which offer similar dining experiences for the money (AI in Minneapolis, MnSCU schools, etc?) Whatever you have to say about Technique in Mendota Heights go ahead and comment on as I'd love to hear your thoughts.

For some, the holidays mean a ton of travel. For others, it's prime time for entertaining out-of-towners. Unfortunately we can't offer tips for navigating congested highways and overstuffed airports but we can help you create an incredibly gracious guest room. We've collected eight rooms that showcase the must-have elements of a good guest bedroom.
First, there should be good lighting on both sides of the bed, so invest in new bedroom lamps if need be. Avoid spindly or fussy designs that tip too easily, and if they're on a dimmer, even better. Bedside tables should be sturdy and uncluttered. (Nobody needs to stare at snapshots of your long dead gerbil.) While a display of beautiful objects is lovely to look at, it's more thoughtful to leave enough clear space for guests' reading materials, cell phones, and such. Fresh flowers are almost always welcome (assuming an absence of allergies), so use one or two small decorative vases to dress up the area.
If you have the luxury of having dedicated guest accommodations, decorate with a subtle scheme. Fun colors and playful details are certainly fine, but refrain from jarring combo, overly feminine or fussy designs, and in-your-face art that might make friends or family uncomfortable. Interior designers Michael Bechara (right) and Maria Lladro (left) used neutral palettes in these rooms but they're not at all boring. Maps, abstract artwork, and landscapes are safe bets. Hang them up rather than leaning them on the nightstand or dresser where they're a hindrance. If the floors are bare, add a throw rug by the bedside, especially in winter. Not everyone remembers to pack slippers!
A bench, ottoman, or luggage stand placed at the foot of the bed is useful and keeps things clean. A suitcase that's just been thrown around a tarmac doesn't belong atop pristine sheets. Like the previous pair of rooms, designer Nicole Hollis went neutral. The minimalist aesthetic has a spa-like feel. Incorporating wall mounted light fixtures keeps things clean and clear, and a candle adds ambience.
The bedside tables here are perfect because guests can see how everything you stocked them with. A bar cart is a fun idea too. Notice the cozy throw blankets on the bottom shelf. Carafe and drinking glass sets are a considerate touch so your houseguests needn't wander through the house at night. And while most folks use their phones to tell time, a clock might help them achieve a holiday unplugged.
This bedroom designed by Palmer Weiss is perfection. The elegant bedroom lamps are a matched pair, the bedding is crisp and fluffy, and there's even a loveseat in the bay window. Note the heavy draperies—don't make your guests get up with the sun.

Major redecorating can get expensive, so I have 5 home decorating idea for under $50. Impossible you say? Have faith!
Home Decorating Idea 1. Add metallics. From gold and silver to warm bronze, metallics will add much needed texture and weight to a space. This designer sconce costs under $50 and looks like it costs hundreds. Whether they flank a sofa, sideboard or bedside, the materials are timeless and the design totally current when it comes to contemporary lighting. Shopping list: Brushed-bronze Hand-crafted Shade Wall Sconce.
Home Decorating Idea 2. Add Pattern. Monochromatic rooms can get stale, so try incorporating pattern to give the eye something interesting to absorb. Something as simple as replacing lamp shades with a funky design can instantly change a room. I say, pop these orange beauties on bedside swing arm lamps. Shopping list: Orange Floral Drum Lamp Shade.
Home Decorating Idea 3. Add color. This is becoming my favorite hall ever. It's so crisp, cheerful yet still classic. The narrow, white space pops because of the unobtrusive recessed lights and bold choice of color on the runner. The two chevron pillows can act in the same way when used on a plain white sofa or chair. Shopping list: Accent Pillows.
Home Decorating Idea 4. Add something rustic. Even contemporary spaces need something rustic and worn to feel human and lived-in. Natural woods are fascinating to look and especially to touch. In a world that has evolved into swiping slick tablets and phones, why not get your Abraham Lincoln on and go split rail fence for a change. Shopping list: Large Natural Teakwood Stump Candle.
Home Decorating Idea 5. Add something nostalgic. Stay true to the architecture of a room, so if a fixture doesn't look right, swap it out. This schoolhouse light is under $50 and is amazingly popular in traditional kitchens, back halls or mudrooms. Shopping list: Schoolhouse Brushed Steel Ceiling Light Fixture.

Last year I visited Copenhagen during the holiday season. Already smitten with Danish furniture and lighting design, the trip cemented my obsession with Scandinavian style, especially in wintertime. Early sunsets make for long dark days, hence the practice of washing everything in white and light. Unlike Americans' obsessions with red, green, and gold. Nordic merrymakers stick to neutral palettes, with an abundance of sheepskin, tree branches, and candlelight.
This white paneled living room's contemporary sectional sofa is scattered with accent pillows aplenty, including styles with a bit of shimmer. Tree trunk coffee tables bring the outdoors in. Shopping guide: 1. Sonnet 6" Wide Winding Globe Chrome Pendant Light 2. Set of 2 Paillette Floral 18" Embroidered Throw Pillows 3. Simon Tree Stump White Table Lamp 4. Set of 3 Distressed White Rectangular Wood Trays 5. Knots Pastel 22" Square Hand-Made Accent Pillow 6. Reef Black 22" Square Hand-Made Accent Pillow
Swedish designer Yifa Skarp decorated for Christmas with charming paper trees atop the industrial-style coffee tables. The gray, textured throw blanket on the sofa seems to be sheepskin, and a cozy bedside lamp perched on the windowsill acts as an extra light source for dark days.
Shopping guide: 1. Draper Mid-Century Modern Desk Lamp 2. Gaucho Charcoal 18" Square Down Throw Pillow 3. Tobias Collection Gray Throw 4. Pinebrook Rectangular Rolling Table 5. Zuo Carnival White Modular Loveseat
An intimate wooden dining table and chairs hosts simple glasses, plates, and bowls. The rustic yet dramatic chandelier, made from antlers, is an outdoorsy touch, especially alongside the towering bare evergreen.
Shopping guide: 1. Cast Iron White Pinecone Stocking Holder 2. Big Sky Twelve Light Elk Antler Chandelier 3. Jane Seymour 22" Five Hydrangeas in Clay Pot 4. Set of 2 Wishbone Y Natural Wood Side Chairs
A wintry vignette in a hotel at Tivoli Gardens in downtown Copenhagen, shows off white flowers, pine tree garlands, wicker-covered hurricane lamps, and of course, a lush sheepskin throw. The candles will definitely cast a gorgeous glow against the rich woods. Can't get enough of this chic, neutral holiday decor? Head over to StyleCarrot for 22 more rooms with inspiring Scandinavian style.
Shopping guide: 1. Small Bach Antique White 23 1/4" High Wood Candlestick 2. Twig and Leaf Votive Candelabra Candle Holder 3. White Sheepskin Rug 4. Rojo 16 Snow White Large Glass Votive or Tea Light Holder 5. Bell Jar Terrarium III

Today I'm thrilled to share a little DIY project from my very own home with you! We recently moved into a new San Francisco loft and wanted a statement-making chandelier. But between renting {and therefore not able to do anything too permanent} and having nothing but track lighting on our 20 foot ceilings to work with, we felt pretty stuck.
Then we discovered a Glass Mini Pendant and an idea sprouted...
By bundling half a dozen pendants together we could create a modern and eye-catching DIY chandelier! It was a quick, easy and cost effective way to add a great design element and create the balance in our wide-open space that I was looking for. The only tools required were track light converters for each pendant and a really tall ladder.
Each pendant clicked right in as if plugging in a light bulb. A simple twist tie was used to gather the cords together in an organically formed bundle. We're just thrilled with the results!
If you're looking for a little added glow in your home this holiday season, try thinking outside the regular lighting box. Your only limitation is your imagination. And perhaps how tall your ladder is!

'Tis the busiest time of the year-Is your living room decor ready to see the action of the season? By taking a few simple steps with a minimal investment, you can create a rich new look in your space. These living room decor ideas are great for the holidays or everyday living.
One of the tried and true designer touches are decorative sofa pillows. They allow you to bring in the latest pattern or color trend without having to change the entire room.
Reflect the positive. Decorative mirrors with rich details placed across from a window will double your view and help bounce nature light around the living room.
Replace your traditional coffee table with a pair of ottomans. They provide extra seating, a place to put your feet while watching those nostalgic holiday movies and of course a place for your snack or beverage.
Adding a touch of nature always brings life to any space. A branch of colorful leaves placed in decorative vases will update your living room decor with a touch of the season.

Happy Thanksgiving. For me, today is about being cozy. Fall decorating plays a big role in that agenda. Let others break limbs at turkey bowls, I want to savor the end of fall by helping mom mix some stuffing, curl up on the sofa with a throw and soft pillows and then gorge on gravy and sweets. Don't forget, we are hours away from the frenzy of holiday shopping and drained bank accounts...let's make these autumnal moments last a few moments more.
Basking in the glow of warm lamp light is quintessentially cozy. The right mood can be achieved by choosing the perfect traditional table lamp and shade. Replacement shades are a great way to update a lamp for less. Shopping list: Rust Shirred Bell Lamp Shade.
Speaking of a warm glow, candles are here to stay so why not give them a home of their own. Hurricanes and lanterns make sure your flame never falters. Not only will they look good on winter mantles, but they can ways be moved outside in better weather to dress up a deck. Shopping list: Mason Rustic Patina Pillar Candle Lantern.
Give me a warm fire and book and you can stick a fork in it...I'm done. Naturally firelight was fine for settlers, but I need a proper floor lamp to peruse the pages of my favorite decorating magazine. Shopping list: Robert Abbey Rutherford Tripod Pharmacy Floor Lamp.
Throws may look pretty draped over a chair but they certainly come in handy when you don't have the energy to pull yourself up off the sofa and turn on the heat. Throws are totally practical and make a perfect cozy gift for the holidays. Shopping list: Surya Tian Tian Plum Throw Blanket.
So know matter what your plans are this holiday, I hope you find some time for some cozy fall decorating.

4. Nature is the inspiration for this rustic arrangement featuring an acorn covered basket filled with gilded fruit and fall foliage.
5. Last minute guests? Simply carve apples and fill with tea lights to bring warmth and a little twist of the unexpected to this easy-to-make arrangement.

For the most part, the Jewish holidays have had a hard time keeping up with the times. The pre-made decoration options are very dated, and without much DIY-inspiration focused on Hanukkah in particular, many are left using the same old gold and blue cardboard cut-outs. However, without much effort, it is very easy to modernize your Hanukkah celebration.
With pop songs and primetime television being very Christmas-heavy, decor ideas are often re-imagined year after year, giving way to a modern sense of how to decorate for Christmas. For those of us who are on team Hanukkah (with our team captain Adam Sandler slacking on his Hanukkah pop culture duties as of late) we are not often inundated with new, creative ways to decorate for our 8 days and nights.
What you need to focus on when modernizing your Hanukkah celebration is bringing in the traditional colors and symbols in a new and fresh way. Feel free to take creative license when picking your blue and gold accents, and don't be afraid to mix in other fabulous colors and patterns. Find a patterned fabric at your local store in a beautiful blue hue and use that as your tablecloth. Build up from there with vintage dinnerware. After dinner, serve tea and coffee in gold rimmed tea cups and bring out cream and sugar on a vintage-inspired plate set. These are all easily found at your local flea market.
Instead of using the traditional menorah, try making one yourself. This DIY Manzanita branch menorah is super chic and unexpected. Your guests will be begging you to teach them how (you can learn now here). And if you are planning to use place cards, why not get crafty and make them!
Last but not least, who can resist these amazing bon bons from Ala Niki Handmade Desserts?
With these great ideas modernizing your Hanukkah celebration is easier than ever.

I took on the challenge to find 5 ways to change a room for under $100. My goal was to do the makeover for under $100, not simply to add one, $100 item. Tricky right? I started with the premise that I wanted a chic gray room. Gray rooms are "in" and can go from summer (with white slipcovers) to winter (with cozy throws and candles).
The five ways to change a room include: Lighting, Soft Furnishings, Accessories, Paint, and Texture.
The rooms above show the dramatic affect paint and lighting can make. From modern table lamps to discreet recessed lights, these rooms are well balanced. Also note the clever mix of accessories and textures, from woven baskets and iron to glass and wood. Furniture tends to remain neutral, and I recommend that if you have a tight budget.
These rooms emphasize the importance of varied accessories, texture and home textiles. Professionally designed rooms offer something interesting to view from floor to ceiling and everything in between. Hence, make sure your makeover considers everything from light switch plates to door knobs. Attention to detail makes a space feel "designer done". The dining room on the left can feel wintry with pussywillows and candles and summery with white roses and crisp white linens, while the bedroom can change seasons with light or darker bedding.
Here's what I used to change a room for under $100: Grey Curved Stripes Lamp Shade, Mandalay Brushed Nickel Single Rocker Wall Plate, Surya Charcoal Gray Throw Pillow, Circular 15" High Stone And Iron Candle Holder,and Small Bell Jar Glass Dome.

Phone – Theatre Royal 03 6233 2299
Counter – Theatre Royal 29 Campbell Street Hobart.XAVIER SABATABarcelona-born countertenor Xavier Sabata makes his Australian debut in this brilliant recital exclusive to Hobart Baroque.
Sabata had an unlikely start to his musical career, studying saxophone at the Barcelona Conservatory and acting at the Institut del Teatre. At the same time he took singing lessons at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya in Barcelona and the Hochschule für Musik in Karlsruhe. He also participated in master classes led by the late Montserrat Figueras, one of the most celebrated early music singers and wife of Jordi Savall. Christoph Prégardien and Richard Leavit, Andreas Scholl's teacher, were other mentors.
Sabata has performed at London's Barbican Hall, Teatro Real in Madrid, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, New York's Lincoln Center, and Opera Lorraine in Nancy. He collaborated with esteemed conductors - with René Jacobs, Jordi Savall, Eduardo López Banzo.
He has also worked extensively as soloist with William Christie and Les Arts Florissants and with Le Jardin des voix, an academy created by Christie to train young singers in baroque technique.
Bad Guys, Sabata's album of arias that Handel wrote for some of the nastier characters in his operas has had critics scrambling for superlatives.

There's a nasty winter storm coming to Chicagoland — a mix of rain, sleet and snow that might result in 12″ of accumulation. Jennifer was scheduled to fly right in the middle of it.
Delta Helps You Escape Chicago Before The Winter Storm Of Doom
U.S. Airways Boots 274 Stranded Passengers From Caribbean Airport, Refuses To Pay For Hotels
Armed guards ordered 274 stranded passengers out of the Punta Cana airport with no place to go after bad weather forced U.S. Airways to cancel its flight from the Dominican Republic to Philadelphia. Several passengers ended up sleeping in a bus after the airline responded to Tropical Storm Fay by asking passengers to pick up their luggage and get lost.
United's "Bad Weather" Excuse Isn't Very Believable
Jonathan wants to know how long an airline can blame a cancellation on bad weather, and whether there's any way to get such a claim rejected when it's used inappropriately. Is it legitimate, for example, to say tomorrow's flight is canceled due to weather, when what you really mean is an isolated thunderstorm the day before—which evidently affected no other airlines in the area—triggered a domino effect in getting a certain plane to the right airport a full day later?
Dear American Airlines Employees: "I Hope That One Day You Find A Good Paying Job With An Employer That Cares About You"
AJ writes in to let us know that he too was lied to by American Airlines. They canceled his flight(s) from Pittsburgh to Austin (by way of Dallas). He called the 1-800 number but was met with a CSR who used "bad weather in Dallas" as an excuse, and told him there was no way to get him to Austin on time.
Nasty Spring Snowstorm Affecting Flights In And Out Of Chicago
Just thought I'd get the word out… Chicago is getting smacked with a spring snowstorm. I just went outside and it's nearly white-out conditions outside.
The FAA says:
American Airlines Dallas Cancellation Party Not Going So Well
Reader Drew is currently stranded at Dallas Fort Worth airport and would like to speak with someone from American Airlines on the telephone. Unfortunately, we're the only ones he can reach.
Snow in Cleveland is affecting air travel. The FAA says:
Due to WEATHER / SNOW-ICE, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Cleveland, OH (CLE). This is causing some arriving flights to be delayed an average of 3 hours and 12 minutes.
Continental, which uses Cleveland as a hub, is canceling lots of flights. [Ohio.com]
It's snowing in NYC, causing the usual flight delays and cancellations. The FAA says that JFK, LaGuardia and Newark are expecting arrival delays of three to seven hours. The FAA is also reporting that 27 percent flights at Philadelphia International Airport have been canceled. Feel free to share your thoughts about this with us at email@example.com. [CNN]
5 Things Airlines Don't Want You To Know About Weather Delays
When an airplane is delayed due to the weather, they get out of a lot of obligations, and there's little oversight over what they get to call a weather-related delay. Elliot.org interviewed industry experts and came up with five interesting things the industry is keeping from you about weather delays…
American Airline's Weather Delay Excuse Successfully Debunked
You don't need to hire a forensic meteorologist to dispute an airline's so-called weather delay and get the compensation or rebooking you're deserved, sometimes you just need the internets! Here's how Jasmine did just that with a recent flight on American Airlines:
My last canceled flight was blamed on the weather. I called a friend with the internet, had them look up the weather at my destination and en route (which was fine). I went back to the desk and said, "The weather is fine. You sure there aren't other problems?" That's when then he said that it was the weather AND technical problems with the plane…
Dispute An Airline's So-Called "Weather Delay"
Unless it's due to the weather, if there's a flight delay or cancellation, passengers are entitled to some kind of refund, unless of course it's due to the weather, but are flight delays as due to the weather as often as airlines say they are? And how would you go about proving otherwise? Well, as a fascinating interview posted over at airline blog Elliot.org informs us, you could always hire the services of a forensic meteorologist.
Solve Problems On Cruise Ships By Staging A Mutiny!
When storms force your cruise to skip ports of call, don't sit idly in your cabin watching the whitecaps break menacingly against the ship. Go find your fellow passengers and stage a mutiny! At least that is what passengers onboard the Sapphire Princess did when two typhoons kept the ship from planned port calls in Vietnam, Japan, and Taiwan.
At one point, with passengers assembled in the ship's theater, she said, "the attorney jumped up and grabbed the microphone away from the assistant cruise director and said: 'We're taking over the stage! We have a petition!'"
US Airways Isn't Flexible About Their $100 Flight Change Fee
Dear Doug Parker,
Some airlines, including JetBlue, Delta and Continental are waiving change fees due to a nasty storm in the northeast. [Newsday]
Severe Flooding In The Northwest Knocks Out T-Mobile's Customer Service
Hey ya'll. I just wanted to alert your readers to the fact the T-Mobile USA's customer care (1-800-937-8997) is offline right now. It has been since sometime yesterday. Apparently they house all their system stuff in Seattle, WA or Portland, OR or one of those currently waterlogged states. Well, it has caused all their stuff to crash. I called last night and then again this morning and waited past their automated system telling me that they could not view my account info thru the IVR and that the CSR's were unable to view my account info and to call back later. I spoke with a polite rep Cassie who said that they did not have an ETR on when their systems would be back up and running and that I should try calling back later on today.
We called T-Mobile and sure enough they're currently unable to pull up anyone's account info due to the storms. No word on when it will be back up.
Holiday Travel Season Off To A Rough Start
Technical problems, fog, rain and other weather issues are already causing delays at several airports says USAToday.
Denver International Airport Reassures Passengers That There Have Been "Major Changes"
Last year Denver International airport closed for 45 hours when a blizzard descended on our nation's 6th largest airport. Now the airport and the airlines that operate there would like you to know that they've made a lot of changes.

The streets of London and New York come to life in this exhibition and companion installation.
London Street Photography, organized by the Museum of London, features images by some 70 photographers of fleeting moments of ordinary people in London – at work, in transit, in public spaces, and in neighborhoods. A companion installation by the Museum of the City of New York, City Scenes: Highlights of New York Street Photography, provides a counterpart, focusing on various photographers from the 1890s Progressive Era of Jacob Riis to the contemporary age of Joel Meyerowitz.
