For Small Businesses, Remedies for Riding Out a Recession?
Some of Kitsap's top business leaders dished up a heaping helping of encouragement for their colleagues recently to help see them through the recession.
"This is going to end. It's going to get better," Gary Gartin, of commercial real estate firm Bradley Scott Inc., said Tuesday at Kitsap Golf & Country Club, where Bremerton Area Chamber of Commerce members gathered to hear what their board members had to say about surviving in a down economy.
The event was the latest held by a business group to help business owners weather the financial storm. The topic is on the agenda of chambers, economic development groups and even churches, who are all reaching out to people to let them know there is hope in these tough times.
At the Bremerton chamber meeting, Gartin reminded members to keep things in perspective, to not panic and to remember the famous Serenity Prayer, which talks to accepting things you can't change.
"Your life and your business are not the same thing," said the longtime leasing specialist. Family, friends and good health are what counts, he said.
Gartin laid out a plan for business owners trying to hang on in the worsening recession.
Customer service is paramount, he said.
"That needs to be your focus."
Cut expenses, but not in marketing, because that is what's going to generate income when its needed most, he said.
Can't make the office or store rent? Work with landlords, who may be willing to use security deposits to cover it, or may agree to arrangements of paying less now and more later.
Uncle Sam may not be as understanding, so pay the taxes, Gartin advised.
"They will shut you down," he said.
Review the business plan and get help from real-estate people, accountants and chambers.
If it still is too difficult, "know when to fold," he said.
This will not be another Great Depression, he said. The end of the bad times will come, and thanks to the steady employment the Navy provides, Kitsap's better off than most places, he said.
Stacey Tucker, third-generation owner of Chico Towing, urged the 100-plus business leaders gathered to remember their employees struggling with uncertainties themselves.
Bring in a massage therapist or hair-cutter and offer them free sessions. Give them gas and shopping cards, and hams and turkeys for the holidays, she said. Find ways to reimburse them for the bigger amount of medical insurance they're paying out of pocket. Have payday picnics and cook up lunch for them. Take a few minutes for a bubble-blowing game, she suggested.
"When your employee goes back to work, you've got a happier, less stressed-out" worker, she said. Loyal workers make for happy customers, she said.
"The focus on the bottom line is not always where you need to be," she said.
Lending experts Leah Olson, marketing vice president of Kitsap Credit Union, and Bill Fogarty, president of Liberty Bank of Washington, told listeners having trouble to talk to their lender early. They might be able to find resources to avoid foreclosure or credit default.
And think to the future.
"Keep in mind this is a short-term problem in the economy," Olson said.
The crowd of anxious business owners tried to lighten their spirits as they listened to local comedian Chris Larsen deliver his take on the economy.
They then went back what work they had waiting for them.

BENEFITS of Couples and Marriage Counselling :
- Increased ability to track your own thoughts/feelings and communicate them more effectively
- Communicate without blame and listen without defensiveness
- Increased sexual polarity and playfulness
- Gain a deep understanding of masculine-feminine dynamics
- Learn skills to experience conflict in a healthy way
- Experience liberation from your own emotional difficulties leading to more kindness/playfulness towards yourself and your partner
- Discover and practice your different love languages
I do couple therapy from an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) perspective. This is different than typical couple counselling. Rather than giving advice and strategies, that you may not follow, I help you open doors together to rediscover your feelings of love and to strengthen the bond between you.
Relationship advice and strategies for fair negotiation rarely stand up to the strong emotions that blow through couple relationships. During couple therapy, I will work with you to get to the heart of the matter: to that place where you each long to feel connected and fully acceptable to one another. I help you identify your raw spots and to face and change difficult and intense emotions, so that you can save your relationship and protect it for the future.
As an Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist, I am insightful and collaborative in working with you to identify the repeated ruts and patterns you are stuck in. Through couple counselling, I help you speak the language of the heart and find the safe haven of love. I help you transform blaming, scolding and silent behaviours that go with difficult emotions such as loneliness, hurt and fear, into tenderness and comfort. Together in couple counselling we can find the love, caring and fun that has been buried under your conflicts and lost in the distance between you.
As well as private couples coaching, Daniel facilitates intimacy for men and for women through the day-long intimacy workshops. Marriage counselling is a service offered for any couples seeking to improve their relationships in Hong Kong.
"My husband and I were fortunate enough to find Daniel last year and we immediately starting counselling for my husbands substance problems. My husband has never seen a therapist and was in denial about his addiction. He was extremely hesitant to go to the first meeting. Daniel not only made my husband feel very comfortable, he helped us both understand that there was a much deeper issue than just a substance abuse. We spend 3-4 sessions discussing how we could better connect within our marriage and how we could substitute his substance urges for better martial connection. We are on the road to recovery and the majority of our petty arguments and fights have been resolved – Daniel has taught us the tools to better understand and communicate with each other. Daniel made such a huge impression on us – that my husband and I started seeing him individually to work on strategies for our career path. Daniel has an integrated approach to happiness and success by improving all aspects of your life: Love, work, family. I highly recommend his services – he has become an important ally in our marriage and success in Hong Kong. We owe Daniel a huge thank you for saving our marriage."
J & T, Legal Services, Hong Kong
"Daniel has a wonderfully welcoming, relaxed style, making you feel instantly at ease in his company and trusting of his confidence. Spending time with him was like opening the curtains to our relationship, allowing us to see with clarity what our individual and collective needs and requirements are, and also to understand what buttons to try to avoid pressing, and how to deal with it when they sometimes, inevitably, get pressed. Our time with Daniel has been extremely rewarding and we'd like to thank him for all his listening, coaching and imparted wisdom."
-B & N Investment Banking HK
His laser-sharp skills pick up on the subtle, yet incredibly vital, cues that lead to real transformation, unfolding, and ability to relate deeply and authentically. I highly recommend Daniel for anyone who is looking to heal, transform, or simply go deeper in their romantic relationships and connection with others.
– Krista B Designer, Boulder, CO
'Daniel is extremely skilled at inviting both men and women to deepen into more intimacy and connection with each other, even amidst conflict or painful emotions. His style is a beautiful mix of friendly and compassionate but also powerful and directive'
– Lara I – Dating coach, Boulder, CO
'Daniel has a rare gift for facilitating meaningful connections in the moment — felt experiences rather than mental concepts. These experiences show rather than tell couples how they can create more authentic, intimate, and satisfying relationships.'
– Allison C, Consultant, Cleveland, OH
To work with Daniel doing Couples therapy is a wonderful and a very valuable experience. As an individual, I am really learning how to love myself. Daniel is an amazing teacher, coach or therapist whatever you want to call it. He's trustable and adaptable. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much, Daniel.
-Heather, Student, Denver, CO
Daniel's rare combination of cognitive clarity and presence, tempered with a deeply authentic sensitivity, make him imminently qualified to facilitate personal growth work of all sorts. Working with Daniel has helped us grow as individuals, which over time has served to deepen our level of intimacy in both direct and subtle ways.

Leader hails Iran Olympics medalists
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has praised Iranian athletes for their impressive performance at the London 2012 Olympic Games, and their great efforts to win honors for Iran through various medals won. I express my profound gratitude to the heroic Iranian champions and their determined coaches, who could bring joy and happiness to the Iranian nation during the Olympic Games, Ayatollah Khamenei said in a message on Sunday. Olympics 2012 ended on Sunday with an extravaganza ceremony that rocked a main stadium filled with celebrities, athletes and a sea of exuberant spectators. The 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium was transformed for the closing ceremony into a mini-London, with model landmarks including Tower Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral on a Union Jack shaped stage. The Olympic flag was lowered and passed by London to the 2016 Brazilian host city, Rio de Janeiro, at the end of the ceremony. Iran stood in 17th place of the medals table at the London 2012 Olympic Games with a tally of four gold, five silver, and three bronze medals. Iranian freestyle wrestlers Ehsan Lashgari and Komeil Ghasemi won two bronze medals in the men's 84-kilogram and 120-kilogram weight classes respectively while Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi snatched the silver medal in the men's 74-kilogram category. Taekwondo athlete Mohammad Bagheri Motamed won the silver medal in the men's -68kg category. Ehsan Haddadi won Iran's first-ever Olympic medal in athletics when he took the silver in the men's discus throw competition. In the weightlifting competition, superheavyweight Behdad Salimi won the gold medal and his compatriot Sajjad Anoushiravani pocketed the silver in the +105-kilogram category. Navvab Nasirshelal won a silver medal in the men's 105-kilogram category while Kianoush Rostami took a bronze in the 85-kilogram competition. In Greco-Roman wrestling, Ghasem Rezaei, Omid Haji Norouzi and five-time world champion Hamid Sourian took gold medals in the men's 96kg, 60kg and 55kg categories respectively. MP/MA

The New York Jets were down 2 with 38 seconds left and no timeouts starting at their own 20-yard line. After a completed pass deep down the middle to Kellen Winslow, Geno scrambled for a first down and LB Lavonte David was penalized for a late hit that gave the Jets an extra 15 yards. That penalty set up the game winning 48 yard field goal for Nick Folk which gave the Jets the win, 18 to 17.
The Jets defense started off solid.
They forced a safety and Dawan Landry had an interception. Rookie Sheldon Richardson was all over the field, getting a sack and having multiple tackles throughout the game. They held RB Doug Martin to 64 total yards after having a huge rookie season last year. Dee Milliner started off slow giving up a touchdown to WR Mike Williams but really settled down and had a solid game overall. Muhammad Wilkerson was man handling the Bucs O-line having a sack and providing multiple pressures. Rex Ryan said the Jets will have a top 5 defense and that D-line is no doubt the strength of this team now.
Geno Smith was a tale of two halves. First half he looked a little rattled, throwing an interception and fumbling the ball inside their own 10-yard line. Toward the end of the first half, Geno led a td drive down the field, which brought the Jets within 2 points heading into halftime. The 2nd half he looked calm and composed, setting up 2 field games, the latter that won it. Smith finished 24-of-38 for 256 yards. The moment wasn't too big for Geno and he showed his confidence in the game winning drive.
Chris Ivory was a non-factor in this game as he was constantly stuffed at the line of scrimmage and showcased his lack of receiving skills dropping a crucial 3rd down pass. Give credit to Tampa Bays run defense as they showed why they were number 1 in the league last season. Look for a bounce back game for Ivory Thursday night against the Patriots.

The UK is lagging behind emerging economies when it comes to investing in technology in education, according to ex-Becta CEO and director of global education implementation for Cisco, Steven Crowne, who was speaking at a Westminster eForum event earlier this week.
Crowne told delegates at the event, entitled The Future of Technology in Education, that emerging markets China, Brazil and India are investing significantly in technology within schools because they have recognised the link between ICT and computing education and strong economic performance.
"They have received that message loud and clear," he said.
"These countries are driving much harder than we are. Although many are playing catch-up, their drive may see us lose our edge."
He also had a message for the government around enhancing the take-up and use of technology by and within schools.
He argued that schools needed both a clear national strategy and good local or granular understanding of the type of technology they wanted to buy.
He also said it was important for them to recognise that prescription by government and local innovation are not necessarily opposites, and that government-endorsed universal platforms and locally sourced technologies can work side by side.
Crowne said the government should provide help with building and sharing information around the effective use of IT and that it also has a role in brokering supply and demand to intervene where the market does not come to a satisfactory solution.
"A case in point might be broadband access or single sign on," he said.
Some schools will not be able to get access to broadband via the market because it is too expensive, and others may not have the technical capabilities in-house to implement single sign on.
In both cases the government will have an important role as broker, he said.

If they want a British actress I would suggest Jaime Murray she recently had a role as H.G. Wells in Warehouse 13 and was awesome. I first saw her in season 2 of Dexter. These two roles prove she can pull off the "sexy bitch" part that the part of Danny's wife would need to be.

Nakamura escaped mana difficulties early with Wirewood Elf helping him cycle a Krosan Tusker. That all meant he had a Barkhide Mauler on the table by turn four. Ooiso had just a Glory Seeker, with nothing to add on his third turn. He came back with Dive Bomber and took four from the Mauler. Nakamura set up his draw step with Sage Aven.
Ooiso dropped Aven Soulgazer, setting up a huge Aven Brigadier on the following turn. Nakamura threw a wrench in the works with Crookclaw Elder. Ooiso dispatched it with Solar Blast, and when Nakamura tapped it and the Sage to draw a card, Ooiso hit for five in the air. Nakamura untapped and served for four on the ground. Ooiso cycled Sunfire Balm to spare himself a point. Nakamura further delayed the Brigadier with a Keeneye Aven and a morph besides.
Ooiso baited him, swinging in with the Soulgazer. Nakamura took it, double blocking and losing both when Ooiso showed him Pinpoint Avalanche. Nakamura came back strong. Essence Fracture left Ooiso with just his Glory Seeker. After swinging in for four with the Mauler, Nakamura made a morph and handed it back. Ooiso thought, then tapped out for Soulgazer and Battlefield Medic.
Nakamura swung in with morph and Mauler. Ooiso put his Glory Seeker in the way of the morph. It was Primal Whisperer, a 4/4 thanks to Nakamura's other morph. Ooiso fell to five. But he wasn't out yet. He added Dive Bomber and Liege of the Axe to his team. Nakamura swung in again. Soulgazer and Medic blocked the Mauler, Bomber and Liege blocked the Whisperer. Nakamura split the Mauler's damage three-one, and aimed to kill the Dive Bomber with the Whisperer. Ooiso tried to rescue the Soulgazer with the Medic, but Nakamura unmorphed Venomspout Brackus and shot it down. Then he played his masterstroke: Chain of Vapor. He rescued both is Mauler and Whisperer.
That gave Ooiso a little time, at least. He used it well. Aven Brigadier showed up, and then another Liege of the Axe and a Morph. Still, Nakamura found Glintwing Invoker, and forced the Brigadier to chump block. It was then that Ooiso topdecked Akroma, Angel of Wrath. Nakamura helped matters by forgetting that Akroma has first strike, costing him his Glintwing Invoker. When he didn't draw Choking Tethers, the game was Ooiso's.
Ooiso 1 – Nakamura 0
Nakamura's start for Game 2 was gangbusters. First Wirewood Elf, then Keeneye Aven and Barkhide Mauler. Ooiso's was a sluggish Wingbeat Warrior and Dive Bomber. He found himself at twelve quickly. He played Aven Soulgazer and held the fort.
Nakamura showed him Essence Fracture. After trading with a morph he was at five and facing four creatures with an empty board. They moved to Game 3.
Ooiso 1 – Nakamura 1
In Game 3, it was Ooiso's turn to give a master class in tempo, after Nakamura mulled to six, pitching a hand of all land. He started with Wingbeat Warrior and Dive Bomber while Nakamura merely cycled Krosan Tusker. He added a morph and was quickly at fourteen. Ooiso played a morph of his own, and declined to block Nakamura's attack. Nakamura hoped that Barkhide Mauler would buy him time to get some flying defense.
Ooiso cracked down with Pinpoint Avalanche, leaving Nakamura at eight. Nakamura hoped Crookclaw Elder would do the job. Ooiso dropped Daru Encampment and served. Nakamura lined up the morphs and put his Elder on the Dive Bomber. Ooiso unmorphed Liege of the Axe and dealt three with the Warrior. Nakamura drew, and laid his hand on the table: All lands.
Final Result: Masashi Ooiso defeats Satoshi Nakamura 2-1

Other Good Stuff:
Relatively Small Site, Relies on Network for More Content.
Even though it's been around for a number of years the total number of scenes still is in the seventies. Larger sites in the network have hundreds of scenes so Cum Bang is on the smaller side. The bonus network content plays a big role to give members more for their money.

For a while now the additions here have been coming at a rate of one new episode every few months. It is still active but is just crawling along. This network has an array of sites from ones that get updated constantly to some in-active sites to others like Cum Bang where updates do come but only occasionally.
Minor Negatives:
Really fun HD interracial black-girl episodes plus access to the rest of the Dog Fart Network.
Cum Bang's entertainment value and specialty theme really stand out. Generally interracial porn is white girls and black guys but here it's the reverse. On top of that you have the groupsex and bukkake themes in the mix with makes it even more unique. The HD videos and good all-around options are a real strength too.

A photo of people bobsledding in Manitowoc in the early 1900s.
- Filed Under
Francis Kadow was a leader in the Manitowoc community in the 1950s and '60s.
He used his airtime on local radio to discuss a wide range of topics, and we are fortunate to have written copies of many of Kadow's commentaries, including the following piece about bobsledding from 1909 to 1913 in Manitowoc.
"As soon as you had a good covering of snow and cold weather to go with it - which meant from mid-December to late February - bobsledding was the fun of the day," he said.
"The 14th Street slide would run from Division Street north to Franklin Street, and as the weather got colder and the track faster, the run would be extended up the next hill. The championship bobsleds would go from Division Street up past where the Heresite and chemical plants are located today. When you thundered down this (hill) speeding at maybe 55 to 40 miles an hour, riding just a few feet off of the ground, you knew the meaning of the word thrills.
"A ride like this was well worth the effort to pull the big, heavy bobsled up the six-block climb to do it all over again.
"Under the direction of the old boys and young men, we kids would shovel and sweep a path about 6 feet wide down the middle of the street. Then came the icing, and the slide had to be re-iced every evening. (During) the first two rounds of icing nobody was allowed on the slide for they didn't want to get ruts in the soft base. For the icing, a sled with runners about 3 feet apart was used.
"A large barrel would hold about 100 gallons of water and was mounted to the sled. You would start from the bottom of the hill (Franklin Street), and about eight kids like myself would pull this barrel of water, four on each rope, and one of the older fellows would be in charge of the spigot and play out the water. Behind the barrel came a crew of three fellows with brooms to sweep the water out and not let it stand too high.
"Now these bobsleds would hold about 20 (people), all packed tightly and holding onto one another. The fellow that steered the sled did so with his feet and a rope that was fastened to a bar across the front sled that was movable. There was a small rail on both sides that the riders put their feet on, for to let them touch the ground at that speed would give you a broken leg or worse!
"At Division Street, three young men on the back of the sled would push for a start, each jumping on in a fixed order. By the time the bob with its 20 shouting and squealing riders would pass Hamilton Street, the speed would be 35 miles per hour or more.
"Now, on a good night there would be as many as 35 or more bobs on the hill - anything that carried less than 10 was not allowed on the hill for they would be a danger to the fast-traveling, heavy loaded, big bobs. Every cold evening, around 4 p.m., the run would be re-iced and that is how we kids earned our rides on the big bobs by pulling the water barrel sled.
"Nobody had to worry about automobiles crossing the slide as there weren't any. The man with the horse or team watched his chance to cross the slide!"

B.A. Nilsson
in Harmony
By B.A. Nilsson
County couple set an example of sustainable agriculture
for the occasional bellow of an amorous boar, the farm seems
oddly quiet. But weve driven through so much farmland, so
much countryside to get here, the car windows down on this
hot, muggy day, that weve grown accustomed to the rural clamor.
In fact, blackbirds and robins are constantly shrilling, a
flock of hens cackles in the distance, roosters crow, and
every now and then an 800-pound sow named Grumpy lets loose
with a basso sigh.
Shes a Gloucestershire Old Spot, a heritage breed so old
it predates such record keeping, and one thats known for
its particularly delicious ham and bacon. And thats why shes
here, dining on organic grains and vegetables, sampling the
best-quality hay, living in a style of comfort as different
as can be imagined from the way your last ham-supplying pig
was raised.
And thats the purpose of this pig. She may weigh in as the
most obvious occupant of the pastures of this farm called
dharma lea, but shes just one element in a harmony of husbandry
that includes a way of human life as well.
French philosopher Rene Guenon defines dharma as the essential
nature of a being, comprising the sum of its particular qualities
or characteristics, and determining, by virtue of the tendencies
or dispositions it implies, the manner in which this being
will conduct itself, either in a general way or in relation
to each particular circumstance. Lea is an Old English
term for a meadow or garden.
wasnt an epiphany or anything, says Phyllis Van Amburgh,
but we did think carefully to find a name for our farm that
best reflected our intentions. The farm, which she owns and
operates with her husband, Paul, covers 174 acres in the Montgomery
County town of Sprakers. They lease another 140 acres nearby.
Grumpy is but one of eight sows, most of which are crosses
of Old Spots and Tamworths, another heritage breed known for
its leaner meat. While Grumpy snoozes by the nearest fence,
the others are scattered throughout the muddy pasture. And
there seem to be piglets galore, trotting about in groups
of three or four, paying no heed to the hens strutting alongside,
exploring the bug-rich ground.
Beef cattle graze in another pasture, a herd of 15 English
Hereford, whose grain-free diet, completely different from
industrially processed supermarket beef, produces meat with
a markedly better flavor.
And, whether youre enjoying beef, pork or chicken from this
farm, youre dining on meat free of the chemicals forced upon
the creatures both to provoke quicker-than-normal growth (and
passing those growth hormones along to you) and to compensate
antibiotically for the filthy conditions in which the animals
are raised.
Although Phyllis and Paul both grew up in rural towns in the
Albany area; they were headed in different career directions
when they met. Paul was sales manager for a glove importing
company, while Phyllis was studying occupational therapy and
working in a pediatricians office.
was seeing a tremendous number of food-allergy cases among
children, says she, which coincided with the rise of pervasive
developmental delay, a condition that falls under the autism
At the same time, she and Paul were taking care of a farm
in Rensselaer County, where Phyllis, always an equine enthusiast,
was raising draft horses. So we often went to draft-horse
events, which bring together traditional farmers who use horses,
rotate crops and grow organically, and are very interested
in health issues. It wasnt long before the light went on
and I realized that I was seeing evidence of the harmful effects
of corporate farming upon children.
Sustainable agriculture includes the processing of the meat,
which led the Van Amburghs to work with a nearby company,
Northeast Livestock Processing Service Co., to find the best
slaughterhouses, which is a challenge for the small farmer
who still wants to merit U.S. Department of Agriculture approval.
Employing a quality-control middleman gives the small farms
like dharma lea what is essentially collective-bargaining
power, and thus better access to the processors.
You can see the result in the recently expanded meat department
at Albanys Honest Weight Food Co-Op, where dharma leas kielbasa,
chorizo, bacon and hot dogs are among the offerings. You can
also see it right at the farm, where youre encouraged to
pick up your order.
Pork products include the usual chops and ribs, hams and roasts,
as well as a sausage variety that includes sage-rich breakfast
links and sweet or hot Italian-style blends. Turkeys are soon
to be added to the poultry variety (dont forget the fresh
eggs), and the first round of beef processing is set to begin
needs to be neighborly, says Sarah Johnston, executive director
of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York,
and thats a criteria for a good organic farm. Youd enjoy
living next door to it because their animals are raised on
pasture and you know that their kids are petting them up to
the animals last days. NOFA-NY is a consortium of farmers
and gardenersand consumers as wellintent on creating and
maintaining a sustainable food system thats not only ecologically
sound but also economically viable. Many people are still
largely unaware of the nightmares that are part of raising
cheap meat in this country. Paul and Phyllis understand the
benefits to the consumer of grass-fed meats.
Farming is a tougher-than-ever career, thanks to a corporate-sponsored
model that has compromised sound techniques in the pursuit
of lowest-possible pricing. To eat well used to mean to eat
until youre fat, but weve done that as a culture and were
suffering for it. To eat well should now mean to eat responsibly,
and sustainable, chemical-free agriculture is the only model
that makes any sense.
Theres also a less-tangible moral aspect to a model in which
the animals you eat live in peace and comfort, as was clearly
the case in the barns and pastures at dharma lea. Perhaps
thats why it seemed so quiet.
here for a list of recently reviewed restaurants.
of the best in-state summer trips is a tour of
the Finger Lakes wine country, where you can set
up in a bed and breakfast and travel the length

by visiting the New York Wine and Culinary
Center in Canandaigua (right on the lake,
in fact). This newly opened facility features
a training kitchen, a 44-seat demonstration theater,
and a tasting room featuring the best of the states
wine. There is also the Taste of New York Lounge,

you eaten at any
recently reviewed restaurants?
Agree or disagree with B.A.? Let us know what you think...
very much enjoyed eating dinner at Daniel's
at Ogdens. You review described my dining
experience perfectly. This wasn't the case
with Pancho's. I much prefer Garcia's or
Lake View Tavern for Mexican fare. I agree
that a restaurant can have an off night
so I'll give the second unit on Central
Avenue a try.
yes I miss the star ratings, bring it back.
Second, I haven't had a chance to visit
Poncho's yet, but I especially like reading
the reviews.
East Greenbush
would travel to Amsterdam to this restaurant
- it's not that far away. People traveled
from all over to eat at Ferrandi's in Amsterdam.
From his background, I'm sure the chef's
sauce is excellent and that is the most
important aspect of an Italian restaurant.
Sometimes your reviewer wastes words on
the negative aspects of a restaurant. I'm
looking forward to trying this restaurant
- I look forward to Metroland every Thursday
especially for the restaurant review. And
by the way Ferrandi's closed its Amsterdam
location and is opening a new bistro on
Saratoga Lake - Should be up and running
in May. It will be called Saratoga Lake
Bistro. It should be great!

is my favorite cuisine available in the
area--I loved Tandoor Palace. We all agreed
that the tandoori chicken was superior to
other local restaraunts, and we also tried
the ka-chori based on that intriguing description-delicious.
comments about the Indian / Pakistani restaurants
being as "standardized as McDonald's"
shows either that you have eaten at only
a few Indian / Pakistani restaurants or
that you have some prejudices to work out.
That the physical appearances are not what
you would consider fancy dancy has no bearing
on the food. And after all, that is what
the main focus of the reviews should be.
Not the physical appearances, which is what
most of your reviews concentrate on.
A restaurant like The Shalimar, down on
Central Avenue, may not look the greatest,
but the food is excellent there. And the
menu has lots of variety - beef, lamb, vegetarian,
chicken, and more..

Mastram is a fictional biopic of an erotica writer set in the '80s who was very popular in north India. It's also about the hypocrisy of society and how they react to him.
What made you want to tell his story?
I was a big fan of his novels in my early teens. I found the books very interesting.
Is making a fictional biopic more challenging than other films?
It's difficult to create a life out of nowhere, when you have no document to be inspired by. All we had was myths about this man.
Who are your filmi gurus?
I don't think I have a style, but am influenced by Martin Scorsese and Anurag Kashyap.
How tough is marketing indie flicks?
For a small film with new actors, content is the hero. So, word of mouth becomes an important factor.
Was it very difficult getting producers for the film?
Not for me, since I knew them from Wasseypur. They liked the script and felt it was a story that could be told.
Or do you believe sex sells?
Let's hope. You can create hype but only when the audience connects with the story does it all fall into place.
Do you think there will be any censor issues?
I think at times censors are judgemental and you don't know what will happen to your film. I hope they release my film without cuts.
Were there objections by the Shiv Sena?
They objected to a tagline on the poster and we had it removed. We don't want to hurt anyone's sentiments and it's not a big deal.
How did your parents react to you dropping out of college?
They are in Bhopal and didn't know until gow that I was into films.

J.J. Moore, shown here as a Pittsburgh player celebrating a victory over Syracuse on Feb. 2, is eligible to play for Rutgers this season after being granted a hardship waiver by the NCAA on Thursday.
- Filed Under
The biggest unsettled piece to the puzzle fell into place for Rutgers men's basketball Thursday when the NCAA granted a hardship waiver to Pittsburgh transfer J.J. Moore, making the senior wing eligible to play immediately.
Moore figures to make a sizable impact as the starter at small forward. He might be the team's second-best player after standout guard Myles Mack.
The 6-foot-6 Moore averaged 8.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 18 minutes per game as Pitt's sixth man last season. Aside from his versatility and athleticism, Moore brings experience and leadership to a team with just one other ...

After 12 years and eight months on the run in Mexico, a man suspected in the brutal slaying of a one-time Ukiah neighbor could find himself facing the death penalty now that he's in the hands of Mendocino County authorities.
Charges lodged Friday against Jerred Raymond Hernandez, 32, include first-degree murder with special circumstances that could mean a death sentence or life imprisonment without possibility of parole if he's convicted.
Hernandez's arrest and pending prosecution bring to a close one of the lengthiest and most complex manhunts for Ukiah police, Chief Chris Dewey said.
The arrest also brings some closure to the family of Michael Williamson, who was killed in his parents' home, said father Norman Williamson, 89.
"We're a close, happy family and you can imagine what this does for us to have this resolved," the elder Williamson said.
Just this week, the family gathered at their Carolyn Drive house to celebrate the joint birthdays of Michael, who would have turned 57, and his younger brother Dan, as they do most years, Norman Williamson said.
But this year, with Hernandez in custody, the family celebrated with a new sense of relief they have not felt since Michael Williamson was killed Aug. 2, 2000.
"We learned to live with our lives. Our faith supported us through it, but it is nice to have it resolved," Williamson said.
Firefighters found Williamson bludgeoned to death in the home, which had also been burglarized, police said. The suspect apparently set a small fire, which mainly caused smoke damage.
Hernandez, who was 19 at the time and living around the corner, was quickly identified as a suspect through physical evidence and several statements from family members and acquaintances, Detective Rick Pintane said.

fieldSENSE Public product summary
fieldSENSE Public is a personal RF monitor designed to protect non-RF workers from accidental EMF overexposure. Property owners hosting BTS sites can ensure a safe RF environment for contractors and maintenance staff.
Here's a quick feature summary:
- Affordable & competitively priced.View pricing info.
- Indicates RF field strength using bright LED's
- Very simple single button operation: no RF knowledge necessary.
- Loud alarm will warn in case of EMF overexposure danger.
- Uncomplicated, robust and reliable.
- Calibrated to ICNIRP Occupational reference levels.
Using the fieldSENSE Public
"Measure mode"
When aproaching a base station site, the worker may use fieldSENSE Public in "measure" mode to ensure that he/she is not overexposed.
In "Measure" mode the field strength is measured continuously. A level indicator bar provides visual feedback of the exposure levels as the instrument is moved around.
The user can pinpoint sources of RF radiation and confirm that specific base station sectors have been shut down, or are transmitting reduced power levels so that can it be considered safe to approach and complete a required task.
"Monitor mode"
After confirming that relevant sectors have been powered down, fieldSENSE Public can be switched to 'monitor' mode and mounted in a suitable position and orientation.
fieldSENSE continuously monitors the RF radiation levels and will alert the worker in the case of significant exposure changes. The worker is alerted by both an audio alarm and a visual alarm on the level indicator bar.
Technical information
International Exposure Limits
The unit is calibrated to the ICNIRP Public reference levels. Please visit http://www.icnirp.org/cms/upload/publications/ICNIRPemfgdl.pdf for more information about ICNIRP standards.
Frequency bands
The operational frequency range is limited to bands commonly used for mobile telecommunications.
Omni-directional, linear polarisation
The fieldSENSE device should be held upright when being used to locate sources of EMF radiation. This will ensure that the omnidirectional, vertically polarised field probe will provide the user with a conservative measurement of the exposure at that position, also for cross-polarized BTS antennas. In monitor mode, the fieldSENSE should also mounted vertically to ensure correct operation.
User interface and operation
A single button toggles between user modes and power-on/off. The display and processing of measured data is limited to that which is required to make informed on-site decisions and take the necessary precautions.
The device features a durable design intended for everyday use, and is compact enough to fit easily into the pocket of the user. The rubbery outer sleeve offers improved grip and protects the fieldSENSE against mechanical shock and impact.
A lanyard can be used to secure the fieldSENSE around the wrist of the user and thus minimise the risk of dropping the device. A standard tripod socket at the bottom can be used to mount the fieldSENSE on a tripod when used in monitor mode.
For more technical information please download the fieldSENSE datasheet here.

From a workshop in downtown Los Angeles, Magnus obsessively harvests fragments from donor 911s, grafting them onto vintage frames to create one-off automobiles with the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche but an ethos entirely his own. We feel honoured to present you this video of a true Porsche enthusiast.

A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: Standing a burly 6'4", Liam Neeson was once described by a theatre critic as a "towering sequoia of sex." To say that he has undeniable charisma is certainly accurate, but it is a charisma composed as much of impressive talent as of broken-nosed physical appeal. Bearing both versatility and quiet forcefulness, Neeson has been touted as one of the most compelling actors of the late 20th century.

Editorial: The U.S. can't let Cliven Bundy win his range war
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy is being portrayed by some as a man of principle, an iconoclast who should be admired for his willingness to stand up to the federal government. But in fact he's a petty scofflaw who seems to think that he has the right to pick and choose which rules must be obeyed.

great price for ths top quality ball
By arth
from norfolk
For reliability to maximise each shot and therefore maintain your competitiveness and achieve your objective.
What can I say!
By Lowers
from Northumberland
A ball with a lower spin rate that adds distance to your long shots.What else does it have? The same characteristics as the Pro V1 around the green giving you the same control.Overall a very good product that fits the bill.

Pro V1x - a great ball
By Peter
from Cambridge
I was lucky enough to find a new one on the course and have used the Pro V1x ever since. Great trajectory for all clubs, slightly more distance on drives, less dispersion and seems to wear well. If you can afford [$] for a ball then use this one. It isn't just for single figure players. I have also found that the ball doesn't stray as far so lost balls are rarer.
An excellent product
By Dave
from Oxford
Always used to play in competitions.
Decent Ball for under [$]
Higher flight off the tee than the Pro V1. As a lot of my drives weren't getting quote the flight off the tee I thought I would try the Pro V1x in stead of the standard Pro V1. Played a couple of rounds and am happy that the flight off the driver is higher than before. Much happier.Durability is ok, about what you would expect from a premium ball.
First class ball-as one woulf expect.
Not much difference between V1/V1x. Both good products. I suspect differences dependant on "level" of Golfer. I found little difference.
Direct undercuts Club Pro's Balls
This is the only ball I would use because it is a ball you can believe in. I have used it since its introduction when I was a single figure swinger and have found it to be more accurate than any other ball...both from the fairway and on the green.
titleist pro v1x is one of the best
great spin back

NIXA, Mo. -- An auction on Jan. 29 of property seized from Larry and and Paula Covington raised $60,621. The Covingtons are two of the three people who are serving federal prison terms for embezzling about $750,000 from the City of Nixa.
The city sold the Covingtons' property to recoup some of its losses. The auction company collected $4,574 for its commission and expenses, leaving the city with $56,046.
In a news release, the City of Nixa said its Public Works Department is using some of the items that were seized from the Covingtons. Those include a battery charger, an electric grinder, an electric welder, a tool box, a folding ladder, and some other tools and hardware. The value of those items is about $2,800.
Nixa has also received about $52,000 from Larry Covington's retirement account. That means the total amount of restitution credited to the Covingtons is $112,293. Parts of the embezzlers' sentences are to make restitution of the full $750,000. The Covingtons' co-defendant, David Griggs, has paid $1,320 in restitution.

SAO PAULO (AP) - A Brazilian rancher charged with ordering the 2005 slaying of American nun and Amazon defender Dorothy Stang has been sentenced to 30 years in jail for homicide.
Vitalmiro Bastos de Moura had been tried three times before and sentenced to up to 30 years in prison, but his lawyers appealed and the Supreme Court annulled Moura's latest conviction. The high court said he wasn't given enough time to prepare his defense during the 2010 trial.
Prosecutors contend that Moura and another rancher hired gunmen to kill Stang, who was born in Dayton, Ohio. The defense said there wasn't enough evidence linking Moura to the crime.
The trial that ended late Thursday night took place in a state court in Belem, the capital of the violence-wracked Amazonian state of Para.

I have Kai'li shafts in my 910F as well as all 3 910H's. My one issue I have with these clubs is that they all tend to have a lower flight than I'd like. I know when I was fitted for my 910D3, the Kai'li was quickly ruled out. The RIP that is in my D3 is incredible and I'm absolutely pounding the driver with high, straight shots that are easily 20 yards better than the R7 it replaced.
While distance is great, I'd like to get a similar flight out of both my F & H clubs. Was the Kai'li not my best choice?
If you were fitted for your D3, you should've been fitted for your other woods. Each shaft can perform a little differently from club to club. Like, you may hit the R.I.P. shaft well in your D3, but it may not be the best choice for your 3 wood. The Kai'li could be the right shaft for you, but it's hard telling. It could be, just the SureFit's not dialed in to fit your swing. You should definitely go back to see your Titleist rep to be fitted for the right shafts.
The Kai'li is a high launching shaft for myself. Your best bet would be to go to a certified fitter and tell him/her what you want in terms of ball flight and they'll be best suited to get you there. Everyone loads the shafts differently. I have a shaft that's classified as a mid launching shaft but the way I load it, it launches low. I would've never thought to give the shaft a go, had I not gone and gotten fitted.
Best of luck!

All that's left to do is eat some carbs, hydrate and sleep.
So I'm super psyched for the Brooklyn Half tomorrow. I'm nervous as hell but in a good way. Part of me feels like my goal time is too ambitious for me, the other part feels like it's in my reach but I need to get my head to believe it. Like I should be able to hit my splits if I'm honestly racing it. (I dunno how to explain that any better.)
I had a good omen this morning, I think. I was waiting to cross the street and this guy comes up with his kids and stands next to me, also waiting to cross the street. I've seen him all over my neighborhood. I know his face, so I've always assumed he was a neighbor or something. I always smile at him in that I-don't-really-know-you-but-I'm-not-completely-ignoring-your-existence-type way and go about my business. Well, this morning I was singing "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn" to myself in my head and I realized that this guy standing next to me, that I've seen a million times before, he doesn't live in my building, that's not why he looks familiar, he looks familiar because he's Mike D.
Then the light changed and we were off but I was smiling a real smile to myself because I felt like it was a sign. Yes, in general the Beasty Boys are awesome but in NYC, they are hometown heroes. Furthermore, you play "No Sleep 'till Brooklyn" to a crowd of native Brooklynites who were alive in the 80's and they go effing bananas.
That's all.
Happy Friday, Loop!
I ramble...
Good Luck tomorrow!
Go get it! And sneak a photo next time, stalker.
Good luck tomorrow. I think you'll get your PR.
They'd kick me out of the city if I started taking photos of celebs
Don't tell anyone but I did think about it...
Best to you at the race.
And, Cool to meet a " famous person" who ever that guy is.
On a kind of related topic, only because of where you are, Will you be going to visit the 9/11 memorial anytime soon?
"I may not be handsome, but I am loved."
Probably not.
that's freaking awesome!!!
beastie boys as a pump-up song before the race??!
oh! and good luck- but i already know you're going to rock it!
Best wishes to you.
Rock on and keep on running.....
"I always smile at him in that I-don't-really-know-you-but-I'm-not-completely-ignoring-your-existence-type way and go about my business." I love how New Yorkers have that down to a science. It doesn't work so well in the south. People start talking to you. It happened to me the other day in the elevator and it totaly through me off. Good luck on your race.
Looks like you're in the zone and nobody will break the gameface.
Here's hoping all the uncontrollables fall into place and you crush it.
I always feel like I'm not nice enough when I travel outside of big cities. Like, I am totally unprepared for someone to start talking to me out of the blue. lol
I just Google his face because I was thinking of the early 90's Mike D and curious about what he looks like now. Um, whoa.... Anyway, I'm always looking for race omens the week before a race. Yours happens to be infinitely more awesome than any I've encountered. Have fun tomorrow and go crush your A goal!!!
LOL Yeah. The years hit him hard.
Its almost game-face time. Good luck!
It was a sign for sure
It was a sign for sure! And if you see this comment in time, good luck!
Hope you had a good race today!!!
Run on everyone.....................Steve

For more than 30 years, Earth Day has been celebrated worldwide by those who want to live in an environment that's as clean and as free of pollution as possible. While many significant strides have been made since 1970 - such as carmakers reducing the amount of toxic emissions released into the air through various technologies - bumper-to-bumper traffic is one of the leading causes of air pollution. And in 2013, the roads were heavily packed with automobiles, according to newly released data.
After declining for two years, congestion on the world's roadways recently increased - and at a faster pace than gross domestic product, international driver services company INRIX reported. For example, the U.S. GDP rose by about 2% last year, but congestion grew in the nation by about 6% versus 2012.
Bryan Mistele, president and CEO of the Kirkland, Wash.-based traffic information firm, noted that while on one hand this is a good thing - suggesting the economy is moving along - it can set some of the advances made in reducing pollution back.
"If we're to avoid traffic congestion becoming a further drain on our economies, we must invest in intelligent transportation systems and connected car technologies now," said Mistele. "It's too late to build our way out of congestion - we've learned there is no such thing as 'shovel ready projects.'"
He added that one of the best ways to make the nation's highways less stressed is through the optimization of road networks.
Business owners can play a role as well. In addition to direct ways - such as recommending that workers carpool or use public transportation - entrepreneurs can help through indirect strategies by reducing their company's carbon footprint. Selective makes this easy through its GreenPac® enhancement to business insurance plans. After sustaining a loss, this package provides one's company with the green or sustainable equivalents to replace what's been damaged.
