- Channel: Auction House
Presented is an exquisite pair of French porcelain lamps made by Sevres between 1870-1910. The porcelain is glazed a beautiful, bold cobalt blue and with lovely, gilded flourishes all over. Each lamp has a fantastic, hand painted genre scene on either side. One lamp has a beautiful landscape painting of a lovely tree over a placid lake with small cottage on the other side and a painting of a young man gently tickling the nose of a sleeping girl with a straw of hay. The other lamp has a landscape with a similar tree overlooking a body of water that has a forest on the other side and a painting of a young man with his arms around a girl, holding a small flute up to her lips as if he is teaching her how to play. The paintings on these lamps are so fine, that you can hardly see any brush strokes. The photographs do not fully show quality of these paintings. Everything is hand done on both pieces. T are no transfers etc.
The bases are made of metal and were probably added around the 1950s.
Underneath the base, the bottoms of the lamps are marked Sevres. The bases need to be removed to see the marks.
T are numerous chips at the bottom of each lamp, caused by an old pull-string with a heavy ball end knocking into the lamps; the string has been removed and the chips can certainly be touched up, especially by professional restoration. The lamps are in excellent overall condition. T is a minor scratch or abrasion on three of the four oval painted panels. T are no other chips, no cracks, no breaks, no splits, no repairs and no other problems of any kind.
Each lamp measures 33 inches tall. The porcelain portion alone is 19 1/2 inches tall.

Good things will happen if Sooners keep the same frame of mind
NORMAN — The Oklahoma football team returns Saturday to the public stage for the first time since New Orleans.
When last we saw the Sooners, they played football the way Jerry Lee Lewis played piano. The way Russell Westbrook plays hoops. Take no prisoners. Someone going to the boneyard.
The Sooners ran onto the Superdome turf like Braveheart and never left character. Turns out, not a bad way to play a ballgame. Aggressive. Confident. Determined. The Sooners swung their swords all night long and left 45-31 Sugar Bowl winners over mighty Alabama.
Two questions. From where did that frame of mind come? And how do the Sooners keep it?
Those New Orleans Sooners weren't who we saw much of the 2013 season. Not in attitude. The Sooners consistently tried to tip-toe to victory. Home games against West Virginia and Iowa State, road game at Kansas, even the emotional wringer of the Cotton Bowl against Texas. The Sooners played those games like they were trying to avoid landmines. Coaches, too. OU did its best to not be noticed.
Then the Sooners seemed to realize that wasn't working. They played with a sense of resiliency at Manhattan and pulled a minor upset. They played with conviction and resolve at Stillwater and pulled a major upset. They played with their hair on fire in New Orleans and shocked the sporting world.
"That was just from being called the underdog, and you feel a little disrespected," said OU defensive lineman Chuka Ndulue. "This is Oklahoma. We're not the underdogs. We bought into that, coaches preached that and it showed on the field."
I can buy that. A we're-mad-and-we're-not-going-to-take-it-anymore feeling can change anyone's demeanor. A season's frustration – a miserable outing against Texas, sparked by an anemic coaches' gameplan, and a series of mundane performances – boiled over and begat desperation. A good game against Kansas State led to a great game against OSU, and that Bedlam bonanza led to the belief that something special could happen against 'Bama.
Bob Stoops said that kind of feeling doesn't appear all of a sudden. "We earned it through the last four games of the year, particularly on the road to Manhattan, on the road to Stillwater, and then coming into the bowl game, the way we prepared and worked," Stoops said. "The guys felt they had earned the right to carry that kind of confidence and play that way."
The transformation was remarkable. The Sooners played with a swagger that had been missing for many moons.
"We try to get better every game," said pass rusher Eric Striker, who played the William Wallace role in the Sugar Bowl. "That was like the motto. If you don't get better every game, that's no progress. So that was our progress. Get better every game. You get a little bit more swagger, the better you do, the little bit more confidence. That's where that came from."
Maybe it was a perfect storm of success meeting opportunity. Had the stars not aligned and placed OU in the Sugar Bowl, had the Sooners been assigned Missouri in JerryWorld or Oregon in the Alamodome, maybe the Braveheart attitude doesn't develop.
But OU got a chance at Alabama, and the SEC, in the SEC's territorial grounds of New Orleans. And the Sooners sang the song of angry men. Can they stay angry? Can the beating of their heart echo the beating of the drums?
The Sooners can't play the disrespect card.
"I have a feeling they won't be calling us the underdogs, but we've got to remember that last year no one gave us a chance," Ndulue said, "and we should keep that mentality going and everything will be good."
It's not easy to stay Braveheart. Relaxation usually follows revolution. If it was easy, all teams that find that mystical swagger would keep it.
"You have a chance to carry that from after that game, the way so many of these guys are back," Stoops said. "They're projecting that confidence and leadership the way they went through winter and what they're doing now … it has a chance to carry through the summer to have a great summer and to build for next year. It should anyway."
That's Stoops' job. Keep the hearts brave. Keep the hair ablaze. Keep the boneyard fresh in every Sooner mind.

Cape Verde shock favourites Angola
MASSIVE underdogs Cape Verde scored two late goals to snatch a dramatic 2-1 win over Angola and qualify for the quarterfinals of the African Nations Cup.
Angola took the lead when Nando deflected into his own net on 33 minutes
And it put them into the last eight after South Africa drew 2-2 with Morocco in the other Group A match in Durban.
Angola took the lead when Nando deflected into his own net on 33 minutes.
Late goals in both games changed everything in the final minutes as Cape Verde secured second place in the group behind South Africa.
The Cape Verde islands are the smallest country ever to compete at an African Nations Cup. They had never qualified for a major tournament before and coach Lucio Antunes is on leave from his job as an air-traffic controller.

This system was bringing some mid and high clouds areas south of Interstate 94. Meanwhile a 1024 mb surface high located over southern Ontario kept the low levels dry. Dew points this afternoon ranged from the upper 20s to upper 30s. Finally, another short wave trough was located over central Minnesota. This system was bringing clouds to areas north of Interstate 94. For tonight and Saturday, the short wave to our south will move east into the Ohio River Valley and the short wave over central Minnesota will move southeast through the Upper Mississippi River Valley. With the Canadian high continuing to bring very dry air into the region, not anticipating any precipitation from either of these systems. With skies becoming mostly sunny on Saturday afternoon, temperatures will warm into the mid and upper 70s. There may be even a few lower 80s in the river valleys. Like the past couple of days, the model dew points look too high, so lowered them by 5F. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 256 PM CDT Fri May 20 2016 On Sunday afternoon, the combination of mostly to partly sunny skies and 850 mb temperatures in the 10 to 13C will allow temperatures to warm to around 80F. In addition, soundings continue to show that there will be plenty of dry aloft to mix to the surface. This will likely lower the dew points into the lower to mid 40s which is about 5F below MOS. This will cause the afternoon relative humidity values to fall into 25 to 35 percent range. From late Sunday night through Tuesday morning, the models continue to show that a long wave trough will move slowly east through the Upper Mississippi. The best chance of rain will be on Monday afternoon and night. Like the past 3 days, the ECMWF continue to suggest that the best synoptic forcing and 850 mb moisture transport will be north and south of the forecast area. As a result, still a bit concerned that the precipitation chances may be a bit too high along the front in the Upper Mississippi River Valley. In addition to this, the models continue to differ on the potential instability ahead of this system. The GFS continues to have the highest mixed layer CAPES with values around 1500 J/kg. Meanwhile the ECMWF only has mixed layer CAPES up to 200 J/kg. With both the 0-3 km and 0-6 km shear less than 25 knots, still not anticipating any severe weather with this front. Beyond this time period, the models have been less consistent. As a result just stayed with the model consensus. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) Issued at 625 PM CDT Fri May 20 2016 High based cumulus in the 8000 to 10000 ft agl layer early this evening will dissipate after sunset with mostly clear skies overnight. Some re-development of afternoon cumulus are possible Saturday afternoon, but bases will be 7000 ft agl or higher. Winds will be light and variable through much of the period, increasing only slightly from the north at KLSE and the northeast at KRST after 21.16z. && .ARX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WI...None.

I played the game for about 40 hours the first week that it came out, beating the game and catching all the legendaries. I even defeated N. Then I've played it 20 hours since. I've completed most of the Unova game, but I play Pokemon white more. I've logged about 400 hours in that game, I mainly just trade and battle competitively in that game.
I thought that Black 2 was one of the harder Pokemon games. Ghetsis proved to be really hard, and getting through Victory Road took a log time as well. Also, it took m e hours to defeat N's Zekrom in Pokemon Black 2 because it was on such a high level. I had to find a hydreigon, train it, then I was finally able to defeat Zekrom with many hyper potions. It also too kme forever to catch Mespirit. :p

Undercounter Refrigerator
I am trying to buy small beverage refrigerator that I would like in my kitchen. So should I buy an undercounter refrigerator or a free standing beverage center. What is the difference between the two and do I need new electrical wiring in my kitchen for it?
As lond as you have a 20 amp outlet to plug in to you should be good to go. The other comes down to personal preference.

A nourishing elixir that treats the hair & scalp to maximize hair's potential length. Helps treat the scalp, prevent breakage and condition the lengths of the hair, leaving strands soft and smooth.
I love this exlixir - I have very fine long hair and I do whatever I can to keep it healthy as changes with age happen. I don't have any specific problems with hair loss, but I do notice that after using this daily for two months, I have had a noticeable increase in my hair length. I actually end up needing a trim before my scheduled appointment with my stylist. My hair also seems healthier, which I attribute to the scalp nourishing component. I just wish it came in a larger size.
Massage a pea-sized amount of Lengthening Hair & Scalp Elixir into the scalp and work through the lengths of damp, freshly cleansed hair. Do not rinse. For thicker, coarser hair types, follow with Re-Texturizing Protein Cream, working a small amount of product through the lengths of damp hair.

I recently upgraded WordPress to 2.3.2 and upgraded cforms to this latest version. When I went to re-arrange my widgets on the sidebar of my theme, I could not move them to and from the sidebar. I disabled plugins one by one and could only restore sidebar widget functionality after removing this plugin.
Is this a known issue? I'm not really using the cforms II sidebar widget. Is there a way to remove that particular function so it doesn't break my sidebar?

Funding via CIDRE
She is currently living with her parents but is looking for an "anticrético" room (see below for a definition of "anticrético") nearer her work, as this is some distance from her parents' house, to help her save both time and money.
She will use the requested loan to pay the rent on the room where she hopes to live. ("Anticrético" is a legally binding contract of two years' duration, in which the landlord allows an individual or family to live in a room or whole apartment for a sum of money paid in advance, which will be returned to the tenant at the end of the contract.)
This is the first loan she has requested from Impro, which has been assessed favorably.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

This is a first, me doing a pre-trippie
OK, as usual there will be me ......... Wendy and DH .......... Chris.
All I have done is finally booked the flights. I am amazed that there were still some flying club seats left at this late stage. I managed to use miles and upgrade vouchers and I got 2 premium economy seats for £477.52 :207: :207: If they hadn't been available we wouldn't have been going anywhere this year so as you can imagine I am really really happy
We are going on the 21st September and won't be home until 12th October
The things I need to do asap are:
Book the Hilton for the night before.
Book flights from Gatwick to Plymouth on the 12th October.
Find somewhere to stay - I'm not 100% sure what we will do yet, Chris would really like to go down to the Keys for a while, so I'm thinking maybe stay at a villa or possibly onsite for a week, go down to Keys and Everglades for a while and then back to a villa.
Book the rental car.
Already got annual insurance.
We have annual passes so we don't need Disney tickets.
I can't think of anything else - any ideas

Fans of the Grateful Dead feeling bummed about not getting to attend the final Dead series of concerts recently, might consider the alternative of going to check out George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic who are currently on a summer tour that includes some free shows in New York City this week. As anyone like myself who has ever witnessed concerts by both Jerry Garcia's beloved band and by the Godfather of Funk's various funk incarnations (Parliament / Funkadelic / P-Funk All Stars) will attest, both share an approach to concerts that tend towards long extended jams that are related to "the One." So if you were among those Deadheads disappointed to not get to attend either the two anniversary Dead shows last month in Santa Clara, CA or this month's sold-out (and expensive) show series at Chicago's Soldier Field, where the four remaining members of the Grateful Dead - Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann - performed together reportedly for the last time, then I say honor Jerry and the Dead by going to see George and Parliament Funkadelic.
Book Passage and Amoeba Music welcome Peter Richardson to Book Passage Corte Madera to sign his new book No Simple Highway: A Cultural History of the Grateful Dead on January 28th at 7pm.
For almost three decades, the Grateful Dead was America's most popular touring band. While their albums sold well over time, the group never had a number one song, and they cracked the top ten only once—more than two decades after their formation. Why did they become one of the world's most legendary bands?
Now, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the band's creation, No Simple Highway is the first book to answer this deceptively simple question. Drawing on new research, interviews, and material from the Grateful Dead archives, No Simple Highway vividly recounts the Dead's colorful history, adding new insight into everything from the acid tests to the band's formation of their own record label to their massive late career success, while probing the riddle of the Dead's vast and durable appeal.

With the glut of great garage rock bands in San Francisco, Cool Ghouls have their work cut out for them. Luckily for us, the young lads have tunes and energy for days, pouring out of their recently released self-titled debut in the form of country-rock licks, hippie harmonies and an infectious, sunny attitude. These aren't poseurs trying to seem laid-back; songs like "Ballin'" are packed with little whiskey-soaked riffs and suddenly harmonic choruses, while "Natural Life" features subtle horns that give its summertime vibes added depth. Recorded by The Fresh & Onlys' Tim Cohen, it's a more-than-worthy entry into the S.F. psych-rock/garage rock canon. The band comes to L.A.'s The Smell Saturday June 8, with L.A. faves Dirt Dress, Santoros and Them Howling Bones. Additionally, they'll be at Phono Del Sol in S.F. July 13 and San Francisco Psych Fest Aug. 3. I quickly caught up with the band, made up of Pat Thomas (bass), Ryan Wong (guitar), Pat McDonald (singer/guitar) and Alex Fleshman (drums), all between the ages of 21 and 24, as they gathered around the phone in their Oakland home.
PST: Let's start with the name. Was it a joke, is there a specific meaning?
McDonald: We got the name from a live DVD of Parliament Funkadelic playing sometime in the '70s. That's how George Clinton addressed the crowd.
April 20 is almost here and you know what that means... RECORD STORE DAY!!! Our favorite holiday, celebrating the glorious musical community of independent record stores! Real record stores are where music lives and thrives, and anyone who works or shops at a neighborhood record store deserves their very own day of glory.
For Amoeba it's one of our best days of the year, when we throw open our doors and welcome one of the biggest communities of music lovers ever assembled under one roof. YOU ARE Record Store Day!
Of course there are hundreds of exclusive RSD releases, and folks line up hours in advance to grab the rarest of the rare. This year features the biggest lineup of exclusive releases yet, featuring records by everyone from The Cure to the Grateful Dead to Notorious B.I.G.. As always, line up early to snag those exquisite jams! The Coffee Bean is providing coffee for the early birds at Amoeba Hollywood, so they'll keep you nice and caffeinated that morning.
But it's more than just the RSD releases. We've been saving up treats and collections and goodies and rare stuff for months, and it's all hitting the floor on April 20th. It'll be a bonanza you won't want to miss! Our pricers and our warehouse staff have been prepping tons of rare records, posters, DVDs, books, 45s, toys and collectables, and piling it high in the warehouse in preparation for the big day. We're putting out bins and bins of fresh CDs in every department. Boxes and boxes of fresh 45s. It's like a whole holiday shopping season in one day and you're a part of it!
Head to the Vinyl Beat website to check out extensive LP label guides and wild cover galleries!
Eric Christensen has made an entertaining and informative documentary called The Cover Story about iconic album covers and how they came to fruition. There are interviews and stories with a number of the photographers and designers such as Bob Seidemann (Blind Faith), Henry Diltz (Morrison Hotel, Crosby Stills & Nash, Eagles), Mouse (Grateful Dead), and Jim Marshall (Allman Brothers and hundreds of others). Along the way he also interviews such rock luminaries as Nick Lowe, Ray Manzarek, Huey Lewis, Elvis Costello, and Sammy Hagar. There's also a very intimate chat with Yoko Ono where she talks about John's blood smeared glasses, etc. It is also a hoot to see a psychedelic Amoeba SF in the introduction.

Support These Artisans!The grass-roots growth of small producers turning out wonderful foods across this great land just keeps accelerating. We sampled everything from superb burrata (mozzarella taken to a higher, creamier level) to a gluten-free baking mix that yielded muffins every bit as delicious as their gluten-based counterparts.
Most items can be ordered online. Shipping can be expensive (and not exactly green), so we favored products that deliver great value, make special gifts, or are truly representative of their region.
We did not focus on low-fat foods for the simple reason that when the quality is high, the quantity can go down: A sliver of the pancetta pictured opposite is more satisfying than three pieces of regular bacon.
Thanks to our regional food experts: Belinda Ellis, Jenn Garbee, Jill Silverman Hough, Hanna Raskin, Robin Schempp, Marilou Suszko, and Laura Taxel
Best in Meat: New HampshireNorth Country Smokehouse Cottage Bacon ($30 for 4 [12-ounce] packages)
Taken from the center of the pork butt rather than the fatty belly, this bacon is sweet and perfectly smoky with just a slight hint of maple-y goodness. Produced by a family-owned smokehouse.
Best in Meat: WisconsinBolzano Artisan Meats Pancetta (from $10.50, 414-426-6380)
Milwaukee-based producer Scott Buer uses traditional dry-curing methods, extending the process to 30 days for added depth of flavor. There's a silky sweetness here that makes it one of the finest pancettas we have ever been lucky enough to taste.
Best in Meat: North CarolinaJohnston County Hams Curemaster's Reserve ($30 for 3 [8-ounce] sampler packages)
Meat from Hungarian heritage breed Mangalitsa hogs is fatty, rich, and slightly gamey. Don't hide this ham in a sandwich—its creamy texture will remind you of better prosciutto.
Best in Meat: WashingtonGerard & Dominique Smoked Scallops ($46 for a 1-pound package)
These plump jewels are fished from Alaskan waters and smoked in small batches near Seattle; then they arrive ready to crown a salad or lend a sweet note to an antipasti plate. Their concentrated scallop flavor and firm texture reveal a perfect touch by the smoker.
Best in Beer & Spirits: CaliforniaNapa Valley Vodka ($65 for 750 ml)
Now here is a gift to give the liquor nut in your life (perhaps one whom you owe a big favor—this is no cheap vodka). Sweetly sippable with hints of herbs and grass, it reveals its wine-country origins: This extraordinary vodka comes not from potatoes or grain, but from sauvignon blanc grapes harvested from a single vineyard.
Note: Local laws may mean liquor has to be sourced through distributors in some states.
Best in Beer & Spirits: North CarolinaCardinal Gin ($30 for 750 ml at multiple N.C. locations, online ordering coming soon)
This truly small-batch distillery—they produced only 5,000 cases last year—is located in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Thirty-year-old twin brothers, Charlie and Alex Mauney, have developed a Western-style gin (less juniper, more of other flavorings) that hits with a strong, clean nose of pine.
Note: Local laws may mean liquor has to be sourced through distributors in some states.
Best in Beer & Spirits: CaliforniaThe Bruery Trade Winds Tripel ($11 for 750 ml, available in 21 states)
Patrick Rue, the 31-year-old owner of The Bruery in Orange County, brings an experimental, Californian sensibility to his higher-alcohol, Belgian-style, bottle-conditioned beers: Trade Winds uses rice in the mash, which makes for an especially crisp and refreshing light-bodied beer. A touch of Thai basil and a lemony nose make it a gorgeous accompaniment for fish.
Note: Local laws may mean liquor has to be sourced through distributors in some states.
Best in Cheese: CaliforniaGioia Cheese Burrata ($7 for 1 pound)
Until Gioia opened, burrata—mozzarella stuffed with curd and heavy cream—was difficult to find domestically. Now it's a chef's darling—wonderful in a roasted beet salad or simply drizzled with olive oil on its own.
Best in Cheese: North CarolinaLooking Glass Creamery Ellington ($15 minimum order)
A creamy, aged goat cheese with a bloomy rind and smoky ash that evokes a delicious hint of truffle and damp forest floor. Produced by Jennifer and Andy Perkins on their small farm in the North Carolina mountains.
Best in Cheese: CaliforniaBellwether Farms Whole Jersey Ricotta ($8 for 12-ounce basket)
Sweet, creamy proof that ricotta can be so much more than lasagna filler. Tastes of sweet milk with rich, creamy mouthfeel. Toss with hot pasta, or spread on toasted whole-grain bread.
Best in Cheese: VermontVermont Butter & Cheese Creamery Cremont ($10 for 5 ounces)
This double-cream chèvre is derived from a blend of cow's cream with cow's and goat's milk. Smooth and velvety with a wallop of cream in a positively unctuous package.
Best in Cheese: WisconsinCrave Brothers Petit Frère ($10.25 for 1/2 pound)
A subtle washed-rind cow's-milk cheese that quietly announces its presence with a hint of musty barnyard funk on the palate, not the nose. Smooth texture with a slightly bitter rind and a silky center.
Best in Condiments: VermontWood's Cider Mill Boiled Cider ($7.50 for 16 ounces)
Wood's Cider Mill has produced this syrupy condiment (basically reduced apple cider) since 1882. It adds a sweetly tart tang to everything from pancakes to pork chops.
Best in Condiments: ColoradoGrampa's Gourmet Tamarisk Honey ($12 for 11½ ounces)
Brent Edelen, a sixth-generation beekeeper, produces this fantastic unpasteurized, unfiltered raw honey. More stout than sweet, it has notes of molasses and coffee and a glassy texture that's clean on the palate. Try a drop or two in hot tea.
Best in Condiments: North CarolinaKerala Curry Curried Lemon ($4.50 for 9 ounces)
South India native (now Pittsboro resident) Ann Varkey began bottling her line of chutneys and curries in 2002. The curried lemon is intense and earthy with an authentic kick. Instantly enlivens grilled meats.
Best in Condiments: MinnesotaLucille's Kitchen Garden Minnesota Mead Jelly ($8 for 8 ounces)
Zoie and Amy Glass create jams and jellies to accompany savory foods like salty prosciutto or creamy chèvre. The Minnesota Mead features a blend of local honeys. Hints of sweet wine flavor shine through with just a bit of balancing acidity.
Best in Condiments: HawaiiVolcano Island Honey Organic Silk Honey ($23 for 8 ounces)
Harvested from a single grove of kiawe trees on the Big Island, this honey has a thick, creamy, milky texture with lovely sweet floral notes. Like the Tamarisk above, it's also unheated and unfiltered, but these two honeys are on opposite ends of the texture and sweetness spectrum.
Best in Sweets: FloridaWe Take the Cake Key Lime Bundt Cake ($28 for 8-inch cake)
It can be difficult to produce a cake that stands up to shipping, but this one arrived moist, fresh, and tasty. The bakery offers a rotating lineup of flavors, but the burst of fresh citrus in the Key lime variety was like a delicious culinary postcard from sunny Florida.
Best in Sweets: WisconsinPotter's Hazelnut Graham Crackers ($5.50)
Mother-and-son duo Peter and Nancy Potter churn out these flatbread-like crackers in 10 varieties (plus seasonal specialties); we loved the hazelnut graham. A light coating of sugar adds a touch of sweetness and a pretty sparkle. Top with a sharply contrasting blue cheese or a sweet mascarpone.
Best in Sweets: New YorkDufour Puff Pastry ($10 for 1 pound at Whole Foods stores)
Here's a time- and effort-saver that will pass most any picky baker's muster. Quality, buttery dough rises to about eight times its original height, revealing hundreds of thin, puffy, flaky layers.
Best in Sweets: CaliforniaRustic Bakery Chocolate Cacao Nib Shortbread ($6 for 4 ounces)
Wow! A fantastically deep hit of chocolate lurks in these sophisticated shortbread cookies. Nice salty kick, too. Perfect on their own with a cup of coffee.
Best of the Rest: AlabamaThe Pecans! Pecan Butter ($8 for 8 ounces)
As part of the YouthBuild program in the impoverished Black Belt region of Alabama, high school students produce brittle and butter. This is a staggeringly good, fairly loose paste of toasted nuts, honey, and cinnamon. Nice on a cracker or biscuit, but you won't be able to resist eating it straight from the spoon.
Best of the Rest: VermontUrban Moonshine Maple Bitters (from $15 for 2 ounces)
Bitters—tinctures of herbs and roots—were an integral part of early cocktail culture that have recently made a comeback in the fancy bar scene. These bitters are handcrafted from organic ingredients in Burlington with a touch of maple sweetness and a hint of orange.
Best of the Rest: CaliforniaGlobal Gardens Black Currant Champagne Vinegar ($19 for 500 ml)
Theo Stephan makes a variety of oils and vinegars under her Global Gardens label. The black currant vinegar is a great balance of vinegar and fruit—such pure flavor that it needs just a dash of olive oil to make a dressing or marinade.
Best of the Rest: South CarolinaBlenheim Hot Ginger Ale ($24 for 24 [12-ounce] bottles)
Bottled since 1903 and available in regular, hot, and diet options. Our resident ginger ale expert liked the unique hit packed by the hot variety. It's hard to find a good ginger ale that's not too sweet, but this one has plenty of balance. It would take a classic cocktail, such as a Dark and Stormy, to a new place.
Best of the Rest: NebraskaKristen's Gluten-Free Food Cherry and Coffeecake Muffin Mix ($8 for 13 1/4 ounces)
Despite the growth of the gluten-free market, we've found few items that offer the flavor and texture that baked goods should deliver. Not so for this mix from tiny Tekamah, Nebraska, which turns out moist and light muffins and coffee cake. Whole-grain sorghum flour is the first ingredient.

Washington, D.C.� U.S. Senator Kay Hagan issued the following statement in recognition of the anniversary of �Juneteenth Independence Day,� the day the final African-American slaves were freed, more than two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
�On Juneteenth, we pause to commemorate the emancipation of the last slaves in Galveston, Texas and reflect on the suffering and unjust treatment endured by these men and women,� said Senator Hagan. �This day marks the anniversary of the end of a dark chapter in our nation�s history and honors enslaved Americans and the struggle for tolerance, equality, and human rights. It is also a day to reflect on our nation�s progress and a continued reminder to fight injustice wherever it appears.�
Hagan is also an original co-sponsor of a bipartisan resolution, which passed the Senate last week, designating June 19, 2014 as �Juneteenth Independence Day,� recognizing the historical significance of Juneteenth and what it has meant to generations of African Americans for nearly 150 years.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police have surrounded a downtown apartment complex to try to negotiate with man reportedly holed up with some sort of gun.
Sgt. Pete Simpson says officers responded to calls of the man making threats with a rifle or a kind of long-barreled gun. Police have blocked off several downtown blocks.
The man's age or other details were not immediately available.
The Oregonian reports that neighbors describe the man to be in his 50s and a resident of the apartment complex for 20 years.

Morning News and Stuff
Million-dollar homes in OTR?; bill allowing unlicensed concealed carry proposed; South Carolina cop charged with murder over shooting of unarmed man
Good morning y'all. Let's get right to the news. Are million-dollar homes coming to Over-the-Rhine? At least one of the city's big movers and shakers thinks so. Reds owner Bob Castellini made that prediction last night during a speech at Music Hall for the Over-the-Rhine Chamber's annual Star Awards, which spotlights the neighborhood's growth and its business leaders. Castellini is on the board of 3CDC, the developer that is approaching $1 billion in projects completed in the neighborhood and downtown. He's bullish on the idea that the once-neglected neighborhood will continue to see high-price new developments. He highlighted condos in 3CDC's Mercer Commons development that have sold for more than $400,000 as one example of growing interest in high-end living in OTR. Following new development, median household incomes and property values have been going up in the historically low-income neighborhood in the last few years. That's caused a lot of fanfare, but has also stoked fears about gentrification, apprehensions that came up again recently when a developer proposed $400,000 single-family homes in the neighborhood's less-hyped northern area. Some advocates in the neighborhood say there isn't affordable housing there.• Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld is shifting gears in his campaign for U.S. Senate. Sittenfeld's campaign manager Ramsey Reid has left the Democrat's team, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Sittenfeld's campaign says his departure was planned from the beginning and that a new campaign manager and other new hires will be announced shortly. Sittenfeld recently ramped up his team, hiring a spokesman, a finance director and a polling specialist in his underdog primary battle against former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland. Strickland is a heavy favorite to win the primary. He's garnered an endorsement from former President Bill Clinton and is currently polling nine points ahead of Republican incumbent Sen. Rob Portman. Sittenfeld has been steadfast about staying in the race despite pressure from some Democrats to bow out. • If you need proof that the weather here really is a bummer and that you're not just a big whiner, here it is. A new study by a popular meteorology blog called Brian B's Climate Blog shows Cincinnati is ranked 5th in the country for major cities when it comes to dreary weather. The city tied for that… err, honor… with Cleveland and Lexington. Buffalo took the top spot, followed predictably by Seattle, Pittsburgh and Portland. The climate blog considered three factors in its rankings: total number of days with precipitation, total annual precipitation and total annual cloud cover. If you need more anecdotal evidence, just find your nearest window. • A new bill in the Ohio House would allow concealed carry in the state without a license if passed. The bill, proposed by State Rep. Ron Hood of Ashville, has 20 cosponsors and support from State Rep. Ron Arnstutz, the second-most powerful Republican in the House. Lots of dudes named Ron are into this idea, which makes me think of the ultimate Ron. Anyway, the bill would do away with licensing and training requirements for those who want to carry concealed weapons, limiting concealed carry only to those below the age of 21 or people who aren't permitted to have guns due to their criminal background or other legal reasons. Five other states, including Kansas, have already approved unlicensed concealed carry, and 10 more states are considering similar measures. Gun rights groups have applauded the bill, but opponents, including law enforcement groups, say it will make the state less safe. • With bicycle commuting on the rise, both nationally and, I'm hoping, in Cincinnati, do we need better data collection practices from police when it comes to cyclist-car accidents? It seems that way, according to a study by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The study, summarized in this CityLab post, suggests that most data collection methods used by public safety agencies around the country are outdated and don't consider the differences between cars and bikes and don't make allowances for the different situations in which the two could collide. Better data could lead to safer bike infrastructure, the authors of the study say. • Finally, it's almost becoming a sentence in which you can just fill in the blanks with the latest shooter and deceased. Michael Slager, a white police officer in North Charleston, South Carolina shot an apparently unarmed black man named Walter Scott over the weekend. The police incident report says that Scott had the officer's taser and that Slager feared for his life. But a video taken by a bystander contradicts all of that, showing Slager firing eight rounds at Scott as he ran away. After Scott fell to the ground, Slager appears to casually drop something next to him. More officers soon arrived, though none are seen administering the CPR the police report alleges took place. Scott died at the scene. The incident has drawn national attention and a murder charge for Slager — a rarity perhaps brought about by the graphic and shocking video taken by a witness.

Morning News and Stuff
Donors make it rain for Cranley; feds pledge cash for new Cincinnati labs; this man has been in jail for a quarter-century. Is he innocent?
Good morning y'all. I'm fresh off my epic, hour-long alpine adventure, also known as my walk to work. Did you wonder what happened to all the snow that had been on the roadways as you were driving leisurely to work this morning? It's now piled in mountains on the sidewalk by city snowplows. Thanks guys. I do have to say a city worker in a Bobcat drove by yesterday while I was digging my lady friend's car out of the snow. He looped back around and with three or four quick maneuvers did what would have taken me 20 minutes with a shovel. Driving one of those things is an art, and I have met its Picasso. Enough grumbling. It's news time. Mayor John Cranley is, as the kids say, stacking cash (note: kids these days don't actually say that). Cranley collected more than $250,000 at a Feb. 17 fundraiser for his re-election campaign. That may be the biggest haul ever for a city candidate, according to Cranley's campaign, which is all the more impressive because Cranley doesn't face reelection for almost two years. A ton of big names were in attendance at the event, and it seems like the city's movers and shakers are backing the mayor. Reds owner Bob Castellini was a host. So were Western and Southern CEO John Barrett, two members of the Lindner family and PACs from Kroger and Procter & Gamble. Cranley's already got his eye on the election, having hired his campaign manager and setting a fundraising goal of $2 million. That's a huge sum of money, some of which could go to help out allies in their City Council campaigns, though Cranley has said he won't be doing that, focusing the cash on his own bid. Another possibility: Is Cranley setting such ambitious goals as a demonstration of his fundraising abilities so he can set up a bid for a higher office down the road? • The federal government has said it will give $110 million to build a new facility in Cincinnati for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown has been instrumental in securing the funding for the building, which will replace two aging facilities in the city, the Robert A. Taft Laboratory in the East End and the Alice Hamilton Laboratory in Pleasant Ridge. The new facility will consolidate them, making work easier for the federal employees there. The Center for Disease Control oversees NIOSH. The agency researches ways to prevent injury and illness caused by occupational hazards, making recommendations to other federal agencies. The Cincinnati labs employ about 550 people. It's not clear where the new labs will be located, but the Uptown Consortium, which represents major businesses and institutions in the Clifton, CUF, Corryville and Avondale neighborhoods including UC and several hospitals, is making a big pull to get the 14-acre site in that area. Other neighborhoods looking to get the facility include Bond Hill. • Cincinnati anti-abortion activist Dr. John Wilke has died. He was 89. Wilke founded Greater Cincinnati Right to Life and Ohio Right to Life in the 1970s with his wife Barbara as debate swirled about a woman's right to choose. The two groups have been incredibly active in the decades since as the issue has continued to be one of the country's most intense and divisive. Wilke also served as head of national and international pro-life groups. Among Wilke's more controversial assertions: that the stress caused by rape made it very unlikely a woman being raped would become pregnant. Other doctors and experts have since challenged that assertion, calling it bunk science and a cruel perspective on a terrible experience. Last month, Wilke released an autobiography about his time as a pro-life activist. • A lawsuit over decades-old corpse abuse at the Hamilton County Morgue is in court today. The case involves the behavior of former morgue employee Kenneth Douglass, who was convicted six years ago of sexually abusing three bodies while he worked at the morgue. The families of the women whose corpses were abused have sued the county, charging that it should have known Douglass was engaging in illegal behavior at the facility and fired him. County officials and the estates of the former county coroner and supervisor, who the family also named in the suit and who have both since died, say they couldn't have known Douglass would engage in behavior so abnormal and unpredictable. • Has Kentucky held the wrong man in prison for 27 years? Some evidence suggests that might be the case. The Kentucky Innocence Project has been working on the case of William Virgil, who was convicted for the 1987 killing of psychiatric nurse Retha Welch in Newport. Virgil was convicted based on witness testimony, though some of those witnesses have since been discredited. Meanwhile, DNA evidence tested since the trial suggests Virgil may not have committed the crime. His DNA wasn't found at the crime scene, Virgil's advocates point out, and hers was not found on his clothing. The state is waiting for more tests to be done, but the Kentucky Innocence Project holds that there isn't enough evidence against Virgil to hold him in prison.
Considering the Reds' $250 Million Move

Nielsen says we're the smallest market in Major League Baseball, but last week Bob Castellini sent the message that the Cincinnati Reds are no longer a small-market team, signing Joey Votto to a 10-year, $225 million extension that brings his contract to more than $250 million over the next 12 seasons.
Reds Still Look to Be a Year Away from Contending
Bill Peterson
0 Comments · Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Bob Castellini went on the radio a couple weeks ago to clarify that he is, indeed, excited about the upcoming Reds season. And who isn't? The Reds season is baseball season, after all. Castellini didn't go so far as to say the Reds are going to win this year, but if he did say it who would believe him anyway?

Kudos to the Vancouver City Council for considering an ordinance limiting sales of fireworks to three days and limiting their use to the Fourth of July.
However, as in all of the intelligent large cities in the state, the councilors should have eliminated fireworks completely.
Now it is time for the fence-straddling career politicians in the county commissioners office to do the same and then local residents and our distressed pets will only have to listen to the disruptions for one day.

To the Editor.
—Agranulocytosis is a well-known major complication of antithyroid drug treatment. Most studies emphasize the initial period of drug treatment (1 to 3 months), as that in which agranulocytosis is most likely to happen.1-3 We found only one case report of agranulocytosis in the second course of propylthiouracil (PTU) treatment,4 and a few more cases on methimazole.3,5 We report here four cases of agranulocytosis on second exposure to PTU. We think it is important to draw attention to the possibility of agranulocytosis in patients who were previously treated successfully with PTU.
—The records of all our patients who were treated with PTU for thyrotoxicosis in the years 1985 through 1990 were reviewed. The diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis was made on the basis of symptoms, physical findings, elevated thyroid function tests (total thyroxine [T4], triiodothyronine uptake [T3U], and free thyroxin index), and suppressed

Alzheimer's debate: Test if you can't treat it?
Testing someone with symptoms is far less controversial than testing people with no symptoms but a lot of fear. Doctors worry that these newer methods, such as an easier type of brain scan that's expected to be available within months, will be directly marketed to the public, prompting expensive and excessive testing based on fear.
"The phrase you often hear is that the 'Big A' (Alzheimer's) has replaced the 'Big C' (cancer)" as a major source of fear, said Dr. Jason Karlawish, a University of Pennsylvania ethicist specializing in dementia issues.
Recent guidelines by the U.S. National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association say these tests should be used only in research until they have been standardized and validated as useful and accurate tools.
A researcher using one of these tests, such as a spinal fluid check for a substance that may predict Alzheimer's risk, has no obligation to disclose the results to a patient until there is a meaningful treatment for the disease, Karlawish argued at the conference.
The more symptoms a patient has, the more justified it is to help understand what is known about possible reasons, he said.
Lynda Hogg of Edinburgh, Scotland, is very glad her doctors diagnosed her Alzheimer's in 2006. She is doing exceptionally well on one of the existing drugs and is in a clinical trial for an experimental one she hopes will help her and help advance knowledge in the field.
At a discussion connected with the conference, she said the early diagnosis helped her get financial and legal matters in order and serve on the Scottish Dementia Working Group and the board of Alzheimer's Disease International.
"I am certain involvement keeps me focused and involved in society," she said.
The Alzheimer's Association says early diagnosis and evaluation can bring the following benefits:
- Treatment of reversible causes of impairment.
- Access to drugs that help treat symptoms.
- Inclusion in clinical trials that give expert care.
- Avoiding drugs that can worsen cognition.
- Letting others know of a need for help managing medicines and daily life.
- Easing anxiety about the cause of symptoms.
- Access to education, training and support services.
- The ability to plan for the future.
Lesher, the woman from Pennsylvania, wishes she had a clearer picture of what lies ahead for her.
"Not being able to get diagnosed is the must frustrating thing in the world," she said.

Why Oklahoma-Baylor is the Big 12's game of the year
Baylor University opens a glittering new football stadium in August on the banks of the Brazos River. Everything will be new. Including some glittering hardware.
The 2013 Big 12 championship trophy.
It's a new day in Waco and it's a new day in Big 12 football. A conference that once was ruled by OU and Texas now is egalitarian. Five years, five champions. Texas 2009, OU 2010, OSU 2011, Kansas State 2012, Baylor 2013.
And thus our annual ranking of the Big 12's upcoming games has a new look. The showdown that figures to be the Big 12 game of the year? Baylor at Oklahoma, on Nov. 8.
"How about that," Baylor coach Art Briles said.
"Just to put your university in the same sentence as a Big 12 champion in football says it all. It throws you into an elite level on the national perception and from the recruiting perception. That's what our business is all about. It throws us in a completely different category."
It's a perfect scenario for Baylor. The championship was built with players recruited on the promise of a new stadium. The championship will be celebrated with players who get to take the field of that new stadium.
"You could have sat down and twiddled your pencil around for 2-3 minutes or 2-3 hours, and you couldn't have written a better script how it's turned out," Briles said.
Six years ago, I ranked the Big 12's games, one through 96, for the first time. The highest-ranked Baylor game was 29th, Baylor-Washington State. That was really a bone thrown to Baylor. The first Baylor conference game was Texas A&M in Waco, No. 31. The three worst conference games were all Baylor — OSU 69th, Texas 74th, Texas Tech 77th.
Now look at the Bears. OU-Baylor No. 1. Baylor-Texas No. 4. Baylor-Texas Tech No. 11. Baylor-Kansas State No. 14.
Briles has coached the Bears past the giddy heights of 1974 and 1980, when Baylor won Southwest Conference titles and reached the Cotton Bowl.
"When you're in the fire, you don't really look at what's going on outside," Briles said. "You just try to survive and do the best you can do. As far as wondering where it's at, where I wanted it to be, I think we've certainly made strides."
One downside to Baylor's success is lists like this. Baylor is not stealth anymore. Bear hunting has become a Big 12 vocation. Where once the Baylor week was cause to schedule homecoming, now the Baylor date is circled on opponents' schedules as strap-it-up week.
"We're living with what we weren't three years ago," Briles said, "where everybody targets us, instead of us targeting other people. Now we're a marked man. It makes us have to prepare mentally and physically different."
It's not that people play harder, the more renown the opponent. It's what Briles said. That players are jacked up all week. More focused. More attuned, so that their Saturday energy pays off.
"I think every time they certainly give their best effort, their best energy," Briles said of most teams. "I think the buildup that allows it to showcase as a premier game, the progress of our football program the last two, three years, now the buildup of anticipation is completely different."
So will OU-Baylor prove to be the game of the year? Who knows? Sometimes I'm on point, sometimes not.
In 2008, 2009 and 2010, I had OU-Texas No. 1. Proved right in '08, but not the next two years. In 2011, Bedlam; turns out it was the title game. In 2012, OU-West Virginia, which proved to be an instant classic but not terribly important. 2013, OSU-Texas; the Longhorns didn't really hold up their end of the deal.
Anymore, it's hard to pinpoint. Parity reigns in the Big 12.
"That's proven out," Briles said. "That's not me saying it. That's fact saying it. Just so many good football players across this section of the United States, particularly in Texas. Everybody's got good players. They've got good support. Everybody's facilities are pretty much on the same playing field. There's just so much more parity in 2014 than there was in 2004."
But the game of the year? The team picked to win the league, the Sooners, against the team that won it in 2013, Baylor, is a good place to start.
