Governor Jack Markell has designated October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Delaware.
Delaware created the Domestic Violence Coordinating Council to improve the state's response to domestic violence. The council brings together domestic violence service providers and policy level officials to improve response through legislation, education and policies.
"This proclamation hopefully draws awareness to an issue that merits our attention year-round," said Markell. "We must be vigilant and supportive every day of those around us to ensure they are safe and free from abuse."

Chrisette Michele
When she began doing gigs at local venues, it was mainly for small audiences at open mikes or for auditions. However, shortly thereafter, neo-soul singer India.Arie, who spotted her at Manhattan's Village Underground club, enlisted Chrisette to be her opening act, as did Kem and Angie Stone. And at that same club, she was also discovered by representatives of Def Jam, who were enamored with her vocal abilities and had her signed to the label by 2006. At the end of the year, Def Jam brought her out in full force, allowing her to write and sing the hooks for Jay-Z's "Lost Ones" and Nas' Nat King Cole-inspired "Can't Forget About You." Her album debut, I Am, followed in June 2007. Adding to the album's influences of gospel, adult alternative pop, and hip-hop, she wrote all the songs herself and worked closely with artists/producers Babyface, Salaam Remi, John Legend, and will.i.am. For Epiphany, released in March 2009, the majority of the songwriting was farmed out to the likes of Chuck Harmony and Rodney Jerkins; it topped the R&B and Billboard 200 charts despite lacking a major single. Chrisette was back to writing most of the material for November 2010's Let Freedom Reign, an album produced entirely by Harmony. While it debuted within the Top Ten of Billboard's R&B chart, it was her last album for Def Jam. She switched to Motown for Better, released in June 2013, with input from several producers, including Harmony, Carvin & Ivan, Oak & Pop, and Wizzy Wow. ~ Cyril Cordor & Andy Kellman

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sanchez Love it ! This seed bead aqua necklace reminds of the beaches of the Bahamas. The hand crocheted clasp really adds value to an otherwise ordinary necklace. Really love it and received many compliments !!!!!!!! July 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tiger AQUA COLOR I received this necklace and love the bead work. The turquoise is not as bright as the picture shows online. The color is more a muted aqua. But its still nice. The clasp is hand crotched and stretches as you wear it. Easy to mend but it would have been nice to have a normal clasp. Otherwise its a nice accent to wear and I get many compliments!

BSN Sports: In a distribution league of its own
What do you do if you have run out of space in your existing distribution center, but can't quite justify the cost of a new DC?
That question confronted BSN Sports in June 2010. A manufacturer and distributor of sporting goods apparel and equipment to schools and institutions, BSN had outgrown its facilities in the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch.
"Space was at a premium," says Bobby Melton, BSN's plant director. "We had brought in so many new products that we had 1,200 SKUs in makeshift pick faces in our reserve storage area." What's more, LTL orders waiting to be shipped often ended up in picking aisles.
Rather than build a new DC, BSN worked with a systems integrator (TranSystems, transystems.com) to retrofit an existing 187,000-square-foot distribution center—one of two DCs located across the street from one another. The other, a 95,600-square-foot facility, supports manufacturing and fulfillment operations for large and bulky products such as bleachers, weight benches and soccer goals. After the retrofit, the facility features:
8,000 pick slots for some 8,000 SKUs;
very narrow aisle (VNA) storage with single-deep rack for 8,500 pallets;
a three-level pick module with 5,580 pick slots featuring shelving, carton and pallet flow rack;
a three-level carton flow rack pick module with 4,230 pick slots;
a five-level pallet flow rack with 142 pick slots; and
- a non-conveyable pick line with 1,008 pick slots.
What the facility doesn't include is a lot of automation. Instead, it is an example of what solid improvements can be gained by reconfiguring the layout of a conventional warehouse with limited automation.
BSN Sports does have a warehouse management system (WMS) to manage inventory and create pick tickets. A conveyor line routes totes through picking modules and the packing and shipping areas. However, orders are still picked from paper tickets. Gains of productivity and space came from adding levels to existing pick modules, expanding the existing conveyor line, relocating and reconfiguring pack stations, and reconfiguring the shipping area, including:
an increase in pick locations by 52%, with a 27% increase in one picking line and 110% in a second picking line, and
- an increase in throughput of 30% in the packing area.
"We shipped 744,000 packages in 2010 before the retrofit," says Melton. "In 2011, we shipped 855,000 packages. Our only increase in labor was related to some new products we added to the mix."
As a bonus, Melton says he still has 1,200 to 1,800 pick faces available for future growth.
Dealing with constraints
While BSN Sports may not be a household name, it is the nation's largest sporting goods distributor to schools and sports leagues. Founded in 1972 as the Sport Supply Group, the company distributes more than 50,000 products to 125,000 institutional and team-sports enthusiasts through multiple sales channels, including a direct sales force, catalogs and the Internet.
The company boasts more than $300 million in sales and 900 employees. BSN Sports manufactures its own line of bleachers, backstops and soccer goals; offers a suite of proprietary, factory-direct brands such as MacGregor, Voit, Alumagoal, Champion Barbell and PORTaPiT track and field; and distributes branded equipment and team apparel from Nike, Rawlings, Wilson and Under Armour.
In the spring of 2010, order fulfillment processes were slowing as the company wrestled with growth. Not only were 1,200 SKUs being picked from a makeshift pick zone in the reserve storage area, those items weren't being managed by the WMS. Instead, orders for those products were planned offline and picked manually. Since the orders weren't being planned by the WMS, they didn't go through the box-picking logic that packs the most number of items in the least number of shipping containers.
The result was orders were slow, cumbersome to pick, and expensive to ship. "Because it was taking too long to pick orders, we were delivering late to our customers," says Melton.
Initially, BSN Sports investigated building a new DC in the Dallas area. However, that idea proved too expensive. "After talking to our consultant, we decided not to build a new facility and instead spend less money," Melton says.
BSN Sports set out several goals for its new design:
It should integrate the 1,200 SKUs that were located in the makeshift area into the existing pick zones so those products and any new SKUs could be managed by the WMS.
It should increase pick, storage and throughput capacity to accommodate present needs and future growth plans.
It should use existing equipment to maximum potential.
The project should be completed under a tight schedule of less than six months from concept design to go-live.
- Most importantly, it should be completed within a budget of $1 million to $1.5 million—far less than the cost of a new DC.

wicked awesome game. possibly the best ever... even better than final fantasy xii?
I can't tell if this is sarcastic.
in other words i am completely serious
Nah man, Final Hallways 13 was the best game out of the two!
I think FarCry 3 is going to win.
never played he far cry series and have been hearing a lot about that so maybe, but mass effect 3 is leagues ahead of 2 and though ive never played 1 im sure its even farther ahead than that. have you played it? i'm like 20% done or so.
the story and the effect of your choices are what make this game. choosing who lives and who dies, whether to stab somebody in the back or play justifiably on such a large scale is amazing.
That is the problem with 3. There were allot more consequences for your actions in 2 than 3.
really? so far i think the opposite. i had to choose whether or not mordin cured the genophage and lived or died, and then i had to decide whether to betray the krogan to side with the salarians or help the krogan and reveal the coup. these alone seem to have had a bigger effect than anything in mass effect 2.
sidenote: the thresher maw on tuchanka fighting the reaper was epic as fuck
Although before you finish, make sure you download the final cut DLC. It will make the ending make allot more sense.

'Mudders' in this year's Mud Run raised more than $200,000 to benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation of Delaware.
With more than 4,000 participants, the annual event at Frightland pitted runners against mud-covered obstacles that they had to climb, crawl and swim through.
There was the infamous ice bath, where runners swim through icy mud, a flame jump, where they jump over flames and back into the mud and the final mud pit, where teams would grasp each others hands and slide into a pool of mud.
The 5K run has raised more than $1 million in its four years so far.
It was held at Frightland on U.S. Route 13 on Sunday, with the first heat of runners taking off at 10 a.m.

Wasps are very territorial creatures - an average wasp nest has a 200 foot territorial radius. Wasps will instinctively flee an area that contains an unfamiliar nest. This natural wasp deterrent works without toxic chemicals or baits. Instead, it simulates a real wasp nest with the shape, colors and patterns to deter wasps from building nests in the same area. Just think of it as a "scarecrow for wasps".
The Bee Free Wasp Deterrent is great for patios, children's play areas or anywhere wasps are a problem. It folds flat so it's easy to bring camping or backpacking.
Features & Benefits:
- Imitation wasp nest deters wasps from building new nests
- Will not trap or harm bees or beneficial insects
- No chemicals or pesticides
- Folds flat for easy shipping
- Two wasp deterrents per pack
Customer Testimonial
"I wanted to say that I have the Bee Free and it is terrific. We tried it for the first time last summer and actually didn't think it would work. We had a porch we could barely use because there were so many wasps. We put up the Bee Free and I could hardly believe it within a few days they had left our porch area. So simple and yet so effective and completely pesticide free. I just was outside rehanging the Bee Free for this year," - Celeste C.
Provides a non-toxic, safe way to control wasps.

Questions about the Bee Free Wasp Deterrent 2-Pack
- From Dori at 6/18/11 5:37 AM
- This waspinator looks nothing like the nests built by many Florida wasps, so will it work here ? Will it work on Gueane Wasps (sp ?), the very small wasp that builds its nest under leafy plants, deck railings, wicker outdoor furniture, house soffits,etc.
- \the Waspinator will repel guinea wasps, but if the guinea wasps are already established in an area, like your patio, then they may detect the new "nest" as empty and disregard it.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Donald at 3/19/11 10:59 AM
- All I want to know is, Does the waspenator really work? these wasp here in Houston are very agressive. I dont like killing anything which is why I like the sound of your product. I am not having any issues with nests or anything I just want to deter them from showing up all together which is very frequent. I am telling you I have seen a lot of verietys of wasp but these red ones are huge and are a threat in my opinion. So just please give me the honest truth, Does this thing really work?? Thanks
- Yes, the Waspinator does work. It works in the vicinity of where the Waspinator is placed. Other wasps will aviod coming close.
You should be certain that the insects you are trying to repel are indeed wasps. If you can identify them, then look them up on Google and check out what their nests look like. Their nests should look something like the Waspinator.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Sue at 7/7/10 6:11 PM
- I have a well built wasp/hornet nest that looks something like your Waspinator - about the size of a cantaloupe up by a gutter near the roof. Almost directly under that I have a yellow jacket nest between 2 railroad ties. Both are in areas by the driveway and where I and my dogs frequently walk past. Of not there, I would leave them alone. I hate to kill anything, but I tried Hot Shot Wasp/Hornet killer on the yellow jacket nest - twice. There is still some activity and now activity under my deck so I think there is a nest there. I haven't worked up the nerve to spray the big nest on the house, but the entrance is much more visible. Would any of your products eliminate all of the inhabitants of all nests? I also hate to use anything toxic because I have lots of other critters that I do not want to harm. Thanks.
- It is unlikely the Waspinator will cause the two existing nests to be abandoned.
We have successfully removed two large wasp nests from under the eaves of our house by working at night under a red light (headlamp). For each nest, we placed a large brown bag over the nest and pulled it down, quickly closing the top. The nests were relocated and released.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Tom at 7/5/10 4:13 AM
- I have a slightly raised outdoor deck that's 12' x 20' & have seen 4 nests under construction within 6 ' of each other under the deck. Will this work as the avoidance of competing nests haven't stopped the development of the other nests?
- There are some wasp species which build very different nests and behave very differently, such as the Paper Wasp. The Waspinator will not be as effective on these wasps.
Even so, The Waspinator will still act as a repellent for some of these wasps because it also resembles a hornets nest, and as hornets are predators to these species, the wasps think it's a hornets nest and stay away for that reason.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Sue at 6/27/10 7:41 PM
- I have Bumble Bees, Honey Bees and Hummingbirds. Will this in any way scare them away or just the wasps that are drinking nectar from the hummer feeders and scaring my hummers away. I like the bumble bees but I hate the yellow jackets that are on the feeders constantly.
- The Waspinator will repel the wasps at your hummingbird feeder, but will have no impact on the hummingbirds.
Bumble bees may be deterred by the Waspinator but, if so, they will simply move to a greater distance.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Donna at 6/26/10 1:20 PM
- Does the Waspinator work for yellow jackets? I've read that they make their nests in or on the ground and since the waspinator hangs would it still be effective for yellow jackets?
I'd appreciate an answer soon, since I'd like to purchase one if it will work. The yellow jackets are driving away my hummingbirds and I can't hang feeders.
Thank you!
- Yes, the Waspinator will repel yellow jackets as well as wasps. Yellow jackets are very sensitive to territorial claims, and they will avoid being in the proximity of the Waspinator.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- Does the Waspinator work for yellow jackets? I've read that they make their nests in or on the ground and since the waspinator hangs would it still be effective for yellow jackets?

Twenty-thirteen UCLA graduate Pedro Figueiredo earned Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar honors for the second consecutive year, the Golf Coaches Assn. of America announced this week.
Currently a professional golfer playing in Europe, Figueiredo graduated in June with a degree in Economics. He boasted a 3.62 cumulative grade point average and was an 11-time (out of 12) member of the Director's Honor Roll. In addition, he earned All-Pac-12 Academic honors three times, and twice (2012 and 2013) was a member of the first-team.
On the golf course, Figueiredo was a four-year letterman, who earned GCAA All-America honors in 2012 and 2013, and was a three-time all-conference selection. He won three individual titles during his career, including a pair of victories in his senior season. He averaged 72.0 in 127 career rounds with 25 Top 20 results, 43 rounds under par and 25 rounds under 70.
A native of Azeitao, Portugal, he has represented his country and Europe in dozens of international tournaments, most recently the Palmer Cup in Delaware last month.
To earn a spot on the GCAA All-Scholar list, nominees must be upperclassmen, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50% of their team's competitive rounds, average better than 76.0 per round and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.2.

Rainer continued his record-setting season in the 60 meter dash, again breaking the school-record with a 6.72 time in the semifinals. It is the third time this season that Rainer has set a new ETSU record in the 60-meters. Rainer's time was not enough to advance him to the final heat, but only two collegians posted strong enough times to join the six world-class athletes in the finals. Rainer finished as the third-best collegian, beating out 45 other athletes from 23 different schools.
Ricciardi placed third in the high jump, continuing her stellar junior campaign. Ricciardi completed a jump of 1.69 meters (5-6.50), topping 18 other jumpers from 12 different institutions. It is Ricciardi's fourth top-three finish of the season.
The remainder of the track & field squad took the week off in preparation for next week's Atlantic Sun Indoor Track & Field Championships held at

Peter Asher's legendary music career began in 1964 with the formation of Peter & Gordon. In 1968, Asher became head of A&R for the Beatles newly formed record company, Apple Records. Three years later, Asher decided to literally head in a different direction and moved to the U.S., where he founded Peter Asher Management. Peter Asher Management became one of the most successful artist management companies in America, handling artists such as Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and Carole King. Asher has produced 12 Grammy Award-winning recordings, and in 1977 and 1989 was honored individually with the Grammy Award for "Producer of the Year." Playing select dates now, Asher stopped by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, to talk about his recent projects, keeping current, and being among the first people to ever hear the Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand" when Paul McCartney was staying at his house.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Tell us about the dates you're playing now...
Peter Asher: It's not really a tour it's just occasional dates. I have so much fun doing it. To be honest, I look on these shows almost as, not a kind of vacation, but certainly a distraction, a day off from whatever project I'm in the middle of or other things I'm worried about because the fun of actually singing the songs, telling the stories and meeting all the people gives a whole different flavor to the other work I do.
RRHOF: You have been doing this for a while though..
PA: As you probably know, Gordon and I didn't sing together for 38 years, which we thought was just going to be a short hiatus, but it grew in length. When we got back together, which we did for a benefit … it was fun so we decided to do a few more shows and I'm glad we did because Gordon died a few years later. One of the things I noticed when we did these shows, people were as interested in the stories that I had to tell as they were in hearing the old songs. Initially, I was even nervous about getting back together and singing the songs. I thought, "This is kind of old news." But I realized once we started doing it that the songs mean a lot to people. You see people actually crying because "that's the song I got engaged to my wife" or whatever. And the stories were of great interest to people and very often to younger people who weren't there. I had this idea of combining all of that and a bunch of multimedia stuff, photos and videos, into a show that I could do by myself with a very good band, which I have. So I tried it out. The first one we did was three or four years ago at the Grammy Museum in L.A. To be honest, it changes a little every night. I think of different things as I'm telling the stories. It takes me back and I remember stuff and every now and then I'll add something.
RRHOF: Like an interesting demo you came across?
PA: I recently found the demo Paul McCartney had made for me of "A World Without Love." Once you find something and put it in the show, it's everywhere the next day, there're no secrets. We play that now, and I found that about six months ago. I thought the reel–to-reel tape had gone, but I found a DAT transfer, which I had done at the time when DATs were going to be the future, that still hasn't quite happened (laughs). I have added in a couple of poster and photos that I found very recently. In fact, I was just mentioning that we found this poster of us and the Rolling Stones when we toured together, we were co-headlining. They were closing, but we were billed equally. I threw that in somewhere, found a way to fit that into the narrative. [pictured: Paul McCartney and Peter Asher / from Peter Asher Collection]
RRHOF: I heard a story that you were coming downstairs in your house and a couple Beatles were sitting at your piano, having written a rather famous song. Is that true?
PA: No, I came downstairs at their request. In our house, Paul [McCartney] was living in our family home for a couple of years when they weren't on the road. He and I shared the top floor where the guest room and my bedroom were. In the basement, there was a little music room where my mother gave oboe lessons. She taught at the Royal Academy of Music up the road, where she was an oboe professor and she also gave private lessons at home. To digress for a second, one of the interesting facts is that long before I had anything to do with the Beatles or had anything to do with anything, one of my mother's pupils, whom she taught the oboe, was George Martin. Just weird, couldn't make that stuff up.
Anyway, Paul would sometime use the music room when my mother wasn't teaching there. It had a small upright piano, a music stand and a sofa. One afternoon early on, shortly after he moved in, John [Lennon] came over and they were down there together for a couple of hours. No guitars, sitting at the piano, side by side, and Paul stuck his head out the door and called upstairs and asked me if I wanted to come down. He had the song they finished. So I came down and sat on the sofa, opposite the upright piano, and they played "I Want to Hold Your Hand" for the first time, and they asked me what I thought. "What did you think?" I said it was very good!
It does sound a bit pretentious because it's only rock and roll, but there actually is something extraordinary about being present at the moment of the creation of great art. Your first reaction is you want to hear it again because it is just so incredibly good. You do wonder if you are losing your mind or if it's about the best song you ever heard or both, but it was. At that point I was 20.
RRHOF: Linda Ronstadt is a 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominee. You worked with her…
PA: Best girl singer I ever worked with in my life. Should be in The Rock and Roll hall of Fame, it's a shame, but she will be. Not that I would have voted for my own friends of course, but I did cast my vote thoughtfully.
RRHOF: James Taylor is one Hall of Fame Inductee you've also worked with…
PA: Amazing. I mean I owe James a great debt of thanks, because I bet my career on his. After I left Apple, I wrote a letter of resignation and suggested to James that we should leave. He wanted to go back to America anyway. So, we left Apple, and I agreed to become his manager, and we both came over to America. He went to the East Coast for a little bit of rehab, which he was in need of at the time. I came to California and made a new record deal for him with Warner Brothers, and we prepared to make the next album. Essentially I took a gamble, but I didn't have much to lose. I was young, and I didn't have any money because back then, as you know, no one made money being a pop singer – even the Beatles. They made their money later. So, I didn't have much of anything, and I just really bet on my belief in James, which turned out to be a good bet, I'm happy to say. I owe him a debt of gratitude for that.
RRHOF: Do you remember the first time you heard Taylor perform?
PA: The first time I heard him sing I was totally knocked out, because here was someone who looked like he was just going to be an ordinary strumming folkie [but] he played the guitar with the skill of a classical guitarist. He had been listening to Segovia and Julian Bream as well as pop music. Even though he had an almost folkie-ish flavor to his voice, his phrasing owed more to Sam Cooke and Ray Charles. He played classical guitar, but with sort of jazz voicing as well as all the folkie [suspended] chords and stuff. Then he wrote these incredible songs. I was extremely impressed and still am. [Peter & Gordon circa 1964 / Courtesy Capitol/EMI]
RRHOF: How do you stay current?
PA: I probably don't really. We were just talking about how Elton [John] is probably the best at that. He knows which is the best track and all that stuff; he's amazing. I wait for someone to tell me, to be honest. I listen if somebody says you have to hear so-and-so's record or I talk to my daughter, of course, who is in a band herself and loves music and will often point me in the direction of something cool. I don't go out scouring the clubs or buying every record that comes out, but I still am very excited about new music. I am certainly not one of those, "They don't write songs like that anymore" people. I think there is some amazing stuff out there. There are great people out there, and I'm always excited when you find someone new.
RRHOF: And you're currently working on a project with Elton John?
PA: It's the 40th anniversary of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It's always been one of my favorite Elton records, and everyone else's, too. Universal is doing a big celebration of the 40th anniversary and putting out a whole repackaged and remastered version. Elton asked me if I wanted to cut eight of the songs off that album with current artists. I got to do "Candle in The Wind" with Ed Sheeran, "Benny and The Jets" with Miguel and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" with Fallout Boy, which was just fantastic. I knew Patrick Stump already through my daughter Victoria because they're friends, and he had done a track for this Buddy Holly project I did. He's incredible, amazing musician, and they all are. So I got to work with all of them … on these incredible and legendary songs that Bernie [Taupin] and Elton wrote.
RRHOF: Is there someone new that you would like to work with that you haven't yet?
PA: I would love to work with someone like Bruno Mars. He's such a great singer, but he is such a great producer himself, so I don't think he needs me. The people I work with tend to be a series of haphazard connections. When I produced the soundtrack for Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Hans [Zimmer] suggested bringing in Rodrigo Y Gabriella who are these unbelievably great guitar players. People either know them and love them or don't know them at all. During the course of that they asked me if I would produce their next album, which we went and did in Cuba with Cuban percussionist and all that, and that was amazing.

"Digital has adopted Children's Healthcare of Atlanta as our charity of choice, and this year's contribution tops our previous record of $30,000," says Adam Bruckman, president and CEO of Digital Insurance, the nation's fastest-growing employee benefits agency. "We continue to grow our tradition of giving back. Through donations of time and money, our employees have embraced this not-for-profit organization and the positive impact it has on the lives of children through patient care, research and education."
The DI Dash has become a favorite end-of-the-summer activity – not only for the people who work with Digital – but for other corporations, donors, participants and volunteers who contributed to the success of the 2011 event. Participating industry leaders included:
"We know there's more to life than the mad dash associated with getting the job done," explains Bruckman. "That's why Digital Insurance is dedicated to the communities where we operate. As individuals and collectively, our philanthropic and volunteer endeavors touch many lives."

At Jessie's House, a New Knitter, and Yarn Along

Hi Gigi. I love The Magic Apple Tree. It is the same one, isn't it? By Susan Hill? The village in the book is not too far from where I live, 45 mins or so drive, and I have been there to look see, but do you think I can work out which is the right cottage. I think maybe this one, but then perhaps that one. I guess it is done deliberately, to stop people like me. She doesn't live there any more though.

I just had to comment when I saw Mandy. I read that as a young girl and still recommend it today when people ask for a suggestion. Last time I looked at B/N I couldn't find it. I'm hoping it's still in print. One my all time favorite books.
Here's to the new knitter in your home!

Congrats to Chloe for learning to knit. I tried as a child and it just didn't click. So about 10 years ago, I bought a "learn to knit" for kids book, and this time it clicked.
Thanks for sharing...

We sat outside, and started, as we all must do these days, with a "hand-crafted cocktail." The margarita was good, but I should have known better than to order a drink in which Veuve Clicquot is used as an ingredient. In this case, it was combined with Hypnotic and garnished with blueberries, but nothing is the only thing to add to Veuve Clicquot, and I hope the widow forgives me.
The balcony patio was a bit blinding in the early summer evening, and the out-of-place Coca-Cola umbrellas didn't help, but our server was solicitous, offering to change our table and bringing lots of water. We stuck it out, and kept our eyes on the apps: a deconstructed lobster mac and cheese with a nice lump of claw meat, a pile of al dente noodles and an eggshell filled with cheese sauce and mussel shells filled with chopped mussels, avocado and yuzu with a nice kick. I do think the menu should include the info that the shellfish are chopped; we found it disconcerting but we loved the flavor.
All this is the creation of Kaharim Becerra, formerly of the Grand America and most recently and only for about 20 minutes, Frida Bistro. He's put together a menu that suits the space, thoroughly modern but hefty enough for Utah. He uses hibiscus. He uses chestnuts. He infuses chestnuts with contemporary tastes. My halibut (subbed for the red snapper listed) came with an orange ginger puree, shiitake leek salad, bok choy and hibiscus air. The latter was missing, can air vanish into thin air? Anyway, the fish was lovely, falling into great pearlescent shards, its seared crust contrasting nicely with the sweet ginger. Scallops, in a hibiscus reduction, a shiitake salad and crisps of prosciutto, came with a rather brilliant summer succotash.
My friend over at Tribune loved the braised kurobuta pork that comes with a cassoulet, but the sun was too bright to even consider anything braised.
There's lots more to try; Vuz is new and ambitious, and it will take several visits to see whether the kitchen is consistent and how the menu evolves, in other words, where it will rank in the city's dining scene. Right now, I have only one definite suggestion to make: the view from Vuz, at least in this season of lingering sunlight, would be greatly improved if the railing around the patio were solid. That way, you'd cut out the view of the Walgreen roof and the parking lot and would only see the distant Oquirrhs.
See what I mean?
The patio at Elements in Logan is practically level with the Logan River, a particularly dramatic location this highwater season. Both sides were sandbagged, and the railing was reinforced with a bright red danger warning barrier. But that meant the white noise of rushing water covered nearby diners' conversation and created an intimate space by accident.
From the parking lot, Elements looks unlikely, it's part of Riverwoods Conference Center, which means it's connected to a Springhill Suites by Marriott. Not a sophisticated-looking location. But Logan is a college town so Elements seemed to be feeding faculty USU-related types, not the typical suburbanites.
A gargantuan plate of gaufrette potato chips with a Maytag blue cheese sauce (which we requested on the side) served as an appetizer. The rest of the selection ranged rather oddly from buttermilk-fried chicken tenders and red chile onion rings to blackened ahi, lettuce wraps and quesadillas. Sort of a Top Forty list of American starters. Does it seem weird to ask for a doggy bag for potato chips? Because that's what we did. It was a Utah mountain of chips.
Our server was quick, intelligent and knew the food, one of the nicest serving experiences we've had in awhile. The food was short of spectacular, only because the kitchen is trying too hard. Their star dish, kamikaze salmon, comes with a roasted pineapple and ginger coulis and is a showy plateful.
But the fish was overcooked, not by much, just enough to make it uninteresting even with the vibrant sauce. I chose mashed sweet potatoes (other choices were garlic and straightup mashed) as a side, and the combination of flavors could have been great.
Roast chicken also came with mashed potatoes, and was also a tad on the dry side, unfortunately.
Desserts were also over-produced, although apples in phyllo and a deconstructed German chocolate cake sundae were super ideas.
That was the main problem I had with Element's kitchen, they're trying too hard.
All in all, if Elements were a band, I'd tell them to kill the violins.

I have a legal DPMS 20" AR-15, which I now want to convert to an SBR.
Great, I have to get a tax stamp to create an SBR, which is fine. Is there any reason that I cannot use a pistol upper to create a 7.5" AR-15 SBR?
Now I know I cannot install the upper until I register and pay the tax stamp but if I file the paperwork and order the upper, is that complying with the law provided I wait on the Tax stamp prior to installation of the upper?
The object is to stay legal. If it's not possible, I don't plan to pursue it.
