It could be a fairy tale: Beatrice, a simple Irish girl with a cold, mean mother, is swept up by a glamorous countess and whisked off to live with a rich and kindly family in a house full of exquisite things. Then reality kicks in. This is Berlin. In 1938. Even as Beatrice arrives, the Nymphenburg porcelains and ivory turnings are being packed up. The Reich has appropriated the house, along with most of the servants, and the owners are decamping with 23 wagonloads of treasures to their rural estate—the first in a series of retreats that will eventually lead to hiding out in their own woods. What unfolds in Susanna Moore's novel The Life of Objects (Knopf) is an unsparing look at a country's disintegration: Rumors fly, radio stations go silent, friends disappear, concentration camps proliferate, bombs fall, and the Russians arrive to kick off some of the most brutal scenes in the book. Objects, it turns out, can enchant, enslave and corrupt, but they can't always protect us.

Three-Point Night For Koelzer Sends Women's Hockey To 4-1 Home Victory
Freshman Kelsey Koelzer had two points through the 2013 portion of the Princeton schedule. In 2014, she has three already; her two goals and one assist led the women's hockey team to a 4-1 win over UConn Thursday night in Baker Rink.
Koelzer scored twice in the third period and assisted on Sally Butler's tying goal in the second period to lead Princeton to its eighth win of the season. Goaltender Kimberly Newell made 22 saves for Princeton, including 13 in the first period.
UConn scored the only goal of a wild, end-to-end first period. On the Huskies' second power play of the period, Sara MacDonell fired a shot from the right circle that was saved by Newell, but the rebound came out in front and was put home by Leah Buress.
That would be all the scoring of a very even period, but Princeton came out with a far more aggressive mentality in the second period. The Tigers got off the first 11 shots of the period and evened the score on Butler's second goal of the season. Freshman Kelsey Koelzer fired a shot through traffic from the point, and Butler deflected it past Sarah Moses for the tying goal.
It took a little extra time for the goal to get posted, though; officials reviewed the play to make sure Butler didn't delect the shot with a high stick. After several minutes, the call was upheld and Princeton had its first goal of 2014.
Penalties thwarted their dominance of the period, though; UConn got a pair of late power plays, and while the Huskies didn't capitalize on either, they were able to neutralize the Tigers' aggression for the final five minutes of the period.
Midway through the third period, Princeton found its dominant level of play and scored three goals in 3:32 to put the game away. Koelzer scored the eventual game winner on a slapshot from the point, and Gabie Figueroa followed it up with another slapshot that found its way through traffic and into the back of the net.
Less than a minute after Figueroa's goal, Morgan Sly found Koelzer skating down the right side of the ice and sent a perfect lead pass. The freshman capped the best game of her young career by converting on the mini breakaway for the final score in a 4-1 win.
Princeton improved to 8-6-2 and will host UConn in the second game of the series Friday at 4 pm.

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LESM Very nice - using as TV stand I bought this in-store after looking online. It works perfectly as a small stand for our 40" TV (it's about an inch wider than the base); the bottom shelf is a good height for DVDs, and we keep extra cables etc. in the drawer. Assembly was not difficult, and the final product seems stable and of good quality. It is perhaps very slightly darker than the online picture, but not by much. July 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ltlt2 was not worth the money I bought this as it looked similar to ones I was seeing at a much better price value. But opening the box and seeing how it is to put it together.... I am taking it back to the store. The color was not as it looked online either. I have learned that I cannot order furniture online from World Market as this is the second large item I have purchased online with dissatisfaction. Living 2 hours away, returning is difficult. June 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Swain Advertised with wrong color I got two of these nigthstands for an excellent price, so I can't complain there. However, I purchased them online and picked up in store. Firstly, it is boxed so yo have to put it together yourself! Secondly, it is totally a different color to the one advertised. Rather than a light, yellow or walnut shade it is a cherry oak, red oak or deep brown. It completely changes the look! October 28, 2014

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Annuals
Today's Garden
by National Gardening Association Editors
In today's current era of abundance and excesses, it's difficult to imagine that in 1943, in the midst of World War II, foods were rationed and expensive and choice was limited. Many Americans turned to backyard gardening to produce their own fruits and vegetables and become more self-sufficient. Out of this movement came a book, The Have-More Plan, by Carolyn and Ed Robinson, he being one of the founders of the National Gardening Association. It was a book about living off the land by producing not only fruits and vegetables, but by raising animals as well.
Today, looking at The Have-More Plan's vegetable garden section, we noticed how some things (the emphasis on soil health) haven't changed, while others (the dependency on harmful chemicals for pest control) have. It made us wonder what a typical food garden "plan" in the year 2000 might be.
Self sufficiency is no longer the primary reason for food gardening; the issues shaping food gardening today include lack of time and a desire for outdoor beauty, a clean environment, and high-quality food.
Time and Efficiency
The modern vegetable garden is small, only about 200 square feet on average. Although we don't expect our garden to supply all our vegetable needs, we still want it to look good and produce abundantly. Plant breeders have addressed the issue of limited growing space by developing dwarf versions of traditional space-hoggers such as tomatoes, winter squash, and cucumbers. We like variety, too. Herbs are tucked into the plan, and fruits, which usually demand lots of space, are selected primarily for dwarf characteristics, which allow them to be grown in space-saving containers.
We have less leisure time than ever, so the garden must be as efficient and maintenence-free as possible. This often translates into using intensive gardening techniques such as raised beds, succession planting, and trellising, as well as time-saving products such as automatic watering systems, and mulches to reduce weeding.
Outdoor Beauty
Because of smaller lots, a vegetable garden can no longer be hidden away in the backyard. Now it is often in plain view, so we want it to look good. It likely has attractive, edible flowers such as calendula and nasturtium growing in it. Vegetable varieties are selected for their ornamental as well as culinary qualities. 'Bright Lights' Swiss chard, 'Red Russian' kale, and 'Thai Hot' peppers are among varieties that paint the vegetable garden with colors usually reserved for flower beds.
A Clean Environment
More than ever, we're concerned about the air we breathe and the water we drink. In the 1940s, it was assumed country living meant cleaner living, and in general that was true. However, today we know pollution is more widespread, and we consciously try not to contribute to it. We want the most environmentally friendly garden possible. We are more conscious about growing disease-resistant varieties, applying low-toxic sprays such as insecticidal soap and oils, and using techniques such as floating row covers to prevent or lessen insect and disease attacks.

He has been released on a $1,000 unsecured bond, Brode said.

The meticulously composed, large-scale images of photographer Gregory Crewdson are stunning, psychological narratives of small-town American life. Shot over a decade, this documentary follows the artist during the elaborate process of staging his shoots using set-ups as complicated as moviemaking. Crewdson discusses his family background and his influences, who include Diane Arbus, Edward Hopper, and David Lynch. Speaking about his creative process, Crewdson observes, "the whole act of making art is an act of faith."

Basically, gay people are destined to fail in any relationship with a straight guy. It's almost always never meant to be. Only the select few can find the gay ones in the flock. Unfortunately, the only gay guys I ever found were like in their 20's and were going out with eachother.Originally Posted by Joshua

I don't know about that. The first time I tried to hook up with a guy, I found myself that wasn't entirely straight. Then I found a homophobe, and then someone who tried to avoid me for eight months afterwards. Then the blackmailer.Originally Posted by Hunting Guard

Heres wishing you luck. And Pai, not all gay guys are sensitive. I meant because me and Josh both got friends who tried to blackmail us.Originally Posted by Joshua
EDIT: OK then, woo 1000th reply. Lol.
that does'nt mean u r unlucky, u just go 4 the wrong people!
Well, you see, it does mean I'm unlucky. Because, th only people I ever seem to like are straight. That may just be because I only know like, three gay/bi people, but still, it shows something for my gaydar.Originally Posted by bloodstone
poor u, me, i get to know the person, it has never been love at first sight for me!
I never said that I never tried to get to know the people I like. Hell, one of them is my best friend now, and he knows how I feel about him. That's the reason we're now such good friends.Originally Posted by bloodstone
but u have a tendancie to like straights, i have a cold heart that warms up only to those i choose
you should'nt cause i donot mean to be offensive.
Um wow some of the talk about "pens" is more disturbing/foul then if you didn't even replace any of the words, but it could just be me =/.
It seems that everyone who tries to blackmail you about you being gay always gets hurt in the end instead through a backfire o_0. Mine didn't waste time blackmailing though, she just blurted it, but at least in the end everything went ok.
You were skating on very thin ice, guys. Some of that chat was borderline appropriate, and it's not difficult to figure out what was meant by the words "Pen" and "Ink". Careful please.

Pen? Ink? Okay.....
I have a question for a topic- er, two, actually.
If you've already come out (besides on the internet), what was it like and how did you do it?
If still haven't come out, how do you think you'll do it, and what do expect will happen?
Um, I haven't come out yet, but I expect to tell Heather when she calls. She is fine with gays- in fact, even though she is straight, I think she has a gaydar too... Anyways, I might not tell my parents for a while, because I want to have a good relationship with them and not ruin it, because my mom thinks homosexualism is not right. My stepmom, however, is accepting, but I hate her guts. My friend Bri doesn't like gays too much, and Andrew is a full fledged homophobe!
Oh, by the way, my female friends to male friends ratio is like 10:1... They all say I'm sensitive.

Ooh! I just made a banner... Not a very good one... Look at my sig! It's a (bad) remix of some trainer sprites... You can use it if you want, but give me credit.
Edit: right after I posted that, the doorbell rang and it was some guy from a high school. I think I started blushing, too... He had a nice smile... It sucks, though, because I blush really easily, which kinda gives me away...

I would like to join. I'm bisexual.
To respond...yes. not much happened though. if you want more descriptions, PM me. Sry if that sound dirty... I'm trying to be clean.Have you ever done anything with a member of the same sex?

I have one question to ask of this club. I have always wondered, how do you figure out if someone's gay? What is the "gaydar" thing?
I don't know how to explain it... You can just tell if someone is gay or not. I have one, but it usually doesn't work on girls which is ok since I'm not looking for lesbians heh. You can just look at someone and know their gay..... Mines been right every time, except the guy who I actually talked to about it and he said he isn't. I really don't know how to explain it that well =/.
Edit - Hmm thought of something else. Like you can sense certain traits about someone that tell you.
i don't have very good gaydar, but I could tell my friend was gay.

OK ... where to start. Feeling Christmasy yet? You might as well be. It's fast-approaching, folks. Here's the best of the holiday-tastic options around the valley this weekend and a few Yule-free events tossed in as well.
If you don't want feel the holidays Friday and are not going to a Christmas party, head down to the State Room for the Ocote Soul Sounds, a funky, Latin-flared jazz-rock outfit.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Expat76 FYI :Marmite history As an old, old lady, who grew up in wartime England and has lived in the US for 50+ years, I would like to share a little Marmite history with all you younger lovers - or haters - of the product. During World War 11, Marmite was part of the diet of hospital patients. Outside of a hospital, it was only available with a Doctor's prescription. It's THAT good for you. Just think of all you've read recently of B vitamin deficient Americans!! However, I personally prefer Bovril, the beef and yeast extract that is similar, but is not available in the US. I have to import it at great expense from England, because I cannot live without it! My American born husband and children are also addicted - two to Marmite and 2 to Bovril :-) October 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ksouthbama I'm American, and I love Marmite I knew of Marmite but had never tried it. I learned of it when I was an exchange student to Thailand and some of my fellow exchange students from the UK and Australia would argue about which was better -- Vegemite or Marmite. At one time one of these friends had me try Vegemite and I really thought she had played a joke on me -- like put something really horrific inside the jar in place of the actual product. When I learned that, no, this is indeed how Vegemite is supposed to taste, I lost any interest in trying Marmite. Ever. Turn the clock ahead 30 years. This Alabamian decided to meet up with a British friend in Cusco, Peru last year. One evening in my hotel room we exchanged gifts. I gave her an Auburn (my alma mater) shirt. She gave me .............. a jar of Marmite. After recounting my experience with Vegemite, I told her that it was quite possible I would lose the little jar of Marmite somewhere on Machu Picchu or in transit to Lima. But before I could arrange for its disappearance, my friend breaks out some Andean bread and cheese and makes us some Marmite sandwiches. To make a long story short, I am now a Marmite addict. I crave it. I love it on toast with butter, on celery, on sandwiches, in soup. It's a staple in my house. I confessed this on facebook once and sent my Aussie friends into an uproar, the result of which had me trekking back to World Market for a jar of Vegemite for another try. To be fair, it wasn't as horrible to me as my 17-year-old self remembered it to be, but it lacked the depth and richness of Marmite. Vegemite tastes much more bitter and the yeast flavor is much more pronounced. The texture isn't like Marmite, which looks like black honey. It's more like a firm petroleum jelly. It's much easier to work with, that's for sure, but to me, I will take the sticky mess and gluey viscosity -- and the wonderful, rich salty flavor -- of Marmite any day. October 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SNValadez What A California Resident Thinks Hello, I'm a Californian who actually was nosing around on the internet and found this peculiar substance called 'Marmite'. Well, with a name like that, I just had to try it. But before I did, I decided to thoroughly research this substance before I purchased it and found that many Americans DO NOT WANT TO BE WITHIN TEN THOUSAND FEET OF THIS BROWN STICKY SUBSTANCE FROM BLIGHTY. *Ahem* Anyways, I found out that even Brits are a bit divided on this particular product. Meaning: You either love it or you hate it. And knowing what a sharp, offensive flavor it would probably have on my 'delicate' American tastebuds, I bought it anyways because I was feeling adventurous. I had just narrowly escaped death once again on crowded California highways and Marmite just seemed to be the right thing to celebrate. Because it was also like a game of life or death, but a lot less dramatic. More like love or hate. Well...it was absolutely disgusting, at first. I actually bought some of those mini toasts and spread it on those. It reminded me of vinegar and oyster sauce and burnt radioactive materials and then burned hair and then spoonfuls of salt and the texture reminded me of mucus or maybe I'm just imagining that this texture is the same kind as the unicorn blood I saw on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Or the Philosopher's stone, in the UK). So if there were evil unicorns in England, I think Marmite would be their blood that comes out after you sniped them from a distance with some hunting hounds or something. I don't know, so I tried it a second time...it was still absolutely and despicably horrid and the mucusy, viscid texture just coated my tongue and teeth like I had a cold and all this slime was coming up from my lungs. I guess the reason I gave this an excellent rating is because I knew what I was getting into, I knew I was putting something completely foreign into my body, and it met my expectations that I would probably despise it. But I paid for it and I plan on eating it all. Money ain't cheap and I dished out cash for this jar of imminent and almost complete demolition of any American mouth. I'm going to try spreading it on some fresh toast from the toaster and with some butter. Hopefully that helps. BUT ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LizaP Addicted... this is one of a few varieties of yeast-based spreads that can be found in ex-English colonial countries like New Zealand, Australia and my homeland South Africa. There is also the beef-based Bovril, and Vegemite amongst others, but Marmite is my favourite of the lot. it's vegetarian, has no MSG or artificial flavourings like Bovril, and is not sweet-salty like Vegemite, it is just right - on toast, spread over steamed veggies, on cheese, tomato, avocado....anything savory. And add a spoonful to some boiling water in a mug for a hearty quick broth. I am SO glad I can get this must have condiment in America from WorldMarket :) August 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Juelez Excellent packaging I cannot praise too highly the packaging of this item - It was so well packed that it could not possibly have broken - even if it had been dropped or thrown! March 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by brenda the brit Hooked on it I love this.Maybe because I ate it post WW11 as a toddler.Mostly on toast or crumpets. It's a fairly healthy snack.Every household had it in England when I was a child. They say it saved many men fighting in WW11 because they suffered from digestive issues in jungles etc. November 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by me i grew up on this! This will be delicious on just about any bread product. My favorite snack after school was tea and buttered toast with a little marmite on it. A little bit goes a long way since it has a very strong savory flavor. I can make a jar last forever. Its not for everyone, but i think everyone should try it atleast once! September 8, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kryke Love this Stuff I grew up with Marmite and love it, but Cost Plus is one of the very few places I can actually seem to fine it other than stores in down town which are too far from me. August 12, 2011

The story behind iCan House in Winston-Salem is quite simple.
A mother worries about her daughter's social and learning difficulties, realizes the system isn't equipped to help her daughter or others with the same problem, so she starts a nonprofit to teach young people the skills they need.
Kim Shufran knows that Asperger syndrome and other disorders on the autism spectrum are not nearly that simple. Nor is iCan House, the place she created to offer social skills and communication instruction to young people (and now adults, too) a simple place.
The one thing Shufran knows six years after creating iCan House? It's a joyful place.
On any weekday afternoon, the energy inside iCan House flows as children and adults gather to meet others who are different, just like them. Adults and children as young as 8 with social challenges join iCan House "clubs'' to learn social skills. A diagnosis is not required to participate.
"We are not treating. We are not doing therapy,'' Shufran says emphatically. "We are teaching social, life and independence skills. We adjust based on what they need, whether it's a 12-year-old getting ready to go to middle school or somebody in their 20s trying to learn to live independently.''
Avoiding labels
Shufran was aware early on that her daughter, Erica Muller, faced challenges other children didn't seem to have.
"I knew she saw the world differently, interacted with her peers differently. She didn't seek out friendships, didn't engage with people in the same way other children were doing,'' Shufran says. "Yet she was very bright, incredibly articulate. It was just within the context of a group or social setting she was askew.''
Such social and communicative differences are common for people who have Asperger's, with which Erica eventually was diagnosed. But for Shufran, the problem didn't end there. As her daughter struggled in school, she realized that no one knew how to address or help the specific areas where Erica had trouble.
"I was frustrated the labels she was given,'' Shufran says. "ADHD. Learning disability. Language and math disability. Asperger's. All these labels pointed to what she couldn't do. And as parents, we don't want to raise our children with a focus on what they can't do. We want them to rise and fulfill their capacity. And the more I learned about my daughter from the diagnostic world, the more negative it was."
Shufran envisioned a place for kids such as her daughter to receive assistance in the social and communicative skills. Her background – 16 years in clinical nursing and 12 years in organizational and development consulting – helped as she spent two years developing her idea and business plan. The iCan House opened in September 2008 in a row house on Fourth Street in Winston-Salem.
The club-based programs began with 12 children; today, a six-person staff serves 125 members a week, including young children, teens and adults. The members of iCan House meet weekly to participate in behavior-based activities, both there and in the community for events or meals.
The key, Shufran says, is in the first line of iCan House's mission statement: "With a foundation in positive thinking."
Words of advice
At the annual fundraising luncheon for iCan House in March, speaker John Elder Robison, a bestselling author with Asperger's who has become an advocate for people on the autism spectrum, challenged people to think differently.
Robison's ancestry goes back to colonial America, and he has identified those with autism-like behaviors dating at least five generations. In decades and centuries past, people were routinely accepted by society and contributed regardless of their personal attributes, he says.
It is only in modern day, Robison says, with public schooling, that "we created a culture of disability,'' in which labels designate and relegate people on the autism spectrum.
"We now have a whole room of people talking about how to employ disabled people who didn't exist in previous generations,'' he told the 250 in attendance, noting that Asperger's itself wasn't even a diagnosis until 1994.
"There's a great deal of evidence that autistic people have been bringing innovative and wonderful things to the world for as long as man has been here,'' he says. "But we learn in different ways.''
Susan Kermon of Winston-Salem grew up not fitting in and not being able to communicate why or how.
A decorative painter who received a bachelor's degree in fine arts from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, she says she lived a lie.
"I knew how to present in public. How to get the right response, to get everybody to think everything was good,'' she says. Inside, though, "my overriding view of myself was shame. And I could think of no way out of it.''
When she was diagnosed with Asperger's three years ago at age 45, it led to a year of intense research, but she eventually came to accept and eventually embrace it. Today, she says, she's an adult member of iCan House involved with educating the community from her own unique point of view.
"I don't know what the future looks like,'' she says, "but I know that I have one, and I don't feel ashamed at all.''
Reaching goals
People travel from 13 different counties in North Carolina and Virginia, some from over an hour away, to attend iCan House programs. Many different organizations support the nonprofit, including Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, where Shufran worked as a nurse and in organizational development.
Shufran hopes that iCan House becomes a model to demonstrate how people with social difficulties such as autism can learn to fit seamlessly into the 21st century world; she envisions expanding into other cities.
If there has been one consistent thing since it opened, it's the one young person who appears in many iCan House pictures and presentations.
Erica Muller, now 17, says she is grateful to her mother for establishing iCan House and supports any effort to expand it to reach more people. People with autism spectrum problems are different in a way that makes them self-conscious, she says.
"We just stayed in our own little worlds. We were judged for the things we liked and we did,'' she says. "The iCan House helped me open up a lot. When I was so closed and quiet, I wouldn't talk to many people. As my mom would say, I've blossomed. I talk to everybody. And it's the same with so many of the other kids.''

Comfortable Chic
When I was on a TV show recently and asked to name the one thing most women over 40 do wrong when it comes to fashion, I said underdressing — going for comfort at the expense of style. Funny, but when I'd been asked that same question in a pre-interview days earlier, my answer had been just the opposite: overdressing. Midlife women tend to get too glitzy and end up overdoing it, blinging out on all burners. Why, then, my about-face?
On a flight from New York to Chicago, I'd just encountered "airport dressing." At the terminals in New York and Chicago, I'd been surrounded by sloppy sweats in all shapes and sizes, hoodies, fleece pants with stripes down the sides, athletic sneakers that had never set foot in a gym — all accessorized with a big fanny pack. By contrast, the women in jeans and nice sweaters, or in pants and leather jackets with boots or flats, looked so powerful, so first-class to me.
Don't get me wrong. Body-hugging velours are adorable — on tweens, or even on us when we're home alone watching a DVD. And a supercool tracksuit like the one Madonna designed for H&M in 2004 works if you're actually running to or from your trainer. But wearing oversized, shapeless sweatshirts is the same as not bothering to get dressed at all. If you look good, you'll feel good. The desire for comfort is one we all share, but fulfilling it stylishly requires thought and strategy.
Department and specialty stores are packed with soft and slouchy feel-good clothing in a carnival of colors and weightless, wrinkle-free techno fabrics. Newer names in contemporary casual clothing are getting major shelf space. You've probably noticed Vince, Splendid, DKNY Pure, Velvet, Iisli, Michael Stars, Three Dots — and if you haven't, get to know them. Personally, I'm not sold on the jumpsuit (too much work involved in every visit to the ladies' room!), but here are some appropriate pieces to consider.
Sweatshirt alternatives:
- Easy-fitting cotton knit sweaters
- Soft denim blazers
- Smock tees
- Knit cotton dresses in T-shirt fabric
- Layering tanks
Sweatpants alternatives:
- Drawstring or yoga-inspired pants
- Cropped pants
- Casual cotton pencil skirts
Sneakers alternatives:
- Rubber-soled driving shoes
- Ballet flats
- Espadrille wedges
- Flat strappy sandals
- Flat boots
Look 1: What to Wear…
...for lunch with friends, mall crawls, or dinner and a movie
Layered knits are cozy but never sloppy — perfect for bridging the gap between relaxed and dressed-up. Layer Splendid's cotton jersey dress ($133) over Tommy Bahama's cotton tank ($38) for climate and decolletage control, then throw on a long cardigan by Gerard Darel ($218). Nine West wedges with patent-and-linen strap ($79). Ruehl Sophie hobo bag in oyster leather ($198).
Look 2: What to Wear…
...for coffee runs, walking the dog or even house hunting with your broker
A cropped trench, floppy pants, and silver glitter sneakers keep up the pace. AK Anne Klein's water-resistant coated cotton jacket ($189) has enough structure and waist definition to handle it all, and Plenty by Tracy Reese linen-blend full-cut pants ($220) are as roomy as sweats but a thousand times chicer. Mimi & Coco cotton ribbed tank ($39). Converse for Target skimmers ($30) are pure weekend indulgence.

Frank William Doughty passed through the gates of Heaven on October 9th at Christiana Hospital, in Newark, DE; he was 54 years old. Frank was born in Chateauroux, France on July 5, 1958 to Frank and Peggie Doughty.
Frank attended Dover High School, and proudly joined the United States Navy thereafter. Once he had completed his naval tour, he studied at Delaware Technical Community College, where he studied Industrial Plant Maintenance. Frank took his abilities as a handyman, who could fix just about anything, and then found work as a pipe fitter and welder. Frank was extremely proud of his tour in the Navy.
Frank was a rare soul, who exuded joy and happiness. He was quick with a laugh, and always ready with a joke; he smiled easily, and shared his happiness with everyone around him. Most importantly, he always tried to see the best in people. Music was a huge part of his life, a gift that was given to him by his mother, who taught him how to play the guitar. Frank was an incredible artist as well. Frank was deeply religious, and could often be found spending his Sundays in front of religious programming. Frank enjoyed volunteering his time with the little league, and was an apt crabber. He was also a great cook, and was happiest when he was doing so for his family. Frank was an animal person, and loved spending time with his cats, and treasured the time he had with his dog, Mitzie. Frank was well liked, and loved by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.
He is predeceased by his parents Frank Doughty, Jr. and Peggie Doughty, and his sister, Cheryl Lynn Doughty. He was also preceded by his longtime companion, his beloved dog, Mitzie. He is survived by his loving wife of 26 years, Wanda Doughty, his sons, William (Billy) Doughty, and his significant other, Theresa Downes, and Dylan Doughty, and his wife, Mandi. He is also missed by his sisters, Theresa Holden, and her husband, Thomas, Karen Courtnell and her husband, Duke, Sandra Manning and her husband, Thomas, and Debbie Spicer, and her significant other, Ed Gamm. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews that he loved very much, as well as other family and friends.
A memorial Service for Frank was held on Monday October 15th at the Pippin Funeral Home, and burial took place at the Lakeside Cemetery in Dover. Letters of condolences can be sent via www.pippinfuneralhome.com.

My father, who died last week at 91, had a complex life that typified that of Jewish men of his generation. But of course when you know someone well, you see just how unusual that life is. Or was.

Baseball Drops First Two Ivy League Games During Low-Scoring Pair At Yale
BOX SCORES: Yale 2, Princeton 1 (8 inn) l Yale 4, Princeton 2
Late scoring opportunities fell short for the Princeton baseball team in both ends of a doubleheader sweep by the Yale Bulldogs Sunday in New Haven. The losses were Princeton's first in Ivy League play, though Saturday's sweep at Brown ensures that the Tigers will go into Gehrig Division play next weekend with a winning Ivy mark.
Game One
A bases loaded walk in the eighth inning scored Robert Baldwin and clinched a 2-1 victory for Yale, which handed the Tigers their first loss in Ivy League play despite a late Princeton rally.
Princeton starter Cameron Mingo took the hard-luck loss, allowing only two runs in 7.1 innings while scattering only four hits and four walks. He allowed one run in the fourth without allowing a ball out of the infield, and he kept Yale off the board long enough to give his offense a final opportunity to tie the game.
That came in the top of the seventh, and it started with a one-out base hit by Jonathan York. Following a walk to Billy Arendt, Danny Baer drove an RBI single to right field to score York and tie the game. Arendt advanced to third, but a strikeout and a groundout kept him from giving Princeton the lead.
Mingo got out of the seventh unscathed, but a single and outfield error in the top of the eighth would ignite Yale's winning rally. A sacrifice bunt moved Baldwin to third, and a pair of walks loaded the bases and set up a force at home; unfortunately, it also left no margin for error. York came in to relieve Mingo, and he walked Richard Slenker to score Baldwin.
It was a tough end for York, who had three of Princeton's six hits and the team's lone RBI in the opener.
Game Two
Two double plays in the final three innings kept Princeton from breaking out of a late two-run deficit in a 4-2 loss.
Princeton scored runs in each of the first two innings on an RBI single by Tyler Servais and an RBI flyout by Danny Hoy, but the Yale pitching duo of David Hickey and Chris Moates limited the damage from there, allowing only five hits over the final seven innings and getting out of tough situations late.
Yale tied the score in the bottom of the third inning on back-to-back RBI flyouts, and then grabbed the lead on a two-out, two-run double by Baldwin in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Princeton threatened to immediately get those runs back by loading the bases with one out in the seventh inning, but Moates began a 1-3 double play by catching a line drive off Hoy's bat. The Tigers had runners on in both the eighth and the ninth innings, but neither would cross home plate. The final swing ended as a 3-6-3 double play off the bat of Nick Hernandez.
Keelan Smithers allowed only four runs in seven innings, but he took the loss. Chris Bodurian pitched the eighth and struck out one in relief.
Princeton is now 4-2 in Ivy League play, and still needs to make up a home doubleheader with Harvard that was rained out the previous weekend. The Tigers trail Penn by two in the loss column, as the Quakers went unbeaten through their tour of the Rolfe Division.
Princeton will host Monmouth Wednesday afternoon (3:30), and then will begin Gehrig Division play next Saturday with four games at Columbia.

Looking at this photograph of a recent rehearsal of the Metropolitan Opera's brand new production of Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto, you might feel inclined to say "I don't believe we're in Mantua anymore." Indeed, through director Michael Mayer's imaginative vision, the action time-warps from Mantua in the Sixteenth century to Sinatra-style Las Vegas razzle-dazzle.
Billed informally as "the Rat Pack Rigoletto" the new production of Verdi's masterpiece has been nodded favorably by New York critics and will be screened locally on Saturday, February 16, at noon, in Teatro Vallarta, as part of The MET: Live in HD series. As in past screenings, Vallarta Lifestyles' Managing Editor, Paco Ojeda, will offer a free introductory lecture at 10:40 am, in the theater mezzanine.
Rigoletto was premiered on March 11, 1851 to a sold-out audience and remains one the Italian composer's most memorable masterpieces, featuring memorable melodies, such as La donna è mobile, arguably his most popular. The Met's new production, set in the 1960's is without a doubt one of the season's most accessible for audiences old and new.
Tickets for Rigoletto are $250 pesos per person, available at Teatro Vallarta's box office, or through Ticketmaster. Teatro Vallarta is located at Uruguay 184, El Centro. The reminder of this season's MET screenings are listed here.

Anyone think Ejim might get lost in the fray? I came in thinking he would be one of our best players, but last night was outshone by Niang, Clyburn, and mixes of Gibson and Booker. Last night he didn't even get the minutes I thought he would, but didn't need to with the way our other guys were playing. Also, who here thinks Booker is a bit of an offensive liability yet, I'd like to see him come inside instead of his soft outside turn he uses..Right now he looks like our version of the Thunder's Kendrick Perkins, just stick him in the corner on offense where he's not a problem he is very much an enforcer and a defensive presence, a la Big Perk..Thoughts on both?
"Really Jail wouldn't be so bad (If he had CF)..I'd wake up-check Cyclone Fanatic and not have to go to work, so there's a plus" -MEClone
Ejim will play a huge role since he is our best rebounder. I am not worried about Mel at all.
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
He played better in the 2nd half. He always got some time at the 3. I doubt he'll see much time there this year once Babb comes back, but next year he could see more time there.
Can we get by with Niang, Ejim, and Clyburn as a front court? I really think we need at least Percy in there for size. Ultimately I doubt we'll see Percy and Booker in much at the same time so the other three can rotate in the two forward positions.
He's a quiet, important leader. He won't be lost in the lineup, but maybe not notices a lot.

Sic Semper Jayhawks
He'll quietly help us win games, and step up when he needs to.
If Melvin gets less time playing, I predict it will be because the team is moving players out and resting them so they are constantly fresh. That will mean the team is playing very well and he will be happy playing on a very good team. I think we are sitting pretty good. Just need to get polished in the first half.

He's just one of those players that you can't truly appreciate how good he is/was until he graduates. He's a quiet killer.

This. Ejim will rarely jump out at you, even in some of his bigger games in the past. He'll quietly put in his 10 & 8, and play great defense. His minutes might go down. I see him sharing more time this year with Niang at the 4, and getting occasional, spot time at the 3.
Melvin needs to step up in the big games. This was not a big game.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
He will be a starter, so unless that is considered getting lost in the fray, then no.
I am not sure it will happen, but if Melvin could tighten up his handle, his (and the team's) offense would really open up.
He is a bit too small to have a true low post game, but if he could be darn effective taking the bigger posts with the dribble-drive.
Melvin isn't the type of guy that will take over a game.
He will always be that guy that you don't notice until you look at the stat sheet at the end of the game.
As for last night, Ejim's minutes were cut short because of his foul trouble.
Mel only lost minutes last night in the first half due to foul trouble. He plays good D, rebounds, and is efficient on offense and knows his role. He was also up helping direct traffic and encourage guys while on the bench. He is a captain for a reason....invaluable.
Melvin will have some big games, wait and see... It's great that we have me next year as well. His exprience in big games for us in the past is extremely valuable for us moving forward this season. I whole heartedly agree with previous posts calling Mel a "quiet killer". He will definately be rememebered by Cyclone fans when his career is all said and done as being a great player, and a class act!

Exactly. He won't get a lot of ink, because he quietly goes about getting it done. Not afraid to stick his nose in, and when needed, will pull the trigger. I'd like to see him be a bit more selfish on offense, but with the lineup we have, he doesn't have to be.

Arbitration is a process in which parties to a dispute agree to present their case to a trained, neutral, third-party with expertise in the subject matter of the dispute (the arbitrator), and then let the arbitrator issue a final, binding decision.
Shippers and railroads can agree in advance to arbitrate certain types of disputes by "opting in" to the STB's arbitration program at any time. When a party opts into the program, it may specify which types of arbitration-eligible matters it is willing to arbitrate. The STB has approved the following four types of matters that parties can choose to arbitrate under the program:
· Demurrage
· Accessorial charges
· Misrouting or mishandling of rail cars
· Disputes over a carrier's published rules and practices
applied to particular rail transportation.
Parties may agree to arbitrate additional matters on a case-by-case basis, so long as the dispute involves a matter within the STB's statutory jurisdiction, the matter is not expressly prohibited by the arbitration rules, and the Board gives its consent. Parties may also utilize the STB's arbitration program even if one or both have not opted in prior to a dispute arising. The program sets a monetary award cap of $200,000 for each arbitration, although the parties may choose to establish a different award cap amount (either higher or lower).
Arbitrations will be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators (unless the parties agree to the use of a single-neutral arbitrator), with each party (or side) choosing one person to serve as a party-appointed arbitrator. There are no restrictions on who this person may be – parties may appoint an employee to serve as an arbitrator. The third arbitrator will be neutral, chosen by the parties from a list of arbitrators compiled by the STB. The list of arbitrators will be drawn from professional arbitration associations such as the American Arbitration Association, Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The STB will pay the cost of obtaining this list, although the parties must pay for the arbitrators that they have chosen and split the costs of the neutral arbitrator.
The arbitrator must issue a decision no later than 30 days after the end of the evidentiary phase of arbitration. Parties can appeal the arbitration decision to the STB or to a court of appropriate jurisdiction under the Federal Arbitration Act. The STB will modify or vacate an arbitration award only on grounds that the arbitration decision reflects a clear abuse of arbitral authority or discretion or directly contravenes the STB's statutory authority.

American culture may tell us it's all downhill after 18, but our own eyes tell us that while a woman can't be forever young, she can be perceived as forever beautiful. Especially if she lives in France. Or India. Or Ghana. Or a surprising number of other places where one's value doesn't diminish after adolescence. And though there's no denying the worldwide creep of America's fondness for the under-30 set (China, known for its veneration of parents and grandparents, now has the second-highest face-lift rate in the world), not every country buys into that concept. Read on for locales where age brings rewards.
Sinaia, Romania
Angela Gheorghiu
In Romania, embracing your sensuality—something most women get better at with age—is central to being beautiful.
Who she is A world-renowned soprano, Gheorghiu has performed in virtually every major opera house in the world, beginning with her 1992 international debut in La Bohème at the Royal Opera House in London. Reviewers have called her glamorous and sensual.
Romanian beauty defined "We are a Latin people surrounded by Slavic countries, and it is the mix of these two heritages that gives us such exquisite looks," says Gheorghiu. "We have that combination of classic beauty and modern sexiness. It is hard to beat!"
Why aging is attractive "As a child, all the time my mother would tell me, 'Be proud of your body. Be proud of who you are.' This gave me strength," she says. "Today I can honestly say I was attractive in my twenties but I am even better now! Romanian women are beautiful at every age, and we know it."
Understatement is out "Don't listen to a Romanian man who says he prefers a 'natural' woman," says Gheorghiu. "He might think he likes a woman without any makeup, but what does he know? With a little mascara and red lipstick, trust me, he will like you even more!"
The Romanian beauty regimen In cities like Bucharest, spas and health clubs are popular, and Gheorghiu hits the gym or pool for most of her exercise. "Of course," she adds, "the best exercise of all, at every age, is to make love!"

This concert presents a wonderful selection of Czech music from the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. When Czech nationalism reared its head against Habsburg domination, Bedřich Smetana was one of the first to express this patriotism through his music. With his cycle of six symphonic poems entitled Má vlast, which includes The Moldau, he paid tribute to the beauty of his native country. Antonín Dvořák continued down the same road, but tried to bring music more into the European mainstream, as evidenced by his masterly Cello Concerto. Finally, with his 'speech melodies' Leoš Janáček allowed the essence of the Czech language to permeate his musical style, and with orchestral works like Taras Bulba, a rhapsody based on Gogol's story, he put his own stamp on European music. The programme for this concert was drawn up by Gerd Albrecht who had to pull out suddenly for health reasons. He is replaced by Antonio Méndez who agreed to perform this same exceptional and demanding programme.
You have conducted work by Tchaikovsky and Dvořák on several occasions. What is it that attracts you to romantic music?
I'm really interested in the romantic repertoire. Musically I feel like an adopted son of Germany: I am very familiar with the German repertoire – and by extension with Dvořák, Tchaikovsky and the whole of late romanticism. Recently I conducted Dvořák's Eighth Symphony with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, his Sixth with the Tonhalle Orchestra from Zürich and his Seventh in Belfast. Next year I'm conducting the Sixth again, this time in Moscow with the Russian National Orchestra. Dvořák is a composer I like to include in a programme, a composer I feel comfortable with…perhaps because he is so close to the Germanic music tradition. Dvořák knew how to get the best out of an orchestra and each of his symphonies sounds different.
What do find particularly attractive about the Slavic repertoire compared to the German?
In a way I think the two repertoires share a lot of common ground. The friendship between Brahms and Dvořák, the two most important exponents of German and Slavic music at the time, is well known. In terms of sound and phrasing they have a lot in common. Both strive for a particular sound: that dark, deep sound of the strings, that noble sound of the brasses. So, for example, there are many similarities between Brahms' Second Symphony and Dvořák's Sixth Symphony and between Brahms' Third and Dvořák's Seventh.
It is well known that Smetana, Dvořák and Janáček expressed their love of their native country in their music. Do you take the composer's national feeling into account in your interpretation?
A composer's music is intrinsically influenced by his language, just as it is also defined by his cultural background and even his country's landscape. I think that what distinguishes Janáček from Smetana and Dvořák is the study he made of the Czech language. That's why Janáček's music is more clearly influenced by the Czech language and culture. This cannot be ignored when you listen to Jenůfa or Taras Bulba.
You are conducting a programme put together by another conductor. How do you deal with this?
As maestro Albrecht had to step aside, it is my responsibility to ensure that the concert is a success. First and foremost I have to bear in mind that the orchestra spent the whole of January working on Jenůfa with Ludovic Morlot. Though that is a different work, the orchestra has nevertheless developed its own language and form for playing Janáček. The time spent on Jenůfa is a legacy I have inherited. I will build on that and strive for what I always see as my mission, which is to bring out the sonority of each composer within a cohesive programme.
Talking about coherence, what connection do you see between the works in this concert?
Taras Bulba is the central piece to which two other works had to be added: Dvořák's Cello Concerto and Smetana's The Moldau, undoubtedly one of his most celebrated pieces, and also one that is closely bound up with the Czech culture. It is a very consistent and easy to follow trajectory, both for the orchestra and for the audience. Regardless of the nationalist orientation, this is a very clear and logical programme. Each work inherits something from the previous work. Dvořák is the beneficiary of Smetana and the central figure in late-nineteenth-century Czech music. Then Janáček is perhaps the main beneficiary of Dvořák. By linking Smetana, Dvořák and Janáček in that way, this programme reveals a certain 'alternation of generations' within Czech music. So the chronological order illustrates the evolution of Slavic music in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

|Breen, Zuniga Voted All-WAC
DENVER—Senior defenders Chelsie Breen and Nitalia Zuniga were voted first and second-team All-Conference, respectively, by the Western Athletic Conference coaches the conference office announced on Tuesday.
"They both have had fantastic seasons," head coach Pete Showler commented. "Not everybody has seen that based on our results. Chelsie is not the fourth in games started in Idaho history for no reason. Everything she and Nitalia have given to this program, both these honors are well deserved. It goes without saying that we [the coaching staff] see it day in and day out. It is great when other coaches can recognize that."
Breen, a Cheney, Wash., native has started 79 games in her four-year career, ranking her fourth all-time in Idaho history. Breen has played a total of 80 matches for the Silver and Gold, totaling three goals and six points. This season she has been able to land six shots on goal, spending some time in the offensive mix.
Zuniga, a Ventura, Calif., native has been a major presence in the defensive backfield for the Vandals in 2013. Zuniga has played a total of 1,498 minutes this season, the fourth most this season. In the Sept. 27 game against New Mexico State, Zuniga doubled her career assist total. Against the Aggies she had an assist on all three Vandal goals, giving her six career assists from the defensive back line.
In their careers Idaho has recorded 14 shutout wins and 32 wins total.
Friday, the two seniors will look to extend their careers on the field. Idaho will travel to Las Cruces, N.M., to battle Seattle U in the first round of the WAC Tournament.

In 1871, on his first walk into Hetch Hetchy Valley, John Muir was struck, as all visitors after him would be, by its uncanny resemblance to Yosemite. Both valleys, Muir noted, run generally east to west, with a northward bend in the middle. At Hetch Hetchy's western end stand massive spires resembling the Cathedral Rocks of Yosemite. On the north side, exactly where El Capitan would be in Yosemite, towers a similar fortress of granite, Hetch Hetchy Dome. Down the eastern shoulder of this monolith plunges Wapama Falls, 1,800 feet high in those days, pummeling the valley floor in approximately the spot that Yosemite Falls pummels its own valley.
Hetch Hetchy's floor was apportioned to groves and clearings much as Yosemite's was, with species almost identical: black oaks, live oaks, Douglas fir, scattered sugar pines and silver fir. Tall grass with edible seeds, hetch hetchy in Miwok, dominated the lower meadow. The Tuolumne River flowed through stands of alder, willow, poplar and dogwood. The stream had enough gradient in a few places to generate riffles, but for the most part, according to Muir, it ran slowly, "often with a lingering expression, as if half inclined to become a lake." All of which describes exactly how the Merced River flows through Yosemite Valley – no need to change a word.
The "second Yosemite" is gone, drowned in the 1920s by O'Shaughnessy Dam, in order to supply San Francisco with water. Muir's phrase "half inclined to become a lake" is now deeply ironic. The dam engineers took the river up wholly on its half inclination; the valley is now Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. The dam was a technological marvel for its time, but historians agree that there were wiser places to impound water for San Francisco – places that all remain. Muir died, heartbroken, in 1914, the year after passage of the Raker Act, which cleared the way for the dam and violated Yosemite National Park.
In 1952, my father, David Brower, was hired as the first executive director of the Sierra Club, an organization founded in 1892 by Muir. Like the founder, my father was a charismatic and an ecstatic, though somewhat less so than Muir, and at the Sierra Club he restored a Muir-like style of leadership. The lives of the two conservationists ran parallel. Both were autodidacts. Both were hopelessly in love with the Sierra Nevada. Both loved and nurtured the Sierra Club. Both hated dams.
"Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down," wrote Robert Frost. Yes, and something there is that does not love a dam. It did not escape my father, as he made his reputation fighting Southwestern dams in the '50s and '60s, that O'Shaughnessy Dam in Hetch Hetchy, and Muir's long struggle against it, were foreshadowings of his own tribulations; that the dead water of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir made a potent symbol for what he and his movement were up against, not just on the Colorado and its tributaries, and not just on rivers, but with threatened species and ecosystems and landscapes everywhere on Earth.
On May 13, 1955, at the height of his campaign against dams that would have flooded Dinosaur National Monument, my father drove to Hetch Hetchy with his 16mm movie camera. In that one day, half spent in Yosemite Valley and half in Hetch Hetchy, he shot the Sierra Club film he called "Two Yosemites." It was effective propaganda. Hetch Hetchy Reservoir's water level was down 180 feet that day, its "bathtub ring" particularly tall and ugly.
"What you see here is what you'll see in most fluctuating reservoirs and what no one should see in a park," he said in his narration. "Stumps where the basin was cleared, stumps and more stumps, exposed and re-exposed, until silt finally buries them. The stream, which was one of the most beautiful in the Sierra, is silted in. Tuolumne Falls is covered. The flat living space is silted. And as soon as the silt is dry enough, it is on the move, a dustbowl, from the silt that sloughed off the canyon sides when the reservoir was full."
In the mid '80s, the damnation of American rivers reversed, and since then dozens of dams have come down. If any trumpet announced the dawn of the new era, it sounded in 1987, when Don Hodel, interior secretary under Ronald Reagan, proposed removal of O'Shaughnessy. The next year, a team of three biologists from Yosemite National Park wrote a paper analyzing various alternatives for the restoration of Hetch Hetchy Valley, operating from a set of assumptions that strongly favored one alternative: that the valley was capable of restoring itself.
This was my father's view. In the first year it might be necessary to expedite the growth of grass, he conceded, and black oaks might have to be replanted. "Leave the rest to nature, and enjoy the spectacle of recovery," he wrote. "The jay and squirrel are experts at planting oaks. The wind also carries a whole inventory of spores, so there come the ferns, mosses and lichens. Pines and other conifers know how to roll seeds downhill. Happily, Hetch Hetchy Valley is narrow, and the forces of renewal can creep across it."
No dam as big as O'Shaughnessy has yet to fall, and huge political obstacles remain. But times they are a changin'. Something there is that doesn't love a dam. Soon again the river may run through it.

Texas Chili At Grand America 555 S. Main Street, SLC, 801-304-8696 Generations of dedicated range cookies and cocineros perfected the transformation of tough trail beef into a complex, cult-worthy dish. Argue all you want, but it takes a Texan to tease the soul into a bowl of red, and Lone Star transplant Chef Phillip Yates has got the touch, down to the homemade Fritos.
Banana Cream Pie At Ruth's Chris 275 S. West Temple, SLC, 801-363-2000 Ruth's Chris's business model is based on raising the simple to the sublime - witness the apotheosis of meat and potatoes.

Chicken Hash At Pago 878 S. 900 East, SLC, 801-532-0777 Hash is a word that conjures up Mom's leftovers, but chef Michael Richey's carefully constructed crusted patty of roast chicken meat, goat cheese and sweet onions deserves pride of place. We mean plate.
Lobster Corn Dogs At Talisker on Main 515 Main Street, Park City, 435-658-5479 Not to get all Lone Star-centric, but it's a fact that corny dogs were invented at the Texas State Fair by a family named Fletcher, so in Utah I consider myself somewhat of an authority. Chef Murcko's corndogs combine the sweet nuttiness of corn with the sweet meat of lobster, with butter as the flavor bridge.

Fantasy potluck Dinner The key to a great dinner party is great conversation about food, yes, but also art, life and everything. Here's our guest list.
The Winer & The Dancer Tracey Thompson & Stephen brown Tracey is with local wine brokerage Vinelore, representing select wine and spirit companies. Obviously, a great choice for a potluck guest. She brought a couple of wines from Utah's first "Urban Winery," Kiler Grove. "They make a beautiful Trebbiano and a killer Zinfandel blend called "Zinergy" as well as "what I always bring," a rosé - this one from Sicily. Why these wines: "The Trebbiano is a beautiful crisp white, so versatile with food. The Zin is super with anything coming off that grill. Good rosé is the perfect summer wine." Stephen, Tracey's husband, is the imagination and legs behind SBDance. A vegetarian "forever," his tried and true potluck dish is curried lentils, which his family has learned to love, and he has learned not to hard boil because it breaks the skins. Why this dish: "There has to be something for vegetarians at a potluck, besides the chips and salsa."
The Framer Foodie M. Scott Gardner Gardner owns The Second Artist, a fine art framing business featuring frames custom built, gilded and finished by Scott's hand. He's also an avid foodie whose training is pure experience. "We seek out good food whenever we travel," he says. He believes art and food go together. "As a framer, my job is not to compete, it's to complement subtly. Food is similar," he says. "The plate is the frame." Why this dish: "A friend who's a personal chef, Mandy Hicks, shared the recipe with me - leaves of Belgian endive filled with a mixture of spiced pecans, dried cranberries, red onion and a mild blue cheese. (Nature Valley crumbles work fine.) It's finger food, keeps well and is served at room temp. Plus it's versatile - you can serve it as a first course, a salad, a cocktail tidbit."
The Arty Intellects Adam & Dessi Price The attorney turned art patron in a spectacular way when he conceived of 337, a downtown building painted by local artists before its demolition. Now he's left the law altogether and is the director of our main contemporary art venue, Salt Lake Art Center. Adam and his wife Dessi are equally into the art of food. Why this dish: Bread pudding with bourbon sauce is a recipe Adam's family has been enjoying for years, and not just at holiday season, either. Art director and Adam's wife, Dessi is a seriously dedicated cook whose repertoire ranges far outside her native Eastern European cuisine and whose natural attention to detail pays off in the kitchen like it does in the studio. She's also the main family cook. Why this dish: This Bulgarian feta and egg pastry is Dessi's specialty. "It's good at room temperature or hot, so you don't have to do a lot right before you serve it."
The Maven Entrpreneur Kathie Chadbourne The food talent behind Ninth South Deli, Kathie Chadbourne has a long food resumé in SLC, including the original Avenues Bakery and Broadway Pharmacy Market. When retired engineer Randy Harmsen wanted to fulfill his dream of a real deli in Utah, he chose Chadbourne to make it come true. She found authentic boiled bagels, pastrami, pumpernickel, and fills the case with all kinds of knishes: Yukon potato knish, sweet potato knish, broccoli fontina knish, corned beef and Emmenthaler knish. Why this dish: "You can just reheat knish in a 350-degree oven for about seven minutes and they're easy to serve (no forks or plates required)."
The Local Gourmands Robert Angellili & Amber Billingsley Currently chef at Vinto, Angellili is known as the "Mushroom Man" because he sells wild mushrooms to chefs and at the Farmers Market. Previously, he was a skier and dancer. That's when he became friends with Stephen Brown. ("What's Stephen bringing to the potluck? Lentils?" he asked.) Angellili brings chicken cacciatore - with plenty of wild mushrooms. Why this dish: "You can make it in a crockpot - dredge and fry the chicken, then cook it for two or three hours, hold it and reheat." Pastry chef extraordinaire and Angellili's wife, Amber's resumé includes her own line of Italian-style cakes, Farina. She makes all the sweets for Vinto - gelato, apple crostata, and sweet specials - making the café a dessert destination. Why this dish: "Butterscotch budino (Italian for pudding) with salted caramel sauce, whipped cream and hazelnut praline can all be made ahead." Amber added a buttery hazelnut praline sable, or cookie.
Great Groceries

Best New "Made in Utah" Food Here's the difference: Nu Nooz Artisan Pasta is made from all local ingredients - Utah Hard Red Wheat, locally-milled Durum Semolina, Redmond Real Salt, even (in some pastas) fresh eggs from free-range heritage chickens. It's slow-dried, giving a rough texture that captures all the flavor of sauce and olive oil. Find it at Cali's, the Downtown Farmers Market and the Sugar House Farmers Market. nunooz.net
Best Beverages
Best Iced Tea Bay Leaf Cafe Iced tea is as essential to Southern cuisine as wine is to French. But few places outside the South know how to serve it. It should be strong - a deep, clear amber color - and plentiful - iced tea glasses hold a pint. 159 S. Main St. SLC, 801-359-8490

Best Bowls for 8 Days a Week
Ramen At Dojo 423 W. 300 South, SLC, 801-328-3333 Strong, clear pork broth unifies the meat, noodles and veg into a single entity that sings in the mouth.
Tomato Soup with Coconut At Alpine House at Canyons Resort Village, Sundial Building (north of the cabriolet), Park City, 435-615-4828. When you remember that the tomato is a fruit, the addition of chewy-sweet coconut makes perfect sense. Or you could skip the intellectual exercise and trust your taste buds.
Roasted Kabocha Squash Soup At Shabu 442 Main Street, Park City, 435-645-7253. Squash soup is so popular it verges on boring, but not this version. Its velvety texture is spiked with candied pecans, five-spice squash seeds and Chantilly cream.
Borscht At the Paris 1500 S. 1500 East, SLC, 435-486-5585. This borscht tastes as beautiful as it looks.
Corn Bisque At Bambara 202 S. Main Street, SLC, 801-363-5454 So silky smooth you kind of want to wear it instead of eat it. Not advisable. Just take the time to savor it and love how this soup slides down your throat.
Chilled Melon Soup with Cilantro Cream At 350 Main 350 Main Street, Park City, 435-649-3140 Cold soups are often underachievers, lacking intensity and a sense of purpose, but Michael DeClerc's melon soup has backbone and even dash, thanks to the pungency of cilantro.
Zuppa Cotta At Cucina Toscana 307 W. Pierpont Avenue, SLC, 801-328-3463 Restaurant impresario Valter Nassi calls this his "best recipe." It figures, since Nassi was born in Tuscany, land of bean-eaters. This soup makes a meal, full of cannellini beans, fresh vegetables and porcini, finished with a glamorous swirl of truffle oil.
