I didn't get a press pass to the latest elite eats event in Pebble Beach, so I took a mini-tour of the abundant Noodle houses from Monterey to Marina. You know, the mom and pop noodle and boba shops that sell an assortment of Vietnamese fare: noodles, curries, lemon chicken, and boba-pearl teas.
If you have not noticed, pho makers are staking a claim here in Monterey on the wallets of those hungry to get out of the house for a meal that isn't from KFC and has a price range fitting the 99%-ers.
However, several restaurants I rated don't have what it takes to satisfy. My tastebuds experienced the gamut on this excursion: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Here are a few I have visited over the last 6 months:
Chopsticks is a franchise, but individual shops vary in quality - I did not care for the broth nor the service at the Monterey Chopstix. Seaside's Chopstix is known to have the best of the boba teas, and the soups are a better quality... but there is a lot of wait time involved, not to mention mishandled orders, so cool your jets when you sit down, and double check your order. It will be worth it!
The Orient has boba teas, sake, and a very good noodle soup. The prices are higher (you can also get Mu Shu), but their broth has a very good reputation. I was sitting at a very well-to-do eatery on Del Monte in Monterey, and was told by a restaurant fanatic that The Orient had the freshest, cleanest broth of any in the county, rivaled only by The Noodle Bar in Marina, which is now my all time favorite.
Right down the street from Chopsticks is the tiniest eatery in the Seaside: The Noodle Bar, 1944 Fremont Blvd, which sports a 4 star rating on Yelp - and very modest, in that there is only seating for about 12 at a counter unless you take out. There are no tables and often a line forms right behind as you belly up for your meal. The fare is cheaper, and I would give it a higher rating food-wise as well as price-wise. It was very quaint and showed tons of character.
The Marina Noodle Bar Restaurant (related to Seaside) was my all time favorite. The ultimate fragrant, clear broth, crispest of bean sprouts, fresh-picked Thai basil, cilantro and Jalapeno garnish - I literally swooned over my meal. They even accommodate menu alterations. Cash-only is something you should note, though they do have an ATM if you need.
Too bad neither places sell alcohol, as a nice hot sake would go well with these meals.
Pho King, on Fremont has a 92% rating on UrbanSpoon, but we absolutely do not' agree (perhaps the chef was off that Sunday). The broth was cloudy, the sliced chicken was crumbly dry, and the noodles seemed overcooked, with too much fish sauce thrown into the mix. A yellow, vegetable curry dish I ordered had a pasty, gooey consistency with hardly any curry flavor. The veggies were definitely not fresh. In fact, I just noted that the link on Yelp for recommendations is innacurate, so don't go by that link, people are perhaps rating the wrong establishment!
Taste of Vietnam a few blocks down from The Noodle Bar took up the slack from The Saigon. The ambiance there is tasteful, with a soothing red interior and high ceilings - serving wine and beer, but no sake for some reason. (This may have changed by now.) I had a few meals here that rated well, but the prices were higher, thanks to the ambiance I guess.
I will keep you posted on these as I am now addicted to this healthier, fast(er), and cheaper, artful eating experience - please comment so we can keep a watchful eye on these restaurants as they develop over time. Perhaps someday I will share my own home made recipe contact me for questions and curiosity!

AT&T Samsung Google Nexus S now available exclusively at Best Buy
Just as previously announced, Best Buy has started selling the AT&T version of the Samsung-made Google Nexus S. This is the third carrier-specific adaptation of the Nexus S in the US, after the original (intended to work on T-Mobile and internationally), and then Sprint's recently launched Nexus S 4G. AT&T's Nexus S does 3G on that network, and can now be yours for just $99.99. That's if you agree to a new two-year service agreement, of course.
The Nexus S won't be available in AT&T stores and direct from the carrier online though, as it's an exclusive to Best Buy. So if you want one, you'll have to go there to order it.
It's good to see Google put its second-generation Nexus device on as many carriers as possible, and at $99.99 this is a steal. Not necessarily for the hardware punch, but for the fact that it will (hopefully) always get new versions of the operating system first. So for those of you who care about these things and have AT&T as your carrier this is a great deal.
The Samsung Google Nexus S has a 1 GHz single-core processor, 512 MB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage space, a 5 MP autofocus camera with video recording, a 4-inch 800×480 capacitive curved touchscreen, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a 1500 mAh battery.

Designer Giorgio Armani presented a most stunning black and white Emporio Armani Fall 2014 collection for Milan Fashion Week Womenswear Autumn/Winter 2014 on February 21, 2014 in Milan, Italy.
This incredibly chic Menswear-inspired offering from Armani embraces traditionally masculine elements in its detailing such as tailored pantsuits, gaucho pants, neckties and oxford shoes, to which he adds feminine charm in the way of elegant LBDs (little black dress), pinafores, extra-wide palazzo style pants, pretty pointed pumps and punches of bright color such as mint green.
A touch of whimsy is added by accessorizing with add-on collar-and-necktie edged with white dots, even necktie necklaces and oversized felt hats that are reminiscent of cloches from the 1920s and 1930s.
The predominantly black and white color palette has room for shades of grey from pearl to charcoal as well as mint and jade green for a hint of color.
Particularly noteworthy are Emporio Armani's black, white and jade green herringbone patterned coat, the black and white spotted palazzos with matching shoes and crossbody bag, the scoop-necked LBD with peplum and the plush grey, white and green fur coat.
Armani keeps things simple yet this is undoubtedly a very elegant and infinitely wearable autumn/winter collection from Giorgio Armani for his Emporio Armani line with something for all tastes. Enjoy the slideshow and video…

College of Marin Joins MARINet
COM Library newest addition to Marin County online catalog program
KENTFIELD, CA—August 27, 2014—The fall 2014 semester marks the official launch of College of Marin's participation in the Marin Automated Resources and Information Network (MARINet). The program is a consortium of seven Marin County public libraries, Dominican University's Archbishop Alemany Library, and now the COM Library.
MARINet allows patrons with a library card from any of the participating libraries to borrow items from the joint online network. The entire catalog is accessible via the MARINet website where borrowers can request items to be delivered to their home library. One of the founding libraries, the Marin County Free Library (MCFL), provides pick up and delivery for all books twice a day. MCFL Novato and South Novato Branch Manager Janet Doerge welcomes the new addition. "MCFL is excited to have COM on board. The more libraries the merrier, as it opens up the available access to all library users in Marin County and beyond," said Doerge.
Pearl Ly, the newly appointed director of library services at COM, is thrilled with the College's inclusion in the consortium. "Most importantly, we are increasing library access for COM students and staff by being a part of the program," Ly said. After a soft launch of the program over the summer, Ly says that MCFL does a great job of organizing the daily orders. "It's been seamless so far, but we anticipate a big increase in daily requests with the start of the fall semester."
MARINet not only provides access to all participating library catalogs, but patrons can request free Bay Area museum passes through the Discover & Go program. More information can be found on the MARINet website.
MARINet is just one of the positive changes the COM Library is implementing to create more resources for students and staff. Ly stresses the importance of the ongoing Textbook Program funded by Associated Students College of Marin (ASCOM), the College's student body organization, in which textbooks for classes are bought and available for short check out in the library. Textbook costs are high and while not all sections can be covered, it provides access for students who can't afford the needed reading materials.
Ly also is very proud of the upcoming multi-purpose space in the library that will be the new home for six William Keith paintings donated to the College in 1945. This room will serve as a place for small events and as a relaxing space for students to study. Ly hopes to host calming events such as teatimes to bring more students and staff to the library. Ly emphasizes that they are trying to make the library a comfortable place for students and staff to spend time, not just use the Internet or check out a book. "President [David Wain] Coon and I agree that we want to get back to the days when the library was the heart of the College."

Great Turnout For UMass Football Youth Clinic At Gillette
April 13, 2013
Over 130 children in grades 1-through-8 attended this Spring's Youth Clinic put on by the UMass football team at the Dana-Farber Field House at Gillette Stadium on Saturday morning. The young football players spent the day learning drills from the coaching staff while having a chance to get autographs and pose for photos with the players.
Following the clinic, the players and their families were invited to watch the Minutemen's open practice and scrimmage session.
This marked the second straight year UMass has held a Youth Clinic at Gillette Stadium in head coach Charley Molnar's tenure.
The Minutemen will hold another free Youth Clinic next Saturday, April 20, as part of the Spring Game festivities.
The day will be full of activities for UMass football alumni and fans. For the second year in a row, the Minutemen will hold a Captain's Breakfast where former team captains will gather with the current senior class. Last year's event featured the return of several Hall of Fame players whose impact resonated with players and staff.
There will also be an autograph session with current and alumni players along with the Youth Clinic prior to the Spring Game. The autograph session will begin at 12:30 PM, while the Youth Clinic will run from 1:00-2:30 PM.
To register for the Youth Clinic (children in grades 1-through-8), please contact the UMass Athletic Marketing Department at 413-577-7252 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once again, the annual Spring Game will feature current Minutemen taking on a team of Alumni players at McGuirk Stadium. The game will begin at 4:00 PM as the current Minutemen take on the Alumni Team for the first half before moving to a traditional intra-squad scrimmage for the second half.
Lots open for tailgating at Noon and there will be several other events and activities going on for fans including performances by the UMass Marching Band.

Baked Breaded Cauliflower "Mozzarella Sticks"
Cauliflower and I used to have a complicated relationship…in that we didn't have a relationship at all. This wondrous white vegetable used to scare me.
I never really had it growing up because my dad doesn't like the taste of it. And when I finally started to truly love vegetables, I found out cauliflower was a vegetable that didn't exactly smell great — unless you bread it and bake it in a lovely mixture of Italian seasoning and Panko…
But when cauliflower and I really met, and talked through our issues, it became clear we were meant for each other. Mashed cauliflower puree, cauliflower pizza crust, roasted cauliflower, it goes on. And this baked breaded cauliflower is just another dish to add to the list.
Eating these cauliflower bites is like eating mozzarella sticks, except without all the oil and cheese and frying. They're even delicious dipped in marinara sauce. A healthier (and dare I say tastier) option for a very heavy snack food has arrived with this dish. Let us rejoice.
It's a bit messy to make these, and your hands will get gloppy with Panko and egg wash. But it's so worth it. The process itself is pretty simple, actually. You'll have leftover flour and Panko, but that's necessary to make sure everything gets coated.
When cutting the cauliflower, keep in mind that you should cut small pieces. They grow quite a bit once covered in all the layers. You'll want them bite size — easy finger food.
I hope cauliflower doesn't scare you, like it once did to me. If it does, trust me when I tell you this is the recipe to get your relationship back on track.
– 1 cauliflower
– 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp pepper
– 2 eggs
– 1/3 cup milk
– 3 tsp Italian seasoning
– 4 tbs Parmesan cheese
– 2 cups Panko crumbs
– Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
– Prepare cauliflower by de-stemming and separating florets into small chunks.
– Place flour, salt, and pepper in one bowl. Eggs, milk, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning, and cheese go in the second bowl. Remaining Italian seasoning and Panko go in third bowl.
– Dip each cauliflower bite into flour, egg wash, and then bread crumbs. Place each on a baking sheet.
– Bake for about 30 minutes, until cauliflower starts browns. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

Gays Create New ABC Hero Comic To Trick Children
The gays are at it again. We all know gay people love hero "comic" books, because the name makes kids put their guard down and think it's all about laughs and super heroes, when the truth is it is just a ploy by gays to corrupt the minds of the innocent and then dally them!
We've already revealed how DC "comics" and Marvel "comics" have been part of the homogay agenda, with characters such as Superman, Spiderman, Bat-man and even Wonder Women having gay/lezzi moments.
Only months ago we prayed and got the gay's favorite comic site, Scans Daily, shut down by the hand of God. God got tired of them freely posting their filth on the internet and banned them.
Now we see they have once more teamed with comics to create a gay alphabet hero comic book. They use comic characters and they all do something corrupt and evil in each one.
Notice how on J they use pink and a gayly posed man. I also see village people putting the woo on Yoda in the Y, and then if you look at W you see they try to use Wonder Women the feminist to tempt men into supporting that sick lifestyle.Warning: The following comic book is homogay agenda. Please first pray and then have all women/children immediately exit the room before viewing. If you print this to show to parenting group please also burn all paper it is printed upon when the meeting is over.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused

- Photos

- Events
You take in a deep breath and slowly exhale. The only sound that registers in your brain is that of your heartbeat, seemingly in slow motion. Some corner of your mind is calculating wind speed, how far away your target is, drop ratios, bullet trajectory and all of the tiny elements that could ruin your shot, but in this moment you're operating on pure instinct and adrenaline. In the tiny space between heartbeats, you squeeze the trigger and see your target drop. The sound of the shot and the smell of gunpowder make time suddenly speed up, and you move on to the next target. Silent, stealthy and swift, you are the Ghost Warrior and you have accomplished your mission. Slip on the ghillie suit of a lethal Special Ops assassin in "Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2". Hone your skills in urban, jungle, and mountain environments that incorporate real-life factors of wind speed, distance, limited visibility and more into your experience. Not to worry, you have a spotter on hand to set up each shot and the luxury of night- and thermo-vision goggles so that no matter what the conditions, you'll be able to eliminate your target. Stunning visuals brought to life by the CryEngine3 technology immerse you in the mission, while the Bullet Cam mode ensures that you get to revel in your best shots. Sniping is an art and in "Ghost Warrior 2" you get to be Michelangelo.

Green Wednesday: 5 Roofing Types Rated on Eco-Friendliness
From Dean Dowd on April 30, 2008 in Green Remodeling
How green is your roofing? By this, I refer to standard materials as opposed to roofs with solar panels or actual plantlife growing from them. Low Impact Living recently published a great piece on roofing types, and much of the info is highlighted below. Remember, the roofing types mentioned here are not rated on the basis of cost or beauty, but more so on durability, maintenance, composition, and disposal. Find your next roofing type and give your own roof a grade. Asphalt Thumbs Down
- Asphalt is often dark-colored, which means it absorbs heat and raises outdoor temperatures. This can actually increase community air pollution and air conditioning costs!
- Since its made from petroleum products, they release pollutants when theyre manufactured.
- Doesnt insulate well.
- Often not recyclable.
- Wont last as long as other options.
Metal Thumbs Up
- Theyre not perfect, but theyve got some redeeming qualities. While they take a lot of energy to manufacture, they last up to twice as long as wood or asphalt.
- Also, they often come in recycled materials.
- Their temperatures are cool and their looks versatile.
Wood Shingles Thumbs Sideways
- Its difficult to argue with the time-valued and traditional, especially when wood is now available in FSC certified shingles.
- Theyre twice as insulative as asphalt.
- Theyre prone to cracks, moisture damage, and decay.
Clay Thumbs Up
- In addition to looking good, clays a great insulator and lasts over 50 years.
- They come in light colors that deflect up to 50% of the suns solar energy.
Slate Thumbs Up
- It takes a lot of energy to extract and quarry this non-renewable resource, but recycled options are available.
- Once installed, slate will last a long time and will remain durable during its lifespan.
- When its served its time, slate can be recycled.
Remember, in addition to the above choices, there are also new recycled roofing materials available, as well as a myriad of other choices. Talk to a certified roofing contractor today to get started!

Aaron Celia, 17, of Roselle, hit a grand slam and wasn't even on the ball field.
Instead, Aaron arranged for 40-50 wounded warriors to go scuba diving at Northeastern Illinois University pool on Sat., July 26. The event was Aaron's Boy Scout Eagle project.
"I decided to do this Eagle Project because I wanted to give back to the men and women who served our country," said Aaron, an incoming senior at Lake Park High School in Roselle.
An avid scuba diver, Aaron connected with Dan and Cindy Howard, owners of DJ's Scuba Locker in Brookfield. From there, Aaron contacted the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, the Chicago-based Wounded Heroes Foundation, and Northeastern Illinois University.
The Wounded Heroes Fund flew 40 veterans into Chicago to participate in this unique event.
"On the day of the event, I coordinated 20 volunteers who helped the veterans with their scuba equipment as they entered and exited the pool," said Aaron. "When the veterans were in the water, certified scuba divers were there to provide assistance."
Dan Howard of DJ's Scuba Locker was happy to participate in the day-long project. "It was an emotional day for both the veterans and the volunteers," said Howard. "There were smiles on the faces of the veterans and volunteers. I would say Aaron hit a home run with his Eagle project."
Aaron will submit a written report of his Eagle Scout project to the Boy Scouts of America Three Fires Council in St. Charles. Aaron hopes to join the five percent of the nation's 2.6 million Boy Scouts who achieve the rank of Eagle. Both astronaut Neil Armstrong and former US President Gerald Ford were Eagle Scouts.

From Someone Who Actually Knows What They're Talking AboutI have been straightening my hair for about 13 years now. Im Portuguese, and have incredibly coarse, curly, frizzy hair. My sister is a hairdresser... We have tried them all and this is what we both use. This is an amazing straightening iron. There is one downfall to this item and you can see that in all these reviews... it eventually stops working... whod of thought that an electrical device, that heats up to 200 degrees celcius, that you use 3-7 days a week for 30-60 mins a day might actually eventually stop working??? Lets not fool ourselves.. these arent magic. Of course theyll stop working eventually. Now, if it stops working in a few months... its defective. Someone complained that after 2 yrs hers went out and the customer service reps at Hai werent nice... Are you kidding???? A lot of items have warranties, but people are just ridiculous! Ive owned about 5 of these in the last 8 yrs... not bad. You can pay up to 150 in department stores. I get mine when a local store has them on sale,... or on other websites. I usually pay between 60-90... 60-90 dollars to have my beastly hair straight for about 300 days a year isnt too bad... people need to stop being so cheap and give the item the credit its deserved. The convertable has what I like to call, shocks... the plates feel like theyre on springs... so its not two pieces of metal ripping out your hair when you squeeze the iron through...Hai also makes a Stik and a Hai 2, but they have solid plates, or did when I used them. This one is much easier on the hair. all in all, its amazing. dont be fooled that 15 people out of millions in the world got the defective ones and decided to complain about it.Mar 2, 2008Renee / CHINO CA

Hai Flat IronI just love the flat iron, it only takes me about 15 minutes now to do my hair when it used to take me about 45 minutes using a store brand straightner. My hair feel soft and silky and not damaged. I have very coarse and curly hair and this flat iron smoothes it all out.

It not only heats up really fast but puts a shine on my hair that other brands didnt do as well, I can get my hair really straight without much effort too. That really helps as I have a very busy life.......Wouldnt be without it. The cost of the iron is alot less to than other brands offering a similar product.

Best Straightener EverEvery person on here that says it chips or breaks after a month or 4 or 5 must have bought their item elsewhere than folica because this is the best straightener I have ever used on myself and my clients. I 1st bought this flat iron in August of 2005 after I borrowed a friends and fell in love with it. The wiring works great, it hasnt chipped once, and it still has the same heat as the 1st time i used it. The only problem Ive had is when I took it to europe and it blew out on me because in europe you use converters and flat irons require too much electricity out there. I thought my flat iron broke but when I brought it home and plugged it in it worked fine. I am now a licensed cosmetologist and own my own salon. I sell the product in my salon and use it on all clients that want a straightening, curling, flipping, or updo service. Its the best product I have ever used to flat iron my own hair and others and I will never think twice about wanting to try a different product. HAI has me sold and i *HAI*ly recommend it!Feb 27, 2008Gina / Los Angeles, CA

Sleek And Glam ToolI love love love this iron! it heats up quickly, the temp settings will cover all hair types, its comfortable to use, and it is very well constructed. the ceramic plates glide over my hair, not snagging or puliing at all. for only $89 you get an iron that works as well as a $200 model -- really.Feb 26, 2008Myra S / San Franpsycho

There's Better...I used to use this flat iron a couple years ago. I went through about 3 or 4 before I finally started using the Chi. In my opinion, the Chi iron is supeior to this one, and lasts longer. And to the woman who was going to use this in Europe: DONT! I used it, WITH a converter, and still burnt the hell out of my hair, ending up with a side about 2 inches shorter than the other. Invest in a converter specially made to convert high amounts of volts/power. Wish I did.Feb 26, 2008Abigail / California

Les fresques d'Akrotiri sont avant tout un témoignage du medecine traditionnel, liées aux coutumes d'initiation.

[Aspirin throughout the ages: a historical revewLevesque H Lafont O.
Département de médecine interne, centre hospitalier universitaire Rouen-Boisguillaume, France. Even at the beginning of the next millennium, aspirin will still offer surprises. Its relatively young pharmacological history compares with the early use of salicylate-containing plants since antiquity. The Assyrians and the Egyptians were aware of the analgesic effects of a decoction of myrtle or willow leaves for joint pains. Hippocrates recommended chewing willow leaves for analgesia in childbirth and the Reverend Edward Stones is acknowledged as the first person to scientifically define the beneficial antipyretic effects of willow bark. At the beginning of the 19th century salicin was extracted from willow bark and purified. Although a French chemist, Charles Gerhardt, was the first to synthesize aspirin in a crude form, the compound was ignored, and later studied by Felix Hoffmann. He reportedly tested the rediscovered agent on himself and on his father, who suffered from chronic arthritis--a legend was born and Bayer Laboratories rose to the heights of the pharmacological world. First used for its potent analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties, aspirin were successfully used as an antithrombotic agent. Sir John Vane elucidated aspirin's active mechanism as an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase and received the Nobel Price in Medicine for this work in 1982. Two isoform of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) have now been identified, each possessing similar activities, but differing in characteristic tissue expression. The cox enzyme is now a target of drug interventions against the inflammatory process.

Ferrence SC, Bendersky G.
Department of Art History, Temple University, Philadelphia, USA. firstname.lastname@example.com This paper presents a new interpretation of a unique Bronze Age (c. 3000-1100 BCE) Aegean wall painting in the building of Xeste 3 at Akrotiri,Thera. Crocus carturightianus and its active principle, saffron, are the primary subjects at Xeste 3. Several lines of evidence suggest that the meaning of these frescoes concerns saffron and healing: (1) the unusual degree of visual attention given to the crocus, including the variety of methods for display of the stigmas; (2) the painted depiction of the line of saffron production from plucking blooms to the collection of stigmas; and (3) the sheer number (ninety) of medical indications for which saffron has been used from the Bronze Age to the present.The Xeste 3 frescoes appear to portray a divinity of healing associated with her phytotherapy, saffron. Cultural and commercial interconnections between the Therans, the Aegean world, and their neighboring civilizations in the early 2nd millennium BCE indicate a close network of thematic exchange, but there is no evidence that Akrotiri borrowed any of these medicinal (or iconographic) representations. The complex production line, the monumental illustration of a goddess of medicine with her saffron attribute, and this earliest botanically accurate image of an herbal medication are all Theran innovations.Publication Types:

By Mawuse Ziegbe
I'm gonna miss Michelle. And David. And Jon. And Nicole. And even Marianne, although we've only recently become acquainted. On November 4th we'll have a new president but I'll no longer get eloquent emails addressed to me from the good folks at the Obama campaign. Yes, most of the emails were like, "Mawuse– With your contribution of $25 dollars we can make it rain on this here election." But still, I felt special. And what am I going to do with no more rallies to attend? I have to entertain myself now that we're done with the Young Professionals, DJs, Promoters, Housewives and Seal Pups for Obama events. For instance, I went to a Yogis for Obama rally. And I hate yoga. I listened to Russell Simmons speak about how we can make change in this election while patiently sipping "liberation tea."
If Barack and Michelle were really my homies, I would hip them to some other quietly superhuman talents: Menahan Street Band. MSB is a project featuring members from all the New York instrumental bands that have mattered in recent years: The Dap-Kings, Budos Band, Antibalas and El Michels Affair. Their languid "Make The Road By Walking" is the basis for Jay-Z's "Roc Boys" and their album of the same name is just made so well. Think full, smoky soul that wags between plucky dub and crackly, wheezy country.
And something tells me that if Mimi and Barry weren't busy saving the world, they'd be into the Delicious Rmmxology compilation. The premise is simple: A few DJs slice up classic Delicious Vinyl jams. I could see Barack grooving to Hot Chip's gravelly re-working of The Pharcyde's "Passin' Me By." Michelle would be easily enamored with the Philippians' delicate synthy remix of Pharcyde's "Runnin.'" And I'm convinced no one can resist the epic, hyper thump of Masta Ace's "Sittin' On Chrome" as re-imagined by Mr. Flash.
Like the Obamas, UK-based outfit, Friendly Fires is just what this country needs. They make flashy yet airy disco rock replete with tangy cowbells and turbo drumming. All while wearing these darling little pantsuits. Their cover of Lykke Li's "I'm Good I'm Gone" makes great use of power piano chords once left to rot on old CeCe Peniston records. "Paris," with its dreamy lyrics and mammoth chorus could easily be the soundtrack to an historic inauguration.
Even if he gets too busy to keep in touch, I'm glad I got to know one of the biggest hope dealers in American history. And on November 5th, while I'm listening to MSB's "Esma" and planning what to do with all my free time, I just hope I get a very simple email: "Mawuse — We did it."

So I filed for medical.

Nancy reported yesterday that Sushi Axiom in Cedar Springs is closing doors. The owners of Sushi Axiom and their business partner, Monica Greene, have decided to open a new (unnamed) Mexican concept restaurant in its stead. Sushi Axiom will move over to Addison and open in the space where Cyclone Anaya's once occupied that area off Belt Line and Montfort. It's slated to open in late summer 2012.

I read she is not now going to open Tajin, but some other concept and name. This, along with the Bailey's/Chesterfield/Nosh fiasco has made for an interesting restaurant week – and it's only Monday!

Is this in addition to restaurant she was already working on next door to Sushi Axiom? This sounds fishy to us, pardon the sushi pun.
This just in: the restaurant will be a hip new sports bar called Hot Farts: "Where the only thing hotter than our wings… are your farts."

(CEM)Collaborative Evaluation with Mediation
For custody and parenting plan disputes
Please check below to see the list of practitioners we have trained
Oregon Family Institute has implemented an innovative child custody and parenting time evaluation process to serve the unmet needs of parents with lower to middle incomes who do not have services available to them.
Evaluations will include interviews with home visits with each parent, interviews with minor children and contact with appropriate collaterals.
Oregon Laws ORS 107.137 establishes the standards to be considered when determining child custody:
- The emotional ties between the child and other family members
- The interest of the parties and their attitude towards the child
- The desirability of continuing an existing relationship
- The abuse of one parent by the other
- The parents' willingness to share
After the report is completed and reviewed by the parents and attorneys, the evaluator then presents their findings and recommendations at a settlement conference with the parents, their attorneys, and an OFI mediator. If the case does not settle, the evaluator will testify. Of the over sixty evaluations initiated, only a few have gone to trial requiring the evaluator to testify.
Evaluators trained in the OFI-sponsored collaborative evaluation model must meet the requirements of the Association of Family Conciliation Courts, have a minimum of a masters degree in behavioral science and have participated in training by OFI. Please see the website section called Training for more information.
OFI's child-focused, collaborative evaluations are designed to be objective, impartial, and thorough assessments of the parenting abilities of each of the parties, and result in a detailed parenting plan based on Oregon-specific requirements. The goal is to provide to the parents and the court reliable information for determining a parenting plan in the best interest of the child.
Both parents and their attorneys must agree to use the collaborative parenting plan evaluation and mediation process. The parties or the attorneys may then contact OFI for a referral to a private practitioner in their geographic area who is doing the OFI-sponsored Collaborative Parenting Plan Evaluation and Mediation process. Some jurisdictions have already specified panels of evaluators trained in our model that they will refer to. The attorneys must then contract directly with the selected practitioner.

Stryke Bend Aerobars
By Castle

Only rode once with these before I was forced to take a few weeks rest, but they seem to be sturdy and comfortable. They are a little slick without tape.
Great set of aero are for the money
By Hunterlab17

They are light weight and makes riding more comfortable. They were also easy to assemble. They are a great buy for the money.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I am 6'1" and 270 lbs with broad shoulders...my previous set of profile aero bars mad me feel like I ws scrunching in around the handlebars...They can be set at a wider stance and for longer reaches. So you don't feel like a contortionist trying to ride your bike.
Good product
By Harry
from San Diego
Good design, and fairly light at good price point. Perhaps lacks the comfort of carbon fiber aerobars, but is also lighter then many carbon bars.

The Aerobars I received are not bent to the exact symmetry.
By Hutch
from West Harrison, IN
I received the bars as a gift and do not have any of the original packaging. The bars are functional, but disappointed in the poor symmetry of the bends. Would have sent back if I had the packaging to do so.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
So far, so good
By Iron Shaun
from Minneapolis
I've installed clip on aerobars two times before, but I couldn't figure these out. I had the bike shop put them on.

Solid bars, great deal
By Echo
from Central KY
My first aero bars, clip-on to standard drop-bars of my road bike for sprint triathlons. Low-profile arm rests allow a lowwer aero position while maintaining a 'standard' road bar set-up. There is NOT, however, room for your hands on the top of the bars underneath the arm rests, so expect to change your hand position for climbing. (Otherwise would rate a solid 5) Arm rests have different slots to adjust position, but not 'infinitely' adjustable as some others - but mine are immediately comfortable straight out of the box. Love the Stryke bend-comfortable on wrists, you can hang on tight when hammering hard or over bumps in the road. Only design limitation is no length adjustment, but you can adjust your position an inch or two and still get a good grip. I'm 6'0", glad I got the long bars, but could have made mediums work. Solid attachment to my old-school narrow diameter bars with provided plastic shims. Great deal, very happy with them.

Why don't I love my step child
Ever since I gave birth to my first child, a boy, three months ago, I cannot stand my 10 year old step son. I can't stand to see him, hear him, even his smell repulses me. I feel a total rage whenever he is around and it is very hard to contain. I do not understand why this is happening. I had a great relationship with him before I got pregnant but during the pregnancy, things changed. Once my son was born, it got worse. I almost look for ways to get my step son in trouble. The really sad thing is, most of the time, I don't feel bad about it.
I do not know if this is normal or not. Sometimes I just wish he would go live with his mother full time.
Do not resent the children. It is not thier fault. I would treat each chile equally. They are both human beings. I would bet therapy.
Maybe its because some women have that feeling of having to take care of another woman's child. Taking care of someone else responsibility or something. I can't say if that is natural or not. I do know men have an easier time dealing with a step child because they feel no obligation when it comes to taking care of the kid. With a woman...maybe it is reversed.
Thank you for your support. It is good to know I am not alone in my feeling. "Resent" is a good way of putting it.
Have you spoken with your husband about your feelings? I am terrified to do so. I think it may jepordize our relationship.
i can really relate to you, i dont have any answers or not wether it's healthy to feel that way but you are not alone in feeling that way. i have two step children a boy and a girl. when i started dating their father, my two kids were visiting thier dads for the summer. So i got a chance to be with his kids one on one at first it was ok. But when my kids came back i started resenting his kids. alot of it was because their mom walked away and they had alot of issues to deal with and my kids were not as needy. his daughter could barely talk the baby forget it and they both were not potty trained. I started really taking alot of my frustrations out on them. I felt like i was being punished for something because i was having to pick up all the pieces and make things better.Which onyl turned into more hatred towards them.

Texas Tech Comes Up Short On Day Two
Feb. 21, 2009
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Texas Tech softball came up short against New Mexico, 4-6, and the Wisconsin Badgers, 1-2, on the second day of the Lobo Invitational. Alex Watkins and Stephanie Drewry each went 4-7 on the day, while Elizabeth Eimen went 4-6 with two RBI. The Red Raiders will conclude play in Albuquerque tomorrow against host New Mexico at 1:00 p.m.
New Mexico got on the board first scoring three runs in the second inning courtesy of a Lobo double and a home run. Texas Tech rallied in the third when Leah Legler and Drewry singled to get on base, and were brought home on singles by Megan Shupp and Alex Watkins. Shupp then scored on a single by Eimen knotting the score at three.
New Mexico added a run in the fifth and two in the sixth upping the score to, 6-3. Tech added a run in the seventh when Watkins doubled and scored on an Eimen double but the rally fell short with the final, 6-4. Legler had two hits and a run scored, while Drewry had four hits. Watkins and Gentsch added two hits each, and Eimen had three hits and two RBI. Watkins, who came on in relief of Ashly Jacobs, was charged with the loss, her first decision of the season.
In game two, Tech's first night game of the season, the Wisconsin Badgers took the lead on a two run home run in the second. Tech got a run back in the bottom of the inning when Watkins singled, scoring Drewry who had reached on an error. The bats remained quiet for the rest of the game and the Badgers escaped with the 2-1 win. Watkins had two hits and an RBI, including a booming double off the wall in center field to open the seventh frame, but the Red Raiders could not capitalize. Legler and Eimen contributed a hit a piece in the contest. Tye Coats (1-2) went the distance and suffered the loss in an otherwise solid performance.
Texas Tech will return to action tomorrow as it faces host New Mexico at 1:00 p.m. Fans can follow the action live at www.texastech.com.

Bass Club Fishes Falcon Lake
With the fishing year dwindling down for the Atascosa Bass Club it was Craig White, a four-time club champion and twice angler-of-the-year, who was holding on to leads in both categories as the club fished its November tournaments.
The club fished Falcon Lake on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 11-12, and the winners were Keith Sutherland on Saturday and Patricia White on Sunday.
Although Craig White is in position to win the club's two main championships this year, he took his lumps on Sunday when his wife Patricia, a former member of the Women's Bassmaster Tour, out-fished him in his own boat. Patricia is only one of three female members of the club who fish regularly.
White said his wife beat him fair and square on Sunday when she landed bigger fish, including a pair of seven-pounders, to win the tournament.
But it was Sutherland on Sunday who found big fish on the Mexico side of the lake although he was unable to catch his limit of five fish and weighed only four. They were good ones. The stringer weighed 21.85 and it was anchored by a 7.05 largemouth.
Coming in second was Dub Billings, a veteran angler who has been fishing with the club since its inception and holds five club championships. Billings' five-fish stringer weighed 20.65 and one of his fish weighed 8.61, which turned out to be the big bass of the day. The club's tournament director, White, came in third with five fish weighing 19.91 and in fourth place was Roger Dove with four fish weighing 19.58. Fifth place went to Shane Pfullman with 19.57 and rounding out the top six was Terry Vrana with 16.84 pounds.
Both Pfullman and Vrana weighed five fish each.
On Sunday Patricia White used her flipping stick to weigh five solid fish including a sevenpounder that both she and her husband hooked at the same time. "I know it's hard to believe but we threw our lures into a large bush and we both felt a tug at the bottom. When we set the hooks we thought were hung up until we finally got the fish up and it had both lures in his mouth," said Craig White. The seven pounder was one of two fish over seven pounds for Patricia and her stringer weighed out to 26.87.
Despite catching a 9.25 bass on Sunday, and another one over eight pounds (8.53), Dove was unable to over-take White and placed second with 25.04. Craig White placed third on Sunday with five fish weighing 21.67 and Sutherland was the fourth-place finisher with 19.95. Terry Vrana placed fifth with 14.26 and Shane Pfullman took sixth place with 14.06 pounds.
With two more tournaments left for the year, Craig White had slight leads in both the points category (club champion) and angler-of-the-year.
The club will fish its final two tournaments at Falcon Lake on Dec. 17.18.

Why don't I see any effect when I change the "Resting Resolution" slider settings in the Molecular Representation panel or in the Preferences panel under Molecular Representation → Atom and bond quality?
The Resting resolution slider settings only affect the quality of the rendering of atoms and bonds when you are using OpenGL 1.2. A different mechanism is used with OpenGL 2.1 to draw atoms and bonds that does not need a resolution setting. The "Use simplified representation when moving" setting does change the rendering of ball-and-stick and tube representations when doing transformations, with both OpenGL levels.

Kinaxo Biotechnologies signed an agreement with Bayer Vital to discover biomarkers that can be used to distinguish which acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients would be better suited to Nexavar® treatment in clinical investigations. Kinaxo will apply its quantitative phosphoproteomics platform, PhosphoScout®.The technology will be used to determine the effects of Nexavar, a multikinase inhibitor, on cellular phosphorylation patterns and to identify novel predictive markers. It will also be used to investigate combination therapies including Nexavar in the hope of identifying individualized therapeutic strategies against malignant diseases such as AML. Kinaxo claims its PhosphoScout™ quantitative phospho-proteomics service allows the annotation and quantification of regulated phosphorylation sites in living cells, animal models, and patient samples. The technology uses quantitative mass spectrometry to analyze proteome-wide in vivo phosphorylation patterns as a means to investigate cellular signal transduction pathways and their responses to drug treatment.
Nexavar is approved in over 70 countries for treating liver cancer and advanced kidney cancers. The drug is also being evaluated by partners Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals and Onyx Pharmaceuticals as a single agent and as combination therapy in a wide range of other malignancies.

The Green Leaf
You can tell a lot about a grape vine from its leaves. Among other things, according to the science of ampelography, you can often tell what grape variety it is, especially if you get to see what a bunch of grapes looks like as well. Most species have a distinctly shaped leaf and cluster. The color of the leaf will also tell you things about the nutritional state of the grapevine, with dark green indicating well hydrated, well nitrated vines, and lighter green indicating less nutrients (which is actually sometimes the desired state). I, unfortunately, don't know the magic of reading grape leaves, so I'll leave it to others to identify this one. -- Alder Yarrow

Over the weekend at their training facility, their bodies were put to the test through different physical trainings.
LAREDO, TX (KGNS) -"Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to be a firefighter, since I can remember. I enjoy making a difference in people's lives."
A dream is what brought these men and women to the fire-training center. They all want to be firefighters, but first, they had to pass a written test to get to the agility portion of the test.
"Quite the challenge. The wall, I'm pretty tall for the wall, so that was kind of easy. It's real heavy of your legs, it's a great endurance test."
Francisco Lopez is one of the few applicants to pass the agility test. Out of the 170 people who made it to the agility test about 96 passed. They put our reporter, Valerie Bragg, to the test too. (See video) The agility test is six different stations.
The challenges are designed to test the skills and strength needed to perform tasks every firefighter must perform on the job. Those that didn't pass the agility test will get another chance. Joshua De Leon graduated from the academy about a year ago. He has some words of advice for those retaking the test.
"Don't give up, don't let your mind beat you. Stay focused, stay strong, don't let your mind beat you. Don't quit."

UWellness – Be Healthy
An annual screening mammogram is one of the best methods available to detect breast cancer in its early stages when it's easier to treat successfully. The American Cancer Society recommends women age 40 and older should have a screening mammogram every year and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health.
Coverage for UW Faculty, Staff, Librarians
Did you know that mammograms are covered under your Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) medical benefits?
- For women age 40 and older, annual mammogram screening is covered at 100%. In addition, the annual deductible does not apply.
- For women under age 40, the coinsurance and the annual deductible apply if your network provider refers you for a mammogram. However, you pay all related costs if you self-refer for a mammogram.
View the Certificate of Coverage for your health plan. Click the search tab within the document to find "mammogram." Read what's covered under your plan. You may need to visit a network provider within an allowed time period in order to receive full coverage.
Campus MammoVan—Mobile Mammography Service
The University of Washington has partnered with Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) to bring the "MammoVan," a mobile mammography service to campus. This service is available to Uniform Medical Plan (UMP) enrollees only, with claims to be paid by Regence.*
The MammoVan is scheduled to visit convenient campus locations on a regular basis, making it easier than ever for you to get your mammogram during your work day!
The average appointment time is about 15 minutes. First appointment starts at 8:30 a.m. Last appointment starts at 3:30 p.m.
Call SCCA at 206-288-7800 to schedule an appointment.

- What happens after my appointment?
- After your appointment, Regence will be billed directly. The results of your exam will be mailed to you and your physician within 7-10 business days.
- How should I prepare for a mammogram?
- The National Women's Health Information Center offers these guidelines for what to do before a mammogram:
- When scheduling the appointment, plan to go about one week after your period. Your breasts will be less sore at this time.
- If you have breast implants, make sure you tell the facility about them when you schedule your appointment.
- The day of your mammogram, wear a separate shirt and skirt, shorts, or pants, not a dress. It will be easier to just remove your top during the mammogram.
- To avoid shadows on your result, don't use any lotions, powders, deodorant, or perfumes on the day of your mammogram.
