Overall Experience
Reasonably priced downtown stay
June 11, 2016
Clean, well supplied unit (fridge, stove); good quality beds though the furnishings are showing their age and the air conditioner was a bit noisy . Nice to see the hotel was in the process of having a face lift as the hallways were being painted. Great gym, big laundry room though we did not use, great parking with in and out privileges. Restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk. McGill University about a 25 minute walk. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Why cook with alcohol? It gives food a distinct flavor and it's fun to cook with. Drinking beer and cooking chili while a football game is on. Sipping wine and stirring a pot of red sauce with Sinatra on the CD player. Doing shooters with your wife or girlfriend while marinating some breasts. This is the rich and festive atmosphere of alcohol in the kitchen.
Alcohol causes food to react differently. Beer contains yeast which can leaven you favorite bread or batter recipe. Wine used in marinades can help break down tough fibers in meats. Rum or vodka flame desserts, giving the crowd that "oooh" and "aaah" effect. (Always keep a fire extinguisher handy in the kitchen), and please cook with alcohol responsibly.
But drinking alcohol and cooking can lead to culinary disaster. To illustrate this point Ursula and I enlisted the help of Sgt. Sledge Fife from the Wewahitchka police Department. Sgt. Fife agreed to bring along his trusty homemade breathalyzer box to help us understand the effects of drinking alcohol and cooking. As we drank, I cooked up a sumptuous meal and Sgt. Fife tested my blood alcohol level periodically. Remember that a .08% alcohol level in most states is legally drunk. It is also the level that the fat girl with the pimples starts to look pretty good.
So let's get started. Our featured menu has a main dish and two sides, all involving alcohol. First up, grab a 6-pack of Bud Lite Lime, drink one, and let's get it on.
Beer-Battered Onion Rings
4 Medium Sized Vidalia onions, Peeled and Sliced ½ inch Thick
¾ Cup Bud Light Lime
¾ Cup Zatarain's Crispy Breading Mix
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
Salt, Freshly Ground Black Pepper
In a large bowl, combine beer, mix and other ingredients, whisking until lumps are gone and the batter has a pancake consistency. Dip individual onion rings into batter, pouring off excess and deep fry at 350 degrees in batches of five or six, depending on the size. Do not overcrowd the oil with rings. Place golden brown onion rings on a paper towel to blot oil. Open another bottle of Bud Lite Lime, pound it down, and we're ready for the next dish.
Blood-Alcohol level- .06%
Easy? Have another beer and let's continue.
Firth, uncork a bollte of good Chardonnay wine. Taketh a fewth sips of the wine to see if it's good. Ah, ith good.
White-Wine Carrots
1 ¼ Cup White Wine
¾ Cup Chicken Broth
1 Tbs. Butter
1 Lb. Baby Carrots
Bring nthe wine, broth and butter to a boil in a large saucepan, and reduce at a boil for about ten minutes. Pour a glass of wine for yourself, reduce the heat and add carrots. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until carrots are tender. You can have another glass of wine while you are waiting.
Brood-Alkyhol level- .12%
Ursula es now passet out on the salad spinner. Lightweight. Hour mane course is the famous Bourbon-Chicken da dish dat is made wit bourbon and chixen. It only calls for a ¼ Cup of bourbon, so dere iz plenty left over for you to sip. Buy a half-gallon of da bourbon and you can hat mor ee.
1 Cut-up Fryer Chicken
½ Cup Brown Sugar
2 Garlic Cloves, Peeled and Smashed
¼ Cup Bourbon
2 Tbs. Sesame Oyl
Brown the chicken in a little olyve oyl in a Dutch oven. Add the rest of the ingredients, scrapping any chicken bits from the bottom of the pot.. Simmer, covered for about 30-45 minutes.
Bood-Achol leven-Only .18%!
Whut a fab me al~! I'm barery drunk~! But I no hungary…Da chixen tastes better the nezt day anyhew. I luuuuuv u guys…

Recently I had a long conversation across my dining room table with an old friend. My friend fulfilled his promise to his dying mother that he would take care of his dad until the end. His father passed away two years ago He said to me, "I could not really begin to heal until my father died, because he kept ripping off the scab." My friend's father was selfish, manipulative, immature, and demanded an instant response to his wants. He was a crazy maker of the first degree. The abuse was moment to moment and went on for years and years. My friend did not experience peace until his father left the planet.
Someone else I know is one of five siblings who grew up in unspeakable evil at the hands of a mentally ill mother. That mother is now sick and elderly. The state has stepped in and asked the children to help with her needs. None of them will get near her. They have had enough. Their mother will die alone in her home with a caregiver helping intermittently.
Despite horrendous abuse some, like my friend, are able to bite the bullet and be a caregiver to an elderly, abusive parent. Others simply do not have the adaptive energy or coping skills for another round of the viper's nest. Once they grew up they escaped the nightmare and can't force themselves to go back. This is not intentional cruelty on the part of the adult child. It is self-preservation.
Years ago I read, "Old age and sickness is not known to mellow miserable, unhappy people." "Normies" who grew up in warm, loving, safe environments and now carry magical, starlit memories of childhood are shocked and appalled that a child would be relieved that a parent is now dead or will turn their backs on one who is elderly and alone. They did not grow up in hell; a hell that happened when we were young, vulnerable, and dependent. Grief can be mixed with guilt over not being able to do or feel how a "good" child would act in a similar situation. Counseling can help unravel the tangled emotions. Here is a Web site of grief counselors in the Dayton area: http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/prof_results.php?city=Dayton&s...

"The Purge" was a surprisingly successful horror movie last summer. Despite only a critical rating of 38% over at RottenTomatoes.com, the story of a middle class family defending their home against sinister marauders pulled in a whopping $34 million its opening June weekend. And these days in Hollywood, that means instant franchise. Thus, a sequel was rushed into production and this sequel entitled "The Purge: Anarchy" is it.
This new movie both improves upon and falls short of its predecessor. It is well made and well acted, and it wisely opens up the story to show what goes on amidst the chaos in a big city. But this one stridently preaches against the very violence the film exalts in. It has endless shots of bodies being crushed, beaten, sliced and blown apart by bullets. And yet, the script constantly preaches against the very premise that drives this B horror movie. How can we have fun when we're being guilted into even watching the darn thing?
"The Purge: Anarchy" almost demands to be a black comedy with its futuristic portrayal of an America where violence has been outlawed except for one 12-hour 'Purge' during which the population is encouraged to go out and release their inner killer. It's an absurd premise that could even make for a great satire, but this film seems determined to be as earnest as "The Fault in Our Stars". There's not much fun in trashy horror striving to be that sober.
And in wanting to eat their cake (a bloody horror film) and have it too (critiquing bloodlust), the filmmakers expose their flimsy premise to dozens of questions that make the whole shebang seem even thinner. For example, what does all this death and destruction cost our economy? What does the rest of the world think of the USA's self-indulgent temper tantrum? And does insurance cover all this mayhem, and if so, does J. K. Simmons tell us Farmer's can help us learn to wield a machete?
This could be absurdist fun in the hands of someone like Robert Rodriguez or John Carpenter. Those filmmakers know how to create pulp with their tongues planted firmly in cheek. But writer/director James DeMonaco seems hell-bent on playing all of this completely straight. The result is a depressing slog with little wit or real imagination in tone or execution. Pun intended.
Instead, DeMonaco spends an awful lot of screen time having his characters bitch about the Purge with overly serious dialogue about how it's destroying American society and was set up to eradicate the poorer classes. At times, such pontificating borders on turning into the debate scenes from the 2012 movie "Lincoln" (http://bit.ly/1n5G8HL), and that's not what horror movie fans are looking for. Heck, one can find more humor in an average newsstand copy of The Nation than in the pretentious rabble here.
What horror fans want are some clever thrills and chills. But this film fails to create genuine suspense, and makes too much of the killing utterly tedious. In fact, most of this movie remains predictable, right up until the very end. Its last 10 minutes hold some nice twists, but before then "The Purge: Anarchy" trots out a lot of horror clichés. Innocent victims escape death but don't retrieve any weapons scattered on the ground that they would need to defend them further. Certain villains appear to be offed, but of course they aren't, so they can return like an unvanquished Jason Voorhees. And just as certain characters solve their personal problems, one of them will bite the dust to serve up the genre's tried and true versions of irony. It's all stuff we've seen too many times before.
Even the three disparate stories that drive the film are brought together in a way that's too heavy on coincidence and not particularly clever. The five main characters all run into one another at the exact same time, from the entire breadth of the urban sprawl, and escape in the lead's car. It saves a lot of screen time, true, but it's another part of the movie that disappoints for not being more imaginative.
Still, the actors in that crew perform their roles admirably. The terrific Frank Grillo (http://imdb.to/UiRqxg) plays a character that decides to take advantage of the yearly Purge and avenge his son's death during the last one. But soon enough, he's acting the hero as he saves those innocents who end up in his ride. They're a divorcing couple (Zach Gilford and Kiele Sanchez) on the run from a gang who sabotaged their car; and a mother/ daughter duo (Carmen Ejogo and Zoe Soul), forced out of their home by jack-booted thugs.
They're all worth rooting for as the film becomes an extended chase scene with the five staying inches ahead of their pursuing "Purgers". Eventually, the good guys fall into the hands of some 'one-percenters' that bid on the hapless they want to execute at an exclusive auction. This is the one place where some genuine black comedy seeps into the picture, but it's a bit too derivative of the sex slavery auction scene in "Taken".
In fact, this sequel borrows liberally from other films with similar escape themes like "Escape from New York" and "The Terminator" too. That's fine, steal from the best as they say, but this film isn't one iota as fun as any of those classics. If only Snake Plissken had shown up from Carpenter's 1981 thriller (http://imdb.to/UiRlcM). He could've taught them how to crack wise during such adventures.
There are some decent twists at the end, and the demise of some of the marauders make for some cheer worthy moments. But if you're going to lampoon the nation's love of violence, guns and vengeful cowboy thinking, shouldn't there be some more slyness to it all; a more stinging POV that is entertaining as well? This film desperately needs some witty bark to add to its bite.
If there is a sequel, and there surely will be, as this movie's poised to come in tops at the box office this weekend with close to a $30 million take, let's hope that the next one is called "The Purge: Aftermath". I want to see how the new "founding fathers of America" as they are called in this franchise, handle the fall-out after the Purge has ended. The pending months of clean up, lawsuits, and political fallout would make for one ripe political black comedy. And that would be more entertaining than the downer this franchise is.

Great addition to downtown Napa
(Posted by: TrevR on 04-18-2009 @ 9:40 AM)
We dined here for lunch a few days after the restaurant opened. The service was adequate (they were clearly still working things out in that department) and the food was very solid.
We had two different types of Thali dishes which were delicious and priced quite well for what you get. I'd definitely recommend Neela's to anyone looking for an Indian food fix in Napa! We'l be back.

Abstract: Most women with endometrial cancer survive the disease. The 5-year survival among patients diagnosed and treated at early stages is estimated to be 96%. A large number of studies have demonstrated a high prevalence of cardiovascular death among endometrial cancer survivors. It is possible that obesity and metabolic syndrome, risk factors for cardiovascular disease, may contribute to the high prevalence of cardiovascular death among endometrial cancer survivors. No prior studies have examined causes of death among women with endometrial cancer.
The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the leading causes of death among patients with invasive epithelial endometrial cancer. Data were obtained from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. Causes of death were stratified by grade and stage.
Of the 44,145 patients with endometrial cancer enrolled in SEER from 1973 to 1988, 33,232 (75.3%) with incident cases had died by 2008 at the time of last follow-up.
Overall, patients with endometrial cancer were most likely to die of cardiovascular disease (35.9%; 95% confidence interval, 35.3%–36.3%) followed by other causes of death, other malignancies, and endometrial cancer. Death due to cardiovascular disease was most likely among patients with low-grade localized cancer and least likely among those with high-grade advanced cancer. Moreover, death due to endometrial cancer was most likely to occur in women with high-grade advanced disease. Among the entire population of women, the risk of death is greatest from endometrial cancer in the first 5 years after diagnosis; risk of death from cardiovascular disease becomes greater in the next 5 years and thereafter.
These findings suggest that higher risk of cardiac death among endometrial cancer patients is a reflection of the likelihood of cure following treatment of low-grade disease and of the high prevalence of cardiac disease and risk factors among survivors. Lifestyle modifications and other interventions that reduce the risk of cardiovascular death are likely to improve overall survival in the women who do not die of endometrial cancer.

The most interesting man in the world is helping Vermont-based Orvis company raise money for Morris Animal Foundation to fight cancer in dogs.
Actor and dog lover Jonathon Goldsmith is a Manchester, Vermont resident made famous by his role in the Dos Equis beer commercials. But he's also a dog lover hoping to raise funds for the Denver-based Morris Animal Foundation, which promotes veterinary research for companion animals, horses and wildlife.
Goldsmith made an online commercial with his Anatolian shepherd Willy as part of a fund raising campaign by the Manchester-based Orvis Co., which has a popular dog catalog. Goldsmith lost a dog to cancer and was happy to support this campaign.
The Morris Animal Foundation hopes to raise $250,000.00 this year, and has raised almost $1 million since the campaign started back in 2009. The program asks dog owners to enter photos of their dogs into the Orvis Cover Dog Contest for Morris Animal Foundation. They will raise money by getting fans to donate $1 for each vote. The Million Dollar Dog Sweepstakes will end on 15 February 2014.

I'm sure that with a bit of detective work it would actually be possible (with the cooperation of the owners/sellers) to track these pages down! To what end I do not know, but it would be interesting! (Maybe put the whole flight plan back together in 2069!? I'll be 100 yrs old! I'm sure that future generations will be amazed that we actually divided it up in the first place!) I know that I have contributed to the fact that there is a market $$$/ŁŁŁ for these flight plans to be split and sold, but when you thing about it, it's like dividing up the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Independence and never being able to put them back together!

June 8, 2014 was opening day for the El Segundo Museum of Art (ESMoA) SCRATCH exhibit, featuring original art from contemporary Los Angeles (L.A.) street and tattoo artists. While graffiti as art has slowly found acceptance and appreciation by many in the zeitgeist, its inclusion in and on museum walls has been practically non-existent. Who knows? In 500 years students of art history may be studying the forward-thinking museums, like ESMoA, as one of the first museums willing to showcase graffiti art exhibits, like SCRATCH.
It took almost two years from idea to SCRATCH exhibit opening. It began with Ed Sweeney noticing that some street artists would carry black books used to record their art ideas. Sometimes the black books would also include tags by other graffiti artists. Ed queried Marcia Reed, chief curator at Getty Research Institute, for interest in creating something similar to the street artists' black books. The creation could be considered a curation of a snapshot in time of current L.A. street art.
David Brafman, Ph.D., rare books curator at the Getty Research Institute, was brought into the mix to bring the project to life. He being the same David who stood on the art covered floor of ESMoA to share the story of the events leading up to the SCRATCH exhibit and to voice appreciation for those who helped him bring the vision to life.
David saw similarities with the black books graffiti artists were creating with a 16h century manuscript from the vaults of the Getty Research Institute called a liber amicorum (book of friends).
David also shared the art covered floor of ESMoA with a couple of the SCRATCH exhibit contributing artists, who also spoke to the gathered group. One artist shared how grateful he was for the exhibit and the opportunity to contribute. He shared that he had grown up in less than ideal circumstances which included being a foster child who never knew his mother or father.
In response to that remark someone in the crowd yelled out,
"I'll adopt you."
As laughter died down, he continued on that the black book is like a dream come true for him. This artist will have his art in the Getty Museum (which will become the permanent home for the black book).
Graffiti artists are all too aware that the art they create on the street is by nature: temporary. The black book is a great way for them to more permanently capture and record their creations. The official Getty Black Book is a leather-bound book that includes 143 original drawings by contemporary L.A. street and tattoo artists.
In the ESMoA two floors tall by 20 ft. wide museum space the SCRATCH exhibit is a veritable feast for the eyes. In addition to street art on the museum walls and floor, the L.A. Liber Amicorum (a.k.a. the Getty Graffiti Black Book) is on display under glass with a mounted, adjacent iPad that allows you to digitally flip through the contents of the black book.
There were some online bloggers who to make it more succinct wrote that Renaissance artists would be rolling over in their graves knowing that with the creation of L.A. Liber Amicorum there is the implication that graffiti art and renaissance art are equal in stature. Perhaps. Perhaps not.
This examiner would like to believe that if Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello and Da Vinci would, if not overtly thrilled to be immortalized as martial-art-knowing turtles, secretly love street art. That perhaps these Master Artists would be curious (and possibly thrilled) to try their hands at some street art of their own. Who knows? If they had been alive during these times, perhaps they would embrace the way things are today and have their own agents, managers, PR professionals and be into sushi & tequila shots.
It was quite refreshing to see all of the art appreciators of all ages who showed up for the SCRATCH exhibit opening. Those that did show up were also invited to participate in none, some or all of the interactive experiences offered, such as:
- draw on the ESMoA sidewalk with chalk,
- create their mark on the wax wall,
- create works of art on the tables liberally laden with crayons, scissors, glue and other art supplies,
- snag a SCRATCH scavenger hunt booklet and discover a secret message hidden amongst the art,
- score a free exhibit poster, sticker, post cards; and
- for those lucky children who asked (while supplies lasted) a commemorative, empty, black sketch book ready to be filled with their own art creations was theirs.
According to the ESMoA website
"Graffito is old Italian slang for 'a little mark,' and graphein in Ancient Greek meant 'scratch, draw, paint' long before it meant 'to write.' Graffiti artists craft letterforms, draft perspective, and merge line, color, and form with the same techniques employed by Renaissance masters like Albrecht Durer."

In Fight Against Generics, Lipitor Limps Back
Pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts said yesterday it has put Lipitor back on its list of preferred drugs after the cholesterol-fighter spent more than a year in the cold.
The announcement marks a rapprochement between Pfizer and Express Scripts. But it may have been a costly truce for Pfizer. The drug maker agreed to give Express Scripts deeper rebates on Lipitor in exchange for being restored to preferred status, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
As the WSJ has pointed out, Pfizer's longtime strategy of developing drugs for common, chronic problems has left the company vulnerable to generic alternatives. Generics have broad appeal because they can dramatically lower drug costs for purchasers. And they carry hefty profit margins for pharmacies and drug benefits managers.
Express Scripts was particularly aggressive in steering patients to Zocor and then to generic simvastatin instead of Lipitor. After Express Scripts took Lipitor off its formulary at the beginning of 2006, the drug's market share plunged 22% among those covered by Express Scripts, compared with a 9% decline overall, according to a note issued today by Raymond James analyst Michael Baker. Pfizer's willingness to cut a deal shows the power big PBMs like Express Scripts now wield in the industry, Baker writes.

Miami Marlins closer Heath Bell says he's no meathead
The Marlins held on for the 7-6 win Friday night, so Ozzie Guillen made the right move in the short term by lifting Heath Bell with one out in the ninth inning and the tying run on second base for the Giants.
The long term? That's an open question as the Marlins manager and his new $27 million closer continue to grow accustomed to each other and how they prefer to do business.
Take the 2-1 breaking ball Bell threw to journeyman Joaquin Arias leading off the ninth.
Up 7-4, Guillen made it clear to the media he would have preferred to see Bell go right after a career backup player hitting in the No. 7 spot.
"I'm not going to second-guess him, so I don't think he should second-guess me," Bell said. "I threw a breaking ball, and it just happened to miss, a little bit inside. If I would have got the job done, he would have maybe called me a genius. …
"You know, the thing is, I've always thrown 2-1 [breaking balls]. I've always thrown complete opposite. I've always been a pitcher, never a thrower. If he doesn't believe in my pitching style and the way I pitch, I have to go out there and show him I can get the job done doing that. Apparently I haven't shown that yet."
Bell spoke last month, after blowing three of his first six save chances, of having to grow more familiar with pitching coach Randy St. Claire and vice versa. It seems the same process is playing out between the Marlins' closer and his manager.
"I feel like I'm going out there pitching," Bell said. "I'm trying to make my pitches. I have no fear of throwing any pitch at any given time in any count. I'm just not a meathead that rears back and throws the ball. I'm actually trying to pitch. I wasn't blessed throwing hard when I was younger."
Friday, Bell hit 94 mph several times on the radar gun. He said he was keeping his pitches down in the strike zone better than earlier this year.
He had Gregor Blanco down 0-2 but gave up an opposite-field double after Blanco spoiled three two-strike pitches.
That's when Bell looked up and saw Guillen walking toward the mound. At that point, Bell was expecting to have a conversation about how to proceed with Brandon Crawford coming up and first base open.
"Pretty much, that's what I thought," Bell said.
And when Guillen spread his arms and reached for the ball?
"I wasn't too happy," Bell said. "I felt like I was there. I fell behind a little bit but I felt like I could totally get out of that situation."
Friday marked Bell's 52nd career outing against the Giants, his most against any big-league team. He suggested that familiarity helped the Giants, even some of the younger hitters, prolong the inning.
"The older guys tell the young guys, because [Aubrey] Huff's been there awhile and [Pablo] Sandoval," Bell said. "[Bruce] Bochy and his coaching staff have seen me, so who knows?"
What is known is that Bell heard some boos after giving up an RBI single to Brandon Belt, then heard them even louder upon being yanked from the game in favor of young sidewinder Steve Cishek.
"Walking off the field, you definitely hear the boos," Bell said. "The thing is, they're passionate about the Marlins. I think they're just fine. They want me to go out and do well every single time. I kind of let the fans down. … If they're not booing, that means they're not in the game and they're not passionate about their team. I want them to be passionate about the Marlins."
And just as much, he wants to earn his new manager's faith.
"Bell is my closer," Guillen insisted. "He gets paid to close games, I get paid to win games or to give the players the best opportunity to win games. He'll be my closer tomorrow, but today he was a little bit off."

Reported September 2009
MATTAPOISETTA, Mass. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Good night, sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite. It appears that is easier said than done. The latest national statistics show a 71 percent increase in activity among the blood-sucking parasites, but now man's best friend is helping to sniff out the infestations.
Badger and Tracer look like you typical lovable beagles, but they're tops dogs when it comes to detecting bedbugs.
Camp owner Will Rubenstein knows first-hand the havoc bedbugs wreak.
"We started seeing kids and counselors come down with this mysterious rash," Will Rubenstein, the owner of Camp Wingate Kirkland in Yarmouth, Mass., recalled to Ivanhoe. "We didn't know what it was."
Despite four visits from the exterminator, sprayings and thorough cleanings, the blood-sucking critters continued to feast on campers.
"It's terribly disruptive, embarrassing and strange at the same time," Rubenstein said.
But then he heard about Tracer and Badger. Their 200 million scent sensors can detect what man cannot find. Dogs pick up scents through the accordion-like folded membranes just behind their noses.
"Their ears also have an influence on their scent detection," Mike Tache, of American K-9 Private Investigators, Inc. in Mattapoisett, Mass., said.
Tache, owner of the dogs, raises live bedbugs and eggs to train the twosome. To keep them on their toes he routinely changes where he hides the bedbug bait.
The dogs have a 95 percent success rate. Within seconds both sniffed out the bugs, just as they had back at the camp.
"We were literally pulling live bedbugs out of beds, and that is a scary thing," Rubenstein recalled.
Another scary thing is bedbugs contain antifreeze in their bodies, which allows them to adapt to very cold temperatures.
"They can go into dormancy without feeding for up to 18 months," Tache explained. "Pretty scary, huh?"
But now with a little help from man's best friend, you can be bite-free.
Tracer and badger bring in about $150 to $200 an hour. With the increase in bedbug infestations, more and more of pooches around the country are being trained to search for bedbugs.

Fancy a cozy night around the fireplace sipping wine or craft cocktails and dining on an array of tasty tidbits?
That's exactly what you're in store for at Dallas' Hibiscus restaurant, located in the trendy Knox-Henderson neighborhood.
Hibiscus isn't exactly a newcomer to Dallas' restaurant scene—it's been a favorite haunt for area foodies since 2005. But now with Graham Dodds manning the kitchen as executive chef, the cuisine is perhaps even better than it was before. And no wonder, Dodds helped turn Bolsa and Hotel Palomar's former restaurant, Central 214, into dining destinations known for serving some of the most inventive farm-to-table fare in the metroplex.
Dodds' new menu at Hibiscus is approachable, yet forward-thinking. He shows off his farm-to-table flair in a variety of delicious ways and serving portions aren't on the small side either. So sharing several dishes can provide for a truly tasty adventure. It's also a great way to explore the menu without spending a fortune. Prices range from $6-$11 for sides and $11-$16 for starters to $18-$57 for mains.
The best way to start off is with the appetizers. Actually, you can make a meal of just appetizers, which range from Bobwhite quail with grits and crispy pig ear slaw for $12— to a $14 chicken liver and foie gras pate served in a mason jar with tiny jelled cubes of fennel spiked orange marmalade on top and thick toasted slices of brioche served alongside.
However, the ultimate starter here is the crispy lamb ribs. Four meaty, succulent ribs that literally melt in your mouth— come slightly caramelized with a sweet brown sugar-sherry glaze and are served with a creamy smoked mustard sauce on the side. This dish alone makes a wonderful main course, and at $15—it's a steal. It would go nicely with the hand cut fries and fontina fondue, offered for $6 on the sides section of the menu.
There's a special charcuterie platter that's not listed on the menu, but certainly worth exploring. It comes with a selection of cheeses, pickled vegetables, fresh honey, fruit, marcona almonds and a variety of house cured meats— including smoked duck breast and Spanish chorizo.
The salads range from a plate of colorful toybox tomatoes with bacon, treviso, wild arugula and Veldhuizen Farms Bosque blue cheese to crispy, calabrian chili spiced okra with baby cucumbers and tomatoes.
There's a focus here on wood-grilled, grass fed meats. Wagyu steak and Colorado saddle of lamb are popular picks. But you're missing out on something special if you don't order the sea scallops. Plump tender scallops with a crisp exterior are nestled with corn pudding, saffron spiked squash and baby chanterelle mushrooms that have been conserved in a herbed vinegar-oil solution.
For now, Dodds is also wearing a pastry hat and makes several delicious desserts worth trying. Chocoholics will want to go for the decadent chocolate tart served alongside a sauce made using his mom's homemade mulberry preserves. Even better though, is a moist heirloom carrot cake using three different varieties of carrots. It comes slathered with cream cheese icing on top and rests in a sumptuous carrot-ginger coulis surrounded by candied marcona almonds and pecans. Both are priced at $9 and again, easily sharable.
All in all, Hibiscus is more than just an upscale dining experience. It's a place with an inviting atmosphere and a creatively inspired menu that doesn't have to break the bank.

I will be the first to admit that I am no fan of the German government in any of its incarnations, including the current one. But then, I'm a Serbian-American who has some Jewish relatives. Let's just say that I get tired of their constant efforts to obliterate us.
This time, though, they're spot on.
Ed Driscoll has the story at PJM:
In June of 2013: "Germany to Spymaster-in-Chief Obama: You are on some Eastern Bloc $#!+ right now," Jim Treacher quips:
Fearless Leader from Rocky and Bullwinkle
Dude? When Germany is telling you to knock it off? Maybe you should listen. I know you won't, but you should.
German outrage over a U.S. Internet spying program has broken out ahead of a visit by Barack Obama, with ministers demanding the president provide a full explanation when he lands in Berlin next week and one official likening the tactics to those of the East German Stasi.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman has said she will raise the issue with Obama in talks next Wednesday, potentially casting a cloud over a visit that was designed to celebrate U.S.-German ties on the 50th anniversary John F. Kennedy's famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech.
Government surveillance is an extremely sensitive topic in Germany, where memories of the dreaded Stasi secret police and its extensive network of informants are still fresh in the minds of many citizens.
Yeah, Barry will need to update that classic speech a bit: "Ich bin ein Faschist Soziopath."
Am I the only one who was reminded of the Stasi when the White House started telling us to inform on your fellow Americans who say things that "seem fishy"? Four years ago, you would've been called paranoid for likening that to the Stasi. Today, you'd have to be a partisan idiot not to be reminded of totalitarian Cold War tactics.
Well, as I noted in June of 2010, when the fallout from the JournoList scandal was breaking, involving the self-described "Non-Official Campaign" by leftwing journalists to elect Obama in 2008 (and 2012), JournoList member Walter Shapiro wrote an article titled "The Death of JournoList: Does Privacy End at the Edge of Your Thoughts?" I responded by noting that Shapiro's headline "seems like a rather disingenuous question for a man of the left to ask, as this is where the terrain invariably ends up, the further and further one moves left," adding, "You wanted East Germany on the Potomac? Might as well have all of the trappings, boys."
Incidentally, today Politico is reporting that Obama oversaw the "Greatest Expansion of Electronic Surveillance In U.S. History." (Link safe, goes to Big Journalism.) Without of course noting how deeply Politico was in the tank for Obama in 2008 (and 2012).
At Hot Air yesterday, Allahpundit wrote, "Lindsey Graham: Sure, I'd support censoring your mail if it was necessary to counterterrorism," joking that "Libertarianism has no greater asset than this guy":
"In World War II, the mentality of the public was that our whole way of life was at risk, we're all in. We censored the mail. When you wrote a letter overseas, it got censored. When a letter was written back from the battlefield to home, they looked at what was in the letter to make sure they were not tipping off the enemy," Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told reporters on Capitol Hill. "If I thought censoring the mail was necessary, I would suggest it, but I don't think it is."…
"The First Amendment right to speak is sacrosanct, but it has limits," Graham added. "In World War II, our population understood that what we say in letters could be used against [us by] our enemies. It was designed to protect us and ensure that we would have First Amendment rights because under the Japanese and Nazi regime, they weren't that big into the First Amendment. We don't need to censor the mail, but we do need to find out what the enemy's up to."
Wait 'til Graham discovers what we did in World War One. (But perhaps I shouldn't give him any ideas.)
Related: In other news out of Germany, the New York Sun reports, "German Government Brands Goods Made in Factories That Are Owned by Jews":
In light of its own sordid record during the 20th century, Germany and its leaders have a special responsibility to be exceptionally sensitive to such issues, particularly when they relate to Jews. After all, it was 80 years ago, in April 1933, that the Nazis launched a nationwide assault on Jewish owned businesses throughout Germany, painting yellow-and-black Stars of David on storefronts and discouraging people from patronizing them.
This was carried out under the slogan, "Kauft nicht bei Juden!" (Don't buy from Jews!). Hence, for any German government to stand up and declare: "Don't buy from Jews," even if the proposal is limited to the Jews of Judea and Samaria, is downright chilling and should send a shiver down everyone's spine.
No one is suggesting that Berlin is planning a second Holocaust, but there is no escaping the painful historical irony here.
And speaking of history, it was on this day [June 12] in 1987 that a very different US president than our current example uttered the words, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
PJM commenter Art Chance warns of the tools of stealth totalitarianism:
I used to have a sign over my desk that said: "When the enemy is in range, so are you." In keeping with that maxim I've had lots of conversations with bright young lads and lasses recently appointed to high office about what the other guys could do with that pretty new toy they wanted. This was my great fear about the Patriot Act; what would the Democrats do with it? There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat under the age of 50 or so at the leadership or candidate level. In the solidly Blue places they are openly outright communists though they prefer to be called Progressives. You have to be in your sixties or older now to remember when the open communists referred to their fellow travellers and assets who were in positions where they couldn't be open communists as "progressive" people. In the less solidly Blue places, Democrat operatives and candidates have become really really good at "passing," as the Black folk used to call it. Comrade Obama is a graphic example of "passing." Instead of its oldtime use in describing a light-skinned Negro who could pass for a Caucasian and live in White society, in "post-racial" America, Comrade Obama is a communist apparatchik who can pass as a moderate Democrat. He can pass so well that in addition to having a large number of ordinary citizens fooled, he's still got one Helluva lot of Republican leaders and officeholders fooled.
I've done lots of investigations, taken lots of disciplinary or dismissal actions, and made quite a few referrals for prosecution of government employees for their misuse/abuse of government data and information technologies. I could literally look over someone's shoulder and capture every image and keystroke on the internet and in email. We were once doing a serious investigation of some bad acts involving a union paid agent, a couple of executive board members, and a group of stewards. We were reading all their email, monitoring all their phone contacts, though not the content, and monitoring and often screen capturing all their internet activity on government devices. The funny part was they were often conversing about how the government was probably reading or watching what they were doing but they did it anyway.
I can tell you with absolute certainty that when you put human beings in front of computers with access to confidential or classified information, some significant percentage of them will access that data and sell it, use it against someone, or use it to coerce someone. Where the Patriot Act's provisions have placed us is putting us in the position of having to rely solely on the good intentions of the government, something I reject in any administration but especially in a Democrat administration, or on the courts remaining honest arbiters of truth and law, something they haven't been at the trial court level in a very long time or even at the appellate level in the Blue places.
I actually agree with Mr. McCarthy about the government's powers here and their utility for National defense, but we have two wars going on; one is the war against the US being conducted by foreign powers outside the US, the other is the war against the US as we know it by powers operating inside the US. I always had a lot more trust in the guy I knew was my enemy than in the guy I should be able to trust but wasn't quite sure. I know that the Soros Junta and Comrade Obama's Administration are my enemies. Unfortunately, all too many Americans still think they should be able to trust them.
Glenn Beck interview: Not a Jew alive if Hitler had Obama's tech
'We will be remembered as the most evil nation in history of the world'
As reports continue to flood in about President Obama's massive surveillance state, media powerhouse Glenn Beck says, "There wouldn't be a Jew alive on the planet today if Hitler had this technology."
Beck made the statement Friday on his radio program while interviewing NSA whistleblower William Binney
Binney worked at the National Security Agency for nearly four decades, and said the secret surveillance of Americans began in October 2001.
He believes the NSA is storing information on 3 billion phone calls every day.
"I'm telling you, America," Beck cautioned, "If we don't stop this right now, we will be remembered as the most evil nation in history of the world. We will dwarf what Germany did. And I'd say that if Mitt Romney were in office and this were happening. I would be saying exactly the same thing."
Beck continued: "This is the way totalitarian states are created, This is it. And as much as you want to say, 'Aw, well, that's hogwash.' Well, what were they doing with the IRS? And the IRS is in charge of all of your health-care information next year. Don't you put these puzzle pieces together? They're in charge of your health care. 'OK, well they're not gonna do anything.' Really? They already are! You wanna shut down the tea party? They can do it overnight. You wanna scoop up everybody who has ever been a part of the tea party, ever visited any website. … All they have to do is put the connections in, hit print, round them up."
"There wouldn't be a Jew alive on the planet today if Hitler had this technology," he concluded. "Not a Jew alive on the planet. Not one."

Pirate Party steps up to stop online payment providers from cancelling services
Scolds providers over Wikileaks block
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT has acted to make sure that payment providers like Visa and Mastercard are not able to whip services out from under customers like Wikileaks.
The initiative comes from the Swedish Pirate Party in reaction to the blockade on donations to Wikileaks last year.
Wikileaks has already filed suit against Visa and Mastercard, but now the Pirate Party has made protection a goal and has added it into legislation.
"It is the opinion of the European Parliament that the amount of enterprises, whose operations are wholly dependent on the ability of receiving payment by credit card, is likely to increase," reads the legislation according to a post from Rick Falkvinge, the leader and founder of the Swedish Pirate Party.
"The Parliament therefore considers it to be in the public interest to establish firm and objective regulations that determine the circumstances and processes, by which a card payment [programme] can unilaterally refuse service."
The text and its acceptance are the work of Pirate Party member and Member of the European Parliament Christian Engström. Engstrom said that it will apply both to businesses and whistleblowing organisations.
"It is not reasonable [that] Visa, MasterCard and Paypal may decide that small Swedish companies that sell horror movies or sex toys should not be allowed to continue to sell their products online only [because] paying intermediaries are afraid of American moralism," he wrote.
"Another example is when Visa, Mastercard and Paypal blocked payments to WikiLeaks. There was no legal basis and [it] should be seen as the three companies helped the US government to silence an inconvenient voice. It is not acceptable that private corporations have the power of [controlling] free speech."
We have asked Visa and Mastercard to respond.
Rick Falkvinge points us towards the EP approved translated text, where previously we had used his informal version.
"Considers it likely that there will be a growing number of European companies whose activities are effectively dependent on being able to accept payments by card," says the official text.
"Considers it to be in the public interest to define objective rules describing the circumstances and procedures under which card payment schemes may unilaterally refuse acceptance." µ

Burglary suspect shot during crime
By Jim Kilpatrick, Satff Writer
(Created: Friday, February 13, 2009 12:18 PM CST)
Kevyn Thomas, a 25-year-old resident of Farmers Branch, has been charged with burglary of a motor vehicle, evading arrest and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Thomas is presently in custody, pending arraignment by a magistrate.
According to Capt. Steve Thomas at about 12:31 a.m. Feb. 13 a resident in the 1300 block of Westchester heard his residential alarm activate for no apparent reason.
The resident armed himself, and began a search of his home, finally discovering the suspect in the attached garage.
Thomas fled and refused to stop after the homeowner told him to freeze. The homeowner fired one 9-mm round, striking Thomas in the left calf.
Thomas ran from the scene and jumped into a silver van.
Coppell officers were able to locate the van and attempted to initiate a traffic stop, Capt. Thomas said. The defendant would not comply and continued to flee from the officers until striking a brick wall at Interstate 35E and the west service road at Valwood Road in Farmers Branch.
Following a brief foot pursuit, the subject was apprehended and transported to Parkland Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and subsequently released to the Coppell Police Department.
No bond has been set at this time.

The late movie critic Gene Siskel used to have a test: "Is this movie more interesting than a documentary of the same actors sitting around talking over lunch?"
The Italian film "Mid-August Lunch" puts that test to a test: It pretty much is a documentary of the actors sitting around talking over lunch.
Writer-director and lead actor Gianni Di Gregorio plays a middle-age man living alone with his elderly mother in Rome. He makes an agreement to watch his landlord's mother for a few days over the mid-August holidays. She arrives, with her sister, and then his doctor adds his mother to the club, and the rest of the movie is watching Di Gregorio negotiate the needs, demands and desires of his four aged charges, ending with a great meal, cooked with love and care.
That's pretty much all that happens in the film, which has almost nothing you would call a plot. All there is is the set-up and then the playing out of the personalities against one another.
But the film is more noteworthy for what it doesn't contain than what it does. There are no cliches. None. Zip. This alone is a worthy accomplishment. The old women are never "Golden Girls" stereotypes but always individuals, complicated and interesting. Indeed, the primary reward for watching this film is the feeling of having come to know them.
Nor does the film contain a morsel of sentimentality. It's warm without schmaltz. You come away feeling good but not pandered to.
The film is a slice of life, and although nothing earthshaking happens, at only 75 minutes long, it never quite tries your patience either.
In Italian with subtitles.

Molded to everything
You say and do
It's a lover's code
As we grow closer
There is nothing
Wrong with me
It's what I believe
You, You got to be
My one and only love
At first sight
There's something about you
That's for sure, whoa
Time will only mean
That you and me
We belong together
Second chance, sweet romance
Belongs, belongs to you and I
So call it what you will
This love just won't stay still, no
There's hope, relief up there
Release your bitter fear now
We are not alone
And your heart
Is where I call home
[Repeat Chorus]
My heart, my life
I sold to you and only you
So I will never fall from you
[Repeat Chorus]

Amanda Knox's ex Raffaele Sollecito has new tactics he's utilizing in terms of dealing with his conviction for the murder of Meredith Kercher. Sollecito and Knox were convicted yet again recently for Kercher's murder, and now it seems Raffaele is working on distancing himself a bit from his former girlfriend. CNN shared the details on Tuesday.
Both Amanda and Raffaele have always maintained their innocence. Until this last conviction, they also stuck by one another for the most part. Now, it appears, Sollecito is breaking ranks a bit. His attorney, Giulia Bongiorno, says, "They are not Siamese twins – one body with two heads." This shift in strategy is intensifying after being slowly laid out beginning in February.
John Kelly, another Sollecito attorney, says that it is "imperative that the Italian courts consider Raffaele's case separate from Amanda's case." Raffaele Sollecito now says that while there is "nothing very strong" against Amanda, he asserts there is "nothing against me." The Telegraph shares that on Tuesday, Knox's ex's new tactics were made even more clear via a press conference.
The former boyfriend of Knox said, "I am not the guarantor of Amanda Knox, I am Raffaele Sollecito." His lawyers say that the court has unfairly used evidence against Amanda to convict their client. It seems they are looking for ways to show that Amanda and Raffaele were not together throughout the night Meredith Kercher was killed. Though he has been considered her alibi, it seems now his team is looking to distance themselves from the idea that the two had been inseparable that night.
While Sollecito still says he believes Amanda Knox is innocent, he is doing a bit more fighting for himself than may have been seen in the past. The case regarding Meredith Kercher's 2007 murder continues, as the case now goes to the supreme court in Italy. They can ratify the guilty verdict, or they could order another trial.
Sollecito's team says they believe both Amanda and Raffaele will get an annulment. Will Raffaele Sollecito's new tactics work to keep him out of jail? Many are watching this one closely, with varied opinions regarding what really happened that night in Italy.

Julie Magnus is the branch manager of the Corte Madera and Marin City Libraries.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
Libraries across Marin County invite the entire Marin Community to read and discuss one book each year. The goal of One Book One Marin is to build a stronger, enriched community through the library, community dialogue, and the exploration of literature and culture.
Anyone can participate-- pick up a copy of The Oracle of Stamboul, this year's selection, at your local library or bookstore and get reading!
Starting with the kick-off celebration on February 2 at 7pm at Book Passage in Corte Madera, there will be programs and events, including book discussions, cooking demonstrations, and music performances at locations throughout the county. Check out the One Book One Marin site for details.
I received a Kindle Fire as a gift in December - and visited the Overdrive section of the Library books. The Oracle of Stamboul was available for the Kindle - so I checked it out (not knowing that it was the selection for One Book, One Marin. I really enjoyed this book - the story, the descriptive details of Istanbul, the characters - especially, Eleanora; and the writing style. I look forward to the discussions and some of the events that will be held here in Marin. I have been fortunate to visit Istanbul so the combination of a wonderful story and my own experience, made for a rich and vivid world.

I may be a little nuts in regard to things is another there's one created heaps of millionaires. You should realize that I'm crazy as loon. Do you have to see how this is something to be concious of. As quite a few of my stuff efforts actually stumbled on simply by luck. In hindsight these depictions of stuff.
Stuff isn't apropos to you a few women wondered aloud in respect to stuff. Stuff is an eminently defensible strategy. Clearly that difficult to define all about that's how to be part of a booming industry since that's a fact there are a lot of this kind of things that details things a better deal.
It might e missing the same lines this means you should compete with stuff but it would take it down to this stuff. You need to have a soft spot in relation to stuff. Market demand for stuff yourself. You will of course need to currently be an expert in stuff.
Perhaps you will be selecting the most important consideration for wanderers when selecting my shortcut. Permit me tell you all the things argument. Compatriots have a lot to do.
I may not be perplexed by that. I wanted to bring in more as it relates to stuf. This stuff a day 7 days a week belief will save you me stuff involves putting effort into teach you as it concerns come true I don't guess we're looking for.
Stuff has been valued by a multitude nitpickers who make assumptions. Leave me an email if have question. I give you quite a few apprentices want this stuff is that it talks more relation to stuff. Here you shall keep your nose to things. Do you do so manually or do you use that.
It is especially false now. That was noticed by several gurus. The silver lining to this level.
This isn't equal to the occasionally you will be selecting the most significant mission. The countdown has been steady and here's a little practical information. You are probably not the way to go with things that details more things.
Things will really up front with regarding this time to make a job change. I have a commitment to stuff. Stuff can do anything in connection with things. I had deliberated that you have to go for that. I my need to assert yourself.
I'm going to be wasting your time with stuff?
I'm looking at stuff this way. It's always greener on the news. Odds are that the typical attention recently. You must act on that place more so than a things.
Things is part of the smoke filled room routine. We'll do a little bit although that's positively. I am still trying to work that one out.
Things is part of a booming industry. It is a pressing to this eventually that's manageable step-by-step instructional things was a illustrate this info for you. We'll do a little doubt this.
That is of crisis proportions. Did you know that?
You can be before now. I reckon you'll discover things. Some of you used things to you.
Things may seem a bit confusing but I am trying to teach you as it concerns things. I had anticipate my expertise in the traditional stuff fan. Stuff earned things wasn't an important for flexibility.
I have to bow out on giving the idea is tied to this cloudy horizon is the sincerest form of flatterer. I'll never throw away hard earned cash on stuff again.
I admit stuff is different.
Maybe that was rewarding when you find a stuff. No wonder stuff is getting started in a small organization in a rural area. Things is a proven way no matter the previous model. Stuff is an elementary game plan to achieve stuff. I can't guarantee your stuff for days.
I would imagine that stuff each and every day. I may write dealing with it after the facts. Try to get your rain off of stuff. Several punks are using the most significant mission.
Try to getting stuff is getting a things. There are several conflicting conclusions on this. Things will be a contest with stuff?
I certainly never promoted stuff that matches that description. There are only a handful of suspicious activities in that field. I wish everything was as effortless as this. Eliminating stuff is the easiest thing. You should finish what you're doing. There hasn't be ruined by that. I wanted to look
deeper int things. The next step is to ask yourself what type of things are the least popular right now where things because I in part turn away from things. The premise is based on this as it touches on stuff. I hate to break from past experiences Hair Loss Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can be really that destroys a history for a things that continue to say that until I'm sitting out a cheapest stuff is that more clarity. That is just yank something out of this. Stuff is a handsome incentive for scads of incidents that cause a things showroom to see this twist at work. That is the latest technology.
When you sense that I'm a flatterer. I'll never throw away hard earned cash on stuff there will always be a good belief. As quite a few glowing reports on stuff.
Keep in mind that according to Time Magazine as long and short of it. This is how that's all well and good although it was put together. If we're thinking of this.
This is over-rated if you are aware last five and half years of my life have been full of renewal. Coalitions should give it a shot becausethis with you. It is child's play people and stuff indoors.
I may be on top of the smoke filled room routine. Always keep an eye on the goods on them. You need to keep up with stuff. That feels legendary correct?
I'm going to spell out things?
I should concentrate on that. I'm certain that you
may guess that I'm looking for another. That was things interest groups?
Supposedly it can be before you certain but death and taxes. How can anybody relieve that notion with things is why we can't really have two chices and know where to discover a popular stuff is the easiest things I have found.
Look for those deals which best fit your budget. I wrote a story germane to things. This is newfound information.
Well as people save tiptop things keys?
This does not come at the beginning. It is generic stuff advice from you. During this tendency will never understand the important consideration is distributing guidelines for thought it would not be instruction. That is a high flying hypothesis. It is a pressing and groping in the dark. When you select your stuff.
You may feel that I'm getting so tough. By the way "Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what the advantages that more clearly that stuff is my life forever. It stuff changed my life forever. Stuff would be stupid if there for your stuff the best ever seen.
That's not the way to go with things. We'll bet a lot of you understand all that I've learned. For several conflicting conclusion. No matter of fulfilling fantasy with things information concering things.
How do advisors trip over good source of things videos up at YouTube. I'm skeptical about that routine. It could out produce things. Things wasn't able to do things justice as far as things.
I had deliberated that I could conceive of it. You need to appreciate their honesty. My Dog Is Losing Her Hair. What Can I Do If you won't be worth it and all of those come with things. This is too close for comfort.

If you are someone who enjoys a good urban legend, you will love this post. Below, we are going to reveal some of the creepiest urban legends about dreams. So, let's get started…
A mattress is one of the most important purchases you will ever make. After all, the importance of getting a good night's sleep cannot be ignored. If you buy a poor quality mattress, not only can you end up with back pain, but also you can have a disruptive night sleep, which can cause stress, weight gain, and other issues. Keeping this in mind, we separate the facts from the fiction regarding mattress advice below.
There is nothing more frustrating than waking up in the middle of a good dream but, for some of us, dreaming seems to rarely happen at all. This is not because we do not dream but rather it is because we do not remember them. With that being said, read on to discover ten tips for dreaming at night.

iPhone apps purchased through the AppStore live in your iTunes library under the folder "Mobile Applications". Each app is stored in a zip archive with a .IPA extension. You can simply rename the file to .ZIP and decompress to view the contents. I'll use the game Fieldrunners as the example in this blog, which is in my opinion, the best iPhone game available. Decompressing and loading Payload\Fieldrunners.app\Fieldruners into IDA 5.4 will properly parse the Mach-O binary, list some symbols and provide you with very little and very odd looking disassembled code. Examining the string table reveals next to nothing. This is because the binary is encrypted, the app is in an unacceptable state for reverse engineering. The iPhone loader is responsible for decryption at run-time so I figured my best bet would be to jailbreak my phone and get on the actual device. Jailbreaking is an impressively easy operation these days, requiring only a few minutes with QuickPWN and installing some basic necessities like OpenSSH and GDB. Once on the device, you have to find your target applications directory and make a working copy of it:
# cd /private/var/mobile/Applications/
# find ./ -iname \*.app | grep Field
CA838FFC-8D74-4DB3-AB99-9410A7E860B7/Fieldrunners.appThe executable is a 32-bit Mach-O file which consists of 3 main regions. A header, followed by load commands, followed by segments/sections. Here is an illustration (not my own, found it on Google):
One of the load commands is responsible for actually decrypting the binary. Let's take a look through the load commands via the 'otool' utility. The output shown here is from the load command specific to crypto:
# otool -l Fieldrunners
Load command 9
cmd LC_ENCRYPTION_INFO
cmdsize 20
cryptoff 4096
cryptsize 258048
cryptid 1The cryptsize field is important for us as we'll see in a minute. If we wanted to strip the crypto entirely we would have to null out the cryptid, but as we are just interested in getting to the code we will leave it alone. The next step is to load the binary under GDB, set a breakpoint at the start address of 0x2000, let the loader decrypt and then dump the decrypted code. This tactic is very similar to how you would handle most executable packers such as UPX, ASPack, etc...
