According to the report, ASML is the market leader in the semiconductor lithography industry, with a share of 57% based on the number of units shipped in 2011. Nikon holds the second place with a share of 27.8% followed by Canon with a share of 15.2%. In terms of revenues, ASML's share was 81.6% in 2011. In 2001, Nikon was leading the market with a share of 41.6%, while Canon and ASML shares were 34.8% and 22.4%, respectively.
In 2006, Canon held a share of 48.8% in the low-end i-line stepper market, the least advanced lithography technology to fabricate chips. Nikon held the second place with a share of 34.9% followed by ASML with a share of 16.3%. Canon has continued its dominance in the market and its share in 2011 was 52.9%. Nikon was the second with a share of 40% and ASML held the third place with a share of 7.7%.
ASML achieved a share of 72.4% in the immersion market's first year in 2006, while Nikon represented the remaining share of 27.6% as Canon did not enter into the market. ASML maintained its leadership in the market and achieved a share of 82% in 2011, while the share of Nikon fell down to 18%.
The Information Network's President, Dr. Robert N. Castellano stated that it seems that the existing lithography market scenario is set, and extended ultra violet lithography (EUVL) will be the next market for Canon or Nikon to regain market dominance in leading technology. In fact, Nikon shipped one EUVL tool in 2008, but postponed further advancement.
In 2010, Nikon had announced that its high-volume EUVL tool will be available in 2014-2015. In the meantime, ASML had shipped three EUVL systems in 2011. Dr. Castellano informed that ASML's monopoly in the high-end stepper market, such as EUVL and ArF immersion tools, has and will have a major impact on manufacturers dealing in semiconductors.

Bitcoin conference enters its second day in San Francisco today. The buzz from the New York Department of Financial Services regulations to the future of bitcoin is on topic, reported Coin Desk yesterday.
Adam Draper of VC Boost kept his comments about the NYDFS proposed regulation to the point that it "sucks." The BitLicense and other details of the NY regulations present a situation worse than bank regulations according to Draper.
Benjamin Lawsky, Superintendent of NYDFS has contended since the beginning of the year and talks on bitcoin regulation that it would be a good open for merchants. The wary consumer buyer would be more willing to use bitcoin in purchases if regulations were in place.
James Robinson, of RRE Ventures offered his assessment which is the other side from Draper in that he believes that the consumer needs bank protection and consumers will continue to choose banks over BTC. Robinson added: "You may not like [banks], but you know that your money will be there tomorrow."
Draper has 12 of his newest VC Boost group Tribe4 in bitcoin startups. He is committed to success. Draper has shown ownership of venture capital startups with success in the past.
The conference last week-end in Chicago and the conference today in San Francisco has opposing views on how much regulations such as the NY proposal wills stifle venture capital.
Michael Terpin, founder of PR service Marketwired of Toronto, Canada stated that negative news sells and the media puts it out quickly. It is a reality of business. The days of the wild west are disappearing for Bitcoin and the responsible actions of venture capital leaders and more positive news is out there for bitcoin transactions.
Tim Parsa, CEO of BitReserve, said, "Anything you fight, you make stronger."
Dan Wheeler, a regulatory partner at Bryan Cave LLP, takes the regulation rules very seriously. Wheeler said: "This is an area that the regulators are very good at. They are very sophisticated in looking at KYC (Know Your Client) programs. And unfortunately there are consequences for not doing it right." The ghosts of SEC and FINRA based KYC rules are very much on the minds of the savvy bitcoin exchanges.
Jose Caldera made a very penetrating and debate worthy point about bitcoin by discussing the IRS ruling of bitcoin as an asset. The IRS applies the capital gain/loss rules to its transactions. He said, "I think it deserves its own financial asset class. That's why it's property, that's why it needs that classification."
Debate and rulings on bitcoin will be heated and heavy but it is the cryptocurrency of the Internet. Bitcoin is a new paradigm. It is time to recognize and embrace the future ahead for bitcoin. Leaders like Tim Draper will be out in front.
Bitcoin is lawful money in California; signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown in June.
"In an era of evolving payment methods, from Amazon Coins to Starbucks Stars, it is impractical to ignore the growing use of cash alternatives," Democratic Assemblyman Roger Dickinson, the bill's author stated to Coin Desk earlier this year.

May 19, 2009
Arizona freshman Natasha Marks will travel to College Station, Texas to represent the Wildcats in the 2009 Division I Women's Tennis Championships May 20-25.
In the round of 64, Marks will take on sixth seeded Fani Chifchieva of Auburn on Wednesday, May 20 at 12:30 p.m.
Chifchieva is currently ranked No. 6 in the nation, and went 26-8 overall in the 2008-09 season.
Marks finished off her freshman season 19-10 in singles, 12-8 for the dual matches.
"Natasha is eager to take the court after a few weeks off." Said head coach Vicky Maes, "She has a tough challenge drawing the sixth seed, but everyone here is good so it will be a challenge either way. Facing a new opponent will help her play loose which is when she's at her best anyway."

IGBT Baseplates with engineered dome profiles. AlSiC-9 is chosen for these applications since it supports the bonding of DBC dielectric ceramic substrates. The product can be designed with a dome profile for an improved thermal interface contact with cold plates and coolers.
The controlled CTE AlSiC value makes it compatible with ceramic substrate attachment for high power IGBT applications that require high reliability. AlSiC provides superior reliability performance surviving multiple thousands of cycles without delamination of the substrate from the baseplate, as compared to Copper and Aluminum baseplates[1]. AlSiC baseplates are one third to one fifth the weight of CuMo or CuW materials (controlled thermal expansion) baseplates.
|CPS AlSiC IGBT Baseplates
|CPS AlSiC IGBT Pin Fin Coolers
The compatible controlled thermal expansion behavior of AlSiC combined with the material being light-weight make it an ideal material choice for high reliability IGBT applications such as traction, power control, and fly-by-wire systems.

Before anyone gets all upset, this is NOT a Michele Bachmann bashing thread.
Iowa Rep. Danny Carroll has issued a huge statement. He has declared Michele Bachmann "Biblically qualified", to be President. That's right this guy claims to be some bible expert and has declared Bachmann to be fully qualified under biblical guidelines. Now Rep. Carroll has a right to claim bible expertise. It's a free country after all. But this is a very bold statement.
DES MOINES, Iowa — A group of Iowa pastors and faith leaders said Tuesday that they support Michele Bachmann for president.The group met at the Iowa statehouse Tuesday to announce their support. Bachmann did not attend the news conference.The group said Bachmann is the most "Biblically qualified" of the GOP candidates to be leader."It is time to decide. We want to offer our input, our recommendation of Michele Bachmann as a good choice for Iowans. Iowans who particularly take serious their Christian faith," said Iowa Rep. Danny Carroll.The group describe biblically qualified as a person of truth, who fears god and hates covetousness. Bachmann they said is the best example of that.
This really takes a lot of balls to make this. Can someone explain what biblically qualified means?

Murray's Guide to Cheese Basics
Everything you ever wanted to know about cheese! Learn to tell different cheese styles apart, how to make a cheese plate and complete your spread with accompaniments. Should you exhibit enough self-control to have leftovers, we'll tell you the best way to store them.
- Choosing
Choosing Cheese
Fresh cheese is exactly what it sounds like: Fresh! Cheese! Meaning it doesn't really undergo any aging, still has lots of moisture, and should be eaten right away. Fresh cheeses have no rind and are characterized by their light, clean, milky taste and a bright white color.
Examples: Fresh Chevre, Fresh Mozzarella, Burrata
Soft Ripened and Bloomy Rinds
The flavor ranges from rich, sweet butter to earthy mushroom with a peppery bite. The texture can be gooey and runny, spongy and tacky, or anywhere in between. A bit of mottling and color variation is expected on the rind of a quality handmade cheese – don't let it freak you out. The characteristic pillowy white or wrinkly off-white rind develops from molds that are added during the cheesemaking process.
Examples: Brie, Haystack Peak, La Tur
Washed Rinds aka "Stinky Cheese"
When the rinds of these cheeses get washed with a liquid (typically brine, booze, or some combination of both) it encourages a bacterial growth that gives washed rinds their distinctive orange color and signature stank. But don't fear the reaker! The bark is almost always worse than the bite.
Examples: Epoisses, Taleggio, Grayson
Not quite soft, not quite firm – it's semisoft! Almost all of these mellow, pliable cheeses are made for melting. Texture can be as soft as whipped pudding or bordering on firm but with a little give when you give it a squeeze.
Examples: Fontina, La Serena, Morbier
Dense and toothsome, firm cheeses are ideal for snacking and slicing. Any cheese that's firm to the touch but not as hard as Parmigiano-Reggiano fits in here. Flavors are often sweet and nutty, sometimes even earthy.
Examples: Cheddar, Manchego, Alpine/Swiss cheese
Hard / Grating
These aged cheeses have very little moisture and are ideal for grating, but also make a great snack. The flavor can be sharp and salty, or sweet, with hints of butterscotch.
Examples: Parmigiano Reggiano, Podda Classico, Aged Goudas
Blue cheese is known for its signature blue molding, but this category has plenty of variety when it comes to texture and flavor. Blues can be creamy, crumbly, or fudgy; mild, piquant, or meaty. Trust us: there's a blue for you!
Examples: Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Stilton
- Serving
How to Serve Cheese
Tricks of the Trade
- Cheese should always be served at room temperature for the best flavor. Take your cheese out of the fridge an hour before serving.
- Having guests over? Three to five cheeses is a good number to serve: fewer can look skimpy, but more could overwhelm your guests and their taste buds.
- How much to serve? Our rule of thumb is to purchase 1 oz per cheese per person. For a party of 8, you would get a minimum of a ½ lb of each cheese. If cheese is all you'll be serving, get a little more. Most of our gift selections serve 8-10 people.
- Mix it up! Cheese is made in many styles, all over the world, from a variety of milk types (goat, sheep, cow, and water buffalo). Highlight varying styles, textures, appearances, and milk types for a stunning presentation and a wide range of flavors.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. Start with what you like first and work from there.
- Still need help? Contact us! (1-888-692-4339)
Cheese Board vs. Cheese Course
If you're serving cheese to a larger group it is best to serve big pieces and create a cheese board. We love serving on darker materials like slate or rustic wooden boards for a nice contrast of color. Depending on how many cheeses you're serving you may want to distribute them among more than one serving board to spread things out.
Each cheese should have its own knife for serving. Just before your guests arrive, cut a few slices to make people less shy about digging in. And accessorize -- cheese looks even more inviting surrounded by fruits, nuts, crusty bread and crackers.
For your next dinner party, go more formal with a cheese course during dinner or for dessert. A cheese plate is arranged in clockwise fashion, working from mildest to strongest, with the first cheese at 12 o'clock on the plate. Pick a few accompaniments, like a dollop of preserves or honey, to create a beautiful plate.
- Pairing
What Should I Serve with Cheese?
Great question! Here are some of our favorite things to serve with cheese:
Nuts help bring out subtleties of flavor and aroma in a cheese. Almonds, toasted hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, and cashews are all great. When you're enjoying a creamy cheese it's nice to have something crunchy to bring a little textural variety to the table.
Olives naturally complement sheep and goat's milk cheese. Sometimes they just provide a pleasant, briny interlude between bites, or a pop of color for the table. Don't forget to leave a bowl for pits!
Dried fruits like figs, dates, and cherries are a lovely sweet-but-not-too-sweet companion to almost any cheese. Sweet things are a great way to balance a salty or pungent cheese – try blue cheese with dried cherries or figs for dessert.
Charcuterie can make the difference between a snack and a meal. Serve thin slices of prosciutto, Serrano ham, and sweet or spicy salamis with aged cheeses like Pecorino and Manchego. Charcuterie is a great way to build a spread that highlights food from a particular country, like Spain or Italy. Leftovers can be used in sandwiches: try prosciutto with goat cheese and fig jam!
Pickles add a lively acidic zip to cut through the richness of any cheese. Don't limit yourself to dilled cucumbers. Pickled beets are lovely with fresh chevre, and pickled okra or string beans will spice up your summer spread.
Jam balances flavors in the same way as dried fruit, but has a more direct sweetness and a softer texture. A sweet jam is great with a gooey goat cheese spread onto a crispy cracker. Fruit pastes, such as membrillo made from quince, pairs nicely with slices of sheep's milk cheese like Manchego.
Chutneys are a tasty alternative to more straightforward jams. They bring just the right amount of savory spice and a tangy pickled quality that melds nicely with the texture and nuance of a heartier cheese like grassy English cheddar.
Honey looks elegant drizzled over a speckled slice of blue cheese – and it tastes even better. We also love stronger, more savory honey, like Buckwheat, with mild and milky cheese like Ricotta.
Fresh Fruit makes the table more colorful, more abundant, and more wholesome. Grapes are our go-to – they're easy to rinse and arrange on a platter, and easy for guests to pluck and enjoy. Fresh berries are nice when they're in season. Apple with cheddar is another classic combo. Citrus doesn't work as well, so skip the orange wedges.
Bread and Crackers are obviously going to be served with most cheese, but which to choose? Balance the strength of the cheese with the bread or the cracker. A lighter cheese might get lost with a strong flavored cracker, and something pungent might taste best with heartier bread. For something new, try serving cheese with bread that contains olives, fruit, or nuts. And don't feel like you always need a cracker with a piece of cheese – sometimes you just want to enjoy the flavor on its own!
- Storing
Got Leftovers? How to Store Cheese.
The best thing you can do is buy smaller pieces of cheese more often, then you'll always know it's fresh! But when you buy too much or can't make frequent trips to a shop, this is the way to store cheese at home.
Wrap It
Do wrap cheese tightly in cheese paper, which is specially designed to allow cheese to breathe without drying out. You can reuse the cheese paper from the shop, or recreate the effect with a combination of wax paper and plastic wrap. Wrap in wax paper or parchment followed by plastic wrap. The one exception to this is high moisture blue cheese, which stores better in foil.
Don't wrap with plastic wrap, which suffocates the cheese and can impart a plastic-y taste – yuck!
Don't leave a hunk of cheese floating in a Ziploc bag. You're basically making a mold terrarium with this method.
Store It
Do put wrapped cheese in your vegetable drawer. It's slightly warmer and moister than the rest of the fridge, making it a less hostile environment for cheese.
Don't put your cheese in the freezer. Just don't do it.
Remember It
Do eventually eat it! Most aged, hard cheese will last a month in your fridge if wrapped well. Semi-firm to firm cheese is best eaten within 3 weeks. If you notice spots of mold on the surface, these can be scraped off with a knife. Fresh, soft and gooey cheeses should be eaten within a week and mold is usually a sign that it's past its prime.
Don't forget about it! Make sure to check in your cheese – it may sound strange, but cheese is a living thing. So take a taste, give it a fresh wrapping, and don't let your refrigerator become a cheese graveyard!
- Cheese Facts
Everything you wanted to know about cheese but were afraid to ask.
Q: Can I eat the rind?
A: If it's made of cloth, wax, or foil (you know, stuff that isn't food…), steer clear; otherwise, eat what you want. In general, the younger the cheese, the more edible and palatable its rind. If you're not sure, eat your cheese from the inside out (meaning from the center of the cheese to the rind). The flavors will be stronger the closer you get to the rind, and if you don't like the paste just beneath the rind, you probably won't like the rind, either.
Q: What's the difference between raw and pasteurized milk?
A: Raw milk cheese is made from milk that has not been pasteurized, a treatment for heating milk to destroy unwanted bacteria. Unfortunately, good bacteria may be eliminated at the same time, including those that aid digestion, promote immunity, and produce cheese with greater flavor and complexity. What we've found over the years is that clean, fresh milk and careful cheesemaking determine a cheese's greatness. Cooked (pasteurized) milk should not be taken as a sign of inferior cheese. In the US, pasteurization is required of all cheese sold at less than 60 days of age, the intention being the elimination of potentially harmful pathogens.
Q: What is cheese aging all about?
A: A cheese cave is like a wine cellar: a place for cheese to ripen until it's perfectly ready to eat. Murray's sources cheese in from all over the world, and we ripen more than 100 types of cheese in our caves beneath our Bleecker Street store. Our caves are temperature- and humidity-controlled and staffed by a Cave Manager who takes great care to provide the best environment for cheeses to reach perfection. Our manager also creates special cheeses for Murray's using seasonal ingredients. Learn more about cave aging here.
Q: My cheese reeks! What's up with that?
A: We've been known to clear a subway car with a bag of cheese cut 15 minutes ago. Cheese wrapped in a bag or box can smell pretty intense, but that's no cause for concern. Just get it into the fridge and remember to give it an hour at room temperature before serving.
Q: How long can I keep my cheese?
A: This is real cheese, not the stuff in a can. That means you're looking at 3-4 weeks maximum, and that's for the hard cheeses like Gruyere or Parmigiano-Reggiano. Fresh cheeses (bright white, no rind) should be eaten with 7 days of opening. Soft, creamy cheeses should be eaten within 10-14 days. If you see small dots of surface mold on your hard cheese, it can be scraped off. It won't hurt you, or the flavor of your cheese, and it beats tossing the whole piece out. Honestly, though. Why store it when you know you can eat it all in one sitting? Call your friends! Don't have any friends? Drown your sorrows in cheese! You can find more storage tips here.
Q: What does it mean for a cheese to be in (or out of) season?
A: Animals left to their natural cycles do not make milk all the time. No milk, no cheese. Goats and sheep are particularly finicky breeders, and tend to mate in the fall and stop milking during the winter months. That may mean shortages of younger styles during December-April. As for cows, they can produce milk at any time of year, but the early spring and fall milk, when cows munch on grasses and flowers, is considered the most flavorful and fuels singularly delicious cheese.

For the second meeting in a row, the Cheney School Board received pleas from audience members to consider building a new school in Airway Heights, or at the very least north of Interstate 90.
Area resident Kippie Shaddix, who spoke on such a need at the Aug. 21 meeting, claimed at the Sept. 11 meeting that "no thought or consideration" to a new school in Airway Heights was given when the district was pursuing construction of three new schools to meet growth demands in the district. District officials have cited this growth and the associated overcrowding as some of the reasons for pass...

During BlackBerry's event in 2013 announcing BlackBerry 10, the company surprised everyone by appointing singer, Alicia Keys, as the new Global Creative Director. While this position was mostly for publicity, it represented the length that BlackBerry was willing to go to save itself from financial ruin.
Now less than a year later, and with new management steering the ship, Alicia Keys has been relieved of her duty. While no official reason has been mentioned for her departure from her honorary position, it could be due to the fact that Keys never really gave up her iPhone or iPad for BlackBerry devices. Just weeks after the BB10 announcement, Keys tweeted from the iPhone she reportedly gave up for the new at the time BlackBerry Z10.

A golden piece of history stands tall in Westwood at 2918 Werk Road. This amazing house was built for James N. Gamble on his father's earlier dwelling dating back to 1875. James N. Gamble was one of the owners of the company known today as Procter and Gamble. This home is beautifully constructed at two and a half stories tall with an architectural style of Queen Anne style. The original lot measured out to 60 acres when the estate was first built. Gamble named the home Ratonagh after his hometown of Northern Ireland.
Gamble lived in the house until 1932 when he passed away. His daughter, Olivia lived in the home until the 1960's when she also passed away. The house was then transferred into the Louis Nippert's name who was the grandson of Gamble. By 2010, the home was reduced to 15 acres of land and had been subtracted into smaller homes. The owner now is Greenacres Foundation of Indian Hill decided that they were going to take bids to demolition this piece of history that helped build Cincinnati's history. Activists and historic preservationists came together after learning this in order to save the home. Now only you can help protect the house from being demolitioned. Please help preserve Cincinnati's historical buildings and landmarks from being destroyed because with each building and landmark that is destroyed a little piece of Cincinnati dies with it.

Lesson Plan
Play Fair
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2
Woof! Woof!: The focus of this lesson is to provide children with opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of playing fair though reading and participation in organized games.
Teaching with Clifford's Big Idea: Play Fair
When children are involved in an environment where fair play is emphasized, they experience how important it is to treat others fairly. Teamwork, taking turns, and sharing all reinforce social skills that help children interact successfully at home, school, and playtime.
Teach: Playing Fair is Fun!
Objective: The following activity nurtures essential:
- social and emotional skills
- language and literacy
- critical thinking and problem solving skills
Discuss how much fun playtime with friends can be when everyone participates and follows the rules! Share illustrations from Clifford's Sports Day by Norman Bridwell (Scholastic). What happens when Clifford participates? Have children retell the story describing Clifford's actions. Ask children to name their favorite games and explain game rules. Inquire how they value playing fair and ways that they can handle unfair situations on the playground. Also discuss how important it is to include everyone, especially new friends, when we are learning and playing at school!
Practice: Games Galore!
Objective: The following activity nurtures essential:
- physical and motor skills
- social and emotional skills
Remind children that playing fair means taking turns, sharing equipment, and being considerate of others during games. Use these fun game ideas to reinforce the concept of playing fair:
- Who's Missing Now?- Have children sit in a circle with closed eyes...no peeking because that's not fair! Sneak one child out of sight. Then let the children guess who's missing!
- Ball Play- Play catch with different kinds of balls, encouraging children to take turns throwing, catching, and retrieving the balls.
- Air Bounce- Encourage children to keep a large beach ball from touching the ground for as long as possible by passing/bouncing the ball from person to person.
- Wind Dancers-Divide children into three, four, or five groups. Give each group a different color of crepe paper steamers. Children will move on command as directions are given for each group to take turns running, circling, skipping, walking, zig-zagging, etc.
Extend: Cooperative learning is fun when everyone gets involved!
- Involve children in creating a new variation of a game that they love. Vote on a new game name and cooperatively make new rules. Play the game after everyone demonstrates understanding of the new game's rules of fair play.

DES MOINES, Iowa - The Northern Illinois women's tennis team completed its first weekend of the spring season with a close-fought win over Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The Huskies split the match 3-3 in singles play and relied on a 3-0 record from its doubles teams to decide the winner.
The Huskies (2-1) grabbed all three singles victories by way of shut-out. Leading NIU at the No. 1 spot, senior Sara McLaughlin (Moline, Ill./Moline) posted scores of 6-1 and 6-3 to take down the Cougars' (3-2) Kali Donner.
NIU relied on a strong showing from two of its freshmen in the No. 2 and 4 singles spots, Nelle Youel (Crystal Lake, Ill./Crystal Lake Central) and Mary Malkin (Tel Aviv, Israel/Alliance) to pull in the other two victories for the Huskies. Youel brought down SIUE's Rachel Webb by outscoring her 6-2, 6-1 in the highest starting spot for the freshman this year. Malkin made quick work of the Cougars' Lindsey Raymond while defeating her 6-1, 6-1.
The brightest spot for Huskies came from the doubles play as all three teams gained victories to wrap up the match. The No. 1 and 3 teams of McLaughlin/Rogers and De La Torre/Malkin shut-out their opponents Raymond/Donner and Webb/Corkern, respectively, 8-0. The No. 2 team of Youel/Dekkinga continued its success from the fall with an 8-5 win over SIUE's Ilcewicz/Horning.
"Doubles looked great today," said NIU Head Coach Ryun Ferrell. "It's the best they've looked all weekend. We're a young team and looked like it a little. At times we looked a little flustered but we pulled off a good win. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville is a good program that has been improving. Overall, I really like the direction our program is heading. Coming out and taking care of business was exciting and nice to see."
The Huskies will continue spring play on Friday, Feb. 3, at 6:00 p.m. CT in Waterloo, Iowa. NIU will meet Northern Iowa on Friday and North Dakota on Saturday.
No. 1 Sara McLaughlin (NIU) def. Kali Donner (SIUE), 6-1, 6-3

A fast food or chain restaurant is what comes to mind when people think of dining the suburbs. Luckily, there is an influx of restaurants choosing to grow roots in the suburbs and their cuisine is anything but ordinary. I live outside the perimeter (OTP), but I love to eat out, so that meant I had to drive to Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Midtown, or Atlanta to find quality food. Fortunately that is not the case anymore, and I have compiled a list of some of the restaurants offering up quality cuisine in the 'burbs.
None of these restaurants, with the exception of Tin Roof Kitchen, has a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. This means cross contact is a possibility, but all of these restaurants take the necessary steps to prevent it by following safe handling procedures. The last thing they want to do is make someone ill, so be sure to make your food allergy/intolerance known to the staff when placing an order.
- Common Quarter - in Marietta made the Top 100 Neighborhood Restos in America 2014 by Open Table. Their menu has a number of gluten-friendly options, so be sure to ask your server for a rundown.
- Osteria Mattone - in Roswell was also was named Top 100 Neighborhood Restos in America 2014 by Open Table. Their menu offers gluten-free options, including three types of gluten-free pasta (Le Veneziane and two others), so be sure to ask your server for more details. They take handling food intolerance/allergies very seriously because they know how hard it can be to eat out and find something delicious and safe. I can't wait to go in and try some pasta!
- Salt Factory Pub - in Roswell, Alpharetta, and soon-to-be Woodstock offers an upscale gastro pub and wine bar experience with internationally influenced cuisine and a focus on drinks. The menu, which features comfort foods with international influences, is heavy with oysters, meats/cheeses, appetizers, and soups and salads. Although they don't have a gluten-free menu, a number of their options can be modified.
- Seed Kitchen & Bar - in Marietta isn't new to the dining scene, but its cuisine has earned it a place on this list. It offers a menu full of gluten-free options that are marked with a (gf) and prepared using safe handling procedures. "From day one, we knew that gluten-free was going to be a big part of our agenda," says Doug Turbush, chef and owner. I haven't been there yet, but their seasonal menu focuses on locally sustainable ingredients.
- Southbound - is open for lunch in Chamblee and it offers Udi's Gluten Free's bread for sandwiches. According to the restaurant, their cuisine is very 'gluten-free friendly' and they have taken the unusual step of marking items that cannot be modified with a "*".
- Table & Main - in Roswell is owned by the same group behind Osteria Mattone, so guests with food allergies/intolerance only need to make them known to receive a safe and delicious meal. According to Ryan Pernice, many of their regular menu items are either gluten free, or can be modified to be so. Here is a sampling of their simple, seasonal, and Southern gluten-free options: Charleston she-crab soup, pickle plate, vegetable plate, lamb rack, beef ribeye, scallops (minus croutons), and ice cream or puddin' (minus graham cracker) for dessert.
- Taqueria del Mar - I have been a fan of this restaurant since it opened in Norcross last year. It is the only place I go to get gluten-free crab cakes (bring them gluten-free breadcrumbs and call in advance). The quality of the seafood is top notch, the interior is hand crafted, and the location and staff are wonderful. Oh, and the prices aren't exorbitant either.
- The Crossing Steakhouse - in Norcross occupies the space formerly belonging to The Train Station. I haven't been there yet, but I have been told that the inside has been transformed just like the menu. They mainly offer surf and turf with Southern flair.
- Tin Roof Kitchen - in Alpharetta is the first 100% gluten-free restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This cuisine is indistinguishable as gluten-free and its bold and clever flavor combinations have people (gluten free or not) coming back for more.
- Zeal Restaurant - opened in Marietta at the end of 2013 and offers gluten-free bread and buns, has a dedicated fryer, and makes a gluten-free crust for their cheesecake. Their cuisine can be described as a twist on seasonal and locally sourced foods served in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. I haven't dined her yet, but some of the menu highlights include: fried green tomatoes, duck poutine, and stuffed pork tenderloin.
I have just given you ten options that keep you (and your money) in the suburbs, so go dine out and let me know what you think. I have never been happier to live in the 'burbs. Now, we just need to get more restaurants to Norcross, like a decent barbecue joint, a meat and three restaurant, etc.

|Mortellaro, Vandals finish 10th
PEORIA, Ariz. - A bogey-free two-under-par 70 in the final round of the Westbrook Spring Invitational propelled Idaho's Kayla Mortellaro to a 10th place finish at the tournament Monday, as the Vandal women's golf team also finished 10th in the team standings.
"Our ball striking was greatly improved over last week's tournament," Idaho coach Lisa Johnson said. "We gave ourselves many birdie opportunities and didn't make many of the putts. We will get back to work this week focusing on our short game and putting in preparation for Hawaii."
Mortellaro made birdie in the par-3 11th and par-5 17th to card a 70 and move up two places in the final round. She finished the 54-hole event at one-under-par after rounds of 72-73-70. Rachel Choi posted an even-par 72 on the final day and finished the tournament at four-over par and in 20th place.
Teo Poplawski finished in a tie for 27th place with a six-over par after rounds of 70-77-75. Kaitlyn Oster tied for 51st with 77-75-77, and Leilanie Kim was 16-over for the tournament with rounds of 78-78-76.
The Vandals finished the tournament at 21-over par, and on the wrong side of a cluster of four teams within four shots of seventh place. Nebraska was at the top of that group in seventh place at 18-over par, while Wisconsin finished eighth at 19-over and Eastern Michigan came in ninth at 20-over par. Illinois won the event at 11-under par, while Texas Tech came in second at eight-under in the 12-team event.
The Vandals will make the trip to Hawai'i for their next action at the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational at Kanoehe Klipper March 13-14.


text: The Main Street sewer line that runs from Pierron Street to Dean Road is in such poor condition there is the possibility it could collapse and cause a sink hole in the street, Belgium officials recently learned. The company that televised the sewer line in preparation for the Main Street reconstruction project scheduled for next spring said the repair cannot wait until then. Neil Anderson, wastewater treatment supervisor, told the Village Board Monday that the televised report shows three holes in the one-block stretch — the largest one is a foot long and six inches wide. "It has rotted. If we try to take it up, the sewer is so degraded we will damage it more," Anderson said. To do a permanent repair will cost $80,000, he said. Anderson recommended the village do a temporary repair for $12,000 that should last until the spring reconstruction. Visu-Sewer of Pewaukee has agreed to do the work, but they are busy now, Anderson said. "We're on their list and they will notify us when they can do it. It should be in the next few weeks," Anderson said. The process involves making a fiberglass sleeve for the pipe, then filling it with an epoxy and using steam or hot water to have the epoxy adhere to the sock, forming a pipe within a pipe, he said. The sewer line connection to private laterals will be cut while the repair is being done, Anderson said. Although it will take several days to prepare the fiberglass sleeve and epoxy mixture, he said, the lateral cut-offs will only be for a few hours. "Residents will be notified when it will happen," Anderson said. The holes have allowed stormwater to seep into the pipe and get into the wastewater system, Anderson said. However, he said, sewage did not escape into the soil. The sewage clung to the top of the pipes causing them to deteriorate, he said. Trustee Vickie Boehnlein asked if the village is required to get bids for the work. Normally anything over $6,000 should be bid, Village Attorney Gerald Antoine said, but bids are not required for emergency situations."This is an emergency," Anderson said. Visu-Sewer is experienced in such repairs and respected in the field, he said.Antoine suggested the village post a notice that the work is being done and deemed an emergency repair.

Volume: 27 Issue: 3 (March 2004)
Horsing Around
Whereas the donkey and the massive Clydesdales appear in many of the same shots, rarely were they filmed in close proximity to one another. In fact, the be-ginning sequence showing the donkey behind a fence in a field was the only one in which the animals were filmed together.
"Shooting with animals is difficult because they are so unpredictable," says John Myers, executive producer at Ring of Fire, the West Hollywood, California, effects studio responsible for the postproduction work. "But in this instance, the animal handlers were especially concerned for the safety of all the animals because of the size discrepancy between the donkey and the Clydesdales."
For this scene, artists integrated footage of the donkey, added light rays, color-corrected the shot, and composited the correct ear motions for the horses.
Ring of Fire, therefore, had to contend with a number of split-screen composites that placed the animals together, including the scene when the donkey walks into the barn to audition for the horses. To accomplish this, the group tracked the animals using 2d3's boujou camera-tracking software, and composited them using Discreet's inferno running on an SGI Onyx 2 workstation. They also used Discreet's combustion running on an Apple Power Mac G5 for prepping the mattes and finessing the shots.
When the donkey brays in this same sequence, the ears of all the Clydesdales move in unison. "We actually captured that in camera, but they all didn't move at the same time," says Myers. "So we went back and created isolated mattes, then tracked and composited the correct ear motions so the horses were responding to the noise simultaneously."
In the commercial, the donkey not only makes the Budweiser team, but is shown leading it. While compositing the donkey into the shot, the artists had to remove several of its training straps and reins without affecting the ornate signature harnesses.
In addition, the team used combustion to remove guide wires, harnesses, and leather reins that were used on the set to keep the donkey in place. Yet, the editors had to be careful not to rotoscope out the ornate harnesses worn by the donkey in the end of the spot that match those worn by the famous horses.
Finally, to support director Jeff Goodby's (Goodby, Silverstein & Partners) vision of an ideal environment, the group did an overall color correction within inferno, adding golden light rays so the scenes would reflect the donkey's glorious vision.
So, is the donkey's grand achievement a reality or just part of the dream? "That's up to the viewer to decide," Myers notes.

Traffic controls and ongoing construction continue for the State Route 99 (SR-99) Pelandale Avenue Interchange Reconstruction Project. In addition, construction on Salida Boulevard will be in progress. Motorists can expect delays and are advised to take alternate routes if possible.
Drivers are asked to be mindful of the following traffic controls:
- Eastbound traffic on Pelandale Avenue from Salida Boulevard to Sisk Road has one through lane with a left turn lane at both Northbound SR-99 on-ramp and Sisk Road intersections.
- Westbound Pelandale Avenue has existing center through lane closed and traffic must merge left to access the left-turn lane or merge right to access one through/right-turn lane.
These configurations will remain in place for several months. Motorists can expect to experience lengthy delays and are encouraged to utilize alternate routes when possible.
FUTURE DETOUR NOTIFICATION: Please be advised that on August 13, 2014, the northbound on-ramp to State Route 99 will be permanently closed while construction of the new northbound on-ramp is completed (approximately 3 weeks). Traffic on Pelandale Avenue that wishes to access northbound State Route 99 traffic will be detoured north to Kiernan Avenue interchange or south to the Standiford Avenue interchange. On August 13, 2014 the temporary southbound on-ramp (located at the south end of Salida Blvd.) will be open and operational. At that time the railroad crossing for traffic on Dakota Avenue to Salida Avenue will be closed. Traffic on Dakota Avenue will be detoured either south to Beckwith Road and east to the Standiford Interchange or west on Murphy Road then north on Finney Road then east on Broadway Avenue to the Kiernan Avenue Interchange.
Details regarding the SR-99/Pelandale Avenue Interchange Reconstruction project are available at www.sr99pelandale.org.

What an image to gree you this morning, but there was no other way, thankfully, to talk about underwear. Who is complaining, I am not, paricually with this shot coming from Jockey underwear. A staple in most guys draws, the leading underwear brand presents its 2012 Spring/Summer collection which is set to be Jockey's best season yet.
With geometric and striped patterns dominating the underwear world at the moment, Jockey have tapped into that trend head on in the signature all American USA Originals and International Collection. I am quite picky about what I wear; wether it be trunks or briefs but Jockey really has it covered on all angles for comfortable - a key factor - and style. I like the playfulness of these collections without them taking away from the stylishness of the offerings, as there is nothing worse than pants with cartoons on.
But what is nice about the brand is they are pretty social too; with a huge following on Twitter and Facebook, and embracing affectionardo bloggers such as myself by sponsoring this post.
Seeing as we are coming up to holiday season, and I will be spending this afternoon on a boat, go nautical with Jockey's USA Originals East Hampton pair, which are pretty striking and sporty.The range by Jockey, who held its first international catwalk show in London earlier this year - where was my ticket? - demonstrates Jockey's unmistakable style with playful colours in new look briefs and trunks, pyjamas and loungewear and accessories, available at Debenhams, UK and through the official site.

The Crimson Tide has a four-shot lead over Arkansas (E, 288) after the team's lowest round of the year. Arizona State is six-shots back at 2-over-par 290 with Florida (+5, 293) and Denver (+6, 294) rounding out the top five.
"It was a solid round today, but it wasn't spectacular until the end," Alabama head coach Mic Potter said. "We hung in there and hit some good shots and finally got things going a little on the back side at No. 14, playing it 3-under. This is a good golf course for us, and we managed the course really well for the first time this year."
The Tide was led by senior Jennifer Kirby and junior Stephanie Meadow, who are both tied for second place after shooting 3-under-par 69s.
Meadow played the front side in even par, but began making birdies on the back nine. She made birdie on the 10th, 11th and 15th holes. Kirby was 1-under on the front side with a birdie on the first and eight straight pars to follow. She made bogey on No. 10 but finished with an eagle-3 on the 14th and a birdie on the closing 18th hole.
Freshman Emma Talley is just outside of the top 10 after 18 holes of play. She shot even-par 72 and is tied for 11th place. Johanna Tillström is tied for 27th after shooting 2-over 74 to count toward the Alabama team score. Hannah Collier's 76 was dropped from the Tide's team total.
The Crimson Tide will tee off Monday at 9:45 a.m. for the second round. Alabama will be paired with Arkansas and Arizona State at the University of Texas Golf Club.

I feel out of control by the sea. It microscopes us all into small, insignificant figures. Oddly, though, after a day in the company of its incessant motion and constant beauty, control is rarely at the forefront of my mind. The iron grasp of ego and intellect starts to loosen in favour of a softer involvement with the world; one where I am happy to just see, simply to be there, to remain open to what might arise, be it spectacular or mundane.
My lensless boxes give me photographs in this same freeing way: removing preconceptions, wild in their dazzling perspective, undogmatic in their easy melding of sharp realities and smooth overlays. Any attempt to over-control them hides the wonder of their discovery and the scope they have to throw up strange and unimagined images. In practice these primitive cameras need very little input from the photographer. I carry them to the beach, stand them up and feed them paper and film. The rest is mostly out of my hands.
During the long exposures necessary with a tiny aperture and the slow, insensitive negative materials I employ, I like simply to stand back from - sometimes walk into - the landscape's canvas and imagine what is before me but which I am unable to see without this hand-made box: this device which given time renders all views, both near and far, infinite.
