Photos: Cakebread Cellars Holiday cookie cooking class
As mentioned this past Thursday, we spent the better part of Saturday at Cakebread Cellars in Rutherford attending the winery's Holiday cookie cooking class (say that three times fast).
We had an absolute blast making (and tasting) seven different types of cookies–everything from your basic sugar cookies to fig and date pinwheels and chocolate macaroons (yum!). The wine was also flowing, of course, and we tasted the 2007 Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc (our favorite of the day), the 2007 Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay and the 2005 Cakebread Cellars Zinfandel.
We'll have more details (and a few recipes) to share shortly, but in the meantime, here's a quick slideshow from the event:

Her fame grew, and so did her sultry image. When Shields was still a teenager, she was besieged by international suitors (reportedly, the son of Saudi billionaire Adnan Khashoggi sent her a diamond necklace and a nephew of Jordan's King Hussein dispatched a diamond and sapphire ring). She also became a lightning rod for the issue of teenage sexuality. Conversely, in real life she was "kept so naïve," she says. "My mom was probably so afraid it would change me. My brain was doing one thing, my body another, and I really became paralyzed by it. It was awkward, sexually, because I felt cut off from the neck down." (Indeed, while she was attending Princeton, she wrote an advice book about college life called On Your Own, which included a section titled "What My Virginity Means to Me.")
While others lavished time and attention on her looks, she felt "complete detachment," she says, as we take a seat in the museum's café for tea and gingersnaps. She recalls being in a jazz dance class and falling whenever she tried to turn. The teacher chided her that she never watched herself in the mirror. "She said 'Look at yourself,' and I didn't want to. What if I didn't like what I saw? What if I didn't look like I did in magazines?"
It took her first pregnancy to make her finally want to face the mirror. "It seemed important to me all of a sudden," she says. "It was life, and my body had this purpose so far beyond just being there to look at, or tan or shave. Suddenly I realized how good it had been to me over the years, and what it had sustained." She shakes her head ruefully. "And I was in my thirties at the time."
"I wish I had the face I had a decade ago, but I don't"
Now she tries to celebrate her body as it is. "I'm more proud of my longevity than anything else," she says. "There's a lot to be said for endurance. I'm trying to find the beauty in the whole picture rather than the crow's- feet." She laughs. "Sure, I wish I had the face I had a decade ago, but I don't. People say, 'I love my wrinkles.' " She rolls her eyes. "I don't love my wrinkles—come on! But when you see certain women that we knew when they were younger, like Anjelica Huston and Isabella Rossellini, and they've grown older in the public eye, what you're responding to is their whole life imprinted on them."
Ironically, although she too has grown older in the public eye, she is just now realizing that fact when it comes to her career. "For years, I've been the youngest person on the set, and it occurred to me recently that I wasn't 26!" She throws back her head and laughs. "I'd read a script and say, 'Oh, that's a great character, that's something I'd love to do.' And they'd say, 'Um, no, we're thinking of you for the mother.' And then I'd say, 'Oh, of course! Of course! I knew that.' "
She feels as if she's in a "middle place" in Hollywood at the moment. "There aren't a lot of movies out there for my age," she says with a sigh. "They're still stopping at the mid-thirties. Then you're Diane Keaton or Glenn Close." She has noticed that this forty-something limbo extends to advertising as well. "I always find it funny that so much skin cream advertising features, like, Jessica Alba," she carps. "She's gorgeous, and 12! OK? They're all that age! I don't care how much La Mer I put on my skin, I'm not going to have Jessica Alba's face! And then it goes from that to 'age defying.' And you're kind of like, what happened to the middle here? You're nubile or you're age defying!" For the record, she favors La Mer and "the one made by the monks, from Fresh" (Crème Ancienne), but she says that no cream is going to work miracles if she's sleep-deprived or on too many airplanes in a row.

Jordan Lester lay motionless on a hospital bed Saturday afternoon as a nurse attached cords to his chest. A doctor stood by, examining a screen that showed Jordan's heart.
After a few beats, Dr. Michael Subocz looked up. "It looks good, man," he said.
His parents joked that the doctor's response meant Jordan was OK to rake the lawn.
"That's why we're really here, huh?" Subocz quipped.
Subocz and other cardiologists were on hand at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center all day Saturday to perform heart screenings on about 320 teens as part of the Young Champions Clinic. Most of the young people who came were like Jordan, active in sports, and whose parents signed them up for the screenings simply as a precaution.
"Our concern is the sudden death," said Jordan's father, Mike Lester, of Hockinson. "He plays a lot of sports, and asthma runs in the family."
Fortunately, Jordan's screening showed that his heart was healthy. In the afternoon, Dr. Subocz said he had not yet encountered any teens with a heart problem.
The screenings were intended to detect symptoms that can lead to sudden cardiac death, such hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, QT syndrome and other electrical instabilities, said Scott Driscoll, president of the Quinn Driscoll Foundation, which put on the clinic.
"The screening is really a triage. It's not a diagnosis," Driscoll said. "It's a discovery of possible issues. They will make a referral to a physician."
Driscoll's foundation, named for his son who died in June 2009 of sudden cardiac arrest, also works with PeaceHealth to offer weekday screenings for $50. Saturday's event asked for only a $25 donation. Both are significantly less than the usual thousand-dollar cost of a heart screening. The donations go toward the foundation and help purchase of AEDs, automated external defibrillators, for local schools.
Driscoll said the publicity around several recent metro-area deaths from sudden cardiac arrest including the death of La Center teen Cody Sherrill, who collapsed in January at a school basketball practice prompted a number of parents to sign their kids up for screenings. The large number meant not all of them could be seen Saturday; Driscoll said there's a waiting list that contains hundreds of names.
"Parents are wanting to protect their kids" after hearing about Sherrill's death, Driscoll said.
The 14-year-old's death was still fresh at the clinic, apparent in the signs posted throughout the lobby of the hospital that read: "We are proud to honor the memory of Cody Sherrill. Aug. 28, 1997 – Jan. 9, 2012."
Several La Center teens came to the clinic mainly because of the shock of Cody's death. Jonah Rodewald was one. He lives in La Center, but is a freshman at Hockinson High School. His dad, Doug Rodewald, said that while the family didn't personally know Cody, his tragic death was a reminder to be alert for health issues.
"The problems with the heart are often overlooked," he said. "This is kind of a way to cover our bases."
Melissa Henry, an Evergreen High School sophomore who volunteered at the clinic, said she's seen the benefits of the heart screenings. She said two of her classmates were found in previous screenings to have heart problems.
"We had a couple people from our school who have gotten saved" through the screenings, she said. "It's great to try and prevent these things."

Following the initiation and development of individual leaf primordia at the level of the shoot apical meristem
Background and Aims: By using the technique of replicas of a developing apex it is possible to obtain a direct measure of phyllotactic parameters (plastochrone and platochronic ratio) involved in the initiation of two successive primordia at the level of the SAM. The goal of this study is to compare...

Toronto, Canada is a place that opens many doors of opportunity for job seekers. More often than not, it is very important for one to have a 'helper' to provide guidance during one's search for employment. Companies tend to hire 'head hunters' to help make the perfect match in candidacy. Similarly, job seekers hire the latter; to ensure that their job search process remains on the right track!
Becoming a 'head hunter' or a 'job hunter' involves having the ability to see the world through the eyes of one who is unemployed. The 'head hunter' should have patience and compassion for every situation - considering all economical factors and family obligations that one must fulfill. The urgency of finding work is just as important as buying groceries to feed the members of one's household.
A 'head hunter' position involves having a knack for researching; using this vital skill to assess the client's needs and being able to find the perfect candidate required.
This type of position is offered at employment agencies, corporate head offices, community service organizations and privatized business enterprises.
The recruitment process is consistent, according to the demands of the job that must be filled.
According to a statistical study by MyPursuit.com, it has been quoted that: 'In 2007, the salary range for headhunters was from $27,000 - $85,000+.
Many headhunters work on commission, so their salary depends on how many prospective employees they are able to match up with employers.'
Although having a certificate or a diploma is not mandatory, it would be quite helpful to study courses such as: Human Resources Management, Labor Relations, Business Administration and Employment Communications.

The New Jersey running community this week lost a true professional. Fred Torres could be seen over many years at many events all over New Jersey in his capacity of timing road races large and small. His company Elite Racing Systems which he started, timed the Spring Lake 5, Belmar 5 as well as many other events in the area.
Fred was the consummate professional. He was always there well before the start of the race making sure the timing system was in place and ready to go. Always there until the last runner crossed the finish line and results were tabulated and provided to the event organizers to be used in awards.
Fred was always improving his scoring capability and providing first class service to his customers. He was one of the first to introduce "chip timing" to races in New Jersey. He was at 6th Annual ChronoTrack Timers Conference in San Antonio this past week to learn more on how to improve. While at the conference he did have time to go out for a run and that is when he collapsed and his own personal timing clock ran out way much too soon.
I personally remember Fred starting from his timing of the Jersey Shore Relay Marathon many years ago. I had spoken to Fred prior to his going to the conference and he was going to look into enhanced methods of scoring for the event. Whenever someone crosses a finish line in that relay I will be thinking of Fred.
I searched for a photo of Fred at a race as I have literally thousands of finish photos from many events over the years. It was difficult. Fred was always busy behind the scenes making sure everything was just perfect. He never got in the way and you would never know he was there. He just did his job. Even when there were some minor glitches he kept his cool and got the results to us.
Fred was one of the "good guys" and will be missed by the entire running community but most of all by his wife Anna and the rest of his family who were at many of the races helping and timing as needed.
There will be a viewing and services this Saturday, January 25, 2014 from 2 to 6 p.m with a service at 4 p.m. at Bizub-Quinlan Funeral Home 1313 Van Houten Avenue Clifton, N.J. More details and directions.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that memorial contributions may be made to Clifton High School Track Booster Club and send to P.O. Box 635, 495 Allwood Road Clifton, N.J. 07012.

The aim of this study was to provide an increased level of evidence on surgical management of high-tension electrical injuries compared with thermal burns using a case-controlled study design. Sixty-eight patients (64 males, 4 females, aged 33.7 +/- 13 years) with high-tension electrical burns were matched for age, gender, and burnt extent with a cohort of patients sustaining thermal burns. Data were analyzed for cause of accident (occupational vs nonoccupational), concomitant injuries, extent of burn and burn depth, surgical management, complications, and hospital stay. High-tension electrical burn patients required an average of 5.2 +/- 4 operations (range, 1-23 operations) compared with 3.3 +/- 1.9 (range, 1-10 operations) after thermal burns (P = .0019). Amputation rates (19.7% vs 1.5%), escharotomy/fasciotomy rates (47% vs 21%), and total hospitalization days (44 d vs 32 d) were significantly higher in high-tension electrical injuries (P < .05). Creatinine kinase levels were significantly elevated during the first 2 days in patients with subsequent amputations. Free flap failure was observed during the first 4 weeks after the trauma, whereas no flap failure occurred at later stages. Local, pedicled, and distant flaps were used in 15% of the patients. The mortality in both groups was 13.2% vs 11%, respectively (nonsignificant). High-voltage electrical injury remains a complex surgical challenge. When performing free flap coverage, caution must be taken for a vulnerable phase lasting up to 4 weeks after the trauma. This phase is likely the result of a progressive intima lesion, potentially hazardous to microvascular reconstruction. The use of pedicle flaps may resemble an alternative to free flaps during this period.

The Rifffs launch Moonstomp!
It all started some weeks ago. First time I heard about the launch party I couldn't believe. One of the best bands from Malta finally gets their first album out. It tooks just 20 years, but it was worth waiting. If you want know the story of The RIFFFS visit their myspace site. Anyway I heard from the launch gig but I didn't know the date, so I checked The RIFFFS website every couple of days. And one day I saw it, the gig was on the 9th february ..... a monday. I was surprised but found soon out it was on an eve of a public holiday. Immedatily I contacted all my friends, but most of them already knew and were as excited as I. I have to admit, that I bought my ticket (really cheap for 6.-) in advance just to be sure to get in.
The next weeks I imagned how wonderful it would be. The RIFFFS live on stage and finally the first CD in my hands. So I made sure that I had this monday and tuesday off. For the short journey from Sliema to Rabat we took the bus. Right I came with a colleague and friend (Thomas), we are both fans of The RIFFFS, specially after their performance at the Beerfest 2008. Like almost every time we were much to early at the club. But this time we had a good excuse, actually we had two, 1st we could drink some beer to start the evening and 2nd we didn't know where excatly find the TNT (The New Tattingers) in Rabat. First I said Hello to some friends and then we sat in a bar for some drinks or better beers. Around 10 pm we moved to the TNT and it was already packed with people. It was a mixed crowd and it looked like everyone couldn't wait for the performance. In the meantime the DJ palyed some nice songs. I'm not really sure but I think there were some from The Clash, The Specials and Desmond Dekker and other stuff. I think everyone liked it. The TNT has also some screens on the wall and there you could see the some old pictures from The RIFFFS.
Anyway the TNT got more and more packed, but Thomas and me managed to say Hello to Ray and Rayvin. Some beers more and suddenly The RIFFFS were on stage and the crowd started to dance from the first second. And I couldn't stand still as well. I actually couldn't believe how many people in Malta exist who like really good live music. I was on many live gigs in Malta before where not a quarter of this crowd turned up. Anyway The RIFFFS did not a good job, they did a perfect job. They played all their fucking awesome songs. My personal favourite is 'Monday Morning'. The crowd did never stop dancing and we all had really much fun. Then suddenly some security guys were standing in front of the stage, I really don't know why they were standing there, but at this point I didn't care. I was just excited and I skanked around and without offence I bumped just a little bit in one of the security guys. He grabed me and tried to pull me from the crowd. He didn't understood that things like this ahppen when you skank. Fortunately some friend were their and could stop that security guy. I was a little bit angry but just took a beer, didn't dance for a minute and decided to took some pictures from The RIFFFS. But just 3 minutes later I was skanking again.
The crowd dance till the end of gig and we got The RIFFFS back on stage for some more awesome Ska from Malta. It all ended tuesday morning with a happy crowd and band. It was a wonderful night full of fantastic ska. Thanks to everyone who made it happen, firstatall to The RIFFFS (you were amazing), everyone who helped with the CD, everyone who bought a ticket, everyone who skanked and a little thanks to the club (but the security should think before they act and the beer was quite expensive). I want more gigs like this.
After the gig I bought the CD and a T-shirt. Thomas found us an ride home to Sliema. Thanks again to Karen who drove two drunken germans to Sliema. It shows that facebook is sometimes really good, because Karen and I knew each other from FB. We took a last drink at Snoopys and then walked the last metres home. I had still a smile in my face when I fall in my bed, because the night was even better then I expected.
Come on The RIFFFS do it again
. I'm listening to their CD almost every day for the last 14 days ... I like it. Some friends said The RIFFFS got very comercial, but as long they do so fucking awesome Ska I will listen to them and going to their gigs.

Pupi tal-Loghob @ Playrock Review!
On Sunday people gathered at Play Rock to chill out with some funny tunes from Pupi tal-Loghob. As popularly predicted, they were dressed up in Father Christmas costumes.
They played an extensive playlist exceeding twenty songs, incorporating not only Christmas songs such as White Christmas and Rudolf, but also many (maybe all?) of their original tunes. Indeed they did present their older tunes from the past such as Hagi SAK and Tat-tieg which some of us are usually eager to listen to. In addition, their presentation of the relatively new songs such as Normann Lowell reflects a more elaborated, mature musical style, diverging to target not only the punk scene, but also other people.
This event was the third one making part of their Christmas tour. There is one event remainining which will take place at Rookies on the 27th December. Especially if you were not there last Sunday, I would recommend you do not miss the Pupi tal-Milied 2008!

Subcultfest Day 3
Sunday 7th December 2008
Early morning i tried to wake up to start thinking ahead of what shall happen in the third and final day of SUBKULTFEST 08. It was going to be a challenge to gather a wide variety of bands in one night....but we managed.So here it goes.
First band hit the stage at 10.15pm .FOR STRINGS INN surprised me a lot. It was like a mystery to me cos i knew nothing about them exept that three of the four members where in punk bands some years ago.So i thought that their music was going to be in that music style..It wasn't as i expected.It was really better.SIMPLY GREAT MUSIC BY GREAT MUSICIANS.there was a mixture of music styles played with energy and melody that really had the crowd going.
The second band of the night was PUPI TAL LOGHOB.Their humorous punk style was also not expected by the crowd of the night because only a few punks turned on that day so many poeple just saw them for the first time.Keep the good work going mates and good luck for next year.
KARTRIDGE were the 3rd band of the night.One could notice the experience these musicians have.They played a blend of classic rock to modern rock style.I knew Darryl the front man from the 80's and im really glad that he kept going on year after year with different bands a nd music styles.
So next came the two bands that poeple where very anxious to see.So let's start with me mates LORD ADDER.This band started around 14 years ago and their peak time was in the 90's.They cahanged some lineups and music styles.So this was their first appearance in a small club like they used to do in Rock Cafe.In a 30 minute set they managed to change the atmosphere of the gig with poeple chanting to the chorus of Ac/Dc's thunder and a couple of other tunes.The three guitar players tatict payed really well cos when Mark( zlayer) and Al (crusher) broke the strings the band continued the songs without interfierance.
Last band of the festival was LITHOMANCY, the death metal band that gives you shivers with Micheal's vocal style and Rex distorted bass sound.A mass of energy with some atmosnbpheric doom passages.They had the responsability to end SUBKULTFEST 08 in a grand final,and they managed to do so 100 %.
So..SUBKULTFEST 08 ,came and went like all the other festivals, but this time it was different.The bands contributed to an animal rights/awareness cause.Some fools in our blant society always put a stigma on poeple who are different.The underground music scene is different so of course we suffer that stigma every now and then. But SUBKULTFEST showed that we also have a heart and no matter what differences we have between our music styles,we united to raise money to help SUBCULTURE ANIMAL FRIENDS,go on with the project of educating young kids on how to treat animals.i'd like to mention all those who contributed to this total sucssess of the festival.
all the bands that participated and contributed from their time and talent to our cause..
Thanks to all those who came to show their support and gave donations.
Thanks to many band members and individuals that fowarded our flyers and made promotion for subkultfest.
Thanks Reciprocal Records for the space and help you gave us.
STEVE LOMBARDO...A friend forever.Thanks mate for your dedication,support and unconditional friendship.Thanks steve i rally mean it.
The barmen and barmaids of COCONUT GROVE and REMEDY ROCK CLUB.And of course our co-organizers of the subkultfest 08,EVE (the managress) and ALEX (the owner) thanks both of you from the heart.You were always there for us when we needed you.Thanks LOADS.
Very special thanks have to go to my dearest friends in Subculture Animal Friends Carmen and Ray micallef for their 100% commitment in the animal rights activisim,unconditional friendship,and understanding but mostly for always being there to me. thanks a million.Last but not least there are also many poeple that are helping us in different ways,both phisically and economically to make this project come true.
SUBKULTFEST 09.....I ''ll tell you later on. o:)
Subcultfest Day 2
Saturday 6th December 2008
I really looked forward to Saturday, because it was actually the punk part of the Subcultfest. Don't get me wrong I had already a fucking good time on Friday. I was actually really glad so many people showed up on friday. I never thought so many Maltese are interested in good music. Ok on Saturday there were not so many fans at Remedy, but still enough to have a good party. Hopefully next time/year there will be more people on the punk day of the Festival.
On Friday I heard that Organized Dizorder will kick off Saturday at 10 pm, so I finished early at work, grabbed two colleagues and we headed to Paceville. Like I said I was a little disappointed, that today the crowd was smaller. But who gives a shit, this is punkrock.
The first band was actually Shattered Pride, that means like you already guessed I didn't miss Organized Dizorder. Shattered Pride is not really my kind of music and I think it is impossible to dance to it. It is not really party music, I think Emotronic (like they self describe it) is more for a listen at home. To be honest, I never heard something like this before, so it is quite difficult to describe. The best is you listen to them on myspace. Like I already said this music is more like sit on a chair drink some alcohol and listen to it music, then stand in front of the stage and dance. Anyway after I had said welcome to everyone, including Patti from Cut my skin, Shattered Pride had finished their set.
And now entered Organized Dizorder and started their set like I expected with HC-Punk, how I like it. Ryan, Matthew, Carl and Wayne did once again a fucking good job on stage. The crowd in front of the stage got a little bit bigger, it seems like they already got a few fans .... not just me. Unbelieveable how this guys can rock or better punk the house. And they get better from gig to gig. There was just one thing: Remedy is still a little to big or better the crowd was to small. I hope some more gigs from the 4 guys and the will fill the Remedy with hundred people and ...... may I dream just once. Anyway once again they showed raw HC-Punk and everytime when I'm angry I wish I had a CD with their songs for my player. Guys I hope I will see more shows of your Punk.
Organized Dizorder finished their set and thought I had some minutes to chill, but Publik Waste entered the stage. So there was just enough time to grab a beer or was it a wishkey-coke and go back to the stage. Everything started like I expected: melodic Punk with power, I fucking like it. Probably nobody saw it, but I was smiling again. The crowd was quite excited, like me. It is unbelievable, that a small island like Malta can create band s like Publik Waste and Organized Dizorder. Anyway Publik Waste got the crowd dancing, do the pogo ....yeah, yeah. They played their hits and I wished they never stopped, but unfortunately every good thing comes to an end.
Calm down guys I was not crying, because there were still two bands in the pipeline.
Next one on the stage was Subculture. This band creates mixed feelings .... maybe just for me, but I can't change it. I like them, but I think Ramona's voice lacks a little bit of power. Don't get me wrong it is not bad and I still listen to their songs and go to their gigs, but I liked it more when the guys were singing. It had more power, more rawness. It was more like a punch in the face. Sometimes it seems Ramona's voice is too gentle, she should sing louder. But anyway Subculture has a lot of fans and I can still understand it. Maybe I just used to the voices of the guys from the old Subculture. Back to the show from Subculture, they was again good and the crowd liked it.
Last but not the least BNI was playing. I met Kinnie before and something was wrong with his thumb. He didn't want to tell me what happened, so I'll take a guess: too much thumb sucking. Anyway Kinnie just got drunk and so he could play his guitar. Unbelievable how Kinnie is drunk and BNI does still an awesome show. That means either we have to fill him up at every gig or Steve and Malcolm did such a good gig that nobody noticed the drunkiness of Kinnie. Before someone complains that I write nothing about their set .. what the fuck should I write, I love this band, they're awesome and I never attend a really bad gig of BNI. This time it was so good. The crowd was not this big, because it was quite late, but we all were excited. And when the do the J. Cash cover nobody can just stand around you have to move your feet. Like others I sang along with the band ..... good that they are louder then me, nobody wants to listen to my voice, not even myself. The set of BNI was the perfect ending for awesome Punk day at the Subcultfest.
For my colleagues, BNI was the best band this night, for me it was close between BNI and Organized Dizorder.
Thanks to Subculture animal friends for putting up this event, hope you collected a lot of donations. Thanks to all bands, hope I see you all soon on stage again.
Subcultfest Day 1
Friday 5th December 2008
I decided to go out on the last minute. I had a very long, hard day at work on a Friday and I was feeling exhausted. But since it's so rare for me to get a weekend of work, I decided I shouldn't miss this opportunity, and headed towards Coconut Grove, Paceville to see what this SUBCULTFEST ? a 3 day festival stretching from the 5th to the 7th of December 2008 - is all about.
To begin with, I was surprised with the amount of people that turned out on the first day. I guess it goes on to show that people still do wanna see live bands. Or maybe because it was a free entrance gig? HAHA! Apparently this Subcultfest was organised by Subculture Animal Friends and Coconut/Remedy management to raise up funds for an educational project on animal rights awareness to be started in primary schools around Malta and Gozo. HHHmmmmmm,umbs up for the cool initiative guyz.
I managed to catch a glimpse of the first band THE MYTH who gave us a couple of good acoustic songs. Unfortunately I was too busy outside in the balcony, warming up with some Jack and playing some stupid jokes with my friends to really appreciate these guys, but I guess THE MYTH gave a good show. At least that was my impression from the cheers from the crowd I could here from outside after they finished every song.
Next on was CABLE 35. What can I say about these guys? They started playing simple pop-punk melodies a couple of years ago, but have evolved really fast after that. I really like that about a band. What's the point of playing the same stuff over and over again? You can see that these guys are really taking their music seriously, the way they play their instruments with a passion. It seems like now they sound more like The Vines than Blink 182. I was also happy to see some more interest shown from the more ?traditional punks? towards this band. Punk is not just about mohicans, saftey pins and torn jeans, you know? (ok, ok, that's just my opinion). CABLE35, keep it up guys! 10 points!
Off to buy a round of more Jacks, and back to drawing board to watch new band CYNIC PICTURES. Wow, I had been waiting to catch this band live for ages! I had listened to their two tracks on their myspace, and immediately liked their stlye. Fast riffing and beats, and a very particular vocal delivery, these guys had reminded me of the days when I listened to more American punk ala NOFX, the Descendents etc etc. Being a relatively young band as regards to playing live, they naturally lacked the experience of handling the stage during their set, and at some points seemed a little bit off, but that is something that can be improved upon by time. Apart from that, they sounded great on most of the songs. I really liked their track called HIT THE LANDLORD. Maybe because it reminded me of my bastard landlord when I was living in London...haha. Good job guys. Keep it going, some more practice, some more stage experience and you'll definitely be on the right track.
Next on was AREOLA TREAT. Fuck man, this band definetely stole the show. I was talking to Antoine from Particle Blue/Shattered Pride before the show, and he was telling me how he thinks that their guitar sound is just amazing, and fuck is he right? Fuckin right he is! Lisa looked amazing from the down the stage as she hurled scream after scream towards the crowd. I particularly liked their last song they played that apparently is a new one (?), but I coulnd't get hold of the name (I reckon it was something like Halfway Nurse?) The band just went mental as huge walls of sound came towards us and blasted our ear drums. My jaw just dropped to the floor. In fact, They kept me busy for a couple of minutes looking for my jaw all over the place after they finished. I never found it. 11 out of 10 guys!
The last band to close off this great night was X-VANDALS. Ok, let me put forward my biases first. I am not a very big fan of metal, and never really was, although of course I had to go through the Iron Maiden/Metallica phase when I was much younger. But man, X-VANDALS really took me by surprise. What they play is not really heavy metal, but to me they sounded more like a mixture of trash/hardcore, punk and metal. Rusty is one GREAT frontman who didn't leave one inch of space on the stage untouched! And Ray il-Bahri, man, what can I say about this living legend? He fucking grinds that axe like he's still 19 and on speed. Apparently they played a couple of some classic trash covers, and ended with a rendition of Motorhead's Ace of spades which managed to get rockers headbanging and punks pogoing together. I'm gonna look forward towards their next show for sure...
Fuck man, what a night! Now I HAVE to go to the second day of Subcultfest.

Cynic Pictures and Organized Dizorder Gig Review
Many of us found ourselves at Rookies this Friday night, with the usual gang and rivers of beer, to take our best from the Punk night thanks to the energy of Cynic Pictures and the anger of Organized Disorder. Two bands different from each other as regards to style and attitude.
To open the gig, to our surprise a new band of young faces who seem to have formed up some weeks ago and eventually wanted to prove themselves took to the stage! They played some good covers from Bad Religion and also some original pieces. Congratz guys keep playing and we hope to see you again on stage!
For the first time (with great anticipation?) we caught Cynic Pictures on stage, an upcoming and very promising band. They surprised us for the energy they had on stage and also the particular sound influenced mainly from the Californian punk rock, yet expressed with a melodic hardcore style, fast and decisive.
It was then Organized Disorder to close the gig and a great night out. A band who once again have showed us proof that identity and attitude are not only accessory elements but the same essence of their music. A raw street punk sound full of anger with good thought out lyrics. Impossible not to pogo!
Keep it up each and every one of you!
Ok..Ok so me and Simo arrived late, in fact exactly at the end of the bombscare. We met some friends outside who told us that the set was already half way through and I could not believe that I misunderstood the starting time of the event as I was so much in contact with Mario the days before.
As a start some police cars were all about and we just could not understand what the hell was going on. At the first glance, we saw just a tenfold of people outside the venue from the street. As soon as we took a turn to the parking area the crowd of people outside just left me aghast, there were around 350 people greatly anticipating something?
The bombscare had just come to an end and the crowd starting trickling again into the well adorned and coloured venue, with a cool old school stage resembling the traditional Maltese ?festa? style. Not even time to get hold of a couple of beers that the now mighty Brikkuni gave a new start to their set.
We had already heard the CD but the live performance was just ship-shape perfect and astounding. The sound was clear as crystal, Mario?s voice could be heard when speaking softly, and when screaming loud all the various instruments blended into the powerful folk-punk based rythyms that these Brikkuni have created.
We were fortunate enough to hear nearly all tracks as encores were performed. With a crowd like that if you say ?no? you?re in trouble! The set was energetic with clear acoustics and well panned melodies on vocals, impressive additional instruments and the climaxes on choruses so potent in such an original way. Truly, a breath of fresh air!
We remember Brikkuni jamming in the Marsa garages some time ago and I never thought that they had come to being so magnificently serious about their musicianship. We are glad to have worked with the band for the production and printing of the CD and packaging and I have to say we put our heart into it as if it were an RR release. (in fact, now that we listened to these guys, we now regret we didn?t have it on RR!).
We can see Brikkuni as an already established band even with the few live gigs they have performed, and foresee a fresh load of great live performances to promote the Album ?Kuntra Banda?. I just can?t wait! This time I?ll be there on time!
A loud and long standing ovation and applause goes to Brikkuni and all the long list of members for this record and yesterday?s performance. This is just what we needed, fresh new music with a down to earth attitude!
If you are interested in getting hold of a copy of ?Kuntra Banda? kindly send us an email and we?ll fix you a delivery!
Prosit Brikkuni! (and thanks to Sarah Falzon for providing us with the photos of the event!)
PS: Il-Bombscare, Ic-Centurjun ghamila!
Brikkuni's ?Kuntrabanda!? was launched @ Liquid, San Gwann ? 16th November 2008. Check out some of their songs on their myspace
Malta Punk/Ska scene update!
We are more than happy to see new faces at gigs, and kids forming their own bands. Lately Organized Dizorder are on the forefront of the up and coming punk bands, and we also saw Public Waste giving us a couple of good shows. The past summer we also saw Xtruppaw coming out of their long hibernation, teaming up with The I Skandal (after another long pause?.zzzzz), to give us another memorable show at Poxx Bar.
We saw Subculture coming out clean with a new line-up and a killer record entitled ?Revolt?. The guys have a message they want to put across, and they surely did it in a very powerful way this time around. Batteries Not Included, as always, kept us busy downing beers all year long, with their countless energy-fuelled gigs. These guys never tire. We were over the moon to learn that they were playing in the UK alongside great foreign punk bands over the past year. 2008 also saw the release of ?Just Rock? from indie-poppers Nosnow/noalps, fusing their tunes with skanking sounds. If you haven?t listened to any of their stuff on the radio yet, make sure you do, or better buy their record, because it blew us away!
See ya in the pit!
Welcome to our new website!
?Yes! Many have thought that Reciprocal Records was out for good but as you can see, it is not so! We took a long break for many reasons. After so much hard work in previous years as a record label and event organizer we just needed some time off as we grew conscious that more steady decisions had to be taken.
In the last couple of years we set our eyes upon the specialization for CD production for bands and artists who are not necessarily signed to our label. Due to our experience in production as well as the printing industry we thought of expanding our possibilities. The result was the creation of offshoot company Reciprocal Records Services. Reciprocal Records Services is now already an established provider of an almost unlimited number of solutions in CD/DVD Replication, Packaging and Printing. A separate website for Reciprocal Records Services is in the making so stay tuned.
As for this website, you will notice that this time we took a very conscious decision to keep the RR website dedicated to the Punk/Ska scene in Malta. Kindly register to become a member of the RR mailing list and receive gig information, new releases info and more. In the near future we are planning to offer online CD sales of all our releases for local and overseas distribution.
In the meantime, enjoy!

Tampa Plastic Surgery
Tampa Plastic Surgeon Dr. Soler believes that excellence in plastic surgery is a combination of technical expertise, creativity and individuality. His approach to patient care is uniquely personal and his philosophy is simple...always listen to the patient. Dr. Soler notes that 'far too often the surgical result is the surgeon's vision, not the patient's goal.' During the consultation, patients are encouraged to participate in the development of their treatment plan and to ask the inquisitive questions that they often feel uncomfortable asking their surgeon. Patient expectations are always addressed and treatment options are tailored to the individual's goals.

On this page:
Under the Australian Consumer Law, consumers who suffer loss or damage because of safety defects in a manufacturer's goods when supplied in trade or commerce can:
A product has a safety defect if its safety is not what the community is generally entitled to expect. While the level of safety will vary from case to case, it is ultimately for the court to determine whether a product has a safety defect. There are various factors the court will take into account when making its determination, including:
A good will not necessarily be considered to be safe just because it complied with a Commonwealth mandatory standard.
Expected levels of safety differ for older products because they cannot be expected to be as safe as brand new products. Similarly, older models of products would not necessarily be considered defective simply because more recent models have improved safety features.
A retailer can also be a manufacturer of the product and therefore liable.
A consumer can seek compensation from a manufacturer who has supplied goods with safety defects, if the goods caused loss or damage.
If a person takes a manufacturer to court and wins, the court decides how much compensation is due.
The Australian Consumer Law allows anyone to claim for personal injury or damage to private property (including land or buildings) resulting from a safety defect in the product.
Dependants of a person injured or killed by a safety defect in goods can also claim for the losses they suffer as a result.
Damage to commercial property is not covered; nor is any loss arising from a business relationship, such as loss of profits.
The Act also excludes losses for claims made for workers' compensation and losses regulated by international agreements.
You have three years to bring an action from the time you become aware (or ought reasonably to have become aware) of the loss, the defect and the identity of the manufacturer.
Additionally, any action must commence within 10 years of the time the manufacturer supplied the goods with safety defects.
Several statutory defences are provided to a manufacturer against a product liability action. The defences are available when:
It's important to also note that when the actions or omissions of an injured person contribute to the loss, the court can reduce the amount of compensation payable to the appropriate extent.
Minimising the risk of action under the product liability provisions generally requires no more of manufacturers, importers and retailers than responsible business practice.
A culture of safety is an important attribute of any responsible organisation and should include being aware of what happens when the business's product is in the hands of the consumer.
A business's quality assurance system, design, production, record keeping and marketing procedures as well as customer information material can promote the safety of its products with consumers.
While the Australian Consumer Law provides consumers with rights to take action through the legal system themselves, the ACCC may sometimes take representative action on behalf of one or more consumers who have suffered harm from a product with a safety defect. This is intended to improve access to the law and to allow the ACCC to act when goods have caused, or may cause, widespread detriment.
The ACCC has an important role in informing businesses and consumers about all aspects of the Australian Consumer Law, including their rights and obligations under the product liability provisions.
Australia's product liability laws are a mixture of common law and federal and state legislation. In addition to the product liability provisions in the Australian Consumer Law, people who have been injured or otherwise sustained loss or damage may take action under the common law tort of negligence.

There's New York Fashion Week, L.A. Fashion Week, Miami Fashion Week. Portland Fashion Week and even Charleston Fashion Week, but Atlanta, with at least four fashion degree programs, America's Mart, and a reputation for exclusive parties, lavish lifestyles and women who don high heels at high noon; until recently went without its own presentation of stylish shows. Angela Watts, President of 10 Squared PR and Katie Kern, Marketing and PR Director at Media Frenzy Global, formed a collective of fashion designers who are determined to put Atlanta fashion on the map.
"The original ideas was Angela's," Kern explains. "She always wanted a fashion week in Atlanta, but didnt want to call it fashion week."
Watts was searching for a name reflecting her vision of a show that attracted the fashionable crowd, but also the appropriate buyers, publicist and journalists. She came up with the word Ragtrade, or the business of fashion. In 2013, Watts met up with Kern, who was on the founding committee of the successful Charleston Fashion Week. They combined their knowledge of the fashion industry and PR mastery to launch an ambitious project highlighting talented fashion designers based in Atlanta. Looking to New York Fashion Week and Charleston Fashion Week as business models, Watts went about campaigning on behalf of Ragtrade Atlanta.
"When Bill de Blasio talks about fashion, Mayor Reed should be talking about something too," Watts explains. "The music industry in Atlanta is great, and so is tv and film, but we wear clothes everyday. We have a great retail scene, but fashion is much more than that."
Though the first of it's kind in Atlanta, the duo aims to make Ragtrade the official Atlanta Fashion Week. The event has the support of the City of Atlanta, a first despite past attempts at launching major fashion events. W Atlanta-Buckhead is hosting the round of shows which includes looks from Milo Beloved, 2014 Birmingham Fashion Week Emerging Designer; Edmond Newton, of NBC's Fashion Star; Larika Page, a Charleston Fashion Week winner; Natt Taylor who presented at Harlem Fashion Row and Anna Toth, 2014 Charleston Fashion Week winner. Bauder College's Senior class is also showing at the debut. Watts and Kern held auditions for designers, hair stylists and make-up artists to enlist the individuals needed to produce a high-quality show. Ragtrade Atlanta is partnered with Bauder College, AIU, Jezebel, The Atlantan and Stila Cosmetics to maximize its exposure and put the right individuals in the front row.
"It's important to have buyers and influencers in seats," Kern says. "We want to make it diverse not just Black and white. Everyone who has talent is welcome."

Gloria Diaz Movies and Career Information
Nov 30, -0001
Ilocos Region
Gloria Maria Aspillera Diaz or Gloria Diaz (born March 10, 1950) is an award-winning actress in the Philippines, and the first Filipino to bring home the Miss Universe crown. Diaz was born in the Ilocos region of Northern Philippines. Often referred to as one of the Diaz clan in newspapers, Diaz was one of 12 children. One of her sisters, Rio Diaz-Cojuangco, was also a Filipino actress and beauty titlist, who fell ill with colon cancer and died after a six-year battle. She has two daughters, Isabelle and Ava Esmeralda and one adopted son, Rafael. She was married to businessman Gabriel "Bong" Daza with whom she has two daughters, Isabelle and Ava. She was approached by an individual who believed she would do well in the Miss Universe competition and groomed the young woman. Oddly, none of her family members took the competition seriously and did not accompany Díaz to Florida. Díaz was only 18 when she became Miss Universe in 1969 after outsmarting other candidates on the question on how to welcome the first men that had just landed on the moon--Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins--as soon as they were back on the planet. She was crowned in the international

The academic programs in the
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering lead to undergraduate and
graduate degrees in civil and/or environmental engineering. There are also
special interdisciplinary programs. Finally, the department also offers a slate
of continuing education and short courses which are discussed in the "outreach
and public service" section of our pages.
The hallmark of our programs is the flexibility to accommodate the needs of
both traditional and non-traditional students without sacrificing the rigor
required for our graduates to meet the challenges confronting the engineer in
the 21st century. Our undergraduate program is fully accredited, and our BS
graduates (and graduate students) are well prepared to obtain their
professional engineering licenses.
We pride ourselves in preparing our undergraduates to be highly competitive in
both the engineering marketplace and graduate programs in engineering (or other
fields). Our undergraduate and graduate programs provide a good mix of the
theoretical and applied-this is a direct result of our faculty having training
from the best schools in the country and significant levels of experience in
consulting, with public agencies, and in industry.

The news headlines were simple: South African icon Nelson Mandela dies; Why Mandela was so beloved. He was one of those bigger-than-life figures around which legends are born.
In the religious sphere, Mandela could easily qualify for sainthood. After being imprisoned for 27 years for opposing apartheid, Mandela became the first black president of South Africa – while demolishing racial segregation and persecution in the process.
His imprisonment alone is the stuff of martyrs. And yet, in a Christlike manner, he managed to put aside any resentment he had over those years in prison and picked up where he left off, working with others to bring about peaceful change. "Turning the other cheek," as Christ advised, was an understatement when it comes to Mandela's actual experiences.
It's curious that Mandela is being pictured as an "icon." In Christian circles, an icon is a painting of a saint or Christ, often done in a symbolic or highly stylized fashion, so that the humanity is subordinated to the artist's abstract rendering. In a way, it's taking the figure of a human being, and turning it into something "other-worldly" or divine.
Mandela was certainly more heroic, more extraordinary, than the average person. But one of the reasons he was so beloved was the fact that after all the history-making achievements, he was still a human being….an ordinary father, husband, and parent who had his own share of personal difficulties, like the rest of us.
Barrymore Bogues, a professor of Africana Studies at Brown University in Providence, R.I., called Mandela "a very warm figure – somebody who listens very carefully to what you're saying."
No doubt, as the years pass, the Mandela story will take on the appearance of a "holy" scripture, recording his remarkable accomplishments in fighting oppression…no less impressive than some Biblical figures who stood up to Roman emperors, went into the lion's den, or brought a people to freedom.
The true test of his legacy
After all is said and done, however, there remains the question of the delicate state of the South African democracy. Some fear that without Mandela in the background as a "patron saint" and mediator, things will degenerate into violence and chaos.
But a little bit of wisdom often shared among pastors who find themselves turning over the reins of a congregation to a successor puts this situation in perspective: the best test of how successful a ministry has been under any single pastor is how well the congregation transitions to new leadership. If everything falls apart without the previous pastor around, then the seeming success was a false one, resting primarily on an overworked minister's ability to claim personal feats as congregational achievements.
If, however, the congregation moves on and prospers beautifully under a new leader, then the previous pastor has done good work in recruiting, teaching, grooming, and delegating in ways that empower a church rather than make it dependent on one or two people.
One can only hope that South Africa experiences a similar, peaceful and productive transition – one that would make Nelson Mandela proud!

Re: Dynamic Port Reuse
Spencer Dawkins <spencer <at> wonderhamster.org>
If I understand him correctly, I just want to reinforce what Dan's saying here... We've been doing port-agile protocols for years. It just seems wrong to me that suddenly paying MORE attention to port numbers now is the right thing to do, especially if this algorithm gets stuck in the next generation of Linksys boxes that we then can't upgrade until the year 2525... Given that there is a positive incentive for protocols to lie ("of COURSE I'm HTTP, why else would I be running on port 80 where the firewalls are passing traffic"), I don't expect this to end well. I wish I had a better suggestion, of course. Spencer > Using port numbers is, itself, non-deterministic. This is because > no two people will generate the same list ports that are safe to > re-use.

That is, that use UNSAF or use TCP S-O? >(Continue reading)

Our design process is our advantage. With the experience of over 1,200 projects, an intimate understanding of the permit process and municipal approvals, and a wealth of consulting partners, David Small Designs will ensure that your project – from initialization to completion – will be handled with confidence and efficiency. We promise a full service experience.
When you embark on a project as substantial as a home addition, renovation or custom design, you need to feel confident that your designer can create a home that captures the essence of you and your family. Prior to signing a contract or paying a fee, the first step in our design process is an introduction meeting. This is your chance to decide if David is the right designer for you.
We will conduct preliminary research of your property and review the regulatory guidelines associated with building on your lot. If you have not purchased your property yet, David will work with you to determine the most appropriate lot size and layout for your project.
This is your opportunity to ask questions and learn about the custom home design process.
Once you have selected David Small Designs for your project, we will clearly outline the project timing, fees and requirements so that you have a firm understanding of what lies ahead.
We will then collaborate with you to gather all the information required to initiate the design:
Next, we'll have a program requirements meeting where you'll share your wish list, your favourite designs or features, and the practical needs for your new home. It is here that our extensive experience helps us to fully ascertain what makes a home your dream home.
David will then create a design concept – unique to your property and your needs. You will review this with David and discuss the merits of involving other design consultants and builders to review the initial design and to solicit feedback. David will direct this highly collaborative and consultative process – enabling you to feel confident that we're putting your needs above all else.
The feedback will be incorporated and your questions and concerns addressed until a final version of the design is to your satisfaction.
Upon final approval of the design, the next stage is to create the technical drawings and construction documents. This will determine the final pricing of the project and ensure the proposal complies with applicable building codes and by-laws. We will diligently follow through on all required municipal approvals.
We work closely with our clients and their builder to ensure the project is executed in accordance with the applicable municipal guidelines. We are with you every step of the way to help simplify the process and ensure the final product stays true to the approved design.
