Alabama's rut typically starts in mid January.
Is anybody familiar with how and why the rut starts so late here?
I live in Georgia so I am use to the mid November rut show.
If you are familiar with this then what dates are considered pre-rut,peak rut, and then post-rut?

I am from North Carolina, but travel to Pratville just north of Montgomery each year at the end of January. For the past 4 years we have gone between the dates of the 20-30 and each year it is in the end of the pre-rut or at the peak. I can't give you anymore exact dates for this year and would be scared to with how the season is going from people I know across the SE. Seems to be unpredictable except for a few areas. So I hope you can get some more replies for this year as I would like to know also as we are once again heading that way in a month. Hope this did help you out some.

Well here in alabama we have 2 diff. heards of deer, we have a true Al deer that is mostly in south Al., and a Mich. strain whitetail that they transplated in north al. to help the population, so really we have 2 ruts that occur, one in Nov, the other in Jan. The only reason I know of for this is because of our location, being father south, and it not really getting cold till then. But usally we can look for the early signs of the late rut the last part of Dec to the early part of Jan with them really getting after it for the last part of our season.

Why would anyone choose to cook with honey as opposed to pouring it over a hot biscuit, pancake or the like – or use it to sweeten their coffee or hot tea in lieu of sugar?
As it turns out, there are at least seven benefits to using honey when you cook. Honey:
- is great for glazing roasted and baked foods to promote surface browning and enhances crispness;
- enhances flavors – it is welcomed as a natural sweetener for hot teas and cold beverages, particularly when there is a large variety of honey flavors available;
- is a great addition in pastry- and cake-making as it provides texture and feel;
- prolongs shelf life, which makes it a natural preservative for pickles and sauces;
- is an essential ingredient in providing moisture in rich cakes and prolonging the retention of that moisture;
- is binding due to its viscosity, making it a brilliant ingredient that aids the shaping of desserts such as pastries, puddings and cakes; and
- contributes a delightful golden hue to sauces, dressings, jellies and frozen desserts.
Find out which of these benefits arise when you make this recipe for honey-brine fried chicken breasts.
- 3 cups cold water
- ¼ cup kosher salt
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon onion salt
- cayenne pepper to taste
- vegetable oil for frying
- Mix cold water, kosher salt, and honey in a large bowl; stir until salt dissolves.
- Add chicken breasts, and weigh them down with a plate to keep them completely submerged. Cover entire bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove bowl from refrigerator; drain and dry chicken.
- Pour buttermilk over chicken in a large bowl. Set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Combine flour, black pepper, garlic salt, onion salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour mixture until well covered on all sides; place flour-coated chicken breasts on a cooling rack to dry for 15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to 350° F. Cook chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165° F.
- Transfer chicken to a cooling rack; allow to cool for 5 minutes.

EJB Data Availability in
Running the sample
Dynamic cluster support
Share my experience on EJB Availability in GlassFish. We are going to show a simple Stateful Session Bean application deployed on a GlassFish cluster and show how the SFSB data survives across failovers.
High availability applications and services provide their functionality continuously, regardless of hardware and software failures.
GlassFish provides High Availability Service for following components
HTTP Session Availability
JMS Availability
RMI-IIOP Loadbalancing and Failover
Http session availability is explained here, JMS Availability is explained in this doc
In this blog, we are explaining the EJB Data Availability, the sample uses Appclient container for RMI-IIOP Loadbalancing and Failover
Download GlassFish V2 UR2 build from here. (At the bottom of the page, download links are available, please pick the build for your platform)
to install glassfish and configure cluster.
java -Xmx256m -jar ./glassfish-installer-v2.1-b35-sunos.jar
Following instructions are
from "setting up one machine cluster" from here
cd glassfish
chmod -R +x lib/ant/bin
lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup-cluster.xml
cd ${glassfish.home}/bin
asadmin start-domain domain1
cd to ${glassfish.home}/samples/quickstart/clusterjsp
${glassfish.home}/bin/asant setup-one-machine-cluster
${glassfish.home}/bin/asadmin start-cluster cluster1
Our cluster is up and running now with two applciation server instances named instance-ONE and instance-TWO
Now lets configure the appclient
In this example we will be using the appclient script from $AS_HOME/bin along with the sun-acc.xml from $DOMAIN_HOME/config/sun-acc.xml. There is also a package-appclient script to install appclient separately. This will be useful for installing appclient on seperate machines to drive the load.
Now we need to find out atleast one
IIOP_LISTENER_PORT to configure sun-acc.xml. To know the IIOP_LISTENER_PORT of a
particular instance, type in the following command
${glassfish.home/bin/asadmin get instance-ONE.system-property.IIOP_LISTENER_PORT
edit ${glassfish.home}/domains/domain1/config/sun-acc.xml as following
Replace the port no with the one we got
from asadmin get command
<target-server name="hostname" address="hostname" port="3700"/>
Add the following line after the target-server line
<property name="com.sun.appserv.iiop.loadbalancingpolicy" value="ic-based"/>
Edit the log-service line and fill in the absolute path for the log file
<log-service file="/export/home/space/appclient/bin/appc.log" level="INFO"/>
Get the src and application ear file
${glassfish.home}/bin/asadmin deploy --host hostname --port 4848 --type
application --target cluster1 --retrieve ./
--availabilityenabled=true ${ear_file_location}/SFSB.ear
Now lets talk about two deployment options we used
The first one is "--availabilityenabled=true" - this is to specify high availability for our application.
High Availability is achieved by storing session state in a persistence store. There are three
types of persistence stores are supported in GlassFish
1. HA (used HADB as the persistence store)
2. File (used flat file system for persistence store)
3. Replicated (same as in-memory, uses replication as persistence store)
We are using in-memory persistence in this sample. The cluster is configured for in-memory by default (No additional configuration required!)
At the high level, the replication works in a ring topology, basically each instance replicates its session/ejb data to its buddy instance. More about this architecure can be found here
The second deployment option of interest is "--retrieve ./" - this option is to tell the system that we expect a client jar and we need that jar to be copied in the current directory
More information about GlassFish Application Client Container can be found here
As the application is deployed on the cluster, the bean is available on both the instances of cluster.
The client looks up the bean in one of the instance
(determined by the appclient container in a round-robin fashion) and
it has options to add,delete, print attribute operations on the bean.
In this example we first add an attribute (name, value pair), then we will stop the instance that served this request. Add another attribute from the same client, this time the bean will be reconstructed in the second instance and the previous data is also recovered. This explains data availability across failovers.
Now lets start the appclient
${glassfish.home}/bin/appclient -xml ${glassfish.home}/domains/domain1/config/sun-acc.xml -client ./SFSBClient.jar
Bean Lookup Successful
Add an Attribute(a)
Remove an Attribute(r)
Print Attributes(p)
type option 'a' , type in name and value of the attributes.
Enter name :abc
Enter value :123
Attribute abc added on instance: instance-ONE
After entering the attribute value, Client will tell us in which instance the bean is residing.
Open another command window, stop this instance
${glassfish.home}/bin/asadmin stop-instance instance-ONE
continue adding one more attribute by typing in 'a'
Enter name :cde
Enter value :456
Attribute abc added on instance: instance-TWO
now select 'p' to print the existing attributes.
Name : abc, Value: 123
Name : cde, Value: 456
instance-ONE was replicating to instance-TWO, so the bean data from ONE was replicated to TWO.
while adding the second attribute, client first tries to access the instance-ONE(to maintain stickyness), since the instance was down, there will be a connection failure exception.
(please see in appc.log, location defined in sun-acc.xml)
Then the client tries to connect to instance-TWO and succeed
type in 'q' to quit
Now we know that the EJB data is replicated to some other instance. this is some what a costly operation so we dont want to do it often.
There are two ways to tell the ejb container that we need the bean state (data) to be saved at the time.
1.marking the business method of a bean for checkpointing
2. marking the business method of the bean to be run inside of a transaction (Data is by default saved at the end of the transaction)
This sample uses transaction to initiate the save. This is achieved by declaring 'addAttribute()' business method of the bean as transactional (pls see the source)
public String addAttribute(String name,String value)
Dynamic Clustering
You can add more instances to the setup and try the sample again. the available IIOP_PORTs are dynamically identfied pls see the following line in appc.log this will list all the available urls
INFO: corbaloc url ==>iiop:1.2@hostname:33702,iiop:1.2@hostname:33702,iiop:1.2@hostname:33700
1. During Configuration step, If the following command fails
${glassfish.home/bin/asadmin get instance-ONE.system-property.IIOP_LISTENER_PORT
Then please try
${glassfish.home/bin/asadmin get cluster1-config.system-property.IIOP_LISTENER_PORT
2. If you see CORBA connection exception during second add attribute, most probably log location could be wrong. The exception is expected, since the instance is down

LX5 or TZ30
I'm heading for the Olympics later this month and have decided I don't want to carry my Nikon DSLR around. I'd like something a bit better than a cheap point and shoot to give me some good images, although these won't be of high speed sports action, more family-are-here type shots. I've a small waterproof Lumix FT3 but it's great for beach, less strong for stunning images, and my DSLR is too bulky to carry around for this one.
I'm thinking of either an LX5 or TZ30 but can't make up my mind - or is there anything else I should consider?
I'd like it small and light to carry around, but image quality is the most important to me as I'm used to stunning images from a full size Nikon.
Any help much appreciated?!

The unique pageantry of the city was in full force Sunday for the wild ride that is the Bay To Breakers footrace. People came from near and far for colorful event that is one of the largest parties in San Francisco.
People who have seen the event will remember it. If a person has never attended or seen photos from it then people would say it is loud, has music, dancing, people in all types of interesting outfits and some outside of the box thinking for some different costumes. They would also say that some people had no costumes or clothes on.
While seeing a naked person at a street festival in the city is almost a given, the reactions are not predictable. Some walk by unfazed, some are shocked and move away, some laugh and some get out their camera to take a photo. Dan (who didn't want to use his last name) who describes himself as a nudist, travels from Fort Worth, Texas each year to enjoy this event. While he attends some clothing optional places in Texas, he has never found anything like Bay To Breakers and keeps coming back to enjoy the footrace. Waiting for the race to begin people were taking photos of his rear as well as some posing for a picture with him.
Jun Yang and his wife came from the South Bay to see their Bay To Breakers. "I heard it's famous, so I wanted to come out and watch it at least for once in my life, maybe more," he said.
While many would agree with his reason, some would also understand his wife's decision. Asked if they heard about the naked runners they laughed and she said, "that's the reason I'm here."
Standing on the other side of a barrier from runners before the race was volunteer Alvin Erskine of Redwood City. He was enjoying picking up the tortillas that landed near him and throwing them back into the crowd. Corn tortilla tossing is an old tradition at the race and participants enjoy sending tortillas hurtling through the air like Frisbees.
There was almost 40,000 runners registered for the event but many participants did not have numbers. There were guesses that the number could be 50,000 or higher with the unregistered runners. In some years the numbers of unregistered nearly equaled the numbers of registered runners according to a WSJ article.
Down the course at Hayes and Market there was a small crowd waiting for the runners. In the crowd were two pigs or people in pig suits without bib numbers. They were wearing orange safety vests as they had trouble seeing through the eye holes.
This was their first time at the event and they said they had walked the course early to this location to avoid the huge crowds. "We were going to bring signs that said, 'Make bacon not war' but we forgot the signs. We were also going to hand out bacon to the runners but unfortunately Costco was closed by the time we had that idea," Andrew Piggy (the name he gave) said.
This was the 28th year in a row that Katie Villegas of Sacramento has entered the race. Wearing a Wonder Woman outfit she said she comes for the fun of it and sometimes in costume, sometimes not. There was one participant's outfit that stuck in her mind, "the guy with the scissors and morph suit going around giving vasectomies," she said.
The swimming salmon were a big hit with runners and participants alike. The runners dressed as salmon start at the end of the course and run to the start, swimming upstream. Running at 9th and Market they were giving high fives to runners heading the traditional direction. "I really liked them swimming upstream, that was very creative and clever," spectator Tony Lehdio said.
While there were arrests for public drunkenness, there was one arrest that stood out. A TV station in San Francisco reported a naked man was arrested after he was found in the bison paddock in Golden Gate Park and that's no bull.

The Infinite Possibility
Tuesday, September 03, 2013
It's been a struggle. A real struggle. It seems every time I try to be healthier, the worse I get. I am now up nearly 20 pounds. My clothes barely fit me. I walk around mainly wearing skirts and dresses and even those are starting to look awkward on me.
It takes a lot to admit, but I emotionally/binge eat. I exercise, nearly every day. I start my day with healthy eats, I try to take inspiration from facebook and instagram. But by the end of the day, it sets in. And I just get worse.
In some ways I should be happier than I've ever been. I have so much to be thankful for, and someone who makes me so happy, and doesn't care how I look.
But he has unhealthy habits, and those set in with me, and I think that's where it began. But even though things can be going so right with us, the world falls apart around us. And I don't like to deal with the stress. We are perfectly fine, but we have to deal with so much more.
The hardest part, is I'm starting to experience what happens when you become too heavy. I'm more lethargic. I can barely muster the energy to exercise, and when I do, it is not nearly at the intensity I used to do. This in turn makes me feel worse, and thus resulting in unhealthy eating habits. It's such a cycle that I feel trapped in. I think it causes the mild anxiety that I have to deal with and the unhappiness with other aspects of my life. I feel trapped in this cycle, trapped in my job, trapped and confined by my surroundings. I'm beginning to understand why people feel that they can never be healthy or lose the weight. I have certainly felt like that for months as my clothes continue to get tight, and trap me.
But then I had a revelation today. I sat in yoga in the park, breathing in the nice breeze under beautiful trees. During the final meditation, I finally realized that I have no idea what the future holds for me. And for the first time, I became excited. Despite my expanding waistline, my anger with my job, my desperation to move on, I felt that the future can hold anything for me. Anything, and that was amazing. Even through the forces beyond my control that are pressing down on my life, I felt the infinite possibility.
Even though I came home and still ate too much for dinner, borderline binging really, I still feel that tomorrow can get better. And I can be better, I can do better. In yoga, she said that we can be better tomorrow than we were today. I have an amazing opportunity ahead of me that may change the direction of my life, of our life. I don't want to enter it feeling foggy, slow, overweight, and unhealthy. I won't make any significant progress by next week, which is my chance to make this happen, but I can start in the right direction. Small steps in the right direction.
I always thought my life was going in one direction, and now, I have no idea....and it's exciting.

I can relate to feeling guilty when it seems you are in a good place in every other aspect of your life and you are still depressed. It seems like you are right thinking and that will lead to right living. I wish you the best in your journey. I hope I to have that spark moment.

College Hockey:Sioux Freshmen Carry Load
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — On a senior-laden team, North Dakota's freshman were the difference as the Fighting Sioux downed Bemidji State 3-1 in a nonconference game at Ralph Engelstad Arena Saturday.
Although UND skated eight seniors, freshman forward Rastislav Spirko scored the game-tying goal for the Sioux and freshman defenseman Kyle Radke's first career goal proved to be the game-winner. For Radke, who was expected to contribute more offense to UND's defensive corps, the goal was significant.
"It's more of a feeling of relief just to finally get it out of the way," he said.
After UND fell behind 3-0 in Friday's game and had to rally for a 3-3 tie, North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol said his team needed a better start on Saturday. UND's start Saturday was different, but not necessarily better.
BSU scored 1:11 into the game on its first shot on goal. Senior forward Brendan Cook brought the puck out from behind the net and jammed it past Sioux goalie Jordan Parise.
"As I was coming around the net, I saw that Parise wasn't quite hugging his post, so I just tried to rap it as hard as I could," Cook said. "Any time you get the first goal on the road, it's huge. It was definitely the start that we wanted."
Three minutes later, Sioux assistant captain and senior center Rory McMahon was called for spearing and given a five-minute major penalty and a game disqualification.
"It changes things quite a bit, but you adapt," said Hakstol.
The Sioux were already playing without forwards Brady Murray and Rylan Kaip, both out with injuries, as well as defenseman and captain Matt Greene, who was serving the second game of a two-game suspension that Hakstol imposed after Greene was arrested last weekend in Warroad, Minn., on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Eleven seconds after McMahon's penalty expired, UND sophomore forward Chris Porter was called for crosschecking. Fortunately for the Sioux, their penalty kill remained perfect for the weekend, shutting out the Beavers on all four of their power-play opportunities.
In the process of killing the penalties, UND generated some of its best scoring chances of the game, but came up empty. For the second straight night, freshman center Travis Zajac hit a pipe on a shorthanded breakaway.
BSU sophomore goalie Layne Sedevie, a Bismarck, N.D., native and one-time UND recruit, stymied the Sioux on repeated breakaways and odd-man rushes.
The first-period breaks continued to go against UND. The Sioux appeared to tie the game on the power play at 11:54, only to have referee Jon Campion wave it off, ruling that the puck had been directed in with a skate.
The Sioux tied the game at the 12:40 mark of the first period, just three seconds after their power play expired. UND center Colby Genoway stole the puck in BSU's zone and passed it to Zajac, who relayed a cross-crease pass to Spirko.
"It was a situation, 3-on-1, in front of the net," Spirko said. "It was a great pass from Colby to Zajac. It was also a great pass from Zajac to me. I had an open net. I couldn't miss."
"It was key that we were able to come back and get a goal just after the power play," Hakstol said. "I think that was a big momentum-builder for us."
At 2:14 of the second period, Radke blasted a slapshot from the point that went in short side over Sedevie's shoulder, giving the Sioux a 2-1 lead. The goal came after Zajac won a faceoff deep in BSU's zone and forward Drew Stafford dished the puck to Radke.
Late in the third period BSU had an opportunity to tie the game when Sioux senior Quinn Fylling was called for high-sticking with just under four minutes left in the game. But once again, Parise and the Sioux penalty kill blanked the Beavers.
With 1:23 left and a faceoff in UND's zone, BSU coach Tom Serratore called a timeout and pulled Sedevie for an extra attacker. The Beavers applied tremendous pressure as the clock wound down, but UND's defense held.
In the final three seconds, Fylling intercepted a BSU pass out of its zone and rifled the puck into the empty net, giving UND a 3-1 win.
"I was happy with how we played," said Serratore. "I was very upset yesterday that we gave the game away. Tonight, the guys did all we could ask of them to work hard and work smart. We brought our A game. But you know what, the puck just didn't bounce our way."
The Sioux outshot the Beavers 31-28. Both teams were 0-4 on the power play. Sedevie made 28 saves and Parise had 27.
UND is 15-10-3 overall (10-9-1 WCHA) and BSU is 14-9-1 overall (9-3-0 CHA). The Sioux are at home Feb. 4-5 for a series with Denver. The Beavers play Wayne State at home Feb. 4-5.

Adjustable mortgages with low introductory rates were the rage, but now the teaser rates are running out.
Feds get involved, lending standards tighten
The coming tide of foreclosures has captured
the attention of Congress. House and Senate
committees have held hearings, but no major legislation
has resulted so far. Regulators are on notice,
though. Federal regulatory agencies have proposed
strongly suggesting that lenders extend subprime
ARMs only to customers who can afford to make
payments at the maximum possible interest rate.
As a result of rising foreclosures and regulatory
pressure, lenders have been tightening their criteria for extending
subprime mortgages and other types of loans, especially a nonstandard
type of mortgage called alt-A, which typically doesn't require full
documentation of income or assets.
Michael Moskowitz,
president of Equity
Now, a mortgage lender, says
the criteria for some loans have
become too strict. "Now it's
a little tougher to do deals that
are actually good deals,"
he says. "Most people now
are looking to 2008. In the month
of August, things worsened notably
with American Mortgage going out
of business. The feeling is that
it will take some time."
Tips for avoiding bad mortgages
But how does a borrower distinguish a good deal from a bad one?
"I think one thing that you do, definitely, is you insist on a disclosure," Moskowitz says. "Anyone who doesn't give you a disclosure within three days, the way they're supposed to do under federal regulations -- don't even talk to them."
Ask the broker or loan officer for references to three recent customers who have roughly the same income and credit profile as you. Then call them. "People will talk," Moskowitz says. Ask them how long it took to close and if the original estimate of rate and fees changed before closing, "because maybe they got bamboozled a little bit."

I've just been shown what my wife's family are paying to the Siam Commercial Bank in interest on their 700,000 Baht home loan. I couldn't believe and checking their statements it is a whopping 15%
I've also checked at Siam Commercial here: http://www.scb.co.th...n/rate/loan.pdf
There are two rates, one "Default" and one rate as "Normal". Even the "Normal" is high at 11.375%. Anyone know what the criteria is for these rates?
Apparently the 15% interst rate came in about 7 months ago and prior was 5-6% for a few years. From what my wife said they have tried to refinance at another bank at lower rates but because of their low income were not accepted.
Anyway, not sure how I can help (besides the obvious!) but before I/we go into the bank does anyone has have any experience negotiating a better rate at this bank or have any other advice to get a lower interest rate.
I looked up their savings deposit rates and at < 1% is a massive gap!
Cheers YBB

Schrier Family Sues Menlo Park and Atherton
September 27, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
In response to a 2011 accident that injured Menlo Park teenager Courtney Schrier, her family has filed a lawsuit against the cities of Menlo Park and Atherton as well as Ranjit Pradhan, the driver of the vehicle that struck Schrier.
Schrier was struck at 8:30 on the morning of July 26, 2011 in a crosswalk on El Camino at Alejandra Avenue. According to the Almanac, she lost consciousness upon impact.
"This was a horrible accident," said Sacred Heart athletic director Frank Rodriguez. "Witness accounts said that the car that hit Courtney in the crosswalk didn't brake and knocked her 10 feet into the air."
The lawsuit cites that it is the responsibility of public agencies to "provide and/or maintain adequate traffic control devices and warning signs alerting motorists to the crosswalk and the presence of pedestrians," as well as "address and regulate the high speed of vehicles," thus attributing the cause of her accident to the negligence of public agencies.
Schrier, a competitive athlete, was hit on the way home from a run in the area surrounding her house as part of her training to prepare for the Sacred Heart 2011 cross country season.
Marissa Beck, her cross country coach, cited her injuries as a fractured pelvis, possible punctured lung, and broken tailbone, according to Palo Alto Online. The lawsuit stated that she suffered a brain injury as well.
According to the lawsuit, because of the pelvis and brain injury, she was unable "to pursue her regular course and (regimen) of studies and athletics, and thus her choices of higher education have been reduced."
The accident was detrimental to her team as well–in 2010, Schrier (then a sophomore) placed 13th overall in the West Bay Athletic League aiding her cross-country team in securing the first place league title. She was also ranked second team all league in both cross-country and track. Thus, it was a huge disappointment to lose her athletic abilities for the 2011 season.
"As great as a runner as she is," Beck said, "she's even a better kid."
Though Schrier declined to comment on her parents' reason for pursuing a lawsuit, in July of 2012 they decided to sue for unspecified damages as a result of the accident.
By citing both Menlo Park and Atherton as well as San Mateo County and even the state of California, Atherton City Attorney Bill Conners described the lawsuit as "a shotgun approach," according to Palo Alto Online.
"We cannot maintain [El Camino]" Conners said of the State Highway, which is considered state property. "We don't own it; we can't control it."
However, the case brings to light the multitude of accidents that have occurred on El Camino in recent years, and the lawsuit accuses multiple public agencies of being "negligent and careless in the design, construction, maintenance, inspection, repair, and control" of the road.

In a few more weeks, spring cocktails return to bar and restaurant menus everywhere; until then we're forced to fend off this cold and miserable weather in other ways. Joyce & Gigi's does the trick just fine. In case you haven't heard, the new new South American bistro in East Dallas has gotten great reviews in several high-profile Dallas magazines lately. So, are their cocktails as good as the food? We tried the tropical mojito, a rosy-colored potion made with a hearty guava puree that was sweet, citrusy and delightful. In contrast, G's Punch, a bourbon-based cocktail was earthy and savory, packed solid with the flavors of peach and cinnamon, and rounded out by a liberal shake of bitters. "The punch is an adult version of a drink called mocochinchi, which is a popular street drink in Bolivia where I'm from," says Gigliola Aguilera, aka Gigi, who operates the restaurant with her mother, Joyce. Though provocative, we found the drink dense and syrupy, and the walloping flavors competed a little too much for our taste buds' attention. But hey, we're not that keen on manhattans, either.
Aguilera watched our tasting with a quiet intensity. At the young age of 29, she has worked under the likes of great chefs like Dean Fearing and Wolfgang Puck. All eight of the cocktails on the drink menu are her design, in addition to the concepts on the dinner menu. It's obvious from the entrée selections (think empanadas and grilled beef skewers complemented by exotic flavors like yucca root, plantains, and house-made chorizo) that Gigi is eager to share her heritage. Before disappearing back into the busy kitchen, she hovered long enough to offer us a plate of mint bread, another Latin American staple. The bread was fresh from the oven, with a crispy crust and a warm spongy inside; incredibly satisfying. A couple of nibbles sobered us up enough to try our third cocktail, a strawberry and rhubarb sangria, which quickly became our favorite. Our glass overflowed with fragrant chunks of strawberry and orange, and each bliss-inducing sip was delicately sweet, with a silky texture that made the drink go down frightfully easy. Before leaving, we treated ourselves to a dish called pescado sudado, which is a pan-seared Chilean sea bass served with yucca root cake (think mashed potatoes), and topped by a hearty red chili gravy. Heavenly.
Aguilera's passion for her restaurant is obvious. You can see it in her eyes when she shakes your hand and in the detail she puts into her dishes and cocktails at Joyce & Gigi's. Her love is a palpable thing. And the best part is, you can taste it too.

Managing and Conserving Our Wildlife
and Natural Resources
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
Even after four years of
being out of print, people still remember the Outdoor
Report. The original Outdoor Report was produced by Spike
Knuth, renowned wildlife artist. We decided to bring it back
in a new electronic format and recruited Spike to help us
with the new version. You'll notice his original artwork and
information about a featured animal in each issue. We hope
you enjoy the new, electronic Outdoor Report and invite you
to share this information with your friends and colleagues.
Simply visit the
Department's Web site and click on the Outdoor Report
link to

address every two weeks. Enjoy!
The Summary of Virginia
Hunters' Opinions of Sunday Hunting contains the initial
results from the Department's recent hunter survey on the
topic of Sunday hunting. The results from the 2006 survey,
when compared with the results from a survey conducted in
1996, indicate a significant difference in hunters' opinions
about Sunday hunting has occurred in the last ten years.
Hunters are reminded of the
new extended deer hunting season from January 8 to February
3, 2007 in the counties (including the cities and towns
within) of Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William. During this
season only antlerless deer may be taken. Note: to hunt deer
with a firearm on private lands in Fairfax County a special
landowner permit is required. For that permit contact the
Division of Animal Control, 4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax, VA
Governor Timothy M. Kaine
participated in a ceremony to mark the opening of the
Greensprings Phase of the Virginia Capital Trail, the first
phase to open to public use. When complete, the Virginia
Capital Trail - a facility for pedestrians, cyclists, and
other recreational users - will connect the Canal Walk in
downtown Richmond with Jamestown and Williamsburg along the
James River/Route 5 corridor and Colonial Parkway.
Governor Kaine
joined local elected officials in the
ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the Green Springs
section of the trail in Williamsburg.
VDGIF played a
significant role in the establishment of this Trail
by working cooperatively with the Secretary of
Transportation, Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT), the Williamsburg Land
Conservancy, James City County, and the residents of
the Fieldcrest subdivision to establish
relationships and working agreements regarding the
Trail and management of a 40+-acre wetland. VDOT
will transfer ownership of this parcel to VDGIF to
be managed as an urban wildlife management area. The
Trail provides excellent access for wildlife
viewing, and provides an exceptional opportunity for
use by surrounding subdivisions and nearby schools.
The Shenandoah River Fish
Kill Task Force, with the assistance of river enthusiasts
from throughout the watershed, is investigating reports of
fish kills on the North and South Fork Shenandoah, as well
as a recent December fish kill on the mainstem. VDGIF
biologists identified that most of the fish killed recently
were northern hogsuckers centered on the mainstem
Shenandoah, downstream of Morgan's Ford. The Virginia
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) urges anyone
observing dead fish or unusual water quality conditions to
contact DEQ immediately at (540) 574-7800.
VOWA Youth
Writing Contest Entries Due
The submission
deadline of January 31, is fast approaching
for the Virginia Outdoor Writer's Association (VOWA)
14th Annual Youth Writing Competition. The goal
of the contest is to recognize students in grades 9
through 12 for excellence in communicating their
personal experiences in the outdoors. The theme of
this year's contest, "My Most Memorable Outdoor
Experience," may include an experience by the
writer with hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing,
hiking, birding or other outdoor activity. Contest
information was provided to the State Department of
Education early in October and distributed to
various schools early on in the school year.
Submissions can be made by private, public or home
schooled students.
For contest rules,
guidelines and information visit
Training for Volunteer Hunter Education Instructors
is scheduled by the VDGIF Law Enforcement Division
in April. These volunteers teach about 14,000
students annually to be safer, more responsible
hunters. If you are interested in becoming a Hunter
Education volunteer, please email Sgt. David Dodson
The Virginia
Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation
with over 7000 members, is a significant partner with
VDGIF, providing over $50,000 in conservation grants
raised by Chapter members. These contributions
support VDGIF cooperative programs and projects
including research, hunter recruitment, skills
development and law enforcement.
Congratulations to
Ronnie Lambrich from Madison, elected as the new
State President for 2007-09 and Robin Clark from
Charlottesville, the new Vice-President and
Volunteer Coordinator for Wheelin' Sportsmen. Both
have been instrumental in supporting VDGIF programs
benefiting all sportsmen.
During the past year in
cooperation with VDGIF, the Wheelin' Sportsmen
program sponsored 20 events, providing 208 persons
with disabilities opportunities to experience
memorable outdoor experiences. This effort also
involved 406 volunteers and the hospitality of
numerous landowners, State Forests and Department wildlife
management area facilities.
VDGIF Board
member Ward Burton from South Boston is
returning to the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup series as
the new driver of the No. 4 Chevrolet for
Morgan-McClure. Burton competed in three NASCAR
races for McClure at the end of the 2006 season,
with an average start of 32nd and an average finish
of 26.3. Off the track, Mr. Burton is recognized as
an avid sportsman and conservationist, establishing
the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation to promote
wildlife conservation, habitat enhancement, and
proper stewardship of America's natural resources
for future generations. He has established a 2,100
acre site in Halifax to demonstrate stewardship
management of the land and provide outdoor
experiences for youth to instill a conservation
ethic in our future generations. Go Ward, Go!
Whether you're on
the water this winter hunting waterfowl or
striper fishing, or just taking advantage of a warm
winter day, it just makes sense to take some
precautions to ensure a safe boating experience. A
sudden tumble into cold water can dangerously lower
your body temperature leading to hypothermia. Here
are some tips to keep you safe:
Tufted Titmouse
by Spike Knuth
A close relative of the chickadee is the tufted
titmouse, the little grayish bird with the crest. Its
upper parts are a light slate gray, with lighter gray
under parts, sometimes with a rusty wash on its flanks.
The titmouse has a dark eye that stands out on its light
gray face and gives it a mousy appearance. It has a
dark, almost black forehead, and measures about 6 inches
long with a short black bill.
Its winter calls are
chickadee-like noises; scratchy, scolding calls. As
spring nears, you may hear its song from a high tree
perch, often described as "peeta, peeta, peeta." In
winter they acts very much the same as chickadees,
flocking up with chickadees, downy woodpeckers, brown
creepers, nuthatches, kinglets and other small birds.
Titmice seldom wander too far
from woodlands and swamps during breeding but come fall
they are common in the suburbs, and country residential
areas, and park lands. In winter they feed on insect
eggs, insects, insect larvae, small seeds, nuts, and
hibernating insects. They will spend all winter with us
and, like chickadees, they will commonly come to the
feeder to sample sunflower seeds, and suet cakes
especially earlier in the winter.

An optimist would draw much inspiration from Matteo Renzi's convincing victory in Sunday's primary elections for the leadership of Italy's ruling centre-left Democratic party (PD). Doesn't the success of the 38-year-old Florence mayor prove that a new generation of vigorous, reform-minded politicians is, at long last, replacing the squabbling, incompetent and sometimes corrupt oldsters who have presided over the nation's decline over the past 20 years?

If you still don't know the latest fashion trends for the coming season, you have to click here, but if you already too proficient in this sphere and want to find out more about winter 2007/2008 trends, you are welcome!
It is a common point of view, to write about tendencies and to consider fashion collection of many brands and designers, but today I came to a conclusion to change my ordinary vision of world (maybe because of weather – it is so sunny and warm) and to tell you about clothes from one of my favourite trading mark – KOOKAI.
- The 1st and undisputable leader of the season is knitting. A great variety of sweaters, cardigans, dresses-sweaters of neutral, beige, pastel or grey colours. Amazing models of sweaters can be found in both very famous designers collections and in collections from Stella McCartney, Nina Ricci and, of course, KOOKAI;
- One more tendency – jackets, together with both skirts and trousers. KOOKAI proposes very womanish and beautiful jackets in a style of 60′s;
- Trousers must be either too wide or too narrow. To tell the truth, they can be various and different, most of all I like KOOKAI trousers BOMBAY;
- Any woman wants to be a tigress, a temptress and it is a reality with dresses from D&G, KOOKAI, Ermanno Scervino and Chloe. They offer us amazing dresses, you will look like a gracious panther, always ready to kill your victim and leave him no chances but to stay with you (I am sorry, it is just a comparison). Also, attention of publicity can be drawn to leopard sweaters, actually they possess special and unusual pattern, called a la leopard. Enjoy!
- Are you an attentive fashion-lover? What is the main colour, of this season, apart from a black one is… Of course, purple. There are a lot of variations of this tone, the most successful (as for me): IZ – Renoncule; ID – Chardon and IL – Mure. Don't forget about dresses of the season, you can wear these berry fun dresses with hosiery, trousers and black tights;
- Scotch check is still popular and attractive. Wearing it you can make a hint that you adore punk style;
- Wide belts, narrow belts, various corsets… They just must be…
Good luck, dear fashion-lovers!

Compaq's SG3745IL model specifies its maximum install-able memory as 4GB DDR2. However many as people have found success installing more than specified memory I'm wanting to upgrade my system's memory to 8GB or atleast to 6GB. Will my chipset be able to support it ? My chipset as I found under my Compaq model's specifications was NForce 430. Could I upgrade it? My OS is win7-64.
The product page for the mainboard mentions:
Which is very unhelpful, since the system already comes with a 64bit CPU.
But the key is in the line above that one:
It has two slots. Both of which support 2GB DIMMs. That's it.
But if you already know people who managed to run it with more, maybe you should ask them how they did that.
Regarding oliver's post - if you pull up the system specs they will usually feed you the information that the pre-installeOS (usually 32 bit) supports. on the bottom of the page of all the links provided, both by the askee and by oliver - go to the bottom right of the page and click "product information", then expand "motherboard specifications"
They like to bury the real facts....
I run into this question often, and usually a few google searches will result an answer.
the trick is usually finding what the real motherboard model# is... manufacturer web site - system specifications is usually the easiest then search for keywords like: motherboard model# max ram motherboard model# bios update max ram
the manufacturer web site is often the most informative, in this case it indicates your mainboard is made by Asus, "Asus M2N68-LA"
Bear in mind that these mainboards, though usually made by another company, often are customized by the manufacturer through bios or other modifications.
If bios updates are available, I usually install them, ecpecially if they fix something important...
In your case, it doesn't appear bios updates are available, but several other drivers/updates are available that you may want to install: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3913359#N332

Can Robert Glasper Unite Jazz and Hip-Hop Fans?
Jared Pauley spurred some heated dialogue and debate with an article published in this column last year on jazz and hip-hop. (See one skeptical response here.) Now the debate is likely to start up again, with Robert Glasper's high-profile new CD mixing the two genres. This new CD is already climbing up the sales charts, and looks to be a big crossover success. Pauley reports on the release party below. [Note: a track from this CD is currently featured as Song of the Day at jazz.com.] T.G.
The champion of hip-hop and jazz, pianist Robert Glasper, returned to the world of music with his August 25th release Double Booked. Featured on the disc are his acoustic and electric working bands. The acoustic line-up includes Vicente Archer on bass and Chris "Daddy" Dave on drums while his electric band adds Casey Benjamin on alto sax and vocoder, and Derrick Hodge on electric bass. On Sunday August 30th, in conjunction with Revive Music Group and Le Poisson Rouge, Glasper held his album release party at an esteemed and legendary West Village location (the old Village Gate).
From the start there was buzz in the air as people wondered what special guests might show—since Glasper plays with many well-known artists in the industry. DJ Stimulus got the party started a little after eight, switching up between old school soul records, neo-soul tunes and old school hip-hop. Glasper hit the stage roughly at 10:30 p.m. with Vicente Archer and Chris Dave.
I found the interaction of this trio to be very electrifying and satisfying. Chris Dave moved seemlessly around the playing of both Archer and Glasper, creating complex rhythmic tensions and even stronger resolutions. Archer showed why he is one of the best bassists around right now, effortlessly incorporating swing grooves with well thought-out and intelligent solos. Glasper also complemented the mood with warm melodic passages and intricate harmonic movements.
Yet at times I wondered whether some of the fans at the show were really "getting" the jazz part of the show. There were moments where I felt as though the audience was just waiting on Mos Def or Q-Tip to pop out of the sky and grab the mike. Aside from this—and the occasional mess up of the sound man misjudging Glasper's piano levels—the set was well worth it. I always like hearing Vicente Archer, and this performance really sold me on the straight ahead talents of all three musicians.
Walking through the crowd I noticed many well-known jazz musicians, from Gretchen Parlato to Marcus Strickland, eagerly awaiting the next set as much as I was. After a longer than expected intermission, Glasper returned with his electric band, adding Derrick Hodge and Casey Benjamin. By now the crowd was reeling with anticipation. When the sound check was finally complete, the group was ready to start doing their thing. The group performed several tunes off of the electric part of Double Booked, adding nice textures and inflections which were strongly aided by Glasper's Fender Rhodes playing.
As WBGO's Josh Jackson has pointed out, Casey Benjamin a.k.a. Stuts McGhee, is single handedly bringing the vocoder back into popular music. Some might see this as a curse but Benjamin stood out from the rest of the band, stealing the show in my opinion with powerful solos and wonderfully timed excecutable, melodic ideas. When the group started playing Herbie Hancock's "Butterfly," I was more than impressed with their versatility as an ensemble. Derrick Hodge was the anchor, grooving like the ghost of Paul Jackson was sitting on his shoulder steering him into unchartered waters.
The drumming style of Chris Dave is hard to describe. There are moments where I thought Tony Williams had been resurrected. Dave's shifts between styles and meters almost seem to happen through osmosis. Although Mos Def and Q-Tip didn't show up, guitarist Lionel Loueke did arrive, garnering much deserved praise and adulation from the crowd of 300. I didn't catch the name of the tune, but Loueke fit in well with the quartet. Vocalist Bilal was also present, joining the band for "All Matter," which was recorded for Double Booked as well. My personal favorite song of the second set had to be Derrick Hodge's "Open Mind." He started off the song with an astonishing electric bass set-up that blended harmonics and chordal movements.
Overall, the Robert Glasper release show was what I expected it to be. I was a little surprised at the fluidity of the acoustic trio, even though I found both sets of music to be equally refreshing. One thing that I didn't like about the show was the sound man. LPR has an onboard sound man and also has sound people in the back controlling the house mix. Whoever was running sound on stage just couldn't seem to get it right when it came to adjusting Glasper's audio levels. I shouldn't have been that surprised though, because every single show I've been to at LPR, there has been some kind of issue with the sound. Whether it's mike feedback from the horns or inappropriate levels from the instruments, something always seems to go wrong.
I think it's safe to say that Robert Glasper has really found his niche with Double Booked. Some might find the electric band to be too much at times but I think others will find their music to be just as refreshing and inviting as music from the 1970s and beyond. Double Booked charted at number 7 on Billboard's jazz chart, number 1 on ITunes jazz and 453 on Amazon's download charts, which is a good sign that Glasper has successfully found a way to bridge the gaps that exist between the hip-hop and jazz audiences. Only time will tell but if Glasper is able to convert some hip-hop fans into jazz lovers and jazz lovers into fusion fans, I think we should say "Salud!" And give credit where credit is due.

Pop Physique (Polk Street) will host a pop-up Blake Brody truck show this afternoon. These shoes are the latest craze in workout footwear for Pilates, barre and yoga.
Lucky me, I got a pair in the mail earlier this week. I am a yoga gal myself, so I gave them a whirl yesterday during a home practice. These little babies are very grippy and do nicely in a pinch if you just do not feel like rolling out your mat. Also, I think they will be a welcome addition to my gym bag for the moments I wander into a new studio and find the floors are less than clean. The one draw back I noticed is that it is a bit difficult to lift and separate your toes when they are completely covered, a common move in yoga. Although I was not able to fully lift and separate my toes, my balance was not affected. I may test drive them in a Pilates class, the style and design of the shoe is perfect for pointing the toes.
Be aware they do run a bit small, you may want to go up a half size when purchasing a pair. I wear a size 9 shoe, but picked up a 9 1/2.
Head out to the truck show this evening from 4:30 - 8:30 p.m. for 25% off all styles.
