LAS VEGAS, Aug. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Internationally known Chef Grant MacPherson will be a featured chef with Jade at this year's Hawaii's Food & Wine Festival. He will cook at the Corks & Forks event presented by Hawaiian Airlines on Saturday, September 6, 2014. The event will feature 20 celebrity chefs and 20 of Napa Valley's Top Wine Estates.
Last year, MacPherson cooked his famous Wild Boar Scotch egg. At this year's festival, he'll treat clients to a seared Kahua Ranch lamb burger with pickled red beets and Big Island goat cheese.
MacPherson migrated to Australia in the late 1980s and it was always a dream of his to work in Hawaii. That dream was fulfilled when he was hired to be part of the opening team at the Ritz-Carlton on the Big Island as the Dining Room Chef in 1990. He returned in 1999 to work alongside one of his mentors Chef Philippe Padovani. He now lives in Vegas but returns each year for a small vacation. Recently, Grant has been cooking and travelling aboard HawaiiYachts.com with Global Ocean Club in the south of France and Italy.
"Coming to Hawaii is very magical for me because of the time I've spent here living and working," said MacPherson. "It's an honor to come back as a guest of Roy Yamaguchi and Alan Wong and to be working with my good buddies Hubert Keller and Dean Fearing from Dallas. It's starting to become one of the elite food and wine festivals on the globe with chefs and friends from all over the world collaborating together to use Hawaiian products. I'm honored to be a part of this event.
A native Scotsman who grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa and Alberta, Canada, MacPherson began his culinary journey in southern Ontario, Canada before it was fashionable. In the restaurant business now for more than 30 years, MacPherson has cooked adventurous five-star food, developing menus, designed and run kitchens, and built top-notch teams at iconic places including Raffles Hotel—the legendary "Grand Old Lady of Singapore;" the opening of Bellagio, Las Vegas; Wynn Las Vegas; Wynn Macau; Regent Hotels in Sydney and Kuala Lumpur; Maxim's de Paris, Singapore; Four Seasons Hotels in Toronto, Vancouver, and London; Ritz Carlton, Big Island of Hawaii; and Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados, West Indies.
MacPherson recently opened his global food and beverage consultancy Scotch Myst's Las Vegas located upstairs at Granello Bakery. There, he develops, consults, and implements highly customized culinary solutions and services for restaurants and hotels worldwide. In addition to running Scotch Myst, MacPherson keeps a busy calendar touring the globe to cook at a wide variety of culinary events.

"We've discovered that after shows 80% if leads that people get, 80% of the conversations end up on the show floor, meaning people forget about it, people forget who they talk to, people forget that there are actual business opportunities to be had here so we try to help out and keep the conversations going," explained Jeff Mesnik, Founder and President of ContentMX, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 18th Cloud Expo, held June 7-9, 2016, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

The Scottish Storytelling Centre is a vibrant arts venue with a seasonal programme of live storytelling, theatre, music, exhibitions, workshops, family events, and festivals. We are the home of two festivals: TradFest, a traditional arts festival that takes place in the spring, and the Scottish International Storytelling Festival in October. We're also a host venue for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and other exciting cultural programmes all year round.
We're a great meeting place where you can experience Scotland's rich story heritage. In the Storytelling Court you'll find an interactive Storywall which children (and adults!) enjoy exploring. Try to find Greyfriars Bobby; catch the frog; meet Nessie, the Gruffalo and Wee Willie Winkie; and discover traditional Scottish tales. Tucked around the corner you can listen to excerpts from Edinburgh's most famous storyteller, Robert Louis Stevenson, and we always have a free exhibition on display.
Swap your own stories in the Café over some delicious home baking and great coffee. Browse our bookshop in the medieval luckenbooths of John Knox House and see if you can spot our dragon's nest and time capsule hiding among the books. Attached to the Scottish Storytelling Centre is John Knox House, creating a very unique venue that incorporates contemporary design with medieval architecture. Explore this museum to learn about one of the most turbulent times in Scottish History.
The Scottish Storytelling Centre is also the Headquarters of the Scottish Storytelling Forum which offers its members exclusive access to development events; discounts on our Workshops and Courses; and support and advice on professional development.

Linus Torvalds promises 'no fingers' to Nvidia - just don't ask him about Nokia
When Linus Torvalds visited Aalto University in June, the visit resulted in the Linux pioneer giving Nvidia the finger — an outburst that became the university's most watched YouTube clip. Torvalds made a follow-up visit on Tuesday, but promised students there would be "no fingers this time".
In his return to the Finnish university, this year's Aalto University Millennium Prize winner promised to discuss almost any question thrown at him. Off the cards were two notable subjects: Nvidia, which famously attracted Torvalds' ire for refusing to ensure its hardware worked with his open-source software, and Nokia.

I came here for dinner with some friends for the first time and all the good things I've heard about Fogo de Chao were true. I tried so many different types of meat that I can't say which was my favorite. Their garlic mashed potatoes were really really good. The salad bar looked to have a vast assortment of greens, but I'm a simple salad person so it was more than enough for me. The way they serve their meats is unique and the atmosphere was charged with many conversations. All the good comes with a high price tag, but overall, I'd say it's well worth the occasional visit. You won't be disappointed.

Kathy's Carry OutThe "Kathy burger" (two patties with red chile, cheese and bacon) comes in two sizes and is well worth the drive down to the South Valley. You can even get a burger burrito, which is rolled up with Kathy's creamy, delicious beans in a flour tortilla. Broke? No problem! About 20 bucks is all it takes to stuff you and four of your closest stoner friends with quick, delicious comfort food. And they're always open until midnight in a beautifully remodeled building. We'd kiss Kathy if we knew her better. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Great customer service, I got a phone call confirmation of my order and another phone call when groceries had been delivered. Produce was fresh, service was quick and convenient. Will definitely use Garden Grocer again on my next trip to Disney!
Outstanding fast service.
Excellent customer service, they go above and beyond to be both friendly and helpful. On time delivery, reasonable pricing. Don't know how I would have managed my Disney vacation without them!! If we come again I will definitely use Garden Grocer again!

The Milwaukee County District Attorney today charged Robleh A. Kahin, a 27-year-old Milwaukee resident, with the attempted robbery of Guaranty Bank, 4000 W. Brown Deer Road, on Sept. 22 and the robbery of the bank on Aug. 2.
In all, Kahin was charged with three felonies, robbery of a financial institution - use of a dangerous weapon, attempted robbery of a financial institution and attempting to flee an officer.
If convicted on all three charges, Kahin could face up to 68 years in prison and fined up to $160,000.
According to police, at approximately 2:20 p.m. Sept. 22, the Brown Deer Police Department received a 911 call from an employee at the bank reporting an attempted armed robbery had just occurred. An alert bank employee, seeing a man with a gun approaching the bank, locked the doors, preventing his entry.
The suspect fled in a Lexus RX350, which was located by Glendale police officers, who pursued the suspect vehicle along with Fox Point officers.
The suspect eventually lost control of his vehicle due to a blown tire, abandoned his car and fled on foot. He was taken into custody in Fox Point, near Stormonth Elementary School on North Longacre Road. The school was locked down while police arrested the suspect.
Due to the similarities of this and the Guaranty Bank robbery from Aug. 2, Brown Deer police were able to have Kahin charged for both incidents. In the Aug. 2 robbery a man wearing a ski mask, wraparound sunglasses and carrying a gun, robbed the bank and fled in a car described as similar to a Lexus RX 350.

Different size and style of tortilla, options other than just burritos, etc. Their branding is stupid but I stopped holding that against places once Fuzzy's opened.

The Book Against God
by James Wood
Thomas Bunting while neglecting his philosophy Ph.D., still unfinished after seven years, is secretly writing what he hopes will be his masterwork--a vast atheistic project to be titled The Book Against God. In despair over his failed academic career and failing marriage, Bunting is also enraged to the point of near lunacy by his parents' religiousness. When his father, a ...more

No one really likes this book except for my father and myself, but I'm quite fervent about it. It's a serious and funny book, and if you happen to find the perambulations of middle-aged British pseudo-Anglican religion-drowned atheists engaging, it's for you.

The writing sentence by sentence is wonderful but I didn't feel attached to the characters at all...and the plot was thinner than thin...it is a book of ideas. It was as if James Wood created a bunch of puppets to voice the conversations in his own head....conversations between the different sides of himself regarding writing, faith, meaning and family...deceit and truth as related to the nature of reality. All interesting and thought provoking but might have been better as a collection of essay ...more

'This novel is an unexpected delight. The Book Against God reads almost as if Evelyn Waugh were alive again, and had decided to write in his graceful, fluid prose about one of Walker Percy's heroes: the distracted, contemporary sons of comfort whose search for religious meaning is indirect, halting, and thoroughly believable. Wood speaks in the voice of Thomas Bunting, a youngish, intellectual skeptic religiously obsessed with disproving the existence of God. Bunting is not a conventional unbeli ...more

Jul 30, 2008 Justin rated it liked it
James Wood is probably as successful as a "literary critic" gets having become a staff writer for the New Yorker, and released a few well-received books of essays. The Book Against God is the Brit's only novel and it kind of reads like it's written by someone who has studied the craft of literature very, very hard. While not quite laborious, Wood's prose is certainly studious, and his story of an intellectual failure struggling to come out from his father's shadow hearkens back to the comedies o ...more

Shelves: gotta-have-faith, contemporary-fiction
Thomas Bunting, the main character of James Wood's novel, is a compulsive liar, self-absorbed sponge and the epitome of arrested development. His reason for being, apart from smoking, drinking and lying around idly, seems to be to build a case against God that also is a case against his father, a parish priest. Woods' book is entertaining and quite funny in places, but it's really a story about love and redemption/loss in the end. It's also a reflection about untruths:

Shelves: fiction
I'll begin by saying I really enjoyed this book. I found it generally amusing and quite funny at points. I can't say I was incredibly attached to the characters, but the basic plot line was well done. What makes this book better than an "amusing read," in my opinion, is how it goes beyond simply being funny or being a novel of ideas. There are complexities within the simplicities. First of all, it's a book by an atheist in which the protagonist, an atheist, is writing a book "against God," i.e. ...more

I wish Wood considered himself a writer of fiction, rather than a ccritque, and writer of essays.After reading his December offering in the New Yorker, I knew I had to see what fiction he had written. This is the story of Thomas, a weak, lazy character with strong opinions, The only son of a son of a rector, Thomas is "working" on a PhD that never gets finished, and is happy to let his wife pay the bills, and carry on with being an adult.

A hard book to assess from the wise and articulate book critic for The New Republic. Preoccupied with religion & religious arguments (mostly against), with quite a bit about music as well (the main character's wife is a professional pianist), by one of my favorite critics, it's a book that ought to have been intensely interesting. Unfortunately, the main character is so incredibly (and I use this much overused--& misused--word advisedly) selfish & immature that it was hard to care mu ...more

Enjoyable and interesting. It has a sort of Nick Hornby sensibility in the nature of the main protagonist - particularly his dishonesty. But it has loftier aspirations than Hornby's work with a serious and earnest discussion as to the existence of God.
I think it slightly fails on both counts - it is not as likable or funny as Hornby but nor does it go deep enough into the existential questions. It is understandably not an easy dichotomy with which to wrangle which is why I maintain that it is a ...more

Recommends it for: theologians, philosophers
Shelves: fiction
I like reading Woods the critic and I liked reading his novel, but was surprised a bit by the tone of the novel. Despite its concern with theodicy it manages to be--almost--lighthearted. It pokes fun at academic life with a lead who owes a little to Ignatius J. Reilly, albeit in a more restrained, more English fashion. Which, really, is high praise. The theodicy debate goes unresolved of course as does the ending but it hardly matters as it's a fun read. Who would've guessed?
Apr 03, 2013 Robert Wechsler rated it liked it
Better than Id expected, and yet it was lacking something. The writing was good, and Woods handling of ideas was excellent. What seemed to throw a blanket over it all was the protagonist. Why did he have to portray an atheist as so unappealing, so lacking in everything: personality, courage, energy, cleanliness? It was sort of like loading the dice.

A very interesting novel. Though the title announces that it's about theology, and indeed there is a great deal of theological and philosophical content to chew on, the novel is really all about truth and lies. Lies especially.

Single mom aims to set good example
IRVINE – Spiderman jumps all over the walls above 5-year-old Jaydon's bunk bed and across his sheets. Two-year-old Dillon sets up epic duels between the web-shooting Spidey and Batman and the Batmobile.
Jaydon races around the apartment's living room in his socks, pointing at his puffed out chest and declaring himself "Flashboy."
The boys have no idea the woman raising them could rival Wonder Woman with her superpowers. Sharon Asta, 27, might not wear a cape or have bulletproof bracelets, but her feats of strength make sure her boys never want for anything.
Asta remembers living in a converted garage with her mother, surviving on tortillas and butter and little else. Shuffled between Missouri and California and parents, she says she escaped into an abusive relationship, only to leave that relationship pregnant.
Asta eventually found refuge at Casa Teresa in Orange, a home for pregnant, homeless women. The Salvation Army found Asta there, alone and unsure, and helped her through the birth of Jaydon.
Parenting classes helped the young, single mother survive the diapers and the feedings; the life skills training prepared her to live on her own. She learned to budget and save her money. But two years later, she left another abusive relationship only to find out she was pregnant again, she said.
The idea of raising two little ones alone was a nearly impossible thought. But the Salvation Army – and her faith – helped her through it.
"When I was lost, they gave me that little push that you can do it," Asta said. "And if you fall, we'll be there to help you up. They helped me grow up."
Dillon was born three days before Christmas – six weeks early. Two large bags of Christmas presents were waiting for Asta when she and the new baby came home – the work of the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is one of eight charities that will benefit from The Orange County Register's 2011 Season of Caring campaign. The charities will receive 100 percent of the funds raised during the campaign.
Asta's days are long, putting in 10 hours at work as a medical authorization coordinator in between raising her sons. She pays her bills on her own, without food stamps or child support, and saves what little she can. She's the one who sacrifices when sacrifices are needed, but low-income housing in Irvine gives her the break she needs to raise her family.
Asta now mentors young mothers through the Salvation Army and gives back what little she can to set a good example for her boys.
"As a single mother I feel like the odds are against me, raising two boys by myself," Asta said. "But I'm doing everything I can to keep them on the right track."
"Even though yesterday was your past," Asta said, "today can be your brand new future."

DescriptionGet Carter (MGM, 1971). British Quad (40" X 30"). Writer-Director Mike Hodges wanted violence with reality, which he delivers with real punch. This film is a hard-as-nails British crime movie, featuring a brutal performance by Michael Caine that stands as one of his best. Offered here is perhaps the best poster from the film, the British Quad with art by Arnaldo Putzu. The poster has been linen backed and was folded originally. There is little to no restoration done to this poster other than backing. Very Fine+ on Linen.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/13 -- It is widely known that online review sites and complaint boards, such as Yelp.com and Foursquare, are increasingly popular consumer destinations -- and increasingly influential in shaping consumer behavior and purchase decisions. As such, it is no great surprise that online reviews can directly impact a business' bottom line; according to a recent NBC Chicago report, however, many business owners are slow to accept the reality that, in today's world, online review monitoring and reputation management are essential for success. The report highlights four of the most common myths and misconceptions about online reviews -- and it has won a comment from Reputation Changer.
Reputation Changer is the foremost name in online reputation defense, and in its new press statement, President and COO Michael Zammuto notes that online reviews remain fairly nebulous and poorly understood. "Business owners know that these online reviews are out there, but many of them are unsure as to how those reviews impact their sales -- or, of what they can do to combat unwanted reviews," notes Zammuto. "At Reputation Changer, complaints and defamatory online reviews are regarded as grave threats to any brand's success, and as such, we advocate full education on matters related to online reviews and online reputation defense."
Zammuto goes on to address some of the particular points made in the NBC report. The first myth listed is that businesses are powerless to control the online reviews they receive. The article notes that, while businesses may not be able to exert any control over user-generated content, they can at the very least optimize their profiles on sites such as Yelp, ensuring that they reflect accurate and brand-enhancing information.
Zammuto says that companies can also proactively court positive reviews. "It is true that nobody can prevent bad reviews from happening, but you can work to ensure that, when a bad review surfaces, it is drowned out by dozens of positive ones," he remarks. "Businesses can improve their online standings simply by reaching out to their most faithful customers and clients, and asking them to submit some positive feedback."
The second myth listed in the article is that most online reviews are fake -- and therefore, they have no real impact on a business. "This is absolutely untrue," notes Zammuto. "While it is accurate to say that false online reviews abound, the veracity of a review matters very little when it comes to its effect on a business or brand. We have known of reviews that have been planted by business rivals, or even by disgruntled employees -- and they can still have a major impact."
The most dangerous myth listed in the article, according to Zammuto, is that business owners should respond to all of their negative reviews. "While it is a good practice to respond, publically, to positive reviews and even to constructive criticisms, responding to overwhelmingly negative and unreasonable reviews is a big mistake," he explains. "The reason for this is that a response simply draws more attention to the bad review in question, which only deepens the brand's online reputation management woes."
The Reputation Changer COO concludes by noting that, when beset by bad reviews and online complaints, brands have two real options -- to take a DIY approach to reputation repair, seeking to shore up as many positive reviews as they can, or else to consult with a company like Reputation Changer. "At Reputation Changer, complaints and negative reviews are dealt with promptly and effectively," Zammuto says. "Our goal, always, is to present the client in the best light possible."
Reputation Changer was developed and launched in 2009, by a team of online marketers and SEO professionals who shared a common goal: To provide companies, brands, and individuals with the tools needed to manage their online image. To this day, Reputation Changer is committed to providing its clients with control in how they are presented on the Web; the company is heralded as the #1 company of its kind, in the entire world.
