Before the holiday season gets too sugary, one concert stands out for a program of champagne clarity. Soprano Ruth Wilson-Francisco will give a recital tonight that may prove to be the sleeper of the season. It�s the second recital in the Unitarian Universalist series, performed in the beautiful prow-style sanctuary on San Juan Drive.
The program may be light on Christmas music but has many other delights. All in all, it will be a blessing before the onslaught of �Frosty the Snowman.�
Performing with pianist Nancy Thomas, Wilson-Francisco will open with a group of Scottish songs featuring the poetry of Robert Burns. She�ll follow with works by Mozart, Schubert and Handel. A set of five French songs by Faur� will be followed by works from two women composers, Liza Lehmann and Marian Bauer. Lightly brushing the surface of holiday music, Wilson-Francisco will conclude with �Judea,� �Star in the East,� and �Birth of Christ,� three works of early American Christmas music.
For a performer with an extensive cabaret background, this program leans toward Francisco�s classical side, with just a touch of astringency. My kind of concert.
If you�ve missed Wilson-Francisco�s occasional San Juan Symphony, Music in the Mountains, or Bach Festival appearances, here�s a chance to see and hear a fine recitalist.
Born in Cortez and brought up in Yellow Jacket on her parents� farm, Ruth Wilson showed musical talent from an early age. She attended and graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder and immediately completed a master�s degree � both in vocal performance.
After a year of teaching in Cortez, she decided it was now or never to fulfill a childhood dream and pursue a professional career as a singer in New York. From the beginning, she said in an interview, her parents supported her dream and her decision.
�I spent six years in New York City,� she said. �I worked with a singing coach, auditioned, sang as a church soloist, auditioned more and hired out as a professional ringer in choral groups.�
Like every aspiring New York artist, Wilson worked small jobs, most often as an office temp. Sometimes the auditions paid off, and she turned up some serious singing jobs, like a cabaret gig at Judy�s. But they, too, were often temporary. Two gigs were noteworthy: performing in Mozart�s �The Magic Flute� and being the first American soprano to be invited to sing at the Academy of Music and Dance in Bratislava, Slovakia. But overall, she admitted, the odds were not great for something more substantial.
�One of my college professors, Bib Spillman, told us that for every 75 rejections, you might get one yes. It took me some time to realize that it was not the money and not the fame. It has always been the music.�
So Wilson decided to leave the city and return to the West. For a time, she taught at the University of Wisconsin in Green Bay and sang professionally, particularly in Denver. In October 2003, she married Michael Francisco, a childhood sweetheart, and returned permanently to Cortez.
In the last several years, Wilson-Francisco�s parents have passed on. Her first CD, �On My Way To You,� was dedicated to her father, Arthur August �Runt� Wilson. Her second CD is titled �Sometimes.� The Franciscos are remodeling the farmhouse in which she grew up.
Wilson-Francisco maintains a private voice and piano studio in Cortez and directs the Southwest Players/Singers. Pianist Nancy Tomas also lives and works in Cortez and serves as organist for various churches in the area.
The UU recital series also features a sumptuous reception following the concert in the newly refurbished Bowman Hall.

In the six years since launching his line of Maui Brewing Co. canned brews, Garrett Marrero has religiously stuck to his company's motto of being "truly local, truly no ka oi."
Every ounce of beer that goes into a Maui Brewing Co. can is made on the island - a distinction he says makes him the largest local brewery in Hawaii.
That distinction has helped fuel an ever-increasing demand that has forced Marrero to rapidly expand over the years. And he's not done growing yet.

Maui Brewing Co. Director of Brewery Operations Darren Moser is dwarfed by 100-barrel, stainless steel finishing vats in the Lahaina brewery Friday morning.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
"Our company is highly committed to making the best possible beer truly authentic to Hawaii. We will never be produced on the Mainland and simply called Hawaiian," said Marrero, who founded the company in 2005 with his wife, Melanie, after buying an existing brew pub in West Maui.
Since 2005, Maui Brewing Co. has grown from a small, seven-barrel brew pub in Kahana to a thriving craft brewery with distribution of its locally made beers stretching across 11 markets nationwide and five international markets.
His next move is to expand production fivefold with a third production facility in South Maui.
"We simply cannot make enough beer to meet demand," said Marrero, 34. "It's a good problem to have, but still a problem."
The company has purchased a 2-acre plot of land in the Maui Research & Technology Park in Kihei, where it plans to build a brew house and eventually add a second brew pub.
Together with its existing Kahana location and production-and-canning facility in Lahaina town, Maui Brewing Co. expects to increase total production to 150,000 barrels a year.
"We'll hopefully break ground in February," Marrero said of the Kihei project. "The site plan is set, we've ordered equipment. It'll start out as a production facility, and we plan to add a pub down the line."
He said that the new facility will allow the company to make more than just beer.
"It will more than quintuple our production capacity, and at the same time, give us the capability to both distill and make ciders and mead for those that are gluten-free and can't drink beer; it's nice to have a way to service them as well."
Officials at the Research & Technology Park see the brewery as a complementary addition as the park works to attract a broader range of tenants and activities to the campus.
"We are very pleased that Maui Brewing Co. has chosen the Maui Research & Technology Park as the site for their expansion for several reasons. Maui Brewing Co. is great example of economic diversification, and probably the leading exporter we have on Maui behind (Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co.)," said Steve Perkins, project coordinator for Pacific Rim Land, a co-developer of the park.
"The Maui Brewing project will complement the R&T Park master plan update, which is nearing completion," Perkins said.
The park's updated master plan calls for a major shift from the existing traditional tech park to "an integrated and vibrant mixed-use community focused around a regional knowledge-based industry employment base."
At build-out, Marrero said he expects to create at least 80 new jobs, which will add to the company's existing 61 employees.
He said Maui Brewing Co. is on track to produce 24,000 barrels of beer this year, which is up from 18,000 barrels the year before.
"That already makes us the largest local producer in Hawaii," Marrero said.
He makes no secret that his jab about Mainland-brewed beer claiming to be local is aimed at Big Island beer giant Kona Brewing Co.
While Kona Brewing Co. expects sales to exceed 200,000 barrels this year, about 6 percent of that - or 12,000 barrels - is made in Hawaii, according to President Mattson Davis. The rest is brewed and distributed out of Washington state, Oregon and New Hampshire.
"We're always looking to be limiting in how we tax the resources of the islands," Davis said. "We think a lot about our impact on the environment."
He added: "I'm excited about (Garrett's) expansion. He is brewing more beer in Hawaii than anybody else is."
Marrero touts his company's eco-friendliness as well, noting that Maui Brewing Co.'s cans are manufactured on Oahu and designed by Maui artists. The cans have an added bonus of better protecting the beer from both light and oxygen damage, which he says can compromise taste. The company's packaging also uses a recyclable plastic carrying device in lieu of plastic rings and cardboard cases.
With all of the success Maui Brewing Co. is seeing, Marrero says he's thinking of passing some of that on to his local customers.
"We may do a small equity offering for Hawaii residents," he said.

Pain Management Health Center
Massage May Help Sore Muscles Recover
Feb. 1, 2012 -- There may be more to love about massage than just the "ahhhhh." A new study shows that kneading muscles after hard exercise decreases inflammation and helps your muscles recover.
The study hints that massage after exercise may help relieve soreness, and may also help muscles become fitter faster -- two benefits that have thus far been mutually exclusive in the "no pain, no gain" world of athletics.
For the study, researchers put 11 men through a hard bout of exercise. It was the kind of session that was tough to finish and would normally have made an athlete stiff and sore for a few days afterward.
Following their workouts, each man got a 10-minute, Swedish-style massage, but only on one leg. The other leg was rested and used for comparison. Researchers repeatedly sampled muscle tissue from both legs before and after exercise.
They used gene-profiling techniques to look for chemical changes in muscle cells. They saw two main differences between the legs that were massaged and those that were rested.
First, massage switched on genes that decrease inflammation. Many painkilling medications also work by blocking inflammation. Second, massage activated genes that promote the creation of mitochondria, structures that are the energy factories inside cells. The fitter a muscle cell is, the more mitochondria it tends to have.
Could Massage Boost Muscle Fitness?
"If someone starts an endurance exercise training program, after two or four months of training, depending on the intensity, you essentially double the volume of mitochondria in muscle," says researcher Mark A. Tarnopolsky, MD, PhD, a professor of pediatrics and head of Neuromuscular and Neurometabolic Disease at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Mitochondria, he says, help the cell to take up and use oxygen: "The muscles' ability to extract oxygen is proportional to the amount of mitochondria that are there."
"Exercise plus massage seems to enhance that pathway," Tarnopolsky says.
If further research can duplicate and expand on these findings, Tarnopolsky says that would mean that massage may be uniquely beneficial to muscle recovery and muscle growth.
In recent years, a number of studies have shown that remedies for muscle soreness that work by turning down inflammation -- things like ice baths or anti-inflammatory medications -- may also have a downside. They may also block muscle repair and growth, which depends on inflammation.
"People were starting to feel it was a one-to-one link: You suppress inflammation, you [lessen] adaptation," says Tarnopolsky. "But this appears to be an intervention that suppresses the inflammatory response but still allows, and actually enhances, the [recovery] response." The study is published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Rebecca Gayheart and her husband Eric Dane have welcomed their second child, a girl they've named Georgia Geraldine, the actress's rep tells PEOPLE.
Gayheart, 40, and Grey's Anatomy star Dane, 39, are already parents to daughter Billie Beatrice, who was born in March 2010.
"Rebecca Gayheart and husband Eric Dane welcomed Georgia Geraldine Dane on Dec. 28, just in time for the New Year!" the rep says. "Both mom and baby girl are happy and healthy, Billie is thrilled to be a big sister, and dad is getting ready to live in a house full of ladies!"
In August, an expectant Gayheart shared some details about her more relaxed second pregnancy.
"What's made it different is that I'm very focused on Billie … so I'm not very focused on [the pregnancy]. I'm not as neurotic," she told PEOPLE.
She also confessed to readying herself for the obstacles that awaited the couple as they prepared to parent two kids under the age of 2.
"I've heard that's very challenging. But I think I'm up for it," she said. "Eventually it's going to be great because they're going to be very close in age and very close, hopefully."
The pair announced the pregnancy in July.
It's a Girl for Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane!

You're suggesting that Franzen is anywhere close to Kesler and Parise and I need to back away from the keyboard.
Utterly ridiculous? No, what you just suggested is utterly ridiculous.
The only thing worse than a Holland apologist is a Franzen apologist.
You need to be medicated for this nonsense. Franzen is a gutless softie who has only put up the goals he's managed to because of the centers he's played with. When Datsyuk is on the ice, why pay attention to one of the biggest underachievers in hockey? He better put up some goals with those circumstances.
Strawman alert.
I didn't say Franzen was better than Parise, I actually clearly stated the opposite.
However I did point out with facts that Franzen has provided more value for his cap hit than Parise or Kesler this season.
I told you to step back from the Keyboard for stating that Kesler is 10 times the player PARISE is not Franzen.

Lang Lang
Heralded as the "hottest artist on the classical music planet" by the New York Times, the star, 29 year-old Lang Lang has played sold out recitals and concerts in every major city in the world and is the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic and all the top American orchestras.
Testimony to his success, Lang Lang recently appeared in the 2009 Time 100 – Time magazine's annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2008, over four billion people viewed Lang Lang's performance in Beijing's opening ceremony for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, where he was seen as a symbol of the youth and the future of China. This status has inspired over 40 million Chinese children to learn to play classical piano – a phenomenon coined by The Today Show as "the Lang Lang effect." Recognizing Lang Lang's powerful cultural influence, in 2008 The Recording Academy named him their Cultural Ambassador to China. Most recently, Lang Lang has been chosen as an official worldwide ambassador to the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and played at the opening ceremony.
For nearly a decade Lang Lang has been giving back to children around the world through volunteer activities as diverse as mentoring rising young talented pianists, convening 100 piano students in concert, performing for sick children in hospitals, delivering classical music recitals in underserved and remote communities, and donating his musical talents to raise awareness of other charitable causes. Lang Lang's charitable efforts led to the recent launch of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation with the mission of inspiring the next generation of classical music lovers and performers by cultivating tomorrow's top pianists, championing music education at the forefront of technology, and building a young audience through live music experiences. Through the strategic work of his new foundation which is committed to children and music education, Lang Lang works with exceptional partners to inspire young people to believe that music can make life better.
In 2011, the Lang Lang Music World was launched, which is a multi-functioning arts complex located in Shenzhen and Chongqing, China, where children can go to receive piano education, participate in master classes and competitions, attend concerts and purchase Lang Lang-brand educational products. With the mission of sharing Lang Lang's global view, experiences and knowledge in piano education, the Lang Lang Music World nurtures and provides exclusive opportunities for young talent through its unique platform.
His biography, Journey of a Thousand Miles, published by Random House in eleven languages, was released to critical acclaim. As part of his commitment to the education of children, he released a version of his autobiography specifically for younger readers, entitled Playing with Flying Keys.
Lang Lang has become the face of numerous global campaigns. Steinway has recognized Lang Lang's popularity with children by creating five versions of the "Lang Lang™ Steinway" designed for early music education. This is the first time in its 150-year history that Steinway has ever used an artist's name to produce pianos. Lang Lang is also a global brand ambassador for Sony Electronics, with whom he anticipates achieving innovative and creative possibilities for the future. He is proud to continue his relationship with Audi Automobiles as their Global Brand Ambassador.
Lang Lang began playing piano at the age of 3, his break into stardom came at age 17, when he was called upon for a dramatic last-minute substitution at the "Gala of the Century," playing a Tchaikovsky concerto with the Chicago Symphony. Following this gigantic debut, he performed successful concerts around the world. The Times in London remarked: "Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm… This could well be history in the making."
Lang Lang has performed for numerous international dignitaries including the former Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, President Barack Obama, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, William J. Clinton, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, President Hu Jin-Tao of China, President Horst Koehler of Germany, H.R.H. Prince Charles, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Poland President Lech Kaczynski. Most recently, he performed for President Barack Obama and President Hu Jin-tao at the White House State Dinner.
In 2004, Lang Lang was appointed International Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Lang Lang has contributed and worked to raise funds and awareness for earthquake relief efforts in China and Haiti. As Chairman of the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award Project, Lang Lang celebrates another aspect of arts commitment. He also currently serves on the Weill Music Institute Advisory Committee as part of Carnegie Hall's educational program and is the youngest member of Carnegie Hall's Artistic Advisory Board. He has been added as one of the 250 Young Global Leaders picked by the World Economic Forum and received the 2010 Crystal Award in Davos. In May 2011, Lang Lang received an Honorary Doctorate of Music from His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales at the Royal College of Music.
Lang Lang is the featured soloist on the Golden Globe® winning score "The Painted Veil" composed by Alexandre Desplat and can be heard on the soundtrack of "The Banquet" composed by Tan Dun. Most recently, he is the featured soloist on the movie "My Week With Marilyn". All of his albums have entered the top classical charts as well as many pop charts around the globe. In 2007, he was nominated for a Grammy® Award, becoming the first Chinese artist to be nominated for Best Instrumental Soloist. He was honored by The Recording Academy with the 2007 Presidential Merit Award; past recipients have included Zubin Mehta and Luciano Pavarotti. Lang Lang recently recorded the movie soundtrack of the Japanese blockbuster film "Nodame Cantabile," Chopin 24 Etudes for "Project Chopin" (the largest project in honor of Chopin's bicentenary) ,"Nuit De Mai" with Placido Domingo and performed the opening sequence for Gran Turismo, the most successful videogame of our time. In February 2010, Lang Lang joined Sony Music Entertainment as an exclusive recording artist; his first album with Sony features a live recording of his 2010 recital at Vienna's legendary Musikverein. He recently released his new CD "Liszt, My Piano Hero" and DVD "Liszt, Now!" to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the great composer.

Patty Duke Applies Online for Social Security and Medicare
After years of telling people they can apply online for Social Security in their pajamas, Patty Duke has taken her own advice. Duke, who turned 65 earlier this month, applied online for retirement and Medicare benefits from home at www.socialsecurity.gov.
I urge my fellow baby boomers to go online to www.socialsecurity.gov," said Duke. "If youre not sure how to get started on the computer, ask a loved one to help you out. I did, and it was so easy.

Social Security Applicants to Sign Release Forms Electronically
Beginning in April, many people applying for Social Security disability benefits will be able to sign and submit the Authorization to Disclose Information to Social Security (Form SSA-827) form electronically, as the last part of the online process.
Social Security requests more than 15 million medical records each year on behalf of people applying for disability benefits. A signed SSA-827 accompanies each request. By accepting electronically signed forms, medical providers will help their patients claims go through faster. On average, this should reduce disability application processing time by nine days per claim.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other applicable laws permit the use of electronic signatures, and Social Security is encouraging medical providers to treat the new electronic signature the same as they would a wet signature on the SSA-827.

Longshoremen returned to work at the Mount Pleasant and North Charleston terminals Thursday evening, roughly nine hours after walking off the job amid a labor dispute that threatened to disrupt supply chains across the globe.
The dock workers returned to work about 7 p.m., shortly after a federal judge signed an order, officials said.
Longshoremen walked off the job at Wando Welch and North Charleston terminals Thursday morning. The action was the result of an unspecified number of members of International Longshoremen's Association Local 1771 Clerks and Checkers being fired for not agreeing to expanded duties outside their labor contract, according to Ken Riley, president of ILA Local 1422 in Charleston.
Riley said the ILA workers were told about new duties on Wednesday. When they declined to accept the added duties Thursday morning, they were terminated, Riley added.
Clerks and checkers are charged with directing trucks that move in and out of the port. They are employed by stevedores, the third-party group that organizes and supervises the work done by longshoremen.
Early Thursday evening, U.S. District Judge David C. Norton signed a temporary restraining order that told ILA members to return to work at the terminals.
The complaint by the S.C. Stevedore Association claims the ILA workers actions are "causing irreparable damage."
Riley was not available for further comment Thursday night.
Even though the truck flow is determined by ILA workers, some apparently never left the job, since the tractor-trailers were still moving in and out of both terminal gates Thursday.
Some cargo already on dockside is handled by S.C. State Ports Authority workers, which are not part of ILA workforce.
Billy Adams Jr., executive director of the Stevedores Association, was not available for comment. Officials at ILA Local 1771 were also not available.
Riley said members of the Local 1422, which load and unload the shipping vessels, walked off the job Thursday as a sign of solidarity.
"We work in tandem with clerical," he said. "If they're not working, we are not working, either."
Around 9:40 a.m., members of the ILA walked off the job during vessel operations at the Wando Welch Terminal in Mount Pleasant, where one container ship was docked, and North Charleston Terminal, where there were two ships, said Allison Skipper, spokeswoman for the SPA.
The last local dockside work stoppage occurred Dec. 20 when longshoremen at the Wando Welch Terminal delayed unloading a ship for more than an hour in a show of solidarity with workers in third-world countries who labor in dangerous working environments for low pay, officials have said.
The union was joined in its protest by members of Occupy Charleston, who picketed outside the gates of the Wando Welch Terminal.
Work stoppages have a tremendous and often costly impact on supply chains, said Kent Gourdin, director of global logistics and transportation programs at the College of Charleston.
"It can have a pretty significant impact, since stuff is not moving," Gourdin said. "That means some customers can't get their goods."
He added that the supply chain is fragile and it doesn't take much to have an impact.
Work stoppages have been threatened by the ILA in the past.
The ILA represents roughly 14,500 workers at the Port of Charleston and 14 others that extend south from Boston. The union threatened to strike last year in protest of bitter negotiations about a new master labor contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, a group representing shipping lines, terminal operators and port associations.
The strike was averted and sides eventually agreed to a new contract.
There are no impacts to inbound or outbound truck gates at any of the SPA's terminals at this time, Skipper added in an e-mail.
The two terminals average about 5,000 transactions per day, she said.
Local 1771 has more than 200 members, according to its website.
Riley said Thursday's issue was unexpected. The ILA and other groups are still hashing out the remaining details in a new local labor contract.
The local contract is separate from the master contract ratified earlier this year by ILA and U.S. Maritime Alliance.

When I consider this list, I think about who would want to receive these books as holiday gifts, and why. Charleston was just selected as the No. 1 city in the world to visit. Part of the reason is Charlestons vibrant food scene, which is supported by wonderful resources. My choice of cookbooks reflects the strength of that culinary community.
I need the latest for a sister whos committed to eating local: Roots: The Definitive Compendium With More Than 225 Recipes.
The hard winter is around the corner. Even in coastal South Carolina, eating local in winter will mean lots of roots and greens. Taking each alphabetically, Diane Morgans guide to roots covers all the familiar, from beet, carrot, potato and parsnip to turnip, yam and yucca. Perhaps more interesting are the sections on what we consider the flavoring roots, such as horseradish, galangal, ginger and wasabi, which we often buy in a processed state. Purchased in their fresh state, they can really shake things up. Roots will change winters bleak culinary landscape. Hardcover. Chronicle Books. $40.
I need more than a cookbook for a foodie friend: Cook Fight: 2 Cooks, 12 Challenges, 125 Recipes.
The cover goes on to describe the book as an epic battle for kitchen dominance by New York Times writers Kim Severson and Julia Moskin, but its actually a very jovial series of culinary competitions that began with two Times articles. What makes the book great is not just the recipes; the writing skills of both women are top-notch, so the text accompanying each chapter is a tasty, humorous and sometimes snarky narrative. It starts with the Budget Challenge, their original Times duel over cooking a dinner party for six with a $50 budget. Subsequent chapters move through the Comfort Challenge, Vegetarian Challenge, Thanksgiving Challenge, to a total of 12. As at home on the bedside table as in the kitchen, Cook Fight is foodie fun. Hardcover. Ecco. $29.95.
I need something tres chic for a sophisticated culinary traveler: The Foothills Cuisine of Blackberry Farm.
Named the top resort in America last year by Travel and Leisure, Blackberry Farm is made up of 9,200 posh acres in the Tennessee Smokies near Knoxville. Much has been written, including in its first cookbook, about its divine food. In this second volume, however, Blackberry owner Sam Beall shares the behind-the-scenes story with recipes and wisdom from our artisans, and Smoky Mountain ancestors.
He presents the chapters in a years calendar driven by the Earths natural rhythms. Come Grass Time/cheesemaking. Planting Time/gardening. Lay-By Time. And so on. Its a beautiful visit to this luxury resort that cant be had in a just weekend or a week. Hardcover. Clarkson Potter/Publishers. $60.
I need a Vietnamese cookbook for a bachelor brother who loves banh mi: Vietnamese Home Cooking.
With serious chops as James Beard Best Chef California and member of the Beard Foundations Whos Who of Food and Beverage in America, author Charles Phan is chef/proprietor of San Franciscos hugely popular Slanted Door restaurant.

And your discovery will come with a fine education in the fabulously nuanced true tastes of the cuisine of Vietnam. Hardcover. Ten Speed Press. $35
I need a sure thing for a BFF whose job keeps her on the run: Barefoot Contessa Foolproof: Recipes You Can Trust.
Ina Gartens seven cookbooks with some 800,000 copies sold, and her nine years on the Food Network have sealed her reputation as a smart cook who makes a short recipe into a delicious dish with distinctive flair. It seems superfluous to discuss trusting her recipes. Suffice it to say that this is another super Garten effort, one that she says has recipes you will make with no stress.
So from cocktails through desserts, one simply has to decide what to try first, be it Crab Strudels, Fennel and Garlic Shrimp, or Salted Caramel Brownies. And thats just for starters. Foolproof indeed. Hardcover. Clarkson Potter/Publishers. $35.
I need the hottest book for a chef on my list: Salumi: The Craft of Italian Dry Curing.
Michael Ruhlman keeps very busy, as evidenced by this book and Bouchon Bakery. Co-written with Brian Polcyn, Salumi presents an ancient craft that is having a renaissance and delivers an explana-tion, tools, techniques and formulas. Working from a whole hog breakdown Italian-style perspective, they present the Big Eight: guanciale (jowl), coppa (neck/shoulder/loin), spalla (shoulder), lardo (back fat), lonza (loin), tenderloin, pancetta (belly), prosciutto (ham, back leg), and salami (products made from ground or cut pieces of pork). Like their earlier collaboration, Charcuterie, Salumi will become a permanent part of any serious culinary library. Hardcover. W.W. Norton & Company Inc. $39.95.
I need the ultimate baking book: Bouchon Bakery.
If you have ever had the pleasure of going to one of Thomas Kellers Bouchon bakeries, you understand the excitement surrounding the publication of this cookbook.
The book begins with pastries the home cook can see as possible, cookies and shortbread, before laying down French macarons. Then moves to scones and lots of muffins, before covering pumpkin muffins in fondant to make pumpkins. And so it goes, slowly through cakes and tarts to pate a choux, brioche dough to puff pastry. By the time the nine pages on croissants come along, croissants actually seem accessible. Then its on to breadmaking.
There are abundant mouth-watering color pictures.
Written by Thomas Keller, Thomas Keller Restaurant Group executive pastry chef Sebastien Rouxel, and head bread baker Matthew McDon-ald, with Michael Ruhlman, Bouchon Bakery is deliciously educational. Hardcover. Artisan. $50.
I need the right book for the curious cook: The Best of Americas Test Kitchen 2013.
I almost always have one of Chris Kimballs cookbooks on my top list. Maybe its because Ive been a fan of his magazine, Cooks Illustrated, since its inception. Or maybe, because I like reading the analysis of how a recipe made it to Best Recipe Category from the some 1,000 new ones tested each year by his book, television and magazine test kitchens. Best equipment ratings, ingredient tastings and interesting discoveries are included. It simply begs you to dig in. Hardcover. Americas Test Kitchen. $35.

OK, who out there has aspired to plant an organic vegetable garden but has no idea how to start?
Four gardening tips
Here is some gardening advice from Rita Bachmann of Rita's Roots Backyard Harvest:1. Start with the soil: "You want really good soil with lots of live compost, not from bags. It's my opinion, but I don't think being housed in plastic for a long time has a lot of life in it," Bachmann says.2. Keep it simple: "Don't try to overwhelm yourself at the beginning. Pick a couple of vegetables you're interested in and learn about them. Each vegetable is a little different. Some you start from seeds, some you plant in January, February or March."3. Visit your garden every day: "Even spend time hand watering it because you really get to look at the plants and keep an eye on them, identify bugs, see if they turn yellow." 4. Get high-quality seeds and plants: "I always think it's better to order seeds from a commercial catalog. Johnny's and Baker Creek are my favorites. They sell heirloom varieties. They sell to commercial growers, so their seeds are very high quality.."
Or actually planted one and failed miserably?
Probably a significant portion of readers would raise their hands in the affirmative to one of those questions.
Having a vegetable garden, and perhaps a few fruit trees or bushes, seems so simple, right? Grandpa reaped harvests. Hipster adults are starting community gardens.
Why not you?
Because it's not as easy getting started as it may seem.
Help has arrived in what appears to be an offshoot of the local food movement: garden coaches.
While professional gardeners have been making a living in Charleston for decades, if not centuries, they have focused primarily on nonedible ornamentals and are more like hired help. Coaches offer their expertise to help you get started and, ideally, want you and your family helping out.
Think of the old saying: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Rita to the rescue
Thirty-year-old Rita Bachmann is among the local experts who has been food garden coach for a year.
Despite being relatively young, Bachmann brings a decade of experience to the table, er garden, and developed quite a loyal local following with Rita's Roots CSA (community supported agriculture) before moving to Virginia in 2010 for a year.
With the CSA, Bachmann had a knack for communicating with customers, who often asked her questions about gardening. After moving back in 2011 and working part-time for Sweet Bay Produce, a hydroponic lettuce farm, she and her father conjured up the idea for a business being a residential garden coach.
Seizing on the recognition of Rita's Roots, she called the business "Rita's Roots Backyard Harvest," but jokes that she considered calling it, "The Garden Fairy."
"I sent out an email to my old CSA customers that I was going to do garden coaching and to set up organic gardens in people's yards. The responses were good enough that I was able to quit the job with the steady paycheck and do Rita's Roots Backyard Gardens."
Bachmann, who also works part time as a mentor at Lowcountry Local First's Dirt Works Incubator Farm, is working with 15 families across the Charleston area from the Isle of Palms to Folly Beach. Her going rate is $50 an hour, but includes a lot of planning, planting and preparation off the clock.
The process starts with a meeting with homeowners in the yard and talking about what they want and where so that Bachmann can diagram a plan and then prepare beds. She takes them through the steps from soil preparation to watering properly, weeding, staking and pruning.
"We go through the whole growing season together, so they can understand," Bachmann says.
She adds that her coaching also reflects the distinct growing environment of the Lowcountry.
"The seasons are so tricky down here. It's taken nine years of learning to get where I am today. We live in a microclimate on the coast. We're in between (U.S. Department of Agriculture planting) zones ... and our season usually starts early and goes fast. You have to get plants in before temperatures heat up too fast," says Bachmann, adding that July and August are "so sweltering that nothing wants to grow."
Growing gardeners
One family that she's worked with for a year already is the Walldorfs of Sullivan's Island.
"We're trying to grow our own stuff and eat our own food, but we were struggling," recalls Jena Walldorf, noting that she found out about Bachmann through Mickey Brennan at The Sprout in Mount Pleasant.
On a cool spring afternoon two weeks ago, the Walldorf garden was brimming with sweet peas, carrots, kale, strawberries and other seasonal produce. Besides the food, another benefit for parents and Bachmann herself is that she encourages involving children in the process.
Walldorf's young daughters, Kate and Evie, love when "Miss Rita" comes over, usually once every two weeks. As some studies are starting to show, children who garden also tend to be more likely to eat vegetables and fruits.
"If they grow it, they will eat it," Walldorf says. "They will pick stuff right out of the garden and eat it. They ate carrots before, but they love the purple carrots out of the garden ... and they will drink anything that I juice — kale, whatever — that I get out of the garden."
Bachmann has become such a part of the girl's life that their teacher wants her to come back and talk to their classes at Ashley Hall School.
"Rita ... not only helps us, but teaches us what we're supposed to be doing. My hope is that when I get older I'll be the gardening grandma," Walldorf says.
Meanwhile, one of Bachmann's newest clients, Anne Bennett, lives just two doors away from the Walldorfs.
"I've been thinking about doing a garden and kept putting it off," says Bennett, recalling a nightmarish failed attempt six years ago. "When I heard about Rita, I thought, 'This is my chance.' Rita came out, and we consulted and came up with a plan. I'm really, really excited."
Different approaches
Bachmann isn't alone in her endeavor. But just like every CSA is a tad different, garden coaches are, too.
Nate Davis, 33, is taking his experience on farms from the past four years, including Thornhill Farms in McClellanville, and applying it not only in organic fruit and vegetable gardens, but mobile livestock housing, soil and pasture fertility, grazing management and composting.
Like Bachmann, he strongly believes his role is in teaching others to do for themselves.
"When I tell people that they can grow more food in their suburban backyard than they can eat in a season, it excites them, but most just don't know how to get started," Davis says.
"For societal and economic reasons, folks want to eat better and want to know where their food comes from. Having a backyard garden is a big part of that."
Germaine Jenkins of Urban Veggucation, who was featured on the cover of Saturday's People section in The Post and Courier, is focused on helping teach people gardening techniques, including methods used in permaculture, and connecting them with resources for free or inexpensive seeds, plants and tools.
The new wave
Elizabeth Beak of Crop Up does limited coaching for home gardens, focusing more efforts on community garden projects, but says food gardens in yards are an emerging and important part of the local food movement.
"Not since the victory garden movement in the 1940s have people been this interested in growing their own," says Beak, noting that the Palmetto State has an even longer heritage of homeowners growing their own food.
She pointed to a guidebook called "The Southern Gardener," published in 1871 by Dr. Henry Ravenel.
"This was used to help homeowners grow their own food after the Civil War, because many of the plantations and farms had been destroyed. In the 1940s, some 215,000 'victory gardens' were planted in South Carolina cities and towns in response to food shortages and transportation issues during World War II.
"Today, with rising health care costs, we see a renewed interest and need for good, clean, and fair food."
Rita Bachmann of Rita's Roots Backyard Harvest particularly enjoys working with kids, including Kate and Evie Walldorf of Sullivan's Island, in helping cultivate not only fresh food but future gardeners. David Quick/postandcourier.com×
The Walldorf kids are even more avid vegetable eaters, especially fresh purple carrots, after working with Rita Bachmann on a backyard garden at their house on Sullivan's Island. David Quick/postandcourier.com×

Are Older Alien Cams Safe?
Would you trust CCH Alien cams that were produced after the dimpled batch and are marked tensile tested? Also, can re-testing weaken your hardware?
As you know, CCH Aliens with the center-punch dimple on the ball below the axle were recalled after the brazing on some of these units failed. CCH said the failures were caused by rapidly quenching the braze in water, instead of slowly cooling it in oil. Aliens are now under new ownership and use different manufacturing, so the problem is limited to the older units. So, yes, I would trust the new units, which is good news for me because these little devils remain the backbone of my small rack for micro placements. Retesting can damage your gear, but that depends on the test. A simple pull test at 50 or 75% rated strength won't hurt the gear, but if it is tested to destruction ... you get the idea.

The Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games
The Opening Ceremonies at the Olympic Games are an extraordinary and intricately choreographed extravaganza, featuring an amazing explosion of colour and music, which allow the host nation scope to showcase its uniqueness, while adhering to various protocols that have evolved since the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.
Athens 1896 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony - Arrivals of the officials in the pan-Athenian stadium (c) IOC
The Opening Ceremony attracts hundreds of millions of television viewers worldwide, as well as tens of thousands of delighted and enthralled spectators inside the Olympic stadium. It is also – first and foremost – a majestic show, through which each host nation exhibits its culture, history, achievements and, often, its sense of humour.
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony - Entrance of the delegation of Great Britain (c) Kishimoto/IOC
Proudly led by their flag bearers, countries' delegations then parade around the stadium track. There are then a number of protocols and rituals that must be performed: the Games must be declared open by the host nation's head of state; the Olympic flag must be carried into the stadium and raised; the Olympic oath must be spoken by an athlete, judge and coach; and doves of peace must be symbolically released.
London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony - Entrance of the Olympic flag (c) IOC/R. Juilliart
Next comes the most anticipated moment of the night: the culmination of the torch relay, during which fans finally discover which famous figure will light the Olympic flame – something that is always kept a well-guarded secret. Inevitably, a gigantic fireworks display brings the curtain down on the ceremony to launch a fortnight of elite sporting competition.

On 7 February 2014, the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi adopted a historical theme, portraying Russian achievements such as industrialisation, space exploration and the foundation of St. Petersburg, and celebrating great authors and composers, all seen – in 13 distinct parts – through the eyes and dreams of a young girl named Lyubov (which means "love" in Russian).

After President Vladimir Putin had declared the Games open, three-time gold medallists Irina Rodnina (figure skating) and Vladislav Tretiak (ice hockey lit the Olympic cauldron together outside Fisht Stadium, ), accompanied by the music from Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.
London 2012 Opening Ceremony
Humour played a prominent part in the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, an extravaganza conceived by film director Danny Boyle. British history was covered in detail, with the country's green and pleasant land giving way to the Industrial Revolution and the age of the Internet.
London 2012 Opening Ceremony (3) (c) IOC/R. Juilliart
Great Britain's contribution to modern music was recognised with homages to and appearances from home-grown global rock and pop stars, culminating in a memorable performance from Sir Paul McCartney, who sang "Hey Jude" with help from the enraptured audience.
Other famous figures who made their mark on the evening included Mr Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson), who wreaked havoc during the London Philharmonic Orchestra's rendition of "Chariots of Fire", and Queen Elizabeth II, who was collected by James Bond (Daniel Craig) at Buckingham Palace, before parachuting from a helicopter above the Olympic stadium, and then magically appear in the grandstand a few seconds later.
Vancouver 2010 Opening Ceremony
The Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games was held in Vancouver's impressive BC Place Stadium. It began in stunning fashion with Canadian snowboarder Johnny Lyall, who was seen shooting down a mountain slope on a giant screen, before appearing in the flesh to leap through giant Olympic rings.
Vancouver 2010 Opening Ceremony (c) IOC/J. Huet
The ceremony's culmination was equally remarkable, as a quartet of Canadian sporting legends – Catriona Le May-Doan (speed skating), Steve Nash (basketball), Nancy Greene (Alpine skiing) and Wayne Gretzky (ice hockey) – joined forces to light the Olympic cauldron. Gretsky then took the flame across Vancouver to light a second cauldron in Jack Poole Plaza in the town's waterfront district, so that the Canadian public could admire it for the duration of the Games.

Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremony
Against the magnificent backdrop of the "Bird's Nest" Olympic Stadium, Beijing's Opening Ceremony began at 8.08 on 08/08/08 with 2008 drummers, much to the delight of the locals in the audience, given that eight is traditionally a lucky number in China.
Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremony (c) Getty
The sublime spectacle, which made use of 14,000 extras, retraced 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation. Athletes paraded with their flags, including Chinese basketball star Yao Ming, who held the hand of a child who had been caught up in the traumatic earthquake that had struck Sichuan in May that year.

China's President Hu Jintao declared the Games open, before the country's legendary gymnast Li Ning was hoisted by wires towards the Olympic cauldron to light the flame, all the while seemingly running horizontally along the stadium walls.

This is a very special location. The apt is within walking distance from all major attractions. Buy groceries downstairs, do a larger shopping behind the first corner, run in the park or just take 10 minutes walk to Old Town Square, National Theatre, National Museum or just take 5 minute walk and shop in the very center of this cultural heritage. Anyways, this place will make your stay memorable!
If you fancy even less walking than that, you can go one stop by tram to all mayor tourists attractions. Not sure where to go, what to eat etc? If you don`t want to lose time wondering about these things, let me help you with your travel plans and recommend places that you would hardly ever find in a Lonely Planet guide or any guide. Weather you are coming to Prague as a regular eager to see high lights tourist, or a person curious about local pubs, cultural melting points and places off the known track, I will be happy to help!
Around this place, there are great czech, greek and intalian restaurants. Very close to this place is Artemis, one of the best Greek restaurants in Prague. Also, in the vicinity, there is Ceska Beseda, which is a bit more pricy, but they really serve great food.
The apartment has a fully-fitted kitchen (oven, microwave, fridge, utensils, etc.), separate toilet, separate closet (wardrobe) and the following amenities:
- Free WiFi internet
- Hair Dryer
- Shampoo & Conditioner
- Electric Kettle
- Several type of tea (Earl Grey, Lipton, Green Tea & Fruit Tea)
- Instant Coffee
- Sugar, Salt & Pepper
- Iron and Ironing Board
- Toilet Paper and Paper Towel
- Washer
- Extra bed linens (Pillow Cases, Bed Sheets & Comforter Cover)
- Clean towels (Each guest will receive 1 set of bath and hand towel. If a guest is staying longer than 5 nights, he/she will be provided with a new towel set every 6th night)
Feel free to help yourself with what's available in the kitchen. Some items may vary from time to time. If you replenish what you consume, it is appreciated but if you don't, it is fine.
CAUTION: due to an increase of complains in Prague, I strongly discourage you from using taxies in Prague, unless you negotiate the price in advance. Please be advised that taxi rates within the center should not exceed 9USD.
CAUTION2: in Prague, there are many money exchange companies that rip off tourists. I suggest you either take money from ATM or use XCHANGE in Jindrisska street, Prague 1 (very close to Wenceslas Square)

Die durchaus schöne Wohnung hat leider einige Baustellen. Alle notwendigen Reparaturen sind für sich gesehen allein nicht gravierend, aber die Vielzahl stört doch ein wenig. Der Vermieter sollte dieses Mängel in Ordnung bringen, denn sie trüben den ansonsten guten Eindruck etwas. Das "Rappeln" der Straßenbahn kann Leute nerven, die einen leichten Schlaf haben. Das ist in der Prager Innenstadt aber total normal.
Andreas ist sehr hilfsbereit und hat besonders im Vorfeld viele gute Tipps gegeben. Die Anreise mit eigenem PKW ist schwierig, da man entweder gar nicht oder nur sehr teurer legal parken kann. Und wenn der Parkplatz nicht bewacht ist, lauern leider Einbrecher, wie wir bei einem anderen Prag-Besucher feststellen mussten.mussten. Gesamtfazit: Die Wohnung ist gut, könnte aber nach Mängelbeseitigung noch besser sein.
We enjoyed our stay during the Christmas period. During the check-in day there was work at the electricity in the building. But finally everything workout fine.
The rooms are neat, clean and large enough. We could even cook our Christmas dinner quite easy with the equipped kitchen.
As surprise we had a plastic christmas tree which we decorated for a nice atmosphere.
The location was perfect; close to the city center and from our appartment we enjoyed walks to all area's around us.
During Christmas some shops and restaurants were closed in the district, but we already expected this. At Zizkov and Namestu Miru there were two great more 'local' christmas markets. We loved our stay and contact with the host for check-in was clear and fine. Thank you for our nice stay.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
plus: well furnished appartment; well equipped kitchen; friendly hosts
minus: bathroom ceiling moulded; second sleeping room is very tiny and bed within it jars
Very uncomplicated Check in, although we were a little imprecise about our article time

A Knightsville Elementary educator has received a $1 million verdict after bringing a civil suit against Dorchester County School District Two.
Former teacher and assistant principal Mary Rita Watson alleged the district did irreparable damage to her reputation by demoting her in the wake of a child abuse case. Watson was charged with failure to report in 2009, but was later cleared of the charge.
In 2012, she filed suit against the district.
She alleged the school district and the sheriffs office knew there was no basis for a criminal prosecution but forged ahead to mollify two parents in powerful positions.
I am relieved and appreciate that someone finally listened to my story, Mary Rita Watson said in a prepared statement.
Attorney Gregg Meyers of Jeff Anderson and Associates represented Watson in a civil lawsuit against the school district alleging abuse of process, and released a statement about the verdict Wednesday.
Meyers argued that Watson is the primary provider for her family of five children and after being charged with the crime of failing to report child abuse, she was unable to find a job and was 10 years from retirement.
District officials have not yet commented on the decision.
Meyers said Watson has applied for numerous administrative positions both within and outside the district. They just choose not to hire her because of (the charge), he said. Its really hampered her ability even to find another job, he said.
The civil suit sought back pay, reinstatement to a comparable position and special damages to compensate for the humiliation of being paraded before the news cameras.
In South Carolina, state law caps damages at $300,000 but Meyers asked the jury for $1 million to make it clear to the school district that their actions were unacceptable. The jury agreed and after an hour-long deliberation returned a $1-million verdict in Watsons favor.
We appreciate the jury was very clear on telling the district they cannot treat their employees that way, Meyers said in the statement.

Many an idiot as made the mistake of trying DIY only to have wasted time and money with no satisfying end result.
Oh no! Dad's going to try to fix the car DIY. Remember the last time he did that? Take cover!

NEW ORLEANS � The Harbaugh family sure knows how to throw a Super party.
In the end, it was older brother John Harbaugh and his Baltimore Ravens who came out on top, hanging on for a 34-31 win over Jim Harbaugh and his San Francisco 49ers in a Super Bowl that had everything.
After the game, John Harbaugh said it was hard to compete against his brother.
The brothers met at midfield as the confetti rained down. �I told him I loved him,� John said. �He said, �Congratulations.�
Jim Harbaugh later declined a postgame interview with CBS, but spoke a few minutes later.
He took the loss hard, raised several questions about calls and non-calls made by the officials, but said �We want to handle this with class and grace.
�Had several opportunities in the game. Didn�t play our best game. Ravens made a lot of plays,� he said.
�Our guys battled back to get back in it. We competed and battled to win.�
With mom Jackie and dad Jack watching from somewhere in the Superdome, the Harbaugh brothers put on a championship game to remember.
First it was the Ravens who raced to a 28-6 lead after Jacoby Jones returned the second-half kickoff a Super Bowl-record 108 yards for a score.
Then came a power outage, which delayed the game for 34 minutes.
Jim Harbaugh�s 49ers went on a surge of their own, and younger brother Jim had John on the ropes. The 49ers pulled within 31-29 in the fourth quarter, but just couldn�t come up with one more play to pull off what would have been the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.
Asked how he felt moments after the win, the winning Harbaugh said �How do you think it feels? It feels just like you think. It feels great!�
And what about his brother?
�It�s tough. It�s very tough,� John Harbaugh said.
�It�s a lot tougher than I thought it was going to be. It�s very painful.�
The leadup to this game was all about the Harbaughs � the first time siblings had coached against each other in the championship game. Every day for nearly two weeks, the two were asked about each others� careers � John was forthcoming, Jim not so much. Even their parents got in the act with their own new conferences.
The Harbaugh family theme was: �Who has it better than us?�
Certainly no family in the NFL.

A Hamburg attorney is part of a group of lawyers across New York State that is preparing a lawsuit to fight Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's new gun control laws.
Jim Tresmond said the coalition of attorneys is targeting how the just-passed SAFE Act violates the Fifth Amendment, which protects against abuse of government authority in a legal procedure.
The government, Tresmond said, "is restricted from taking anything without due process or without just compensation for what is being taken."
Cuomo's gun legislation put an outright ban on high-capacity magazine clips, for instance. Any clip sold in the state can now only have the capacity to hold seven rounds, and gun owners with existing 10-round clips can load only seven rounds in them.
The new legislation also bans semiautomatic weapons with one or more military-style feature from being sold, but current owners of such firearms are allowed to keep them, as long as they register them within a year. Owners of such weapons are allowed to sell such weapons out of state.
"The way we view it," Tresmond said, "we're just one tick away from [the government] taking everything. If we allow the government to go ahead and take anything without due process, without just compensation, that's an erosion of our civil rights."
The attorneys have not determined whether they will file the suit at the state or federal level. They expect it will be ready in three to four weeks.
"We're reviewing the legislation very carefully right now," he said. "How the government will go about identifying people now with illegal clips, how they are being compelled to turn them in, sell them out of state, register [firearms], we're reviewing that."

Is there something equivalent to the get_current_cell method from class cl_gui_alv_grid for
I would like to get the index of the internal table that was selected,
with a single click, actually I'm getting that using
p_selfield-tabname in user_command, but this is triggered only with double click.
Hi karina,
also in OO grid you need some event to trigger get_current_cell method, at least ENTER (or F1, F4). You can define columns as HOTSPOT, that needs no double- only single click.
If you want to use ENTER, F1 or F4 then you must access the grid object using FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR', register the respective events and implement event handlers. You can start with CL_ALV_GRID as well.
Thanks Clemens, now I'm trying with GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR,
and get_current_cell method, but still can't figure out how can I implement just a single click on the cell
I have a custom search help attached to the field, so I can't define the column as hotspot, but I think that using F4 the issue will be solved. How can use it? Sorry I'm not familiar with OO
Hi karina,
mo_grid->register_edit_event( i_event_id = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_evt_enter ).
You will need an event handler class:
CLASS lcl_event_receiver DEFINITION. PUBLIC SECTION. METHODS: handle_toolbar FOR EVENT toolbar OF cl_gui_alv_grid IMPORTING e_object e_interactive, "#EC NEEDED handle_user_command FOR EVENT user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid IMPORTING e_ucomm, "#EC NEEDED handle_double_click FOR EVENT double_click OF cl_gui_alv_grid IMPORTING e_row e_column, "#EC NEEDED hotspot_click FOR EVENT hotspot_click OF cl_gui_alv_grid IMPORTING e_row_id e_column_id es_row_no. "#EC NEEDED PRIVATE SECTION. ENDCLASS. "lcl_event_receiver DEFINITION CLASS lcl_event_receiver IMPLEMENTATION.

We've been hearing rumblings from some users about the upload (put) and/or download (get) process failing during FTP file transfer in Dreamweaver CS5.5. If you are having trouble uploading your files to or downloading your files from you server, consult this tech note for a number of possible solutions. You'll want to make sure you step through the recommended solutions in order as you troubleshoot your upload/download problem.
Adobe has further identified particular failures amongst those using GoDaddy as their web host. The failure is usually indicated by the message "File activity incomplete" in the Background File Activity window, and the FTP Log in Dreamweaver showing an error similar to the following: "An FTP error occurred – cannot put '/index.html'. Access Denied."
The issue seems to be affecting only those files you might be trying to put to/get from the root folder of your FTP server. For example, you may be able to put files to the /wwwroot/css/ subfolder, but not to /wwwroot/. The problem also occurs despite the fact that you can perform the same action (e.g. uploading a file) using another FTP client, such as FileZilla or an older version of Dreamweaver.
If you are a GoDaddy user and experiencing this issue, see Solution 3: Move or delete any symbolic links in the above referenced tech note.

Taisho Bistro, which opened in November, adds a few new words to the local Japanese culinary lexicon. Let's start with izakaya, a style of Japanese restaurant designed to feed sake drinkers. The lavishly illustrated menu offers lots of small dishes, blue-collar grub, plus iconic Japanese snack foods and others designed with sharing in mind – and alcohol is optional.
The interior has been done up in warm wood and cool blue and purple, with snazzy hanging lamps. A suit of samurai armor is displayed behind glass by the entrance to the tatami room, where one may sit on the floor Japanese-style and eat at a low table.
At Taisho Bistro, you can learn about takoyaki ($5). They're spherical racquetball-sized dainties, crispy outside and oozingly tender inside, hiding nubs of chewy octopus.
They arrive drizzled with mayonnaise and a sweet brown Japanese barbecue sauce, and topped with flakes of smoky dried bonito, shaved so thin they waver in the heat rising from the piping-hot fritters. They're a big bite each, which is potentially hazardous to rookies because you must let them cool, or run the risk of tastebud blisters. The collision of savory, sweet, smoky, crispy and creamy is intense.
You'll also find okonomiyaki ($6), a thick, savory pancake studded with shrimp, cabbage, pork and more. It's dressed like takoyaki. It was tasty in a messy way, though ours wasn't cooked through the middle in either of two visits.
One of the fun aspects of the menu is its selection of yakitori, or grilled skewers. They're small, just snacks. There are 20 listed on the menu, from $1.25 to $3.50 each. Notables include chicken skin grilled until crispy ($1.25), a guilty pleasure, and scallion ($1.25) grilled until slightly charred, doused with sweet soy and surprisingly tasty.
We ordered yakitori combinations for the best value. At $14 for 10 skewers, set A included chicken meatball, chicken, scallion, whole head-on shrimp and beef; set C included sausage, squid legs, chicken and scallion. Diners had an interesting time exploring the familiar and unfamiliar, but the chicken, chicken skin, beef, scallions and sausage – like Vienna sausages – were all hits.
More filling are the rice dishes, including oyako don ($6.50), another blue-collar hit that tops rice with braised chicken, sweet soy onions and a fried egg. The younger eaters at our table enjoyed this entirely accessible dish. Its cousin, the pork katsu don ($7), substituted a crispy fried pork cutlet for the chicken, and I wished it was crispier.
The house ramen noodle soup ($6.75) found favor too, with familiar noodles in a mild broth topped with slices of soft pork belly, half an egg and a slice of fish cake with its characteristic pink spiral.
The shrimp and vegetable tempura ($6) was two big shrimp in a crispy batter with several pieces of vegetable, including sweet potato and broccoli. It was another hit with the junior chow squad, but with only adequate frying, it was unable to achieve greaseless perfection.
We ordered one fancy sushi roll, the Legend Roll ($16). It held tempura lobster and avocado, spicy mayonnaise and sweet sauce, then topped with bruleed scallop. Each piece was a rich, triumphant bite.
The kimchee udon ($8.75), a stir-fried noodle dish, had gotten a decent ride in a wok to intensify its glaze but seemed to want more kimchi.
Servers were notably cheery and solicitous. Meals opened with a hot towel delivered to each diner to cleanse hands. Instead of orange wedges, peeled litchi fruits arrived with the check.
Taisho Bistro offers diners a splendid chance to expand their Japanese vocabulary.

The Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey through life. In the myths and legends that are retold here, renowned translator Robert Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the general reader, and to captivate a new generation of Homer's students.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Robert Fagles is the best living translator of ancient Greek drama, lyric poetry, and epic into modern English. (Garry Wills, The New Yorker)
Mr. Fagles has been remarkably successful in finding a style that is of our time and yet timeless. (Richard Jenkyns, The New York Times Book Review)
