Restaurant Review: Dragonfly Neo-V
I have long stalked the Dragonfly Neo-V Web site to read its seasonal menus and day dream about eating there. Almost immediately, the restaurant made its way onto my "places to eat" list, and unfortunately, it stayed there for many years. Last Friday, I was finally able to cross it off.
After a nine-hour trip from Atlanta to Columbus—a pit stop on our way to Youngstown, Ohio—Justin and I rolled into Columbus for our first meal at Dragonfly Neo-V. Upon walking in the door, we were immediately greeted by a friendly and attentive staff who made the previous hour we spent in traffic disappear from our memories immediately.
We selected our appetizer, hon shemeji mushrooms served calamari style, but before the plate arrived, we were surprised by an amuse-bouche from the chef—a bite of pasta that tasted of the sea and sesame.
The mushrooms arrived shortly after and were unlike any type I have tried before. They had a chewy texture that wasn't lost under the crunchy coating on the outside or the tomato stew that rested beneath the mushrooms. It's one of the most delicious appetizers I have ever tried.
As we do in many restaurants, Justin and I ordered two entrées to share. One was the poached French trumpet mushroom risotto, which had a rich and intense flavor.
The other was handmade gnocchi served with barnier olives, confit garlic, roasted pepper, and a lentil purée. I wasn't blown away by the first bite of the gnocchi alone, but I quickly realized that I was eating it all wrong. Each bite needed a piece of every element on the plate in order to fully enjoy the dish.
For dessert—because you can't skip dessert at a restaurant you've been waiting years to visit—we decided to share the apple empanadas, served with a side of apple sorbet and a lavender gimlet to wash it all down. The empanadas had one of the most perfect pastry crusts I have ever seen, and the tartness of the sorbet balanced out the cream sauce on the empanadas.
Every dish we enjoyed at Dragonfly was spot on. The chef doesn't serve fussy or fancy. Instead, the focus is on cooking natural ingredients (and seasoning them) perfectly and layering flavors to create a more complex dish. I now realize it's a shame that I've waited years to visit this restaurant, and I hope it won't be many years before I return.
If you won't be in the Columbus area any time soon, then check out DragonFlyNeoV.com to learn more about the restaurant's cookbook. According to the site, it will be out next year.
Commenting is closed.
In San Antonio, Texas, there is a new vegetarian restaurant called Green, and I absolutely love it! I thought going vegetarian/vegan would be difficult because I wouldn't be able to eat out anywhere, but I'm so glad I can. 😀 And they have the most delicious vegan desserts. Yumm! I just wanted to nominate this Green restaurant, sorry if this is spamming. :0

Thanks for the great description of Dragonfly! Your review and the pictures got my wife and I interested in eating there tonight. We did and it was awesome! My first time eating vegetarian.
You're review is spot on! Dragonfly is one of the few good reasons we love living in Columbus. My husband and I find any excuse to eat there and the food is always amaaaazing and the staff is always super friendly.
They just opened "On the Fly" next door to them, a casual counter style verion of Dragonfly-we plan on trying that next week for lunch!
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
Wow, you blog is exeptional in regards to creating tasty meals that dont take your waistline to the next notch but rather your on point effectiveness in life from being happy with the way you look from basically eating proper.
I have been serching for recipes to add to my site in respect to the concepts of the glycemic index and I think your site is perfect.
Sweet blog brotha!

Sending Hex values in UDP Packets using C
I am writing a C program to send data using UDP. The following is the client-side code that I have implemented to send data to a server.
[I]#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
int sock,i;
struct sockaddr_in server_addr;
struct hostent *host;
char send_data[1024],hexstring[1024], temp[1024];
int broadcast = 1;
int numbytes;
host= (struct hostent *) gethostbyname((char *)"255.255.255.255");
if ((sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) == -1)
if (setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, &broadcast,
sizeof broadcast) == -1)
perror("setsockopt (SO_BROADCAST)");
server_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
server_addr.sin_port = htons(5000);
server_addr.sin_addr = *((struct in_addr *)host->h_addr);
if ((numbytes=sendto(sock, argv[2], strlen(argv[2]), 0,(struct sockaddr *)&server_addr, sizeof server_addr)) == -1)
while (1)
printf("Type Something (q or Q to quit):");
if ((strcmp(send_data , "q") == 0) || strcmp(send_data , "Q") == 0)
Converting entered string into hexadecimal using sprintf()
hexstring[0] = '\0';
temp[0] = '\0';
for (i=0; i<strlen(send_data); i++)
sprintf(temp, "%X ", send_data);
strcat(hexstring, temp);
sendto(sock,hexstring, strlen(hexstring), 0,(struct sockaddr *)&server_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr));
While using this program, my problem is that the converted hexadecimal when sent over to the server is being converted to ASCII again.:undecided
For example, If I sent "Hello" from the client, the server would get "48 65 6C 6C 6F" as string , but the actual datatransfer considers the hex value as ASCII. So over the ethernet, "48 65 6C 6C 6F" is changed to its hex value, 34 38 20 36 35.
What I am actually hoping to achieve is to connect to a device on my ethernet which received ONLY hexadecimal values. My original program contains many hex values which have to be sent to the device. But when I am sending these hexvalues, they are considered as ASCII. This is a big problem as the device cannot understand ASCII/String.
As a result the converted hex value is considered as string/ascii and it is converted again to hex and being sent on the actual network.
For example, if I convert the IP address 192.168.18.7 to its hexadecimal values, I hope to sent it to the device as hexadecimal values itself and not consider the hexadecimal of the IP add as ASCII.
It would be great if someone could help me regarding this please. Any help would me much appreciated. Thanks very much.
Re: Sending Hex values in UDP Packets using C
This is as easy as just sending send_data instead of hexstring, isn't it?
So change this...
printf("Type Something (q or Q to quit):");
if ((strcmp(send_data , "q") == 0) || strcmp(send_data , "Q") == 0)
printf("Type Something (q or Q to quit):");
Re: Sending Hex values in UDP Packets using C
Thanks for your quick response and help.
But what I was hoping to achieve is to send hex values through the sendTo functions (or any C function). The above code is just a sample/trial to test sending data. I am sorry I had not explained it better. I hope this time it is clearer.
Originally, I have some hex values in an array that I hope to transmit to an electronic device, which reads only hex values. But when SendTo function is used to send this array of hex values, it treats all the hex values in the array as string and then converts these to hex values. Now, when these converted hex values reach the device, all the data is wrong because they were not the original hex values that I had hoped to send.For example, if I send 'FF' as hex in SendTo, 'FF' is treated as string and its hexadecimal values '4646' are sent to the device,instead of the 'FF' hex value. So my device gets the wrong values and performs the wrong operations.
I was wondering if there is any way of making a socket program send hex values as hex values itself without any further conversion, i.e., hexadecimal 'FF' is sent as 'FF' itself and not '4646'.
I thought the above program was simpler and easier to relate to in my case, as primarily it is sending data across the ethernet using C on linux,i.e., the user-input message is converted as hex values to emulate my SendTo function which needs to send hex values too. Once again, sorry for not being clearer.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Re: Sending Hex values in UDP Packets using C
Well one of us doesn't understand something. The modification I made to the code would result in the value 0xff being sent as 0xff and not as 0x46 0x46. The unmodified program converts the hex values to a string with the following code:
for (i=0; i<strlen(send_data); i++)

The Ocean to Cynthia is a love poem to Elizabeth I, written by the explorer and courtier Sir Walter Ralegh. It is a work surrounded by uncertainty; discovered in manuscript form at Hatfield House by C.J. Stewart in the mid nineteenth-century, it was never formally published by Ralegh, and only a fragment of the manuscript exists; the twenty-first book, and a fragment of the twenty-second. It is not clear whether the previous twenty books were ever written, or whether they merely existed in outline form as part of a hugely ambitious project on Ralegh's part. Indeed some scholars suggest that the numbering of books is incorrect; Agnes Latham, followed by Walter Oakeshott, argues that they are in fact the eleventh and twelfth …

Hi everyone! I have been lurking for about a month, getting into the Primal groove, and I am excited to start posting!
Your location: Ottawa, Ontario
Age (If you want): 30
How Primal are you: 80% and working on 90-ish %
Do you consume dairy: I can really only eat cheese in moderate amounts, and I stick to goat's milk cheese when I have it. All other dairy (butter, milk, yogurt) gives me a pretty severe skin reaction. Boo! I have also recently developed a pretty severe reaction to eggs.
Do you drink coffee or tea: Yep. Typically one black coffee a day, and herbal tea. Caffeine doesn't do much for me.
Motivator for switching to Primal: Been actively struggling w/my weight for 10 years. Even as a child I always craved protein and could have cared less about starches and grains...this way of life just makes sense. I had also been struggling with inflammation and other symptoms, and Primal seems like the answer.
Favorite exercise: Zumba :) Pure play for me. I also enjoy my twice weekly weights workout with my workout buddy.
Favorite Primal food: All of it...I love pretty much all meat and veggies plus in-season fruit.
Best part about being Primal: The feeling of mental clarity and being in control of my appetite.
Worst part about being Primal: The occasional siren call of non-Primal foods. When answered, I tend to feel pretty sick now...

OFJ Field Journal from Leslie Tamppari - 12/11/95I'm writing this a few days after the fact, but boy what a great day last Thursday, the 7th was! Everyone on the flight team and at JPL is happy and relieved that all went well!
I was so nervous while waiting for confirmation that the probe that we dropped into Jupiter's atmosphere was working fine. The signal came about 6 minutes later than I had been expecting, so I was getting very fearful that something had gone wrong. When the confirmation finally came through, I was nearly in tears from the joy of knowing that we had done it! (So was our project management!)
I was in our Von Karman auditorium to hear the confirmation since I had volunteered to help with the press. That was the best place to be! When the signal came through, everyone cheered and hugged each other! The press started snapping pictures of all of us cheering and later came up to interview some of us!
Later on that evening, we got the signal that the big engines aboard Galileo started firing right on time! That was a relief too since if they didn't work right, we would have become a flyby mission instead of an orbiting mission! And again, 49 minutes later, the engines stopped, right on time. Of course, I had all the confidence in the engine firing, we seem to do that very well here!
We've started to get some data back from the probe. I haven't heard any rumors about it yet. They have to look at it and get ready for the press conference on the 19th. I can't wait to find out what interesting things they have found! It's so great to finally be in orbit around Jupiter getting real Jupiter data!

In a move that could help ease gun legislation through Congress, Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., announced a bipartisan compromise Wednesday that would broaden background checks for firearm purchases.
The Senate deal, set for an initial procedural vote today, would alter existing gun-control proposals in hopes of bringing wider congressional support to the discussion. Toomey's plan - spearheaded with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. - requires criminal and mental health background checks for most firearm buyers, including those at gun shows and on the Internet.
"Criminals and mentally ill people shouldn't have guns," Toomey told reporters Wednesday. "And I don't think that should be a controversial idea."
Titled "The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act," the senators' legislation hardly resembles the gun-control proposals first introduced after the December shooting that left 26 people dead at a Newtown, Conn., school.
Not mentioned are assault rifles or high-capacity magazines, items some in Congress had sought to restrict in the wake of the massacre.
Instead, Toomey and Manchin's proposal expressly bans the implementation of a national firearms registry and guards gun owners' ability to easily transfer weapons to friends or relatives.
"It would not require record-keeping by private citizens. ... I think it is a reasonable common ground," Toomey said.
The plan would close the so-called "gun show loophole" that allows people in some states to buy firearms at trade shows without any background checks. Federal authorities would be required to place a higher priority on gun-show background checks than on checks at local gun stores.
Toomey stressed that the bill would exempt family sales and sales between neighbors from the background-check rule, though a summary posted online
didn't indicate how the exemptions would be determined.
Other proposed exemptions include a rule that gun buyers could use a valid concealed-carry permit in place of a background check, according to the bill summary.
States would be encouraged to turn over criminal and mental health records to the national background-check system. Anyone misusing or retaining the records illegally could face up to 15 years in prison, the bill states.
"I think this is a win for gun owners," Toomey said.
Although the bill is vastly less restrictive than some earlier proposals, gun rights groups like the National Rifle Association issued lukewarm responses Wednesday.
An NRA statement questioned the usefulness of background checks, noting that they likely wouldn't have prevented the mass shootings that garnered public attention in recent years.
"Expanding background checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will not solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in schools," the NRA statement reads.
The statement from the NRA - which wields considerable influence in Congress - didn't mention Toomey by name. Toomey has received high ratings from the group in the past.
With its bipartisan support, the proposal could draw more senators to a gun-control vote and help get the discussion past a threatened Republican filibuster. Whether it could pass the Senate - or the Republican-controlled House of Representatives - has yet to be seen.
Some local House representatives didn't respond to requests for comment Wednesday. A spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th District, said Shuster would announce an opinion if and when the bill clears the Senate.
U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-12th, who represents parts of Cambria County, said in a statement that he would consider the legislation when it arrives in the House.
"Any effort to do this must not infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens," Rothfus said.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Toomey's Senate colleague, Bob Casey, D-Pa., noted that Casey has already supported stricter regulations, including universal background checks and high-capacity magazine bans.
Today's expected vote would determine whether the Toomey-Manchin proposal moves on to Senate debate.
On Wednesday, Toomey dismissed the suggestion that he was supporting "gun control," a term gun-rights advocates often associate with overreaching, even oppressive, laws.
"I don't think trying to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals is gun control," he said. "It's common sense."

AMA Statement on Pending Vote for Temporary SGR Patch
For immediate release:
March 26, 2014
Statement attributed to:
Ardis Dee Hoven, M.D.
President, American Medical Association
"Facing another self-imposed deadline, the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote Thursday on the "Protecting Access to Medicare Act," which would enact the 17th temporary "patch" to avert a 24 percent payment cut. Today, the American Medical Association and other physician groups are calling on House members to vote no on this legislation. Full repeal of the sustainable growth rate formula is the answer to strengthening the Medicare program, not another patch.
"The case for repeal of the so-called SGR is stronger than ever. The bipartisan, bicameral agreement by the three congressional committees of jurisdiction for the Medicare program would improve quality, increase care coordination and lower total costs and is strongly supported by the AMA and over 600 other physician organizations.
"Unfortunately, differences on budgetary issues have thus far stymied final passage.
"By extending the Medicare provider sequester and "cherry picking" a number of cost savings provisions included in the bipartisan, bicameral framework, the "Protecting Access to Medicare Act" actually undermines future passage of the permanent repeal framework. Further, it would perpetuate the program instability that now impedes the development and adoption of health care delivery and payment innovation that can improve health care and strengthen the Medicare program.
"We urge the House and the Senate to continue to pursue bipartisan negotiations on permanent SGR repeal legislation and for both chambers to oppose The Protecting Access to Medicare Act."

Vitamin C Doesn't Cure Colds, and the Truth About Other Lies Our Moms Told UsMeredith Carroll
Going outside with wet hair might make you cold, but it will not give you a cold. It just won't.
Feel better now?
There are plenty of myths about health that we learned from our mothers that we continue to perpetuate even though they just aren't true.
Let's all agree to break the cycle, cease driving our kids crazy (needlessly, anyway) and stop telling them the following immediately:
Television and Eyesight 1 of 6Sitting too close to the television will not ruin your eyes. TV sets today have 100,000 times less radiation than the ones made in the 1950s. And while eyestrain from sitting too close might cause a headache or fuzzy vision, both are temporary conditions that a light massage around the eyes will cure rather quickly.
Vitamin C and Colds 2 of 6Yes, you need vitamin C (scurvy, anyone?). However, vitamin C will not prevent or cure a cold. Dozens of studies have found that taking vitamin C doesn't do anything to prevent the duration or frequency of the colds you'll inevitably get. Hand washing, on the other hand, will go a long way toward keeping you healthy.
Jet Hand Dryers and Germs 3 of 6Think those blow dryers for your hands in the bathroom are more sanitary than paper towels? Thing again. They actually increase the amount of bacteria on your hands because the air inside the machine isn't sterile. They also make bathrooms dirtier as they blow around germs more than six feet.
Warm Milk and Sleep 4 of 6Warm milk won't make you drowsy. Sure, there are trace amounts of tryptophan in milk (the same sleepy stuff famously found in turkey), but way too little to make a difference. There's actually more tryptophan in eggs and cheese than milk, but you don't fall asleep over your breakfast sandwich, do you?
Hydrogen Peroxide and Wounds 5 of 6It's nice to think that when hydrogen peroxide fizzes as it touches your boo boo that it's science at work. But while chemicals are, indeed, attacking germs, they are actually slowing the healing process because hydrogen peroxide inhibits fibroblasts. To clean a cut, simple wash with soap and water and then apply a topical antibiotic.
Green Mucus and Antibiotics 6 of 6Yes, you're sick when you have green mucus. That much is still true. But antibiotics aren't necessarily the cure. If your infection is viral, antibiotics are useless (although if it's bacterial, the antibiotics could help — ask your doctor).

No, Entourage fans, this has nothing to do with the fake James Cameron movie of that name. Aquaman, from the producers of Smallville, is the pilot for a WB series that never got off the ground—or onto dry land. Now it's available on iTunes, and in that format it kicks up a nice little kiddie-pool splash. Justin Hartley plays a guy who can swim as fast as a torpedo. That's because he's really a prince of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. The thing is dumber than a carp, but it has energy and amusing effects.

Grass-green Porsches, neon yellow Lamborghinis and even luminous red Ferraris will soon fade away into the background on most streets, as the latest creation from Hamann Motorsport steals the show. With the "memoR", Hamann – the specialists for unique super sports cars – presents an exquisitely colourful McLaren MP4-12C with typical Hamann bodywork. With the stage set like this, the refined two-seater will transform ugly streets into palatial catwalks, clothing its passengers in magnificent haute couture.
Naturally, this opulent explosion of colour also conceals an aerodynamics package second to none. The standard version of the McLaren doesn't hold back with its visual charms either, presenting itself as a dynamic mid-engine sports car. Hamann takes up the existing lines of the car's carbon chassis and supplements its body elements with stylistic borrowings from the 1995 winner at LeMans, the McLaren F1, comprehensively transforming the front end, with new carbon mudguards, air outlets and expressive front apron replacing the original components. Larger air inlets on the flanks of the car, as well as a carbon bonnet underscore the car's powerful design. Roof scoop, rear wings and the rear apron with recesses for the three tailpipes of the exhaust system round off the imposing appearance of the "memoR".
During the complex modification process, the engineers paid special attention to ensuring the car's light weight. To achieve this, Hamann makes ample use of the extremely light – yet ultra-strong – material of carbon, which, because of its positive properties, can be found in abundance in the basic model too. But that's not all – the car's interior too is upgraded to become a desirable, unique automotive specimen. Whether you opt for elegant or sporty, carbon or wood, leather or Alcantara – Hamann has just the right thing for your interior tastes. Hamann's own upholsterers can, on request, design whatever the customer fancies: from personalised foot mats to a full leather interior, all made with precision craftsmanship. Individually designed and integrated into the "memoR" by the best master craftsmen.
The conversion of a standard McLaren MP4-12C into this piece of art starts at 95.000 Euro plus tax.

Osho baba, you are a wise governor, but, can you also look at this and
answer the down below question?
Ehiogie West-Idahosa, has thrown his weight behind Governor Adams Oshiomhole of
Edo State for signing into law capital punishment for kidnappers in the state.
The former lawmaker who represented Ovia North-East and South-West Constituency
in the House of Representatives, hailed the governor over his decision, noting that the law would only
be successful if it was
properly implemented by the appropriate security agencies.
"I am convinced that death penalty for kidnappers will definitely
send the signal that the state is not ready to accept criminality,''
West-Idahosa said."
Peoples' governor: Death penalty
should also go for corrupt politicians and public workers.( who knows
osho baba phones contct)
The governor and Mr Ehiogie West-Idahosa are far from the point and at the same
time pushing the shadow.
The only antidote for the governor to do is also to make the same lawmakers
make corruption death penalty.
As much as I do not support kidnapping, I am of the same
onion that for the peoples' governor to score a very high scores, Death
penalty should also go for corrupt politician and public worker.
But if he refuses to do that, God will definitely judge them. How much
billions has evaporated from our treasury day in and day out without due

No matter how much you attempt to progress professionally, it has no direct benefit on your ability to attract and experience love. It doesn't matter how many meetings you lead, how many deals you close, or how many business problems you solve.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've heard news come out about the failed marriages of politicians, athletes, entertainers, pastors, and various business leaders. Unfortunately, their million-dollar net worth had no impact on their ability to save their marriages. The reality is, no matter how much money you have you can't buy true love.
As I sit back and think about the people in my life who have been able to successfully navigate the peaks and valleys of marriage, it truly comes down to a few key principles:
- Learn the art of friendship. Today's society has created a cart before the horse mentality in the minds of those seeking relationships. We have been trained to identify someone whom we are attracted to, talk on the phone for a couple of days, go out to dinner and a movie, and then pursue an intimate relationship. Unfortunately, this formula has led us to a culture of practicing divorce. Because we haven't built a solid friendship with the person we are pursuing an intimate relationship with, it's very easy to abort ship when things in the relationship start to go awry. True friendship keeps you anchored during trying times. This principle works for the CEO who makes millions of dollars or for the blue-collar worker who makes minimum wage.

JACKSON, MI – Jackie Niciporek encourages jurors to tell their friends and family about the importance of their service.
"Don't shirk your jury duty," the Jackson County jury coordinator said she tells jurors called to the courthouse. "Sooner or later, you'll get caught."
On Monday, Feb. 25, 15 people did not arrive as ordered for jury duty and Jackson County Circuit Judge Susan Beebe had to declare a mistrial because there were not enough jurors to sit a panel for an assault case.
This was only the second time in 14 years Niciporek had experienced such a situation, and both incidents happened in the last few months.
As a result, Beebe had to restart the trial Tuesday morning, which created a scheduling difficulty and an inconvenience.
A new set of jurors was selected Tuesday and a trial began in the case of Jabari Johnson, a prisoner accused of assault with intent to murder and other crimes for allegedly attacking a corrections officer.
"It's a big deal. It's a historical tradition in the law," Beebe said of the importance of jury service. Niciporek called it a privilege and a civic duty.
If people do not heed court orders issued about jury duty, they can be fined or sent to jail, neither of which likely will spare them from service, Niciporek said. One woman who did not respond to any jury-related mailings recently was sentenced to 16 days in jail, Niciporek said.
Early this month, nearly 70 people were ordered to attend a "show cause" hearing, at which people are to explain their failure to do their jury duty. A Circuit judge issued 15 bench warrants for the arrest of people who did not reschedule or appear as ordered for the hearing.
A person stopped by police who has a bench warrant for his or her arrest would be taken to the county jail, Niciporek said.
If it is a weekend or a weeknight, a person would have to post a bond to be released, Niciporek said.
Every week, 150 people in Jackson County, randomly drawn from Secretary of State lists of about 48,000 people, are on call for jury duty. They have to phone nightly to see if they are to appear the following day.
If they don't go to the courthouse when called, they are issued a warning letter. This letter asks them to call or go to the jury coordinator and resolve the situation.
Those who fail to do this receive notice to attend a show cause hearing, which takes place about every six months.
Jury duty can be postponed.
"We go out of our way; we'll make it as accommodating as possible," Niciporek said.
The courts do not want to have a "chilling effect" on potential jurors, Beebe said.
It is difficult, however, to get out of jury duty altogether.
Active military service, being 70 or older, being a full time-student and having prior felony convictions are among the only legitimate excuses.
Niciporek, who herself has been seated as a juror, said service is not difficult or painful. Typically, it takes only a couple hours, she said.

Various techniques to activate or accentuate electrical dysrhythmias are standard procedures in electroencephalograph (EEG) laboratories. On the other hand, except for research purposes, activation of emotional storms in psychiatric patients is entirely fortuitous, to be avoided whenever possible. However, during the course of autonomic nervous system testing (Funkenstein test), these fortuitous events are not unusual. The two drugs used, epinephrine and methacholine, often stimulate frank anxiety attacks or somatic symptoms, which are typical of the patient's usual complaints.
Because of the apparent, albeit inconsistent, relationship between psychological phenomena and epileptic seizures, we were interested in finding out whether or not epinephrine, methacholine, or both would have the same activating effect on epileptic patients as it did on psychiatric patients. Would either drug activate sensory or psychic aurae, if not clinical seizures, as the psychiatric patient's sensory symptoms and anxiety are activated?

Okay, so maybe we won't get started quite yet. Chapter 4 takes place in outer space, and there's no air in space, so it's impossible to get through. You'll be forced to head back to Flipside.
Go to Merlon's house and talk to him. To get through space, you'll need a space helmet. A fisbowl will do, right? Of course! Unfortunately, Merlon gave away his fishbowl to a small boy, so it's time to go find him.
Head out and take the elevator up to the third floor of Flipside. Walk to the left a little ways until you spot the boy and his fishbowl on the road. He'll let you have it, but you'll have to do something with his honkin' big goldfish. Let's go find some water.
Now you can release the fish in two different ways: the long way, which also opens up the Pit of 100 Trials, and the short way, which hardly takes any time at all. The long way is easier just telling you. For the short way, simple go to the bottom of Flipside, which is the area with the bar, and walk to your left. For the long way, head back to Merlon's house and flip to 3D, then enter the secondary area leading to the Outskirts. Go to the right and head down the pipe, then in the next area head all the way left, blast away the bricks blocking the next pipe, then go down.
You'll return to the B1 Outskirts. Head to the right and go down the first pipe you see to enter B2. Continue to the left, hop across the blocks leading to the right, flip to 3D at the top, go through the passage to the left, flip back to 2D and make your way down to the elevator.
When you get to B2, there's not a full path across, so for a few seconds flip to 3D. You should some shadows but no blocks. So use Tippi to find the blocks and make them apear. Once you've done that then do what you just read.
Once you get to the next floor, simply walk to the right until you reach the water. Drop the goldfish in, and the fishbowl is officially yours! Now, head allll the way back to the Flipside tower, where you can now begin Chapter 4-1.
Chapter 4-1
After entering space and putting on the helmet, it doesn't seem like much is going on at first. Eventually you'll spot an "SOS" float from the bottom of the screen. The message will keep coming, so follow them down until you reach the spot they're coming from. Use Tippi to search out the spaceship that's sending the messages, and then you'll meet Squirps.
Squirps is now your little alien "captain." You'll soon help him create a little "squarp" hole to continue the journey.
Enter the squarp and the level begins properly. Blast the enemies away and continue to the end where the save block lies. Then head through the next squarp.
From there, continue to the right. At the end will be two squarp holes -- go through the topmost one. In the next section a squarp will be right above you. Avoid that one and continue to the right and enter the hole at the end.
In the next section, take a left this time and go through the hole at the left end. Then you'll be in the final part. As you drift through to the middle, you'll notice a pipe in the far distance. The big asteroid next to you hides a squarp hole if you flip to 3D. Enter it to be brought to the background. Inside the pipe is a small room filled with coins.
Other than that, you can simply head to the end of this section and the star block will be waiting for you. Confused on the paths? Check out this handy map we sketched out. Starting from the top, here's the correct path to speed your way through the first chapter's confounding squarp holes.

Most Delicious Art EVER: 10,000 Cupcakes Made into Mosaic of a Cherry Blossom TreeSunny Chanel
This piece of art looks good enough to eat, and indeed it is.
In London the cupcake company Crumbs and Doilies provided 10,000 cupcakes covered in a variety of pink, blue, brown and green frosting to create a stunning image of a portrait of a tree covered in cherry blossoms.
This delicious feat was made for the Japanese TV show ITTEQ and was the creation of artist Laura Hadland. Ms. Hadland has a thing for creating giant edible pieces of art. She made news for her take on the Mona Lisa made from burnt toast and a pair of portraits of Pippa Middleton made entirely of crumpets.
For this piece she selected 14 different colors…which Crumbs and Doilies was able to make into frostings. Of the process she wrote on her blog Extreme Housewife that she used her regular process by "taking the photo, reducing it down to the requisite number of squares and then allocating each square first a colour and then finally, a letter."
As for what happened to the amazingly delicious looking piece of art after filming? Hadland wrote, "I think the only thing that disappointed me about the final experience was that the shopping center we worked in said 'under no circumstances could we give out the cupcakes' – absolutely ridiculous. They were completely edible and would have been enjoyed by hundreds of people."
Check out the mosaic being assembled below.

City Paper - A couple weeks ago, we told you about plans to auction off Fells Point's Apex, Baltimore's last adult movie theater. Well, as the BBJ reports, the auction happened and the place was sold to investor Sam Singh for $295,000. Surprisingly, according to the BBJ, Singh "indicated he is willing to allow it to remain as Baltimore's last adult movie theater." The details of the auction are kinda hilarious: Because of rain, the auction took place just under the movie theater's screen, and bidders stood among the ripped and broken seats that appeared to be original to the 6,750-square-foot building. The dimly lit theater was rank with the odor of the deteriorating seats and the room retained only a few vestiges of what was once one of several movie palaces that were in the area. Yah, that was the smell of "deteriorating seats," sure BBJ. Anyone who has seen our heart-stopping gallery of pictures from inside the Apex (NSFW – or for holding down your lunch), can imagine what else contributed that smell. The BBJ also reports that "the gross annual income for the property was $32,619″.
Crabcakes and porn theaters, that's what Maryland does! Last week, we showed you the Apex Theater, the last surviving porn theater in Baltimore. It was being auctioned off, leaving perverts and child molesters of Baltimore with nowhere to crank on a Wednesday afternoon. But fear not, you psychos! The porn theater was bought for $295,000 to a guy who has absolutely no plan to change it. What a relief! Its like when they were trying to save the Clock Tower in Back to the Future but instead of time traveling Deloreans, it's 70 year old former gym teachers cumming on the back of chairs. To think we were actually in danger of losing the Apex made my dick so soft and sad. But knowing old faithful will still be there, with rows of seats to choose from, brings a smile to my dick's face.
PS: This fuckin place brought in 32k in income last year. Jesus Christ. I doubt I could make 32k selling crack in Baltimore in a year. It might be time to get into the porn theater game.
Zollo drinks his own pee.

Philadelphia City Council President Darrell L. Clarke received campaign cash and encouragement to enter next year's race for mayor at an Old City fund-raiser Tuesday evening hosted by his ally John J. Dougherty, business manager of Local 98 of the Electricians union.
"I'm a big fan of him running for mayor," Dougherty said. "He's such a steady, tenured leader with a lot of balance - and that's a word you don't hear much in politics. People respect him."
About 150 movers and shakers stopped by the reception at La Famiglia Ristorante, where they heard Dougherty express the hope that Clarke would be a "little bit selfish" when it comes to 2015.

Ben Harper
On his remarkable third album, this 27-year-old singer-guitarist proves he has never met a musical style he doesn't like. Rural blues, reggae, funk, folk, country—Harper's goal seems to be to master them all. The electrifying "Faded" sounds as if Mississippi Delta legend Robert Johnson plugged in Jimi Hendrix's Stratocaster and learned to wail; with its wah-wah guitar riff and propulsive horn solos, "Mama's Trippin' " is like a '70s Sly Stone dance groove; the gentle "Widow of a Living Man" could be a Cat Stevens outtake. What keeps this musical mosaic together is Harper's pleasingly mellow vocal style and seemingly sincere (if at times unoriginal) lyrics about lost love and spiritual longing. On The Will to Live, Harper's impassioned artistry offers the perfect antidote to much of today's glib pop. (Virgin)

There's a question that I constantly get from readers that leaves me guessing: Where is the worst traffic bottleneck in Oregon?
Well, as of this week, the worst place to be stuck during rush hour is northbound Interstate 5 at Marine Drive. That's according to a new study from Kirkland, Wash., traffic research firm Inrix, which sifted billions of data points from GPS units in automobiles and matched it to 30,000 intersections nationwide.
Among the 25 worst bottlenecks in the Portland area, 15 were along Interstate 5, the study said. During the typical 168-hour week monitored by Inrix last year, the dreaded I-5/Marine Drive interchange at Exit 307 was congested an average of 23 hours, according to Inrix.
Ironically, Oregon's most congested interchange is largely the result of Washington drivers heading home from jobs in the Portland area.
Tara Dublin, a Portland radio personality who lives Vancouver, said she tries to avoid rush hour on Interstate 5, which she calls "the Devil's Highway," whenever possible. She prefers I-205 to 84 and back home.
But sometimes, when she has to make a shopping stop at Jantzen Beach, she finds herself stuck on northbound I-5. "Once you're clear of the bridge, it's like you're in a totally different country," she said, "lots of wide open lanes with zero congestion."
Dublin thinks the HOV lane "is a waste" because not enough people merit using it and most vehicles using iit don't have enough occupants. She would like it more if she and other hybrid owners could use it as a perk of driving an eco-car. "That would help a little," she said. "Or, they could just start issuing jetpacks."
The .76-miles section of road ranked as the nation's 335th worst bottleneck, far behind the champs - the Cross Bronx Expressway westbound at Bronx River Parkway in New York and Interstate 580 at Bellam Boulevard in Marin County, Calif.
Drivers who use the interchange between the Cross Bronx and the Bronx River Parkway are tied up on the stretch of road an average of 94 hours every week.
Still, looking at the grand scale of the research, the I-5/Marine Drive ranking isn't all that great, said Inrix Vice President Rick Schuman, who authored the study. "It's pretty good," he said. "But it's still in the top one percent."
The Portland area's traffic was in line with its population - the nation's 23rd worst congestion and its 23rd largest metropolitan area - Schuman said. At the same time, Portland, like every other major city in 2008, saw a dramatic decrease in traffic congestion -- 36 percent -- due to high gas prices and the sputtering economy, Inrix's analysis revealed.
Yet travel times dropped by only six percent. Honolulu saw the largest decline, with an 11 percent drop in travel times, the study said.
Go here to see the study's breakdown of the Portland area's worst bottlenecks. The second worst spot, according the scorecard, was northbound Interstate 5 at Victory Boulevard, just a mile down the freeway from Marine Drive, with 20 hours of congestion each week.
The worst peak travel times at those two interchanges were between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., when top speeds stayed below 15 miles per hour.
Rounding out Oregon's top five, which ranked from 335th to 651st nationally: I-5 southbound at Broadway; I-5 northbound at Columbia Boulevard; I-84 westbound at Grand Avenue. Oregon 217 southbound at Walker Road was the worst in Washington County. Meanwhile, the morning drive on I-5 southbound at Mill Plain in Vancouver also made the list, ranking as America's 709th nastiest bottleneck.
January, December and November were the most congested months.
State transportation officials are well aware of the congestion headaches between downtown Portland and Vancouver. The trick to fixing them is getting funding and utilizing the space that's left to expand and improve, they say. ODOT is currently in the middle of a $60 million project to widen the highway and add lanes at Victory and Columbia boulevards.
"That one is really going to help relieve some of the congestion," said ODOT spokeswoman Christin Miles. Among other things, the improvements slated for completion in fall 2010, will help people merge in a more orderly way, she said.
For now, Miles said, there are no proposed projects to fix the Marine Drive interchange.
Inrix ranked traffic congestion by gathering location and speed data from 800,000 commercial vehicles equipped with GPS tracking devices, as well as from state departments of transportation.
Schuman said researchers analyzed 47,000 miles of major highways in the country's 100 largest census-defined metropolitan statistical areas for the "travel time index" used by Inrex's computers. The index looks at the average amount of time it takes to get through a congested area and compares it to the time it takes during non-peak hours, he said.
"We looked at every segment of road every hour of the day," Schuman said. "We were able to take a constant look at the amount of time a section of road is congested, the amount of congestion and the intensity of congestion every day of the week."
With gas prices fluctuating and the economy stalled, it's hard to predict what this years research will find, he said. In the field of transportation intelligence, he said, "these are interesting times."

Employee Referral Program
At Princeton University, we have found that employee referrals are an effective way for recruiting top-notch employees.
If you refer a person who then is hired and remains in the job for at least six months, you may receive a reward up to $1,000, less applicable taxes. To receive this reward, you must be employed by Princeton University when the reward payment is made.
Who Can Make a Referral?
You are eligible to make an employee referral if you are not involved in the hiring process for the referred candidate. Office of Human Resources staff members are not eligible.
What types of jobs are eligible for this reward program and what is the reward?
The following positions may be eligible for employee referral rewards:
- all biweekly B positions in academic, data management, or departmental office support – $250
- all biweekly janitorial and dining services positions – $250
- all administrative positions (ADM) in grades 1 and 2 – $250
- all informational technology professional positions (AIT) in grades 1 and 2 – $500
- all informational technology professional positions (AIT) in grades 3 through 5 – $1,000
You can review current openings at Jobs at Princeton.
Who can be referred?
Candidates are eligible for employee referral provided they:
- are not currently employed by Princeton University in any capacity, including temporary, casual hourly or student workers;
- have not been referred previously by someone else; or
- have not previously applied for a position at Princeton
Candidates must demonstrate that they have:
- the required qualifications,
- a good employment record; and,
- in the case of office and administrative support staff, proficiency in using Microsoft Office.
The director of staffing will make the final determination regarding eligibility after the candidate applies and the application or resume has been received.
How do I refer someone?
The process of referring a candidate is simple. Just complete the Employee Referral Form and send it to the Office of Human Resources at 2 New South. If you refer more than one candidate, you need to complete a separate form for each person. You may refer someone only one time.
The applicant may also indicate that you referred them on their online application. When asked "How did you hear about this position?" on the application, the individual should select the Employee Referral button and enter your name in the blank field below.
When am I eligible to receive the referral reward?
The referral reward will be made as a taxable, additional payment and will be included in your regular paycheck.
You are eligible to receive the reward:
- if you submitted your referral form prior to the time the candidate is offered an interview or the candidate indicated your referral on the online application;
- when the person you referred is hired into a position included in this program; and
- after the person you referred is employed for six months.
You must be employed by the University when the payment is made, normally soon after the person you referred has been in the job six months.
What if I know someone to refer but the position is not eligible for a referral reward?
Even though all positions at Princeton University are not included in the employee referral program, we encourage you to refer them because we believe that employee referrals are one of the most successful ways to attract talented people.
Please review the following policies regarding employment of family members or individuals with whom you have a personal relationship:
- 2.1.5 Employment of Members of the Same Family or Household
- 5.2.2 Nepotism and Personal Relationships in the Workplace
Other Things You Should Know
The Office of Human Resources reserves the right to make the final determination about candidate eligibility, including whether they are qualified for positions designated within the program. In the event an applicant is referred by more than one employee, or by an employee and an employment agency, the deciding factor will be the date of receipt of the referral to Human Resources.
If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact the Staffing Team at (609) 258-3304 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can count on support from knowledgeable and responsive HR staff when you have a question or problem. Just call or send us an e-mail. We're here to help!
Princeton University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and in keeping with our commitment, encourages Women, Minorities, Persons with Disabilities, and Vietnam Era and Disabled Veterans to apply.

Dynamically Optimal R&D Subsidies

Previous research on optimal R&D subsidies has focussed on the long run. This paper characterizes the optimal time path of R&D subsidization in a semi-endogenous growth model, by exploiting a recently developed numerical method. Starting from the steady state under current R&D subsidization in the US, the R&D subsidy should significantly jump upwards and then slightly decrease over time. There is a negligible loss in welfare, however, from immediately setting the R&D subsidy to its optimal long run level, compared to the case where the dynamically optimal policy is implemented.

On Saturday, Moviefone sat down for a one-on-one interview with reigning Best Actor winner Colin Firth. Firth is promoting his new British spy thriller, 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,' but we asked him about the recent rumors that he's been approached to co-star in Spike Lee's remake of the South Korean film, 'Oldboy.' According to reports, Firth would play the villain, Adrian, opposite Josh Brolin. Firth was fairly mum on the subject, but did confirm that he's been approached and cryptically relayed that discussions are still ongoing.
There is a report that you've been approached to star in Spike Lee's 'Oldboy' remake. Is this true?
They are making a film. And, yeah, I have been approached about it.
Is it confirmed?
So you're talking?
I've just... heard about it. [Smiles] You know.
Check back before the Dec. 9 release of 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' for Moviefone's full discussion with Colin Firth.

"Malnutrition" is frequently cited when patients with pressure sores do poorly, and "adequate" nutrient intake (or input) is part of most guidelines on pressure sore management. This may be misleading, however. Although not conclusive, available evidence consistently suggests that nutrition support—parenterally, with oral supplements, or via enteral tube feeding—does not improve pressure sore outcomes. The Cochrane review of enteral tube feeding in older people with dementia concluded that data were limited and that "there was no evidence of benefit in terms of nutritional status or the prevalence of pressure ulcers."1

Platelets are blood cells responsible for defending the body. They are produced in the bone marrow and are found from 150,000 to 350,000 platelets per milliliter of blood in men and from 162 000 to 380 in women. Platelets are essential for clotting (prevents bleeding or blood loss from injury, etc.).
The causes of low platelets may be several, for certain infections such as HIV, the use of certain drugs, because of a careless diet, anemia, deficiency of folate or vitamin B12, cirrhosis (chronic liver disease), depression, etc.
Some of the symptoms of low platelets are bruising, bleeding risk, rashes or red spots. If the deficiency is mild, there may be no symptoms.
Any processed or refined product as flours, sugars, sodas, cookies, soft drinks, white bread, etc. As well as sausages, fried meat and not to abuse of animal milk or cheese. All these products generate too many toxins and deficiencies in systems and organs.
Include in your diet:
Enzymes (sprouts, fresh vegetables either in juice or salads, etc.), vitamin B, and drink two liters of water a day minimum. These foods should be: sprouts, fresh vegetables, especially carrots, beets, celery, aloe or cactus, alfalfa and raw garlic (take a clove of garlic on an empty stomach or before bedtime, chewing and passing it with water). Fruits are excellent in the morning, ideally fasting with pineapple or lemon or any citrus or acidic fruit, which helps the body to purify and absorb nutrients better.
Natural supplements to boost platelet are yeast, spirulina, vegetable milks: soy, oats, canary, etc., Chia, flaxseed and extra virgin olive oil.
Drinking during the day: a fruit juice during mid-morning and evening, especially grape, cranberry, pineapple or goji berries juice.
FASTING: a glass of green tea with a half squeezed lemon, drink warm. Do not eat anything else, wait 20 minutes.
BREAKFAST: almond milk smoothie with some fruit or soy (you can add a teaspoon of chia, honey, oats or almonds), a whole-wheat toast with honey or vegetarian sandwich, omelet with vegetables, etc.
LUNCH: Vegetable juice: carrot and alfalfa with aloe, some beet.
FOOD: you choice, respecting the food that is not recommended. Example: vegetable soup with vegetables or rice, pasta with vegetables or soups, potato pancakes, spinach with yogurt, baked potato with yogurt and garlic, salad vegetables and seeds, etc. Accompany the meal with a vegetable juice, carrot, alfalfa or beet and parsley with carrot and aloe. You can mix the ingredients, but do not use more than three. Take two or three tablets of brewer's yeast.
MID AFTERNOON: a cup of green tea, sweetened with brown sugar. If you're hungry, eat a cereal bar or a bowl of sweet fruits.
DINNER: veggie sandwich or apple salad with homemade yogurt and honey. Sprinkle chia or flax.

813 Amplifier Project
|1 2 3 4 5
|Next >>
It has been my life long dream to operate a pair of 813s powered by an 866A mercury vapor rectifier power supply so this is the beginning of a great new adventure!
813 Amplifier Newly Arrived
It looks pretty good but there is no power supply behind that panel. There are a few pictures of the RF deck on this page. The 866 power supply project starts on the next page.
The RF deck seems to have the major components in place. It will be a good start. The amp has not been in service for a very long time.
|The tubes are being operated in grounded grid with a input tuned circuit. There is a separate band switch for the input network. There is no filament transformer so I need to find one. Update Jan 2006: thanks to Robye, W1MK, I have a filament transformer!! This amp will go "live" sometime this year!
|The plate circuit components look OK. The plate capacitor might be a little small to cover the high bands but I need to find power supply components as the next step in the project.

Mérimée's only novel has as its central event a vivid evocation of the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre during the night of 23-24 August 1572, when over 3,000 Protestants died in Paris at the hands of a Catholic mob. The topic was a favourite one for liberal writers under the reactionary and clerical rule of Charles X. Mérimée's work coincided with the vogue for historical novels triggered by the success of translations of Sir Walter Scott; it is the best documented of the French Romantic works in the genre, drawing on the contemporary memoirs of Lanoue, Tavannes, Pierre de lEstoile, Vieille-Ville, Monluc and Brantôme (all published in the 1820s) and on Agrippa d'Aubigné. In the Preface Mérimée confesses: "In history, it's …

|Still very busy
|08 Jan 2009
I've been receiving texts and emails requesting updates on this blog but unfortunately I'm still loaded with weddings. However, I'm on my last two weeks of my busy schedule and I hope I can resume by then.
Just like today, it's my 3rd day here in Tagaytay.
Anyway, last January 2, I was able to escape from my busy schedule and had a day of rest at Calamba, Laguna. It was my parents anniversary and we spent overnight in a private pool there.
My sis captured me.
Hopefully, I can post my weddings in the next few days. :)

Would the Scientist Behind the Jupiter Mission Like to Venture into Space Himself? No Thanks
Stone, 43, himself a physicist, is chief of science for the Voyager project to explore the outer planets, which means he is in charge of the 106 scientists analyzing information the Voyagers are sending back. (Voyager I is now on its way to Saturn, which it should reach in November 1980. Voyager II will approach Jupiter this July to fill in some gaps left by its sister ship.)
Stone also has his own favorite project—a study of cosmic rays, one of 11 major Voyager experiments. But, he says, he can't devote too much of his time or JPL's equipment to it. "I have to be very careful that I don't have a conflict of interest. I have to be quite neutral."
NASA's $360 million Voyager mission (JPL works under contract) is, says Stone, "the kind of step one takes to test ideas. We take data and apply it to stretch our knowledge." Voyager I—which at one point after its launch in 1977 sent terrible signals of false distress—passed within 170,000 miles of Jupiter's swirling atmosphere of helium and hydrogen. Among the scientific trophies it has already sent back: surprising photographic evidence that Jupiter is a ringed planet (the ring may be pieces of a moon ripped apart by gravity), and close-ups of weather patterns and lightning in its atmosphere and volcanic activity on one of its moons. All such findings are important not only as pure science but because they afford a new perspective on such phenomena as the origins of life and weather here on earth.
Stone grew up in Burlington, Iowa, where his parents, Edward and Ferne, sold electric garage doors. "I could have been a mechanic, I suppose," Stone muses. Instead, he found himself "interested in why things are the way they are. It was clear that scientists had a major impact on World War II, and that scientists could do unusual things. It was the appeal of learning new things, things that other people didn't understand, that attracted me to science."
Graduating second in his high school class of 200, Stone went on to a Ph.D. in physics at the University of Chicago in 1964—with an experimental thesis that involved developing an instrument to measure cosmic rays. It was carried aboard the Discoverer 36 satellite in 1961. He joined the faculty at Caltech in 1964 and is now a professor of physics there, teaching both graduate and undergraduate students (though "not this quarter because of the close encounter").
Fascinated as he is by space, Stone has a scholarly detachment toward sci-fi flicks like Star Wars. "I enjoy the special effects—I don't get very absorbed in the story line." He also is not entranced by the notion of blasting off into space for a firsthand look himself. "It's a risky business and not worth the return I'd get," he says. "I'd just be a sightseer. I can do things here by remote control."
The two Voyagers should give him plenty to do, unless Congress refuses to extend the program's funding, which runs out in 1982. They should remain in contact with Pasadena until 1990 (and will continue to cruise the universe for billions of years thereafter). Already, Stone says, Voyager I has provided "a saturation of new information which we will probably be studying in great detail for at least five years." That is astrophysical language for "Eureka!"

Erie prepares to welcome bikers for two events
Engines will roar, concerts will rock and bikers will descend on the Erie area this week.
No, it's not quite time for the seventh annual Roar on the Shore motorcycle rally. That starts on Thursday.
Motorcycle enthusiasts, however, can rev their engines at the Harley-Davidson of Erie BikeFest, which begins today and continues through July 21, at the Millcreek Township dealership, 3712 W. 12th St.
Kelly Lapping and his wife, Susan, the dealership's co-owners, have scheduled a nine-day bike fest that features concerts, demonstration rides by the Harley-Davidson demonstration fleet, a tattoo fest, bike nights, vendors, group rides, a bikini bike carwash, and other activities.
"We're not calling it a rally and we're not calling it a bike week,'' Kelly Lapping said. "We want to set the foundation to build a bike week in this town. ... There's a growing demand by people who want to see a bike week. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. We've had our customers and motorcycle enthusiasts just saying, 'It's time to do it.'''
The Lappings said their bikefest is not a competition with the seventh annual Roar on the Shore Motorcycle Rally, which runs from Thursday through Sunday morning, in Erie.
Part of the Harley BikeFest will run concurrently with the Roar on the Shore event. The Harley BikeFest is not a Roar on the Shore-sanctioned event.
The Lappings said their dealership remains a major sponsor of Roar on the Shore and that event's Thunder on the Isle: The Mayor's Ride, an annual ride led by Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott around Presque Isle State Park.
"What we're trying to do is just give people the freedom to choose additional things to do so that it helps grow a bike week for Erie, which helps the entire community,'' Susan Lapping said. "It brings in so much for this entire community -- the restaurants, the hotels, all the shops. It helps everybody out. That's what we're trying to do.''
Kelly Lapping said he has assured Roar on the Shore officials and Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott that the Harley BikeFest will help the rally grow.
The Lappings opened their new 60,000-square-foot Harley-Davidson dealership in 2012.
"We've been approached by more than two dozen businesses and they've all been very positive and said the BikeFest is great because they want to see people here longer,'' Kelly Lapping said. "The longer they stay here, the more they're going to spend. It's a win-win for all the businesses. It's a win-win for Roar on the Shore, and everybody here.''
Erie County hotels should be operating at or near capacity for the next week as the region attracts an influx of bikers and visitors, according to John Oliver, president of VisitErie, Erie County's tourism promotion agency.
"This is really an effort to look to extend and offer the opportunity for those biker aficionados to spend more time in Erie and to allow them to do some things prior to the Roar on the Shore's beginning,'' Oliver said. "We've always felt there is so much to see and do in Erie, that just a couple of days is not enough to experience all that Erie has to offer.''
As a first-year event, the Harley BikeFest will likely attract mostly local and regional bikers, Kelly Lapping said. He hopes the BikeFest will draw a couple thousand visitors to his dealership each day.
Sixteen local bands will perform during the event. The musical agenda also features a regional band -- the Huckin' Fillbillys, of Youngstown, Ohio. The national headliner is the Jasmine Cain Band, set to appear July 19-20.
"Jasmine Cain performs at all the major bike rallies. She has the credibility of performing at all the big venues at the bike rallies,'' Kelly Lapping said.
"This year our focus is to offer nine days of rides, music, vendors and activities to help expand the number of activities and things for people to do leading up to and during Roar on the Shore,'' he said. "We're looking to showcase a lot of the local music.''
Harley-Davidson's demonstration fleet, which is based in Milwaukee, will offer free rides today and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. There will be 17 demonstration bikes available.
Other activities throughout the week include local, regional and national vendors, a charity poker run, group motorcycle rides and a Harley-Davidson boot camp.
"The boot camp is an indoctrination to motorcycling to the non-rider, or people who are interested in possibly buying a motorcycle or who want to learn more about a Harley-Davidson lifestyle,'' Kelly Lapping said. "It's sort of a little fun presentation to get to learn more about the motorcycles, parts and accessories, clothing, and the lifestyle.''
The BikeFest includes a scheduled appearance by Paul Yaffe, a nationally known custom-bike builder, Friday and July 20.
Yaffe will lead rides to Canadohta Lake Friday and to Webb's Resort in Mayville, N.Y., Saturday. Each ride is limited to 25 bikes.
"We do believe the BikeFest complements Roar on the Shore,'' Kelly Lapping said. "Everything we're doing concludes at 8:30 p.m., and we encourage visitors to go downtown and take the party and move it downtown for the music headliners and see the activities they have to offer on State Street.''
RON LEONARDI can be reached at 870-1680 or by e-mail.

A female adult entered the bank, implied that someone was going to kill her, and demanded money from the teller. The female left the location without obtaining anything after the teller walked away from his window.
Detectives are seeking public assistance in identifying and locating the woman and have released the adjacent photo from the attempted robbery.
The woman depicted here is being sought for questioning only at this time and detectives want to determine if she is a suspect in the attempted robbery or was being forced to act against her will. Detectives are encouraging the woman to come forward and talk to them.
The woman has blond hair, appeared to be in her 30's, is approximately 5'06" tall, weighs an estimated 150 pounds, and was wearing a black t-shirt with an undetermined white graphic logo on it.
(Editor's note: The character on the T-shirt looks like Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas.")
At the time of the incident the woman was wearing dark sunglasses and was carrying a dark purse which she never took her hand out of.
Several deputies immediately converged on the area and searched for the suspect, but she was not located.
