A Tosa resident for almost 20 years, Karen is a mom and freelance writer, addicted to playing tennis. When not on the tennis court, she spends the fall and winter in the stands at Green Bay Packer and Marquette basketball games.
Karen is the author of "Grab a Bite," a dining out column and the former community columnist for the Wauwatosa NOW newspaper.
Dave & Buster's Opens a New Location and a Can of Worms
It's difficult to explain to people what Dave & Buster's is. Their tagline is "Eat, Drink, Play" which is pretty accurate for a business that is part restaurant, part bar and part arcade. I visited the new Dave & Busters at 2201 N. Mayfair Road on a Thursday night, just days after its grand opening. Overheard on that night, was this exchange:
The Holiday Outdoor Decorating Police
I think it's time, people. It's almost March…or it will be when you're reading this. I know, there's still snow on the ground. Nevertheless, it's time to take down the Christmas decorations. That's right, I've designated myself the holiday outdoor decorating police. Feel free to object.
The other night, having once again found myself at the end of the day without dinner on the stove, my husband, daughter and I went to Balistreri's on 68th Street. Being Thursday night, it was fairly busy.

Dear City of Wauwatosa,
I Heart Tosa
Once in a while, I encounter a few things that remind me why I love Tosa. Sometimes it's something small, sometimes funny, sometimes a little sad. Here are a few:

Hello dear readers of Louise, my name is Brittany and I'm here as a guest to post a recipe for you today!
I accidentally invented this at Christmas from left overs of our Christmas dessert and the remnants of a disastrous attempt at a gingerbread house. I've simplified it a bit here, but if you feel like making your own gingerbread instead of using gingersnaps go right ahead!
What you'll need:
1 Tub of Vanilla Ice Cream
Ground Ginger
Ground Cinnamon
60g Butter
1 ½ Packed Cups of Brown Sugar
250ml Thickened Cream
1 Packet of Ginger Snaps
Step 1. Take the ice cream out of the freezer and leave to soften to a stirable consistency (approximately the time of one parks and recreation episode, or if your cooking in Australian Summer the walk from the supermarket should do it)
Step 2. Add ginger and cinnamon to the ice cream, one tablespoon of each at a time, mix and taste after each addition. Keep adding to your taste, I usually have about 3-4 tablespoons of each but I like it spicy.
Step 3. Put ice cream back in the freezer. While it is freezing it is time to make the caramel sauce. Combine butter, sugar and cream in a small saucepan, stir over medium heat until it comes to the boil, turn down the heat and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 4. Allow the sauce to cool and thicken to a spreadable consistency. Again if you're in Australian Summer you may need to put it in the fridge for this to occur. (Also try to avoid eating all the gingersnaps by dipping them into the caramel sauce while its still warm- it's too delicious for it's own good)
Step 5. Time to assemble! These are quite messy, so don't assemble them until you're about to eat them. Spread two gingersnaps with caramel sauce, use a dessert spoon to spoon out some ice cream onto one of the biscuits and use the other biscuit to squish it down. Voila!
Because gingersnaps are quite a bit crunchier than gingerbread they can be a tad messy- no less delicious though. If you want to serve these as a dessert, you could go all masterchef and create a 'deconstructed ice cream sandwich' to eat with a spoon. No matter how you eat them- enjoy!
Thanks for having me Louise!

Indigo Girls, Saturday night at the WorkPlay soundstage in Birmingham, Alabama. Review rating: Four out of five stars.
Indigo Girls, Saturday night at the WorkPlay soundstage in Birmingham, Alabama. Review rating: Four out of five stars.
Who:The Indigo Girls, a folk-rock duo founded in 1985 by Atlanta musicians Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They are an enduring team, known for their tightly meshed harmonies, feminist sensibilities and socially conscious lyrics.
When: 10 p.m. Saturday at the WorkPlay soundstage. The sold-out concert drew more than 1,000 people.
Audience: Definitely a group of Indigos fans, skewed to the female demographic. Some greeted Ray and Saliers like old friends; others (mostly 20something women), fairly vibrated with excitement as they sang along to the Indigos' signature tunes.
Set list: The 100-minute show included "Galileo," "Get Out the Map," "Least Complicated," "Power of Two," "Closer to Fine," "Shame on You," "Hammer and Nail," "Fill It Up Again," "Three County Highway," "Southland in the Springtime" and "Love of Our Lives."
Cover girl: Romance can rock, as Ray proved with her dynamic cover of Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet."
Grace note: Members of the opening act, A Fragile Tomorrow, came out to sing with the headliners near the end of the show. These young men -- three Kelly brothers from Charleston, S.C., and bassist Shaun Rhoades -- amped up the harmonies and can be heard on the Indigos' next recording, a double live CD.
Pros: Ray and Saliers are amazingly consistent and highly professional performers. Concertgoers never have to wonder about their musicianship (top-notch), their temperaments (unfailingly cordial) or their ability to connect with an audience.
Cons: Shows at the WorkPlay soundstage have the same vibe as sets at City Stages or other music festivals. Everyone stands for the duration; people push and shove their way to the door for beer breaks; rude folks have no qualms about chatting loudly during the performances. That's all part of the "indoor festival" experience, but finicky concertgoers should know what they're getting into.
Verdict: Familiarity breeds content. The Indigos are long-time favorites in Birmingham, and the duo never fails to deliver.

text: It seems to be the consensus among sane individuals that if the United States defaults on its debt, the result would be somewhere between calamitous and apocalyptic. It's the sort of thing that I would recommend avoiding at all costs, but Representative Devin Nunes from California apparently doesn't feel that way. In fact, it seems as if he believes that the "period of crisis" catastrophe provides is just the prescription our log-jammed legislative process needs to start functioning again.

Madison Perri Martin, a Denham Springs 12-year-old who won one of the Louisiana Public Broadcasting's "Louisiana Young Heroes" Award, has been giving herself insulin shots since she was two-years-old.
"She would pinch her 'squeezy,' a piece of her tummy or leg, and push the insulin shot in," her mother Lisa Martin said. "She's always wanted to be at the forefront of it."
The Southside Junior High School seventh grader has been battling the disease since she was an infant but the daunting medical upkeep hasn't stopped her from shining in class, actively petitioning for diabetes funding or raising money and volunteering at the local animal shelter, Lisa Martin said.
"I was very honored. It made me feel accomplished and it's really, really hard what I go through every day but when I got this award it made it worthwhile to know I was a young hero. I was proud and blessed," Madison Martin said.
According to LPB's website, the award winners have "excelled in the classroom, served their community, inspired others through their deeds or strength or character or shown great courage in overcoming adversity, physical or otherwise."
Only middle and high school students under the age of 19 can be nominated and a selection committee consisting of LPB staff and board members, former educators and members of the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge choose the winners.
Madison Martin, who was diagnosed with the Type 1 Diabetes when she was 15-months old, has been a vocal advocate for diabetes awareness since she traveled to Washington, D.C. at the age of 2 to testify in front of Congress, Lisa Martin said. The middle schooler has also testified in front of Louisiana's Legislature for a bill that was signed by the governor last year.
SB 759 by Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, allows diabetic students to submit a diabetes management and treatment plan to their school. It also allows school employee volunteers to receive training to help students with their essential day-to-day care tasks, such as administering insulin or monitoring their blood sugar levels.
Madison Martin and her mother are currently in D.C. at the invitation of the American Diabetes Association to discuss the upcoming fiscal year funding for diabetes research with the Louisiana congressional delegation.
Type 1 Diabetes requires daily insulin injections and multiple blood tests a day. It's usually diagnosed in children and young adults and only 5 percent of people with diabetes have this form of the disease, according to the American Diabetes Association.
"She's always taken an active role with it. We had little flash cards, and instead of the ABCs she was doing 'how many carbohydrates are in a potato.' At a very young age she was very involved," Lisa Martin said.
Madison Martin also has Celiac disease, a gluten allergy, and hypothyroidism, which can cause fatigue, weight gain, or depression.
"It's her disease. It's a part of her. It doesn't define her but it's a huge part of her. It's kind of like her invisible friend," Lisa Martin said.
Aside from her interest in diabetes advocacy, Madison Martin enjoys singing and playing the piano. She also plays softball and has been active in her Girl Scout Troop. Martin, who has dealt with the disease for most of her life, also watches out for other students are diabetic, Lisa Martin said.
"She's my hero. She really is. I do not know another person who does what she does every single day," she said.

NEW HOPE, Georgia - Ruby Lamp was on her way to the mailbox a couple of weeks ago and shuffled her feet just a bit. The toe of her shoe snagged something.
Lamp instinctively knew what it was. She knelt and freed from the ground a piece of metal the size of her hand. It was a fragment from an airplane that crashed there 35 years ago.
Sadie Hurst used to own the house where Lamp lives. She was there when a Southern Airways DC-9 came to rest in the expansive front yard, crashing en route from Huntsville to Atlanta on April 4, 1977, after being caught in a devastating hailstorm.
Hurst is now standing not far from where Lamp found her latest "souvenir," gazing solemnly across the yard.
"Everything about (the crash) is just under the surface," she says. "It doesn't take much to bring it back up."
Much has changed in New Hope, a small crossroads just inside the Paulding County line, not far from Dallas. It's 34 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, but caught in the grasp of the city's suburban sprawl. A Publix anchors the Paradise Shoppes of New Hope, joined by the strip-mall variety pack of nail salons, sandwich shops and a Mexican cantina.
It is a community where new residents quickly learn about and old-timers are connected by a tragedy in which 72 people perished 35 years ago in the worst airline tragedy in Georgia history.
The trauma from the crash of Flight 242 is still just under the surface.
A plaque was unveiled this spring, standing sentinel at the entrance to a local cemetery, listing the names of the casualties on the plane and on the ground, as well as the 22 survivors.
A reunion of survivors and victims' families was held on the anniversary of the crash in April. It's been a regular event every 10 years since 1982. Some family members even now sporadically pull up at Lamp's house and leave small memorials.
"It gives them a piece of mind to see where their loved ones died, and they get an chance to grieve," Lamp says.
Eddie Burkhalter, Sadie Hurst's youngest child, was 2 1/2 when the plane crashed in their yard. Now he's a writer for The Anniston Star and its partner, The Piedmont Journal. He attended the most recent reunion, stirring memories and an interest in the crash he'd left behind.
"It was like watching soldiers recall a long-ago battle," Burkhalter wrote about the reunion. "Someone would remember a passenger's struggle to get free from his seat, or a particular injured woman's scream for help, and almost always someone else would say, 'Yes, I remember that, too.'"
A Huntsville resident named Sharon Griffin contacted The Times in March, and she told me her family's story. Her in-laws, Earl and Emily Griffin, were on the plane. Sharon and her husband, Dennis, were newlyweds, and were left to raise Dennis' younger brother and to deal with so many tangible and intangible reminders.
As Griffin finished, she said, "It was not right to let it go by without stopping a minute to remember."
The people of New Hope, who lost nine of their citizens who were on the ground and had so many lives disrupted, would agree with that sentiment.
In fact, it wasn't long after my story about the Griffins appeared that Hurst emailed me, asking to be put in contact with them.
Wrote Hurst, "I'm sure all the others (in New Hope) would like to tell them how sorry we are for their loss."
Nearly 113 years before the crash, the area was the site of a bloody Civil War battle. As Lamp leads me through the woods behind her house, she shows where she has found minnie balls, the ammo used in the Civil War, less than 100 yards from where she found airplane wreckage.
She noted a ravine where the battle was so fierce, Union soldiers referred to it as "Hell Hole."
"That just adds to the creepiness factor," says Courtney Morris, Hurst's daughter.
Her home sits on Dallas-Ackworth Highway, a spur of Highway 92, which pilot Bill McKenzie and first officer Lyman Keele detected when it was clear the DC-9, with both engines dead because of hail damage, couldn't reach any nearby runways.
Keele was at the controls and initially seemed to have made a perfect landing on the highway. But the left wing clipped a gas station. Pumps exploded, killing one man in the station. It then hit a vehicle, killing seven people inside.
It skidded off the left side of the road and the nose plunged into a deep ditch, tearing the plane apart, most of the fuselage coming to rest in Hurst's yard. It's believed it helped save lives when it split open.
On either side, houses sit only 30 feet or less from the highway. This house is 125 feet or more from the road. No homes were damaged.
"The house was already for sale," Hurst says. "The plane took down everything but the mailbox and a 'For Sale' sign."
Even as cleanup operations were in place, "people swarmed over this yard like vultures," Hurst says. "There were thousands of people."
Some were simply curious. Some were downright ghoulish. Some dug around trying to find valuables. Spots in the yard where dead bodies were stacked didn't grow grass for years.
One day, a caravan of cars bearing Japanese officials arrived. One of the plane's passengers, Masura Ori, was a chemist and apparently a VIP. He had a briefcase attached to his wrist by handcuffs, Hurst was told. But the briefcase was never recovered.
"His wife was there in one of the cars," she recalls. "She got out and picked up a pine cone. She said she just wanted a piece of where her husband died."
Hurst went inside and retrieved a piece of metal to give her. It was like the piece just below the surface Ruby Lamp would find 35 years later, waiting to be brought back up.

This does not look better in anyway than L4D 1.
I got this game, reserved, can't wait!! I love L4D! This game is going to be a great step up from part 1. I can't believe people were trying to boycott. I think the only mistake Valve made was releasing it the same month as COD5. That's like going heads up with a new Mario or Madden game. Hope it does good enough to warrent a part 3.
hope it plays well
I agree those 360 commercials are annoying as hell. But why would you never buy one? Unless you have a gaming PC, then I guess it really is pointless to have one. Anyway as for L4D2 I won't be paying $50 for it on steam, I will just wait until it gets a sale. Woot when I get that crowbar I'm gonna pretend I'm Gorden Freeman!
Can it be November 17th tomorrow? That would be just fine with me.
I understand the need to advertise and such...but 3 360 commercials 3 vids in a row...for a system I'll NEVER buy... cmon. :( Nice vid tho. :)

Avocado toast has been a staple in our house for a few years now. There used to be cafe in our neighborhood that served it and when it closed, we started making our own. It's turned out to be a really great dish for the busy schedule we have as working parents. For starters, it's really easy to make. It takes about five minutes and frequently that happens to be exactly the amount of time we have to generate snacks and lunches for a hungry family. It's also super-versatile–perfect for breakfast or lunch, but also as a side to fill out a dinner when you're reheating leftovers.
Avocados are also one of the few really nutritious foods that most kids seem to like on the first try with no fuss. They're high in healthy fats, potassium, and vitamins B, E, and K. And if you use whole wheat bread for the toast, it's a great way to provide whole grains.
Even if your kid doesn't like avocados, the lemon in this recipe gives it a brightness that might make it more palatable to picky eaters.
Avocado Toast
makes 4-6 slices of avocado toast
6 slices bread
2 avocados
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving
juice of 1 lemon¨2 teaspoons ground cumin, freshly ground if you can swing it
1/2 teaspoon salt
a few turns fresh pepper
Toast your bread.
Mash the avocados in a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Spoon 3 or 4 tablespoons onto each slice and serve.
I like mine with a little extra greenery, so we served it here with watercress, but baby greens or spinach would be wonderful choices. Melted cheese would also make a fantastic addition for a more substantial snack.

Now that Washington's circus-like government shutdown has put a damper on hopes for stronger U.S. economic growth going into next year, dovish Federal Reserve officials again appear to have the upper hand in the way of policy commentary.
Fed doves becoming an endangered species
It's official: Instead of policy doves on the U.S. central bank's Federal Open Market Committee, there are now only "non-hawks." A research note from Thomas Lam at OSK-DMG used the term in referring to recent remarks from once more dovish officials like Charles Evans of the Chicago Fed and San Francisco Fed President John Williams.
Birds of a feather: the Fed's hawk-dove continuum
As the Fed ponders providing another round of stimulus to a weak U.S. economy, it is difficult to keep track of the views of individual central bank officials. This newly-updated hawks-doves chart should help cut through the clutter. One good rule of thumb: keep a close eye on Ben Bernanke. The Fed Chairman is highly respected by his colleagues and his views usually carry the day.
Broadbent's BoE appointment keeps hawks in health
Ben Broadbent's appointment to the Monetary Policy Committee ought to dispel any notions that the Bank of England would be left short of hawks after the departure of Andrew Sentance.

During September's National Hunger Awareness Month each year, ShopRite associates band together to raise help and hope for the hungry in a friendly competition that spans across six states. Sponsored by ShopRite and General Mills, this year's ShopRite Partners In Caring contest resulted in an unprecedented $1.25 million in funds raised for regional food banks in the areas ShopRite serves.
Showing their commitment to the fight against hunger through the collection of donations at checkout and in-store events, ShopRite associates meet this annual challenge head-on, finding new and creative ways to raise funds for their neighbors in need. In addition to fighting hunger in their communities, each of the 41 winning stores are awarded with the selection of two associates to be featured on a special-edition Cheerios box to be sold exclusively at ShopRites stores during the month of March. In addition, each store is awarded $500 (or $3,000 for top five stores) to donate to a hunger-fighting charity of its choice.
Among this year's winning stores is the ShopRite of Clinton, which selected Debby Glen of Lopatcong, Donna Reed of Easton, Pa., and Joe Logan of Flemington to be featured on 125,000 special-edition Cheerios boxes for their store's commitment. The box will be unveiled during a ceremony at the ShopRite of Clinton, 50 Wal-Mart Plaza, Clinton, on March 7 at 2 p.m. Scheduled to attend are Joseph Colalillo, Janice Kovach, Mayor of Clinton Borough, Councilwoman Megan Jones-Holt, Freeholder Matt Holt, Freeholder John King and various General Mills dignitaries.
"We are grateful to our ShopRite associates for their dedication to help those who are hungry in their community," said Christine Magyarits, spokesperson for ShopRite Partners In Caring. "These funds will go a long way toward alleviating hunger in communities served by ShopRite stores."
Other winning stores in the area include ShopRite of Flemington, ShopRite of Greenwich and ShopRite of Mansfield.

POULSBO — Columbia Land Trust has purchased 2,330 acres on the southern flanks of Mount St. Helens from Pope Resources.
The $5.7 million sale conserves approximately nine miles of Pine Creek riparian habitat and adjacent forestlands. Pine Creek is a prime habitat for bull trout, a threatened species listed under the federal Endangered Species Act.
Columbia Land Trust acquired the land with a grant from the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund, the federal program that provides funding to states for species and habitat conservation on non-federal lands. The state Department of Natural Resources administered the grant. The sale represents several years of coordinated efforts by Pope Resources, Columbia Land Trust, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Skamania County to develop an integrated vision for Mount St. Helens forestlands that balances the needs of Pacific Northwest people and communities with wildlife habitat needs.
This parcel, adjacent to Pine Creek, is part of a much larger Mount St. Helens Forest Conservation Project spearheaded by Columbia Land Trust that aims to protect from development 20,000 acres of working forest and critical wildlife habitat around the Swift Reservoir on the Lewis River. The first of four parcels in the Mount St. Helens Forest Conservation Project was conserved in 2010.
"We are pleased to see the second phase of this innovative project move forward, and we are very optimistic about another state grant that will help us conserve an additional 3,074 acres under a conservation easement," said Jon Rose, president of Olympic Property Group, Pope Resources' real estate subsidiary.

Counting, processing votes very serious business
NEW GLASGOW – This provincial election marks the first time that voters have been able to cast their votes throughout the entire election campaign, less the last week up until election day today.
Tabitha Coleman, presiding officer at the Pictou Centre returning office at the Museum of Industry, puts out a sign as voting commences. Polling stations in Pictou Centre will report their vote totals to the returning station and the adding to elect a candidate will begin.
It's this novel voting system that may have helped boost. Metro Halifax reported that Dana Doiron, spokesperson for Elections Nova Scotia, said when advanced polls closed Saturday night, 110,447 people had cast their ballot, about 66 per cent more than in 2009.
Whether or not it translates into a greater turnout remains to be seen. Voter turnout in the province has been declining, from 75.76 per cent in 1988 to 57.91 per cent in 2009.
In the continuous polling, 812 votes were cast and processed through the Pictou Centre returning station. 224 out of district ballots were cast,121 write-in ballots were collected and 28 ballots were received .

Antwan Lowery is trying to make up for lost time in the NFL Draft process.
Lowery lost his starting job at guard before his senior season at Rutgers, so NFL scouts have very little film to review from last fall. Lowery had been on the NFL radar after earning First-Team All-Big East honors as a junior, and he's spent the last few months trying to show scouts he still has that talent.
Lowery earned an invitation to the East-West Shrine Game in January despite his limited playing time last season, and he had another opportunity in front of NFL scouts at Rutgers' pro day on Wednesday. The NFL exposure has reaffirmed Lowery's belief that he has a future in football.
"Even when I was at the East-West Shrine Game just talking to scouts, having them want to talk to me and meet with me and call me, it felt like I would be a good ballplayer," Lowery said. "I just came out here today and I just wanted to leave it all on the field and leave it in their hands."
The East-West Shrine Game helped restore some of Lowery's confidence, as he held his own against defensive linemen from top programs.
"Going against different guys from different conferences really shows you where your game is at," Lowery said. "Sometimes they kind of underestimate us by being in the Big East or the AAC, but when you go out there and you put your hands on a guy from the SEC, you show him it's the same kind of ball."
Lowery carried that positive momentum into pro day. While he didn't produce eye-popping scores in the 40-yard dash or vertical jump, the most important number of his day came on the scale.
Lowery battled weight issues throughout his Rutgers career, but was pleased to check in at 329 pounds on Wednesday. He had weighed in at 355 pounds less than two months ago at the East-West Shrine Game. Lowery said he lost the 26 pounds thanks to his work at Geared 4 Speed, a football training facility in Dallas run by former Colts defensive back Melvin Bullitt.
"I'm not done losing weight, but this is a great start to getting down to a good weight. It was absolutely training," Lowery said. "It was a different kind of training, but the weight was just coming off week-by-week."
When Lowery's agents spoke with NFL scouts early in the draft process, his weight was the top concern. He hopes to lose another 5-10 pounds and vows that he'll keep his weight in check going forward.
"I just have to find a way to stay at it," Lowery said. "I got bigger when I stopped playing, but that wasn't an excuse. I should have maintained my weight. But I got back to where I wanted to get to and it's not going to be an issue again."
Lowery was looking forward to treating himself to a crab dinner cooked by his older brother Antonio, a former Rutgers linebacker. But after that, it's back to training as he'll head home to Miami to prepare for workouts with the Giants, Dolphins and other teams next month.
Lowery isn't concerned about whether or not he'll be picked in the May 8-10 draft. He considers it an accomplishment that he's in this position after a bumpy college career.
"It means everything," Lowery said of potentially reaching the NFL. "It just shows that you never stop fighting for what you love. I've been through a lot. I've been through my ups and my downs, but I've continued to fight. I've stuck with it. I have good support and I just want to thank everybody that stuck with me and believed in me."

WB: Mamata Banerjee offers sops to industrialists
Mamata on Wednesday held a meeting with industrialists and representatives of different industry groups at the state secretariat.
Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday assured industrialists of speedy clearance of land for industries and promised to solve issues related to infrastructure within a specific timeframe.
Banerjee, who has recently taken charge of the core committee on industries, held a meeting with industrialists and representatives of different industry groups at the state secretariat.
In the meeting, leading industry captains such as ITC chairman YC Deveshwar and Harsh Neotia, who heads the Ambuja Realty Group, were present.
Talking to the media after the meeting, Neotia said Banerjee assured entrepreneurs that the government would try to solve problems within a time frame if they informed her of issues related to land and infrastructure.
"The chief minister said if any problem comes up, the government would take a decision on clearance of the land within 30 days," he said.
The state assembly had earlier passed the Land Reforms (Amendment) Bill 2012, amending Section 14Y of the West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955, that lifted the land ceiling in several cases of industrial operations.
"She said industrialists could also give specific proposals to the government to set up new units on available government land," Neotia said, adding that Banerjee urged the business community to invest more in the state.
Describing the meet as "very satisfying", Deveshwar said: "The meeting was to get various ideas with an objective of accelerating economic development and the meeting was good in that respect."
The next meeting of the core committee on industries is scheduled to be held July 3. The committee is an interface Banerjee had created soon after assuming office in May 2011. Earlier, state Finance Minister Partha Chatterjee used to preside over the meetings.

Rock Ridge Music is a label operating in future mode. They're not tied to the old ways of the music industry, in fact they're not locked into the supposed new 360 model adopted by major labels either. Instead, they operate by fulfilling a variety of services including indie marketing, publishing, management, etc. However, not all services are provided to all artists. With some, they work in a traditional label capacity, for others, they provide specific services needed to fill a void in their clients' business models. Rock Ridge Music is definitely not just an independent record label working in a vacuum with just upstart or obscure talent, some of their artists are hugely successful and tout significant followings. Well-known names include Sister Hazel and Reel Big Fish. In this discussion, Rock Ridge's co-founder, Jason Spiewak, speaks with me about his thoughts on the music industry and explains a bit about his label's approach to music in a new media era.
Tell me a little bit about the transition from your earlier days working college radio to working within new media.
The job that really started me on this path was the position that I accepted at TVT, working with a woman named Christina who was one of my bosses at Artemis Records as a marketing person. Christina hired me based on understanding the music market place from a more traditional sense, with the idea that I could apply that view of the world to new and emerging media. It was a great, great opportunity to learn that world on the fly while working with massive artists, people like Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins and Sevendust. It was great because people were willing to return my phone call based on the clout that the acts had, and I got to develop some relationships that way.
TVT was a significant label. It's kind of interesting that they've come across some hard times. What do you think that says about the future of the music industry: one of the top independent labels coming across such difficult situations?
I think the answer to that is less about TVT specifically and more about just what the general climate of the music business is now. TVT had big label infrastructure and a big label agenda- a major label agenda. But we're living in a indie label world and so it's very difficult to operate that way for a long period of time, just based on what the spends need to be. You just flat out can't sell as much product now as you used to be able to sell, so you have to react accordingly.
When Rock Ridge Music was founded…our goal was to make money on our 99-cent downloads. Not to say that we weren't interested in making money on physical products. We definitely were and we still are. But in 2005, Rock Ridge was 50% physical product and 50% digital, which is about where the major labels are now. So in some ways we were ahead of our time. In other ways, frankly, we just couldn't compete in the physical world. So it's not like we weren't trying to sell CDs; we just couldn't sell as many as we could sell downloads.
What would you say the percentage of physical versus digital is now, today, for Rock Ridge?
For Rock Ridge, it's closer to 60/40 digital versus physical. If we're going to include mobile in that, then it goes even further, like 65/35.
Interesting. I believe that your distributor is ADA which is Warner, right?
So what would you attribute that level of success and also the skewed numbers on the digital side in an environment where the industry, from what I understand, a majority of the revenue is still derived from the sale of physical products, the CD?
We're aggressive. In terms of our online marketing, we're not afraid to give music away. We build partnerships and relationships wherever we can and try not to let lawyers interfere. In the end, trying to serve the consumer in a way that makes sense to us and offers value to them. It's tough because there's so much… There's more music being made now and published and distributed than ever. I don't know what the exact figures are, but it's interesting. You could probably dig this up online. There were, I don't know how many, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of records released last year. Of those records, only 6,000 of them sold more than 1,000 copies.
So there's a ton of music being made but people are not buying all that much of it.
Is the formula about spending less overall? Obviously, one of the biggest barriers on the physical side is just getting that on store shelves.
Yeah, that's tough. It's very tough. I mean one of our responses to the changing record retail climate is our evolution into a management company. It's very difficult… And the big labels are doing this, too. It's very difficult to count on record sales as your sole revenue stream. So, if you get into the artist management, then you can view releasing an album as an impetus for touring and publishing opportunities or licensing and make more of your money that way, and not be so concerned with, "if we don't sell 14,000 copies of this record this week, then we're going to be out of business."
Would you call it the 360 model?
Well, I wouldn't… The 360 model, no. Because when we manage an artist we may or may not have that artist signed for record distribution. So we are a true management company. For example, Tony Lucca, we manage him, but we do not distribute his records.
On the record label side, however, is there a business without the other arms of monetization of the artist: music, touring, etc.?
There is?
Yes, absolutely, there is. We do have licensing deals with our acts where the artist maintains ownership of their master. We just license the right to release that product in either a specific territory or in the world. Our deals are generally 50/50. Some skew more or less, depending on the amount of work involved or the goals of that specific artist and what their needs are.
When we set out in 2004 to do business as a record company only, the thought was that there were a number of bands in the world that could do X, Y and Z, but they couldn't do A, B, and C. At that time it was more about distribution. Now distribution's a bit easier to come by in terms of getting the record distributed digitally. Bands might not have had the resources to work a record to radio or press, or to promote the record online, or to do street marketing… And so to this day we still offer those label services and we'll license a record for a share of the profit on the back end.
If you could, tell me a little bit about the success of some of your acts. For example, Sister Hazel and their approach to new media and how you approach new media, and maybe a little bit about your success stories.
The nice thing about the Hazel story is that was a band that was really built from a marketing and branding standpoint to sit very well and be rewarded very well by the online world. Sister Hazel, from the inception of the band, emphasized community and family. We saw with the proliferation of all the social networking sites, first MySpace and now FaceBook and now Twitter, people just want to be included. They want to connect with people and they want to share ideas and share opinions and find people they connect with.
Well, Sister Hazel has been all about that. So when Sister Hazel started the Rock Boat ten years ago. Their goal was to create a unique experience for their fans to connect with each other in real time. They rented at first half of a Carnival cruise ship. Now they have…the entire boat.
My point with that as it relates to new media, we tried to apply the Rock Boat ethic to our approach to marketing Sister Hazel online. So what that means is, in terms of practical applications, be really active in social networking worlds, giving added value to fans. Like there's a 24/7 streaming widget that lives at HazelRadio.com where fans can go and just listen to a rotating selection of Sister Hazel songs for free whenever they want. There's all sorts of good stuff in there, like there are buy links if you want to get the record or buy the mp3. But we're not doing it for an e-commerce reason. We're doing it basically to build that direct connection to fans. Like if someone's willing to download the Hazel Radio widgets to their desktop, they're allowing us to communicate with them. That's what we've tried to do.
One other thing that I think is important from a Rock Ridge company philosophy standpoint with online is it sounds so simple, but this is a concept that people that don't get new media fall into all the time. When you turn a computer on, it doesn't automatically direct you any specific place. People are always powered by the decisions that they make and there's a lot of value in trying to maximize people's impulsive nature. When we think about positioning any act online, we try to figure out a way to make whatever their happenstance or specific directed path to a certain artist is, we want to make that landing point as compelling as we can. So people are like, "oh, this is dope, I've got to tell my friends about it." Or, "I got a free video clip." So, people get value when they show up at your front door instead of oftentimes walking away feeling empty or confused or whatever.
You mentioned the following that Sister Hazel has with their die-hard Hazelnut fans. Do you feel that this is part of the problem today with the bigger labels, that they're still creating music for the masses, yet there's not really a strong connection with the fans, so the connection is short-lived for a lot of these artists?
It's an interesting question because it always depends what your goals are. I think that the big label system doesn't emphasize longevity the same way an indie label like Rock Ridge does. We want the artists to have a sustainable career for a long period of time. The big label view is- "let's go out and let's sell one million copies of one record and let's spend accordingly." What Rock Ridge does is let's sell 100,000 copies of ten records and spend accordingly. If we just take that timetable and stretch it out, the artist can build a career around that because there are all sorts of touring opportunities. There's all sorts of chances to sell merchandise, chances to connect with their fans, without compromising the fans' integrity or by shoving a piece of product down somebody's throat. You give people a chance to try and live with things a bit more. In the end, you're still selling the same amount of records but you give the artist an ability to develop a career in real time.
So a lot of it is artist development.
Yeah. That's a term that gets maligned a bit in our industry. Artist development, especially now more than ever needs to happen organically. People didn't latch onto Janis Joplin because she was the prettiest girl in the room. But she delivered music at a time to an audience that wanted to embrace her and her vibe and her free spirit. That's what we're coming back to, I think, is people connecting directly with a specific act because it speaks to them.
Talk for a moment about the sale of physical product. Do you think it's going to taper off and turn mostly to a digital business?
There's always going to be physical product. I believe that. People love to shop. If you think about it, clothing is a difficult example, but other than clothes, why would anyone walk into a store to buy anything at all? Because you want to go there. You want to hold it in your hands, you want to experience it, you want to read the packaging. You want to feel like you're getting a fair price. And there's also the sake of convenience. Like now with the big box retailers, you can go in and buy everything from a refrigerator and toilet paper to a new CD release to your toiletries to beach chairs. You can get a whole lot of shopping done.
But specifically about physical retail, I think that there was a lot of damage done to the perception of the value of the CD in recent times. And I think the format needs to change. Maybe it's cool USB flash drives where you get a record, three videos, a whole bunch of photos and a special message from the artist. I think that the product really does need to change and evolve to change this perception of why bother buying just a CD, it's just a tiny package. Once upon a time people bought vinyl because you had to have the cool artwork. Now there's just no perception of that value, even though the artwork is cool. It's just consumers don't really get as excited.
I think that, yes, there will always be a physical product. I just think that a lot of work needs to be done to repair what the physical product is that people buy and the perception of that product.
Sister Hazel that's been around for well over a decade, who obviously came from the major label structure. How have the sales of the physical product declined for them?
Well, Sister Hazel, over the course of their career, has sold about two million records. And the interesting thing about Hazel is they've always been ahead of the curve in physical versus digital. Or, more accurate to say that since 2004, since Rock Ridge began to help them evolve their online business, Hazel has been at least double digit percentage points ahead of industry standard, digital versus physical.
What's very interesting, I think, is that their latest record which was an acoustic record where they re-recorded a bunch of newer material and the hit songs in like an intimate acoustic setting in a studio outside of Atlanta, Georgia. That record, when it hit, I believe was 48% digital, 52% hard product the first week. The band sells a ton of music online. And, again, they've found ways to stay ahead of that curve.
But the band sold significantly more records on Universal than they have on their own or any piece of product that's come out through Rock Ridge. But what I don't know, and would find interesting, I don't know this, but I would imagine if they haven't made more money putting the records out on their own…They may not have made more money, but I know that they've been able to, for lack of better words, get more value out of releasing the records on their own and touring on their own terms and doing all the things that they feel that they need to do outside of big label influence.
Of course. Different economics.
Right, totally.
And as far as splits with bands like this, is it something similar to what we're hearing about, even though I know it's not a 360 deal where they're looking at a 50/50 kind of situation? Or does it just vary?
It really does vary. I think it's less about Hazel specifically. I would say in the industry in general, the big labels are trying to edit their deal structures to meet the needs of the acts. It's interesting. There's like the haves and the have-nots with the big labels. Every now and then there's still a band that's like buzzing and exciting and big online profile and they get a bigger than it needs to be check from a big label for seven albums, and end up going down that path. But you hear about that less and less. Now it's more established artists that are looking to do a license or a one-off relationship with a big label, so they can get that big distribution and marketing push. Or, an indie label that has the infrastructure to meet those needs of the established act and the act relies more on their own resources and less on the label to get things done.
Is part of getting that done, creating that visibility, that awareness, deals like the Sync My Ride deal with Ford?
The Sync My Ride thing is huge. But, yeah… especially now> It becomes about relationships that enable bands to deliver music to new fans in a way that feels good to those people. That good feeling is important because there's so much noise and clutter in terms of the marketplace that if you can get a clean, earnest, direct opportunity to deliver new music to potential and new fans, that's what Sync My Ride is all about for Sister Hazel.
Sister Hazel has sold two million records. Of those two million decisions to buy Sister Hazel music, now there's only…let's say 200,000 people that would be willing to buy Sister Hazel music now. What happened to those other 1.8 million people? I know there's some overlap and some people own all the records.
My point is that there are a lot of folks that just need to know that there's a new Sister Hazel record out and they need to hear it and see if they like it in order to know that they would want to buy it. That's what's so hard to do now, is to reach those people on the periphery and to reach new people that have never heard Sister Hazel music or haven't heard it since the days of the radio hits. Sync My Ride is going to give us an ability to deliver music to those people.
Other than free downloads via the Sync My Ride campaign, what other types of activities is Ford involved in with the band? Are they involved in touring or anything else? Maybe some television outside of advertising? Anything else you might want to mention?
Well, we did this cool thing with them at Summer Fest in Milwaukee, where Sister Hazel did a full rock show and then before the show fans had an opportunity play the video game Rock Band with Sister Hazel. That was a co-branded event with Ford and their Drive One Tour. So the Ford folks were there distributing their materials. The band was there hanging out and playing the video game with fans. People got music and prizes and all sorts of good stuff. So there will be more co-branded opportunities like that for the band and Sync My Ride down the road.
How effective do you think radio is today?
It's still extremely effective. I mean, nothing will sell a record now better than radio. I've worked records that had massive online buzz. It's a lot of work to try and get four million views on YouTube to translate into sales. But if you get four million spins at radio, it's just a different thing because those gatekeepers are very particular. And radio is driven by their own agenda of ratings and advertising and so on. So if there is a track that is going to be that reactive and radio stations want to play it, chances are you're going to sell a lot of records.
However, there would obviously still be a very small amount of space for artists on commercial radio.
What about college radio? Is that effective at all anymore? I know at one point it really meant something. Is there a place for building awareness on college radio today?
I think college radio has its place in each market and in some places it's more meaningful than others. Generally speaking, you cannot count on college radio to be a driver for record sales. But the new outlets, like the new college radio, in my mind is online radio. Some of it is freestanding independent programming; some of it is just listening to the online affiliate of a terrestrial station or a great online station like WOXY.com.This is an interesting thing, too. A horse that we've been betting on from day one at Rock Ridge is the eventual overtaking of unfortunately satellite and local commercial stations to a certain degree, once we have Web capable cars.
As soon as we have Internet in the car, it's over. AOL Radio is going to crush people and so will Pandora and so will Slacker. We've been working on and maintaining relationships with those outlets for years at this point. Aside from the fact that I listen… I love Pandora. I love Slacker. I love AOL Radio. I listen constantly.
And we're almost there, I guess, with the apps that they have now.
It's almost there.
Very smart for Sirius and XM to adapt and develop an iPhone app. It might be company saving on their part.

Silly me, I thought it was an .........accident. I received two forms, one right after the other, not one or two days apart. This was weeks back. And mind you, this is on top of the Census stalking ......
Counting Once, Counting Twice: U.S. Census Sending Millions of Americans A Second Form
(CNSNews.com) – About 40 million "replacement" Census questionnaires are being sent nationwide to households in areas with low mail return rates, even if those households already have returned the first form they received, Census officials announced on Thursday.
And just days after completing their paid training, hundreds of Census enumerators in Northern Virginia were abruptly laid off without explanation on Thursday.
Census officials said mailing out a second form is designed to increase census mail participation, get a better headcount for the states, and save taxpayers the cost of sending out census takers to collect information.
The Census Bureau estimates that mailing a second questionnaire "in targeted areas" could save more than $500 million and raise the participation rate by 7 to 10 percentage points.
But what about double counting?
"[P]eople who have completed and returned their questionnaires need not fill out the replacement Census form," said a news release issued Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau's Charlotte region. "You should only complete and return one census form," the release said. "Extra census forms should be discarded."

To measure changes in gender equality and women's empowerment, we must be aware of what is measured, who measures it and how. Situating changes in women's lives within this broader context and perspective, we can see a qualitative difference between interventions that successfully help women to get along in a man's world, versus successes we can show in making that world more fundamentally equal.
Before thinking about HOW we measure change, we must be clear on WHY we measure changes in gender relations and women's empowerment. Monitoring or exploring change for CARE is important to provide:
Within CARE, we also have the responsibility to ensure that any analysis reflects organizational principles and ethics. Individuals, communities and key stakeholders can mutually analyze findings and develop concrete actions to advance gender equity and equal human rights for women and men.
A myriad of approaches can complement one another in studies looking to understand what changes have occured and why over the life of a program or project.
In addition, this section highlights further exercises with communities to gain their perspectives and analyze change.
To extract how CARE's work has contributed to changes in women's lives, some teams used:
as a basis for comparison across different groups or time periods, to illustrate CARE's contributions to change.
To understand change, teams have also repeated situational analysis tools before, during and after a project cycle to track changes in gender relations.
As discussed earlier, given the diversity of contexts - and of women and men - across the communities where CARE works, trying to pin down indicators that measure strategic changes that represent strategic shift in gender relations raises a number of challenges.
Currently, CARE is hosting a learning initiative on measuring women's empowerment. As a part of this work, a series of discussions have been hosted on how various teams have approached the question of measuring impact on women's empowerment.
These discussions are available on the WEIMI wiki on CARE's Gender Wiki
CARE adopted the Millennium Development Indicators "plus" (MDI+) approach to measure the long-term impact of programs. Indicators are being developed based on the MDGs and their related indicators.
Using the MDI+ approach enables CARE to communicate our impact based on a framework that is externally recognized and internationally agreed upon. The MDIs are accepted and used by peer NGOs, development research institutions, international development agencies and many others. Using this framework allows us to communicate succinctly and powerfully what our contributions to development have been and eliminates the need for us to provide lengthy explanations of CARE specific indicators ('CARE lingo").
However, solely measuring our impact based on the MDGs and MDIs would not tell the full story of CARE's work or priorities. For example MDIs are not adequate to demonstrate our work and contribution to women's empowerment. That is why our approach is MDI plus, "the plus "refers to:
For women's empowerment, these indicators include:
Also, the women's empowerment framework offers a set of dimensions for women's empowerment across agency, structures and relations. From this experience, the team also distilled a critical core set of 13 indicators based on the study.

WINSLOW TWP. — Winslow Township police will conduct a sobriety checkpoint sometime during the week of Nov. 19.
The checkpoint is meant to spot and arrest drunken drivers, authorities said, and is funded by the Drunk Driving Enforcement Fund.
Police purposely do not announce specifically where or when they will set up the checkpoint.
The Township of Winslow, Camden County Prosecutors Office, and the Division of Highway Traffic Safety offer the following advice:
• If you plan to drink, designate a driver or someone who will not drink alcohol before going out.
• Take mass transit, a taxi or ask a sober friend to drive you home.
• Spend the night where the activity is held.
• Always buckle up regardless of your seating position in the vehicle.
• If you're intoxicated and traveling on foot, the safest way to get home is to take a cab or have a sober friend or family member drive you to your doorstep.

Mid-Michigan growers and officials of the Michigan Asparagus Committee say a combination of warm days and cold nights made it a near-perfect season for growing and harvesting the popular vegetable. It's expected to continue for several more weeks.
Geri R. Hingston operates a farm at 18670 Dice in Merrill with her husband, Jim H. Hingston.
"We grow asparagus and strawberries on about 3 acres," she said. "It's a really healthy vegetable, so more people are eating it."
Asparagus is high in folic acid and is a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin. It has no fat or cholesterol and is low in sodium.
"We can snap it above ground, so every inch is edible," she said.
Michigan asparagus is harvested for a six- to seven-week period from late April or early May through mid- to late-June. Once the harvest ends, the vegetable is imported from other locales including Peru, Mexico and Chile, supplying cooks year-round.
In popularity, John Bakker, executive director of the Michigan Asparagus Committee, said it is the fastest growing vegetable on a per capita basis. Michigan ranks third in the nation for production behind Washington and California.
State growers produce up to 25 million pounds a year. Hart and Shelby in Oceana County, produces the greatest volume, along with substantial production in southwestern Michigan between South Haven and Benton Harbor, according to committee officials.
Annually, Michigan growers harvest about 11,000 acres of asparagus. Once harvested, 25 percent of the harvest is sold as fresh in grocery stores, roadside stands and farmers' markets. The remaining 75 percent is sold to processors for freezing or canning.
The value of the state's crop is estimated at $15 million.
"Consumption has doubled in the past 10 years," Bakker said. "You find lots of people grilling asparagus. That's a relatively new way to eat it."
Hingston is among asparagus fans who enjoy preparing the spears on the grill. She marinates it in a flavorful mix of soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder and a little pepper.
Hingston's crop is quickly snatched up by regulars who sign on annually for their share of the harvest.
Occasionally, she has leftovers available for sale, too.
This year, regulars paid $1.25 a pound for the spears. The family sells orders of 20 pounds or more for $1.15 a pound. In other parts of the state, the vegetable fetches up to $1.49 a pound, Bakker said.
While many asparagus fans enjoy the vegetable grilled, others enjoy it just as much steamed, boiled, stir-fried, microwaved, roasted or baked into quiches, casseroles, soups and other dishes.
The most common way to prepare the spears is steaming. Place a tied bundle in an upright position, with the tips extending an inch or more above boiling salted water. Cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes or until tender.
Asparagus and Scallops
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 whole canned chipotle chile pepper, pureed or minced
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
11⁄2 pounds sea scallops
3⁄4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup water
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Lime wedges for garnish
In a small bowl, combine the oil, lime juice, sugar, garlic, chipotle chile pepper and cilantro. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
Remove and discard the tough muscle from the scallops.
In a small bowl, combine the cornmeal, coriander, salt and black pepper. Toss the scallops in the cornmeal mixture and set aside.
Pour the water into a heavy skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
Wipe the skillet and add the butter. Place over medium heat to melt the butter. Add the scallops and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned and opaque.
Divide the asparagus evenly among 4 plates. Top with the scallops. Drizzle with the chipotle dressing and garnish with lime wedges. Makes 4 servings. (Recipe adapted from "Simply Organic" by Jesse Ziff Cool)

Baked Asparagus
1 pound asparagus

1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Arrange asparagus in baking dish in single layer. Dot with butter or margarine, sprinkle with seasonings, cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Makes 4 servings. (Recipe from Katona Farms, Chesterfield, N.J.)
Roasted Asparagus, Mushroom and Goat Cheese Salad
For the vinaigrette:
1⁄2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 to 2 medium lemons (about 1⁄4 cup)
2 ounces finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the salad:
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 ounces porcini or cremini mushrooms (or a combination), stemmed and cut into thick slices
Juice of 1⁄2 a medium lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 thin asparagus spears, tough ends trimmed
2 ounces mache (about 4 cups; may substitute baby spinach or arugula)
2 ounces goat cheese
For the vinaigrette: Place the oil in a small bowl. Whisk in the lemon juice and cheese; season with the salt and pepper.
For the salad: Position the top oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the broiler element; preheat the broiler.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and do not move or shake the pan for 2 minutes; that will allow them to take on some color. Cook for about 7 minutes total, turning them so they brown on all sides. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, place the asparagus on a baking sheet or dish and drizzle with oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Broil for 6 to 7 minutes, turning once or twice. Transfer to a cutting board to cool, then cut into 2-inch pieces.
Toss the mushrooms with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette in a small bowl.
In a separate medium bowl, toss the mache with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette.
To serve, place the greens on a large plate. Top with the mushrooms and asparagus; crumble the goat cheese on top. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste. (Recipe from The Washington Post)

The range of Italian menu options at Bambino's Bistro in Auburn is fairly standard. What's not standard is the restaurant's elegant execution and intimate ambiance.
Small touches – from starched, white linens to house-made mozzarella — soon reveal the big-city lineage of this mom-and-pop venture.
Three years ago, owners Guillermo and Gabriella Salinas left their busy Brooklyn restaurant to transform an Auburn pizza parlor into a small family business that actually allowed them to see their family.
Bambino's Bistro – with 20 seats, lots of handsome woodwork, warm peach walls, and stylish, upholstered banquettes — still connects to a pizza counter out back. But it's clear from the polished service and added touches (such as replacing silver from a napkin-lined tray) that the owners are as passionate about their fine-dining option as they are about their award-winning pizza, panini, and wings operation.
When we finally made it to Bambino's for dinner, after weeks of waiting for the weather to break, the restaurant was nearly empty — no surprise, since the weather was still stormy, and it was the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday.
But a steady stream of diners, looking like regulars and toting wine bottles, soon filled the empty seats. (With no liquor license, Bambino's allows customers to bring their own, for a $6 corking fee).
Nibbling on fresh-baked focaccia, we learned a bit about Bambino's history from our savvy young waitress, who had also worked in the owners' Brooklyn restaurant. At her suggestion, our opening act was fritura di calamari with a spicy marinara sauce ($8.95). Flash-fried and heaped high, the calamari was in turn crispy, chewy and tender — a tribute to its Mediterranean roots.
The house salad — insalata mista ($4.95) — quenched our midwinter craving for raw vegetables with a tangle of field greens, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, and vivid green olives, drizzled with a fruity vinaigrette.
It seemed almost mandatory to order ravioli, which was billed on the menu as the best in town. (And which lived up to its hype.). The ravioli di funghi ($14.95) made a regal entrance in a shallow, white, wide-rimmed bowl: a half-dozen pasta pillows, plump with woodsy porcini mushrooms and fontina cheese, gilded with a scrumptious gorgonzola sauce and a judicious sprinkle of basil.
The evening's sole disappointment was the petti di pollo Marsala ($14.95). The dry, boneless chicken breasts seemed to repel, rather than absorb, a lackluster Marsala sauce, which is usually a surefire favorite from the Sicilian kitchen.
Atonement arrived, however, in the form of two ethereal desserts. The brittle-crusted, light-textured, very vanilla crème brulee ($7.95) appeared on the specials menu, which changes every Friday. But it never rotates off the menu, we were told, as customers threaten mutiny if the crème brulee goes missing.
A luxurious lemon mousse ($5.95) featured a triple-tiered cylinder of sponge cake, creamy lemon mousse and tart lemon curd garnished with strawberries and fresh mint.
"Do you make these in-house — or in heaven?" we asked the waitress as we licked our lips. "All made right here," she replied.
"You must have a pastry chef?" we marveled. "Nope, we all just pitch in and help with the desserts."
Sure sounds like an Italian kitchen to me.

Syracuse, N.Y. — Dajuan Coleman, the Syracuse forward/center, is facing another medical intervention and rehabilitation after his second surgery in two seasons.
The Orange big man will likely have the unspecified procedure next week, when Dr. Bradley Raphael performs the surgery on an out-patient basis.
Coleman's teammates on Tuesday reacted to the news that they would lose him again this season.
Here's what they said:
C.J. Fair: "I can feel his pain as far as going through surgery — season-ending surgery. It's tough for that. And then he had surgery last year and missed some time. I know it's tough. But it's something he has to get done."
Rakeem Christmas: "I feel bad when anybody has to go through surgery for something like that, especially when it's one of my teammates. We're all gonna have his back, we're all going to be there for him. Just hoping that he gets back safely. He's a strong person. He'll come back strong. He came back strong last year."
Baye Moussa Keita: "It's kind of tough. Every player on this team, you wish for him the best. He's a hard worker. He's one of the guys who comes every day and works. It's just incredible. And to see him have to go through two surgeries in two years, it's just kinda … it's kind of depressing for me because we need him as a player. Now, we're just gonna have to do it with me, Jerami and Rock. It's going to be kind of hard at first. We needed him in there. That is one extra body and we needed him to help us during games."

OXFORD, Miss. - Courtney Upshaw served a one-quarter suspension to begin Saturday's game at Ole Miss.
Alabama coach Nick Saban declined to detail the infraction after the 52-7 victory.
When Upshaw finally got in the game he was ferocious and disruptive.
The senior linebacker had just two tackles, but both were big sacks including the first when he stripped Ole Miss quarterback Randall Mackey forcing a fumble recovered by Ed Stinson.
Two plays later, Alabama running back Jalston Fowler ran into the end zone to put Alabama comfortably ahead 38-7 in the third quarter.
On the next drive, Upshaw dropped Mackey again for a 9-yard loss pinning the Rebels on their own 3-yard line.
Alabama would force a punt, then answer with another scoring drive starting on the Rebels' 41-yard line capped by AJ McCarron's 10-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Gibson for a 45-7 lead.
For the season, Upshaw has 20 tackles and three-and-a-half sacks. He also had the 45-yard interception return for a touchdown in a 38-10 win at Florida on Oct. 2.
"Courtney did a really good job, played a really good game," Saban said. "He didn't play in the first quarter. ...We have internal rules and things we have in our program. Courtney's been a great ambassador and representative for the University of Alabama. He did a good job for tornado relief and raising money and did a great job. He made a poor judgement and part of what we decided to do was not start him in this game."
