2 bedroom flat adjoined to my home with separate entrance in a quiet street. Private deck with views to the Hinterland and close to Woombye Village.
Spacious, large modern house set in a peaceful setting in Woombye, min drive from the Big Pineapple. Close to town, nice, large relaxation area outside with pretty views and garden.
Happy home in a lovely street. Palmwoods is delightful, close to train, Woombye, Nambour, 10 mins to highway, 2 mins to Ricks Garage for the best hamburgers on the coast. This house & bathroom is wheelchair friendly, and garden somewhat. 15 mins to the Uni, and beach. 10 mins to the lovely hinterland town of Montville. We are literally at the foothills of the Hinterland.
Room for rent in three bedroom house in palmwoods. Large bedroom with built in wardrobe, shared bathroom but also have one down stairs. Large backyard and deck, House is fully furnished already just need to bring your bedroom things. Internet is available aswell if you like (not included in rent). air-conditioned, bedroom has celling fan.
Three good sized bedrooms available in a 4 bed + study home that I fall in love with every weekend. A room will set you back between $165 and $185 dependent on preferences; parking, room, pets. Bills average $30p/w each, includes electricity, internet, water and pool servicing and if they come in under this we can chat about how you would like me to treat the excess balance (Xmas drinks or ….a Jet ski!!!…when I stop dreaming). Privacy is not an issue, inside or out, with a fully fenced yard multiple living areas within as well as study/guests room. With a double garage and off street parking there is plenty of space for your car as well. I am sure my mum would love to hear me say….."I finally appreciate gardening…or the fruits of my labour from it". The are two lime trees (I cant keep the Corona's up to them), mandarin, tomatoes and an unidentified berry tree out the front that hasn't managed to kill me yet. The layout of the house was well considered and allows for a variety of situations. Very little noise travels to the bedrooms, particularly from outdoor areas (surprisingly). The view of the pool alone when you step out back is enough to keep me away from the beach and out of the sun on a hot summer day and certainly doesn't go astray to helping unwind on a Friday afternoon…or any day of the week really. Adult friendly 9 months of the year and you don't have to do a thing (unless of course, that's your thing). Just keep an eye and ear out for the water level dropping and you will be set for summer. I can appreciate your feeling that Palmwoods is so far from town, but something is tempting you if you have read this far. The location is best suited to those working in Nambour but just don't want to live another summer in there. With burgers worth travelling over mountains for, the diner can't be beat on any day of the week. Only 1.2km from the train station, more than half of which is down a shaded back track then straight past Palmwoods Pub. The IGA do a killer hot chook for the times you have just one too many. House is fully furnished with all essentials and more room still to fill. Heaps of space to bring anything to call this place your home. Rooms available from 15th December 2016. Bond required and rent paid fortnightly.

Adm Raymond Ames Spruance
Jul. 3, 1886
Baltimore City
Maryland, USA
Dec. 13, 1969
Pebble Beach
Monterey County
California, USA
US Navy Admiral.
He commanded the US Navy forces during two of the most significant naval battles that took place in the Pacific theater during World War II, the Battle of Midway and the Battle of the Philippine Sea is thought by many to have been one of the finest naval tacticians in modern history. The Battle of Midway was the first major victory for the US over Japan and was probably the turning point of the Pacific war.
Born Raymond Ames Spruance, his family moved to Indianapolis, Indiana when he was young. After graduating from Shortridge High School there and further schooling at the Stevens Preparatory School in Hoboken, New Jersey, he was accepted into the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland in 1903, graduating in 1906.
His first tour of duty was aboard the battleship USS Iowa, followed by another tour aboard the battleship USS Minnesota during the world cruise of the Great White Fleet. He was commissioned an ensign in September 1908 and he underwent additional training in electrical engineering at General Electric before being posted to battleship USS Connecticut in May 1910. After serving aboard the USS Cincinnati, he became commander of the destroyer USS Bainbridge in March 1913 with the rank of lieutenant (junior grade).
In May 1914 he returned to the US and performed shore duty as Assistant to the Inspector of Machinery at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia. Two years later, he aided in outfitting the battleship USS Pennsylvania, then under construction in the yard. After its completion, he joined its crew and remained aboard until November 1917. He then became Assistant Engineer Officer of the New York Navy Yard, New York City, New York.
At the end of World War I, he served as executive officer on the passenger steamship USS Agamemnon which returned American troops home before moving through a succession of engineering postings and destroyer commands. Between April 1919 and June 1921, he successively outfitted and commanded the destroyers USS Aaron Ward and USS Percival. He was then assigned to the Bureau of Engineering, Navy Department, Washington, DC, to the Commander Naval Forces Europe, followed by command of the destroyers USS Dale and USS Osborne.
In July 1926 he attended the Senior Course at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, followed by a tour in the Office of Naval Intelligence in Suitland, Maryland before being posted to the battleship USS Mississippi in October 1929 as executive officer. During the 1930s he held several engineering, intelligence, staff and Naval War College positions. In February 1940, at the rank of captain, he became Commandant of the 10th Naval District with headquarters at San Juan, Puerto Rico. The following October he was promoted to the rank of rear admiral and in August 1941, he completed his tour in Puerto Rico.
The following month he assumed command of Cruiser Division Five, and after the US entered World War II on December 7, 1941, he served in the Pacific Theater as second in command during operations in the Marshall Islands and at Wake Island in February 1942, and in the same capacity during the Marcus Island operations the following months. He was Junior Task Force Commander during the Battle of Midway in June 1942, when his force assisted in inflicting on the Japanese Navy its first decisive defeat in three hundred and fifty years.
Following the Battle of Midway, he reported as Chief of Staff and Aide to the Commander-in-Chief, US Pacific Fleet, and in September of that year was designated Deputy Commander-in-Chief. In August 1943 he became Commander Central Pacific Force, re-designated in April 1944 as Commander Fifth Fleet.
He was promoted to the rank of admiral in February 1944 and during these Pacific assignments, he was in overall command of the occupation of the Gilbert Islands in November 1943, the invasion of the Marshall Islands in January 1944, the operations for the capture of Saipan, Guam and Tinian in the Mariana Islands, which included the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and later in 1945 for the capture of the islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
In November 1945 he became Commander-in-Chief, US Pacific Fleet and Pacific Ocean Areas and in February 1946 he became President of the Naval War College, retiring in that position at the rank of admiral in July 1948, with 41 years of continuous military service.
Among his military decorations and awards include the Navy Cross, the Navy Distinguished Service Medal with 3 gold stars, the Army Distinguished Service Medal, the World War I Victory Medal, the American Defense Service Medal with Fleet Clasp, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, the Navy Occupation Service Medal, with Asia Clasp the Belgian Grand Officer of the Order of Leopold with Palm and the Croix de Guerre with Palm, the Greek Gold Cross of the Chevalier of the Order of the Savior, and the British Honorary Companion of the Order of the Bath.
In 1952 he was appointed as American ambassador to the Philippines by President Harry S. Truman, serving until 1955.
He died at the age of 83.
The destroyers USS Spruance, lead ship of the Spruance-class of destroyers, and USS Spruance, the 61st ship of the Arleigh Burke class destroyer, were named in his honor. The main auditorium of the US Naval War College is memorialized as Spruance Hall and his bust is in the lobby.

Hot Dog Of The Week: Seattle Style
Also meant to say, I am definitely going to do the Italian Hot Dog soon. I need to get out to Jersey and hit a few of the better known spots, I feel it would be a shame to do it without some first person researh. As much as I'd like to spend every day researching hot dogs all over the country it's not always possible.
Hot Dog Of The Week: Seattle Style
Philly is also apparently in the midst of a supposed "upscale hot dog" trend, at least according to a few articles, but it's mostly just a few places doing clever hot dogs. We could still use a decent middle of the road hot dog joint in a good location that's open LATE.
I'm not against fancying up a hot dog, It's just never done right, and almost never done with any respect for hot dog history. I cooked in a 4 star restaurant for years and saw plety of chefs with wacky ideas for hot dogs, but few of them really knew much about making hot dogs or sausages.. for them it was a gimmick of using a "low" concept in a "high" place, kind of like when fine artists enlarge a comic strip, transfer it a to a canvas and sell it for $3,000,000.
If a chef who really knew charcuterie and hot dog/sausage making (an apprenticeship in germany or some old style makers here) and spent some time reseaching some killer recipes for chili and various hot dog sauces, some based on regional traditions (flo's sauce, greek sauce, etc) you could really put together something amazing... I would want to eat there. And I would want to design the sign, and the menu.
Hot Dog Of The Week: Seattle Style
While cream cheese on a hot dog might not be to everyone's taste, I would hardly call it "fancy" or "trendy" especially when we have chefs doing things like kobe beef vietnamese banh mi hot dogs. Which actually sounds pretty good, but it's not really a hot dog.
The Seattle dog might be unconventional but it evolved "naturally" the way many regional styles have - almost randomly, from a mix of regional tastes, habits and available ingredients. It's considered a rather "low brow" thing in Seattle, something dirty you do at 2am and feel bad about the next day.. I think Seattle is almost embarrased about it. I combed the Seattle "blogosphere" for 4 hours and found nothing but picture after picture of cutesy cupcakes and vegan gluten-free noodles with heirloom tomatoes.
Also some of the better Seattle carts do use real german style wieners from here: http://www.bavarianmeats.com/ that are probably terrific with a swear of cream cheese and some mustard. The fact that the cream cheese dog goes back to 2000 and maybe started outside the stadiums - popular with working class folks as well as the hipsters - means it will probably be around for a while, or at least longer than seaweed wrapped wasabi dogs, or vegan dogs topped with chutney and yogurt (that's what I call trendy).
I do agree that a salmon dog sounds disgusting. The only time fish belongs anywhere near a hot dog is the Philly Combo. And that fish cake is 90% potato.
You might be interested to learn that a lot of Seattleites think that the Cream Cheese dog actually originated in NEW JERSEY, because of a certain episode of the Sopranos that I can't believe nobody has mentioned yet... where Carmela makes a 'Lincoln Log Sandwich' of hot dogs and cream cheese, that some think may be a jersey/italian thing..
Hot Dog Of The Week: Seattle Style
Really? That's still pretty new in terms of bona fide regional dog styles. The earliest reference I could find was a 2006 Seattle Times article, where the owner of Matt's Famous remarked about "some customers asking for cream cheese":
If any former or current Seattle folks have any insight into the history of the cream cheese dog, feel free to chime in!
cream cheese isn't so bad on a dog, Crif dog in NYC does a killer everything bagel style dog, and cabbage is what slaw and kraut are made out of anyway.
The BBQ sauce is a bit close to ketchup for my taste but I'd be all over the Sriracha.
Weekend Cook and Tell: What's In Your Pantry?
Ok so I dug deep into the pantry.. came up with vermicelli noodles in salt pork/chicken innard broth with sausage, dumplings, pickled leeks and a panko crusted crispy poached egg. Here's the recipe...
4 cups water
2 oz salt pork
4 oz random chicken innards
1 carrot
1 onion
1 small celery piece

October 2013 – October 2014
The Living Writers Series continues with poet Philip Pardi and a discussion about the craft of poetry. His first book, Meditations on Rising and Falling, won the Brittingham Poetry Prize and the Writers' League of Texas Poetry Award. A former human rights activist and labor organizer, Pardi teaches at Bard College.
For more, read Pardi's "How a Poem Happens."
The Living Writers Series continues with playwright Tammy Ryan, author of Lost Boy Found in Whole Foods, a full-length play that won the Francesca Primus Prize in 2012, awarded by the American Theater Critics Association. Ryan's plays have been performed across the United States and internationally, with eight of her fourteen plays being produced by the Pittsburgh Playhouse. Ryan talks about the process of playwriting and the influence that having an "artistic Home" has had on her work.
Prize-winning fiction and nonfiction writer BK Loren will speak about Theft, her debut novel. The novel is an exploration into how and why we need family, (however it is defined), and how beauty is dependent upon loss. Loren will speak about why focusing on publishing can kill a story, and the crossovers and differences between creative nonfiction and fiction.
"Tell me a fact and I'll learn. Tell me a truth and I'll believe. Tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever." That anonymous quote captures an insight that makes sense to Cynthia Bishop, a storyteller who grew up in Greece, Italy and Egypt. As a young person, she collected folk tales from around the world, and as a founding member of Salt City Storytellers, Bishop learned to perform traditional as well as personal tales. She will perform some of those tales for us, and will talk about her work as a storyteller and as a narrator of audio books for youth.
Owen Benjamin has been a regular on MTV's Punk'd and E!'s Chelsea Lately. He's had his own special, Comedy Central Presents Owen Benjamin, and his feature credits include I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and Jack and Jill with Adam Sandler. He has done stand up at the Aspen Comedy Festival, Montreal Comedy Festival, and toured with Vince Vaughn and Kevin James. His short films and web series (Owen Benjamin Presents and Gaytown) have accumulated over 10 million hits. He currently stars on the hit TBS sitcom, Sullivan and Sons. Benjamin will talk about the interrelationships between acting, writing, and other aspects of film and television.
In anticipation of the February 26-27 visit by The Acting Company, the river's end bookstore and ARTSwego present an evening celebration of the Bard, his era and his legacy.
Recently retired SUNY Oswego political science professor Bruce Altschuler (author of Shakespeare and Politics) addresses why today's audiences should care about Hamlet.
SUNY Oswego English professor Patrick Murphy presents a conversation about Shakespeare and playwright Tom Stoppard (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead).
In between these discussions, the female vocal ensemble Concinnity entertains with music based on Shakespearean texts.
A writing-life blogger for the Huffington Post, Stephanie Vanderslice's scholarly essays on the teaching of creative writing have been published nationally and internationally. She has published three books, including Rethinking Creative Writing. Her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in many journals and online publications. In 2012 she was named CASE U.S. Professor of the Year for the state of Arkansas; in 2009 she was named ACTELA College English Teacher of the Year. Vanderslice will speak about literary citizenship.
Richard Duggin's fiction includes three novels: The Music Box Treaty, Woman Refusing To Leave, and Snipehunters. Duggin has taught fiction writing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha for the past fifty years. In 2005 he founded and is currently director of the University of Nebraska MFA in Writing program, a low-residency graduate program in creative writing in which he currently directs and teaches. Duggin's talk is called "Psst! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." He'll discuss the authorial voice behind the narrator.
ORI (the Oswego Reading Intiative) presents a talk on the book selected as the reading for this year's first-year and transfer students. Professor Eric Cheyfitz of Cornell University discusses his paper (co-authored with Professor Shari Huhndorf of UC Berkeley) "Genocide By Other Means: US Federal Indian Law and Violence Against Native Women in Louise Erdrich's The Round House."

Nose: Malty with sweet fruit notes.
Palate: Sweet and fruity malt with oak notes coming in mid palate and taking over by the end along with some salt. Oily mouthfeel.
Finish: Dry and oaky, slightly bitter.
Very nice. At cask strength this would have been a monster, a nice monster.

I've always loved lamb's kidneys and this way of cooking them harks back to my early flat-dwelling days a gang of students
Serves 2
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 20 min
1 onion
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp olive oil
Few sprigs thyme
2 courgettes
4 lamb's kidneys
400g large waxy potatoes
½ glass red wine
200g chopped tomatoes
Squirt of tomato ketchup 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley method Finely chop the onions and garlic and soften in olive oil, stirring in the thyme as the onions wilt, cooking for about 10 minutes in total. Trim and slice the courgettes in thick pennies. If the kidneys aren't already halved lengthways, do it now, cut out the core and slice each half into three

Shane Lowry's goal to end the year inside the world's top 50 and earn a Masters invitation has been derailed after the reigning Portugal Masters champion had to be rushed to a local hospital in Dubai.
Lowry, currently ranked 57th in the world, was experiencing severe headaches and vomiting on Monday night and was in so much discomfort, he was hospitalised on Tuesday for some three hours.
"Shane was pretty sick and so much so we had him taken to hospital here in Dubai," said Conor Ridge, his Horizon Sport manager.
"The doctors believe he must have picked up a virus. He was put on a drip for dehydration and the doctors here in Dubai conducted a battery of tests and then after three hours he was released from hospital.
"So we're hoping he will be okay to tee up in the event but then he was struggling yesterday and we'll just have to wait and see how he responds to the medication."
And Lowry is not the only Irishman battling illness. Reigning Hassan 11 Trophy winner, Michael Hoey has only just managed to shake off the effects of a nasty ear infection he picked up while swimming in a hotel pool in Chiangmai, Thailand.
Hoey and his wife travelled to the largest city in northern Thailand when he failed to qualify for the recent WGC–HSBC Champions event in China.
"It's taken two weeks for me to recover but I'm feeling much better," he said.
"The swimming pool at the hotel was just a bit dirty and I also believe I didn't get the right medicine from the doctor as my balance was affected and it meant also having to take last week's Hong Kong Open off.
"I first had trouble in flying down to Singapore what with the cabin pressure and I just started feeling a bit funny and had a lot of trouble sleeping.
"But there are worse things in life than having to pull out of a tournament."
Joining Lowry, Hoey, Rory McIlroy and newly-engaged Graeme McDowell in the field is Pádraig Harrington and with wife Caroline lending approval for him to continue sporting his 'Movember' awareness moustache.
Harrington's been sporting the moustache since contesting last fortnight's Barclays Singapore Open with many of the caddies suggesting he looks like Chopper Reid, the infamous Australian underworld character that became the subject of the feature film, Chopper.
"Caroline is quite happy with it now but what pushed her over the edge is that someone who has prostate cancer pointed out that it's doing good things," said Harrington.
"Somebody suffering from the cancer gave her a few words of encouragement and she said 'you know what, why would you stop doing something like that'.
"Obviously, it was a bit of fun at the time but she's certainly behind the sentiment of it."

Pharmacologic Waterboarding
The Defense Department forced all "war on terror" detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison to take a high dosage of a controversial antimalarial drug, mefloquine, an act that an Army public health physician called "pharmacologic waterboarding". The US military administered the drug despite Pentagon knowledge that mefloquine caused severe neuropsychiatric side effects, including suicidal thoughts, hallucinations and anxiety. The drug was used on the prisoners whether they had malaria or not. [more inside]

But, if you go to that same guy and beat him up thoroughly, then ask him to knock off the attacks, he'll respect you and he'll try to help. . . ." The mother reports that her son was "under the impression that the conduct was in line with military policy."

Tantamount To Torture - Red Cross Finds Detainee Abuse in Guantánamo
Red Cross Finds Detainee Abuse in Guantánamo The International Committee of the Red Cross has charged in confidential reports to the United States government that the American military has intentionally used psychological and sometimes physical coercion "tantamount to torture" on prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The finding that the handling of prisoners detained and interrogated at Guantánamo amounted to torture came after a visit by a Red Cross inspection team that spent most of last June in Guantánamo. The team of humanitarian workers, which included experienced medical personnel, also asserted that some doctors and other medical workers at Guantánamo were participating in planning for interrogations, in what the report called "a flagrant violation of medical ethics." Doctors and medical personnel conveyed information about prisoners' mental health and vulnerabilities to interrogators, the report said, sometimes directly, but usually through a group called the Behavioral Science Consultation Team, or B.S.C.T. The team, known informally as Biscuit, is composed of psychologists and psychological workers who advise the interrogators, the report said.

Mississippi Gulag. Remember Tranquility Bay? Kids being forcibly deported to Jamaica, where they have to earn their right to speak by advancing in a perverted "level" system, with punishment ranging from laying on the floor for hours to painful "restraint" sessions? A report by Assistant Attorney General submitted on June 19, 2003 to Mississippi Governor Ronnie Musgrove sheds light on two different "correctional" facilities, the Oakley and Columbia "Training Schools" in Mississipi. Boys and girls aged from 10 to 17 are hogtied for hours, pepper sprayed for disobedience, forced to eat their own vomit during exercises, or stripped naked and locked in a dark room for days because of suicide attempts. Between torturing sessions, they have to participate in good Christian prayers. These kids have to suffer abuse that would lead to a nationwide scandal if it happened to adults (or if sex was involved). AP has a brief summary.
A "Disappearance" In America - Arrested without charge. Secret warrants and subpoenas. No arrest record. No accusation of a crime. Solitary confinement. No access to a lawyer. No comment from the authorities. No court appearance. In other countries, this would be a "disappearance". Here in America, it's just the Patriot Act at work. Read the story of Mike Hawash, and ponder where this country is headed.

Music to Your Ears
By Laura Marrich
The Kids are All Right--An article in last week's Journal confirmed that the city is purchasing the Ice House building for use as an all-ages, teen-run music center, similar to Warehouse 21 in Santa Fe. The 30,000-square-foot space sits at 506 First Street NW. It's within spitting distance of the Cell Theatre, Wool Warehouse and MLK/Roma bridge, making it an ideal hub for all-ages music events in the Downtown area.

It's no easy task to follow Billy Zoom (original guitarist for the premier Los Angeles punk band X), but that's just what Tony Gilkyson did from 1987 to 1996. His outstanding work was always on the twangier numbers (read: the John Doe material) so it's no surprise that his solo work is deep country, whether a gentle prairie breeze or barreling down a prairie highway.

All One, the latest from Brazilian guitarist/arranger/composer Oscar Castro-Neves, includes a "grooming" credit, and OCN sure looks good. Nor is there a hair out of place in the 14 tracks that take us on a musical tour of OCN's diverse influences—from the predictable Jobim to Chopin and Monk. His bossa-inflected guitar conjures a good-natured vibe and adds a pop sheen over a tight, jazzy ensemble, with stellar performances from violinist Charlie Bisharat and guest vocalist Luciana Souza. Overall, however, the music feels overcareful and lightweight, though the Chopin prelude and Jobim's "Double Rainbow" are exceptionally rendered.

Cylinder Heads
These heads can be divided into 2 basic designs pre-1999 twin port heads (also known as the "B" head) and post-1999 tumble port heads (also known as the "C" head). These 2 heads are interchangeable on any of the 4.6L blocks although it is usually not financially feasible to do this swap because it entails swapping intake manifolds as well. Both heads are very good castings with the tumble port heads getting the nod for making more high end horsepower. The heads on the Lincoln are the same castings as are used on the Cobra.
If you are building
your DOHC engine for use in a truck or heavy car, you will probably
be happier with the twin port heads. These heads with their IMRC plates,
create better torque and at a lower RPM than the tumble port heads without
severely limiting hi-end horsepower. These heads respond well to a port
and polish job. You can also pick up extra horsepower if your engine
is a Lincoln, by swapping the intake manifold for an early Mustang Cobra
|All of the tumble port heads respond well to a port and polish job. Unless you have money to burn, justifying the additional expense of the FR500 heads may be difficult. The standard heads can be made to provide all the flow necessary for even the highest horsepower applications.
Twin port heads have never been offered for the 5.4L engines. You are limited to the Navigator heads unless you come across a set of Cobra R heads (you might have a better shot at hitting the lottery). Being limited to the Navigator heads is not a bad thing as these heads flow a large amount of air. Port and polish these heads and you will see port flow in excess 325 cfm. There is no horsepower to be gained by trying to run Cobra heads, the Navigator heads with their large ports allows the use of much larger intake runners. Below is an outline of the commonly available DOHC heads.

Thinking It Through
The coffee habit
I've been drinking coffee lately.
This wouldn't be a major announcement for most adults, but for years and years and years I didn't drink coffee at all.
Two of my closest friends in college, Melissa and Ed, drank a lot of coffee. Yet despite spending many, many hours in their company, I never picked up the habit. Which is a bit odd, as I am a social drinker by nature and didn't have any qualms about drinking lots of beer in their company.
But for some reason, I feared coffee. I feared I would become addicted to it, and require a cup or two every morning just to make it through the day.
Some people don't drink coffee because they don't like it.
But I'm not one of those people.
I like coffee just fine.
I can drink it black, and I can also drink it with cream and sugar. I like coffee shops, and coffee-flavored things like ice cream. So why I felt the need to resist giving in to the temptation of drinking coffee, I don't fully understand.
Now, it is true that I've never been a big drinker of warm beverages, so perhaps the temptation just wasn't that great.
I seldom drink hot chocolate or tea, with the exception of the three years I lived in Birmingham, Ala., when I drank tea all the time, mainly because my good friend Adam drank tea all the time. Adam is something of a connoisseur of fine teas, and he brews a variety of high-quality, loose leaf teas. We often spent our evenings hanging out in his living room, having long talks over hot cups of tea.
After Adam moved away, I tried to maintain this habit of drinking loose leaf tea. I purchased a special teapot, and ordered loose leaf tea from Upton Tea Imports, a specialty tea company based in Massachusetts. But I quickly found that I drank very little tea without Adam around, despite my fancy new equipment and carefully selected flavors of tea, and concluded that hot beverages were just not my thing.
But perhaps I was wrong, because I've had no trouble developing a coffee-drinking habit.
Given my plethora of weird, obsessive habits, it seems strange, in retrospect, that I drew the line at drinking coffee on a semiregular basis.
Why is drinking coffee any worse than drinking soda every day, or keeping long, categorized lists of movies, or carefully arranging and rearranging my music collection? Coffee will at least help keep me awake and doesn't contain sweeteners or sugar substitutes such as high fructose corn syrup or aspartame.
My newfound coffee-drinking habit is the direct result of cutting back on my soda consumption.
For every article I read about the evils of soda, I read another article about how coffee is actually good for you.
A study published last year in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that consumption of coffee and tea is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, while other studies have linked coffee consumption to lowered risks of colon cancer and heart disease, and may help delay the onset of Alzheimer's. All of which sounds good to me!
Of course, future studies might paint a less rosy picture of the effects of coffee consumption.
And I'll pay attention to those studies, if and when they come out.
But right now I'm excited about the growing body of research suggesting that drinking coffee can be beneficial. These studies have been strangely liberating, enabling me to drink coffee free of the guilt I typically associate with developing "bad" habits. Because it's not really a bad habit! Of course, it's not like I'm drinking 20 cups a day — just a cup or two, here and there.
I've embraced coffee as both a vehicle for caffeine, as well as a social drink.
I have friends who live about an hour from my apartment in Albany, and I often drive home from their house late at night. They are big coffee drinkers, and I've found that I enjoy drinking coffee with them — that it's fun, in the same way drinking tea with Adam was fun. But I've also found that drinking coffee is essential if I'm going to make the long drive home. It's after these long drives where I generally experience the downside of coffee — an inability to sleep, even though you want to. But I feel like the trade-off — having fun with my friends, being able to drive home — has generally been worth it.
Last weekend I went to Proctor's for the Godzilla festival sponsored by It Came From Schenectady. The first film, "King Kong Vs. Godzilla," started at 7 p.m., and was followed by the original Godzilla movie, the uncut, Japanese film "Gojira," from 1954.
It had been a long day, and I was quite certain I needed a cup of coffee to get through the cinematic double-header without falling asleep. But then I noticed that there was beer for sale. And wouldn't I rather have a beer?
For a moment, I hesitated.
But in the end, I decided that yes, I did want a beer.
And I wondered: Who was that person who was considering buying coffee instead of a beer? Was that really me?
I found out the next night, when I returned to Proctors to watch "Django," the 1966 spaghetti western that partially inspired Quentin Tarantino's new movie, "Django Unchained."
"I'm going to get a coffee," I told my friend Bruce.
And I did, and it was good.

As we continue to learn more about what works in terms of helping all of our kids achieve in school and prepare for successful adult lives we are recognizing the need to get kids ready to learn well before they start school. That can be a real challenge for many reasons including families with no track record of success in formal education. Surely, being prepared to learn is a critical factor in closing the achievement gap.
The Center for Families here in Madison has partnered with United Way of Dane County to offer the Parent-Child Home program, an intensive program for 3 to 4 year old children and their families involving regular home visits and donations of creative toys and tools to promote literacy and school preparedness. Madison is one of a small number of such programs nationally, but other communities have shown great retention rates and other indicators of success.
The Madison program's first graduation class is Thursday night. And that's worth celebrating. But even more exciting and important are the graduations to come for which these children are now better prepared.

Not to be confused with MTV's House of Style, Marvel's House of Ideas panel at SDCC 2012 focused squarely on the Publisher's digital initiatives. With Marvel AR stepping up in the wake of their recent Marvel NOW! announcement, and the ReEvolution on for real, San Diego welcomed CCO Joe Quesada to the stage, as well as Agent M himself, Ryan Penagos, Communications Manager Arune Singh, Senior VP of Sales David Gabriel, SVP and GM of Digital Media Peter Phillips, Editor Nick Lowe, and EIC Axel Alonso.
Things kicked off talking about how all their print books are moving towards having free digital codes. Commenting on the movie, Gabriel said, "We wanted to make sure the print books had extra added value, plus it made sure people who buy digital would have an incentive to buy print."
Arune then mentioned that if you subscribe to Marvel Digital Comics at San Diego Comic-Con, it's a 30% discount, and you get a free Doctor Doom with Infinity Gauntlet figure. We should note that you can also buy newer comics individually - the Marvel Digital Comics subscription is more like a virtual back-bin. However, Phillips added that, "It doesn't matter if you're print or digital, we just want you to be a comic reader."
After that, the panel turned to talking about Infinite Comics, with Quesada telling his story about being blown away by early experiments, before eventually - two years down the road - getting set up with original digital comics that play with the form. Looking to the future, Quesada said, "I firmly believe the Infinite format will be how we read our comic books." "It is comics made with the medium in mind," added Lowe.
Next up? The Marvel AR App, which allows readers to interact with the comics issues. Arune plugged that when Wolverine falls out of a plane at the end of Avengers vs. X-Men #3, you can check out a legitimate doctor talking about what would happen to his body. They showed the video from the app, and yup, that was a doctor all right. Side-note: there was posted in the background for Mutinex featuring Doop, and another one that said, "This is your brain on Heat," which makes us think we need to be able to use the AR App on the AR App to go even FURTHER into the Marvel experience. Our two cents.
Wrapping up on the AR App, Renagos mentioned there are pins for Ultimate Spider-Man at the SDCC booth that allow you to access and try out the App.
Quesada moved on, talking about Marvel Social Media, and likened it to Stan Lee's interaction with fans in his classic Soapbox column. Now, though, it's all on Twitter and Facebook, and the creators welcome the input - and questions. "You help direct the course of our stories, whether you know it or not," said Quesada.
Next on the agenda was GetGlue, which allows you to get both virtual and physical stickers for checking in to Marvel books, movies, and TV shows. Also on tap, Penagos plugged their YouTube shows, The Watcher, and Marvel SuperHeroes What The?! That led nicely into a totally new episode of What The featuring Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy, and MODOK - among others. Much fun was had by all.
Then Arune plugged the Facebook game Avengers Alliance, and then mentioned there'd be some big news at the Marvel Games panel, as well as the Avengers vs. X-Men panel. Penagos added that Marvel's stable of writers contributed not just to Avengers Alliance, but also the mysterious Marvel XP. More will be announced soon!
Last bit was the Marvel Advisors program, which will allow fans to sign up for Digital content before it launches - essentially being Beta testers for Marvel's new products. Sign up for that is available at the Marvel booth at Comic-Con.
Responding to an audience question, Phillips said that Marvel isn't planning on adding QR codes to scan in the print comics for the free digital content - instead of a long numeric code - but that they are looking into easier ways of accessing the free digital copies.
Asked whether Marvel would repurpose old stories for Infinite Comics, Lowe said, "We're more interested in telling new stories, and have new things for the fans to enjoy." Quesada added that it's not cost effective at the moment, but they might consider it for classic story lines down the road.
Breaking some news, Lowe said the next Marvel Infinite Comic will tie into Avengers vs. X-Men #10, and be written by Mark Waid, with Reilly Brown is the pencil and ink artist. Iron Man, The Scarlet Witch, and Beast will be the focus of the story.
When there was a lull in the questions, Singh quipped, "Are we going to end early? This isn't a DC panel," to much laughter from the audience. A few other questions did come up after that, but nothing too exciting. And that was it! Like Marvel, we'll see you online. Or maybe, since it's San Diego Comic-Con, we'll see you on line.

Scout Willis arrested last night in New York City last night!
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Scout (front) was arrested last night in New York City.
The 20-year-old was arrested for underage drinking in Union Square around 7:00PM, according to sources. Scout was driking an 8 oz. Pakistani beer.
When approached by police, she produced a fake ID with the name Katherine Kelly, according to the New York Post.
After further questioning by an officer, she confessed that her real name was Scout Willis, reportedly saying: 'The first ID isn't mine. My friend gave it to me.'
Scout was booked two misdemeanors, including criminal impersonation.
The brunette was released without bail early this morning and ordered to return to Manhattan Criminal Court on July 31.
She is studying at Brown University and is also an aspiring singer.

The state is considering Gov. Dannel Malloy's proposal to allow nurses to delegate the administration of medication to home care workers. Currently, workers caring for someone in the home can't administer medication if the patient is somehow unable to do it himself or herself. Instead, the responsibility has to be taken by a family caregiver or a licensed nurse, which can be expensive. An informational hearing on the proposal is taking place today in Hartford. Here's AARP's press release on the proposal:
Policy experts today presented at an informational hearing before the state's Aging Committee in support of Governor Malloy's proposal to allow licensed nurses to delegate medication administration duties to home care workers. The proposal to allow nurse delegation of medication administration — which has been successfully implemented in a number of states, including Washington and Oregon — would save Connecticut millions of dollars in Medicaid spending each year and allow more individuals to receive care at home, instead of in an institution.
According to Susan Reinhard, AARP's Vice President of Public Policy, who spoke at today's forum, "Nurse delegation is an important tool to help ease the burden on family caregivers, who must otherwise be available during the day to administer medication to their loved ones, or hire a licensed nurse to do it, which can be very costly. Allowing nurses to delegate this task to a professional home care worker – who may already be providing services in the home – saves money, provides a needed break for family members, and supports an individual's choice to remain in their home as they age."
According to the Governor's office, the state spent more than $113 million on medication administration for approximately 8,650 Medicaid clients in 2011 – or roughly $56 per visit. Anne Foley, Under Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, testified that the cost of medication administration is one of the primary cost drivers and one of the primary barriers to moving individuals from institutional settings into the community because of cost caps under the federal Money Follows the Person program. The Governor's proposal is estimated to save about $28 million a year when fully annualized.
Connecticut is one of 44 states currently participating in Money Follows the Person. Over a recent six-month period, the state represented a third of the cases nationwide where the anticipated cost of caring for the individual at home prevented them from moving from an institutional setting back into the community.
Susan McDermott, R.N. directed a pilot study of nurse delegation in the state of New Jersey that found the practice to be effective at assisting clients to stay in their homes and communities and improving quality of care. "We've known for some time in the health care industry that our nation is experiencing a shortage of skilled nurses," McDermott said. "With people living longer and the aging population expected to nearly double over the next two decades, we must find ways to be economically efficient, as well as ensure that care is delivered safely and effectively. One way to achieve this is to allow nurses to delegate and train home health aides to administer medication to clients in their homes."

Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino Could Be Dating
Sharing a villa at Cannes.
After standing hip-on-hip at Cannes and sharing a villa while they celebrated the 20th anniversary of Pulp Fiction, rumors are now a-flying that Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman are together "at last!" At last? Was this a lingering unrequited love story — simmering in the background of filmed slice-and-dice swordplay and precise cigarette flicks?
Oh, yes, it most certainly was, say the two sources who confirmed the relationship to Us magazine. They are both sure to emphasize long-held torches and patient adoration. "He's loved her for years," one said. The other reports, "There has always been an attraction. She has indulged from time to time, and that's how their relationship has always worked."
Did you predict this all along? Well, I'll give that to you, but sometimes you just don't see things coming.

What is the significance of A Raisin in the Sun's ending?
2 Answers | Add Yours
The ending to the play shows how the Younger family will strive for their dream regardless of the many factors that dispel them from doing so. The Karl Lindners of the world, the neighbors who doubt them, as well as the social conditions that challenge families like the Youngers as well as the personal demons that have gripped Walter and other members of the family were overcome in the final scene. At this particular moment, the ability to be able to establish a better life for one's family is valued above all. This makes the overall ending of the play a positive one, but one that is filled with challenge. It is almost as if Hansberry is indicating that while there is hope for the future, there will always be struggle and challenge inherent within it.
At the end of the play, after Walter has stood up as a "man," the family packs up the apartment and moves. In the very last scene, Mama takes a look around the apartment, grabs her symbolic plant and exits. Her last actions demonstrate that she is saying farewell to a place where she helped her children (and her plant) grow so that all of them can move on to a place with more "sunshine" and room for them to grow more.

Battlestar Galactica Collectible Card Game
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
The Battlestar Galactica Collectible Card Game is a collectible trading card game based on the Re-imagined series of Battlestar Galactica. The game was published by WizKids and was first released in May 2006. It has since been canceled after the release of the Battlestar Galactica: Betrayal expansion.
Game summary
Two or more players vie for influence in an attempt to win control of the Colonial Fleet. A player loses the game when his or her influence is reduced to zero, and wins the game either when he or she achieves 20 influence or all opponents have lost. Because it is possible for these conditions to be achieved simultaneously, ties may occur. There is no limit on the number of players in a game.
Players primarily lose influence by failing to provide a defender when another player initiates a challenge, or by failing to respond to a Cylon threat.
Sequence of play
Each turn consists of three phases, with all players working through each phase before moving onto the next. The phases are defined by the rules as follows:
Card types
Deck composition
Like many other CCGs each player's deck must contain a minimum 60 cards, with no more than four of any one type of card. Cards with the same title but different data on them count as different cards. Each player must also have a single "base" card, which does not count towards the 60 card minimum.
Commerical Releases
Sets and Packs
Cards are available both in a two-player starter set and in booster packs. The two-player starter set can be split to form two 31-card decks for two players, or can be used to make a single 61-card deck (removing the spare base card). It includes a quick-start ruleset, a complete rulebook, and 62 fixed cards: 10 cards exclusive to the starter deck (5 are foil cards), and 52 others.
Booster packs contain 15 randomly selected cards: 11 commons, 3 uncommons, and 1 rare, and one-in-four packs has a foil rare card taking the place of one of the commons.
Booster boxes include 1 foil rare card meant for stores to give out as a promo or prize support for events.
The premiere set of Battlestar Galactica: CCG was released on May 31, 2006 and contains 175 cards from the miniseries, season 1, and season 2:
Battlestar Galactica: Betrayal is the first expansion set and was released on November 8, 2006. It contains 165 cards with an unknown rarity split. Betrayal is available in 15-card booster packs with an MSRP of $3.49. Throughout the distribution, there are 500 hand-autographed rare "Crewman Cally" cards signed by actress Nicki Clyne.

For the fifth straight time, Florida completely dominated Kentucky, earning a 38-0 shutout on a sweltering day at the Swamp.
Led by quarterback Jeff Driskel, the Gators moved the ball efficiently on offense for most of the game, totaling 404 yards on the afternoon.
Thanks to a trifecta of interceptions, UF held the Wildcats to a pathetic 60 yards passing on offense.

Sweet simplicity
One of the things I miss the most about Italy is la pasticceria, the store that sells sweets and where, as you step in, you start floating one foot above the ground embraced by a delicious fragrance of baked goods. The sfogliatina alla crema that you see above was one of the first sweets I had after arriving in Italy following a long year in the States. I remember I was almost crying for the emotion.
The sfogliatina alla crema is one of the simplest Italian desserts: just cream and puff pastry. And yet it is delicious. Fortunately there is an easy way to duplicate it: get one sheet of puff pastry (easily available in the grocery stores), unroll it, place it on a baking sheet, preferably using parchment paper, put it in the preheated oven (350°F) for about 10 minutes or until it has risen and it has a nice, golden color. At that point take it out, immediately cut it in half horizontally, lift the top, spread the custard cream on the bottom, put the top back on, sprinkle it with some powdered sugar, and you get a simplified version of the Italian sfogliatina alla crema.
La torta gelato
If you take some gelato and shape it up into a cake you get the torta gelato. Add some colorful decorations as well and it becomes a nice present to bring to a dinner with friends. Check it out the next time you go to Italy, since some of them are really beautiful.
One day I told my son Alessio that a very fond memory I have from my childhood is that of a family friend who used to make a snack for her kids by spreading creamy butter on some fresh bread and sprinkling it with a pinch of sugar. He soon wanted to try it and loved it ever since. Easy to make and rich in taste, pane, burro e zucchero is a yummy alternative to the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Provare per credere (try it to believe it).

A Bunney creation may look simple at first glance, but a closer examination will reveal details and ideas that are contemplative and intriguing, often in a playful and tender manner.
The London-based jewellery brand started in 2009 and has become known for its line of beguilingly beautiful products. Objects that look like what one may be used to are recast in a new light with precious materials, becoming starkly new yet, at the same time, with the warmth of the familiar.
Taking on the spirit of the city where it resides, Bunney embodies the insouciant attitude towards dressing so characteristic of Londoners. Bunney pieces encourage the wearer to consider and compose a variety of combinations on clothing and whatever take the wearer's fancy.
Made in workshops around England, including the historic Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham, each piece is hand-finished with care and attention before being hallmarked at the Goldsmiths' Company, responsible since 1300 for testing the quality of gold and silver.
