Herald Rating: 4/5
Address: 8 Drake St, Freemans Bay
We came here because it's an easy city-fringe meeting point. There are usually plenty of parks and the coffee is consistently good.
Parking was a matter of nabbing one of the six designated spots directly out the front. We arrived at 9.30am and I got the last one. Ginnie just missed out but parked in a $1 per hour pay-and-display on Drake St.
We walked in and thought Allpress was full of well-dressed women and men in sharp suits. This is clearly a favoured local for the many businesses in the area, and the open plan space means it's conducive to people-watching.
The most unusual things on the menu are the Italian-style sandwiches - the tramezzini with provolone, cheddar and chives ($6.70) or the schiacciata with pumpkin, walnut and pecorino ($10.50). It's not a mind-blowing menu for cooked brunches but one of simple classics, such as muesli, toast (with a selection of toppings) and egg and soldiers.
We ordered the schiacciata, which, for what is essentially a fancy grilled cheese sandwich, was full of flavour and surprisingly light; and the bap with prosciutto, egg and coriander ($8.50), which came with an amazing spicy aioli. For afternoon tea we took home a dainty chocolate biscuit ($4) and a generous slice of old-fashioned ginger loaf ($3.50).
The service was personable, professional and polite.
The coffee was as good as you'd expect coming from the same building as the Allpress roastery.
We recommend if you come here, choose a corner table to spy on the power brunchers or sit outside under the awning with your dog.
Overall we thought Allpress delivers simple, stylish food and flawless coffee.

Hello everybody
I'm 32 and a stay at home mom of two little boys that are 3 years old and 18 months old. I love to garden and am getting a little tired of hand pollinating my zucchini every year. I also plan to expand the garden to cover about half an acre this year. So, my primary reason for bees is to pollinate and any honey would be a bonus.
I have never kept bees, I've never known anybody that kept bees, but for some reason I still think that this is something I would like to do. I've been reading for a few months now and I'm really starting to lean toward TBH. I think a TBH will most closely fit my needs and budget. My husband is an engineer and is pretty handy with carpentry so I've enlisted him to help with construction, but he has no interest in bees or beekeeping.

Here is a link to a story telling how some stores are removing pressure cookers from their shelves. I wonder when the government will enact a total ban on these dangerous terrorist weapons?
When I was a kid, my mom often used a pressure cooker for preparing meals and canning produce. It never occurred to me that she might have been a terrorist at heart! But, she never did use hers that way. May she Rest in Peace.

I got some hives with bottom where the entrance is smaller than 3/8" by a bit and only half width of the box. I thought it was a good idea til it gets hot then the hives bearded heavily even with 3/4" hole in the boxes for other entrances. Just can't move enough air through that little bottom even with afternoon shade.

^Hey, believe it or not, he HAS rushed the story before. In fact, he did it right in the previous storyline since he was anxious to get to the New World as us readers were (I even recall him mentioning in interviews taking place before the timeskip that he wanted to get to the NW already).
But that being said, I don't see much of a reason for him to rush the story now. The current pacing is as fine as it is (and frankly, super-fast pacing is not always a good thing.... I even ranted about that a bit in the Toriko thread recently). As long as I still enjoy it, I don't really care if it takes him another 10 or 20 years to finish the story, honestly.
If it's surnames we're talking about, then you should be asking that question about roughly half the crew (last I recall, Usopp, Sanji, or Brooke don't have a last name, either)!

I hope we get at least one more time skip before the end.
In my opinion It would be more realistic for the Muigawaras to have at least one more time skip before they go after Yonkous/what ever final boss there will be.
Even Roger was around for like at least 20+ years since Brook knew about them before he had died.

i really don't mind how long it would take for oda to finish one piece as long as he keeps giving us good quality material and people are still entertained by it. i admit that it does get dull once in a while and op loses its number one position in the shonen jump weekly rankings, when this happens oda usually tries to take back its former spot by coming up with a good chapter the following week. he quickens the pace a bit and starts revealing some key aspects to the story arc. that's what i have observed anyway, of course i have no proof of this whatsoever. but my point is, oda may seem like the type who doesn't like to rush things but he is also a professional writer/artist in a very competitive industry, so sometimes he might need to quicken his pace a bit and come up with something awesome if he wants to keep his spot. maintaining the number one spot in the manga rankings is hard work, after all.

Oda's frequent breaks also aren't helping matters any. I remember the times when we wouldn't have to be reminded that there's a chapter next week; those days are gone. Hopefully, these breaks aren't indicative of Oda getting lazy/losing interest.

They're.... not. Notice how his most frequent breaks happen around the time he's busy with other projects outside of the manga (like how a couple years ago he was busy promoting Strong World and the timeskip). Right now he's got his hands full promoting stuff for the series' 15th anniversary like the upcoming Film Z and that live stage show (which he even created a new character for). So I think it's fair to say that there's a valid excuse for his breaks....
And like I pointed out in my last post, he was just as eager as the rest of us to get to the NW already around the time he was still working on Strong World (I really wish I could find the source of that interview, BTW....). I even remember him mentioning that he had all kinds of ideas of locations for the Straw-Hats to visit, so I don't see him losing any interest in the series anytime soon.

The story has to be developed somehow.I also don't care how long it takes for Oda to finish the series as long as it makes sense,unlike Bleach.

Having the number 1 spot in weekly rankings done mean anything for series like OP , Naruto , Bleach and few more .
Just look at HxH , Togashi takes break for months comes back and sell near a million a Vol that is what matters .
Oda doing other stuff is fine if he wants to , there is no set time for OP to done .

His breaks this year is no different than the amount he took when he was working on the last film.
2010 was the highest amount, 8 breaks (out of 48 Jump issues).
2012 is looking to be about the same at this rate.
He takes a lot more than Kishimoto and Kubo, but Oda is actively involved in WAY more crap than they are. Including scripting movies and working with One Piece fairs.
Naruto an Bleach don't get their own amusement fairs filled with 12 feet tall giant robotic character representations you know.
Start worrying when 24 out of 48 weeks are on break.

The race to get closest to Black Caviar will provide an intriguing sidebar to the group one Lightning Stakes at Flemington today.
The champion mare has already won the Flemington sprint twice and getting the job done a third time appears a mere formality.
Seven horses will chase her down the famous straight, with none of the rival trainers or jockeys foolish enough to contemplate pushing her at the finish.
Even Black Caviar's trainer Peter Moody admits the two stablemates he is sending around against her aren't there to win first prize.
Moody will start Moment Of Change to give him some experience of Flemington ahead of his main target, the Newmarket Handicap, a race not on the champion mare's radar.
He will also run Golden Archer, a smart sprinter in his own right, who needs an autumn starting point.
"I'm not kidding myself and expecting either of them to trouble their stablemate, but I'm expecting them both to run well," Moody said.
Promising 3-year-old Shamexpress is also using the Lightning as a pipeopener to the Newmarket. He will be ridden by Glen Boss, who might normally be expected to talk up the chances of an up-and-comer in a big race.
Instead, Boss is hoping to feature in the trifecta.
"He's one of the leading chances to fill the top three placings," Boss said.
Of the remaining runners, former Adelaide gelding Go The Knuckle could do no better than seventh to the great mare in the group one Goodwood at Morphettville in May, beaten by 11 lengths. Now with new trainer Robert Smerdon, he may be able to finish a little closer.
First Command and Satin Shoes are both proven stakes performers and have place claims.
For connections of Spirit Cent, the thrill of having a horse run against Black Caviar will be one to savour.
Their gelding was beaten at Bairnsdale at his most recent start in October and is a $301 chance.
Punters have pinpointed Moment Of Change ($15) and Shamexpress ($17) as the best of the chasers, while at $1.05 Black Caviar will start shorter than she has in winning the past two Lightning Stakes.
This year's race has been renamed the Black Caviar Lightning in her honour and it might just prove her most memorable. Victory in the Lightning will add A$300,000 to Black Caviar's account, taking her prizemoney total to A$7,302,436.
It would also place her firmly at top of the world rankings - at least until the European flat racing season gets into full swing next month.
"She is bigger, stronger and, most importantly, happier than she's been in ages," Moody said.
"She's enjoying herself and that's what I wanted to see."

Compromise found on Highway 371-Clark Lake Road median crossover closure
The Nisswa City Council believes it reached a compromise regarding the proposed closure of the median crossover at Highway 371 and Clark Lake Road.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation will close the median crossover as part of road improvements. Clark Lake Road residents and emergency response personnel voiced concerns over the proposed closure, saying it would take longer for emergency vehicles traveling south from Nisswa to reach those residences.
The council learned Wednesday, Nov. 21, that MnDOT still wants to close the crossover but is willing to leave a gravel access for emergency vehicles to use. The city would maintain the gravel access.
"I think this is a good compromise," said council member Lenny Hodgson.
Mayor Brian Lehman agreed, saying that would take care of the public safety concern.
The city planned to contact concerned residents about the compromise.
Nisswa Lake Park
The council on Wednesday, Nov. 21, approved a Nisswa Lake Park schematic design to show to the DNR.
The first phase of the park project included a broad, general schematic design done by Short Elliot Hendrickson (SEH) engineering firm in Brainerd.
Matt Reid of SEH said the concept plan includes a broad, bird's-eye view look at topography, trees and the lake bottom. The plan identifies challenges and opportunities at the park site on Hazelwood Drive on Nisswa Lake.
The design includes possible placement of trails, restroom facility, picnic areas, beach, pier, gazebos, trails and connections to downtown, Hazelwood Drive and a regional bike trail.
The Friends of Nisswa Lake Park continues to raise funds to build the park. A completed park isn't expected for a couple more years.
Public safety
Police officer Luke Hamilton received a lifesaving award from North Memorial Ambulance Service for an incident that occurred June 10. Hamilton's actions helped save a patient who was in cardiac arrest.
Police had 164 calls for service in October. Calls included 50 traffic warnings, 19 traffic citations, 23 agency assists, 12 alarms, five arrests and two criminal citations.
In other business Nov. 21, the council:
• Held a public hearing and then agreed to issue general obligation bonds and adopt a capital improvement plan to restructure the bond to finance city hall at a better interest rate. The restructuring of the 2004 bonds will save the city more than $200,000. No one spoke at the public hearing.
• Approved a request for the Run Around Round by Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert on Aug. 24.
• Learned Nisswa Park and Recreation received $1,500 from the Nisswa Women of Today fashion show proceeds.
• Learned Shawn Hansen was hired as the chamber's executive director after being interim director. Hansen told the council about two events that will be added in 2013 in Nisswa: Majestic Pines Arts Fair in June and a yearlong geocaching tour along the Paul Bunyan Trail with Nisswa and Bemidji as the anchor cities.
• Certified delinquent sewer accounts to the county to add the payments to property tax statements.
• Approved a Brainerd Jaycees raffle request at Grand View Lodge for Jan. 18.
• Agreed to close city hall on Monday, Dec. 24, Christmas Eve Day.
Council member Jan Pierce was absent.

Hispanic journalists group provides scholarships
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 28, 2009)--For nearly a decade, the San Antonio Association of Hispanic Journalists has awarded scholarships to Bexar County residents majoring in journalism or communication. Approximately $100,000 in scholarships has been distributed by the organization to promising students who want to further their education. The deadline to apply for scholarships is June 27.

Established in 1986, SAAHJ is comprised of local journalists, public relations professionals and students interested in communications or the public relations industry.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for young, aspiring journalists to get a meaningful scholarship. Through the years, we've identified a strong group of students who have gone on to do great things in journalism and we hope to continue that tradition this year," said Dino Chiecchi, president of the San Antonio Association of Hispanic Journalists.
Scholarship recipients will be recognized at the 11th Annual SAAHJ Scholarship and Awards Gala Thursday, July 23 at the Westin Riverwalk hotel.
In addition to the scholarships, SAAHJ also will recognize Maria Elena Torralva with the Henry Guerra Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Journalism. The Community Service Award will be awarded to San Antonio high school students who led a walkout in 1968 that spurred a school finance equity fight that reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

My resolution for the new year should be to watch less TV, because let's face it -- I watch a lot of TV. But since I love it and it's kind of my job, I'd rather just complain about the few characters I don't like on some of my can't-miss shows; specifically, the characters who drive me bananas.
There are five in particular whom I can't stand, five who make my job actual work, five who have me running to do the dishes or fold laundry or scrub toilets or ... well, you catch my drift.
Were there any characters this year that drove you crazy? Sound off in the comments!
To be honest, I could've written about half the cast (scrunchy-faced Charlie and oatmeal-y Bass immediately spring to mind), but Danny is perhaps the most "meh" character around. Yes, he's family and the main reason Charlie and Miles (the one truly likable character on "Revolution") teamed up, but now that they've found him, he's expendable as far as I'm concerned. Yes, it'll only make Charlie cry and scowl more but it will also soften Miles more -- always a good thing.
When I heard that Blair was upped to series regular after guest-starring in the pilot, I thought he would add another dimension to the comedy. Boy, was I wrong. I get that he's not meant to belong -- though the same could be said for NeNe Leakes' Rocky and she makes it work (because she's awesome). But every time Clay's in a scene, it makes me want to change the channel. Thankfully, he's not on often. Perhaps he'll get bumped back down to recurring, or better yet, off the show completely.
How has no one killed Serrat yet?! The mayor of the unknown village where the crew of the USS Colorado is seeking refuge has been nothing but a thorn in their side. He and the crew don't see eye-to-eye, nor does he seem well-liked by the long-time residents, either. Hopefully once the Captain finds out what he and his henchmen did to the COB (though that doesn't seem likely since Prosser's keeping the heinous act under wraps), that's reason enough to off their island enemy. Plus, there are enough bad guys to deal with; this little weasel shouldn't be one of them.
When I hear the name "Prince Charming," I envision tall, dark, chiseled and handsome, flowing, longish locks, brawny, commanding and brave -- not exactly words I would use to describe Dallas' portrayal of fairy tales' main man. I don't mean to knock Dallas completely, however. It might have more to do with the gals of "Once Upon a Time," who all tend to be powerful, headstrong, independent women who don't need a knight in shining armor. So the Prince Charming we've come to know over decades and decades isn't what we're seeing on the ABC hit -- and, unfortunately, makes Dallas' Charming pretty dispensible.
Are we supposed to believe that Laurel, a.k.a. Debbie Downer, and Oliver are destined to be together? Because, no. Just ... NO. Oli and Helena were hot, and the vigilante shares more chemistry with his sister, Thea, so I'm not sure if that's just gross or more proof that Laurel belongs with Tommy. To be honest, however, I don't like Laurel with anyone. I'm not sure if it's because the writers are giving Cassidy -- who should not get second billing; every time I see it, it drives me nuts -- little to work with, or the actress herself, but if Laurel packed her bags and left Starling City forever, or (my preference) was killed by a stray arrow, I wouldn't exactly be mourning.

Starz Ke Sitare Saif Ali Khan part 3
The Chote Nawab, Saif Ali Khan is the reigning prince of hearts of one and all. After a complete turnaround post Dil Chahta Hai there was no looking back as he juggled his revived career and lady love Kareena. The Little Prince was born to the Nawab of Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore, a Bengali actress in Bollywood. The Nawab was married for a good thirteen years to a much older Bollywood actress Amrita Singh and they had a daughter Sara and a son Ibrahim. Later he was speckled dating Rosa Catalano but that didnt last for long and the rumors about his new love interest came to an end when he walked the ramp with actress Kareena Kapoor at the Manish Malhotra fashion show during the Lakme India Fashion Week, officially confirming that the two were dating and it could definitely lead to more. He tattooed his lady loves name on his left hand that shows that he is a loyal and an ardent lover. The Princes film career kicked with the 1992 Yash Chopra directed Parampara followed by many more but it didnt really boost his reputation as a solid actor. He changed tracks in 2001 as he appeared in the comedy Love Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega and then as Samir, who wears his heart on his sleeve, in Farhan Akhtars Dil Chahta Hai that changed the way people perceived him. It won him the Filmfare Best Comedian Award. Each of his releases in the later year helped him prove his versatility as an actor. These successes put him among the most successful actors in the industry. Since 2009, Khan has ...

Nissan to Start Leaf Production in U.S. This Week

Nissan Leaf
(Source: nissanusa.com)
It will produce the Leaf in Tennessee starting Thursday
didn't manage to meet its goals
for 2012, but the auto company is looking forward to a better 2013 by starting Leaf production in the United States.
Nissan announced that it will begin Leaf production at a new plant in Smyrna, Tennessee this Thursday. It will build the Leaf and gasoline vehicles in this plant, while building batteries at a separate plant next door.
The plant is the result of a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) loan for $1.4 billion in 2010. According to the DOE, Nissan can build up to 150,000 Leafs and 200,000 batteries annually at the Tennessee plants.
Nissan added that the new plants have created over 300 manufacturing jobs. In 2010, the DOE expected that both projects would create about 1,300 jobs. Nissan said the number of jobs is expected to increase over time.
Nissan's Leaf had a tough time last year as far as sales and performance goes. In July 2012,
Leaf owners in Arizona complained that their EVs were losing significant battery capacity in the
desert's hot heat
Nissan responded by basically saying that
this was normal
, and
promised more open communication with owners of the Leaf EV
Later, Nissan had to admit that it
wasn't going to hit its sales mark for 2012
, which was 20,000 Leafs. However, it only sold 9,819 Leafs for the whole year -- less than half of its goal, and only 1.5 percent higher than the number it sold in 2011.
Nissan had even more ambitious goals back in 2010 when it announced that it would sell 500,000 EVs per year by the end of 2013. However, in October 2012, Nissan saw the reality of its sales and adjusted that number to 1.5 million EVs sold cumulatively by 2016.

Skatt Brothers - Walk the Night
Well hello there. Busy lil bee-ston lately here in the land of the Sheena. But in we pop to let you know that the main man, Todd Terje, threw down a wicked outdoor set at the Gowanus Grove (c'mon, it's really still The Yard, right?) for the Mister Sunday party. He played a crazy, and expectedly, rad set which included the below song that I have not been able to get out of my head for, oh... going on 12+ hours now.
Not a bad problem to have.
