They were living in San Francisco, but they wanted to move out of the city to a playborhood — a version of American kid life featured in shows like "The Little Rascals" and "Leave It to Beaver," in which kids build forts and ride bikes outside, unsupervised — free, skirting danger, but ultimately always lucky. [...] Dangerous play is how kids learn how to titrate fear. [...] "If the instinct wasn't of evolutionary benefit, the behavior would have been rooted out."

This piece is ostensibly about parenting, and one Silicon Valley-dad who is trying to teach (and trust) his kids to take physical risks. But in defiance of the "helicopter parent" method, Mark Laska, the piece's subject dad, elects to modify his own environment rather than coaching his individual kids. He changes his home, yard and (he hopes) his city to create environments that all kids can learn test their own limits in—without parents presence, but with their parents' trust.

Midcentury modernist architects Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler may have been good friends when they studied together in Vienna, but by the time they ran into one another one last time in a Los Angeles hospital in 1953, they were bitter enemies. Ensemble Studio Theatre/L.A.'s production of The Princes of Kings Road, now playing at the Neutra Institute in Silver Lake, imagines what it might have been like in the hospital room they shared

Architectural design can be as playful as a child's imagination and still be taken seriously. Coated in a sunny yellow and candy-colored circular openings, "The Hole Idea -- Now in Technicolor" in Winnipeg is a snow tunnel that may seem like a kids-only zone at first glance, but is an engaging installation that can spark the curiosity of anyone who is trudging by in the snow. Since it was first installed in January after winning the popular Warming Huts 2015 competition, The Hole Idea has attracted visitors of all ages. The project's success continues with its recent win of an Ontario Association Of Architects Award.

Designed by Toronto-based Weiss Architecture + Urbanism, the playful concept for The Hole Idea -- which was named after a 1955 Looney Tune animation of the same name -- evokes childhood memories of Saturday morning cartoons, colorful playgrounds, and building snow forts.

A new parking garage in Nordhavn, Denmark by JAJA Architects will combine form, functionality, and fun. Draped in greenery and topped with a public playground, the aptly named Park and Play reimagines a garage as an active social space rather than simply a storage place for cars. [...] The garage is being built as part of the first phase of Nordhavn's almost 500-acre master plan to be developed over the next 40 to 50 years.

Oren Safdie, architecture-turned-playwright (and son of Moshe Safdie), has taken his play False Solution to Santa Monica, after a run in NYC last year. False Solution, Safdie's 3rd architecture-themed play, following Private Jokes, Public Places and The Bilbao Effect, follows German-Jewish architect Anton Seligman (played by Daniel J. Travanti) as he designs a new Holocaust museum in Poland. Linda Johansson (played by Amanda Saunders), a first-year architecture student, brings sexual tension as she challenges his work.

I met up with Oren at his home in Venice Beach to talk about his work as a playwright. You can listen to our conversation below...

I also had a chance to record a read-through between leads Daniel J. Travanti, whom you may recognize as the captain from Hill Street Blues, and Amanda Saunders.

Tickets to False Solution can still be purchased for the final four performances this Thursday to Sunday.

For a kid, a lifesize light-up spinning top that you can play in right in your neighborhood sounds like a dream come true -- and such is the case in Dordrecht, The Netherlands.

The Energy Carousel by Madrid-based firm Ecosistema Urbano is a play structure that is both engaging and educational. As kids grab onto one of the structure's hanging ropes, the kinetic energy released by their movements is stored in a battery, which later serves as supply to light up the structure at night. The carousel's LED lights shine in various colors depending on how much energy was stored during that day.

The Energy Carousel was one of the winning designs in a 2010 invited competition by Carve, an Amsterdam design group that specializes in developing and engineering public spaces for children. Carve asked 10 European firms to design a multi-age sustainable "unconventional play object" to complete the Governeursplein public square in Dordrecht.

Since then, it seems the Energy Carousel has provided whirls ...

The Eternal Space will visually recreate the marvel of the former Pennsylvania Station using the actual photographs that documented the station's demise. [...] Using the latest in projection technology these arresting photographs will speak to the tragic demolition of an American architectural masterpiece [...] On the 50th anniversary of that great loss, The Eternal Space will pay tribute to the station and the gifted photographers who worked to immortalize it.

 Architects, historians, and all urban enthusiasts are invited to a free evening event that will acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the demolition of NYC's Pennsylvania Station on Nov. 6 at the AIA | NY Center for Architecture. Hosted by AIA | NY, the program will begin with a live reading of selected scenes from The Eternal Space, a two-man stage play set during the Penn Station's demolition, which began on Oct. 28, 1963.

 The play presents a dialogue on the value of old vs. new, past vs. present, and all the timeless arguments that come with them that last to this day. The Eternal Space also points out the ongoing yet overlooked debate on the preservation of historic structures in New York and throughout the U.S. Never-published photography of the demolition from some of the subject's most notable photographers will provide the scenic backdrop for the staged reading.

 The reading will be followed by a panel discussion — moderated by Curbed NY Senior Editor Hana Alberts ...

At university, students from other courses felt that we in architecture weren't really studying at all; to them the studio seemed like some kind of uber-kindergarten, legitimated for academic credit.... The architecture profession seemed from the outside, and perhaps even to us on the inside, to promise an idyllic eternal childhood of balsa and glue and gee-whiz drawings on computers.

 On Places, Naomi Stead discusses the popular conception of architecture as a kind of "child's play."

 What do dollhouses and architectural models have in common? Why should we care about Lego Architecture and Architect Barbie and the romantic depiction of architects in Hollywood movies?

 She concludes: "If the profession of architecture is constructed from the outside as an escapist daydream, available for the idle fantasizing and wish-fulfillment of all, then this leaves the whole profession operating inside a doll's house: idyllic, hermetic and controlled, but largely powerless to act in the actual world."

 Oren Safdie, son of Moshe Safdie, and writer of plays themed around architecture, will be opening his third play, titled "False Solution", on June 13th. The play deals with an established architect struggling to design a new Holocaust museum in Poland, focusing on the architect's creative process.

 FALSE SOLUTION -- a world-premiere play about an architect's struggles to design a Holocaust museum in Poland - written by Oren Safdie (author of the Off-Broadway hit PRIVATE JOKES, PUBLIC PLACES, and THE BILBAO EFFECT) - will be presented Off-Broadway with previews starting June 13 prior to an official press opening night on June 16, 2013 at La MaMa ETC (74A East 4th Street) in Manhattan.

 PRIVATE JOKES, PUBLIC PLACES, which also premiered at La MaMa in 2003 before transferring to the Center for Architecture, starred Anthony Rapp. Mr. Safdie's Off-Broadway play THE LAST WORD, also enjoyed critical and popular success in 2007, and starred Emmy Award-winning actor, Daniel J.

Baker is an architect who has just purchased one of [Richard] Meier's raw space apartments with his wife and is supposed to be using his design skills to turn it into a home. But he is suffering through an artistic slump, a malaise his wife hopes to remedy by forcing him into a competition with a younger, up-and-coming architect, whose wife was once her best friend. Through constantly shifting perspectives, the private design competition provides a funny, insightful look at love and ambition...

 A Raw Space is a play by Jon Marans, currently running at the Bristol Riverside theater in Philadelphia. The play is set inside of one of Richard Meier's Perry Street luxury apartments, while the tenants, two high powered architecture couples, tangle during a design competition.

 Playwright Oren Safdie, son of architect Moshe Safdie, will be debuting his latest play "The Bilbao Effect" at the Center for Architecture on May 16th.

In Mr. Safdie's play THE BILBAO EFFECT -- the second play of a planned trilogy focusing on contemporary architecture -- Erhardt Shlaminger is a world famous architect who faces censure by the American Institute of Architects, following accusations that his urban redevelopment project for Staten Island has led to a woman's suicide. The play tackles controversial urban design issues that New Yorkers have recently encountered in Brooklyn as a result of the hotly-debated plans to redevelop the Atlantic Yards into an architecture-star mega-development. THE BILBAO EFFECT explores whether architecture has become more of an art than a profession, and at what point the ethics of one field violate the principles of the other.

How Cracking Down On Drugs Can Foster More CrimeGene Koretz
Does escalating the war against drugs result in a decrease in theft, burglary, and other property crimes? Not if it involves shifting resources away from deterring property crimes directly, claim economists Bruce L. Benson and David W. Rasmussen of Florida State University. In a study published in the latest issue of Contemporary Policy Issues, they conclude that the resource reallocation that accompanied stronger drug law enforcement efforts in Florida during the 1980s actually led to more property crimes -- despite the presumed causal connection between drug addiction and criminal activity.
The two economists note that Florida's police devoted a growing share of their resources to drug law enforcement during the 1980s. Drug arrests rose 90% between 1982 and 1987, while total arrests increased only 32%. But instead of subsiding in the wake of the stepped-up war against drugs, property crimes also escalated. Between 1983 and 1987, for example, robbery rates climbed 34% and auto theft rates jumped 65%.
In the past, economists have explained such increases in crime by noting that drug users have an inelastic demand for drugs. Since greater enforcement of drug laws presumably drives up drug prices, addicts have to step up their criminal activities to pay for their habit. Yet the price of cocaine, the most important drug in Florida, fell dramatically in the second half of the 1980s -- a trend that should have reduced the property crime rate if the "drugs cause crime" argument is valid.
Benson's and Rasmussen's study suggests an alternate hypothesis: that rising property crime in Florida was partly a byproduct of increased enforcement of drug laws. Their analysis indicates that as more resources are allocated against drug crimes, the probability of arrest for property crime falls. Such a decline in arrest probability, they speculate, results in a rise in property crime rates because fewer career criminals are apprehended and because fewer potential criminals are deterred from crime.
The upshot, say the two economists, is that while drug use may often induce property crimes, enforcement of drug laws can also "cause" such crimes by limiting the resources targeted against them. The best way to control property crime, they suggest, is to focus enforcement efforts directly on such crime.

Perry May Reign in Senate If Democrat Out, Dead Man Wins
Texas Republicans, trying to push aside their legislative opponents, have targeted Democratic Senator Wendy Davis for defeat tomorrow and may wind up with a free hand to pursue objectives such as school vouchers.
Governor Rick Perry's party, which controls both legislative houses, may be able to ram through his priorities over Democratic senators' objections for weeks or months, if Republican Mark Shelton beats Davis, 49, and Mario Gallegos, a Houston Democrat who died in office Oct. 16, wins posthumously.
"If Wendy doesn't make it and we can't fill Gallegos' seat early enough, they will have, for a short period, the ability to do whatever they want," said Gilberto Hinojosa, the Texas Democratic Party chairman. The senate convenes in January.
Should Shelton, a state Representative from Fort Worth, win while the Gallegos seat is vacant, Senate Democrats may be pushed aside as Republicans press for school vouchers and a ban on so-called sanctuary cities that don't enforce immigration laws. Perry tried to get the latter measure passed last year, while cutting more than $5 billion from school budgets.
Full Bloomberg Coverage of 2012 Election
With the stakes so high, money has poured into the Davis- Shelton race. Davis, a former Fort Worth City Council member raised $3.59 million to his $2.3 million through Oct. 27, according to Texas Ethics Commission reports. Davis may have gained an edge after successfully challenging an attempt by Republicans to redraw her district in a way that would make it harder for her to win.
Rising Prospect
"It's more significant for the Democratic Party if she should win, because it makes her the No. 1 Democrat prospect for future statewide office," said Bill Miller, a co-founder of Austin lobbying firm HillCo Partners. "A victory will show that she can win in a Republican area during a presidential year."
Davis defeated Kim Brimer, a Republican lawmaker for two decades, to take the seat, 49.9 percent to 47.5 percent in 2008. A Libertarian candidate may have siphoned off some Brimer support: Tarrant County voters, where her district is located, backed Republican presidential candidate John McCain 55 percent to 44 percent for Barack Obama, who won the national election.
"We think we have a better than 70 percent chance of holding that seat," Hinojosa said.
Gallegos, who had spent more than $100,000 on his campaign, faced Republican Rasuali Bray, an Air Force veteran who raised about $8,500 through Sept. 27, Texas Ethics Commission filings show. Bray is likely to lose because at least 65 percent of voters in the district typically back Democrats, said Mark Jones, a Rice University politics professor in Houston. Gallegos, who died from liver disease, won with 70 percent of the vote in 2008.
Elected Dead
Texans have voted in a dead lawmaker before. State Representative Glenda Dawson, a Pearland Republican, died in September 2006, then was re-elected that November with 60 percent of the vote. Mike O'Day, who won a special election and runoff, filled the vacant seat on Jan. 24, 2007.
If Bray fails to win, a special election may occur in January or February, said Robert Miller, a lobbyist and lawyer with Locke Lord LLP in Houston. He isn't related to Bill Miller. Much may depend on how quickly Perry acts to replace Gallegos, he said.
"If Perry wanted to drag everything out as long as he could, the new senator wouldn't take office until late April," Jones said. That assumes a runoff election is required, he said.
Limited Measures
The Legislature convenes for about five months every other year, with the next session starting in January. During a session's first 60 days, only bills related to "emergency" issues, as determined by the governor, may be passed.
In 2011, Perry declared six such emergency issues, leading to the passage of measures such as requiring pre-abortion ultra- sound examinations, which produce sonogram images, for pregnant women and a bill forcing Texans to show photo identification to vote. The sonogram requirement is now law, while the voter- identification measure has been blocked by a federal court.
Davis has beaten the odds before. In 2011, the Legislature recast her district to reflect the 2010 U.S. Census, removing black and Latino voters -- groups that backed her in 2008. After she successfully challenged the new lines in federal court, state Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican, agreed in February to reset the boundaries as they were in 2008.
'Great Campaigner'
"Davis is ahead in the polls because she's a great candidate and a great campaigner," Robert Miller said. He was referring to voter surveys conducted by the two campaigns, which neither would discuss.
A divorcee with a baby daughter living in a trailer park by age 19, Davis went to a community college and then Texas Christian University. After graduating first in her class, she went to Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Returning home, she practiced law and was elected to five terms on the Fort Worth City Council before running for the state Senate in 2008.
The lawmaker drew national attention last year by leading a last-minute filibuster against a Republican budget that cut billions from public schools. Perry used a special legislative session to get the spending plan approved.
"Davis is very articulate, very energetic and is a whale of a campaigner," said Allan Saxe, who teaches politics at the University of Texas at Arlington and moderated a debate between Davis and Shelton last month. "Shelton is less forceful and more soft-spoken. But he still has a chance because of a lot of people will be voting a straight party ticket, and that could help him."
Star Power
A pediatrician, Shelton has been cast by Davis's advertisements as too extreme because of his votes to cut public-school funding, air-quality monitoring and the state's women's health program. The Republican lacks Davis's star power, said Robert Miller.
Shelton has attacked Davis over conflicts of interest because she voted on issues involving a legal client, toll road operator North Texas Transportation Authority. He brought a complaint to the Texas Ethics Commission that won't be resolved until after the election.
"Any time you have an elected official who is using her position to enrich themselves and line their pockets with taxpayer dollars, it's going to draw attention," said Clayton Stewart, a Shelton spokesman. "She hid her relationship and she didn't disclose enough information."
Davis denies any wrongdoing, campaign spokeswoman Anthony Spangler said. "She hasn't represented any clients before state government agencies, nor has her law partner," he said.
Conflict of interest charges could decide the election by helping Shelton attract moderates, said HillCo's Bill Miller. "If it's a close race that Davis loses, ethics issues will be the reason," he said.

Still house/dog sitting in Dover, Truus and Patrick joined us for a week and we took day trips exploring the beautiful south:
Ida Bay Railway. 23.12.09
Lune River
This is the most southerly railway in Australia, starting from Lune River, a tiny town about 100kms south of Hobart. The line was built in 1922 to carry limestone from quarries to Ida Bay where it was sent by river to Electrona for plastic and steel processing. The last limestone train ran in 1975, in 1977 it became a tourist train.
The 7 km train trip to Deep Hole Bay was fascinating, travelling through bush, button grass plains and coastal heath around Ida Bay and the Lune River. The water views were stunning!
It was a cool morning and we hopped onto the 9.30 train which was extremely noisy and breezy but lots of fun!!!!
After a competent local history from the driver we felt well informed and marvelled at the stoicism of the early settlers (from convict stock of course) that he spoke of.
At Deep Hole Bay, last stop on the line there is a shelter shed and lovely white swimming beach.
We advised the train driver of our intentions to catch the next train back, and having packed our rucksacks with lunch, we set off on the walking track to Southport Lagoon a 2 hour return trek through the bush.
The track is easy and a must-do and the tall black flowering grasses and flowering natives make a spectacular impact along the way.
The lagoon was just gorgeous under the cloudy sky; the flat water was aqua and grey, with mountain ranges framing the view.
Wow! once again another glimpse of nature's paradise-Tassie is full of beautiful scenery and remote destinations!
Apparently there had been 4x4 access to the area but the track is now closed.
Two hours later our train returned to collect us and we spent an hour or so in the caf� at lda Bay/Lune River station listening to stories of rivalry and unfriendly behaviour between locals of small neighbouring towns.
By the way you are not considered a "local" unless you have lived 25+ years in the town. We have noticed a certain wariness and lack of welcome in Dover and other towns down here; in fact a resident of Dover (30+ years) we met on the beach one morning told us: "Dover is full, we have no room for any new residents, the weather is awful and please tell everyone that you meet to avoid our town!!!!"
Of course there are a lot of exceptions and we have met some lovely people but must admit have not yet got to know any real born and bred locals!
According to another source, Huonville and Geeveston are "at war", the people of Dover and those from Cygnet have a long history of enmity.

|Bruins prospect Tommy Cross plays star in Beanpot semifinal
|02.08.11 at 12:39 am ET
Boston College defenseman Tommy Cross hopes to one day make some noise at TD Garden as a member of the Boston Bruins, but Monday he settled for doing so in his familiar Eagles sweater. The former second-round pick of the Bruins scored the game-winning goal in Monday's Beanpot semifinal, beating Boston University netminder Kieran Milan in overtime with the Eagles on the power play and clinching a 3-2 win.
The Bruins traded up in the 2007 NHL Draft to select Cross with the 35th overall pick. Right knee injuries kept him from participating in Bruins rookie development camps until this summer, where he joined fellow B's prospects for the first time.
With Harvard's Alexander Fallstrom and BU's David Warsofsky having lost on Monday, Cross will be the lone Bruins representative in the tournament final vs. Northeastern.
|Nathan Gerbe is a 'pest' to the Bruins in his homecoming to Boston
|01.21.11 at 12:05 pm ET
The TD Garden ice has always been kind to Nathan Gerbe.
It was again on Thursday night as the list of former Boston College players coming back to Boston and providing nightmare after nightmare to the Bruins continues to grow.
There's Brian Leetch with the Rangers. There's David Emma, Brian Gionta and Bill Guerin with the Devils. There's Patrick Eaves of the Hurricanes. Now, add Nathan Gerbe to that list.
With Bruins holding a precarious 2-1 lead midway through the second period, Gerbe fired a shot from the left circle past Tuukka Rask for the game-tying goal on the power play. It changed the momentum and set the stage for Thomas Vanek to take over the game in the third in Buffalo's 4-2 win Thursday night at the Garden.
Gerbe – not lacking confidence despite his 5-foot-5 frame – was the latest from The Heights to make life miserable for the Bruins as he mixed it up with B's captain Zdeno Chara and then lit the lamp.
"I'm a little frustrating player to play against," Gerbe said. "I am a little pest there, so I just tried to get under their skin a little bit. It is all in fun. He is a big guy, and I don't think I would win in a battle but it was definitely one to enjoy. I tired to hold my ground as much as possible. Just stand there and don't fall. He is so strong and such a good D man. It is fun to compete against him."
He certainly was a pest to the Black and Gold Thursday night.
"Those Boston College guys did a good job for us tonight," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff added. "I thought [Tyler] Myers made a great play, great look to feed it to him. Nathan, on the heels of playing a real strong game for us the other night, playing a excellent game for us tonight."
Gerbe, of course, was excellent during his three seasons at Boston College, capped off in 2008 when he scored five goals in the final two games of the Frozen Four, leading the Eagles to the national championship. He earned a place at the table as a Hobey Baker finalist as one of the very top players in all of college hockey with 68 points in 43 games. He led the Eagles to the Beapot and Hockey East titles that year, too – on the same Garden ice.
"Yeah you always get a lot of good memories here and a lot of good feelings," Gerbe said. "You get chills up your body, but it is a different league and you try to do as well as you can every night."
He scored last year in the playoffs against the Bruins in Game 6 but the Sabres lost, 4-3, as the Bruins moved onto the second round.
Now, he is helping to turn around a Sabres ship that was sinking just two weeks ago. The Sabres have beaten the two teams – Montreal and Boston – ahead of them in back-to-back games and are showing signs of moving up from 10th in the East.
'Very, very satisfying to score here," Gerbe said. "Even more satisfying to get the win and get the two points. It was huge for us. Hopefully we can keep rolling."

The Orchard Restaurant: Fine Dining in the Country
If you read my last blog you know that I'm on a mission to eat at all the best restaurants in the Brandywine Valley before I move back to England. I am nearly there. Last week I had a slight hiccup with Simon Pearce, but Corey, the General Manager has invited me back and apologized for any mishap. That will take place on Saturday. So stay tuned. But that's tomorrow. Today I am proud to write about a restaurant that is doing something really special in this area, The Orchard Restaurant in Kennett Square, PA.
The Orchard is tucked away in a little corner, behind a health food store on Route 1, going towards Kennett Square's downtown area. In fact, it is so tucked away that I have never seen it in all the years I have lived in this area. But I will not soon forget this gem in the country. My wife and I arrived on time and waited a couple of minutes to be seated. We were offered a well lit table, but chose a more secluded table away from the ruckus. Although there weren't many people dining that night, we counted 8, the main table was a very loud bunch that was clearly enjoying The Orchard's BYOB liquor license. Needless to say, we wanted the night to be a little more tame and chose a dark table in the corner.
There was only one waiter and as a result the service was a little slow. The first dish, compliments of the Chef, was a Butternut Squash Terrine with Duck Confit, Anise Oil and Ceviche with Cucumber. The Butternut Squash must have had a pound of reduced Butter in it, but I adored it. The Duck Confit was equally good, crispy with just a hint of Anise Oil. The Ceviche on the other hand was a bit out of place and was overpowered by the other dishes. Had I eaten it first it probably would have been better, but I started with the Butternut Squash and worked my way counter-clockwise until I reached the Ceviche.
Next up was my Goat Cheese Tart with Balsamic Reduction and Mesclun Greens Salad. A beautiful little dish, with just the right amount of crispiness and texture. My wife had the Pan Seared Foie Gras on Pan Seared Brioche with Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce. It was a very nice Foie Gras and the Mesclun Salad paired well with it. I am not a fan of Sweet Sauces with Foie Gras, but I know most are so I will spare you my thoughts on the Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce. The Brioche was also slightly over saturated in what I imagine was Foie Gras fat.
In between courses we enjoyed a Thyme Granita. Something I have never had, but really enjoyed as it helped cleanse my palate and prepare me for the next dish. My Loin of Lamb with Cabbage, Confit Risotto and a Glazed Cippolini Onion Reduction Sauce was a thing of beauty. The absolute best dish of the night. It reminded me of the Lamb I had at The French Laundry back in Sept. 2009. It was that good. And at $35 a pop I'm glad it was that good. The Lamb was tender, juicy and as flavorful as anything I've put in my mouth before. Couple that with the Risotto and Sauce and you have a dish that can stand up to the best of them. And it took a big dish like this to tame my 2005 Chateau Beaucastel Chateaunuef-du-Pape. Perhaps one of the best wines I have had for the money. My wife's Moulard Duck with Grilled Japanese Eggplant, Baked Plantain and Thai Basil Watercress Sauce was yet another example of Chef Gary Trevisani's anything goes approach to his food.
This seemed to be the theme of Chef Trevisani's cooking. He just does whatever comes to mind and doesn't ask permission from anyone. And for the most part, he does a hell of a job. You either like it, or you don't. Take for instance our pre-dessert dessert. A Chocolate Brownie served with cubes of Orange and Marshmallow. This was served before our main dessert, a Vanilla-Orange Blossom Semi Frio on Chocolate Pave with Hazelnuts Praline Tuile and Lemon Spice Jus. A wonderfully textured dish. The Chocolate Pave was stunning. To cap the meal off we had an Americano and finished with Petite Fours.
The Orchard Restaurant is perhaps the most exciting restaurant I've been to in a while. The service was a little slow, but you have to keep in mind, this is a restaurant off the beaten path, it was a Wednesday night and there was only one waiter. Chef Trevisani should be commended for bringing his insightful gastronomy to Kennett Square. His is a restaurant that would warrant a Michelin Star if it were in Europe and if there were more waitstaff to lend a hand and improve the service. My hat goes off to you Chef.

Sounds fantastic! And, as always, your photography adds to the gastronomic appeal.ReplyDelete
Will be interesting to hear what takes place at Simon Pearce.
I am glad to hear you enjoyed your experience at The Orchard. We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary there but the whole experience was a disaster (and The Orchard had always been our favorite celebration place!). The service was awful, the fish barely cooked... So it looks like we should be able to go back.ReplyDelete
I can't say anything nice about the service and I totally understand how this could ruin it for you. When I went there was one waiter and it was one of the slowest restaurants I have ever been to.
But the food was delicious and although there could be slight improvements, I think you should give it another try.

Hello everyone,
I admit to catching the sock bug ..having knit 20+ socks over the past few months!My question or request is..does anyone have any hints for remembering the washing instructions on the socks? For the gifted socks, I included the yarn wrapper. But, I am having a tough time trying to figure out how to keep track of the washing instructions for my personal sock collection.ie. can I mark the socks in a specific way that would remind me of its washing instructions? :??
After awhile, I forget which yarn is what and which yarn requires what type of wash/care :shrug:
Your hints/input would be greatly appreciated!
Maybe you could just stitch an X in different colors of sock yarn on the tops or bottoms of the toe to remind you. say yellow x for socks that are machine washable and red x for ones that are not. :shrug:
I like to keep my labels and get a short length of wool - say 10 centimetres - and tie it on to the label (I poke a hole in the label). So when you wonder how do I wash these blue socks? Look at your labels, the label from the wool you used on the blue socks will have a piece of matching wool tied to it. Should work as long as you don't make different pairs in wool that LOOKS identical but has different washing requirements.Sarah

Retired Florida Fire Captain Killed in Virginia Plane Crash
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - One of the four passengers killed when their small plane crashed in Virginia was a retired Florida fire captain.
Sunrise Fire-Rescue said in a statement that Theodore Bradshaw was a 33-year veteran of the department. He retired in 2005 after rising to the rank and serving as an assistant fire chief.
A department statement says "Bradshaw was known for his spirited personality, intense mentorship and his dedication to serve the community he called home for more than 40 years."
Flags were issued to be lowered to half-staff Saturday in honor of Bradshaw.
Meanwhile, in a remote section of Virginia's Great Dismal Swamp, authorities continue to work Sunday to remove the bodies of Bradshaw, his wife and two other passengers - all from Florida. The crash cause remains under investigation.

New York City's 5 Boro Taxi Plan: Winners, Losers and What's Next
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday he is not expecting legalized street hail service for livery car passengers "for a while."
Officials said the plan will be on hold at least until the new year, with a ruling not expected before January.
The city is appealing a State Supreme Court decision blocking the city's plan to sell 18,000 livery street hail permits as well as 2000 yellow medallions. The estimated billion dollars in revenue from the medallion sale -- as well the expanded cab service promised by the Bloomberg administration -- hangs in the balance.
The winner so far in this saga is the powerful medallion lobby, including the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade-- chief plaintiff in the lawsuit against the 5 Boro plan. This trade association has been a successful litigant against other city taxi polices, including legally nixing a mandate several years ago by the Bloomberg administration that cabs get at least 30 miles to the gallon.
The potential losers are livery customers and drivers. The city estimates more than 120,000 -150,000 illegal street hails occur a day. Many who live beyond Manhattan and rely on non-yellow cab service said they welcome more taxi regulation for these cars—including distinctive taxi markings, so they know a taxi driver is authorized to pick up passengers--as well as greater price regulation.
Krystle James, 27, of East New York, said since livery fares can be unpredictable she tries not to hail cabs on the street, instead writing down the number of a passing livery cab and calling their office. She thinks this helps her get a firm price on the cab so there's no haggling later.
But that's what Tariq Mohammad, 27, from Bedford-Stuyvesant loves about livery cab hails on the street. "I'll start off really low like $10, he'll start off higher, $20. We'll meet in the middle, $14-$15, I'll give him a dollar tip. $16 bucks, I save $4," he said.
Taxi and Limousine Commissioner David Yassky said he hopes livery drivers who were planning to operate legally and buy the new permits will "hang tight" as the appeal process plays out.
"We're going to push for the fastest possible outcome", he promised.
Sources in the both the livery and yellow cab industry expect a compromise will eventually be struck.
Guy Palumbo with Global Transportation Network Consultants said he thinks it's time for all sides to try and finally hash out some kind of plan soon. "At this stage the liveries and the taxis should develop a workable plan so when a decision is rendered they have a way forward," Palumbo said.
(Stephen Nessen contributed reporting.)

The term "industrial complex" has come to mean taxpayer money funneled to favored companies. Call it government spending, call it boondoggling, call it a gravy train, it's all the same thing. There are quite a few industrial complexes out there, but by far the most infamous is the military-industrial complex where government spends taxpayer money on entire wars, making the favored defense companies very rich.
The big three, Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) and Raytheon (RTN), are about to be in big trouble, and this has major implications for the smaller, more speculative companies in the nascent biodefense subsector such as Emergent Biosolutions (NYSE:EBS), Pharmathene (PIP) and Soligenix (NASDAQ:SNGX) that have been getting some investor attention lately due to current events. I am not the first one to say this, nor will I be the last, but at some point in the near future, governments worldwide will simply be forced to drastically cut back spending, the US especially. The money simply is not there to support it anymore. When this does happen, companies dependent on government contracts will not have time to adjust and Lockheed, Northrop, and Raytheon along with other smaller biodefense companies will be in dire straits, the latter group perhaps not surviving at all.
As for the degree of dependency, whereas much of defense proper slowly became more and more dependent on government, biodefense has been born and raised on government contracts. 20 years ago for example, Raytheon only made 48.9% of its revenues from government deals. Last year it was 73% (page 7). As for Lockheed, in 1992, 59.4% of total revenue (page 42) came from government. By 2012, that number ballooned to a whopping 82%. Northrop has been the exception which, unlike the other two, has been 90% dependent on government contracts for decades. And biodefense, as we will see, is and has always been nearly 100% dependent on government contracts.
Why the past success of defense proper is not translatable to biodefense
The biodefense subsector did not develop organically like Raytheon or Lockheed. It consists of smalltime companies that haven't accomplished much of anything except, at most, getting some money from the government to develop vaccines against bioterrorism threats. People can try to point to the Raytheon and Lockheed successes to date to extol the virtues of investing in federally funded companies, but the analogy doesn't work. War is inherently destructive, making the industry extremely profitable. War feeds on itself, governments get more greedy, and you can't reuse bombs. You have to keep buying more.
But biodefense? Where is the money in that? Let me begin with the most "successful" of them, Emergent Biosolutions. EBS has what any development stage biotech would consider a great success, and that is an FDA approved treatment for a deadly disease. In the case of EBS, that disease is anthrax, and the vaccine is BioThrax. Essentially all of EBS revenues come from the US Department of Health and Human Services, which stockpiles BioThrax. Revenues were $215.9M in 2012 (page 1). $215.3M was from the HHS, and the rest was from international and domestic customers. Other than that, EBS has a failed Lymphoma vaccine called HuMax-CD4 which died in phase II, and some other clinical and preclinical experiments.
Not to mention, BioThrax was approved through the FDA Animal Rule, because you can't exactly do a phase III on hundreds of anthrax patients that don't exist, complete with placebo to test a control. So we don't even know if this thing works on humans in the first place. And really, how much more BioThrax is the HHS going to buy and stockpile at the CDC?
Let's move on to Pharmathene. PIP is the proud recipient of $550M in government grants since its founding in 2001, to develop, you guessed it, another anthrax vaccine. And, also, an anthrax treatment for those already infected. And yes, a nerve agent antidote in case of chemical warfare. It has an accumulated deficit of $200M. From Pharmathene's 10-K:
For the foreseeable future, we believe our main customer will continue to be national governments, primarily the U.S. government. Substantially all of our revenues to date have been derived from grants and U.S. government contracts. There can be no assurances that existing government contracts will be renewed or that we can enter into new contracts or receive new grants to supply the U.S. or other governments with our products. The process of obtaining government contracts is lengthy and uncertain.
If the government cuts the company off, it's not like it can get some other sponsor for nerve agent antidote. Nobody wants it. It's useless, except in the event of a chemical weapons attack, in which case you're not going to be charging people in a mad panic for the treatment anyway.
Last but not least is Soligenix. This company has been around since 1987, doing pretty much nothing noteworthy. In the 90's it went through various dilutions and a 1:100 reverse stock split, and for some reason the government picked it up, gave it a few million dollars of which it has $3.8M (page F7) left, and told it to manufacture, yet again, another anthrax vaccine, this one called VeloThrax. And one for ricin, too.
Unlike the other two companies above, Soligenix does actually have an interesting and market-valuable product candidate called ThermoVax which enables vaccine to survive higher temperatures for a longer period of time. But being dependent on the Feds for funding, the valuable ThermoVax project could die at any minute, especially considering two other companies are getting anthrax vaccine funding and one of them is already FDA approved.
Point being, if you're going to invest in government contractors, you should have done it 20 years ago. And government funding cannot a company make. When government spending hits the inevitable wall, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. And the small anthrax companies will not escape the fire either.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it. I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

The hardest thing in TN will probably be avoiding the establishments that serve alcohol, unless you planning on eating fastfood the whole time.
There are no mag restrictions in TN.
The Great Smoky Mountains is a National Park so you may want to check their regs on that. I was in a state park last week that actually had a gun range. You can't carry a loaded gun while in the park except on the range. My suggestion would be to keep your gun unloaded in a locked case.(or not, concealed is concealed right?) It just depends on what you feel your biggest risk is, getting caught or needing your gun.
You are required to inform LEO's in TN that you are carrying. In the few instances that I have been pulled over or involved in accidents, I just showed them my carry permit along with my DL and registration. I never had any problems. I actually got out of a ticket one time for running a stop sign because when the officer asked me for my registration, I advised him that my gun was in the console with the registration. He got a little nervous and told me not to worry about the registration, and to stop at the sign next time and let me go. The other times they didn't seem to care other than asking where it was. I did have an officer ask me what I was carrying and when I told him it was an XD we ended talking for about 15 minutes about it, which kind made the lady that rear ended me mad that we were talking about guns instead of him writing his report.
There are some knife restrictions on size but I believe the blade length is 4"
Hope this helps

Three of Batons
Pictorial Key to the Tarot
A.E. Waite
The Tarot
S. L. MacGregor Mathers
General Book of the Tarot
A. E. Thierens
Three of Batons
A calm, stately personage, with his back turned, looking from a cliff's edge at ships passing over the sea. Three staves are planted in the ground, and he leans slightly on one of them.
Divinatory Meanings
He symbolizes established strength, enterprise, effort, trade, commerce, discovery; those are his ships, bearing his merchandise, which are sailing over the sea. The card also signifies able co-operation in business, as if the successful merchant prince were looking from his side towards yours with a view to help you.
Divinatory Meanings - Reversed
The end of troubles, suspension or cessation of adversity, toil and disappointment.
Additional Divinatory Meanings
A very good card; collaboration will favour enterprise.
Three of Batons
Divinatory Meanings
Three of Sceptres - Enterprise, Undertaking, Commerce, Trade, Negotiation.
Divinatory Meanings - Reversed
Hope, Desire, Attempt, Wish.
Three of Batons
Enterprise, effort, essay, trade, commerce, discovery, usurpation, daring, temerity and also imprudence, interruption, cessation and 'the end of troubles,' discontinuative.
The rather contradictory descriptions of this card's significance are well explained by its zodiacal position: Air on the Third house, which doubles the influence of 'air' and of the mercurial vibrations and effects. This card has the accent of the suit of wands. It must consequently denote: communication, reflection and all that comes from these. This needs little explanation.
Communication, instruction, reflexion, message, writing, postage and letters, superficial knowledge, airiness, passing impressions, discontinuance, interruption, change, perhaps a certain amount of geniality, imprudence also; neglect or want of proper attention; as to 'temerity' I should say only in so far as this means an easy manner of overcoming obstacles, quick insight; effort, essay, trade are correct. Mercury being the God of merchants, and thieves, this card may relate to commerce, theft and loss. "The end of troubles" is indeed well said, because this card gives the key for their solution and shows the way of escape.

Chanyeol on the chopping block for pre-debut post slamming SNSD's bare faces
EXO-K's Chanyeol has several Panns [1] [2] running around Nate right now over a Cyworld post he wrote in 2008 when he auditioning for SM.
His post states:
"Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I went to SM and met SNSD ㅋㅋㅋ
They were all bare faced so they were ugly
But Taeyeon looked hot.............
She's fu*king pretty
But not as pretty as Hoyeon"
Hoyeon is speculated to be his girlfriend at the time judging by his post history.
Fans claimed at first that it was photoshopped but netizens managed to find a thread made on an SM cafe that same year with several other caps of Chanyeol's post along with subsequent posts he made announcing that he was accepted as an SM trainee. You can find more caps of his mini-homepage at the source links above.
1. [+199, -116] Who is this nobody ba$tard from a nobody group
2. [+163, -16] I thought this had to be a joke at first...
3. [+111, -20] It's not photoshopped
4. [+72, -22] They're an idol group who looks more real while they're lip syncing than singing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+70, -8] Any of the fans trying to shield this, realize that you're doing nothing but admitting you're a blind fan. Staying quiet is the only way to help EXO as a fan.
Aside from the obvious hate comments that a post like this will garner:
"Has this ever been in the media? I only found out now.. Maybe it's because they're under SM. Not one article about it ㅋㅋ"
"I just want SNSD to stop promoting EXO. I feel stabbed in the back."
"MAMA, save us MAMA. Our careers are about to go down the drain, MAMA."
"SNSD did so much to help promote them, mentioning them every chance they got, including them in everything for more screen exposure... This absolutely disgusts me."
"This has been around since EXO's debut. Fans decided that it would be best not for Chanyeol or SNSD to see it floating around so we all went around trying to erase any posts that mentioned it before anyone found out. We'd try to give Chanyeol a hint by using keywords like 'Chanyeol's so fu*king pretty^^' to remind him that although we're hiding it, to remember to be respectful from now on..."
"I want to shield them because EXO gets hated on enough as it is but I can't because Chanyeol is in the wrong here."
"I wonder how he much he judges his fans."
"ㅠㅠ I admit oppa's mistake, I sincerely apologize as an EXO fan. Please just don't hate him too much, I'll apologize on his behalf. I'm really sorry."
"It breaks my heart to see him have to go through this as a fan.. and personally, I don't feel that he's in that bad of a wrong since everyone holds these judgements in their head, but I do recognize that this is something Chanyeol needs to learn from.."
"I think we as fans need to hold back from shielding this... This must've really hurt SNSD and their fans, especially with all that they did to help promote them. I apologize on his behalf ㅠㅠ.."
"So long, nobodies."
"I went to their fan signing... Chanyeol, did you think that while looking at my face?ㅠㅠ"
"EXO, if this is true, let's just get through all this hate together and reflect to become better people!"
"Chanyeol probably never thought in his wildest dreams that SNSD would grow to be this big ㅋㅋ"
"There are a lot more issues with EXO that have not yet reached the surface aside from Chanyeol so I hope they take this as a lesson to clean up their act."
"Seems like Soo Man's too blinded by money to check up on the people he's debuting as his puppets."
Disclaimer: I don't know what's true and what isn't. I'm just reporting the response that this has garnered because it was requested.

Bowl of Film Soup Rumble2014-04-28 1 14 Share Tweet
EBS, redscale, cross processing – if you've already done these experiments with your film rolls, why don't you put your game a notch and try dipping them in your personalized film soup?
We all have our own favorite film that always gives us that desirable blend of color and saturation. But sometimes, cross processing, redscaling or exposing both sides of these films cannot seem to render that funky effects we want.
Being the experimental and wild analogue shooters that we are, we go to the ends just to achieve what we want, going as drastic as destroying our own precious rolls. But not as much as tearing it up into tiny bits and pieces. That'll be way too silly! I'm talking about film soups! Acidifying, bleaching, marinading – all have been done by those who are brave enough to face the unknown ends of experimenting too much. And in this rumble, we are giving the spotlight to these Lomographers and their precious little work!
What's your favorite beverage to battle the scorching heat? Do you have a go-to cleaning agent that always leave your stained tiles spotless? Do you prefer coffee over tea? Well, why don't we mix these all up to create a film soup! Dip your film rolls and show us the funky result!
- 5 winners of 10 piggies each
- Maximum of five submissions per user
- Don't forget to tag your photos (film, cameras, accessories, and at least three tags). Photos without these tags will not be accepted.
- Submissions must be taken using an analogue camera. Please keep in mind our theme.
- Rumble will run for a week.
Ready your bowls. Mix those beverages, detergents, and other crazy liquids for your film soup. Don't forget to submit the Lomographs from these concoctions to us!

Second Look® Tax REVIEW: WE FIND MONEY OTHERS MISS
You want your maximum refund - every year.
Are you sure you got your maximum refund last year? What about the last three years? For one reason or another, you might not have claimed all the credits or deductions you deserve on a past-year tax return - and that can mean missing out on money you could put toward bills, building savings, or buying something nice.
And it's our job to make sure you got it.
The good news is that it's not too late to check those old returns again. With the Second Look® tax review, our trained professionals will review old tax returns that you or others prepared. The goal? To get you the refund you earned, fair and square.91
What We Look For
You're wondering - where might those dollars be hiding? Common mistakes we catch during a tax return review include:
Missed education credits:
If you are a student or are a student's parent, are you sure you are taking full advantage of the American Opportunity Credit, the Lifetime Learning Credit and all available deductions for tuition? The rules are complicated and errors are common.
Inaccurate filing status:
Selecting your optimal filing status has a strong impact on the value of some credits and deductions. For some families, changing your filing status can make you eligible for a larger refund.
Overlooked Earned Income Tax Credit:
The Earned Income Tax Credit can mean thousands of extra dollars for working families. Qualifying depends on rules regarding income, marital status, and family size – so it's a credit that's often missed. In fact, the IRS reports that only 20 percent of those eligible for this credit claim it on their tax return. And that's just not enough!
Second Look® Tax Review: How It Works
It just so happens we've made a video. Watch now to see how Second Look® Tax Review works and what it could mean for you.
Watch Now
The Second Look® Tax Review is absolutely free. Schedule a time to visit your local H&R Block office to put your wondering to rest.

@ the NSX looking great but otherwise not being that great. Amazing driving dynamics, great build quality, innovative construction, and great performance for its time. Why are people such badge-tards on this forum?

At least my fanboyism is grounded in reality. I don't see magazines talk about how groundbreaking a GTI (aside from the Mk1, the original hot hatch) is. The NSX, on the other hand, was truly revolutionary. I don't see magazines tout the GTI as the best FWD car ever created [insert ITR here]. I don't see people selling their NSXes to buy an R32 because the NSX is just a Honda. I didn't see VW win any SCCA Pro Racing titles back in the 90s when the ITR and the NSX just about dominated. And even now, the RTR TSXes are consistently at the top of their class. In Grand Am Continental Challenge ST class, the Civic Si has taken more #1 spots (3) than the VW GTI (1).
My fanboyism goes beyond the badge in REAL WORLD success, and I'm not talking car shows or midnight drags down the highway.
Kind regards,The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." -Benjamin Franklin
If it was all about motorsport success, all Audi owners should be hawking their cars constantly because Audi dominates Le Mans and DTM. It's funny because you're stuck in the past. The NSX is decades old and the ITR is done. Look at Honda now. We all love the NSX and S2k, but that's it. ITR doesn't deserve the praise you give it. It is no more than a guised up Integra, like an R32 is to a Golf.
GTI has been liked for years. It was on C&D's 10 best for awhile.
Tell that to Car and Driver, evoUK, and Sport Compact Car (now known as Modified. blech). You seem to hate the ITR because its FWD. You see:ITR doesn't deserve the praise you give it.
Naturally aspirated,
and go, "It sucks." Have you even driven one? No. Do you like Miatas? Of course you do, this is Car Lounge. Oh, and it's RWD. That means you already like it, no? Oh, what, you don't like the Miata because it's a gay car and it's slow? Don't make me laugh. I'll sooner listen to people who actually DRIVE the cars they talk about than those who look at a badge and go, "Pfft, no VW no care." The Miata is a great car because its simple, no nanny electronics, easy to drive, and most of all FUN to drive. Many people have likened the ITR to a FWD Miata: simple, no nanny electronics, easy to drive, and fun to drive.
I bolded that last statement because nearly every R32 supporter in this thread (and out in the world) seems to think otherwise.It is no more than a guised up Integra, like an R32 is to a Golf.
I've had brief seat time in an R32 (parking lot car control clinic). Gobs of torque is fun, but when pushed hard to its limits, you really notice the weight and 62/38 dist., and that's what holds it back from being from just a good car to a great car.
I've only ridden in an S2000, and while the engine is anemic under 4000, who cares? A high revving 4 cylinder that pulls hard from 5000 to 9000 is more fun and rewarding to drive than a big 6 cylinder that pulls hard from 2000 to about 5700 and then you start to feel the torque drop off even though it's got another 1000 rpm to go.
You can make them enjoyable to drive, too, if you do things the right way, but most "Emkay" kids just screw them up by throwing eBay springs on stock struts and throw on anything that resembles a BBS wheel, putting a badgeless grille on and leaving it ABS black, and other stupid things that ultimately ruin the VW badge for the rest of us.
Yes, Honda is a magnificent auto maker. I've loved every Honda I've owned except for 1, and that one was my fault. Yes, an NSX is a supercar in my book. Not all people who like VW's hate Honda. My Uncle has an NSX (post facelift), and it is amazing. Yes, ITR's are amazing vehicles for what they are. I owned a GS-R, and I loved it. I've driven a 98' Type R around a track, and I really really enjoyed it. Honda manufactured amazing automobiles in the 90's, and continues to do so today. I see more 8th gen Civics than anything else on the road.
TL;DR: Not all VW-fans are bad. I for one, love Honda.
Who ever put the FR-S,BRZ up is as smart as a box of smashed d!(ks... In a time where cars are getting fatter and progressively boring, this is a very welcome change. And if your badge blind with any luck it will light a fire under the ass of the rest of the car manufacturers in that class.
You Won't do it...
Ill just put this here and walk away. Not that it was hored just not as good as every honda guys says but hey if you only have two performance cars to choose from you need to talk a big talk about what you got.

Wow, the amount of Honda hate in this thread is staggering, even by TCL standards. The S2000, NSX, and ITR aren't great cars? OOOOOOOOOOK.

The potential hokup with Facebook, which could have broadened and enhanced the social networking that the Waze app offers, fell apart because Facebook wanted to uproot the Waze team from Israeli and move them to Facebook HQ. For its part, Google has already purchased two Israeli firms and left the operations of both in that country.
Waze uses signals from subscribers' phones to generate real-time traffic reports. The app then sends out the best route for travelers based on traffic conditions reported from other Waze members, and other factors such as construction and accidents. Police radar traps are revealed to subscribers along with low gas prices.
Interestingly, Microsoft was an early investor in Waze back in 2009, but has passed up investing in later financing rounds. With the rumored interest in Waze, it would not be surprising to see a bid from Google kick off a bidding war for the company. Perhaps that explains the higher bid rumored to be coming from Google, 30% above the $1 billion previously mentioned in earlier speculation. Google might bid higher in order to eliminate any competitive offer for the company, which has close to 50 million users.
