Fresh, Never Frozen
Guy and server Joan Blanco look on as Chef Alex Luco of El Figaro shells fresh lobster to make the joint's signature Lobster in Coffee Sauce.
Find the Restaurant: El Figaro
Lobster in Coffee Sauce — El Figaro
As the story goes, this dish was created when Gilberto Smith Duquesne, one of the most-important chefs in Cuban history, accidentally spilled espresso in the lobster he was preparing for French President Francois Mitterrand.
Family Time
Guy's wife, Lori, and his parents gave the signature El Figaro dishes a try. "I've never had anything like this," Penny, Guy's mom, said of the lobster. "I love coffee, I love lobster, but who ever thought of putting them together?"
Find the Restaurant: El Figaro
Camagueyana-Style Pork Loin — El Figaro
Named for the Camaguey province, this pork loin is made with sauteed peppers and onions in a light sauce. Guy called this simple dish absolutely "dynamite."
Miami Beach or El Malecón?
The restaurant Nazdarovie sits on El Malecón, a scenic 5-mile stretch of highway along the coast of Havana. Guy thought it looked a little like Ocean Drive: "So easy to get those two mixed up, being that they're only, like, 90 miles away," he joked.
Find the Restaurant: Nazdarovie
Back in the USSR
Guy watches as Chef Irina Butorina of Nazdarovie mixes the dough to make Russian pelmeni, a filled pasta much like ravioli.
Find the Restaurant: Nazdarovie
Pelmeni, Russian-Style Ravioli — Nazdarovie
Just like they're made in Russia, these pelmeni are stuffed with meat, then topped with sour cream and fresh herbs.
Chicken Kiev — Nazdarovie
A log of aromatized butter is frozen, then wrapped with a breaded chicken cutlet, which is then fried. Freezing the butter keeps it from melting during the prep process.
Fast Food, Cuban Style
Guy watches as Chef Ugo Chigon prepares the signature stuffed plantains from Fonda Paladar la Paila, a Cuban joint known for its quick service.
Find the Restaurant: Restaurante Fonda Paladar la Paila
Stuffed, Fried Plantains — Restaurante Fonda Paladar la Paila
These crunchy tostones are shaped like cups, deep-fried, then stuffed with lamb that's been marinated in a housemade sauce.
Barbecue Pork Ribs — Restaurante Fonda Paladar la Paila
The sauce on these Cuban-style ribs is made with sour orange for a fresh island feel.
Feeling Salty
Chef and owner Ivan Rodriguez and server Lilien Rodriguez tell Guy about the 21-day process behind salting and curing the lamb ribs for one of their dishes at Al Carbon.
Find the Restaurant: Al Carbon
Salted and Pulled Lamb — Al Carbon
The dried lamb ribs are rehydrated before they're shredded and sauteed with onions, peppers and sour orange. "This is the best thing I've had since I've been here," Guy says of the dish.
Fish of the Day — Al Carbon
Everything at this restaurant is sourced locally and super-fresh, including this snapper that was caught the night before. After the whole fish is grilled, it's topped with a unique house chimichurri sauce made with balsamic vinegar.
Take Me to Church
In 2013 chef and owner Diego Hernandez turned his mother's house into a holy house of food, La Catedral. Here, Guy helps Hernandez marinate goat meat for stew.
Find the Restaurant: La Catedral
Goat Stew — La Catedral
The goat meat in this stew soaks for 12 hours in an aromatic red wine marinade before it is cooked. The stew is then served with malanga, a boiled root similar to yucca.
Fried Rice — La Catedral
While not a traditional Cuban dish, this Cuban take on a Chinese favorite is made with chicken, pork, shrimp, ham and eggs.
Chicken and Cigars
Guy watches as Chef Juvenal Gonzales makes the house chicken dish at Casa Abel, a one-stop shop for dynamite Cuban food and Cuban cigars.
Find the Restaurant: Casa Abel
Beer-Can Chicken in a Rum Marinade — Casa Abel
This one-of-a-kind house dish is made with three kinds of alcohol: wine, rum and beer.
Marinated Deep-Fried Pork — Casa Abel
The pork meat in this traditional Cuban dish is cooked on low heat so it remains incredibly tender. The carnitas are served alongside fufu, a mashed plantain dish seasoned with lime.

Manuel Almunia believes William Gallas is still the real leader of Arsenal despite having been stripped of the captaincy.
Almunia is currently in possession of the armband after Cesc Fabregas picked up a long-term injury.
Yet he insists the inspiration still comes from Gallas and cites the manner in which Arsenal players celebrated Gallas' winning goal against Portsmouth as evidence that there are no lingering problems over the French defender's controversial autobiography in which he questioned his team-mates' bravery and accused one Arsenal player of disrupting morale.
Almunia said: "William is a very good professional. When he was captain he would fight for the team, in every aspect.
"He is a real winner and has a strong character. But we are on William's side - everyone supports him. I have a very good relationship with him and I was very happy for him to score.
"He has shown that he is an unbelievable professional. He is a player with more trophies than anyone else in the team - everyone has to respect that.
"He knows how to get success. Even though he is not the captain we follow him. I play with so much confidence when William is playing in front of me. He has won the World Cup and I have so much respect for him."
Wenger has confirmed he does not want to sell in the January transfer window so at 31 Gallas could have a crucial role in the Gunners' quest to get back into the title race.
Arsenal trail league leaders Liverpool by 10 points and long-term injuries to players such as Theo Walcott, Fabregas and Tomas Rosicky have disrupted their season.
Yet Almunia believes it is the steely identity which saw Arsenal win so many trophies with the likes of Patrick Vieira and Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry which is still missing.
Almunia said: "We have shown good character, but we still have a little more to go to find the real Arsenal.
"The main thing is to look for our identity, our way, our character that gave this club all their titles and trophies.
"For whatever reason we lost our way, our character and the way we play on the pitch. We need to re-find our spirit and our desire to win games."
The form of Gallas could be key, especially now he seems to be rediscovering his love for the club without the stripes of responsibility.
Almunia added: "Maybe he lost some energy when he was captain. He took responsibility for the pressure felt by all the players. William took too many responsibilities and tried to be the main player on the pitch.
"I think he is playing better than before. I spoke to him last week and he told me that now he is playing better because he is not losing too much energy because he is not worried about other things and other players or other circumstances off the pitch."

BeschreibungIn the spring of 1793, eighteen-year-old Nancy Randolph, the fetching daughter of one of the greatest of the great Virginia tobacco planters, was accused, along with her brother-in-law, of killing her newborn son. Once one of the most sought-after young women in Virginia society, she was denounced as a ruined Jezebel, and the great orator Patrick Henry and future Supreme Court justice John Marshall were retained to defend her in a sensational trial. This gripping account of murder, infanticide, prostitution charges, moral decline, and heroism that played out in the intimate lives of the nation's Founding Fathers is as riveting and revealing as any current scandal -- in or out of Washington.

When it comes to health-and-wellness concerns, digestive matters rank high with consumers. With this increasing interest in digestive health, increasing fiber consumption is also occurring, according to Beth Peta, bakery marketing manager at Cargill, Wayzata, MN. She shared recent surveys, including the Gallup Report on Probiotics, the IFIC Food & Health Survey and the NMI Health & Wellness Trends, which noted:
* The American Dietetic Association advised healthy adults to consume 20 to 35 g of fiber daily, and the American Diabetes Association urged people at risk of type 2 diabetes to eat at least 14 g fiber per 1,000 Cal consumed, a level also suggested by the US Department of Agriculture for the general population. The Food and Drug Administration uses 25 g dietary fiber per 2,000-Cal intake as its Reference Value for nutrition labeling.

A disappointing opening draw against North Korea has left England with it all to do in their second match. With the four best third-placed teams to make it through to the last 16, it is not do or die yet, but England – who face Argentina in Medellin this evening – know they need a much-improved performance if they are to raise morale.
The timing of the tournament means that England's players are still in pre-season. "For a lot of them, Friday's game [against North Korea] was the first 90-minute game they'd played in two to three months," coach Brian Eastick said. That is all but unavoidable given the rhythm of the English calendar, but where Eastick has been let down is in the 36 players he might have selected who were made unavailable by their clubs.
"I have no control over it, so I'm not frustrated," Eastick pointed out. "Those players should be frustrated – because they're missing a great learning experience. It will be interesting to see on the opening day of the season how many of those players are in their first teams and how many are in the reserves."
As a result of the withdrawals, Eastick has been left with an inexperienced squad that has rarely played together and which, combined with the relative lack of fitness, complicates preparations for today's game. "My concern as a coach is that these players have only been training for three weeks," Eastick added. "Physically, the first game took a lot out of us. Argentina start as favourites."
Argentina, who have won this tournament a record six times, were fleetingly impressive in beating Mexico 1-0 on Friday, with the smoothly potent Erik Lamela scoring the goal, while Juan Iturbe continually caught the eye with his darts from the left after coming off the bench at half-time.
For much of the game, though, Argentina were too overly direct, which had been a regular criticism of their play during a disappointing South American Youth Championship.

Management is a Science, Don't You Know
The article itself illustrates the conundrum and the dilemma faced by these science-based educational institutions like business schools, "does making something measurable, quantifiable, metrisizable, or countable, make it ethical?" Business schools and businesses in general are feeling employee heat, community leadership heat, even some shareholder heat to demonstrate some kind of personal responsibility beyond increasing shareholder value. As the chief human resources officer of one of the largest accounting firms in the world said near the end of the article, "I'm not so sure that an "A" in an ethics class is really a valid way of judging" [an individual's moral compass].
Upon reading this statement I couldn't help but reminisce about the remarkably sudden destruction of Arthur Anderson and Co. through arrogance, hubris, plus complete misjudgment of their position in the public's mind, but more importantly, in the eyes of the US Justice Department. It sounds like this industry has yet to learn something about ethical business principles.
The main problem, in my judgment, as I watch so many of these highly trained business school graduates mess things up, behave as though they have no moral compass, don't care, and an increasing number are being indicted, there are too few, if any business schools run by real business people.
I have urged my friends at Fortune magazine, occasionally, to consider publishing one more list, one which companies would never vie to be on: "The Fortune Felons List." It would probably resemble the other lists that are routinely published but the entries would be in a slightly different order. Every executive involved should be listed along with their business school. That listing alone would be a surprising metric for the public to understand and know.
To make ethical behavior relevant, important, and even required will take a tsunami like change in educational as well as business community thinking. This thought process changing will involve three crucial steps triggered by a catastrophe that captures the nation's attention.
First, there has to be a different ethical effectiveness measurement process. We need a system of ethics metrics that passes the straight face test, and is disclosable.
Second, business education needs to focus a lot more on the practical problems businesses face every day, taught by the people who succeeded or failed to work through those problems and the real ethical questions, rather than moving cheese, counting Penguins, or going Wow. The practical has to dramatically dominate the theoretical.
Third, recognize that the business people who really need more ethical help and coaching, rather than the 22 to 24 year olds, are those in their late 30's and early 40's. These business people have been on the firing line every day, making the decisions, the compromises, and the actions to get their work done, often by degrading and debilitating their moral and ethical frameworks.
Until we can spontaneously name industry leaders who inspire, who motivate, whose ethical and sensible leadership example can be emulated, and there is a relentless pressure educators, colleagues and peers to take business education and practices in more ethical and moral directions, and move away from the present but well-established amoral, theoretically based, totally financially driven business practices, American society will continue indicting, prosecuting, and incarcerating smart people who know better, but act otherwise.
Why do these smart people get into trouble? Three reasons:
1. Peer pressure: "Only sissies stress ethics over performance."
2. They will get paid handsomely, whatever they do, even if they go to prison.
3. Their peers are the first to rationalize toxic behavior, "If they didn't do it, someone else would." "It was just an isolated incident."
Why be ethical with friends like these?

Knights lacrosse eyes third straight state title
MISSOULA, Mont. - The high school lacrosse season is wrapping up this week with the state tournament in Whitefish. Once again this year it's the Hellgate Knights who have earned the #1 seed.
"We're in a pretty comfortable position, but pretty familiar, said Hellgate head lacrosse coach Kevin Flynn. "We've been used to playing at the top for the last few years and you know I think it's a testament to the kids just being focused on the end goal all year long."
"We just try to be the best team in the state and try to represent the state well, so being that number one seed means a lot," said Hellgate senior Duncan Szalda-Petree.
The Hellgate Knights lacrosse team continues to make history as the best team in the state, but with that title comes high expectations.
"I think it's hard to play with a target on your back," said Flynn. "You do have to be focused every week because you know you're going to get and A game out of every opponent that you see."
"We have to go into each game expecting that they're going to be trying to take us out with as much as they can," said Hellgate junior Hudson Therriault. "We've had a target on our back since the first year we started lacrosse in Montana."
"We know the target is on our back, we've done this before, we've been there, so I think it's all the same and we can definitely just handle it," said Szalda-Petree.
Having the pressure of being the team to beat is nothing new for the Knights who have won the state title the past two years.
"We want to win every game we play in no matter what, state tournament, regular season, all that kind of stuff we play every game to win," said Flynn.
"It's really expected of Hellgate to perform very well," said Therriault.
"There's a little bit of pressure because we are expected to win it you don't want to lose is the main thing," said Szalda-Petree. "Just winning it every year has become really important."
Hellgate will take on either Missoula Sentinel or Billings Skyview in the first round of action on Saturday in Whitefish.

King Coal's Stages of Grief, Part 4: Bargaining for Delay
July 24, 2015 2:52 PM EDT
This week's post in my ongoing series focuses on the third stage of grief, bargaining. The U.S. coal industry continues to get hammered by a series of terrible earnings reports, an ongoing wave of bankruptcies, and falling bond prices. Since my last post, Alpha Natural Resources has been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange because of consistently and unusually low stock prices, and Arch Coal executed a 10-1 reverse stock split in an effort to delay the same fate. In the bargaining stage, the grieving person typically looks for ways to avoid the ultimate fate, or buy time. For the coal industry, the bargaining stage manifests itself as industry supporters trying to delay any attempt to limit pollution from coal, including action to reduce carbon emissions.

YES, says Hayley Parsons, Founder and chief executive of price comparison website gocompare.com
That new car smell must be powerful stuff: it's the dealer's equivalent of the eau de baguette supermarkets pump round their stores to keep the tills ringing. It's the only way I can explain how responsible people who would usually shop around for the best deal on everything from clothes to home insurance will temporarily park their senses at the showroom door and sign up to a forecourt finance deal within minutes.
The smell softens you up. The salesman and his two best friends, fear and desire, do the rest. "Yes it's a beauty isn't it?" he says. "There's a lady coming back this afternoon. Has the cash but wants her friend to see it." He pauses long enough to read the look of dismay on your face and then throws a safety line. "Still, if you like it, it'll only take a few minutes to sort out finance and you can drive her home." Gotcha!
The love affair with your new wheels may last thousands of miles but your affection for the finance deal may fade considerably quicker. The first cracks will appear when you realise the interest rate is almost certainly substantially more than you'd pay on a personal loan through an independent lender. The price in the windscreen which looked an absolute steal may turn out to be more like daylight robbery once the cost of the finance has been added.
A particularly cunning salesman's ruse is the offer of a seemingly competitive flat rate of interest. To the untrained ear they sound very similar to the rates quoted by the leading personal loan providers but there's a big difference: the flat rate of interest is on the whole of the borrowed amount for the entire term of the loan rather than the steadily reducing balance of a normal personal loan. The APR for a flat rate loan is much higher than the headline interest rate, so ask for the equivalent APR and then watch the salesman squirm as he tries to explain the big difference.
Another tactic is the upsell. Once the salesman sees you've taken news of the monthly payment figure in your stride he'll have a go at getting you to part with more money. Pointing to a car well outside your previous price range he'll explain that by increasing your monthly payment by £15 a week you could buy that little beauty instead. Before you know it you're driving home in a car you didn't really want at a price you didn't want to pay. Sucker!
Rule number one: organise finance first. Research the best loan deals and get the money in your account before you go to a showroom. Some low interest rate credit cards may be cheaper than forecourt finance, and cash is king. Having the money there and then puts you in the driving seat. Whipping out your debit card may not give you the same feeling as waving a wad of notes under the salesman's nose but the effect on him is the same. When the money's at your fingertips you'll never pay the asking price again.
NO, says Paul Harrison, Head of motor finance at the Finance & Leasing Association
Like me, you probably paid cash for your first car. It probably didn't cost much and probably wasn't very stylish. I can still see the look on my parents' faces when I offered to save their French hatchback from the scrapheap!
As you get older, aspirations change. You'll probably want to buy a new and improved car but there's no denying it's an expensive purchase and few of us will have the cash under the mattress, especially in current conditions. So the alternative is a loan.
Millions have turned to finance sold in dealerships to fund their purchase. The Finance & Leasing Association has, despite the wider downturn, seen a rise in the popularity of specialist motor finance provided by member firms. Last year more than 53% of new car buyers purchased their pride and joy using dealer finance, up from 47% in 2007. In fact, FLA members provided almost £18bn of financing last year. So why the increase? Since the credit crunch, much of the ultra low-rate credit has disappeared. But since dealer finance is secured against the car, lenders can be more flexible in terms and conditions.
Tell your local dealer you have a monthly budget of £180 and he will probably be able to offer a product and repayment schedule that matches what you can afford - as well as handing over the keys to a shiny new car. Tell your dealership you're expecting a pay rise next year, and they will be able to arrange a deal where your monthly repayments are lower and a "balloon" [or one-off, final] payment is deferred until the end of the term, when your salary has increased. This flexibility is invaluable at a time when we are all trying to scrimp and save.
Dealers can offer an array of finance products depending on whether you want to own your car or rent it for a couple of years. Hire purchase has traditionally been the most popular form of motor finance, but in recent years personal contract purchase has increased in popularity. PCP gives customers the freedom to hand back the car and walk away, put down equity towards a new deal or make a balloon payment to take ownership. Leasing is also attractive because of its lower monthly payments. Flexible finance extends to all cars - be it a £7,000 runaround or a £50,000 luxury saloon.
We all live hectic lifestyles and dealer finance aims to be as convenient as possible. There is no long-winded application process. Simply walk into a dealership and a specialist will guide you through the process. A decision on your application is usually made within minutes, so if the car you want is there you could drive it away the same day.
Many dealers can combine finance with add-ons such as extended warranties, breakdown cover and payment protection should you lose your job. One regular payment covering all your motoring expenses really is about as convenient as it gets. It really is a buyer's market: there's never been a better time to get a car on finance.
• Do you change your car regularly? If so, do you let the dealer arrange the finance or do you prefer to find the money yourself - possibly borrowing elsewhere?

We tried out Allshare and it works like a dream. Unlike Samsung's last generation of Blu-ray systems, setup is child's play and the on-screen menu system looks utterly classy – folders are laid out in a logical structure and use polished, colourful graphics. File browsing is also slick and responsive, and most of our test files played without any problems.
As well as media streaming and BD Live, the internet connection also grants access to Samsung's Internet@TV service, which brings a variety of applications to your TV through a smart, approachable interface.
The most useful of these is YouTube, but other apps like Twitter and Picasa are great for keen social networkers, plus the forthcoming Facebook and LoveFilm services will make this feature even more worthwhile.
The extensive multimedia support continues with the front-mounted USB port, which will play the formats listed above from USB flash drives, MP3 players, digital cameras and USB card readers. It won't play back from external HDDs or NTFS-formatted devices though, and our WMV HD files played back with no sound.
Amazingly, we've barely scratched the surface. Buried among the usual array of DSP modes (Smart Sound, Power Bass, MP3 Enhancer) and sound effect settings (which have overly descriptive titles like 'Philharmonic Hall in Bratislava'), you'll find Dolby Pro Logic IIz. By moving the surround back speakers to the front of the room above the TV, this processing mode adds a height element to the soundstage, which can be particularly atmospheric during scenes with non-directional ambience.
Samsung claims that the on-board Crystal Amplifier Pro delivers a total power output of 1330W, which sound pretty impressive on paper, plus it boasts Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio decoders. Elsewhere there's 1GB of built-in memory for BD Live downloads and it supports 1080/24p Blu-ray output from the HDMI port.
The vast amount of components and gizmos in the box makes installation more complex than your average all-in-one system – we'd set aside a good hour just to put it all together. You have to connect the speakers to colour coded terminals on the back of the main unit using the supplied cables, as well as rig up the wireless receiver at the back of the room and assemble the two-part tallboy front speakers, which slot together and screw into sturdy square bases.
The four matching surround satellites are robustly built, and their compact cuboid cabinets should be easy to accommodate. The centre speaker is similarly styled but elongated to fit under the TV, while the passive subwoofer is surprisingly stylish and compact. In situ, the HT-C6930 will bring a bit of glamour to any living room.
On-screen setup is easy. The gloss-black remote's button layout is nigh-on perfect, while the menus' crisp multicoloured graphics, smooth scrolling and logical menu structure makes them a breeze to explore. During playback, the Info and Tools menus provide key details and additional setup options, including picture presets and user adjustments.
Nice review - looks a good piece of kit! Encouraging to see that (a) its not on offer by Pixmania & (b) its on the Samsung UK website - so not a great import like the HT-C6200 reviewed previously!
Ooops! for "great import" read "grey import" :(
That's the price I'd expect to pay for a system like this without 3D. With 3D capability, this is a relative bargain in my eyes!
Greatt review Danny, and it seems this all-in-one system fits all my bills.
One question though: did you try it with music files and how does it sounds? Is it harsh with trebble or slow/pedestrian with bass?
And most important to me: Since it doesn't support flac files, can I connect multimedia player (like WDTV Live, for example) through HDMI in of this system and play my flac music collection?
You mention in the review that the reciever has 1 hdmi v4 port and 2 hdmi v3 ports, but the picture of the reciever only shows 2 hdmi outs.
@fireisdangerous: Looking at the photos, there's one hdmi out and two hdmi in.
It's still quite a lot of money for an all-in-one system. Even though I'm due to audition the Denon 2310 at my local AV store. I can't help but wonder if others can find a separates setup outputting a better picture and sound for a similar outlay.
hve to say to me, it looks like a waste of time. Seriously are you gonna sit there like a monkey hae to ware heavy uncomfortable glasses all the time.
Take an average family they will need 5 pairs of glasses to watch one of these :s And if the have visitors? just seems like technology for the sake of it, rather than a sensible home application to me. I will definately be ignoring the 3d band wagon.
Do you know if the tallboy speakers are wall mountable? I have 2 young children and the best thing to do is keep things off the floor where possible !
What is the startup time between switching on and playing a BR content?

I think so. Joanne McPortland continues to say the stuff I want to say but so much better than I can say it:
Conservative critics, especially of academia, have made much over the years of the Tyranny of Tolerance, the ways in which thoughtful exchange among those who differ is purposely derailed by accusations of privilege and claims of victim status, examined for evidence of political incorrectness with a scrupulosity usually reserved for clerks of the Spanish Inquisition. I am not a conservative critic—I don't even want to play one on TV, in spite of my new crankiness—but I'm starting to think they've got something. Being Catholic again has suddenly moved me (an old 60s hippie, an erstwhile political liberal, a woman, a person of complicated sexual identities) from US to THEM, from ally to enemy, in so many situations. And after a few weeks spent banging around the threads of the Patheos bloggers' Facebook page, being tarred with the general brush of Privilege-Majority-Intolerant-Disrespectful by Pagans and Progressive Christians and the Spiritual-But-Not-Religious and even an Atheist or two, I've finally figured out why.
I have come home to a Church that is all about bright lines, honoring clearly defined rules and standards that leave little room for personal interpretation—not in all areas, by any means, but in the ones that count. I have come home to a Church that does not tolerate everything and does not apologize for that—but one that, get this, does not mistake tolerance for love and intolerance for hate. I have come home to a Church that is hierarchical in structure and teaching, one that privileges Scripture and Tradition over personal revelation, natural law over experiment, life in its messiness over temporal expediency, the common good over the individual entitlement, God's will over what I want. In a world of Anything Goes, I have come home to a Church that says No, It Doesn't.
I understand that this is, increasingly (and even for Catholics), few people's experience of religion. I am nowhere near, myself, the point of giving joyful, and not merely formal, assent of will and intellect to all of this. I will be in dialog with my Church for the rest of my life, and I look forward to that. It doesn't leave me much time, though, to engage in the kind of dialog with other traditions that many are asking for—a "dialog" in which, seemingly, I must defend my Church's teachings and my commitment to them, or apologize for them, or humbly submit to the judgment of others regarding the error of my ways. No disrespect intended, but I send my regrets. I can't pretend, even for the sake of interfaith conviviality, that I don't see the bright lines.
So, yes, politically incorrect as it is, I believe Catholicism is true and that its teachings are right. I'm not shopping around, waiting to hear a better deal. That belief of mine is in no way intended to oppress you, coerce you, belittle your beliefs, or even convince you of the rightness of mine. Apologist is not on my resume. If I blog on a topic on which my beliefs differ from yours, or even one in which I have lots more to learn about why my own Church teaches what it does—abortion, say, or marriage, or the male priesthood—or if I share my beliefs in a comment on one of your posts on these topics, I am not doing it to hurt you, or to hate you, or to exercise unjust privilege, or to be intolerant. I am not, on the other hand, inviting you to tell me what a crock my religion is and how much nicer, smarter, and freer I'd be if I just ditched this medieval nonsense.

"John...? John!"
John sighed and got up from his cup of tea. Round three. He'd already been in to Sherlock twice tonight. The first time he had no idea what Sherlock wanted, except that his legs had been tangled in the bedclothes. He'd been slurring incoherently, and could barely get the word John out.
The second time he'd got up, started ranting about Irene Adler and then collapsed face-first on the floor. John had thrown him back into bed and told him to sleep it off.
That had been twenty minutes ago. He'd been silent for most of those twenty minutes, and John had hoped fondly that that was going to be the end of it until he'd slept off the rest of the ketamine that Irene had given him. Bitch.
Sighing deeply, he opened the bedroom door. "What's wrong?"
Sherlock was sitting up again, his elbows on his knees and his palms pressed against his eyes. He took a deep breath.
"Gunna be sick."
If being a doctor - and an alcoholic's brother - had taught John anything, it was to never ignore anyone who claimed they were about to throw up. They'd warned him about a possible tsunami of vomiting when he and Lestrade had had Sherlock at the hospital earlier.
"Okay," he said. "Bucket's right here."
He handed him the bucket he'd placed by the bed just in case of such a scenario; Sherlock, still drug-fogged, looked up at him through his rampant curls. "Not throwing up in'bucket," he slurred, as if John had just instructed him to lick a toilet bowl.
"Yes, you are. You're not wandering around the flat while you're drugged up. Besides, this is a lot cleaner than the toilet - okay."
Sherlock had just thrown up in the bucket. John left him holding onto it with both hands while he went to the adjoining bathroom and found some tissues. He returned to find Sherlock going through a second round.
"Yeah, not pleasant," he said. "Take it easy." He handed him the tissues. When Sherlock hesitated, as if trying to think why on earth he'd need tissues, John wiped his nose and mouth for him. "If you're done, give me that and lie down again," he said. "The last thing you want is to sleep next to your own vomit. I'll bring you some water."
Sherlock relinquished the bucket and lay down obediently enough; John went to the bathroom to take care of it. When he brought the glass of water and the newly washed and disinfected bucket back, Sherlock seemed to have dozed off. As he went quietly for the door-handle, though, he spoke again.
"What is it?"
John frowned and turned to face him. Of all the things he could have anticipated Sherlock was about to say, 'Mycroft' wouldn't have been one of them. "What about him?" he asked. "Do you want me to call him?"
It was nearly one in the morning, but if Sherlock wanted Mycroft, John was more than prepared to call him then and there. Besides, it was Mycroft's fault that Sherlock was in this state in the first place. He could cope with being inconvenienced, even if it was a weeknight. Sherlock pulled himself upright again.
"I... about what he said..."
"Sherlock, just lie down and calm down, will you?" John went over and patiently started to disentangle Sherlock's legs from the sheets again. How you've managed to do this three times tonight is completely beyond me. "What he said when?"
"How would I know!"
John paused in honest confusion for a few seconds, thinking back to the last time they'd spoken with Mycroft - the meeting at the palace. How would Sherlock kn- oh. Oh, that. "What about it?"
"It was true."
"What was?"
Sherlock put his palm against his forehead, trying to reason this out in his drug-addled brain. "He said... wouldn't know 'f'sex 'larmed me..."
"Yeah, I kind of picked up that he called you a virgin there."
John watched Sherlock cringe - something he knew he wouldn't have done so openly, had he not been as high as a kite on ketamine.
"But then," he continued in upbeat tones, "it wasn't exactly news."
Sherlock still had his head in his hands. He took a deep breath.
"There's no need to be embarrassed about it, Sherlock."
"Says you."
John shrugged. Well, fair enough. He hadn't been a virgin since he'd been fifteen. If he was honest, he didn't think he knew any other men Sherlock's age who were virgins - but then, he'd never gone around asking. He sat down on the bed. "Hey, listen," he said, poking Sherlock's shoulder to get his attention. "Do you remember the conversation we had the night I moved in here?"
"About the shooting?"
John smiled. "I meant earlier that night. We went to Angelo's. I asked you if you had a girlfriend... or a boyfriend. You thought I was asking because I was... asking you out. But I said to you that it was all fine."
"You meant it was fine 'f I was gay."
"And it is fine if you're gay. It's also fine if you're a virgin... oh, come on, no. Let's not turn 'virgin' into a dirty word. As long as it's legal, I don't care who you have sex with- or don't have sex with. Okay? Quite frankly, you've got better things to be embarrassed about than that. It's fine. It's all fine." He got up. "If you need to vomit again, the bucket's right there. Drink your water and try to get some sleep, Sherlock. We'll have Mycroft here tomorrow... and a lot of explaining to do."
"Mycroft can piss off."
"My thoughts exactly. Goodnight."

Edgar Martinez was a .312 career hitter and played in the major leagues until he was 41 years old. As a 40-year-old in 2003, Martinez hit .294 in 145 games. He's beloved in Seattle and his career record, which includes a pair of batting titles with averages of .343 and .356, says he's a Hall of Fame hitter. Voters are debating as to whether Martinez's career spent primarily as a DH will get him to Cooperstown, but regardless, it's a path Boston's Kevin Youkilis should follow.
Martinez's major league career got off to a relatively late start. He wasn't in the Mariners' everyday lineup until 1990, when he was 27, the same age at which Youkilis became a permanent Red Sox regular in 2006. Martinez was Seattle's primary third baseman through the 1994 season. It was when he was made the regular DH in 1995, however, that he consistently began putting up Hall of Fame numbers.
Martinez played all 145 games in 1995 and led the American League with a .356 average, 52 doubles, 121 runs, a .479 OBP and 1.107 OPS. Martinez was 32 years old during that 1995 season. Youkilis just turned 32 in March. For six consecutive seasons beginning in 1995, during which Martinez started a total of just 30 games in the field, he was one of baseball's premier right-handed hitters. These were Martinez's average numbers during that run as Seattle's DH from 1995 through 2000:
Youkilis is the ultimate grinder. When Ty Cobb said, "I have observed that baseball is not unlike a war," he seemed to be describing Youkilis, who most times after games looks like he just stormed screaming across a Scottish glen with Mel Gibson in "Braveheart." From 2004 through the start of this week's games, Youkilis has averaged 4.32 pitches per plate appearance, third-most in baseball over that span behind only Jayson Werth's 4.46 and Bobby Abreu's 4.33. The toll of Youkilis' daily wars of attrition at the plate might be lessened by allowing him to make them his sole focus. During his sensational six-year run as Mariners' DH, Martinez averaged 649 plate appearances per season. Isn't Boston better off getting Youkilis 649 plate appearances per season for the next six years, and lessening the risk of injury?
Yes, Youkilis won a Gold Glove in 2007 when he started 124 games at first base and fielded 1080 chances without a single error. The Red Sox have committed to pay Adrian Gonzalez $154 million to play that position through 2018. While Youkilis is a solid and extremely steady defender at first, Gonzalez is a graceful artist. Youkilis' days at first base in Boston are over.
Now he's back at third base, his original big league spot. Through his first 30 games, Youkilis' defensive runs saved rating was minus-3, which puts him on a 135-game pace of minus-15. This is hardly an indictment of Youkilis' career defensive contributions. Martinez was Seattle's third baseman from 1990 through 1994 and played all but one full season during that span with a range factor per nine innings at or above the league average. After hamstring injuries in '93 and '94, the Mariners moved him to DH; now with Youkilis at the same point along a career timeline, it would work again.
Boston's future shortstop, Jose Iglesias, is already getting a sneak preview of the big leagues this week at age 21. Keith Law called Iglesias "the best defensive shortstop prospect I've ever seen." Iglesias' presumed arrival next season creates a need to shift Jed Lowrie, who has moved into the everyday shortstop role this year and hit .330/.364/.505 through his first 30 games. After being bounced around the infield, the switch-hitting Lowrie, at 27, could finally settle into a regular defensive home and develop his third-base skills in the mode of Bill Mueller.
I'm sure a player like Youkilis, who gives you absolutely everything he has every single day, does not want to become a full-time DH. However, it's a position that gave David Ortiz a career in Boston. Big Papi will be 36 years old after this season, will be a free agent, and likely won't merit the $12.5 million contract on which he's currently playing. When that DH spot opens up for good, Youkilis should embrace it as Edgar Martinez once did.

Unsafe spam phone calls and emails still doing the rounds
Lately, I have heard 2 common things from many customers. One is that they were checking
emails right before they got hit by a bad virus and/or spyware infection. The other is that they
received a phone call from Microsoft or some other computer company or antivirus company. In
some cases, the customer is who called for support, but in each of the instances above, you
accidentally just put your computer and information at risk to a hacker or virus!
When it comes to email, just assume its all a virus!!!! I don't mean that entirely, but some aspects
of email should no longer be trusted. You can read any email, that is safe enough. But from now
on, assume every single attachment and link to a website in an email is a virus.......NO MATTER
WHO SENT IT, EVEN YOUR WIFE OR BEST BUDDY! If their email is compromised, and
many accounts are, then they will send out link and attachments to their friends to infect them.
Your buddy isn't doing it, and usually doesn't know its happening. If you see this, inform them
they may be hacked or infected.
As for the phone calls. Beyond me calling a customer....no company can legally know if your
computer is infected beyond your service provider (i.e. cox, century link, etc) and they will usually
not know either. If they call claiming to be Microsoft, or some other company stating your
computer is infected, hang up, its a scam. Do NOT allow them access to your computer, just
hang up! Also be cautious that if you doing a Google, or Bing, or Yahoo search for a company
to call, that your aren't clicking on the top PAID SPONSORED results at the top of the page.
These are not the real companies in many cases, but spammers faking to be the real companies
in order to rob you!

Hyderabad: YS Jagan has been shifted late might to th NIMS super speciality hospital amidst high tense situation and security. On Day-6 when Jagan was shifted to Osmania Hospital from Cjanchalguda jail, he continued his indefinite fast even in the Hospital.
Prediction of threat to his kidneys and liver and high fever due to six day long fasting are reported to be the reasons for his shifting to NIMS hospital.
Jagan's sugar levels drastically dropped to 49 and his condition is said to be very critical at 8: 00 pm yesterday. The police shifted Jagan to NIMS and elaborate arrangements have been made at the emergency warden of the NIMS.
Doctors and police held a series of meetings to decide the future course of action in the event of Jagan's ill health.
After doctors declared that Jagan's health is critical, Y.S. Vijayamma, YS Bharathi and other family members rushed to the Osmania hospital to meet him. Police have tightened security around the hospital and not allowed anybody inside including Jagan's family members.
Jagan made it clear that he was willing to sacrifice his life, but will not call off his hunger strike. A health bulletin would be released by the NIMS Doctors at 9:00 am. As per the statement of the doctors, Jagan's health condition is critical and suggested him to call off the health strike.

Starting Help
We are racing in a small fleet of 6-7 boats with a wide starting line in which the boats are mostly causal fun racers.
The problem is that we have consisently had problems starting off the line with the fleet usually behind everyone at the start. Could anyone suggest some techniques that we could follow to get us off the line sooner.
One tip for beginners is stay close to the line before the start. If the wind goes light you don't get caught 5 minutes from the start. The downside is you are not always moving at speed when you cross but at least you are there at the start. One time we took a couple of practice runs at the line timing so that we would tack 90 secs before start and hit the line with speed. At about 90 secs to the start we tacked and the wind died. As a result we were very late crossing because we were not near the line when the race started.
Another suggestion that helps. Read the Rules! The two single most important are STbd/Port and Windward/Leeward. With an understanding of these basic rules you will be less afraid to be near the line with the other boats at the start and will be with the fleet at the start. Most boats I see that consistently trail at the start do so because they hang back to avoid the scrum prior to the start and are therefore late. Hanging back always makes you late.
The best skippers I know hit the line at speed heading in the right direction. Less experienced skippers are afraid to try this because they might be early with a spinnaker or pole set, etc... Intermediate skippers like to prowl up and down the line and then tack over at the gun. Running down the line on a stbd tack gives you some room for a timing error and then if preferred tack is port tack you can tack at the gun. Is less fast than hitting line at speed on preferred tack but gets you to the line on time. Inexperienced skippers just hang back and are late.
Race more and race often. Bring an experienced racer aboard once in a while and you will learn faster.
Full Tilt 2
We keep close to the line, if it looks like we are going to be early we start doing hard S turns which is pull the tiller hard and bring the boat down 30-40 degree's and then push back up hard moving the boat up 60-80 degree's and then finally pull back moving down again 30-40 degree's (provided you have room). This puts you back on course and kills alot of speed and with luffing your sails it might save you from a early start :)
With only 7 boats and a wide line, sounds like the problem is just timing, not tactics. To keep it way simple, reach away from the actual line on port for not quite half the remaining time, allow 20 seconds (or whatever, depending on the boat and breeze) to tack, then reach back, luff at about 30 seconds left if you're early, keep on truckin' if you're on time, harden up to close hauled, and go for the gun. Boats that want the buoy/pin end, tack first; those wanting the committee boat end, tack later.
This is the old-fashioned Vanderbilt start. In small fleets, on a big line, it still works as well as it did 130 years ago. Sounds like you have enough room for all boats to be on the line, moving, on time, and in clear air, if they'll pay attention to the clock.
If timing and strategy were simple, everyone would win every start.<G> Actually sometimes you will see some marvelous (ahem) starts when five or six large boats all try to be in the exact same place at the exact same time. Marvelous if you're not paying the repair bills!<G>
You might try getting the book by Dave Perry on understanding the racing rules, he goes into far more than just what the rules are. And there's another classic that I can't remember the name of...a comb-bound book that is all about strategies and especially starts...someone Black or Blackstone? (Anyone else remember which one this is?) that's also been out and revised over the past 20 years or so.
There are many strategies, many options, that's why I'd say to get the books and read them in detail.
If there are 1 or 2 boats you can't outrun and you are forced to their leeward side get the hell outa there ASAP or your gona get demolished with bad air. Half your race is on that start line.
Hellosailor was probably thinking of Bill Gladstone's North U books -- "Trim" and "Tactics". You can get them by calling your nearest North Sails loft or from most marine retailers on the net (apsltd.com, defender.com, westmarine, etc.). You shouldn't have any trouble finding them, but if you do or if you have further questions or want training info, you could call Francine at North Sails; her address is

(take away the extra spaces; I put them in to combat any lurking spambots)
Bill Gladstone, YES. Although, his books predate North U, he had self-published a comb-bound book over an inch thick and worth every cent of it, going back 20 years now. I think it is still available, I've seen it advertised online.

|Ferocious: An artist's impression of the dinosaur, identified from recent fossils found in China, which experts believe was the cousin of the T-Rex
Scientists have identified a dinosaur they are describing as 'T-Rex's cousin' from fossils dug up in China.
The gigantic creature roamed North America and east Asia between about 65million and 99million years ago.
Researchers led by Dr David Hone, from University College Dublin, discovered fragments of fossils from the meat eater in a so-called dinosaur quarry in the eastern Chinese province of Shandong.
Known as a theropod because it walks on its two hind legs, the dinosaur is said to be a close relative of T-Rex.
It was identified from skull, jaw bone and pieces of teeth. Based on their size it measured about 11m long, stood about 4m tall and weighed close to six tonnes.
Dr Hone, from UCD's school of biology and environmental science, spent three years at the Shandong site before joining the Dublin college.
'It's another big T-Rex and these things don't turn up every day. It's one of the biggest predators of all time,' he said.
'It's the first super-gigantic T-Rex relative discovered in quite a long time. It would be top of the food chain because it would be the biggest thing out there feeding but there are a couple of others out there the same size.'
T-Rex's cousin had a 1m-long skull and rounded, chisel-like, bone-crushing teeth 9cm long.
|Sharp: The jaw bone and teeth of the new dinosaur, right, are slightly smaller than those of the T-Rex, left, but scientists still believe the two creatures were closely related
Dr Hone said: 'With only some skull and jaw bones to work with, it is difficult to precisely gauge the overall size of this animal.
'But the bones we have are just a few centimetres smaller than the equivalent ones in the largest T-Rex specimen. So there is no doubt that Zhuchengtyrannus was a huge tyrannosaurine.'
'We named the new genus Zhuchengtyrannus magnus, which means the Tyrant from Zhucheng, because the bones were found in the city of Zhucheng, in eastern China's Shandong province.'
The research paper was published in Cretaceous Research in the online journal Science Direct.
Another T-Rex-related dinosaur of similar size has been found in the quarry area, the fossils of which are still being analysed.
|Comparison: Researches said that the T-Rex's cousin roamed North America and east Asia about 65 to 99 million years ago. Here, fragments of the jaw bone are shown
The Shandong quarry is home to one of the largest concentrations of dinosaur bones in the world.
Research suggests the area contains so many dinosaur fossils because it was a large flood plain where many dinosaur bodies were washed together during floods and fossilised.(dailymail.co.uk)

A MEANINGFUL & SUCCESSFUL LIFEMature
this not a story but just an article. it just about you & me. say we all youngsters. its all about what life you are leading.
Life of a human being, as said to be given to those who had done some good deeds in the past life, is really precious.
Thus, it has to be spent in a good or say a right way. You are the leader of your life itself. It is in your hand, where you are leading your life towards?
Life is a gift given by God to every person, but the real person is one who knows how to make that life different from that of others & convert it into a meaningful one.
From the starting i.e. birth to the death i.e. death, our life is not actually led by us. It bound in the rules, systems, policies & principles made by either the society or by the government or something. In the home itself we have to follow the values.
Every individual's life starts with the cradle, then goes on from school, college, higher studies respectively. Then he/ she is given some major responsibilities that begin from establishing themselves, marrying, and then having kids, providing them with every possible happiness, facilities & education as well. Soon the kids no longer remain kids & get settled. We grow older & dependent on others. And that's how our life ends lying on bed for no desire to live.
So, what we did different? What we did for ourselves? What did for anybody? It's just the customs & principles that we followed!
The power of knowledge is said to be the greatest power. But what does it is for if we can't forward this knowledge to anybody? What it is for if we just waste our whole life in handling the house chores only? Does that remain important if we don't utilize it in a right direction?
You have lots of degrees in your hand & have a good salary in your pocket, but it is all waste if you can't help somebody, nobody knows you except your family & locality.
No prizes for guessing the answer!!
Don't live just because you have to. Live for fulfilling your dreams, live for a goal, live for yourself & devote your live for the good to everyone. Make people know you for your deeds, for your way of living & for your style. Don't run behind anyone, make the world follow you. Be a leader, be your own ideal. Live a different, successful, meaningful life & a life to feel proud of.

Sam's Club, U.S. Chamber of Commerce pair up to aid small businesses
May 12, 2009,
Bentonville, Ark. - Wal-Mart 's warehouse club division Sam's Club has partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for a joint member benefits program aimed at broadening both organizations' abilities to be advocates for small businesses.
"The face of small business is evolving as is the role of large corporations and government to bring about health care reform, tax, energy and other policy solutions," Brian Cornell, Sam's Club president and ceo, said in his remarks during the U.S. Chamber Blue Ribbon Small Business Awards luncheon that honored the nation's top small business owners.
As part of the two-year agreement, Sam's Club will help to sponsor more than a dozen small business events with local chamber offices. The intention is to make resources and best practices available to small business owners and operators.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce members will receive a $10 gift card and complimentary cost comparison by Sam's Club. Chamber members who join or renew their business membership at Sam's Club will receive a $10 gift card toward a purchase in-club or online.
Additionally, Sam's Club will launch a cost savings toolkit on the Chamber's website to help small businesses manage costs and will sponsor the U.S. Chamber Small Business of the Year Award. More than half of this year's winners are Sam's Club Business Members.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has appointed Catherine Corley, vp, small business insights and marketing at Sam's Club, to the U.S. Chamber Council of Small Business.
Sam's Club estimates more than 600,000 small business owners or their employees walk through its doors everyday.

Southern Soul Barbeque
This BBQ joint has put St. Simons on the culinary map, not only earning noteworthy applause from Garden and Gun Magazine and Southern Living, but also landing spots on TLC's "BBQ Pitmasters" and Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." Fame hasn't changed the way owners Giffin Bufkin and Harrison Sapp have always made good food: slow, steady, and in full southern style. Their rubs are made from scratch daily, they bottle their own sauces and they cook in an outdoor pit using only wood. Pulled pork and sweet ribs coated in brown sugar and tupelo honey rank among the favorites, but the Brunswick stew, homemade pimento cheese and smoked chicken salad can't be overlooked. Meat and three? Yes, please.
This restaurant seamlessly blends laid-back island environment with upscale food. Owner and Executive Chef Dave Snyder consistently impresses guests with creative dishes thoughtfully—and locally—sourced. Chef Snyder recognizes that Georgia is home to some of the best family-owned farms and dairies, and with an entire ocean at his front door, his food brings new meaning to fresh and farm-to-table. The wild Georgia shrimp and grits is a must-have, and there's a good reason why the recipe for the creamy blue crab bisque has remained the same for decades: if it ain't broke...
Palmer's Village Café
"The place" for breakfast, this local hot-spot, inconspicuously nestled in the The Village and tucked behind unassuming wooden doors, is home to five-star Chef John "JB" Belechak and his mind-blowing culinary creations. But it's entirely without pretension. The playful menu features everything from poached eggs over collard greens and house-made tomato jam to what's known as The Local (aka "The Islander"), an artistically designed egg white tri-fold with avocado, cheese and bacon served with seared tomatoes and arugula topped with cucumber ribbons. Yes, ribbons. Breakfast is so popular here, it's served all day. But Chef JB—whose resume includes Blackberry Farm and The Cloister at Sea Island—offers an entirely new dinner menu every week based on what's in season from local and regional farmers. You know, to keep things fresh.
Palm Coast Coffee, Cafe and Pub
As the name indicates, this unassuming little yellow house has it all. In addition to being an authentic island coffee house offering homemade sweets and an open mic, Palm Coast transforms every weekend into one of the island's most popular outdoor music venues for local and regional talent. The outdoor patio and courtyard is pet-friendly and home to a few Palm Coast fur babies itself. An affordable menu (the most expensive being the popular seared Ahi tuna wrap for a mere $13) and an extensive and constantly evolving craft-brew menu keeps customers coming back for more.
4-Hour Music Fest
For four years running, Palm Coast Coffee, Cafe and Pub has played host to four hours of non-stop rocking revelry at this intimate musical celebration on Labor Day weekend. From 8 p.m. until midnight, audiences fill the outdoor courtyard and patio, tossing back craft brews and cocktails, and keeping time with the tunes from local and regional talent. Seven bands play everything from Celtic folk to acoustic rock, delighting concert goers with an authentic, grassroots music festival—for nothing more than a cover charge.
A Little Light Music
Each year the Coastal Georgia Historical Society releases the lineup for its summer concert series, A Little Light Music. The season runs May-September, so it's easy to catch any one of the concerts that fall on select Sundays each month. Taking place on the seaside lawn of the historic St. Simons Lighthouse, musicians from around country entertain crowds from the outdoor gazebo with classic rock, Motown, blues and more, depending on the day. Concert goers are encouraged to bring their own beach chairs and blankets to beat the evening breeze, as well as pack picnics and libations for an easy-going experience for the whole family.
Sounds by the Sea
Rounding out the calendar of summertime music-going experiences is this summer concert series presented by the Golden Isles Arts & Humanities. On alternate Sundays of A Little Light Music, Sounds by the Sea takes place on the expansive lawn (the "casino") of St. Simons' most popular ocean-side park, Neptune Park. Concert goers spread out their beach chairs and coolers under the live oaks to enjoy any one of the five concerts specifically scheduled during high tide for a bug-free evening of music with a welcoming ocean breeze.
Local Talent Phil Morrison
A bevy of skilled musicians continue to breathe life into the Island's live-music scene. These talents include none other than bassist/songwriter Phil Morrison. Known best as a member of the late '60s and '70s electric jazz group Stark Reality, Morrison has also played with the great Dizzy Gillespie and Freddy Cole (Nat's youngest brother). As both a world-class musician and a Golden Isles resident, he and his jazz ensemble are a crowd favorite and often headline the island's summer concerts. Morrison even wrote the official song of the Golden Isles, "Take me to the coast of Georgia."
St. Simons Food and Spirits Festival
For five days during the first week of October, the Food and Spirits Festival transforms the island into a non-stop drinking and dining extravaganza that showcases the area's top culinary talents. The main event, Tastings Under the Oak, which offers hundreds of food and drink tastings, takes place in the historic—and breathtakingly scenic—Gascoigne Bluff Park. Festival goers enjoy dozens of additional events across the Golden Isles like the Chef Showdown, Farmers and Artisans Market, oyster roast and even a Kids Zone. In its fourth year, the festival is quickly becoming a culinary destination event.

Blue pages
|This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Blue pages are a telephone directory listing of American and Canadian state agencies, government agencies, federal government and other official entities, along with specific offices, departments, or bureaus located wherein.
Canadian yellow-page listings currently indicate "Government Of Canada-See Government Listings In The Blue Pages"; in markets where the local telephone directory is a single volume, the blue pages and community information normally appear after the alphabetical white-page listings but before the yellow pages advertising. The blue page listings include both provincial and federal entities.[citation needed]
United States[edit]
In the United States, the blue pages included state, federal, and local offices, including service districts such as school districts, port authorities, public utility providers, parks districts, fire districts, and the like. The blue pages also provided information about government services, in addition to officials' names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other contact information. The color blue is likely derived from so-called government blue books, official publications printed by a government (such as that of a state) describing its organization, and providing a list of contact information. (The blue pages published in a printed telephone directory is usually quite abridged, compared to official blue books).
The name "blue pages" has been used for various specialised directories by private-sector entities such as the internal IBM Staff directory.
