Boot to BT and post your results of fdisk -l here.
It's probably just that you have the wrong hd setup for your xp hard drive. Have you tried (hd2,0) or (hd1,1)?

Okay, so I am really having a hard time with configuring DUAL BOOT for Backtrack and Windows XP. Each are installed on its own physical hard drive (Both IDE). Windows XP is installed on MAXTOR 6L020J1-(PM). While Backtrack is installed in WDC AC310000D- (SS) <--western digital HDD. I set the first boot as WDC AC310000D-(SS) which is where Backtrack is installed in order to gain access to GRUB Boot Menu. Because I want to be able to choose which operating system I want to boot from the Menu's list. But I can't get it to work. The current configuration are shown on those image links above. I have the MAXTOR HDD set has (hd1,0) which is correct (i think) because it displays the "Starting Up" screen before it loads the Windows XP startup logo. But the problem is that the "starting up" screen just hangs there and does not load anything after that. Not sure what the problem is.
If anyone who is good at GRUB, please lead me to the way to the land of solutions, where the water is clear and the sky is blue, and where Linux, Apple, Windows hold hands.

Yes I have, tried different variations, hd1,0, hd1,1, hd2,0, hd2,1, hd2,2, hd3,0, hd3,1, etc..well you get my point. All the rest just say invalid partition or device not found when trying to get it booted, the only thing that boots to the "starting up" screen is hd1,0. I am not at that computer right now but I will fdisk and show what it looks like on the screen tomorrow.
I'm not sure if its the case here but i have read before that xp is notorious for not wanting to boot from a secondary drive

map (hd0) (hd1)

for grub file and edit the hard drive based on the drive your fstab shows your hard drive and partition number is for xp
The 20.5GB disk is where windows XP is installed, and the 10GB disk is where Backtrack is installed.
I will test out what rizler suggested and see what happens.
I tried the above u suggested, and it says "no such partition" when booting to windows xp.

From you image then should be (hd0,0) is your windows
therefore you do not need the map commands
in linux if you didnt know most things as far as i recall start at 0 not 1
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
basically those map commands are saying take the 1st primary and make it secondary and secondary to primary then the (hd0,0) says hard drive 0 and partition 0
you can tell which hard disk it is by the hd[a-h] states its a ide drive and the letter corresponds to the hard disk 0 - ... and then the number after that is the partition.
hopefully that works out for you and if that doesn't work just modify for the second hard disk which i don't believe is your windows install as its so tiny and the 3 definitely looks like the linux install as you setup various partitions for swap etc if you install
My guess would be that your XP MBR is broken.
Unplug the linux drive and try to boot it. If it doesn't work you may want to fixboot and fixmbr while the linux drive is unplugged. Usually it kicks out an error but this time it may not have because grub is the bootloader.
"invalid or unsupported executable format" error
I get this error , I don't know what to do in order to get this to work............... :-(

Consensus top-six welterweights will square off for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Ex-contender Josh Koscheck and Johny Hendricks will fight on May 5 in East Rutherford, N.J, UFC announced Sunday. The event's main card, headlined by lightweight Nate Diaz vs. Jim Miller, will air on Fox.
Their fight could have title implications. The USA TODAY/SB Nation consensus rankings rate Koscheck and Hendricks at Nos. 5 and 6 for welterweights. Only UFC titleholder Georges St. Pierre, Nick Diaz, Jake Ellenberger and interim champion Carlos Condit are ranked higher.
St. Pierre is rehabilitating an injured knee. Condit defeated Diaz last week. Ellenberger will face No. 12 Diego Sanchez on Wednesday in Omaha.
Hendricks and Koscheck are coming off victories. Hendricks recorded a 12-second knockout of Koscheck's friend and former teammate Jon Fitch in December. Koscheck edged out a split decision against unranked Mike Pierce last week.

Northern Indiana man seeks to overturn 60-year sentence
A northern Indiana man sentenced to 60 years in prison in his ex-girlfriend's murder is seeking to overturn his conviction and sentence.
The Times of Munster reports a public defender for 20-year-old Dustin McCowan of Wheeler filed a motion to correct errors Thursday in Porter Superior Court.
Attorney Mitch Peters says the motion is a prerequisite for appeal when addressing newly discovered evidence that could not have been discovered at the time of trial.
He contends the judge who oversaw McCowan's murder trial in the 2011 murder of 19-year-old Amanda Bach of Portage should have recused himself from the trial after learning McCowan made derogatory and threatening remarks about the judge during a telephone call from jail.
McCowan was convicted of murder in February in Bach's fatal shooting.

Judicial vacancies in our federal courts are reaching historic highs. There are currently 104 vacancies on federal district and circuit courts, forty-nine of which are determined to be judicial emergencies by the non-partisan Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, which means there are simply not enough judges on the bench to do the work of the district or the circuit. This means justice and fairness is delayed-and often denied- for those in need, from working mothers seeking timely compensation for their employment discrimination claims to communities hoping for swift injunction of corporate environmental polluters to small business owners seeking protection from unfair and anti-competitive practices.
The Department Of Justice's Office Of Legal Policy Estimates That One-Half Of The Federal Bench Will Be Empty Within 10 Years If Confirmation Rates Do Not Improve.With each new vacancy, more and more Americans will wait years for the most basic opportunity to seek justice. Even today, the average civil litigant must wait nearly two years for a jury trial, and this wait grows even longer if their case is appealed.[Center for American Progress, 1/3/11]
Litigants Are Being Forced To Wait Months And Years Before Their Cases Are Heard. In 2009, for civil litigants with trials, the average median time from filing to trial was over 2 years (25.3 months). As judicial vacancies have been rising, so too have the delays for litigants. [Administration Office of the U.S. Courts, Judicial Caseload Profile, 2009]
- Columnist: Americans "Ought To Be Livid" By Long Delays For A Fair Trial. One columnist recently wrote of the judicial vacancy crisis, "Those who ought to be livid are ordinary citizens for whom justice delayed is indeed justice denied. Criminal defendants are guaranteed a speedy trial, but long lines of civil cases waiting for a trial date only get longer" [Seattle Times, 9/30/10]
Federal Court Caseloads Are Growing While Judicial Vacancies Persist. "In 2010, nearly all major areas of the federal judiciary had larger caseloads. Filings of bankruptcy petitions climbed 14% to nearly 1.6 million. Filings in the U.S. district courts grew 2% to 361,323 in response to a 2% increase in civil case filings (totaling 282,895) and criminal case filings (totaling 78,428)… Civil filings in the U.S. district courts rose 2%, increasing by 6,498 cases to 282,895… Filings of petitions for bankruptcy totaled 1,596,355, a 14% increase over the previous year's filings and the highest number received since 2005." [2010 Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary, 12/31/10]
In 111th Congress, Average Circuit Court Nominee Waiting 163 Days for Consideration. In the last Congress, the Senate's average consideration of a district court judge took 104 days, while the average circuit court nominee took 163 days. [People for the American Way, 1/25/11]
USA TODAY: Judicial Delays Impact Businesses, Environmental Disputes. In 2010, USA Today reported, "There are consequences to the judicial delays. The overwhelming majority of federal civil and criminal cases end in lower courts and never reach the Supreme Court. That means judges at these trial and appeals court levels shape much of the nation's law — from business concerns to environmental disputes to gay rights." [USA Today, 6/16/10]
"If You Can't Get Into a Courtroom… Justice Suffers." "It stands to reason that if you can't get into a courtroom, if the docket is too packed for your case to be heard promptly, or if the judge lacks sufficient time to address the issues raised, justice suffers. This will directly affect thousands of ordinary Americans—plaintiffs and defendants—whose liberty, safety, or job may be at stake and for whom justice may arrive too late, if at all. In some jurisdictions, civil litigants may well wait two to three years before going to trial." [Slate, 9/27/10]
Judges and Officials from Both Parties Recognize the Impact of the Vacancy Crisis
GOP Judges: Senate Must Fill Vacancies To Help Deal With Immigration, Drug & Bankruptcy Cases. In November 2010, seven Republican-appointed federal judges from the largest federal circuit in the country, representing 9 western states, signed a letter urging the Senate to take action on judicial vacancies. They wrote that their case-load "is heavily impacted by increased immigration enforcement, drug interdiction activities, prison litigation, bankruptcy and environmental cases… In order to do our work, and serve the public as Congress expects us to serve it, we need the resources to carry out our mission. While there are many areas of serious need, we write today to emphasize our desperate need for judges." [U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit Letter, 11/15/10]
Chief Justice John Roberts: Judicial Vacancies Create "Acute Difficulties." In his 2010 year-end report, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the problem of judicial vacancies "has created acute difficulties for some judicial districts. Sitting judges in those districts have been burdened with extraordinary caseloads." [2010 Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary, 12/31/10]
Career Federal Prosecutors: Courts "Cannot Function Effectively" With Judicial Vacancies.The National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys, a group of career Federal prosecutors, wrote to Senate leaders in December 2010 saying that, "Our federal courts cannot function effectively when judicial vacancies restrain the ability to render swift and sure justice." [Sen. Leahy Statement, 2/2/11]
U.S. Attorney General: "Men And Women Who Need Their Day In Court Must Stand In Longer And Longer Lines."U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder wrote in 2010, "Last year, 259,000 civil cases and 75,000 criminal cases were filed in the federal courts, enough to tax the abilities of the judiciary even when it is fully staffed. But today there are 103 judicial vacancies — nearly one in eight seats on the bench. Men and women who need their day in court must stand in longer and longer lines. The problem is about to get worse. Because of projected retirements and other demographic changes, the number of annual new vacancies in the next decade will be 33 percent greater than in the past three decades. If the historic pace of Senate confirmations continues, one third of the federal judiciary will be vacant by 2020. If we stay on the pace that the Senate has set in the past two years — the slowest pace of confirmations in history — fully half the federal judiciary will be vacant by 2020. As Justice Anthony Kennedy recently noted, the "rule of law is imperiled" if these important judicial vacancies remain unfilled." [Washington Post, 9/28/10]
American Bar Association: During Judicial Vacancy Crisis, "Civil Proceedings Are Put Off." In July 2010, ABA President Carolyn B. Lamm said, "Our courts are already terribly strained at the federal level because of the caseload and the workload, and when you're a hundred justices down…that's a big gap. We have speedy trial rules that require them to put criminal cases first. As a result, all of the civil proceedings are put off and there is a real gap in terms of a significant delay as a result of the vacancies. It is edging toward a crisis not to have a full bench." [ABA, 7/12/10]
Examples of Courts in Crisis, and Their Impact on American Families and Communities
In Texas, Drug Cases "Continue Piling Up" While Key Posts Remain Vacant. "Cases in the Western District of Texas, which includes San Antonio and Del Rio, have been climbing steadily in recent years. In fiscal 2001, some 7,423 cases were filed, but in fiscal 2010 the district recorded 10,495 new case filings. The increase in the Western District, which stretches along the U.S.-Mexico border all the way to El Paso, where drug trafficking is heavy, has been fueled largely by criminal cases. Last year, 7,491 new criminal cases were filed, compared with 4,161 in 2001. The district has two vacant federal district court posts, including one in San Antonio and another in El Paso. Overall, Texas has seven federal judicial vacancies… Meanwhile, new drug cases continue piling up in districts along the border." [San Antonio Express-News, 1/7/11]
In Colorado, Vacancies Impact Businesses Waiting for Civil Rulings, As Well as Rural and Tribal Communities. Describing judicial vacancies in Colorado last year, Sen. Mark Udall said, "Judicial understaffing in Colorado has a real impact on the residents and businesses in our state. As the caseload increases for each judge, more and more time must be devoted to criminal cases – this is because of the Constitutional guarantee of a speedy trial. But as time and energy shifts to clearing the criminal docket, the civil docket suffers. It continues to become increasingly difficult to schedule a trial in Colorado as the backup grows longer. This increased caseload has a significant impact on our rural and tribal communities around the state as well." [Udall Press Release, 7/29/10]

Although incredibly rewarding, rearing a child can be one of the most challenging tasks on earth. As a single parent, those challenges increase. But with God's help and wisdom from His Word, you can be the parent He's called you to be!
If you've ever thought you weren't a good enough parent, maybe you just need to change what you think and say about yourself!
1. When girls become teens, single dads need to stay connected emotionally and talk about the things their daughter wants to talk about…getting involved in their world.
2. If you're a dad raising a daughter or a mom raising a son, the child may need a same-gender mentor in his/her life. Pray for divine connections for a mentor for them.
3. Let the child know that God will make up for the other parent not being there.
4. If you're a single parent because of a broken marriage, and you're even partly responsible for the divorce, don't carry around the guilt. Go to God for forgiveness. Otherwise, it could negatively affect your child.
5. You don't have to try to pay your children back for the loss that they feel that they have. Trust God to give you grace to give the child what he/she needs.
6. Be careful not to give them too much freedom or buy them every single thing they want. Don't let the other parent's absence cause you to withhold discipline.
7. Supervise your children and stay involved in their life.
8. Do things together instead of just sitting them in front of the TV or computer. If you feel like you don't have a lot of time to spend with them because of things you have to do around the house, include them in these tasks.
9. Find a support group of people, either from your church or a couple of friends, who can act as a sounding board for you when you need encouragement or help.
10. It's important to have dual parent friends as well. Don't just have single parent friends.
11. Make taking care of yourself a priority—eat properly, exercise, sleep properly. It's not a selfish thing: If you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to take care of anyone else.
12. Balance work and family life by continually straightening out your priorities. This builds emotional support for the child.
13. Have more realistic expectations of yourself: you can't expect to be the ideal homemaker, cook, housekeeper, etc.
14. You don't have to make decisions by yourself. God is with you! Learn to follow your heart and believe that you're up to the task in front of you. And don't be afraid to make mistakes.
15. And most of all, remember: You don't have to be both parents – God will make up for what's missing!
"Tips for Single Parents" is taken from Joyce's Enjoying Everyday Life, featuring special guest Dr. Linda Mintle.
[Your child's name] reverently fears the Lord, and keep all His statutes and His commandments...they love the Lord their God with all their [mind and] heart and with their entire being and with all their might. (From Deuteronomy 6:2,5)
[Your child's name] loves to pray and study the Word. They correctly analyze the Word of Truth. (From 2 Timothy 2:15)
[Your child's name] has a teachable spirit. (From Proverbs 14:16)
I do not exasperate my children; instead, I bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. (From Ephesians 6:4 NIV)
Jeremiah 31:25
For I will [fully] satisfy the weary soul, and I will replenish ever languishing and sorrowful person.
Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
Isaiah 14:27
For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me?
Proverbs 3:5-6
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Isaiah 43: 1-2
But now [in spite of past judgments for Israel's sins], thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.

Smith helps Dash even Mills Cup Finals01/22/2013 12:54 PM ET
John Parker / MLB.com
According to Kevan Smith, the Winston-Salem Dash got their second wake-up call of the postseason.
Smith slugged a two-out two-run homer in the sixth inning Sunday as Winston-Salem rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Lynchburg Hillcats, evening the best-of-5 Mills Cup Finals at one win apiece.
At 87-51 during the regular season, the Dash posted the best record among all full-season Minor League clubs, but they haven't made it easy for themselves in the playoffs. Winston-Salem dropped Game 1 of the best-of-3 Carolina League semifinals against Myrtle Beach before fighting back to win Games 2 and 3, then fell to Lynchburg on Saturday in Game 1 of the Championship Series.
"We've got a great team, a great lineup here," said Smith, who's tied for the league lead with two homers and six RBIs in four playoff games. "One through nine, anyone can hit a homer at any time.
"Losing that first game to Myrtle [Beach] kind of shocked us and woke us up, and the same thing after losing to Lynchburg yesterday. But we've stepped up. [The playoffs] is what you train for, what you play for all season."
The White Sox's Class A Advanced affiliate got on the board first when Chris Curley singled with one out in the third, stole second, took third on Keenyn Walker's base hit and scored when first baseman Chris Garcia dropped a pickoff attempt. The error gave the Dash their first lead of the series.
The Hillcats came right back in the fourth, converting a walk, a hitter, an error and two singles into three runs -- two of them earned -- off Winston-Salem starter Justin Collop.
The Dash responded with three runs in the sixth as Walker doubled and scored before Smith hit his second postseason blast to make it 4-3. Marcus Semien, the White Sox's No. 19 prospect, added a key insurance run with a two-out solo homer in the eighth.
Winston-Salem called on closer Taylor Thompson to get a six-out save, something he'd done only twice in 33 regular-season appearances. The 25-year-old right-hander worked around a one-out single in the eighth but ran into trouble in the ninth, issuing a leadoff walk to Dan Brewer.
Rehabbing Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons, who homered in Game 1 and doubled in the seventh inning on Sunday, came up with two outs and sent a line drive to the left-center gap, scoring Brewer from first and cutting the margin to 5-4. With the tying run on second, Thompson got Nick Ahmed to ground out, nailing down his second playoff save.
"It's exciting to have [Simmons] here, it really puts things into perspective," Smith said. "For some of us, this is our first full season, and here we are playing against big leaguers."
Smith is 5-for-10 in the postseason. Walker, Winston-Salem's leadoff man, was 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored. He also committed an error and was caught stealing.
Reliever Kevin Vance improved to 2-0 in the postseason after tossing 1 2/3 scoreless innings. He gave up two hits and fanned one.
Matt Chaffee (0-1) took the loss after allowing two runs on two hits while striking out five over two innings.
The Dash closed out their 2012 campaign at BB&T Ballpark with a 51-25 record, including the playoffs.
Seeking its second title in four years, Lynchburg hosts the rest of the series, with Game 3 set for Tuesday.

Available in delicious Original, Chocolate Orange, Tropical Mango, and Pineapple Banana flavors. Frequently Asked Questions What makes Metagenics different from most nutritional supplement companies? A lot of things make Metagenics stand above other companies-a focus on patient health, quality manufacturing, ingredient testing, safety reviews, clinical testing, scientific research, unique formulas, and more. Who would benefit from UltraInflamX Plus 360° Medical Food? People whose quality of life is affected by IBD (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) and associated chronic inflammation and pain. This formula may offer an advantage for extraintestinal pain and inflammation. How does UltraInflamX Plus 360° Medical Food work? This product provides targeted, research-based nutrients to modulate inflammatory and pain processes associated with IBD-with an excellent predicted safety profile. It contains a combination of plant-based ingredients that are designed to work with your body (not against it) to inhibit triggers for inflammation and pain without interfering with health functioning. An unhealthy diet (highly processed foods, low nutrients) and common food sensitivities may also influence gastrointestinal health, inflammation, and related symptoms. This product is recommended for use with a modified elimination diet-a healthful balance that limits consumption of foods with increased allergen potential and reduces dietary chemical exposure. How does UltraInflamX Plus 360° Medical Food compare to other products or approaches? A frequent target pathway to influence the inflammatory response in IBD management is the immune system. This product contains ingredients that uniquely and gently address underlying activities associated with chronic inflammatory pain-without immune suppression and with an excellent predicted safety profile. The rice protein base has a lower allergenic potential than many common protein sources, which (along with careful formulation and manufacturing) helps make this product suitable for use with an eating plan to reduce potential GI stressors and inflammatory triggers. This product contains only natural ingredients for a safer long-term approach, and has been clinically reviewed at the FMRC. How long is UltraInflamX Plus 360° Medical Food typically recommended? A typical introductory program is 25 days (with a modified elimination diet) to evaluate progress. Some people may report positive changes in just a few weeks, but individual results may vary. This product may also be recommended for long-term support. For best results, follow your health care professional's guidelines. Why is UltraInflamX Plus 360° Medical Food safe? Medical foods must contain ingredients that are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) or FDA approved, and Metagenics continually evaluates formula ingredients in concert with current nutritional research for optimal safety and effectiveness. Plus, Metagenics' manufacturing facility has 3 certifications for good manufacturing practices to ensure the highest quality. Key active ingredients in this formula were developed through the ExpresSyn Process that sets a new standard in clinical certainty for natural products via demonstrated efficacy, bioavailability, and a high level of predicted safety. (This product is not recommended for those taking anti-coagulant medications. UltraInflamX Medical Food may be an excellent alternative. This product is suitable for those who may be sensitive to lactose or soy. About Metagenics Today, chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease have become so common that most people don't remember what it's like to be in excellent health. And if they're not feeling their best, they can't be their best. In truth, many chronic health conditions are preventable. They're the result of years of poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and prolonged exposure to stress. And leading health organizations now tell us that by returning to a healthier lifestyle-by getting the right nutrients, becoming active, and learning to manage the stressors in life-many of these conditions can be prevented, managed, or even reversed. The solution seems so simple, and yet, the incidence of chronic illness is continuing to rise at an alarming rate. At Metagenics, they're aiming to change all that. Addressing Chronic Illness with Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes Their groundbreaking therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) programs have helped tens of thousands of chronic illness sufferers all over the world regain their health-so they can once again enjoy their lives to the fullest. Not quick, short term fixes, these programs work because they're focused on helping people develop healthy, life-long habits that they can easily incorporate into their busy schedules. Their TLC programs are available only from specially trained licensed health care professionals-the people qualified to recommend and tailor a regimen that's unique to each individual's needs. Patient Success Depends on Provider Success Let's face it. Most doctors' offices have neither the time nor the expertise to provide the individualized lifestyle counseling that's necessary to effect real change. In designing their TLC program, they asked health care providers to tell us what it would take to implement TLC successfully in their practice. The answer was teamwork-getting support staff involved, enlisting practice extenders and ensuring smooth office flow. Today, providers who implement their TLC programs overwhelmingly report that they're busier and more successful than ever in helping patients achieve their desired health outcomes. Addressing the Root Cause of Illness through Science-Based Nutrition Back in 1983, they had a big idea: the right nutrition could help people realize their best health possible by positively influencing what makes them unique-their genes. They called it realizing "genetic potential" for good health. Today, it's known as the science of nutrigenomics-the study of food as one of the most important environmental modifiers of gene expression in determining health and disease patterns. Through their substantial and ongoing commitment to nutrigenomic research, they've been able to identify natural compounds with powerful therapeutic applications, to be used in their science-based TLC programs, medical foods, and nutraceuticals. Setting the Standard in Research, Quality & Innovation Knowing that professionals rely on us to make people feel better isn't something they take lightly. It's the reason they lead the industry in research, professional education, and quality manufacturing. But they're also brave enough to search for the next big thing to make an even greater impact on health. The result? An impressive list of patented formulas and ingredients, and a revolutionary product development process to help make natural approaches even safer and more effective.

Gran Eléctrica is an authentic Mexican restaurant in the heart of DUMBO. Together, owners Tamer Hamawi, Elise Rosenberg, and Emelie Kihlstrom, offer an authentic and market-driven Mexican menu inspired by travels abroad, particularly traditional Mexican street fare. Creating a new take on regionally-influenced Mexican cuisine, the menu aims to showcase a diversity of dishes from across the country.
Gran Eléctrica's emphasis on keeping our menu rooted in authentic Mexican cooking and techniques is expressed through items like fresh hand-pressed tortillas crafted with heirloom corn, house-made crema and queso fresco, as well as spicy chorizo made on site.
The beverage program incorporates Mexican flavors with seasonal ingredients, and cocktails featuring tequila and mezcal by small-batch and artisan distillers.
For more information on our food and drink, check out our menu.
With a respectful nod to Mexico, Gran Eléctrica boasts artful touches celebrating the vibrancy of Mexican art and painting. Inspired by famous Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada, carefully designed wallpaper includes classic Day of the Dead themes with a quirky twist – set in the Brooklyn landscape. Embracing the surrounding neighborhood, Gran Eléctrica also offers a large outdoor area directly under the Brooklyn Bridge for dining or casual drinks.
Chef Paolo Peralta
Chef Paolo Peralta grew up in Cuernavaca, the largest city of the state of Morelos, just two hours south of Mexico City. Ironically, Paolo was raised in a family that didn't often cook. His dad, a professional footballer, had only one rule for Paolo and his two brothers, "play a sport and stay out of trouble". However, Paolo's grandmother and aunt both were fantastic cooks and heavily influenced his upbringing. After moving to New York City to cook, Paolo spent years training in traditional Italian and French kitchens, before deciding to return to his Mexican roots, training under Danny Mena at Hecho en Dumbo and Richard Shandoval at Maya. In 2014, Paolo joined the team at Gran Electrica as soon as he "saw the lady pressing tortillas in the kitchen." Chef Paolo draws inspiration from his childhood memories, of his grandmother and aunt, and the local foods he grew up with, to build his menu driven by seasonal and local ingredients, while also utilizing traditional Mexican ingredients.

Geographical Classification: Eastern Alps > Gailtal Alps > Lienz Dolomites > Weittalspitze
As seen from the south Weittalspitze surely deserves to be named "Spitze" which in German means something between peak and pinnacle. The mountain is located to the south of the Lienz Dolomites a small mountain group in Austria's southern states East Tyrol and Carinthia. In fact the border between the two states runs directly over the eastern and western ridges of the mountain. Since it is located solitarily on the southern Ridge of the Lienz Dolomites it is a great lookout peak with views carrying towards the Carnic Alps Main Ridge as well as the Hohe Tauern Group.
Weittalspitze is a twin peaked limestone summit, the southern peak reaching 2503m in elevation while the slightly higher northern summit reaches 2539m. This main summit is very popular among hikers and ferrata climbers. There are four routes - two from the north, two from the south - which meet each other in passes on both sides of the summit. The final ascents along the summit ridges are far from easy but secured by fixed cables. The main danger is the gravel, which covers the rocky ascent routes. Never climb this mountain without a helmet.
The most popular ascent uses the trails across Zochenpass, one of two north-south traverses through the Lienz Dolomites. The pass itself is 2260m high and can be reached by beautiful trails which cut through the Dolomite Rock on narrow overgrown ledges. The remaining 300m of altitude are climbed using the ferrata "Allmaier Toni" along the eastern summit ridge in approximately 1h 30min. The normal ascent uses the western summit ridge. Here two trails from north and south meet at the Weittalsattel pass (2330m). The southern trail is not recommendable - too much gravel and debris - you need to be really experienced in these conditions to try this route. From Weittalsattel the remaining climb along the western ridge to the summit is rather uncomplicated.
Getting There
Weittalspitze can be reached from two sides: from the city of Lienz in the north or from the Spa resort Tuffbad in the south. Depending on your preferred trailhead the itineraries are as follows.
From the West (Brenner Motorway A22)
Leave the Brenner Motorway near Brixen / Bressanone and follow SS49 to the east through Pustertal / Val Pusteria. To the east of Innichen / San Candido you cross the Austrian - Italian border and follow the road (now B100) to Tassenbach. For Tuffbad turn right (south-east) here onto B111, which you follow to St. Lorenzen. Here turn left onto a side road which directly leads you to Tuffbad. For Lienz and the trailhead at Lienzer Dolomiten Hütte remain on B100 until you reach the city. Here turn right, direction Tristach and cross the Drau River to its southern side. From Tristach the "Dolomitenstrasse" the road into the Lienz Dolomites, is marked by signposts. Follow this road (toll!!) until you reach Lienzer Dolomitenhütte.
From the North
There are two possible roads:
- From Kitzbühel over B108 through the Felbertauern Tunnel to Lienz, then southwest to Tassenbach and left onto B111 into Lesachtal (Tuffbad trailhead) or south to Tristach and "Dolomitenstrasse" as described above (Lienz trailhead)
- From Salzburg along motorway A10 to Spittal. Turn west on B100 to Oberdrauburg, there either south to Kötschach-Mauthen were you turn east on B111 (Tuffbad trailhead) or further on to Görtschach, where you turn south towards Lavant and on to Tristach (Lienz trailhead).
From the South (Udine)
Take Motorway A23 to the exit Camia Tolmezzo. Follow SS52 north to Tolmezzo where you turn onto SS52 bis. This leads to Plöckenpass, where it crosses the Austro-Italian border. In Austria the road turns into B100 and at Kötschach-Mauthen you can either turn east on B111 into Lesachtal Valley (Tuffbad trailhead) or go on to Oberdrauburg and west on B100 to Görtschach etc. (Lienz trailhead).
Red Tape
Dolomitenstrasse (towards Lienzer Dolomitenhütte)- is a toll road for the last 7km. So if you want to start from the north you either have to pay 5€ or start at 1050m. Aside from that the farmers request to keep your dogs on leash wherever there are sheep grazing and to close any gate along the trails.
When To Climb
The best time is late June through late September. The mountain huts are open for the same time frame. I have read a report about a winter ski tour ascent along the ferrata and downhill skiing along the normal route so this must be possible as well.
In most of the villages of the area there is a small campground, which in most cases is associated with an inn or hotel. If you are looking for hotel rooms or apartments follow one of the links below
Mountain Huts and Refuges
There are only a handfull of refuges in the Lienz Dolomites, the closest of which (to Weittalspitze) is Kerschbaumer Hütte. Hochstadelhaus is on the other side of the group but from the other two huts you can reach the base of the mountain in about two hours.

Weather Conditions
Weather in East Tyrol and Carinthia is much better than in the rest of the country. The mostly western winds of Europe deposit their moisture in the western and northern Alps so that only little is left. Weittalspitze is located directly on the border between the two Austrian states, so for a weather report look at one of the pages below:
Maps 'n' Books
I have been using a map by Kompass Verlag, which is very good for the hiking trails though it does not show ALL the relevant summits of the Lienz Dolomites. The group is small and at 1:50000 you cannot show all summits.
- Lienzer Dolomiten / Lesachtal

You'll probably not be able to find anything on the Lienz Dolomites in a language other than German. The books I used are (only the first describes the ascents of Weittalspitze):

As the U.S. Postal Service deals with its busiest week of the year, the crush of snail mail won't feature many/any Christmas cards crossing paths between Oakland and Knoxville.
Former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin was fired in September, complete with a scathing press conference from owner Al Davis regarding the reasons for the move.
Kiffin has since filed a grievance with the league office regarding the money that he hasn't been paid.
And so should interim (for two more games) coach Tom Cable be upset to learn that Kiffin is rounding up some of his former Oakland assistants for Kiffin's new job in Tennessee? Regardless of whether Cable should be upset, he is.
"I'm pissed. That's the best way to put it," Cable said, according to Jerry McDonald of InsideBayArea.com. "Quite frankly, that's the only way I can put it."
Gone is offensive line coach James Cregg, who filled the spot Cable occupied before his promotion. Director of football operations Mark Jackson and administrative aide Steve Reaves is leaving, too.
Amazingly, Reaves was still employed by the Raiders even though he is Kiffin's brother-in-law.
For starters, Cable really shouldn't care, because he won't be the head coach next season. Also, what the hell are these guys supposed to do? Hang around to see whether they still have a bunk on a sinking ship or get in on the ground floor with a new opportunity?
Maybe the primary source of Cable's frustration is that he hasn't been invited to join Kiffin.
As the U.S. Postal Service deals with its busiest week of the year, the crush of snail mail won't feature many/any Christmas cards crossing paths between Oakland and Knoxville.
Nos20 says: Dec 15, 2008 7:30 PM
Teehe, you said pissed!
Naitch says: Dec 15, 2008 7:31 PM
If Cable is let go as head coach(which is pretty much a forgone conclusion at this juncture), I hope they can talk him into staying on and taking back his former position as Offensive Line coach. The O-line was improving with him at the helm.
ROMO4PRES says: Dec 15, 2008 7:34 PM
Tom Cable is a blip in the 'great' history of the Raiders, who will never be heard from again after this year.
Whatever happened to JUST WIN BABY? Seven years of 11 loss seasons is not just winning.
Patriots scored TOUCHDOWNS on their first five possessions. A high school team could do no worst. Where's the pride?
Let Asomugha go to free agency. He's being held hostage under the franchise tag.
IWS says: Dec 15, 2008 7:41 PM
Clearly heading to Knoxville is an upgrade over Oakland. Cable must be the only one to thinks he's got another year there.
titans_fan says: Dec 15, 2008 7:43 PM
Tom Cable = retard
joetoronto says: Dec 15, 2008 7:46 PM
I just watched the press conference and yes, Cable was clearly pissed off at Lame Kiffin.
Like he said, you don't quit during the season, you give it your all till the end.
ROMO4PRES: Nothing like stretching the truth there buddy. It's 6 years of 11 loss seasons, not 7, and the Pats scored on their first 4 possessions, not 5 but whatever.
I'm old enough to remember decades of bad Patriot teams, never mind 6 years. Enjoy what you have to the fullest because your window of opportunity is closing fast.
Just watch and see.
jkr says: Dec 15, 2008 7:54 PM
Who gives a s#!* if cable is pissed or not I'm a 31 year old die hard raider fan I should be pissed I have been suffering my whole adult life except for a couple of years with gruden/gannon I can't stand al davis he should have never got rid of kiffin.What the hell kind of offense are they running this is by far the worst offense I've seen in 15 years screw davis screw cable and by the way how the hell do the get a hat to fit that giant noggin of his.
909raiderlifer says: Dec 15, 2008 7:56 PM
Cable, should be more concerned about trying to stay withen two touchdowns of the other team.
BuckFutter says: Dec 15, 2008 7:58 PM
That's really lame of Kiffin to disrupt the coaching staff this close to the playoffs. This could seriously impact the Raiders change to make a run at the Super Bowl.

brauneyz says: Dec 15, 2008 8:05 PM
Al Davis and the Raider Nation need to look at everyone bailing from this sinking ship and put 2 + 2 together. Where there's smoke there's fire, yes, even, especially, on a sinking ship.
I agree. Free Nnamdi!
radrntn says: Dec 15, 2008 8:09 PM
who cares..all of these guys are no names.it's not like when gruden left, he took bruce allen etc…
Kiffin can't coach, and Tennesee will be doing their own press conference here shortly announcing how they made a mistake…
time for a new coach, and a new staff in Oakland….if the new coach wants cable, i think he is a great o-line coach…however Al needs to get somebody like denny green, who knows how to turn things around.

Maybe JaMarcus Russell should join Kiffin, he could improve his wonderlic score and become a real NFL QB.
Rossy P says: Dec 15, 2008 8:42 PM
The Raiders are a JOKE. What used to be a respected organization has turned into a comedy. I can't see why anybody would want to be the head coach on that team. I feel for the hard core fans. That's just about as bad as being a Lion fan.

I actually think it's worse. Lion fans know there is no hope. Raider fans are for some reason both optimistic, and indignant.
It's like you tell them their ship is sinking, and they tell you it isn't, and call you stupid for making that suggestion….while they are ankle deep in trout.

Kiffin proving what a classless idiot he was.
junior says: Dec 15, 2008 10:13 PM
Rossy P and BuckFutter:
Actually it's nowhere close to as bad as being a Lions fan. I won't even go into too much detail except to say 3 Superbowl wins, 5 appearances. The last appearance being 6 years ago. The Lions have never even sniffed the Superbowl. It's amazing how easily all the haters forget the rich history of the Raiders. Sure it has been bad for 6 years, but that's nothing compared to teams like the Lions who have been bad for 60 years.
ParkerFly says: Dec 15, 2008 10:19 PM
nflfollies: College coaches hire NFL assistants during the season all the time, but most wait until the season is over to leave. It's the people getting hired's decision whether they leave now or wait, and has nothing to do with Kiffin. So if you're blaming anyone, blame the assistants. Kiffin reached an agreement with Saint's DL coach Ed Orgeron to join the Vols too but he is waiting until the sesson is over to leave.

You telling us that the Patriots window is closing fast is implying that you can see into the future and know all. I'm sure a 100 other people have come on here to predict that the Patriots wont win for much longer and they have seem to pass the test of time. I cant stand when people talk like they know the future when their just pulling stuff out of their asses. And no, i dont even like the Patriots..
AS for the Raiders.. I thought no one on the team outside of the head coach got a contract. Isnt that what happend to Lombardi? He sued the team even though he had no contract
evil says: Dec 15, 2008 11:46 PM
No the Raiders should tag Asomugha eith the non-exclusive and deal him. They could gain another 1st in this years draft and an additional pick or player easily. Hell maybe they can ship him to AZ for Q.

I'm willing to bet that if Cable didn't get the interim HC position he probably would have bailed too given the chance. Cable must feel more important or significant than he his. I'm sure these guys leaving before the end of the season was more a slap at Davis than at Cable. What a moron.
Brewster says: Dec 16, 2008 4:40 PM
It doesn't matter who coaches the Raiders, this year, next year or thereafter as long as meddling Al Davis is the Owner. Until Al is gone you diehard Raider fans are in for more pain. If I were a Raider fan I'd get my Doctor to give me a prescription for Vicodin to put me out of my misery. I feel for you.
The team is so pathetic again this year I'm not sure they could beat De La Salle. They sure don't exhibit the heart & desire De La Salle has, nor do they play as smart as evidenced by the usual dumb penalties again.

New threats are emerging every day. We know about the popularity of eBay's (EBAY) PayPal, the dominant person-to-person payment service. Last year, eBay decided it needed to protect that golden goose and picked off payment services system Braintree for $800 million. Braintree processes well over $12 billion in transactions per year
Not to be outdone, there is also Square, which is growing in popularity. Square is reported to have processed more than $6 billion worth of transaction last year. Last but not least, Intuit (INTU) has a system called GoPayment, which is a relatively unknown service, but it is gaining traction.
And let's assume these threats weren't immediate. Even if they posed no real danger, VeriFone still needs rivals like NCR (NCR) and Ingenico (INGIY) to falter, other companies that spent the past year eating up market share. They've proven more stable and have not shot themselves in the foot.
Although VeriFone's recent partnership with American Express (AXP) may yield incremental benefits and growth opportunities, l wouldn't get carried away and set expectations too high. Verifone has done better in the past couple of quarters, yes. But the bar was set very low.
On Tuesday, when VeriFone reports fiscal first-quarter earnings, management will have an opportunity to prove its critics wrong. The Street will be looking for earnings of 27 cents per share on revenue of $429 million, which would represent flat revenue. (This is while earnings-per-share is expected to decline 47%.)
Let's not get too down. The stock is up so strongly over the past quarter, making profits off the depths from which this company comes. The good news is that CEO Paul Galant has been saying all of the right things. And after having served as head of the Enterprise Payments and Cards units at Citigroup (C), he knows his way around a register. Investors can only hope that this experience pays off.

Pasco DB Damien Wilson has been suspended for one game after being ejected from the Pirates' 56-17 win over rival Zephyrhills on Friday night.
Wilson was ejected after a second-half scuffle in the 9-Mile War, which gave Pasco the Class 5A, District 6 championship and put Zephyrhills into tonight's tiebreaker with Anclote and Fivay.
The FHSAA's report notes that the ejection calls for a one-game suspension, which means Wilson will miss Pasco's regular-season finale against Delray Beach Village Academy on Friday. He could return to play for next week's Class 5A region quarterfinal against Citra North Marion.
The 5-foot-8, 155-pound senior recorded 19 tackles and two passes defended in the Pirates' first seven games of the season to help Pasco remain undefeated.

AMI Stadium, Christchurch, Saturday 5.35pm (AEST)
Last meeting: Crusaders 42 bt Hurricanes 14 at Westpac Stadium
Head-to-head: Played 21 Crusaders 15 Hurricanes 4 drawn 2
In Christchurch: Played 11 Crusaders 8 Hurricanes 2 drawn 1
Referee: Bryce Lawrence (NZL)
TV: Live, FoxSports 3
TAB Sportsbet: Crusaders $1.25 Hurricanes $3.85
Greg Growden writes: The Crusaders are suddenly omitting key players, and you have to wonder whether the big, ominous shadow of new All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is hovering all over this. So an upset is hovering. The Hurricanes are good outside chances.
AAP writes: As strong and as competitive as the Hurricanes have been over the years, they have regularly been bullied by the Crusaders. If there was ever a time to turn the tables, it's now for the Wellingtonians. The 'Canes have a bye and a clash with the Chiefs to follow so a loss here would mean curtains for the competition surprise-packets. They are helped by the fact the Crusaders will be without All Blacks trio Dan Carter, Kieran Read and Israel Dagg. But the visitors have been dealt a heavy injury blow themselves with TJ Perenara out for the rest of the season, Victor Vito out and Cory Jane still unavailable.

Time Schedule:
Linda S Watts
Bothell Campus
Examines works from across the arts: painting, writing, film, architecture, theater, new media. Explores their relationship to public spaces such as museums, site-specific structures, galleries, and exhibitions, as well as the history of their public reception. Includes site visits. Offered: ASp.
Class description
Members of this class will explore three major categories within contemporary American art-- public art, installation art, and interventionist art. We will view and read about such art, discuss the issues specific works raise, write analytically about art within its cultural context, and develop proposals for new art works.
What Content This Course Will Ask You to Discover:
--What is public art? --What is installation art? --What is interventionist art? --What attributed do such works possess, and what patterns emerge through comparisons? --What produces the most compelling works in each of the above artistic categories? --How do viewers engage with such texts? --What is the cultural context for contemporary art? --What are the lasting implications of such expression? --How does one create such art pieces?
What Specific Skills the Course Will Invite You to Build:
--Identifying and evaluating sources --Using primary and secondary sources --Applying critical methods to artistic issues --Thinking in humanistic terms --Making textual inferences --Engaging conflicts among interpretations --Practicing across modes of writing (such as analytical essay, press release, and peer response)
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
There are many ways to meet your degree requirements, so it is important for you to choose each course wisely. Sometimes practical constraints, such as time slot and the like) play a part in your decisions, but these should not trump choices based upon the learning prospect. No course is right for everyone, but only you are positioned to determine which course is most appropriate for you.
You should know from the outset that the way I teach typically calls upon students to "do something" rather than to hear or watch me do something. What this means is that you will need to take responsibility for your own learning; hold yourself accountable for your choices; interact, question, respond, and introspect; deal constructively with complexity, ambiguity, uncertainty, ambivalence, and nuance; contribute to shared inquiry as conducted by a community of learners; and be ever receptive to, and resilient in, intellectual risk-taking.
Here are a few clear indications that this course might not be for you: you desire a survey course where in-class coverage of text-book material is the central value, you prefer lecture courses, you like to remain anonymous in the classroom, you decline to participate in class discussions and activities, you want to interact only with the instructor (vs. peers), you expect to be successful on the first attempt at a skill, you dislike reading and/or writing, you are uncomfortable with readings featuring adult situations or strong/coarse language, you like best a class where questions can be settled and facts confirmed, you think it will be an easy course because such topics seem wholly subjective, or you are more concerned with your grade than with what you learn. If any of these statements describes you, the course is probably not a good choice for you. If this is the case, I would be glad to assist you in finding one more suitable to your educational needs.
Recommended preparation
There is no preparation or prerequisite for students enrolled in this course. It is important that class members possess intellectual curiousity, as well as a passion for writing, speaking, and dialogue. A creative turn of mind is helpful, but no prior experience with art or art history is needed.
Class assignments and grading
Frequent reading assignments; field assignments to view and respond to artworks in the Seattle area; in-class essay exams; and a project that includes an oral presentation.
Important: Please note that due to the nature of this course, class members will be required to complete field assignments that involve viewing both indoor and outdoor art in the Seattle area. If enrolling in the class, please be prepared to complete approximately three such assignments outside class time. Each will require two hours with the art, in addition to whatever time is needed to reach it and return from it.
Class members will be evaluated in and across a variety of performance categories, including n-class contributions, essay exams, field assignments, projects, and presentations.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com.

text: My sisters, niece and I spent a week in Barcelona. My younger sister's comment that Barcelona was our kind of place because there were artichokes on every menu was spot on!! Now that I am home I am craving the kind of raw artichoke salad we had there. Everything I find on the internet starts with canned artichokes. I found some baby artichokes in the market yesterday so what now? TIA

Welcome to Smoky Wok!
Hi, I'm Jasmine, the writer of this blog which was started in 2008 and here's a little background about myself - I was born in Malaysia and spent my childhood there and have lived in the UK and the US for some periods of time. I started this blog as a creative outlet for my culinary wanderings that were borne out of being homesick which has since blossomed or is blossoming into something more for which I am incredibly grateful. I recently started doing food styling, recipes design and food photography for clients which would never have crossed my mind earlier. This is a world beyond charts, Bloomberg, share prices and the like - can you guess my 'day job' yet?
I am the recipe developer, cook, baker, photographer and writer for this blog. I aim to share both classic, authentic recipes that I know and love through my heritage and new recipes that I create along the way. Apart from the usually easy and simple recipes, I hope to also give you glimpses of the culture behind the food and show you that there's much more to Chinese/ Asian food than just greasy take-outs.
I am a self-taught home cook with guidance from my mom who is a great cook and through plenty of trials and errors aided by bouts of curiousity and of course by the fact that I love to cook (and eat!) good food. If it were not for living abroad, I would probably have not even started gaining an interest in cooking, much less food styling and food photography so this blog makes my years abroad that much more meaningful. As with a lot of food bloggers, I am still seized by a constant on-off prop fever so I am always on the hunt for the next 'perfect' plate or prop to complete my photos.
Some of my favourite chefs/ cooking personalities include Tom Collichio and So Sze Wong. Just in case you were curious, my 'day' job is in the finance industry and I am an economist by education where I hold a degree from the LSE. You can also find me on facebook, twitter, foodgawker, tastespotting and photograzing.
I love your comments and feedback so please leave me a comment or email me anytime even if it's just to say 'hi'! I try to be as meticulous as I can in my instructions but please don't hesitate to ask questions about my recipes or if any of my recipes don't work for you, please let me know and I will definitely try to help. If you have difficulty sourcing for any of the ingredients listed, please ask me anytime and I will try my best to help or suggest suitable alternatives.
UPDATE: As of September 2011, the name of this blog officially changed to "Smoky Wok", please read the announcement here for a bit of history :).
Happy Cooking!

Commenting Policy
I have a moderation process in place as there was just too much spam going on. I will try my best to reply to all comments with priority given to questions asked especially about the recipes. In case the comment you left is not published after awhile, it could be an accident on my part, the spam filter caught some words (or a link) or unfortunately I thought you were rude in your comment which by the way happens probably 0.1% of the time as it's rare that people who take the time to comment feel the need to be rude :O. I appreciate all comments but as this blog is my little 'home' on the web, I expect basic politeness in all comments. Thanks!
Kindly note that all content on this blog, including and not limited to my images, recipes and any other content belong exclusively to me. Please provide credit and a link back if you decide to use or adapt any of my recipes.
For image use, please contact me via email for EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION. Please do not remove/ erase/ crop off my watermark and use my images as your own, it is not only highly unethical but also very illegal under DMCA to crop off a photographer's watermark and worse, paste your logo onto my image. If your use is of a commercial nature, please contact me and if the image is not licensed with Getty, I will be able to license it to you directly, I normally do not provide free images for commercial use as this is also very unfair to my clients who actually pay. Commercial use can be very wide and includes but is not limited to company websites, brochures, packaging, advertorials and yes even Facebook fan pages for companies.
Finally, a selection of my food images are licensed exclusively through Getty Images and any unauthorised use of such images will be tracked down by Getty which just means you will have to pay and the amount is usually much more than if you had just bought the license legally in the first place. :)
Can you tell I've had bad experiences? :D

His face was streaked red with camwood, and around his eyes he had painted two white circles.
This they smeared with a paint made by the admixture of camwood and copal gum.
Boil half a pound of camwood (in a bag) in two gallons of water, for fifteen minutes.
With some dyes a separate bath is needed, such as with camwood or Catechu.
It is a splendid site for a colony and camwood, palm oil and a little ivory are available there.
Much of this is due to the camwood powder, and with this mixed with oil they perform their toilet.
Also Black horn, camwood, centre-bone split buck, sham stag table knives and forks.
Amongst old Spanish furniture you will find things made from camwood that are a joy to the eye.
For a rich mild red colour, rectified spirits of naphtha, dyed with camwood dust, or an oily decoction of alkanet-root.
Red comes next to this which is mostly obtained of camwood, another domestic employment of the women.

Yesterday was an awesome day for mother and son. Yes I was invited to be media for School Holidays the Child and Safety Campaign in Sunway Pyramid. Most participants are children from kindergarten but with some older children too like my son and others.
There is so much fun for the children who attended the workshop, have you heard of the Safety Ranger workshop? It is similar to that. For Safety Ranger workshop it is open to children aged 7 year old to 12 years old.
Look at the yummy food we have after the Child Safety Campaign, we head to The Gardens. The first picture is cheese chicken with tomato sauce, I ordered for son. Second picture is the green curry beef. Last picture you are looking at the pumpkin soup.
I have posted about the Child Safety Campaign in Sunway Pyramid, have a look yeah.

675 Bar. It's smack dab in the epicenter of bedlam, MPD (that's The Meatpacking District for you uninitiated folks). 675 Bar is actually a neat little bar directly below Bill's Burger. It has an eclectic scene most weeknights. It's sandwiched between The Gansevoort and one of those chain, pseudo-Mexican spots – Dos Caminos. Ara, a local industry wine bar, is thrown in there too for good measure. Dos Caminos is right up there in quality and stature with The Olive Garden, in my not so humble opinion. They've spread to 4 or 5 locations all over Manhattan. I'd like to find the dude that leased Dos the space in MPD, in particular, and tie him to the 14th street F-train subway entrance on a 98 degree July day so he can "waft" in the subway's finest, Summer aromas. Ok, ok… I jest somewhat. I've eaten at Dos (on Park Ave) a few times. The food is just fine, the cocktails yummy, and the overall experience: pretty good.
Interestingly enough, both 675 Bar and Dos Caminos are both BR Guest establishments. BR Guest is one of a couple of dozen, large scale, NYC-based hospitality management organizations that have proliferated in the last decade or two. Their properties also include fine spots like Strip House, Primehouse and Blue Water Grill. Sometimes they get it really right (read: Blue Water) and other times (as in the aforementioned Dos Caminos) err… not so much.
Anyway, Eben Klemm, BR Guests corporate – um – "mixologist," (here we go again with the labels) dishes on Manhattans – shaken v. stirred. Me? I don't give two craps about [temporary] cloudiness and tiny shards of ice that will dissolve in a minute anyway. I kind of like them – and I'm a life-long Bourbon/Manhattan aficionado. As I mentioned in a previous article, I'll take my Manhattan extra cold – thank you. All else being equal, shaking will generally result in a colder cocktail.
Mr. Klemm gets the proportions correct, thankfully. He's got a weird shake and uses a jigger, which simply won't fly in busy spots, but whatever – those things may just be camera fodder. Bartenders need to be able to free pour those measurements like clockwork. If you watch the video, clearly he's bent on pushing stirred. Just like Mr. Klemm, our buddy Doug, over at The Pegu Blog, is also adamant about stirring over shaking. I'm in the opposite camp.
What say you Kimosabe?

"Stick Figure obviously has created his own little groove in a growing scene."
"Stick Figure's forte is a crossbreed between an upbeat style of roots reggae and dub."
"Burial Ground is an album that offers a lot of musical presentations with a great message of searching. Stick Figure delivers a thoughtful album where not a beat or note is misplaced. The album is here, and the message is clear, "open up your mind for something new." "
"Possessing a unique style of music that combines a creative blend of upbeat roots reggae with the reverberating echoes of dub comes Stick Figure."
"It's been two weeks since the official release of Stick Figure's new album "Smoke Stack". The album hit #1 on iTunes Top Reggae Album Charts and has stayed consistently in the top 3 spots since the release. Sitting along side notary acts such as Bob Marley, Matisyahu, Rebelution & SOJA. As well as debuting in the Top 10 on the Billboard Reggae Album Charts at #8"

Commuting in Sin City
"Q. What do you consider to be the biggest transportation issue facing Southern Nevada and how do you think it should be solved?
A. Two things. One is workforce mobility. Moving, by the year 2018, which is just 10 years from now, the numbers vary, but some are between a half million and 600,000 employees, on and off Las Vegas Boulevard with the growth of the projects. You know, everybody likes to point to gaming and say it's the problem, but the last time I checked, this is a community - not a gaming community, but a community as a whole - and we all benefit from that growth. But I think if we don't institute some type of major transit component in the construct of our transportation solutions, we're going to have a huge workforce mobility problem. Nationally, it's goods movement and ports. From an economic development perspective, our commission's report says we need to build a Seattle port every year for the next 25 years to keep up with the demand of the goods that are being imported into our nation."
