"Laura Pensiero's "Hudson Valley Mediterranean: The Gigi Good Food Cookbook" could be shortened to just "The Good Food Cookbook." Yes, the recipes are tied to New York's Hudson Valley and traditional Mediterranean dishes, but good is the operative word -- good on the pocketbook, good for your health, good looking on the plate and deliciously good going down."
"Weekenders, artists, actors and filmmakers" contribute to the "hopping scene" at this "packed" Rhinebeck Italian-Med turning out "wonderful meat and fish dishes" in addition to "upscale" pastas, "_wafer-thin" pizzas and "killer" "Tuscan fries"; the "attractive" if "odd-shaped space" exudes a "nice" "citylike" ambiance… this "hot spot" is "a keeper."

"Culinary Capital: Rhinebeck has Become the Hudson Valley Dining Destination"
If one restaurant gets credit for starting the trend, it is Gigi's Trattoria. Owner Laura Pensiero, a French Culinary Institute graduate, registered dietitian and cookbook author, opened her sophisticated yet casual restaurant on Montgomery Street (Route 9) in September 2001, two weeks after the most horrific day in modern American history.
It was a hit from the get-go. Locals and New Yorkers who had fled the city after 9/11 were thrilled to come to a fun, lively restaurant featuring ingredients from Hudson Valley farms.
"The timing of the opening of Gigi's was absolutely perfect," Pensiero says. "It was what what people wanted at that moment."
"Five amazingly gifted and giving food professionals: They teach, write cookbooks, run superb restaurants and devote huge helpings of time, energy and experience to making their slice of the world better. Here, they share their most inspired recipes.

happy with the service i received the price quoted was the price i paid was told any problems bring it back
Done and dusted in less than an hour, well done. A+++
Brilliant.....I spent all weekend worrying what could be wrong with my car and how much I was going to be charged to get it fixed. I got a very quick reply from Mobile Automotive Services ....and they were the only garage that replied in detail what the problem could be...before even seeing the car. I took my car to them on the same day as discussing the fault on the phone.....they had a look at the car and the problem was exactly what he said it could be on the phone. That is someone who knows what hes talking about!!!!! Good to his word....he got his mechanic....Mark, straight on the job and half hour later.....all done. Car drives as good as ever. Jaguar and other garages were quoting all sorts of silly prices relating to all sorts of repair work.....work that didnt even need doing. Thank you very much.....I WILL be using this garage for all of our cars and I recommend them to anyone that has any problem with any car.
Work carried out at agreed price and on time. Would use again.
Absolutely spot on . Very helpful.. first time customer but I'll be going back
Great service very fast and friendly
All fine
Job done at the price quoted happy days
Excellent job Friendly n polite staff,top marks highly recommended
Good service, job complete to a good standard and very pleasant, thanks
Good fast service and comunication
Happy with work done and quick turnaround time
This is the second time I've used this garage and won't be the last as before got great sevice and staff very helpful so before you go anywhere else give them a ring!!!
Was my first visit to this garage and wont be my last Had new brakes fitted to my car the staff are so friendly.Would recommend this garage to family and friends 100%
First class customer service. The quote was competitive, they use quality parts, and fitted me in at very short notice due to urgency. They was polite, completed the job without any delay, have good waiting facilities, and impressive workshop. The lady from who can fix my car, was extremely helpful. Very impressed on every level. Thank you so much! I am a skeptic and rarely trust garages, but these are faultless. Would definitely recommend. My brake problem occurred in the evening and I didn't know if I could get fixed next day. I have a 70 mile round trip commute. All I describe above took the worry away from me. I cannot praise these enough.
We are a reliable family run business that covers Eggburough and the surrounding towns. We repair vehicles to the highest of standards at a very low cost to yourselves. If you would like us to quote on any work then please contact us via the Who Can Fix My Car website.

Players first, then Tortorella.
Marc Staal:
"We weren't great at the start, but that goal hurts a little bit, obviously. I mean, it takes a bounce off Feds' glove, I didn't know where it was, and I don't think he could have played it (because) it was in my feet. They end up throwing it at the net and it goes in. But it wasn't anything we couldn't overcome."
On the second goal being an example of how dangerous Crosby is.
"Yeah, he's a good passer. We kind of got caught there, I think we were changing, or we just kind of let the D cruise through us and get open. But he looks like he's going to shoot it and he ends up passing it. It was a nice play."
On defending him:
"The second period there, a lot of their lines were getting 3-on-2s, 2-on-1s. We corrected that in the third. But when you do that, even for a little spate of time, they're going to hurt you. Obviously, Crosby's included in that. If you give those guys room, they're going to make plays."
Brandon Dubinsky:
"Our forwards have to make sure they come back and put some back pressure on them and let the D know that they can stand in there. Likewise, the D have to make sure they take a look at the forwards, where they are, before they decide to stand in there. You know, it's a two-way street. We've got to make sure we come up and down the ice as a five-man unit and for that stretch (in the second) we didn't and it cost us with a couple of goals."
"Fleury came out and played the puck a lot. We've got to make sure we have good dumps and put the puck in positions to get it back. A few times that we did it we got some good chances around their net, and the times that we didn't, the times that we just gave it to him, he made a good outlet pass and they just came right back down on us.
"But it all night it was a bit of a ping-pong match. They had a few chances and a few shifts in our zone, and we had a few in their zone. But there was a lot of neutral-zone play and we've just got to make sure that we continue to pressure and play that aggressive stuyle. I think the biggest thing for us, you know, cycling's great, but we've got to take some of those pucks to the net and try and jam away at a few. I thought we did that in the third. … We've got to make sure we do that for 60 and not for 20."
On the PP:
"I think that they pressured hard, but it was nothing that we weren't ready for. It's a matter of executing. We've got to find a way to bury one of those. I've said it before in the same situation as this: We've got to find a timely goal from our power-play and our best guys out there, or at least get some big chances and some momentum, and we didn't find either of those."
On Crosby's slew-foot against Callahan:
"He did it again and got called for it. We just have to keep him honest and play him hard between whistles and not focus too much on one person. I don't think he was the difference tonight. We beat ourselves a little bit and they got some goals from a couple of their other lines that hurt us."
Asked again about the slew foots:
"I'm not going to sit here and talk about him anymore. I'm not even going to address it. That's all."
Henrik Lundqvist:
On Crosby's slew-foot.
"I didn't see it, so I can't really comment on it. He gets a lot of attention and he;s a great player. So as long as he can take some hits, too, it's fine. It's hockey. It will be a couple of things here and there that he might think are rough. Like I said, I didn't see it so I can't comment on it."
On the heavy November schedule.
"It's been busy. We were hoping to finish strong here with a good win, but they were good."
"It's the last game of the month, we want to finish strong, it was a great challenge for us. I don't know if we approached it differently. It was not hard to get ready, I think. You play one of the best teams in the league and we had an emotional game last time we played them, so everybody's ready to go."
On whether a game like this changes his view of his team.
"I feel really good about this team, about how the guys show up every night. We work for each other and stand up for each other and I think everybody feels the same way. We've had some good road trips where we spend a little more time together and that's great, too, I think. It's been a busy month, but we've done a pretty good job. It's been a lot of hockey. I feel good about this team."

Looking for more information about Captain Jacob Pennywitt. A Revolutionary War Soldier?
Search through millions of records to find out more.
Jacob Pennywitt is mentioned as Captain in several soldiers' pension applications. Although Jacob Pennywitt died in 1813 and didn't have a pension record it is useful to explore other soldiers' pension applications to discern additional information about Jacob Pennywitt.
Search through millions of records to find out more.
23 Mar 1781 — Shenandoah County, Virginia
1781 — Shenandoah County, Virginia
Sep 1777 — Millerstown, Shenandoah County, Virginia
John C. Aleshite's pension application indicates he was in Captain Rouch's Command with Ensign, Jacob Pennywit. About Sept 1777 they marched from Millerstown, now called Woodstock (Shenandoah County, Virginia) to Reading, Pennsylvania. They arrived four days prior to the battle of Germantown which they then participated.
John C. Aleshite was born 23 Dec 1755 at Smith's Creek in Page County, Virginia. He applied for pension in 1832 while living in Page County.
1775 — District 9, Old Dunmore County, Virginia
There is a book at ancestry dot com which is titled Revolutionary War Records, Virginia, author not given.
pages 590-609 are from " Bird-Samuels Papers"; Original Records of Old Dunmore County, Virginia.---- Census and Revolutionary War Rolls of 1775.
Page 609: Military Districts, Old Dunmore County, VA
District # 9 Captain is G. Harrison; Lieutenant is John FiltzMiers and Ensign is Jacob Penniwit
May 1781 — Petersburg, Virginia
Henry Aleshite had a very illustrious Revolutionary War Career. He was drafted into the Militia for a tour of 3 months under Capt. Jacob Pennywit and Marched with some other companions to Petersburg, VA and was engaged in the skirmish of battle which was fought at that place May 1781. From Petersburg marched to what was called Mobbin Hills (?Mabbin Hills) 18 miles below Richmond.
Henry Aleshite was born 19 Feb 1754 Valley of Powell's Fort in Shenandoah County, Virginia and first entered the service in 1778.
1778 — Virginia
Johnathan Seamands also had a very colorful Revolutionary history with multiple enlistments. One of his enlistments in 1778 was 2 months and 10 days in Captains Richard Webb and Pennywitt's Companies, Colonel Blackwell's Virginia Regiment.
Mr. Seamands moved to Jefferson County, Tennessee in 1806. He received his pension 9 March 1833 and died in 1834.
I wonder if his family was acquainted with Jacob Pennywitt's granddaughters and families, Lydia Pennywitt Neff; Susan Pennywitt Zirkle and Elizabeth Pennywitt Funk. These families all moved in Jefferson County, Tennessee in the 1830's.
Jacob Pennywitt d. 1813. I have exact reference. REVOLUTIONARY WAR RECORDS, VIRGINIA by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh. Original was Volume 1 published in 1936. Reprinted by Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc. Baltimore 1967. I am a descendant.

Brian Eno: Here Come the Warm Jets
In the spirit of honesty, I don't think I had any idea who this guy was until this weekend. I was at a Jon Brion show. He asked for request and people passionately wanted to here some tracks of this, Eno's '74 debut. He played a couple tracks, prefaced by an endorsement of the album that was strong enough to download it as soon as I got home.

American University Washington College of Law Celebrates Commencement 2014
VIEW VIDEO: Commencement Highlights Video in Honor of the Class of 2014
VIEW VIDEO: Remarks by Judy Smith '86
VIEW VIDEO: Remarks by Marcus Childress
American University Washington College of Law welcomed Judy A. Smith '86, founder and president of Smith & Company, a leading strategic and crisis communications firm, and co-executive producer of ABC's "Scandal," as the 2014 Commencement Speaker. The law school's commencement was held May 18, 2014, at American University's Bender Arena.
Claudio Grossman, dean of American University Washington College of Law, introduced Smith after delivering remarks which recognized the accomplishments of the class of 2014 and paid tribute to the mission of the law school's founders.
"Let us remember that we are not simply spectators of life," said Dean Claudio Grossman. "We have the transformative power that is provided by a superb legal education and your own commitment, imagination, and creativity. You have studied at a law school renowned for its unique ability to imagine and shape a better world. This important value started with our Founding Mothers."
Smith (pictured left) was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by American University President Neil Kerwin.
"Character matters," said Smith, to the class of 2014, which graduated 464 JDs, 184 LL.M.s, and seven SJDs. "[Character] is how you lead your life. It is the kind of decisions you make. It is whether you lead a life of integrity. That is important. Your career—it is extremely important—but it is not what defines your success. What defines your success is your character."
Prior to founding Smith & Company, Smith was a partner at several Washington, D.C.- based public relations firms. Before that, she served as senior vice president of corporate communications at NBC. Additionally, she served as NBC's chief spokesperson for domestic and international programming and business ventures, and also helped with the groundbreaking launch of MSNBC. In 1991, Smith joined the White House with her appointment as special assistant and deputy press secretary to President George H. W. Bush. During her tenure she provided the president and his Cabinet with communications advice on a wide range of foreign and domestic issues.
Smith received a bachelor of science degree in public relations from Boston University and graduated from AUWCL in 1986, where she served as the first African-American woman to serve as the executive editor of the American University Law Review.
Student speaker for the ceremony, Marcus Childress, described the unique training he and his classmates received at AUWCL.
"We have all been changed," said Childress. "We have been molded, shaped, and transformed to be abnormal—abnormal because we have been taught how to think creatively about the law, society, and the world around us."
The commencement ceremony was followed by a reception attended by graduates, family, and friends on the American University Quadrangle.
Student Awards Announced at Commencement 2014
- Administrative Law Review Award: Ehren Wade
- Business Law Review Award: Elizabeth Grant
- Edward C. Bou Award: JD – Yoonhee Kim; LL.M. – David Neukirchner

FDA's presubmission program and meetings present a valuable opportunity for companies to gain clarity and nonbinding feedback on premarket submissions and testing plans.
By Allyson B. Mullen
Earlier this year, FDA issued the final guidance, "Requests for Feedback on Medical Device Submissions: The Presubmission Program and Meetings with Food and Drug Administration Staff." This program allows for a variety of different presubmissions and meetings with FDA, including those to educate FDA or to discuss the plans for a premarket submission—such as a 510(k) notification, de novo petition, or premarket approval (PMA) application—or testing, including clinical study plans.
A presub meeting can be immensely helpful when used effectively. When a company has a new technology or when its technology is being developed for a new use that FDA may not be familiar with, it can be tremendously useful to meet with FDA and educate the agency on the new technology.
Later in the regulatory process, when the company is preparing for a premarket submission and/or establishing its testing plan for the new medical device or IVD product, it can use the presub program to gain early, nonbinding feedback from FDA as to its submission strategy, types of testing planned, and the test methods to be employed. Feedback obtained from a presub can give companies some confidence that the data they generate and their regulatory strategy will be in line with FDA's expectations.
While the presub program can be tremendously useful, it is easy for companies to squander the opportunity. Companies often overload FDA with too much information and forget to pose strategic questions to solicit key responses from the agency. Here are three tips for using the presub program effectively:
When struggling with the increasingly complex regulatory system in the United States, medical device manufacturers should take advantage of the presub program to provide guidance and help avoid costly errors and delays.
|Learn more about the advantages of presub meetings and other regulatory affairs issues at the MD&M East conference, June 9-12, in New York City.
Allyson B. Mullen is an associate at the law firm Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, P.C., where she provides counsel to medical device and IVD manufacturers.

Battlefields of South Africa
South Africa's battlefields mark the saga of our modern history. While there must have been many territorial disputes before 1652, most of South Africa's historic battlefields cover the period from when Dutch settlers first arrived to the end of the South African War in 1902. more
The Battle of Blaauwberg
Maybe it wasn't much as grand old-time battles go, but the Battle of Blaauwberg, fought within sight of Cape Town's Table Mountain in 1806, set the colonial power of Britain up in the Cape Colony for more than a century and ended the era of Dutch rule once and for all. more
The Battle of Grahamstown
Less than a year before the arrival of the 1820 Settlers from Britain, the frontier settlement of Grahamstown was attacked by a great Xhosa army – and if it had not been for superior British firepower and last-minute interventions by a squad of buffalo hunters, the Xhosa might well have won the day. more
The Bushveld Carbineers
Limpopo province is full of myths, legends and rollicking adventure stories. One of these stories is about the hard-riding multi-national unit called the Bushveld Carbineers, formed during the South African War (also known as the Anglo-Boer War), and one of its officers who became an Australian folk hero: Lieutenant Harry 'Breaker' Morant. more
Blockhouses of the South African War
Not all of the 8000-odd blockhouses built during the South African War look the same. Some resemble large granaries, others modern-day electricity 'sub-stations', while others appear as fanciful little castles. But they were all intended to do the same job: keeping the ever-mobile Boers from accessing British supply lines. more

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Workshop Five has proven to be the most interesting to me up to this point. I
found particular interest in two of the labs, the first being the Stoiciometry
of Cooking. In the past, I have not used any lab or demo to introduce stoich
but always wished I had one. I think this cake making lab is incredible! I
plan to try it here in just a couple of weeks.
The other activity was the Cherry Coke Distillation Lab. My students do a
normal distillation of a water/ink mixture. I think they would find this
activity so much more interesting. It will be neat to see if we can actually
smell two different odors in the grape soda. It will also give me a chance to
introduce esters, something we will study in detail later in the course.

POLICE and fire chiefs are investigating a potentially deliberate fire in Brierfield.
Firefighters were called to Cambridge Street at 4.10am today, where they discovered flames coming from a sofa on the ground floor of the mid-terraced property.
Nobody was in the house at the time and it was uncertain whether anybody had been living there.
Firefighter Chris Walton said: "The settee in the living room was pretty well destroyed by fire and smoke.
"There was also smoke damage to the rest of the property.
"The police are looking into it and we will also have our own investigations to determine the cause.
"It is possible that it is a suspicious fire."
Two fire crews from Nelson and another from Burnley spent around 90 minutes putting out the flames and making sure the house was safe.

Jil Sander Pre-Fall 2012
Shot by Japanese photographer Teruyoshi Hayashida, Take Ivy is a cult coffee-table book documenting the style of male students on Ivy League campuses that was first published in 1965 and reissued by popular demand in 2010 (original copies have sold for thousands of dollars). For those familiar with Hayashida's images, Raf Simons's new collection for Jil Sander offers a glimpse inside the women's dorms of those prestigious schools, as cast in a very stylishly enhanced future. Taking inspiration from traditional collegiate dressing, letterman sweaters were reconfigured with elongated waistbands and then morphed to form nip-waisted dresses. In place of a coat of arms or Greek insignia, words such as promise and silence were emblazoned on the back of jackets, alluding to the secret codes of conduct you might expect from a sorority.
Fashion's move towards an oversize silhouette reverberated in the outerwear, with a hooded coat in winter white cut from techno gabardine wool. It's an idea that the Belgian designer looked at last spring; one only needs peruse the best-dressed lists of 2011 to know that his voluminous shapes—couture-like bell-shaped skirts and dresses as worn on the red carpet by Tilda Swinton and Amanda Brooks—were a winning and forward-thinking look. In the same way, the latest collection underscores Simons' reputation as a forerunner. Given this season many designers toyed with familiar menswear tropes, his reworkings of iconic American sportswear were in a league of their own; one bordeaux-red coatdress rendered in techno satin with a generous rounded shoulder and strict pencil-skirt line, was the chicest rendition of a varsity jacket one could imagine. Pieces like these are enough to tempt any woman back into the classroom, and since pre-fall precedes what is commonly known as the back-to-school season, this is higher learning indeed.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/3/2013 (1633 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CHICAGO -- Technology is supposed to make us easier to reach, and often does. But the same modes of communication that have hooked us on the instant reply also can leave us feeling forgotten.
We send an email, a text or an instant chat message. We wait -- and nothing happens. Or we make a phone call. Leave a voicemail message. Wait. Again, nothing.
We tend to assume it's a snub, and sometimes it is.
Erica Swallow, a 26-year-old New Yorker, says she's heard a former boyfriend brag about how many text messages he never reads. "Who does that?" she asks, exasperatedly.
These days, though, no response can mean a lot of things. Maybe some people don't see messages because they prefer email and you like Twitter. Maybe we're just plain overwhelmed, and can't keep up with the constant barrage of communication.
Whatever the reason, it's causing a lot of frustration. A recent survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found 39 per cent of cellphone owners say people they know complain because they don't respond promptly to phone calls or text messages. A third of cell owners also have been told they don't check their phones frequently enough.
It happens in love. It happens in business.
"Tell me to go to hell, but just tell me something! I'm getting lonely over here." That's what Cherie Kerr, a public relations executive in Santa Ana, Calif., jokes she's considered putting after her email signature.
It happens in families.
Last year, Terri Barr, a woman on Long Island, N.Y., with grown children, sent her son a birthday present -- a $350 gift certificate for "a wonderful kayaking trip for six, lunch, wine, equipment," she says.
She sent him an email with the details, but he didn't respond. She says she then telephoned and texted him to tell him it was a present. He eventually sent a one-line email, she says, telling her he was too swamped to open her email gift right then.
Instant communication "can be wonderful -- but also terrible," says Barr, who shared the story more as a lament of modern communication than a reprimand of her son, whose busy work life, she acknowledged, often takes him overseas.
So this year, she sent him a birthday gift by snail-mail in a box. "He actually opened it," she says, and they've been talking more frequently since then.
Many other people, though, sit waiting for responses that never come.
"That's where the frustration lies -- it's in the ambiguity," says Susannah Stern, a professor of communication studies at San Diego State University.
Though we often assume the worst, experts say we shouldn't.
Frequently, they say, people simply -- and unknowingly -- choose the wrong way to contact someone.
"I admit to having often been lax with checking my work number voicemail, which has led to me not responding to people waiting for my reply," says Janet Sternberg, an assistant professor of communication and media studies at Fordham University.
"The sheer management of all these devices and channels is exhausting and sometimes daunting, leaving less and less time for actual communication," Sternberg says. "We connect more but communicate less, in many ways."
That's why many people say they have no choice but to prioritize -- and to respond only to the most urgent messages.
That describes Mahrinah von Schlegel, who's working to launch a Chicago-based "incubator" that will offer shared office space and other resources for fledgling tech entrepreneurs.
"People get angry when not answered and send multiple messages," says von Schlegel, the 30-year-old managing director of the firm, known as Cibola. She says missed communication has caused her to lose some business deals. Often, it's when people try to contact her by Facebook or direct message on Twitter and she doesn't see the messages for days. Email, she says, is her preferred mode of communication.
But even then, she says, there are only so many hours in the day: "I still need time to eat and sleep and shower."
As she sees it, getting no response -- even when she's the one unsuccessfully trying to contact someone -- is just part of life in a high-tech world. A lot of young people say that, so they've become accustomed to having to try again, or try a different mode of communication if something is truly urgent.
Tech and communication experts agree choosing a primary means of communication, and letting it be known, is one way to improve communication.
San Francisco-based AwayFind Inc. is among companies that have developed applications that help filter email -- in this instance, alerting users to important emails on their mobile devices.
In the end, we can't possibly respond to everything, says Jared Goralnick, the company's founder and CEO, who's also part of a non-profit group called the Information Overload Research Group, which looks for ways to deal with out-of-control communication.
As he sees it, it's good to be responsive, "but not to set an expectation that you'll be available for everything."
"That's just not sustainable," he says.
In other words, if we're going to keep our sanity, we'll sometimes have to accept the no response.

The Hardy Boys
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Hardy Boys is a popular series of detective/adventure books for boys chronicling the fictional adventures of teenage "brothers" Matt and Jeff Hardy by Richard M. Nixon. Along with Nancy Drew and the Penthouse Letters, it ranks among the greatest American literature ever produced.
edit Origin of the Name
The exact origin of the name "Hardy Boys" is shrouded in mystery. The most popular theory is that Elvis Presley's brother Aron Presley had a roommate who got so inspired after watching a movie called Jude, (which had Kate Winslet doing oomphy things) and started a club called The Thomas Hardy Boys,(named after the writer of the novel Jude ), which Franklin W Dixon heard and named his crime-fighting brothers as the Hardy Boys.
Other suggestions as to the origin of the name hinge around the fact that the brothers were already in their mid 20s when the series started, of Hardy Boys.
Still another theory traces the Hardy Boys to 19th century literature. A popular episodic play called The Hardy Boys.
An unpublished manuscript called The Hardy Boys has been cataloged in the Oscar Wilde library, but the literary invention we know as the Hardy Boys has little to do with Wilde's characters. Except for the buggery.
edit The original series (1927–1979)
The first 58 stories and the 38 revisions, along with the Detective Handbook and its revision, are considered by many collectors to form the Hardy Boys canon.
edit Become Wrestlers
Matthew "Matt" and Jeffery: "Jeff" Hardy challenging the villains to TLC (Tables Ladders Chairs) wresting matches. Inspired by the Novels, they are the new Hardy Boys. They solved cases like the fake fur coats that MNM (Mercury Nitro and Melina) tried to pawn off to the public. They found the missing gold in the tag team championship matches. They solve the mysteries of the missing straight ladders during matches all the time, then jump off of them in a fit of joy that always looks cool.
They then gained notoriety as a tag team when they hooked up with Lita. During this time, Matthew became better, and ECW champ and was thus endorsed by the WWE for being able to wrestle! , which he did with a huge smile and relief. When he returned, Lita had left him for a Straight wrestler and future champion Edge. Thus Matthew became the BEST wrestler than he was before Internet wrestling fans like him ! Matt in rage brutally injuried Edge by jumping of a steel cage and landing on him. Also, dated Ashley Massaro to after Lita ditching him (which didn't work because Lita's frequent displays of "affection" with Edge would leave everyone hating her)
Jeff: in the meantime was released from WWE so he went to the now failing company, TNA. But, he eventually came back to WWE. As a result, he set his sights on world title gold and he FINALLY won the WWE tile at Armor-get-on so the WWE would look to CARE about all its wrestlers besides Triple H, John Cena, Undertaker and Trish Stratus.
Matt was fired by Teddy Long after offering Drew McIntyre a blowjob, so he went to the eat-all-you-can buffet table along with Big Show and Mark Henry and he became fat. Jeff went back to TNA. Matt Hardy's finisher is the Wrist of Late and Jeff Hardy's finisher is the Shlongton Bomb in TNA.
edit The MATTITUDE era
After Jeff Hardy left WWE, Matt Hardy gradually became estranged and isolated from the rest of the WWE locker room. Slowly, he began posting videos of himself online at YouTube and at expressing his feelings of isolation and his admiration for. As the videos became strange to many, including brother Jeff, thought for some time that Fatt Hardy was developing mental health issues due to the pressures of life. There then came a period of silence from Matt. However, Matt Hardy put all concerns to rest when he made a surprise entrance at TNA Wrestling in January 2011. Matt Hardy announced that he was fine and then Matt Hardy went on to heroically exclaim, "And so began the MATTITUED era...."

(based on a true story) Magazine
Photographs by David Alan Harvey.
BurnBooks, 2013. 136 pp., unbound magazine with 66 color illustrations, 15
Publisher's Description
'The prevailing ethos of photojournalism - as we have known it for the past 50 years - has been that the photographer should somehow be invisible, recording life with an objective, almost clinical dispassion. David Alan Harvey doesn't do dispassion. He wants to get closer, forge a bond so tight that subject learns as much from photographer as photographer learns from subject.
(based on a true story) is a collection of spectacular, mysterious moments. The story moves with fluidity and ease, all day and all night, through a city that is never named on a continent never specified. Is it journalism? Is it 'staged'? As the poet said: partly truth partly fiction, a walking contradiction.
The images explode with color, heat, humidity, sex, more sex, danger, fear, chaos, more chaos. There are sublime women that look like Greek statues, were the Greeks to ever have imagined those hips and that café au lait skin. There are monsters - masked paramilitaries with automatic weapons, a skeletal transvestite, her face a death mask grimace, drinking beer through a straw and smoking her cigarette down to the filter.
Harvey hits all the high points - even clichés - of Rio de Janeiro, but his treatment is subversive. Beaches, mountains, high society, favelas, jungles, voodoo; they're all here, but thrown together in a high-energy, digital montage that evokes the emerging aesthetic of Chaos Cinema.
The images tumble and boil in your mind, the way an intense foreign trip or a sexual adventure revisits through the blur of half-sleep. This is in no small measure the work of Bryan Harvey, David's son, collaborator and architect of the design.
It's critically important to know that Bryan is a filmmaker. Because while (based) might seem frenetic and challenging as a book, it flows naturally as a film - rising and falling, heating up, cooling down, speeding forward, slowing down, deafening one moment, a whisper the next. And because the images are slammed together without explanation or gentle transition, they jump out of the page - dynamic cinematic, wholly unpredictable.
Presented a diptych (a form that dates back at least as far as the Babylonians), our logical mind asks, how do I take this in, where should I go? Should I process the images as a set or de-construct the stack, following each half-image around to the back of the collection? There are no page numbers, only a handy map. Can I mix up the images and create my own version?
The answer is yes - to all of the above and pretty much anything else. The best way to read (based on a true story) - as with any genuine adventure - is to surrender. The Harvey Boys are taking you where they will. Give in and go along for the ride.
John Mathias Mitchem Venice, California'

Raspberry porridge
Today, I used the best part of my raspberry shopping for my summer second breakfast. I recommend it for those who only drink coffee in the morning. The rolled oats and chia seeds ensure that it satisfies our hunger very well, and the empty bowl means that you are sorry the dish was so small.
The inspiration for this dish comes from "Smaki życia" ("Flavour of Life") by Agnieszka Maciąg.
100g of raspberries
3 teaspoons of honey
3 tablespoons of rolled oats
2 teaspoons of chia seeds
3 teaspoons of natural yoghurt
raspberries, blueberries, banana slices, cashews, sesame seeds
Mix together the rolled oats with the chia seeds, pour in some hot water and leave for 20 minutes. Wash the raspberries and drain them. Leave a few nice bits of fruit for decoration. Blend the rest of the raspberries with the rolled oats, chia seeds and honey. Put it into a small bowl. Put the natural yoghurt on top. Decorate with the banana slices, blueberries, raspberries, sesame seeds and cashews.

My long-time Bullet gave up the ghost over the weekend and since we had a couple of free hours and were in the States...where the Walmarts are different from those in Canada...I went smoothie blender looking.
We found a suitable Hamilton Beach 'Go Sport' Blender and brought it home. The specs looked good and the price was just fine.
HOWEVER...two major flaws in this blender which are worth noting.
1. The blender bottle opening is quite narrow and I need a modified funnel to get my ingredients into it with ease. Rats. OK. I can do this.
2. And even worse. This unit has NO protected blending blades. That is, if you plug the unit in, put the cutting blades into the unit and turn the unit on and are being stupidly careless...as we have all been known to be...you can get your fingers cut to ribbons!! (No, I did not do it. Yet.) Now, the directions do tell you THE safe way to use the blender...but they don't make any reference to the fact that you...OR MORE IMPORTANTLY, A CHILD...could massacre their fingers in this unit. I was really surprised. I can't recall the last electrical kitchen appliance which was so open to misuse and accident. Almost all must have all the protective units in place before the blades will even work. You'd have to do something truly unusual to hurt yourself using one. (OK. Go ahead. Post all the exceptions to my statement. )
I post this just in case.

Does anyone have a recipe for Fake Bacon please?
I have been vegetarian now for about 3 months. So far it is going very well and I am looking to widen my range of recipes without meat. I am not sure that going down the path of making imitation meets is the best approach but I do enjoy vegetarian soy based sausages and mince (ground beef) - So perhaps an imitation bacon will be good too.
If you have any favourite recipes for fake bacon that you wish to share, that would be appreciated.

As far as I understand, noodles are a common breakfast dish throughout south-east Asia. Curry laksa, for example, is a breakfast noodle dish in Penang, Malaysia; commonly called curry mee by the locals. This is just one example I know of first hand, but I'm certain there are many others.
Do you know of other breakfast noodle dishes? Or books on the subject?
Keep in mind that I'm interested in noodle dishes specifically, not just any type of breakfast. I'll keep that broader topic for a different thread.

TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
It's some kind of animal, and someone killed it — On June 20, a Cherokee County game warden received information from his partner about a deer carcass that had been dumped on a county road. The game warden proceeded to contact a local county constable, who had the person in custody for illegal dumping of televisions and the deer carcass. The game warden interviewed the Jacksonville man, who said he found the deer on his property and just wanted it off his property. The game warden went to the subject's house and found where the deer had been cleaned and found quartered deer meat in the freezer. The subject told the game warden the meat was from a butchered cow. He later confessed that he did not shoot the deer but let his friend clean the deer at his house. The game warden and constable made contact with the friend. He confessed to shooting the deer, but said he thought the deer was a goat. Cases pending.
The toughest call a game warden gets — As marine safety enforcement officers, game wardens respond to all Texas boating accident calls and numerous drownings and near-drownings. The most difficult of those cases to work are the ones involving children. In mid-June, central Texas game wardens responded to a call about a missing 8-year-old boy last seen on a sand bar in Lake Buchanan. Game wardens, LCRA rangers and area dive teams searched lake until dark with no success. The next day at daylight, the wardens were hampered by storms for a few hours then hit the water with drags. A Department of Public Safety helicopter was called in to assist due to shallow and clear water conditions. The young boy surfaced during the search and was recovered by game wardens Saturday afternoon.
Never was much good at math — On June 16, Aransas County game wardens apprehended a commercial bait shrimp boat with 2,600 croaker over his legal limit of 1,500. When asked how many corake he had, the captain stated that he had exactly 1,500. The game wardens asked him if he was sure, because they were about to count them. The captain allowed as how he might have a few over his limit. Cases pending.
Crowded waterways call for extra care — On June 4, game wardens from Clay and Wichita Counties responded to a boating accident on Lake Arrowhead involving a 5-year-old boy who was swimming next to a boat while holding on to a ski rope. The rope, which was wrapped around the boy's leg, was caught by another passing boat, causing partial amputation of the boy's leg just below the knee. The game wardens were within 1,000 yards of the accident and assisted the victim and his family off the lake and to the hospital within five minutes of the accident. The victim's prognosis for recovery was said to be good.
Lunker citation for poacher — In early June a Coryell County game warden received information about a subject who, although under a license suspension for killing a 200-class white-tailed deer at night, had been participating in fishing tournaments. The subject had fished in a tournament on Lake Belton and won first place, and the game warden found that he was going to fish in another tournament June 11th and June 12th. The Coryell County game warden, along with a game warden from Bell County, both were in attendance at the 2 a.m. tournament weigh-in. The subject gave the wardens a written statement, and a Class A misdemeanor charge of fish while license suspended is pending.
Could be they had too much to drink — Three game wardens stopped a boat on Lake LBJ early in the evening of June 9 and observed 38 empty beer cans in the boat and an extremely intoxicated operator. The subject could not figure out how to put on a suspender PFD and had it on backwards with the collar over his forehead. After assistance from the wardens, the suspect was taken to the bank where he performed poorly on the SFSTs and was transported to Llano County Jail. The passenger was arrested for public intoxication after he was observed to have difficulty just standing in the boat. The operator, the passenger, two dogs (apparently sober), boat, trailer and vehicle all ended up in jail or impound.
That had to be a sinking feeling — On June 5, the Camp County sheriff contacted the local game warden and requested help in the recovery of a vehicle sunk in Lake Bob Sandlin. The proud owner of a 2006 F-150 Ford pickup had driven to his lake house to retrieve a battery charger. He got out of his truck and turned around in time to see the truck race down the hill and into the lake. The truck floated for a short time before it sank approximately 50 feet from shore in 15 feet of water. The game warden was asked to SCUBA dive and connect a chain to the bumper hitch. When the vehicle was pulled from the lake, it was discovered that gearshift was in reverse instead of park. The vehicle had only 5,000 miles on the odometer and a beautiful leather interior.

Hot off the press! We've just released our Digital Campus 2013 report, which reveals that universities still have a way to go in making students feel they are getting value for money following the tuition fees rise.
Specifically, students from this year's intake are pinpointing the provision of suitable libraries and technology as the main areas needing improvement, with two-thirds (63%) saying they expected to have access to more support facilities and services than they are actually getting.
Despite the fact that 96% of students said the number one reason they chose to go to university was to increase their chances of getting a job when they graduate, only a third (33%) think their university will help them do this now.
As a result, we are calling on Vice Chancellors to review their ICT strategies to help live up to their student's digital demands. Click on the infographic below to view all the key findings in detail:

How to Choose A DVD Player
Loren Barstow started at Crutchfield in 1999. After working a few years as a sales advisor, he moved on to become a writer and then an editor. He has written about televisions, Blu-ray players, speakers, and various other audio/video components.
More from Loren Barstow
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
A good DVD player is the biggest bang-for-the-buck improvement you can make to your home entertainment system. DVD movies look amazingly crisp, clear, and detailed — only HDTV delivers a more realistic viewing experience at home. And the Dolby® Digital soundtracks on DVDs provide theater-quality surround sound. [Shop for a DVD player.]
Whether you're shopping for your first player, or replacing one that's a few years old, today's DVD players can add a lot to your home theater. In addition to the usual tape-free convenience, DVD players offer high-quality audio and video connections for amazingly crisp, clear images and absorbing surround sound. Plus, they offer a wealth of other features like MP3 playback and video upconversion. Below we'll discuss the features and functions that make today's DVD players so versatile, and what to look for to fit your needs.
What type of player do you need?
"I have a high-definition TV."
Solution: Blu-ray Disc™ player. This high-definition disc format is designed to maximize the viewing experience available from today's HDTVs. Blu-ray discs boast high-resolution video up to 1080p, as well as new, more detailed surround sound formats. Blu-ray players can also play DVDs, and most can play CDs as well. For more information, check out our article about Blu-ray.
You might also want to consider a DVD player with video upconversion. These players can upconvert DVD video to a resolution that more closely matches that of your HDTV. The signal remains digital as it travels through digital video connections to your compatible high-def TV for the cleanest possible transfer. (For more information, see "Digital Video and Upconversion" below.)
"I watch a lot of DVDs and listen to a lot of CDs."
Solution: Multi-disc changer. Many DVD fans are satisfied with a single-disc player, but a multi-disc DVD changer gives you the same great picture and sound quality while expanding your entertainment options. DVD players are so good at playing music CDs that you'll no longer need a separate CD player. And a multi-disc DVD changer lets you keep several discs "on deck." Choose from carousel models that hold a handful of discs, or larger mega-changers with room for up to 400 discs. They also have handy memory and search functions that make it easy to find the disc you want. You can save a lot of shelf space by simply storing your CDs and DVDs in a mega-changer.
"I still have a lot of VHS tapes."
Solution: DVD/VCR combo unit. Combo players are perfect for people trying to bridge the gap between their VHS and DVD collections. At affordable prices, these popular 2-in-1 components offer all the familiar conveniences of a VCR, with the stunning movie and music quality of a DVD player. Most DVD/VCR combos even include a DVD recorder, so you can use the unit's built-in timer to record TV shows to either VHS or DVD. You can also enjoy crystal-clear DVD movie playback or jam to your collection of audio CDs — all with one simple component.
"I want to archive my VHS tapes."
Solution: DVD recorder. DVD recorders offer convenient tape-free recording, along with all the functionality of a DVD player. Record your favorite sitcom at the touch of a button, or back up home movies on durable, high-quality DVDs. And with a variety of write-once and rewriteable formats available, it's easy to find the right disc for the right job. For more information on DVD recorders and recordable DVD formats, check out our DVD recorder shopping guide.
"I travel a lot."
Solution: Portable DVD player. Portable DVD players offer home entertainment on the go — perfect for frequent travelers, or those with young, impatient passengers on long family car trips. Compact and lightweight, a lot of portable players also offer dual headphone jacks, allowing more than one person to enjoy the show. In addition to rechargeable batteries, features like 12-volt power adapters and car mounting kits make some portable players very car-friendly.
Other considerations
All those audio disc formats: CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, DVD-Audio and SACD
In addition to playing regular CDs, many DVD players can also play music discs you record yourself on a CD recording deck or computer CD-R/W drive. Current DVD players can play CD-R (recordable CD) and CD-RW (rewriteable CD) discs, including MP3 files burned to CD-R/RW. Some can also play WMA (Windows® Media Audio) files.
A lot of new models are also able to play either DVD-Audio discs or Super Audio CDs (SACDs) — and a few "universal" models can play both. These competing high-resolution formats capture subtle details that make music sound richer and more real. Both are capable of delivering 5.1-channel music that surrounds you. There are now over 3,500 SACD titles available, and well over 700 for DVD-Audio. For more information, see our SACD and DVD Audio article.
Making the right connections
A big part of choosing the right DVD player is making sure it has all the necessary video and audio connections to perform to its full potential with your other A/V gear. Below, we'll discuss the connections you'll find on current players.
Nearly all current DVD players include at least three types of video jacks (from basic to best quality): composite, S-video, and component. If your TV lacks any type of direct A/V input and only has an antenna-style RF input, you'll need to install an RF modulator between the DVD player and TV. You also might want to consider a DVD/VCR combo, since some combos can pass DVD signals through their RF output. For more details, see the video connections tips in our DVD FAQ.
Digital video and upconversion
Some DVD players can upconvert DVD signals to resolutions that match those of HDTVs, and send them to a compatible TV via a digital video connection. HDMI (High-Definition Media Interface) and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) both offer high-quality digital transmission of standard- and high-definition video signals. HDMI can also carry multichannel audio, and is backwards compatible with DVI (video only).
Current players include a digital audio output — optical, coaxial, or both. This connection enables them to send Dolby Digital or DTS signals to your A/V receiver for decoding into multichannel surround sound.
Some models also have built-in decoding, with 5.1-channel analog audio outputs to connect directly to any receiver with multichannel inputs (frequently, these models also play multichannel DVD-Audio or SACD discs). A few high-end players are equipped with IEEE 1394 jacks (also known as FireWire or i.LINK®); these single-cord connections can carry 5.1-channel music to a compatible receiver. All DVD players also include standard stereo audio jacks for connecting to stereo receivers and stereo TVs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/2/2013 (1658 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
As it enters its 26th season of exotic-locale outwitting, outlasting and outplaying, it could fairly be argued that the most impressive survival story in TV's most enduring reality/competition show is Survivor itself.
For more than a dozen years, the Mark Burnett-produced series has been a staple of CBS's (and, in Canada, Global's) schedule, delivering solid ratings and giving the network(s) at least two reliable programming cycles per year.
The latest instalment is Survivor: Caramoan -- Fans vs. Favorites. As the title suggests, it's the latest spin on Survivor's oft-employed strategy of bringing back players from earlier seasons to compete against newly minted castaways.
The "Favorites" camp (nickname: Bikal) is actually a fairly nondescript bunch of returnees, led by jittery Brandon Hantz (nephew of all-time baddie Russell Hantz), nerdy Survivor geek John Cochran and Philippines superstar Malcolm Freberg.
The fan roster (nickname: Gota) includes a fast-food restaurant franchisee, a BMX bike-store owner, a firefighter/EMT, a racecar driver and an Iraq-war veteran, along with the usual mix of bartenders, students and salespeople (read: out-of-work actors).
What will happen when the tribes are set free in their temporary tropic-isle home probably won't surprise anyone, because the Survivor format only receives minor tweaking from season to season. But for the show's legions of loyal fans, it's the sort of familiar fun that's worth tuning in again and again.
Why is Survivor such a survivor? Here are a few reasons for its enduring popularity:
1. Casting
Burnett and his crew have demonstrated time after time that they're experts at selecting (and, in many cases, recruiting) just the right blend of players to create conflict and drama. It's true that they favour stereotypes in their casting process, but the end result is almost always a watchable mix of heroes and villains.
2. Location, location, location
As he did in his pre-Survivor production effort, Discovery Channel's Eco-Challenge adventure races, Burnett takes viewers to exotic locations that are both breathtaking (especially since Season 17, when the series started shooting in high definition) and dangerous. Oh, and the tropical climates and scantily clad players don't hurt the show's ratings, either (which is why you won't see Survivor: Flin Flon anytime soon).
3. Evolution
While it has never strayed far from its original blueprint, Survivor has shown a willingness to adapt and update in order to keep viewers interested. Immunity idols, Exile Island, favourite-player returns and tribe-makeup tinkering have all played a part in keeping the series fresh.
4. Wish fulfilment
For every person who submits and audition tape and actually gets chosen to play the game, there are thousands of at-home fans who dream of joining the castaway crowd but opt to live vicariously through the few who make the leap from couch to camp. And for them, the adventure never gets old.
5. Human nature
Despite the fact it has endured a dozen years and 26 seasons, and spawned an entire generation of fans and prospective players who study the game obsessively, Survivor remains a foolproof (or perhaps, fool-friendly) concept. No matter how much the players think they know about strategy, once they're on the island, deprived of food and exposed to the elements and insects, they make the same dumb mistakes as everyone who came before.
6. Jeff Probst
The former quizmaster on Rock 'n' Roll Jeopardy has really grown into his role as Survivor's host and tribal-council inquisitor (behind the scenes, he's also an executive producer of the series). He directs traffic effortlessly and knows just what to say in order to maximize the drama and poke fun at the inevitable silliness.

Survivor Hall of Fame/Shame
One observer's pick of TV's Top 5 castaways:
1. Rob Mariano -- first appeared in Season 4 (Survivor: Marquesas); eventually competed in four seasons, won the million-dollar prize in Season 22 (Redemption Island). Also got the girl -- met wife-to-be Amber Brkich on Survivor: All Stars -- and parlayed his Survivor experience into a career as a professional reality-TV star (including two appearances on The Amazing Race).
2. Sandra Diaz-Twine -- first appeared in Season 7 (Pearl Islands); not a particularly memorable personality, but the first person to win the Sole Survivor title twice (Pearl Islands, Heroes vs. Villains).
3. Richard Hatch -- the original Survivor villain from Season 1; set the template for everything that followed by recognizing Survivor as a social game as much as an endurance test. Hatch was the first to form alliances and manipulate his opponents' emotions and thoughts.
4. Russell Hantz -- first appeared in Season 19 (Samoa); while he isn't Survivor's best-ever player as he claims, Hantz remains one of its top villains and was the first to search out hidden immunity idols before receiving a single clue. Eventually competed in three editions of Survivor.
5. Rupert Boneham -- first appeared in Season 7 (Pearl Islands) and made an immediate impact by stealing the opposing tribe's shoes; eventually became one of Survivor's biggest personalities and most beloved players. Competed three times; didn't win, but collected a million-dollar prize after being named most popular player in Survivor: All Stars.

The American Antiquarian Society has a very strong collection of published genealogical material focusing on early North American lines of descent, including French-Canadian genealogies. Not only is this collection used by genealogists but it is also used extensively by scholars working on biographical, historical, and literary topics. Currently, the collection numbers over 17,000 family histories, plus 2,000 genealogical reference works. The Society adds to the collection by purchase and donations. Genealogical acquisitions are partly funded by the following endowments: George Chandler (1884), Bernard Christian Steiner (1926) and Dorothy Brewer Erikson (1998). Eleanor Adams, the retired Executive Assistant to the President, established a fund in 1997 for the purchase of genealogy and New England local history.
The collection includes some of the earliest genealogies published in the United States: Roger Clap's Memoirs of Capt. Roger Clap (Boston, 1731), which includes a "short account of the author and his family," compiled by James Blake, Jr.; Luke Stebbins's Genealogy of the Family of Samuel Stebbins (Hartford, 1771); John Farmer's A Family Register of the Descendants of Edward Farmer (Concord, N.H., 1813); Anthony Haswell's Record of the Family of Anthony Haswell (Bennington, Vt., 1815); and Joseph Sharpless's Family Record of the Sharpless Family (Philadelphia, 1816). More information pertaining to the Society's collection of early genealogies can be found in volume 32 of the Proceedings (1922).
All the family histories in the Society's possession are fully cataloged, with access by author and by all the major families traced in the book. The genealogical reference materials also are cataloged, with many of them available on open shelves in the reading room. The reading room collection includes the 240-volume series of vital records of Massachusetts towns to 1850, the New England Historic Genealogical Register, lineage books published by the Daughters of the American Revolution, Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War, Mayflower materials, and P. William Filby's Passenger and Immigration Lists Index (Detroit, 1981). Of particular help is the American Genealogical- Biographical Index (Middletown, Conn., 1952-). This series indexes 631 family histories by personal names. The Society owns 591 of the titles indexed, and, to assist reader usage, the consolidated "Key Title Index" to this series has been annotated with the library's call numbers. One reference that is of particular interest for genealogical research in Worcester County is the Works Progress Administration's "A Biographical Index to Worcester and Worcester County" (typescript, 1935). This work indexes ten standard histories by the personal names of the major figures who lived in this area.
Bibles with manuscript notes entered by family members are an excellent and often overlooked source of information for genealogists. The Society has a collection of these Bibles, with access provided in the catalog by family name.
The Society has a wide spectrum of auxiliary materials available for genealogical research. These include state, county, and local histories for all fifty states, biographies, United States histories, regimental histories, Canadian histories, periodicals of local historical societies and state libraries, and city directories. Another excellent source of genealogical information is the Society's collection of newspapers. The Society's typescript "Index to Marriages in Massachusetts Centinel and Columbian Centinel, 1784-1840," and the "Index to Deaths in Massachusetts Centinel and Columbian Centinel, 1784-1840," are two widely used indices that are available in the reading room.
The Society also owns a set of clippings of the genealogical column "Notes and Queries," which ran in the Boston Transcript from 1894 to 1941. This is a very good source for genealogical information pertaining to New England for the period 1600-1800. The Society's collection of these articles is arranged in boxes by date of publication, and indexed by name in The American Genealogical-Biographical Index.
There are a number of genealogical sources available in microform. In addition to the microfilm series Early American Newspapers by Readex Microprint Corporation, there are two useful microfiche series that are of value to genealogists: Jay Mack Holbrook's Massachusetts Vital Records which continues the earlier published records up to 1890 and American Directories produced by Research Publications, Inc. which includes all the directories listed in Dorothea Spear's Bibliography of American Directories through 1860. We have recently acquired the 2nd series titled "City Directories of the United States, 1861-1880" in microfilm.
There is a small but growing collection of genealogical materials on CD ROM: the New England Historical and Genealogical Register and Tanquay's Dictionnaire Genealogique des Families Candiennes.
In order to derive maximum benefit from the Society's genealogical collections, readers are encouraged to do preliminary work before using the collections.

Quality Sushi Made With Love
Ora is the Korean word for "come again, or welcome" and it is the perfect name for this new Moncton Street restaurant. Ora Sushi owner June Shim personifies the business name with her welcoming and gracious manner.
After an extensive floor to ceiling renovation Ora Sushi opened in early August and the response has been tremendous.
Shim is no stranger to restaurant ownership. Customers who were familiar with her former business, Kimchi Nara Korean BBQ, are delighted to discover she has embarked on a new venture. She operated Kimchi Nara Korean BBQ in downtown Richmond for 10 years. Subsequently, she worked as a manager of a local sushi restaurant for three years and then decided it was time to return to her favourite place, the kitchen, and run her own business.
Past clients are delighted that she has opened a new restaurant. Ora Sushi has also established a new and enthusiastic clientele who are discovering why her cooking has earned such an excellent reputation.
Her passion for food and her culinary talent stems from having grown up in the food industry. She reveals her mother is also an amazing cook and her parents owned a restaurant in Korea. Shim loves to garden and grows many different kinds of Korean herbs and vegetables in her backyard.
She feels extremely happy when she cooks and derives joy from meeting customers. Regarding owning her business she says, "It is a much more satisfying personal stake."
Locals and visitors alike are discovering Ora Sushi's tasty and artfully presented dishes.
This new enterprise is a detour from her former Korean BBQ as sushi takes the spotlight on the menu. All of the sauces are made in house. Quality is of utmost importance to her. She insists on using only wild caught Pacific salmon and red tuna and she begins each day by visiting local vegetable markets to select produce.
The Nori (seaweed) is premium quality without the use of coatings or artificial preservatives. Ora Sushi uses premium Japanese sushi rice, low sodium soya sauce, and natural ginger. Some gluten free dishes are offered. In addition to a focus on health conscious food, Ora Sushi strives to provide a friendly, welcoming, personal dining experience.
She says, "I am always thinking about cooking and the presentation of food."
Presentation is most certainly a huge part of the Ora Sushi experience. All selections are artfully arranged on Villeroy and Boch German porcelain and on unique Japanese serving plates.
Fun names for some of the signature special rolls include the Crazy Roll, Mr. Big Roll, Monster Bite and 911. Speaking of the Crazy Roll, it is crazy good. I have not been able to stop thinking about this delicious, crispy, warm signature California roll with its three sauces.
Another highly recommended specialty, the Golden Roll, is cooked in a cast iron pan and is comprised of avocado, cucumber, imitation crab, baked salmon and tobiko with cheese on top.
If you are a sushi novice the Caterpillar Roll as a good place to begin. It contains asparagus, imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber with sliced avocado.
The extensive menu offers a large selection of appetizers such as Chicken Yakatori, Grilled Mussels, "Monkey Brain" (deep fried avocado with crab meat), Oyster Motoyaki (grilled oysters with veggies, mayo and cheese) and Ebi Gyoza.
The menu features a few favourites from her past business such as Bibimbap, Kalbi BBQ beef and Udon. Maki sushi, sashimi, nigiri sushi and noodle dishes round out the extensive menu. Bento boxes and set lunches and dinners are also featured.
Shim and her husband, local RE/MAX realtor Kevin McDowell, met in Korea in 1992 and have lived in Richmond since 1997. They have two grown children, one is finishing high school, and the other is attending university. Both their son and daughter work at the business part-time.
Although fully immersed in her new business she still finds time to be actively involved with the two churches her family attends. The family belongs to the Korean Jireh Presbyterian Church in Vancouver and also Trinity Lutheran Church in Richmond. She regularly donates her time to the Korean fellowship committee that provides hot lunches on a weekly basis. She says, "Food is a part of my life and I like making people happy."
The response from local merchants has been tremendous; neighbouring business owners regularly pop in to order lunch to go.
The holiday season will soon be here. If you are entertaining at home consider impressing your guests with an Ora Sushi party tray. Open six days a week for lunch and dinner (consult the website for hours), this Steveston newcomer deserves a big welcome – and an even bigger thank you for choosing the village to set up shop!
