My goodness these are lovely! That pink looks like one of my favorite occ lip tars! & I find I can usually catch a color more accurately at an angle but perhaps that's just me?ReplyDelete
I was thinking about that OCC lip tar. If you have that color you probably don't need the NARS one since lip tars seem to last forever! Thanks for the FB on the lip swatches!Delete
Awesome swatches & pretty colors! And I say go for the angled lip pics--they look great.
Thanks for the FB on the lip swatches!Delete
Oh my, aren't these lovely! The texture looks fab and the shades or gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Fantabulous! these new babies need to come home with me now. I agree I am not a fan of the pencil thing as my other Nars pencil got 'smushy' when I attempted a sharpen. These colours look amazing on you!ReplyDelete
Thanks! Have you tried the cold storage before sharpening trick. Putting the pencils in the fridge or freezer? I have been told that works, but I have a hard time planning that far ahead. LOLDelete
These look lovely. At first, I didn't think I'll like Lodhi based on the swatch, but I actually really like how it looks on your lips.ReplyDelete
You think so? I think it might look better with a gloss over top to tone down the milky finish.Delete
I can't wait for my Yu to get here <3ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see how it looks on you! Or should I say Yu! Please post a link here if you review it! ♥Delete
I'll take them all please!ReplyDelete
I know, right? Have you seen other colors? I think I might need a few more!Delete
These colors are great although I agree with you on point b. As for pictures I prefer full frontal. The angle makes your lips look lopsided to me.ReplyDelete
I hear ya. I think I'm going to pick up the NARS pencil sharpener just to make sure I'm using the right tool for these pencils. I'm also going to put them in the fridge before sharpening. Hopefully that will help! Thanks for the FB about the lip swatch!Delete
I'm not crazy about any of the new pencils, really. I feel so alone! Majella is my favorite of all the shades, but it looks so different on everyone I've seen it on.
As for the lip swatch angle, I like this 3/4 one. But I like new things generally.
Well, don't feel bad. Think of it as you're saving $25! And maybe NARS will have more colors in the future. :-) Thanks for the FB on the lip swatch!Delete
Lordy, I need that Majella shade, it's gorgeous. Am put off though by having to sharpen lip pencils - I may just abandon them once they get all nubby and move on to the next.ReplyDelete
I actually prefer side views of mouth on lipstick swatches. I don't know why. Since it would be easier for you to photograph why not ;)ReplyDelete
I am inlove with Yu!
I can't wait for this to reach my Pacific Island counters! :)
Would you say it's similar to Chanel RA Extatique?
Oh wow, I adore all three shades, including Lodhi! They look amazing on your lips... I know for me, anything moisturizing tends to settle into the fine lines of my lips, but these didn't do these at all for you which is really amazingReplyDelete
Yes, I do need these. I need these now, especially Yu.ReplyDelete

Bury 81
Heckmondwike 63
Bury, searching for their first victory of the season, staged four matches in front of a good crowd on Sunday.
There was stern opposition for the senior team as Heckmondwike visited for a Division One fixture, with the Watsons, Tom Whitwam and Darren Kent familiar visitors to Goshen. It all went wrong for the home side, as Isordvek raced away from Chris Parish and Danny Taylor's wheel duly collapsed as the visitors took a 6-3 lead. Dawid Renc moved next time out, with Adam Watson leading home Neil Howarth and Summersgill as the home side trailed by six points after two races.
Ben Scranage and James Elston raced to a tactical six points in the third, then Taylor and Renc raced to a maximum in the next race. A second race win from Scranage over Heckmondwike's flying pole Isordvek, with Howarth pressuring throughout, gave the hosts breathing space.
Great team racing from Parish and Taylor, then Scranage and Elston, gave Bury two maximums.
The visitors hit back in race eight as Bury led 41-36 with the result in the balance. The youngsters, Taylor and Elston, took the ninth with a good team ride. A much-improved Parish took race 10 as Bury raced into a 10-point lead. However, the next race saw Scranage back in the pits as the visitors took a good 6-3 over Elston. Darren Kent took the 12th race for the Yorkshire team but a determined Bury secured the points with Parish/Taylor and Elston/Renc scoring seven pointers.
Race 15 produced a cracker as Scranage, Parish and Isordvek served up four terrific laps of racing.
Parish took the win with Scranage in third as Bury ran out deserved victors.
Chris Parish 17, Danny Taylor 15, Ben Scranage 14, James Elston 13, Neil Howarth 10 and Dawid Renc 11.
Bury 88
Glasgow 59
Glasgow were the visitors for a Northern Divison Two fixture and some good tactical racing saw Bury edge into a six point lead after three races.
Adam Turnbull and Joe Halloran then posted a fine seven pointer before Glasgow's top rider McDougall took a good win in the eighth.
With Bury comfortably in front, Louis Turner moved at the start in race nine. Turnbull was in the lead for three laps but lost out as the visitors fought back to win the race 7-2.
Elston and Renc quickly responded, while Taylor continued his winning run and young Turner moved again. It was a great race 12 as Halloran joined Renc at the front, then Steve Mann raced into a good second in the 13th as Bury closed out the match with a 88-59 winning margin.
Danny Taylor 20, James Elston 14, Dawid Rec 17, Joe Halloran 15, Steve Mann 9, Adam Turnbull 11, Louis Turner 2.
The Division Three match was a resounding victory for Bury as Glasgow could not bring their youngsters. Both Adam Turnbull and Louis Turner raced to 16 points and there were also high scores from Bradley Sullivan, Charlie Thacker and Sean Etheridge.

A vision of an emotionally drained, dysfuctional suburban American family hopelessly mired in Vietnam and the Watergate scandal and ineffectually coping with wife-swapping and barbiturates.
With his fifth feature film in five years, Ang Lee seems incapable of making a less than outstanding movie. Following his winning Taiwanese Father Knows Best trilogy - Pushing Hands, The Wedding Banquet, Eat Drink Man Woman - and his scrumptious journey in Jane Austen's Sense And Sensibility, he again explores a family's heartbeat and cross-generational conflict. But the time period and geography are something else again. This is an almost cringe-makingly detailed trip through middle-class confusion in 1970s Connecticut, beautifully adapted from Rick Moody's highly-regarded novel by Lee's regular producer James Schamus.
Kevin Kline is Ben Hood, the father who is trying but doesn't have a clue, like all around him in an America that has broken morally and spiritually adrift. His carefully coiffed wife Elena (Allen) looks like a Stepford robot but is getting itchy for some liberated self-realisation. His neighbour Janey (Weaver) is the swinger next door who makes her waterbed freely available to him while denying him any warmth that may lurk beneath her cold, brittle indifference.
Simultaneously, Ben and Elena's teenaged son (Tobey Maguire), en route from prep school for the Thanksgiving holiday, is having a Holden Caulfield weekend and pubescent daughter (Ricci) is playing "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" with the anxious, oddball boys next door (Elijah Wood and Adam Hann-Byrd).
Lee's vision of an emotionally drained suburban America hopelessly mired in Vietnam and the Watergate scandal and ineffectually coping with wife-swapping and barbiturates, confirms the 70s as the most excruciating style decade of the century, the totally tragic duds emblematic of the mass inability to get a grip.
The film scores insights both in sharply observed social satire and poignantly universal details of sexual longing in the interwoven tales of parental mid-life crises and teen angst. But Lee's most impressive achievement is his almost imperceptible shift from sex farce to achingly funny youth drama to profound tragedy and despair as the approaching winter freeze of the title mirrors the family's emotional chill and the devastation it brings. The dazzling ensemble perfectly captures every nuance in one of the finest acting showcases you could hope for.
The real beauty of this film is the way in which Ang Lee shifts his story from sex farce to youth drama to tragic despair with the help of a perfect ensemble cast.

A building has partially collapsed in Norbury, injuring two people.
The Metropolitan Police are advising motorists and pedestrians to stay away from London Road after the roof above Rage hairdressers fell in at about 11.45 am today.
A London Ambulance spokeswoman said one man suffered a head injury and was taken to St George's Hospital as a priority.
Another man went to Croydon Hospital with a foot injury.
The building has been declared unsafe and surrounding buildings have been evacuated.
A worker from Eva Hair and Beauty, opposite to where the building collapsed, said: "There were police, fire engines, ambulances - everything was here.
"Everything is closed now. It's very quiet. There's only the police and a few firemen.
"We were told to close and we thought we might be able to reopen this afternoon, but now we're going home."
A police spokesman said London Road was closed in both directions "and would be for some time".

Report: Three teams interested in Shanahan package deal
Three teams are considering reuniting former Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan with his son, Kyle, as part of a package deal, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.
Kyle Shanahan is currently the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns and is still under contract with the team. According to the report, the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills are considering hiring both Shanahans, with Mike as the head coach and Kyle as the offensive coordinator.
The two spent four seasons with the Redskins before parting ways with the franchise at the end of the 2013 season. The three interested teams have interviewed the elder Shanahan, who did not coach last year.
Before his stint with Washington, Shanahan went 138-86 during his 14 seasons with the Denver Broncos, coaching the team to two Super Bowl titles. He also coached the Raiders in the late '80's.
Cleveland's offense this season ranked 23th overall in Kyle Shanahan's first season with the team and dealt with injuries to center Alex Mack and tight end Jordan Cameron. The team also had to contend with wide receiver Josh Gordon's suspension for the majority of the season.
The Browns were also plagued by inconsistent quarterback play from veteran Brian Hoyer and rookie Johnny Manziel. The team finished 7-9, the 12th straight season Cleveland has missed the playoffs.

spoiler warning? Edit
I think that there should be a spoiler warning or some kind of red highlighted text or such for this article since Whiskey is a pretty big topic. Unlike Lonleyhearts, where some info can be given, almost everything about Whiskey is a big detail in season 1's plotline. Do we have a spoiler tag? I find them to be really helpful, especially for new people to something who some info but not everything if they were late to it. Lying 08:55, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- Isn't that why we have a spoiler warning on the first page of this wiki? Y'know, to warn people that ANY page on this wiki may contain spoilers?
- - Gnostic 01:24, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- Helpful if you intentionally seek out the main page of a wiki to start from instead of coming straight to a content page from Googling what you're actually looking for. --188.8.131.52 16:20, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
- - Gnostic 01:24, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- We do have spoiler tag applied at he beginning of the article. There's really nothing more we can do. If someone is googling "Whiskey" after the minor reference to that name in "Briar Rose", then that person should be aware that looking for stuff like that might reveal what the hint is about. If a person doesn't wanna know what the hint is about, then it's probably not wise to google it.--— Wiesengrund (talk) 16:44, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
Whiskey's True Identity? Edit
I'm totally calling it, guys. Whiskey is Topher's sister. That's why he made her hate him as Saunders, guilt at her being hurt, punishing himself etc. Also the reason that a 'fraidy-cat like Topher is would remain in the Dollhouse, despite all the dramas and danger (well, that and satiating his ego). Ponk 14:47, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think Topher's that depraved. If Whiskey were his sister, I think he would probably have arranged for her to be released from her contract after she was attacked. He has the clout, after all; After Alpha's rampage, he became the only programmer left, so he could have easily threatened to quit in order to strong-arm DeWitt into letting her go. Besides that, I don't think DeWitt would have let him work at the Dollhouse in the first place if there was a risk of him becoming attached to one of the dolls. My guess is, he wanted to recycle Whiskey after Alpha tore up her face, while DeWitt wanted to send her up to the attic. DeWitt had suspicions about Topher's motives for keeping Whiskey around (maybe she suspected Topher wanted to make Whiskey his own personal doll) so she insisted that Topher imprint Whiskey with a deep-seated disdain for him.
- - Gnostic 01:50, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe she wasn't programmed to hate him, maybe she came to that conclusion on her own. Perhaps the original Dr. Saunders hated Topher, and he couldn't remove it without making her a worse doctor. Just because she thinks Topher programmed her that way doesn't mean she was.
- Maybe Whiskey is the friend he recreates once a year, like he did with Sierra, he lost touch with her after Uni, maybe he loved her. He 'sees' her again in the dollhouse, after he joined, and may explain his pretend 'I don't care' to the dolls. He thinks she chose the House over him. When he sees the chance to give her a real identity, he can't have them be friends, as he used to really know her. As she was then, she would have hated him for not helping her, making her a dr stops her from the sex slave/whatever but does not give her what she lost... herself.
- I thought she found information about her imprint, including her hatred for Topher, when she hacked into her profile. She sounded confused and angry when she said she didn't understand why it was so important for her to hate Topher, which doesn't sound like it was a natural hate, but rather something she finds, as she says, "strange". Whedonfan 04:22, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- He says she didn't look at everything on the computer. (She says it's because she knows who she is.) I got the impression she only went far enough to see that there was information on her as a doll, because it was just that one fact that Alpha and Dominic made her question. So she's probably hated him as long as she can remember and assumes that that, like remembering wanting to be a doctor her whole life and like the rest of her personality, must be the imprint.
- The skill Topher has shown picking and choosing what to do with imprints makes it very difficult to believe that making a good doctor who the Dollhouse can trust required leaving in the part where Saunders hates him. I also don't think we'd get such a dramatic scene, at the end of the season no less, so obviously meant to make us ask this question if the answer was something so mundane. --220.127.116.11 16:18, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm guessing Whiskey was probably one of the people from the jail when they first started the Dollhouse. A criminal like Alpha before he was a Doll. Maybe Topher just thought of it because the real Dr. Saunders was murdered after Alpha's composite event. Spur of the moment?
- I've been trying to think on how to answer this, because I honestly don't understand what your saying (at least, I don't think so), as for the first part? Possibly, I myself considered this and it is hinted that Whiskey is a "first generation" Active, and the first generation did (by Adelle's admission) tend to be ex-prisoners. There's also some evidence that she wasn' as such, considering Topher's "Why don't you find out who you were?" moments. As for the rest, what do you mean, why he made her Claire Saunders? That was explained several times in season 2, I'd recommend watching "Vows" if you haven't seen it, in addition to "The Left Hand" (Or perhaps it was "The Public Eye")--Terran Officer 07:04, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Whisky / Topher Edit
I all so think Whisky is Topher's sister, i'm allso speculating that he blames himself or was the cause of a accident which left he's sister in a Vegetative State, hence he's interest / development of the Dolls House technology.
For one thing Whiskey can not be Topher's sister because he would not have been tempted to sleep with her when she tried seducing him. If she were in fact his sister he probably wouldn't have let her try and seduce him at all! He does behave as though they were a pair in some way when he mentions that they made a deal under contracts that forbid them from knowing eachother. He is acting as though he knows who she is and is not allowed to tell her and made it to where she will not like being around him so she will not figure it out. Really wish It would explain this! I am only to the 3rd episode of season 2 and it is driving me crazy! I could not help trying to look it up but apparently it does not reveal the truth! WWWHHHYYYY?????!!!!! I am not even interested in the whole Echo thing anymore, it is the some ol thing every episode. She is someone, she does something, she gets erased, yet still remembers. On to the other people now!! What about sierra and victor, meli and jack, boyd and sanders, TOPHER AND SANDERS???? You learn nothing until the last episode which tells you not very much I guess.....
Whiskey 1.1? Edit
That can't be her number. Why would her number have a .1 after it? Did she get her appendix taken out, and they decided that was a new minor release? When Topher says "get me Whiskey 1.1", he's not saying to bring in Dr. Saunders, he's saying to bring in a specific suitcase full of her old imprints. That would make her Whiskey 1, and the suitcase the first or second batch of Whiskey 1's imprints depending on if they're counted from 0 or 1. Is there some other scene I'm forgetting where they specifically called the active herself Whiskey 1.1? --126.96.36.199 16:27, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
- The way I understood the scene (and screenshots from Topher's big build screen in "Man on the Street") is that the imprints (not the Actives) have that kind of numbering system. So, after Topher calls out "Get me Whiskey 1.1" he probably gets a suitcase with all the imprints Whiskey had. I'd imagine that the imprints are grouped by timeline (Whiskey 1.0 being her first persona, Whiskey 2.0 her second etc.) and then subdivided by further specifications/details. What Topher was asking for was basically Crystal, the imprint that left the perimeter back then with Alpha!Bobby. (I'm guessing the "Natural Born Killers"-Crystal-Imprint might have other variations to it, softer, edgier, bloodier, cuter etc that could be Whiskey 1.0, Whiskey 1.2 etc...) That way it makes sense that after he got that particular wedge out of the case (notice he didn't "search" the case the way he "searched" the Echo-imprints before, he knew which one he wanted to test) he tested it and found the signature he looked for. He matched Whiskey 1.1, the specific Crystal-imprint used back then when she and Bobby tortured Lats, with the residual signature the Echo!Crystal-imprint left in the chair when Alpha escaped with her.
- So, basically, you're right. The Active Whiskey is "Whiskey" without a number, but the imprints used on her are numbered.--— Wiesengrund (talk) 16:44, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
- Still don't know if I really got that, is that to say that "Whiskey 1" is Whiskey as we know her, and ".1" ".2" etc... is the imprints? I should check out Man on the Street again, I guess...--Terran Officer 08:31, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
Joining the Dollhouse - When?Edit
I noticed on the Dollhouse Chronology, that Whiskey is notied to have been a member since the late 1980's, what is the source for that? (This should probably go into the talk page of the chronology, bit it also relates to this page, so...). --Terran Officer 08:31, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
Ebay file Edit
What was contained in the ebay file for Whiskey that was auctioned recently? couldn't believe it when i saw that one was out there.
- According to the description, the file contained information relating to medical and active information, likely the results of her examinations and notations from the previous Dollhouse physician that she is over worked, etc... It's not clear exactly what all that means, and how extensive the stuff is, though. --Terran Officer 18:31, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
Whiskey's fate Edit
Am I the only one who thinks Whiskey pretty clearly died in Epitaph One, after releasing the nerve gas? Right after she sits down and closes her eyes, she can clearly be seen slumping down a bit, as if falling asleep. If we assume the nerve gas was something of a neurotoxin, as opposed to just something inducing paralysis or whatever, that wouldn't really leave anything open to speculation. I'm asking because in every article on here I've found the explicit statement that her fate was "unclear", and no one knew what happened to her. Now, I have yet to watch Epitaph Two, but from what I've read, she doesn't appear there anymore, either - still, there could be something I'm missing. Just wanted to pose the question to a larger Dollhouse fanbase to clear things up. Also, first edit on here! :3 --Ghiacciato 23:01, September 20, 2011 (UTC)
- It's "unclear" because I believe an audio commentary, or a comment by Joss Whedon (or something to that effect) somewhere made a note that Whiskey was supposed to make further appearances. The cancellation, and Amy Acker's lack of availability obviously means this didn't/wont happen. In the context of things, she probably did die, but as it's not explicitly made clear... ---Terran Officer 22:51, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

SAN FRANCISCO -- A few thoughts on the Cardinals' 32-20 loss to the 49ers.
What it means: The Arizona Cardinals showed Sunday they aren't a pushover in the NFC West. Even though the offense started out looking pitiful with turnovers , the defense carried the Cardinals while making the San Francisco 49ers look human. By playing the Niners tough until about seven minutes left, the Cardinals put the Seattle Seahawks on notice, essentially telling them that no matter the venue, their defense will come to play. Although the offense continued to have its issues, especially in the first quarter and a half, it showed what coach Bruce Arians' offense could accomplish, when tweaked.
Stock Watch: Rookie running back Andre Ellington has been establishing himself all season, but he showed what he could do when being entrusted during crucial situations. Ellington provided a burst, the proverbial lightning to veteran Rashard Mendenhall's thunder. He scored his first career rushing touchdown on a 15-yard run in the second quarter in which he cut out wide to the right and turned on the jets to hit the end zone.
Two Palmers: Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer may very well have turned a corner. He started horrendously Sunday, throwing two interceptions in the first nine minutes of the game, and then was sacked early in the second quarter for a safety, although that wasn't totally Palmer's fault. But then something happened. With backup Drew Stanton looking like he was preparing to get his first snaps since 2010, Palmer executed a nearly perfect three-play drive that pulled the Cardinals within 15-14 late in the first half. Palmer's resurgence continued in the second half, when he threw a touchdown to Michael Floyd off his back foot, a play that has been intercepted in the past.
Drive killers: It's not just interceptions that hampered the Cardinals on Sunday. Two fumbles derailed drives when Arizona needed them most. In the third, Larry Fitzgerald's fumble at San Francisco's 23-yard line ended a drive that could've given the Cardinals the lead. And then in the fourth quarter, Alfonso Smith fumbled his only carry of the game, ending a drive that would've helped cut into the Niners' lead. To compete in the NFC West, of all divisions, the Cardinals need to keep their hands on the ball.
What's next: The Cardinals face their second straight NFC West foe in a week when they host Seattle at 5:25 p.m. MT Thursday at University of Phoenix Stadium.

HUGO Southwell's career appears to be in the balance with the Wasps full back showing no signs of recovering from a complicated hamstring injury.
The former Scotland international hasn't played at all this season and there is no prospect of him returning to action any time soon.
Director of rugby Dai Young said: "He's not progressing at all. It's getting to the stage where we're starting to fear the worst.
"We're still pushing ahead with it, but it's not moving anywhere near as quick as Hugo would like or we'd like."

Wow, not bad .. that means $39,980,000 in revenue. I wonder what their operating costs are for .Mac. They probably earn a pretty penny in profit ..
Speaking of services, iTMS still has quite a few more songs to sell before it will generate that kind of revenue, and I bet that the iTMS operating costs are significantly higher (with licensing fees and such, but this is just my guess). Seems like .Mac was a pretty profitable idea .....
If I remember correctly I think Apple gets like $0.35 off each song purchased. (Correct me if I'm wrong). So, iTMS probably isn't as profitable as .mac is right now, but it could turn out to be very profitable once it comes to Windows.
iMS already nearly broke even--much sooner than expected.
I believe for each song the label (and artist) get .65 and Apple gets .34. But Apple must pay its costs out of that .34, it's not all profit. The credit card company takes a chunk from Apple's cut too.
That whole article is actually an interesting read. I'm kind of suprised at the number of .mac subscribers, but I'm probably even more suprised that I'm renewing my subscription. I didn't think I would even two months ago, but now I'm pretty sure I am.
That is an interesting article. Congratulations to Apple. My wife has a .mac account and plans to renew!

versatility - qualities which Australian audiences have known about for some time.
Chicago may be New York's longest-running musical revival but O'Connor and Zane have injected new razzamattaz into the show and kept it at the fore among the ticket-buying public.
O'Connor is appearing on Broadway after getting the green light from the Actors Equity Association, and her run in the show has been extended until February. "It's so exciting just being here, and experiencing the energy of this town," she says. "Australia will always be home but I have longed for this opportunity and it couldn't be happening at a better time, what with the success of Baz's [Luhrmann's] La Boheme ... I don't know what opportunities will come but it would be great to create a role in a new musical - that's what I'd really love to happen and probably the best way to get noticed."
O'Connor has just seen the film version of Chicago, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere, and is highly impressed by director Rob Marshall's interpretation and approach.
"It's very cleverly done and true to its theatre origins ... A couple of songs have been dropped, including Class, but overall it's a marvellous movie musical which succeeds on its own terms."
When the singer/dancer/actor emerges from the stage door she is surrounded by autograph hunters, including a young Japanese woman who tells her that she's seen Chicago more than 100 times and expects to see it many more times. O'Connor can barely disguise her amazement as she happily signs her name, aware that it's the very adulation that the vaudevillian Velma would crave and love. One door that O'Connor would like to see open is for a producer to pick up her one-woman show, Bombshells, scripted by Joanna Murray-Smith and premiered in Melbourne a year ago in a production staged by Simon Phillips.
"It's such an amazing piece and I get to play all these different characters - it's a bit like what Tracey Ullman does in bringing a range of different personalities to life ... It would be very satisfying for the show to happen here."
She says plans are afoot for a Sydney season of Bombshells although nothing is confirmed yet. For now, Chicago holds sway and, as O'Connor retreats into the ice-cold Manhattan night in a black limousine with Zane and friends, you can tell she's savouring every moment of it. Fans back home will just have to wait.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Pitfire Artisan Pizza Restaurant Review: This West Hollywood location of Pitfire's gourmet pizza franchises was designed by architect Ana Henton with an airy mid-century look and an open kitchen. Inventive wood-fired pizzas boast a thin crust that have just the right balance of crispy and chewiness. We like the burrata pie and the popular "Greens, Egg & Ham" pizza, which blends rapini, farm egg and prosciutto. Seasonal options like autumn's pumpkin version shouldn't be missed. The restaurant offers a genuine neighborhood social spot with a warm ambience. Although it's very kid-friendly, with a vintage foosball table, adults will find more refined dishes alongside the pizza, such as a grilled peach and Gorgonzola salad, savory chicken meatballs, and a summer crab spaghettini. House-made sangrías are refreshing, and the "shandies" are a must, though purists can also choose from a fine list of craft beers. Other locations.

One wet, raw day last April, at the Broadmoor public golf course in Portland, Ore., Dan McLaughlin stood in the center of one of the greens. He wore running shoes, blue jeans and a yellow rubber raincoat. He wrapped his frozen fingers around a two-buck putter and hit one-foot putts, and he did that for two hours straight, stopped for a cup of hot, decaffeinated tea, then did it for two hours more. That's how this started.
On his 30th birthday, June 27, 2009, Dan had decided to quit his job to become a professional golfer.
He had almost no experience and even less interest in the sport.
What he really wanted to do was test the 10,000-hour theory he read about in the Malcolm Gladwell bestseller Outliers. That, Gladwell wrote, is the amount of time it takes to get really good at anything — "the magic number of greatness."
The idea appealed to Dan. His 9-to-5 job as a commercial photographer had become unfulfilling. He didn't want just to pay his bills. He wanted to make a change.
Could he stop being one thing and start being another? Could he, an average man, 5 feet 9 and 155 pounds, become a pro golfer, just by trying? Dan's not doing an experiment. He is the experiment.
The Dan Plan will take six hours a day, six days a week, for six years. He is keeping diligent records of his practice and progress. People who study expertise say no one has done quite what Dan is doing right now.
Dan spent last month in St. Petersburg because winters are winters in the Pacific Northwest. "If I could become a professional golfer," he said one afternoon, "the world is literally open to any options for anybody."
• • •
Dan is the youngest son of a family of high achievers. One of his grandfathers was a career IBM man. The other was a civil engineer. His father is an actuary. So is his brother. Actuaries calculate risk. They make statistical predictions about the future based on past performance. His brother graduated with high honors as a math major from Georgia Tech and then did it again in the divinity program at Boston University and now lives and works in New York City and is married with a young daughter. His sister is a dermatologist in Atlanta and a mother of four. She regularly runs marathons.
Dan? He's the only one of his siblings who wasn't confirmed in the Methodist church in which they grew up. He didn't understand why he had to do this just because everybody else was doing this. He was 12.
Within his immediate family, he said, "I'm definitely the one with the most wander in my heart."
He went to Fiji with no guidebook during a military coup in which he saw men with machine guns at the airport and men with machetes outside. He biked through Thailand and Cambodia. He lived for five months in Australia, where he worked as a waiter because he arrived in the country with no money.
In Portland, throughout his late 20s, he took pictures of dental equipment, which let him buy his own home but also left him with a dissatisfied feeling. There had to be something more.
He started saving money for graduate school. He didn't eat out or go to first-run movies and he rented out rooms in his house. He managed to save $100,000. When it came time to apply to grad school, though, that didn't feel right, either.
Shelves and shelves of self-help books are stocked in America with the canon of the quick fix. The 10,000-hour concept, though, is based on academic research into the idea that success is a choice — made, not born. At first glance, it feels like a very American idea — you can be anything you want to be — but it is an unsentimental view of the world. It helps to be tall in basketball, and it helps to start violin lessons at a young age, but what separates the few truly great from the many merely good is not talent or magic or luck. It's dedication and discipline.
The secret to success isn't a secret. It's work.
Dan played competitive tennis as a boy, and was good at it, and then quit. He ran one year of cross country in high school, and was good at it, and then quit. He wanted to run on his own. He followed his brother to Boston University for a year and was a physics and math major, and then quit. Instead, he traveled, alone. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in photojournalism and was a photographer for a newspaper in Chattanooga, Tenn., for a year, and then quit.
He has started five novels.
He took one piano lesson.
• • •
When Dan first told his family about The Dan Plan, his father thought: In 10,000 hours, you could become a doctor. He wondered what to tell his son. Don't quit the job you don't like? Don't gamble with your future? The actuary wanted to tell him those things. The father did not.
But Steve McLaughlin also didn't think his son would take this as far as he has. Neither did his mother. Neither did his brother or his sister or his girlfriend.
"Dan's always been an ideas guy," his brother, Matthew McLaughlin, said. "The fact that he would think of such a thing isn't surprising. But ideas are one thing. Execution is another. He would get frustrated and quit."
At this point, though, more than 1,000 hours and nearly a year into the plan, they're more than surprised. They're impressed.
"He's very driven," said his mother, Susan McLaughlin.
"He seems a little more confident and focused," his father said. "There's not a lot of wasted time."
"I used to think of him as very laid-back, sort of fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants," his sister, Elizabeth Losken, said. "Ever since he started The Dan Plan, I'm seeing his personality is a lot more like mine than I thought possible. I definitely see a kindred spirit in him. I see him being a lot more dedicated to what he's doing."
Both his siblings are also something they didn't expect to be.
"There have been times," his sister said, "when I've been envious."
Said his brother: "I got out of high school, went to college, went to grad school, got a job . . ."
"I think it's the reason he's doing this," said Marijke Dixon, his live-in girlfriend in Portland. "He needs to succeed at something, but it can't be on their terms. I think he's trying to come to terms with it, his need to succeed, but in his own way."
"I think the takeaway for me," his brother said, "would be that you can be a lot more than you are, that there's a lot more room for excellence than we typically admit to ourselves."

The wind rustled the tops of the palms at the Treasure Bay golf course in Treasure Island. Dan took a practice swing. He took another.
He has three clubs in his bag, a putter, a chipper and a wedge. That's it. That's because of his coach.
Back when he first pitched his idea to Christopher Smith, a Nike-affiliated coach who has written a book about golf, Smith was not just uninterested. He was insulted. Golf is famously frustrating. Smith told Dan it was much harder than he thought. He told him to Google K. Anders Ericsson at Florida State University, a psychology professor and a leading expert on expertise.
Dan Googled him. Then called him. Then read his scholarly work. Smith started to think Dan was more committed than he had originally thought. Perhaps Dan was an opportunity. How would he teach golf to a person who was relatively fit, clearly willing and totally untouched, with no bad habits to undo because there were no habits at all?
Dan persuaded Smith to coach him. He got Nike to give him some free shoes, clothes and clubs. He set up a Twitter account, a Facebook page and a blog at thedanplan.com. By now, on Dan's loose team of interested consultants are Smith, Ericsson, a personal trainer in Portland and a professor of kinesiology at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.
Here's how they have Dan trying to learn golf: He couldn't putt from 3 feet until he was good enough at putting from 1 foot. He couldn't putt from 5 feet until he was good enough putting from 3 feet. He's working away from the hole. He didn't get off the green for five months. A putter was the only club in his bag.
Everybody asks him what he shoots for a round. He has no idea. His next drive will be his first.
In his month in Florida, he worked as far as 50 yards away from the hole. He might — might — have a full set of clubs a year from now.
At Treasure Bay, with the Intracoastal and the causeway in the distance, he whacked a sharp low shot into a fence. It skidded into some seashells and crabgrass. He sliced another ball into a lake. A startled duck jerked its head. He lofted a chip toward the hole and the ball rolled toward the cup. And past it. Too long.
To this point, Dan says, he has ended up liking golf more than he thought he would. It feels like a puzzle, he has found, always a challenge, never the same shot twice. It feels good, he says, to work and work and then to finally hit one the way he's supposed to hit it, just right.
He lofted another chip toward the hole.
And almost into it.
"Everybody hits bad shots," he said. "But it's how you recover from those bad shots that matters."
• • •
Late last month Dan drove a small rented Nissan up to Tallahassee for a conference at Florida State on performance and expertise. Ericsson was scheduled to speak. So was Dan. Ericsson invited him.
On the campus, in a classroom, Dan listened to smart people say interesting things about data compiled and experiments done.
Then it was his turn.
"I live in Portland, Oregon, and I'm 31 years old," he said at the start of his presentation.
He showed them his bag with three clubs. He put up PowerPoint graphs charting his gradual improvement in putting and chipping.
There are more than 27 million people in this country who play golf. There are 125 permanent spots on the PGA Tour. Smith has told Dan the odds of him earning one of those spots are astronomically long. He picked golf, Dan says, because he wanted something not impossible but close. He grants that there's a "99 percent chance I'm not going to become a PGA golfer." But that's not the point.
"Basically," he told the people at the conference, "what I'm trying to do with this project is demonstrate how far you're able to go if you're willing to put in the time.
"I'm testing human potential."
Everybody in the classroom clapped for Dan and his plan.
Outside, Ericsson said to Dan, "I'm so intrigued here by your commitment to do this."
People, of course, have become world-class after practicing 10,000 hours, in golf and tennis and violin or anything else. But never, not in anything, according to Ericsson, has anyone done it like this: to start at this age, with no experience, and to keep statistics from the beginning, and to be so self-reflective about it, and to last even this long. Dan, Ericsson says, is "like Columbus here, sailing out in new territory."
Ericsson asked Dan if he had any questions.
Sometimes it feels like it's all he has.
How is he doing? What if all he's doing is getting really good at practicing golf and not at playing it? How will he know?
What will success look like?
Back in St. Petersburg, he said, "I don't think it can fail, because it's not really about me or what ultimately happens with me. It's about blazing a new path and kind of trying to change the way people see life's possibilities."
On the drive to Tallahassee, he said, "If I put in those 10,000 hours, in my eyes, no matter the outcome, I will have been successful. Because I think I'll be much more in tune with my abilities."
On the drive back, he said, "One of the things I'm learning in this process is the ability to overcome frustrations, and that's a huge part of golf. That's a huge part of anything, I guess, right?"
Maybe he will become a pro golfer. Maybe he will become an excellent golfer. Maybe he will become an average golfer. Maybe he won't.
He's certain, though, that won't be the ultimate measure of success. Success, he has found, is in the sincerity of the pursuit.
"I like where I am in life right now," he said, eyes on the road ahead, 8,803 hours to go.

Friday's New York Times off-lead story from Madison by Monica Davey and A.G. Sulzberger, in the aftermath of a defeat for public-sector unions in Wisconsin, spun the win by Republican Gov. Scott Walker as a long-term political victory for Democrats: "Wisconsin Curbs Public Unions, But Democrats Predict Backlash." The online headline was even more blunt: "In Wisconsin Battle on Unions, State Democrats See a Big Gift." Walker has evidently awoken "the sleeping giant" of labor unions (as if they had previously stayed out of politics).
By contrast, there was no such wishful thinking or hunt for the bright side for the losers in the aftermath of the fiercely contested passage of unpopular Obama-care last year. Adam Nagourney's front-page "political memo" of March 23, 2010, "For G.O.P., United Stand Has Drawbacks, Too," suggested Republicans could pay a political price for opposing Obama-care. (It didn't quite work out that way.)
From the Times on Friday:
After nearly a month of angry demonstrations and procedural maneuvering in the State Capitol here, Gov. Scott Walker won his battle on Thursday to cut bargaining rights for most government workers in Wisconsin.
But his victory, after the State Assembly passed the bill, also carries risks for the state's Republicans who swept into power last November.
Democratic-leaning voters appeared energized by the battle over collective bargaining on a national stage. The fight has already spurred a list of potential recall elections for state lawmakers this spring. Protesters are planning more large demonstrations this weekend.
"From a policy perspective, this is terrible," said Mike Tate, the leader of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
"But from a political perspective, he could not have handed us a bigger gift," Mr. Tate said of the governor.
In the last 24 hours, he added, the state party had received $360,000 in contributions and volunteers have streamed into offices where signatures were being collected for recall bids.
Also on Friday morning, chief "Caucus" blog writer Michael Shear argued the Republican victory in Wisconsin would not only help Democrats in general but Barack Obama himself: "Walker Hands a Victory to...Obama?"
The votes late this week by the Wisconsin legislature to curtail collective bargaining rights appears to hand political victories to two very different men: Scott Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, and President Obama.
After a three week stalemate, Republicans in the state found a procedural way to force Mr. Walker's signature measure through the legislature despite the absence of the Democrats in the senate. Mr. Walker has vowed to sign the bill over the objections of the unions and the Democrats.
But in the process, Mr. Walker has done for Mr. Obama an unintended favor. He has energized labor unions, a key part of the president's political base and one that will play a big role in whether or not Mr. Obama gets reelected....But Mr. Walker, by sparking the Wisconsin fight over collective bargaining, may have awoken the sleeping giant, not only in his state, but across the nation.
Reporter James McKinley Jr. on December 21, 2010 similarly and wishfully commented on "the sleeping giant" of the Hispanic vote in Texas that threatened anti-amnesty conservatives: "The risk for Republicans like [Kay Bailey] Hutchison is that in trying to appeal to the conservative base, they will anger Hispanics, who are regarded as the sleeping giant of Texas politics."

In a drive to increase the proportion of Roman Catholic churches on the National Heritage List, Historic England has handed Ampleforth Abbey, in Ryedale, grade I listed status, joining landmarks including York Minster and Rievaulx Abbey with the highest level of protection.
The government body said the Abbey Church at Ampleforth, designed by eminent architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who designed Liverpool Anglican Cathedral and K6 red telephone box, reflected the "pared back simplicity encouraged by the Benedictine order".
Historic England said the listing upgrades came at the end of a project with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Middlesbrough and the Patrimony Committee of the Bishops' Conference.
Sophie Andreae, of the conference, said: "It is very exciting that the importance of Catholic heritage is now being recognised. These outstanding churches deserve to be better known and we are very grateful to Historic England for their support for the major research project that has led to this announcement."
While Father Wulstan Peterburs, procurator at Ampleforth, said the community of monks was delighted the building had been recognised, some of his colleagues in the diocese said they feared spiralling maintenance costs to meet listed building requirements.
Historic England has also upgraded St Peter and St Paul, Leyburn, to Grade II*, saying it was "a nationally rare example of a Roman Catholic church with well-surviving box pews, a style of seating more typical of 17th and 18th century Anglican churches".
A new entry on the list, St Mary and St Romuald, Yarm, has been given grade II status, as it "represents a relatively early and little altered church" by Catholic architect George Goldie.
Yarm parish priest Father Neil McNicholas said in recent years the diocese had been burdened by maintaining a number of little used churches that listed status prevented from being demolished.
He said the Victorian landmark at the top of the town's high street, which was facing increasing amounts of repairs, did feature a fine stained glass window and altar, but the rest of the building had "very little merit to it".
Fr McNicholas added the church had a congregation of 180 and that the community was not as wealthy as some believed.
He said: "The reality is Historic England has a minority of Catholic churches on its list and has pushed them through whether they had merit or not."

The Standard Form (SF) 86, Questionnaire for National Security Positions, is the form that is used by military personnel, government contractors, and government employees to apply for a Security Clearance (CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, TOP SECRET).

The new form SF86 Electronic Questionnaire for Investigation Processing (eQIP) use a computerized version of the Security Clearance Questionnaire, but it contains the same questions and information as the SF 86.

Standard Form 86 (SF 86)/ (eQIP), but I hope to provide general information about completing the form and where to get help if you need it. The Security Clearance Form, and its equivalent electronic version (eQIP), have evolved over the years and the latest version was revised in December 2010.

Advice For Completing The Form

Be completely honest when answering all questions. If necessary, provide any explanation for how you answered a particular question in the comments or continuation section. When in doubt, provide an explanation. Please list not only your current spouse, fiancé, or cohabitant of a romantic nature, but also any former spouse(s); also include in-laws. You must provide your residential addresses for the last 10 years, do not leave any gaps in time. If you split your time between multiple residences during a time period, you must list all residences, not just the permanent address. This is why you need to make copies. If you have moved several times, this list can get long. You may require much of the same information in the future as higher clearances are sought.

You are not required to list temporary locations of less than 90 days that did not serve as a permanent or mailing address. If a residence was in an apartment complex, include the name of the complex and the unit number. If your name was not on the lease, then include the name of the individual who was on the rental or lease agreement. Also, include residences while in college.

You must provide your employment history for the last 10 years, do not leave any gaps in time. List all full or part-time employment, in chronological order. If the government or a large organization was your employer, identify the specific department, bureau, division, section, or unit where you actually worked. Physical addresses, not post office boxes, are required so our Regional Security Officers can properly locate your residence. If you have spent time overseas, provide references who are in the United States now and who can corroborate or verify your overseas activities. If necessary, this information can be added in the continuation section of the SF-86.

Les Gets Snow Report 23 Mar 2012
Good snow cover in the Portes du Soleil with the upper slopes of Les Gets having 200cm and runs to resort with 90cm.
The sun is upon us here in Les Gets but with such good snow throughout the season so far, all runs in resort remain open and amazingly we still have 2 metres of snow at the top of the Pointe. At the top of Nyon and Chamossiere the weather is staying cool and breezy and that is affecting the quality of the snow, powder runs can still be found of the back of both runs! Just yesterday I found a beautiful pillow drop down the side of the Aigle Rouge, it may not the softest powder I've ever found but its still knee deep and challenging.
The Mont Chery side of the mountain is often seen as the Canary mount in resort, when it loses its powers and the lifties shut it down we know that the snow is leaving us, luckily for us though the Mont Chery is still alive and well, with all runs staying open. With this we look to the next few weeks with wonderful excitement as the snow sticks around and the sun beams down on us giving us a winter holiday twinned with a summer.
Temperatures are set to stay just above freezing level for the next three days and with wind levels staying low to zero the riding conditions warm, its T-shirt time!! But with some snow forecast on Sunday night we don't mind one bit!
We are all very excited at the moment because the Ebouelle Contest is currently on. Part of it is the urban art competition and all around the village there are huge boards where teams are spraying their best designs hoping to beat the returning winners which have their board next to the Irish Pub. The jib session is also on today down at the bottom of the Chavannes pistes where they have installed some rails next to the big jump. We also have live DJ sets and music from midday. Then tomorrow the much anticipated Rock the Pistes festival starts kicking off in Les Gets with a concert at the Folliets chair lift with Louis Bertignac.

Mount Erebus, Antarctica
March 25, 2012 by staff
Mount Erebus, Antarctica, Mount Erebus is the second highest volcano in Antarctica (after Mount Sidley), and the 6th highest ultra mountain on an island. With a summit elevation of 3,794 metres (12,448 ft), it is located on Ross Island, which is also home to three inactive volcanoes, notably Mount Terror. Mount Erebus is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, which includes over 160 active volcanoes.
The volcano has been observed to be continuously active since 1972 and is the site of the Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory run by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
Mount Erebus was discovered on January 27, 1841 (and observed to be in eruption) by polar explorer Sir James Clark Ross who named it Mount Erebus after his ships, Erebus and Terror (which were also used by Sir John Franklin on his disastrous Arctic expedition). Erebus was a primordial Greek god of darkness, the son of Chaos.
Mount Erebus was first climbed (to the rim) by members of Sir Ernest Shackleton's party in 1908. Its first known solo ascent and the first winter ascent was accomplished by British mountaineer Roger Mear in March 1985, a member of Robert Swan's "In the Footsteps of Scott" expedition. On January 19-20, 1991, Charles J. Blackmer, an iron-worker for many years at McMurdo Station and the South Pole, accomplished a solo ascent in approximately seventeen hours via snow mobile.

More than 9000 people were evacuated from the Indonesian capital Jakarta as a third day of flooding killed two people and swamped the offices of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Water levels from Jakarta's main floodgate near the presidential office topped 10 meters, risking wider flooding in a key downtown area. Officials from the Jakarta government and the National Agency for Disaster Management met to discuss ways to stem the floods, which were brought on by seasonal rains.
"It doesn't matter if the Presidential Palace is flooded," Mr Yudhoyono said. "The most important thing is that the public is protected."
Television footage showed Mr Yudhoyono and Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa with their pants rolled up wading through about 30 centimetres of water in the presidential compound. Cabinet member Tifatul Sembiring was shown wading barefoot to the government office after his car broke down in the floodwaters, according to Metro TV.
Mr Yudhoyono delayed a meeting with Argentine President
Japanese Prime Minister
Mr Yudhoyono instructed national police to guard affected homes and the army to send rubber boats, trucks and medical teams.
One person drowned and another was electrocuted while attending to a power failure during heavy rains, an official with the Jakarta Disaster Management Agency said by phone.
Flights to and from Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta international airport were operating normally, said Kristanto, a public relations manager at state-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II.
The company had arranged trucks and buses to pick up passengers who were unable to reach the airport because of the floods, he said.
As of Thursday night, 9517 people had been evacuated from the capital, according to a spokesman for the National Agency for Disaster Management.
Floodwaters had made many roads impassable, including one of several streets leading to the airport, the Detik.com news website reported, citing police.
Jakarta is situated in a low-lying area with 13 rivers and more than 1400 kilometres of man-made waterways, leaving it vulnerable to flooding, according to the World Bank.
About 40 per cent of Jakarta's land area is below sea level.

The first course of a meal is underpraised. That's why we turn to our Superdiners and ask them who's got a great appetizer in San Diego.
My go-to appetizer is always the soup. You can tell everything you need to know about a place by its soup. The sambar soup at Gourmet India (810 Fourth Ave., Gaslamp Quarter. 619-702-7967 or gourmet-india.us) is a great start: lentils, tomatoes and onions, spiked with cardamom, coriander and ginger. Catch a Bollywood gangster flick on the projector there and it's a good day. — Ricardo Heredia, executive chef at Alchemy Restaurant
I spend more time dining off the appetizer side of menus than the entree side, because I enjoy the whimsy chefs are able to employ when not saddled to the protein-starch-veg-sauce equation. I never thought I'd cite a mussel dish as one of my faves, but I recently lapped up every bit of a huge plate of mussels served in a white wine and garlic broth fortified with duck confit and cognac at Pacifica Del Mar (Del Mar Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar. 858-792-0476 or pacificadelmar.com). Rich and bathe-in-it good, it was unlike anything I've had before. — Brandon Hernández, food writer (Twitter @offdutyfoodie)
I confess, I am stuck in a rut. I have never eaten at The Farm House Cafe (2121 Adams Ave., University Heights. 619-269-9662 or farmhousecafesd.com) without splitting an order of chef Olivier Bioteau's escargot risotto (OK, once I had a burger, but that was breakfast and doesn't count). There's none better, period! In fact, just the very act of writing this makes me crave another steamy bowl of that snail-laden gem! — Andrew Spurgin, consulting chef and event architect, andrewspurgin.com
Go-to starter: veggies. It's a preview of things to come. An example: I just had an incredible wood-fired roasted yams with blue cheese sauce and cabbage dish at Tiger! Tiger! (3025 El Cajon Blvd., North Park. 619-487-0401 or tigertigertavern.blogspot.com). I left wanting to try everything on their menu and will likely return for the attempt. — Anthony Schmidt, bartender at Noble Experiment
These days it's the sweet potato fry. Simple and delicious, and if the chef does it right, I know I've got a very good chance for a great meal to follow. And for me, Heights Tavern (3377 Adams Ave., Normal Heights. 619-501-3455 or heightstavern.com) raises the sweet potato bar. This is a tavern, so you'd be a simple spud if you didn't try its stout (ice cream) float while you're there. — Charles Kaufman, baker, owner of Bread & Cie Café (Twitter @BreadAndCie)
We'll order the goi cuon (pork and shrimp fresh spring rolls) whenever we get pho. We phased out of ordering calamari and moved on to new starters. The shaved Brussels sprouts are excellent at Davanti Enoteca (two local locations; davantienoteca.com). The hot wings at Eureka! (UTC Mall, 4353 La Jolla Village Drive, University City. 858-210-3444 or eurekaburger.com) aren't bad, and surprisingly you're given a generous amount. — Joanne Arellano, human resources professional, avid Yelper, avid diner
My go-to starter has been oysters for as long as I can remember. With champagne preferably. In SD I still look to the Oceanaire for solid oyster experience. — Jeff Josenhans, director of beverage outlets and sommelier at U.S. Grant Hotel
Like about 99.9 percent of carnivores, I like bacon. I especially like it when it's wrapped around something. I haven't tried bacon wrapped around some Air Jordan kicks, but I'm not ruling it out. For now, though, a starter like the bacon wrapped dates — not the person you arrived with, but rather those delightful fruits that are really good for you — is a must have for me. PrepKitchen in Little Italy has them on their tapas menu from 3-7 and late night 10-close. If I'm in the area at either of those times, I don't miss a chance to have this delicious combo of sweet and salty. — Gerald "Dex" Poindexter, publicist, avid diner (Twitter @SuperdinerDex)
If it's Italian, I'll always order the polenta, crispy or creamy. Several places in San Diego do creamy polenta particularly well, including Monello and Cucina Urbana, but I don't think anyone does it as superbly as Davanti Enoteca in Little Italy. Maybe it's the mascarpone cheese. Maybe it's the meltingly tender slow-cooked pork ragu. Maybe it's the amore. Whatever it is, it makes my life more complete. — Susan Russo, food writer, cookbook author (Twitter @Susan_Russo)
Although crispy Brussels sprouts are usually listed under the side dishes, every restaurant these days seem to have their version on the menu. These tasty little crispy treats serve as a wonderful appetizer when paired with pancetta, shaved fresh parmesan and a balsamic reduction. Having tried Brussels sprouts all over town, with varying degrees of success, I still need to recommend Chef Katherine's creation at Bo-Beau on West Point Loma Blvd., they are the best sprouts in San Diego, and worth the wait since the restaurant doesn't take reservations. — David Salisbury, a law firm's director of business development, avid diner
Even though I mention this little place quite often, I still enjoy ordering a bunch of small plates at Yakitori Yakyudori on Convoy St. — Fabrice Poigin, private chef, restaurant consultant
When I think of a starter I think of my love for oysters. My go-to spots for dine-in are Solace and the Moonlight Lounge (25 East E St., Encinitas. 760-753-2433 or eatatsolace.com) — check out the Sunday specials — and Fish 101 (1468 N Coast Highway 101, Encinitas. 760-943-6221 or fish101restaurant.com), especially their happy hour $1-oysters. For takeout, Whole Foods (various; wholefoodsmarket.com) will chuck, clean and put on ice for a take home starter. — Randee Stratton, real estate broker, avid diner

The Louisiana Legislature has approved a business and industry-backed bill that aims to shift gears in the equal pay debate — just days after the same language was killed in a Senate committee.
Senate Bill 359 — originally a wage dispute bill — was amended in the House to include the equal pay for women wording that was opposed by women's groups because it doesn't go as far as Democrat-backed bills that have sought to bridge the wage gap. The Senate agreed to the bill in a 28-10 vote Friday, sending it to Gov. Bobby Jindal for approval.
The bill stresses the need for equal pay and restates existing federal gender discrimination law but provides no new teeth to enforce pay equality.
Women in Louisiana make, on average, about 67 cents for every dollar men make, making it one of the worst states for pay disparity.
"This is what you call a hijack," said state Sen. Jody Amedee, a Gonzales Republican who voted against the earlier bill. "This is not an equal pay bill. It is a farce."
Supporters argued that the legislation doesn't take away from any other law and is harmless.
State Sen. Conrad Appel, R-Metairie, said that there are varying reasons for pay discrepancies and he doesn't buy into stats on Louisiana's pay differences.
"You have to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges," he said.

By Xaviera Hollander
Publisher: Dell Publishing
For many baby boomers, this was their introduction to S-E-X.
Written in the era of free love, it shot straight to the top of the best-seller lists when it was released in 1971, selling more than 15 million copies.
"The Happy Hooker" is the behind-the-brothel's door memoir of Xaviera de Vries, who had immigrated to the U.S. in the early '60s. Tired of her oh-so respectable job as a secretary at the Dutch consulate, she quit to become a call girl, making what she claimed was $1,000 a night. A year later, she opened her own brothel "Xaviera's Happy House" and soon became New York's leading madam.
This was and remains a classic tell-all of the world's oldest profession.

TWO men have been jailed after they knifed a stranger in the back during a violent attempted robbery.
Kyle Mayes and Damien Johnson waited until after dark before approaching Iain Sach as he walked along Chaseside in Bournemouth on June 15 this year.
But after grabbing at his backpack, their "plucky" victim put up a struggle, and was stabbed in the shoulder by one of the thugs.
David Richards, prosecuting at Bournemouth Crown Court, said: "As the victim was walking along, his rucksack was grabbed from behind and he was pulled around.
"He stepped back and saw a male in front of him holding a knife."
The six-inch tapered blade was used on the victim after he kicked one of the men hard on the leg in an attempt to get away.
Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.
Johnson, of Ashley Road, Bournemouth, admitted attempted robbery and possession of a bladed article.
Mayes, 19, also pleaded guilty to the same offences, as well as a second robbery at a flat in Stourvale Road.
During the incident, he conspired with a young female friend to rob Jake Sweatman of his Blackberry Curve mobile phone.
Mr Richards said the defendant, of Ashley Road in Bournemouth, told his victim he'd "knock him out" if the phone wasn't handed over.
Mitigating for Mayes, Brian Sharman said his client had behaved in a way "best described as 'utterly moronic'."
"I asked him, 'What on earth is the point of it? You didn't even know what was in his rucksack. It could've been some sandwiches'," he said.
"I can't offer explanation when I'm not given one in any coherent way."
However, he said the teenager, who previously attended Portchester School and Kingston Maurward, is not a "hardened criminal".
Nick Robinson, who represented Johnson, 23, read aloud passages from a letter penned by the defendant.
"[He writes] 'With all the sorrow in my heart, I regret what I have done'," the barrister read, adding that the defendant had called his actions "gutless, unnecessary and unforgiveable".
"My client said, 'I'm ashamed of myself and my children will grow up and hear of this and they will be ashamed of me too'."
Sentencing both men to a total of five years behind bars – Johnson in prison and Mayes in a young offenders' institution - Judge Peter Johnson said: "I have taken the view that this is a serious matter not least because of the injury caused to the victim, who is a plucky man."
Detective Constable Ben Morgan, of Bournemouth and Poole CID, said: "I welcome this sentence and hope it shows other would be offenders that this criminality will not be tolerated.
"It was fortunate that there were no serious injuries.
"I praise the good work of all involved in bringing these offenders to justice."

I have been frustrated more than once at the fact that DOBA.com can accept my membership via electronic means, but absolutely won't allow me to cancel my membership with the same method.
For anyone searching for ways to cancel a DOBA membership, I give you the text from their help file:
To cancel your account, please call 1.877.321.3622 to speak to a Member Services Representative who can help you cancel your account. Member Services is available between the hours of 7 AM and 7 PM Mountain Time, Monday through Friday. Please note that, at this time, we are unable to process cancellation requests via email.
This policy is also outlined in the Terms of Use. See the Terms of Use by checking on the following link: http://www.doba.com/site/fees.html
Basically, you have to call during their normal business hours. They will not accept your cancellation via any other means.*
*I was able to cancel electronically several years ago by making this same argument. Unfortunately, I recently created a trial account and tried to cancel it the same way, but it was a no go this time.
DOBA might be a good way to get your wholesale business started, but be warned that it's not as easy to cancel as it is to sign up.
If you do want to give them a try, they've just increased their free trial length from 7 days to 14. Definitely worth a look. (and now that you're going to bookmark this page, you'll know how to cancel if you decide you don't want the service.) 🙂

Omaha City Council rejects Ron Browns bigotry, protects gays from discrimination
Despite attempts by Nebraska Cornhuskers assistant football coach Ron Brown to keep anti-LGBT discrimination legal in Omaha, the city council there has voted, 4-3, to protect everyone in the LGBT community from discrimination. According to the Omaha World-Herald, Brown stuck to his position that gay people should be discriminated against:
The Lord is on the throne, he declared after the Omaha City Council voted 4-3 Tuesday to approve an ordinance that he opposed protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals from discrimination. This doesnt stop those who want to honor Him and follow him from doing the best we could to honor His name.
Brown added: As you learn in sports, things dont always go your way, and you have to be a great sport about it. We all have a responsibility to protect everyone from harm and destruction, and from any ill will and bad comments.
Brown also told the World-Herald reporter that god would punish those who dont discriminate against gay people, that homosexuality is a choice, and that calling gay rights civil rights is an insult to black people.
How can someone like this keep his job? Its one thing to have political opinions. While some may seem problematic, we have to allow people of all political persuasions to pursue their lifes dreams. This goes beyond that. This is a man, in charge of impressionable young men, saying he believes it is in Gods will to discriminate against gay people. He thinks that God will punish you in the afterlife if you dont discriminate against gay people. With about 100 men on the Nebraska football team each year, its guaranteed that at least one of them is gay every year: Yet they have to hear how they are wrong, and that they must be discriminated against. If Brown found out a player was gay, he would punish that player. This goes beyond a political opinion, what Brown is pushing is truly damaging in a world where so many gay kids still kill themselves.

3. Great Job, Omaha!
It's really good to see this happen! Glad to see Ron Brown didn't prevail. He sounds like a royal jerk. Very few people, I think, would say that the gay civil rights struggle and the black civil rights struggles are identical, but they ARE similar in that they are struggles for full rights and justice.
