Waste Diversion and Recycling Efforts in Hawaii
Hawaii beverage deposit program has recycled 4.7 billion cans and bottles since 2005
Hawaii sells more than 900 million beverage containers per year and up until 2005, most of them were simply tossed into the trash. With limited landfill space, that was not a sustainable solution.
The Hi5 Beverage Container Program launched in 2005 has helped turn things around by offering $0.05 for every container recycled. Nearly 5 billion beverage containers have been recycled ever since.
Zero Waste is sweeping the State
The State of Hawaii is one of a select few states currently striving for zero waste. Zero waste is a philosophy and lifestyle where waste is either recycled or reused. Places like Hawaii County have already drafted up Zero Waste Plans, and other parts of Hawaii are doing the same.
Schools are even joining in. The Zero Waste School Initiative was launched during the 2012-2013 school year, and it helps educate and put into practice zero waste ideas and technology.
Where does all the waste go?
Not all waste can be, or is, recycled. Much of the non-recycled waste in Hawaii is sent to the H-Power Plant on Oahu, which is a waste-to-energy plant that burns the waste to create electricity – up to 8% of Oahu's electricity usage.
There are also several other landfills in Hawaii that accept waste, and some waste is shipped away to landfills on the mainland.
Landfilling and shipping waste is expensive, topping $100 per ton in some cases. With the cost of recycling operations dropping just about every year, it's becoming much more cost effective to recycle rather than landfill, not to mention the environmental benefits of recycling.
30% of waste in Hawaii is construction and demolition (C&D) debris
This is significant because C&D is almost entirely recyclable – about 80% of it. In all, about 600,000 tons of C&D debris is disposed of each year in Hawaii.
There is a C&D landfill located on the Islands of Oahu and Maui, but not on the other islands. The tipping fee at these facilities are lower than that of a traditional landfill.
TIP: Ask your dumpster rental provider if they can dump at one of these C&D landfills to save on the cost of your rental.
Certain organizations in Hawaii accept salvaged building materials; here are a few:
- Habitat for Humanity (Honolulu location; there are several others across the Islands)
- Aloha Shares Network
- Re-use Hawaii
Tips for renting a roll-off dumpster in Hawaii
5 most common dumpster styles
Commercial dumpsters – Businesses use these dumpsters for weekly or monthly garbage hauling service. They are not for temporary use.
Roll-off dumpsters – These are the containers you rent for temporary uses, such as household cleanouts, roofing projects or commercial construction.
Trailer dumpsters – Used by some dumpster rental companies, these trailers are used similarly to roll-off dumpsters but are different in that they are on wheels – this offers the benefit of being easier on your driveway.
Bag-style containers – These small bins are made from durable fabrics and plastics and range in size from 1 to 3 cubic yards and hold less than 2 tons of debris. The "Bagster" container is one such dumpster.
Lowboy dumpsters – Similar to traditional roll-off dumpsters but with low sides, making it ideal for loading heavier debris, such as dirt, roofing material, concrete, tiles and masonry.
Information about dumpster rental weight limits and overage charges
Dumpster rental providers typically put a cap on the amount of weight you can load into a dumpster due to the fact it costs them more money to dump heavier loads at local landfills. This weight limit can range from 1 ton (2,000 lbs.) to 8 tons (16,000 lbs.) or more.
Overage fees typically range between $50 per ton and $100 per ton. For example, if the weight allowance is 2,000 lbs. and your load weighs in at 2,500 lbs., you'd owe an additional 1 ton of overage charges at the $50 to $100 rate, or whatever rate your dumpster rental agreement specifies.
TIP: Be particularly careful of going over the allotted weight limit when dealing with heavier debris, such as concrete, roofing shingles, dirt or masonry.

Bird flu is making a comeback -- in a big way.
In August, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported that a mutant strain of the deadly virus is spreading into Asia and other areas.
"Birds move around all the time," says Katherine L. Harmon, director of health intelligence at iJET, an Annapolis, Md.-based business-resiliency specialist. "With migratory flocks and farming practices, if people don't maintain a certain vigilance or surveillance, Avian influenza could be a bigger issue in the future."
The H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus had been largely off the radar screens of HR managers -- and the public in general -- since its presence fell from 63 nations in 2006 to just six in 2011: Bangladesh, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia and Vietnam.
But bird migrations and trade have led to the disease spreading recently, and it's even moving into countries that were previously virus-free, according to the FAO report.
There have been 800 new cases recorded between 2010 and 2011, the report states, but there only have been 565 cases found in humans since the disease first appeared years ago. That said, it's still deadly. A six-year-old girl died from the virus in Cambodia on Aug. 14, the eighth such death in that country this year.
The U.N. also reports that the virus recently landed in Israel, the Palestinian territories, Bulgaria, Romania, Nepal and Mongolia.
The good news is that the new strain is no more dangerous to humans than the previous one, says Juan Lubroth, chief veterinary officer at the FAO. It also behaves the same.
But HR leaders at multinationals may want to pay particular attention to China, which has found a variant strain -- one that "is able to bypass the defenses provided by existing vaccines" according to the FAO report.
HR leaders should urge employees in affected areas to use common sense. Steer clear of outdoor markets. Don't handle infected birds and make sure to eat in reputable locations where food is properly cleaned and cooked.
"This is a virus that has infected relatively few people on the global scale of known viruses," says iJET's Harmon. "Measles, for example, infects 450 people per day. When you think about it in statistical terms, [avian flu] isn't something that is near the same import to human health.
Gary Lynch, global leader of the Risk Intelligence Strategies and Resiliency Solutions practice of New York-based Marsh Risk Consulting, says nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of companies doing business in China have a pandemic-preparedness plan in place.
Many of those plans, however, are incomplete. Only one-third (35 percent) have stockpiled face masks, bleach and sanitizer, while roughly two-thirds (68 percent) haven't purchase any vaccines or antiviral medications, according to Marsh.

My wife and I are small buy and hold real estate investors. After several years of getting our financial house in order - paying off our home mortgage, paying off consumer debt, saving money - and a whole bunch of reading about REI on the internet, we took the plunge in 2010 and bought our first two properties, a duplex and SFH, which we are holding as rentals.
We slowed down during 2011 and 2012 after some unexpected events occured with extended family that cost a lot of money. We finally got the ball rolling again and acquired property #3, a SFH rental, in 2013. We acquired property #4, another SFH rental, in early 2014.
Rental #3 was our first one that required a fair amount of rehab upon purchase. I thouroughly enjoyed the process and learned a great deal. We are also doing a rehab on #4.
Our plan for the mid term is to continue adding rentals while financing is cheap, and until we hit our limit of 10 properties with conventional financing. When we reach our max of 10, we'll re-evaluate what the next steps are: either more of the same with non-conventional loans (e.g. a portfolio loan), or start hunting bigger game like small apartments buildings.

The dollar recovered from a three-week low against the euro after pending home sales rose to its highest level in nearly two years, a sign that the U.S. housing market is slowly improving.
The euro is trading at $1.3223 midday Thursday. It was worth $1.3230 Wednesday.
Earlier, the dollar fell against the euro as The Labor Department said that the number of applications for unemployment was little changed from the previous week. That's a sign that hiring will likely remain modest.
After the disappointing U.S. jobs report, the euro rose to $1.3263, its highest point against the dollar since April 3. But the dollar quickly recovered after the positive housing data.
The dollar is also rising against the Swiss franc and the Canadian dollar.

The body of Matthew Symonds, 34, was found on Friday morning at the Biffa-operated site next to Avonmouth docks near Bristol.
Detectives believe he had been transported 45 miles in a recycling bin from his home town of Swindon.
His death is being treated as unexplained and officers are waiting for the results of a post-mortem examination.
Senior investigating officer DCI Gareth Bevan said: "Police enquiries so far suggest the body was transported with commercial recycling waste collected in Swindon and therefore the focus of the investigation will be in that area going forward.
"The investigation is at an early stage and we are keeping an open mind about the circumstances leading to his death. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very difficult time."
A police team has been working at the waste plant examining machinery and the area where he was found.
Mr Symonds' relatives are being supported by family liaison officers from Wiltshire Police.
In 2012, the body of Canadian student Garrett Elsey was found at a different waste depot in Avonmouth.
The 22-year-old had been out drinking while celebrating his first night in the UK before falling asleep in a wheelie bin hours before it was emptied. Mr Elsey was crushed to death in the back of the bin lorry.
:: Human Remains Found In Ireland
Police are investigating after a human leg was found in a recycling plant in Ireland.
A worker found the severed limb at Thorntons plant in Killeen Road, Ballyfermot, west Dublin, on Thursday night.
A doctor was unable to say whether it is from a woman or a man.

What is the single best adidas Originals lifestyle sneaker design not borrowed from one of Three Stripes' classic models? Since its debut last spring, many have answered that it's the adidas Fortitude, a model that seamlessly melds rugged outdoor aesthetic traits with a smooth and satisfying lifestyle look. And though it's not a direct sequel, the new adidas Originals Roundhouse is a fitting follow-up, almost like tossing the Fortitude into a Boggle chamber for a totally different arrangement, then adding a midfoot strap. The latest colorway to hit retailers is perfect for summer with a beachy tonal grey and teal look of which you can see more images after the jump, then grab a pair from FinishLine.

When Choosing A Bank To Rob, Avoid The One Where Everyone Is Packing Image courtesy of (frankieleon)
There's a sign on the door of the Peoples Bank & Trust that says you're allowed to bring your concealed firearm in with you if you're so inclined. That's very American, but that doesn't mean you'd expect the bank president to chase a robber from the bank lobby to his getaway vehicle while pointing a Colt .380 at him. Experts generally don't support this hands-on approach to bank security, but it was effective: the robber (who was unarmed) surrendered, and the bank president is now a local hero.
"I didn't have time to get scared," he told reporters. "I was excited. Your adrenaline pumps. He robbed a bank, he menaced my employees, and I don't allow that." Tellers handled the robbery by the book and without fear.
The would-be robber turned out to be a customer of that branch who may be suffering from dementia. He disguised himself using a mask of the character Chucky from the "Child's Play" horror movies. It was his granddaughter's Halloween costume.

"Who Can They Count On? The Road To Reentry" Reentry Resource Guide
Recidivism is one of the most serious criminal justice issues that we face in New York. Part of the reason for recidivism is that we do not offer ex-offenders the skills and resources that they need to succeed after their release. I strongly believe that we must offer former offenders an alternative to crime.
I am very pleased to offer the following guide that will help ex-offenders to locate the resources and programs they need after incarceration. The guide contains information on a variety of important topics including employment, substance abuse counseling, family services as well as education, housing and legal services.

text: Another way to look at it is that induction is just a way to abbreviate proofs. Lets say you have a proposition over the natural numbers that may or may not be true; P(x). If you can prove P(0), and given P(x) you can prove P(x+1), then for any given natural number n, you can prove P(n): <insert proof of P(0) here> <insert proof of P(0) => P(1) here> P(1). -- from P(0) and P(0) => P(1) <proof of P(1) => P(2)> P(2). -- from P(1) and P(1) => P(2) ... P(n-1). -- from P(n-2) and P(n-2) => P(n-1). <proof of P(n-1) => P(n)> P(n). -- from P(n-1) and P(n-1) => P(n) The magic thing about induction is that it gives you a unifying principle that allows you to skip these steps and prove an -infinite- number of hypotheses; even though the natural numbers is an infinite set, each number is still finite and therefore is subject to the same logic above. One point to remember is that structural induction fails to hold on infinite data structures: data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat deriving (Eq, Show) Take P(x) to be (x /= Succ x). P(0): Zero /= Succ Zero. (trivial) P(x) => P(Succ x) So, given P(x) which is: (x /= Succ x), we have to prove P(Succ x): (Succ x /= Succ (Succ x)) In the derived Eq typeclass: Succ a /= Succ b = a /= b Taking "x" for a and "Succ x" for b: Succ x /= Succ (Succ x) = x /= Succ x which is P(x). Now, consider the following definition: infinity :: Nat infinity = Succ infinity infinity /= Succ infinity == _|_; and if you go by definitional equality, infinity = Succ infinity, so even though P(x) holds on all natural numbers due to structural induction, it doesn't hold on this infinite number. -- ryan

Murtagh has given no public explanation as to why he was dismissed from one of the highest profile jobs in European racing, but the colt believed to be at the centre of the sacking, Andrew Tinkler's progressive stayer Ursa Major, is now a confirmed runner in Saturday's St Leger, with Murtagh in the saddle.
Royal Diamond, the Tommy Carmody-trained stablemate who finished an eye-catching second in the Betfred Ebor, will carry the owner's colours in the Irish St Leger at The Curragh on the same day. Both have excellent place chances.
Murtagh has not ridden a winner since he returned to action following a nasty facial injury, and has refused to discuss the loss of his job, which most observers have put down to a perceived case of conflict of interests.
The jockey rents out his stable on The Curragh to Carmody, with which most would not have an issue, but the question remains as to was their association closer than that?
Experience has told Murtagh that the best way to handle such situations is to keep the head down and ride winners, and I believe he has a solid chance of achieving that in the Scarborough Stakes aboard Sole Power, who is overdue a win. Fast ground is the key to the Irish sprinter, and he will get that here.
This year, Sole Power has been placed in the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan, the Temple Stakes at Haydock, and the King's Stand at Royal Ascot.
Even when he missed a place in York's Nunthorpe last time – he finished seventh – he was not far from the winner. This one-time Group One winner can have Murtagh back in the news for the right reasons.
John Gosden has revealed that he will fit blinkers to Michelangelo for the first time in the St Leger. "He's genuine, but he's dreamy and the blinkers will help him focus," explained Gosden, who will have three runners in the Classic.

Have you been selling yourself short?
It's easy to think, when you're young and still learning, or when you haven't achieved that one essential "success" milestone, that you have nothing to offer.
I worked for many years alone at writing fiction, thinking that because I hadn't published a book, it meant I wasn't "there" yet. That it meant that I had to keep working and improving until I published that book, and then I could have a career. Then I could share and teach and talk about what I was doing.
Recently I've begun to realize how silly that is.
A 16-year-old I chatted with in a Facebook group expressed reluctance to start a Facebook page for her photography because she didn't feel she had enough experience or enough of a body of work to turn it into a business.
Who cares?!? I said. Don't be silly! Post away!
Sharing now is what will enable you to sell later. It is what will allow you to connect and to learn, both of which will be invaluable when you are ready, for whatever it is you're aiming at. I wish I had known this at 16.
Look at what you have done.
I haven't published a novel.
I have written four. I've written 18 short stories and one novella. I've written magazine articles and a nonfiction e-book. I write a blog that moves people—that helps people. I've increased my word counts 200% in the last two years. I have supporters who've been asking me for years when and where they can read my stuff. Years!
This is experience, and I've learned a ton from it. Somewhere in there, there's a lot I can offer.
What kind of experience do you have? What are you already good at? What do your friends look to you for?
Document your learning.
Your learning process is valuable. Other people have not learned the things you're learning and will want to.
Write about it. Make videos about it. Make a podcast about it. Offer it up in the world.
(P.S. Doing stuff like this helps you stay motivated, because you're putting yourself out there (adrenaline rush) and connecting (getting feedback), both of which are important parts of seeing yourself make progress.)
If you are making something and are excited about what you're doing, other people will be, too, and that will help keep you excited and working, and who knows what kind of opportunities will come your way as a result?
Don't be afraid to start small.
I have a bad habit of trying to include everything I know about everything into everything. Seriously, you don't want to do that.
Small is good. People can understand small. They can take in small, in a short amount of time, and get to know you, and see if they like what you do and want more.
People respond more to useful content that solves their problems and a fun personality that they can relate to than they do to fancy design. If you've watched author John Green and his brother Hank's early videos on YouTube, you know what I'm talking about.
Don't let technical fears hold you back. Share, connect, and show 'em what you're worth (already).
Let's Chat!
Are you proud of something you've done but been reluctant to share it? Tell us all about it below!

If you're not quite sold on Jake Gyllenhaal and director Denis Villeneuve's doppelganger thriller "Enemy" yet, check out this brief, almost 1-minute NSFW tease which features a few choice languages and lots of flashes of skin. Plus one really pregnant woman. Who says sex doesn't sell? I certainly never did.
Check out Jake Gyllenhaal fighting with Jake Gyllenhaal below. But not in the Michael Bay kind of fighting, apparently. More of in the white-knuckle, "Oh my God what are they gonna do?" kind, from what I can tell. You know, gritty and such.
ENEMY tells the story of a university lecturer named Adam (Gyllenhaal) who is nearing the end of a relationship with his girlfriend Mary (Laurent). One night, while watching a film, Adam spots a minor actor who looks just like him. Consumed by the desire to meet his double, Adam tracks down Anthony, an actor living with his pregnant wife Helen (Gadon) and engages him in a complex and dangerous struggle. The film is a haunting and provocative psychosexual thriller about duality and identity, where in the end only one man will survive.
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Mélanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon, and Isabella Rossellini.
Fightin' in 2014.

Well here it is, nine consecutive years I've been paid the big money to prognostikate Oconee High Warrior football games. The Tribe has been down some the past few years, but that should change because we have gotten a new coach with more vowels in his last name than Vanna White has on Wheel of Fortune.
Yep, the coach Nick Saltaformaggio years are about to begin.
Coach Salt has really come in from Louisiana and got these Warriors ready to hit. The way I see it in my faithful crystal ball, it's gonna be a tough and bruising season. In fact, Coach Salt has received my super secret play. It's right out of the Billy Joe Playbook. He frowned when I first showed it to him, but that changed when I explained it was as hot as a Cajun red pepper factory. Then he saw the light.
We might not win all our games this year, but by golly geezer whiz, we'll end up in the playoffs or I'll cut my mullet.
Here's my picks for the 2006 season.
Cedar Shoals - We beat these guys bad back when I had good teeth. Now that these guys have learned how to color in the lines and they somehow learned to play football. We'll fight to the end but I prognosticate that we'll come up short to the Jags. LOSS
Winder-Barrow - This is the only football stadium that will sell Skoal at the concession stand. Last year I thought I was at a NASCAR race. They sure do love Jeff Gordan up there. And just like a good ol' fight in the Cale Yarborough days at a NASCAR race we will whip these Bulldoggs for sure. WIN
Clarkston - Man I thought this was a '60s band or something. Where is Clarkston? I don't even know their mascot name. But I'm sure the Warriors won't lose this game. WIN
Salem - Are they called the menthols? Are we going to play a bunch of cigarettes? I guess we will smoke 'em good. WIN
Franklin County - We'll have Lion skin seat covers for sale after this game. According to history, the Warriors have never lost to the Lions. And the ol' crystal ball is guaranteeing this one. WIN
Monroe - Big news. Monroe has just changed their name from the Purple Hurricane to a Tropical Depression. The only high winds created this night will be from the Warrior tailbacks blazing into the end zone. WIN
Stephens County - It is hard to scalp these Indians at their reservation in the hills. I can see the Warriors bringing their might against the Indians. "But alas," as Shakespeare once said, we'll come up short. LOSS
Hart County - We owe these dogs very bad. They seem to have our number. Every time I smell an upset, it happens to be my stomach. LOSS
Elbert County - I was raised up down in the South, and I know the devil is red, so why are they called the Blue Devils. When we are done with these guys they will be the black and blue devils. WIN
Appalachee - Appalachee is a Cherokee word for Heapin' bunch of slow boys. We will skin these cats for my new fur coat. WIN
There you have it, 7-3. That is why I am the county's famous Predicticator! So you want to see if I'm right. Then y'all come to Warrior stadium and support our boys in blue this season.

The officer at RAF Leeming, Chris Moore, spoke on Saturday at the global coaching house in Glasgow about the debriefing of pilots.
This was arranged by the International Council for Coaching Excellence to coincide with Glasgow 2014. Many of the Commonwealth's greatest coaches were in attendance.
Debriefs occur after every mission in Afghanistan, every tour of duty. Every moment of each flight is analysed. Moore's world is about pilot decisions which are a matter of life and death. Sport, as has memorably been stated, is more important than that. Most will recognise a trite aphorism by one of the geniuses of coaching: the late Liverpool manager Bill Shankly.
Loading article content
Point by point, Moore explained how every moment of every mission is analysed. It's frank and open. It has to be, otherwise people will die. Sometimes they already have.
The point is that the shelf-life of athletes is short, the window of opportunity to deliver too precious to waste. It is life and death to the competitors who were in the arena.
Think the heart-stopping experiences of swimmer Michael Jamieson and steeplechaser Eilish McColgan, and their determination to continue whatever the consequences.
Scotland's 17 Games sports, sportscotland which funds them, and Commonwealth Games Scotland which delivers the team, must now conduct the same kind of forensic debrief as they look at funding.
Never has there been more right to bask in the glory: the record medal haul, the mainly slick organisation, the massive sense of fun. But that should not blind us to the reality that best business practice decrees it as important to analyse after success as after failure.
Debriefing should examine the behaviour and performance of athletes in the arena, how that was engineered, what coaches were saying to them, what they were doing, decision-making at every level, what the management and administration did, who counselled the coaches in the first place, the precise role of the multi-faceted specialists at the Institute of Sport (who played a sterling role) and how it was all funded.
They would tell you they already do this. However, the process should be independent, given vested interests among all partners, and jobs and multi-milion funding dependent on outcomes.
Moore, incidentally, said he wished that all the monitoring devices available to competitors were available to the military. This confirms sport's remarkable attention to detail.
It is always hard to come down from the high of a major championships, and especially so from this greatest of Commonwealth Games.
Many sports got it gloriously right. Others did not. Can funding continue at the record levels of the current cycle? Government should be taking the broadest of views, or we may conclude they were simply jumping on a populist bandwagon. By taking independent advice they can avoid such criticism.
Chief executives of some governing bodies will already be using success to build their case, while others attempt to justify failure and hang onto funds.
I spoke yesterday with Frank Dick, the former chair of scottishathletics. Despite improvement from two medals to four, he believes there is "insufficient performance mindset in scottishathletics . . . Swimming knew it was underperforming, and has taken a while to get there, but some of those who won medals for Scotland are quite young.
"The sport has got the message now, and the performance mindset in swimming operates at all levels. You can't have mediocrity at one level, and expect excellence to flow out at another.
"You can go through life settling for a place on the team, or fight for gold. Fighting for gold is a risk business. We should be doing this in athletics. It's not as though we have no history in athletics, but I feel the leadership of this sport becomes uncomfortable in the presence of those who go for broke and focus on top-level performance."
How true is this? Well, the 5000m, 10,000m and marathon native records set by Ian McCafferty, Lachie Stewart and Jim Alder in 1970 were not challenged in Glasgow. They still stand. All three say they've never been approached to advise or coach.
Alder presented the marathon bronze at Hampden to a man who ran slower than he did 44 years ago. "If we don't do something, it's never going to be any better than it is now," said McCafferty, 5000m silver medallist in 1970. John Robson won 1500m bronze in 1978 and set the Scottish national 1500m record 35 years ago. It also still stands.
Now a sports masseur in Kelso, he ran 3:33.83 for 1500m. "Establishment folk took over the sport long ago, and ruined it," he said yesterday. He works mainly with rugby players, but still runs five miles a day at 57. "I'd much rather be working with athletes," he says.
He has encouraged Chris O'Hare on Facebook and reckons he and Jake Wightman, "if they got in the right races, could beat my record".
All four would be happy to mentor athletes. Perhaps the replacement for Stephen Maguire, Scotland's outgoing head of performance, will consult those who have so much to offer when he arrives.
As McCafferty says: "We must have been doing something right."
Sport without a history is sport without a soul. To ignore the lessons of history is simply stupid.

Police: Port Angeles man pointed gun at three boys

Louis Foster Conant, 68, remained in the Clallam County jail Saturday on $7,500 bail after he was charged Friday with one count each of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful display of a weapon and harassment.
Police arrested Conant at his Campbell Avenue home Tuesday after getting a 9-1-1 call from an 11-year-old boy who told police that a white man with white hair and wearing a black hat, black shirt and camouflage shorts had pulled a gun on him.
Arrest report
An arrest report filed in Clallam County Superior Court gave this account:
The boy told police that he and two friends, 9 and 14, were playing in the 100 block of Eckard Avenue when the man came out of his home to the north.
The man, later identified by police as Conant, yelled at the boys and told them stop looking at his property, they said, and then came toward them and pulled out a handgun, later identified as a .45-caliber, two-barrel derringer pistol.
The boys said the muzzle of the gun was pointed toward them and Conant told them it was loaded.
"The suspect stated that he was a sniper in Vietnam and stated something to the effect of, 'If I see this happen again, bad stuff could happen,'" Cpl. Josh Powless wrote in his arrest report.
The boys told police the man had been carrying the gun in a holster on his belt alongside a knife.
Police confirmed Conant lives at the Campbell Street home, is a Vietnam veteran and has a concealed weapons permit.
Conant agreed to come outside when police arrived and contacted him via phone that evening.
Police reported that he was wearing a derringer-style pistol and a large sheathed knife on his belt.
Conant told police he had seen one of the boys looking at his property before Tuesday evening. He believed the boys were looking at his "stuff" and thought that they had ill intentions.
Conant said he had yelled at the boys and told them he had been a sniper. He also said he told the boys he carried a gun and showed it to them, though he denied pointing the gun at them.
"When asked if he felt threatened by the juveniles at any time, Conant said no," Powless wrote.
Police confirmed the gun was a black derringer-style pistol with a round in each of the two barrels.

On Friday 16th March, Blkmarket Membership brings back the Drumcode night to New York. Featuring Adam Beyer, Ida Engberg and Alexi Delano along with residents Taimur & Fahad. 2010's Drumcode night was absolutely insane and after many requests to bring the show again to the city, Adam's band is back once again.
Adam Beyer needs no introduction. With three record labels (Drumcode, Truesoul and Madeye) under his belt, he can been seen as one of the top techno artists in the world and one of the best to come out of Sweden. He has stuck to his hard percussive sound, shaking clubs and festivals the world over.
Ida Engberg's name is one that has come up recently over the last few years. She has been taken under Adam Beyer's wing and since has been touring the world all over with him. With not many productions under her belt, Ida's name has come up just from her DJing skills.
A long time friend and one of New York's best DJ's hands down, Alexi Delano's discography and djing has spanned over the course of 2 decades. Alexi will be providing us with one of his of his famous closing sets in the morning.
Residents Taimur & Fahad open up the party with an extended opening set.

The San Francisco Giants are the hottest ticket in Lodi.
It's been over a decade since San Francisco played for a World Series championship, but all that changes today with Game 1 against the Anaheim Angels in baseball's first all wild-card World Series.
The fans couldn't be merrier.
Tokay High School Athletic Director Ken Israel, a Giants fan for more than four decades, said the World Series frenzy may not be blatantly obvious on the streets of Lodi, but it does exist.
"I happen to know of many longtime Giants fans in town," Israel said. "And every single one of them is ecstatic about the World Series."
The fans have endured the lean years after the Bay Bridge Series against the Oakland Athletics in 1989 and an even longer drought following a 1962 World Series matchup with the New York Yankees.
Unfortunately, San Francisco lost both times, being swept 4-0 by cross-bay rival Oakland, and losing to the Yankees 4-3.
The only world title for the Giants came while playing at the Polo Grounds in New York back in 1954.
After 44 years and only two World Series appearances, the fans are just as, if not more, hungry as superstar Barry Bonds.
This year's National League batting champion is seeking his first World Series ring in 17 years, while the fans are hungry for the franchise's second title and first on the West Coast.
The 1989 series is remembered for the Loma Prieta earthquake. Two local Giants fans attended Game 3 at Candlestick Park that year not once, but twice, when the tremor interrupted play.
Lodi Parks and Recreation Supervisor Mike Reese and Israel agree that the circumstances were unusual, but they were glad to attend two games for the price of one.
"My son was a little apprehensive about going back for Game 3. And rightfully so. But it was worth the return trip," said Israel, who has been a Giants fan since he was 10 years old when the team relocated to California in 1958.
With picturesque Pacific Bell Park nestled next to San Francisco Bay, many Lodi-area residents have made the 90-minute drive to "The City" on a regular basis.
San Joaquin Athletic Association Commissioner Randy Snider, a season-ticket holder since 1982, said the park itself is reason enough to attend a Giants game. He currently splits season tickets with three others.
"It's a fabulous facility," Snider said.
Reese agreed.
"It's a gorgeous ballpark and it's a joy to go to attend a game," he said, adding that the Giants making the World Series has given him a second postseason life this year.
"I was home (last) Friday with a sick child and I missed a call at work to go to Game 5 against the Cards," Reese said. "The guys who went got sprayed with champagne and got to high-five the players. I would have loved to have been there. But I'll get another chance to get tickets … hopefully."
Israel, who shares season tickets with two friends, said he'll be at Game 4 on Wednesday and he's counting the hours.
"I was at Game 7 in 1962 when Bobby Richardson caught Willie McCovey's line drive to win the series for the Yankees," said Israel, who still has the program from when the Giants played their first game in San Francisco. "I have many vivid memories and I'm sure that I'll get new ones this year."
However, with frustration levels reaching an all-time high for fans trying to obtain tickets, getting to the World Series is a tough road.
"My wife, who works at Delta Radiology, said people at work are having trouble even speaking to live bodies when they try to order tickets online or on the phone," Israel said. "The demand for tickets is overwhelming the agencies and as a result getting tickets is nearly impossible."
A search on the Internet confirmed that.
One ticket source is currently selling tickets for Game 3 for between $375 to $1,500 each. VIP tickets cost up to $5,400.
But there are alternatives for the majority of Giants fans who can't gain entrance into Pac Bell Park.
From watching at bars or restaurants, to inviting friends over and ordering takeout, fans in Lodi will be glued to television sets today and for the remaining games of the World Series.
Pine Street Pub co-owner Gary Smith said the National League Championship Series increased business and he's expecting more during the World Series.
"Everybody wants to be with their buddies when they're watching the game," Smith said. "When something as big as the World Series comes along, business always picks up."
Pizza Works assistant manager April O'Neill said Monday night was busy.
"We had 49ers and Giants fans all wanting to watch their teams play," O'Neill said. "I'm sure it will pick up even more during the World Series."
Restaurants haven't been the only businesses to benefit during San Francisco's ride to the World Series.
Lodi Sporting Goods reported that while normal items such as Giants hats haven't sold more than usual, requests for official World Series replica hats and T-shirts are high.
Manager Gene Keith said license-plate bumper stickers have been a hot ticket lately and that all 12 jerseys in stock were sold.
"The NLCS and World Series stuff will sell out as soon as we get it," Keith said.
All-Star Sports and Batter Box manager Mike Conroy said he expects sales to increase even more if the Giants win the World Series.
"Most fans that attend the games already have their stuff, but they don't have the World Series and NLCS gear yet," Conroy said. "That's the gear they will want."
If the Giants win the World Series, orange and black will be seen everywhere, said Israel, whose "Giants" license plate is the only one in all of California.
"I haven't seen many of the kids on campus decked out in Giants gear yet," he said. "But where I only saw one New England Patriots jersey last year before the Super Bowl, the kids jumped on the bandwagon after they beat the St. Louis Rams. The same can be expected if the Giants win."
Israel said he has seen several adults sporting Giants ballcaps.
"I think the World Series means a little more to the older people who have history with the Giants," he said. "Adults have a greater appreciation for how hard it is to get to the World Series and they understand that they better enjoy it because there aren't any guarantees that the Giants will be back in the World Series anytime soon."

Cedrick Poutasi was one of the dominant prospects at the recent Elite Linemen Challenge in Las Vegas and at the time the 6-foot-5, 322-pound offensive guard only had an offer from Idaho.
That has changed significantly in the last two weeks. Since that time, Poutasi has become one of the hottest recruits on the West Coast.
Arizona and SMU offered last week and now UCLA and UNLV are also on the list for Poutasi, who plays at Las Vegas Desert Pines. More Pac-10 schools and even some SEC programs are now showing interest.
Article Continues Below
"I'm really happy," Poutasi said.
"The Badger Event was really competitive. There were a lot of top guys over there and I was happy the offers started coming in. They saw the highlights and the coaches said they loved it so I was happy with what I did over there.
"I don't really have a favorite. All the schools I have right now are great schools and I like all of their programs so that's good."
Poutasi, who said he's hearing from Oregon, Cal, Arkansas and Auburn, will have another national stage this weekend to show off his game since he will work out at the Los Angeles NIKE Camp at USC on Sunday.
Before the NIKE Camp, Poutasi plans to take an unofficial visit to UCLA. The Bruins got involved in the last couple days and the Las Vegas standout wants to check out what they can offer.
"They said they saw the highlights and I talked to coach (Rick) Neuheisel and when I talked to him he said he loves the way I play with a mean streak but I'm a humble person off the field," Poutasi said.
"I was very happy he said that and that they offered me a scholarship. I'm looking forward to seeing that campus."

Here is a cockatoo sitting right on top of the Sydney Opera House. I like the way his yellow feathers mimic the shapes of the Sydney Opera House so I used 300 mm tlelphoto lens to get this photo. Tomorrow I can post a wide angle shot to show you where the bird was sitting on the very tip of the SOH.

Better video card?
Hi guys, I am looking for a video card I hope to get for Christmas XD.
I just want to know if the EVGA GTX 460 FTW is a whole lot better then the video card I have right now.
It seems like some of the stuff on the 460 is slower then the 275, do the faster things on the 460 make up for it?
Do you guys think this video card is worth it?
Can I use this in SLI with my current video card? I think I have read that people will do SLI and use one card just for PhysX. If this is possible, how could I do this?

Seychelles Tourism Earnings Up 17 Pct In 2012
Tourism earnings in the Seychelles rose by 17 percent to 3 billion rupees (USD$250.83 million), the National Bureau of Statistics said.
Tourism is the Indian Ocean archipelago's mainstay and earnings growth from the sector accelerated from 5 percent the previous year despite a slowdown in the number of visitors.
Visitor arrivals grew 7 percent in 2012 to 208,034, slowing from an 11 percent increase in 2011, the statistics office said.
While the bulk of visitors last year came from the traditional European market there was little growth. Arrivals from Asia increased at a faster rate with many coming from China.
Seychelles is a popular leisure destination, famed for its azure waters, white beaches and luxury spas. However, the slowdown in European economies has weighed heavily on tourism and the government is looking to develop new Asian markets.
The country forecasts modest growth in tourism of 3 percent this year.
The sector has struggled to grow as the euro zone debt crisis has hit European travel, while the Seychelles is vulnerable to volatility in global food and fuel prices.
Seychelles economic growth is expected to reach 3 percent in 2013 while inflation has slowed to 3.6 percent.

Abike Dabiri Blasts Patience Jonathan "U're An Embarrassment To Nigeria"
March 8, 2015 – Abike Dabiri Blasts Patience Jonathan "U're An Embarrassment To Nigeria"
In response to Patience Jonathan's 'stone at sight' order given to PDP members in Calabar, House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Abike Dabiri- Erewa has described the first lady and her statement as a total embarrassment to the whole country.
In her words:
"Mrs. Jonathan is an embarrassment to the whole country. The only people shouting her praise or listening to her are the sycophants; outside them, nobody else does.
"She is crude and unrefined. When you travel out of the country, Nigerians keep asking you how we came this bad,".
This is what Patience Jonathan said in the viral video;
"Wetin him dey find again? Him dey drag with him pikin mate. "Old man wey no get brain, him brain don die pata pata'', When you hear anybody saying change, stone them.
The First Lady is yet to dissociate herself from the incriminating statement.

Plan to re-energise T&T's private sector
The Ministry of Planning and Sustainable Development in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has undertaken an assessment of the private sector through the Compete Caribbean Programme. The T&T Private Sector Assessment Report (TT-PSAR) is the result of this effort.
The findings of the TT-PSAR, which was completed last year, are intended to provide stakeholders with a complementary and comprehensive review of programmes, alternatives, and options, including a proposal for priority interventions and an action plan for private sector development. The success of this initiative will be reflected in re-energised private sector support in T&T, and ultimately stakeholders taking ownership of a decided action plan for accelerated growth and development of the private sector.
To this end, the report identifies six priority areas:
• Creating employment opportunities for the young
• Ensuring competitive market mechanism for imports into T&T
• Facilitating the expansion and specialization of the energy sector

Norris Cole > Iman
There is about 20 players I would have been happier taking over Iman. This move hurts us more than you might think. Players around the league know when a team's management sucks and I think they wont want to come here if this team keeps making bad decisions like this. Heck I don't think our own players trust them to make good basketball/coaching decisions.
Hopefully you're right and he's trade bait. But after all the crap we're getting for drafting him so high, I doubt anyone's going to be kicking down the door to get him from us. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Man the Wizards are the biiiiggggg winners in this draft lol. they got the dunking ninja and chris singleton..... you dont know how happy they are right now to get a guy that was projected to be a top 12 pick.
I'm not mad that they got Shumpert. But at 17?! Come on if they wanted him they could have got him in the second round. We had Singleton and Faried at our figuretips and basically let them fall. Nothing else is going to happen tonight with the Knicks like always. Shumpert is staying and we'll have to wait and see. Damn I wanted Singleton. The kid is going to destroy in the NBA. He is so going to prove the other teams that didn't pick him wrong.

The racing career of Australia's iron maiden, multiple group 1 winner Gold Edition (Lion Hunter-Glimmers), is over after she resumed from a spell in the group I Lightning Stakes on 2 February at Flemington and failed to run a place.
She led them up a merry chase but was in trouble when the challengers loomed at the furlong mark and faded to finish 4th. Upon examination post race it was discovered the great mare who won 16 races and over Aus$3.1million in stakes, had suffered an injury.
"So we have pulled the pin on her racing career," said trainer Ron Maund. "She has been too good to us and she is simply not relishing running fast anymore. There is wear and tear in her legs from her 30 odd starts, so it is best she be retired now. It is sad, but she is so brave and deserves to have a rest now."
Gold Edition had not raced for four months, but punters rallied and made her a long odds-on favorite despite the calibre of opposition.
The race went to prolific group 1 winner and phenomenal first up specialist Apache Cat, who has a cult following as a result of his racetrack ability and astonishing looks. He has four white socks and a completely white head. And when he pokes it out in front he is awfully hard to beat. This was his 5th time resuming from a spell and his 4th win - but when you claim a 5 furlong group 1 race worth Aus$501,000 (U.S.$450,000), it creates some interest.
"We all know how good he is first up, but to win a race that short sets him up for yet another great campaign," enthused his young and highly gifted trainer Greg Eurell. "We have always wanted to race him overseas and will look into that now. He would be suited at Hong Kong because he can race on any surface and any direction."
Apache Cat, who is by Lion Cavern, is a monster to look at with a huge chest and powerful running action. The 4-year-old has already earned over $2.2million in stakes, and he allowed the speedsters time to duel out in front before launching his powerful finishing burst down the middle of the track to claim victory over track specialist and group II winner Swick who came from near last with a rattling run to get within a half length of the winner.
Stanzout came from midfield to just nose the injured and distressed Gold Edition out of third spot in a slick 57.26sec down the Flemington straight 5 furlongs.
Over the next two months, there are four more group I sprint races in Victoria and Apache Cat will be aimed at them all, as will 5th placegetter Miss Finland, who absolutely flew home over the last furlong in a run that suggests she may well prefer sprinting to staying. Four months ago, she was favourite to win the group 1 two mile Melbourne Cup, proving her astonsihing versatility.

barrats is a shop where you can be guaranteed real quality shoes. i usually buy black leather work shoes from here. they have a wide variety of all shoes for men women and children. definately one of the best places to buy childrens school shoes.
they are quite expensive but really worth it.
they have soft leather which doesnt absolutely cripple your feet.
it costs me around £50 for an adults pair of shoes from their however they usually have offers on where you can get two pairs for around sixty pounds. they do last a long time about a year and a half where as cheap shoes last about a month and are ruined. childrens black leather shoes usually cost me about £25 but again last a long time and are real value for money. it isnt just formal shoes that they sell they do have a wide rang of night out shoes which are also of a high standard

That's what Gary Brecher a.k.a the "War Nerd" wants to know. Brecher fired off a letter to the New York Times accusing op-ed columnist and world-weary traveler Nick Kristof of plagiarizing a March 6 column in which Brecher alleged "more or less ironically" that Dick Cheney is an Iranian mole.
On March 20, the Times published Kristof's column, "Iran's Operative in the White House," with "Is Dick Cheney an Iranian mole?" as its subtitle. [For those of you without TimesSelect, here's a link to Kristof's full column.]
"Kristoff [sic] could have done the decent thing and cited my column," Brecher wrote. "Instead he claimed the Cheney-as-Iranian-mole idea as his own."
FishbowlNY combed through both columns and found no direct evidence of lifted text but, as Brecher points out, the mole "idea" no doubt appeared in his column first:
So far, Iran has been the big winner in this war, and they haven't fired a shot or lost a man. Pretty incredible. Makes me dizzy to think of it, makes me wonder if Cheney isn't actually a mole.
But in fact there's an American who has provided services of incalculably greater value to Iran in recent years. So you have to wonder: Is Dick Cheney an Iranian mole?
"Dozens of my readers have written to me to call this brazen theft to my attention," Brecher continued. "I expect the NYT to publish an acknowledgment of this plagiarism, with an apology by Kristoff [sic]. My agent informs me that he has a history of such theft, so he should be familiar with the drill."
E-mails to the Kristof and the Times seeking a response have yet to be returned. UPDATE: New York Times spokesperson Diane McNulty denies any plagiarism:
Nick Kristof never saw the blogger's posting before writing his column, and there plainly is no "plagiarism." The blogger used the term "mole" in regards to Cheney once deep in a posting about the partitioning of Iraq. Nick wrote a column about how various policies of the Bush administration have benefited Iran and used the "mole" idea thematically throughout the piece. Where's the plagiarism?
Brecher's full memo:
—–Original Message—–
From: Gary Brecher
Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 9:35 PM
To: REDACTED
Subject: Here's what I sent to the NY Times
To Whom It May Concern:
I, Gary Brecher, aka "The War Nerd," would like to bring to your attention a case of plagiarism by your columnist N. Kristoff. My column, "The War Nerd," is a widely read online commentary on military history and contemporary war news. I've been featured by nearly every major outlet, including such ideologically opposing sites as Fox and AlterNet, interviewed by UPI, and blogged by thousands of sites. My column gets millions of unique hits per month.
On March 6, 2007, I wrote a column alleging, more or less ironically,
that Dick Cheney is an Iranian mole. Here's a link to that column:
One month later, your columnist Kristoff wrote a column called, "Is Dick Cheney an Iranian Mole?" Kristoff could have done the decent thing and cited my column. Instead he claimed the Cheney-as-Iranian-mole idea as his own.
Dozens of my readers have written to me to call this brazen theft to my attention. I expect the NYT to publish an acknowledgment of this plagiarism, with an apology by Kristoff. My agent informs me that he has a history of such theft, so he should be familiar with the drill.

THE Elite Cinema in Leyburn used to have them queuing out the doors to see the latest blockbuster movies featuring top Hollywood stars. Now the former cinema, which closed six years ago, is proving a box office hit for Charltons Estate Agents as a result of its refurbishment into stylish residential apartments and a streetfacing office suite.
Renamed Elite Apartments, the old picture house has seen four of its new units sold off plan, prior to their completion. Charltons' principal, Mike Charlton, is expecting there to be a big demand for the final two apartments, one of which is now ready for occupation.
"Elite Apartments offers stunning accommodation in the heart of Leyburn, which is itself an extremely desirable residential location," said Mike.
Loading article content
"The three-bedroom apartment we are now able to offer for sale features a fabulous openplan lounge, kitchen and dining area with a south-facing balcony overlooking Penn Hill and the beautiful landscape of Wensleydale.
"For those seeking the convenience of apartment living, this property and its location are second to none."
The apartment, which is available for immediate possession, features three double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, a further bathroom, fully-fitted and integrated kitchen and oak flooring in the open-plan living area.
Two further apartments were sold prior to the completion of their refurbishment, as was the commercial unit which has been created in the former foyer of the cinema and will be used as an office. A third completed apartment is under offer and another has yet to be completed. It will be brought to the market within a few months.
The Elite Cinema dated from the 1920s, when the silent movies gave way to 'talkies' and black and white films were brought to realistic life in Technicolor. It closed in 2007 when the owners decided to retire after running the cinema for 13 years but was reopened as The Picture House seven months later by a group of volunteers registered as a charity. In October, 2008, however, the cinema closed for the last time.
Prior to its recent refurbishment, the 172- seat auditorium survived almost intact.
"We had originally hoped to sell the Elite as a going concern but unfortunately there was little demand," said Mike. "Sadly, for those of us who fondly remember going to the pictures for Saturday matinees and to see the big movies of a golden era, time had moved on.
"What has been created out of the cinema's demise, however, is a beautiful and soughtafter complex that retains the art deco features of its façade while offering accommodation built to the exacting standards of quality and insulation demanded in the 21st century.
Elite Apartments is a fitting metamorphosis of a much-loved Leyburn institution."
The three-bedroom apartment at Elite Apartments is offered for sale at a fixed price of £250,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing contact Charlton's Estate Agents on 01748 822525 or log on to www.charltonsestateagents.com.

Roberto Mancini, the Manchester City manager, has expressed his disappointment with Shaun Wright-Phillips's decision to go public with his grievances about the club's reluctance to give him the £25m contract that he wants.
Wright-Phillips, who will have two years remaining on his £60,000-a-week deal at the end of the season, has turned down City's offer of a year-long extension and a pay rise to £70,000-a-week. The England international has asked for a five‑year contract with a weekly salary closer to £100,000 and City's refusal to accept those demands led to him criticising them in a specially arranged interview with The Sun last week, breaking a club rule that players should speak to the media only with prior permission.
Wright-Phillips's complaints about being unfairly treated in relation to some of his better-paid team-mates were preceded by his father, the former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright, castigating City's chief executive, Garry Cook, and the football administrator, Brian Marwood, for "mugging off" his son and treating him "like a youth-team player".
The personal nature of that attack – Wright also said of Cook and Marwood that "they don't know what they are doing" – has gone down badly at City, where the feeling is that Wright-Phillips is being badly advised not just by his father but also by his agent, the former Tottenham player Mitchell Thomas.
"I am happy with Shaun because he always gives 100%, but I would prefer it if the player speaks to me rather than the newspapers," Mancini said. "Shaun has never spoken to me about it once. If a player speaks with me it's much better for everyone – the player, me, the club. I have no problem with Shaun but it's now in the newspapers that there are problems."
The problem for Wright-Phillips is largely one of timing, given that he rejoined City from Chelsea in the days before the Abu Dhabi United Group's takeover established a new pay ceiling at the club, but his demands have surprised the men in power at Eastlands given that he will be 30 when his current deal expires and has had an inconsistent season so far.
Depicting himself as feeling under-appreciated and hard done by, Wright‑Phillips also complained that he had been asked to play while carrying an injury, but Mancini said he did not know if that was true: "For me there is no problem."
Wright-Phillips's interview was deliberately timed on the back of him scoring a substitute's goal for England in their 3-1 defeat of Egypt but the club's management think the player should re-assess his priorities.
City go to Sunderland on Sundayon Sunday in a strong position to finish the season in fourth place and qualify for the Champions League and Mancini said: "We have an important target and, when we reach that target, then we can talk about contracts. What is important now is that Shaun plays very well for the team. The important thing is the team. We have time to discuss his contract later."

Structured, graphic locks led the look at Givenchy. Hairstylist Luigi Murenu wanted models to have strikingly different textures and shapes. "Think New Wave, with crisp edges and graphic patterns. Or modern Gothic, if you wish," he said.
After blow-drying, long hairpieces were added to thicken tresses, together with Kérastase Nutritive Mousse. Then Murenu slicked hair from the forehead to the crown with Kiehl's Clean Hold Styling Gel, giving the section a flat, wet finish. From the crown down, he crimped locks and left them matte. A cloud of Elnett Satin Hairspray held everything in place.
For makeup, Tom Pecheux chose a toned-down face with no focus. "It's very Givenchy. Skin is pale and matte, lips are neutral," he said backstage. Pecheux lightened brows to open up the look, then added a pale, pearl gray shadow from MAC called Scene.

MODESTO (CBS / AP) — A Central Valley school teacher has quit his job and left his wife and kids to move into an apartment with an 18-year-old student less than half his age.
The Modesto Bee said the teen's mother has waged a Facebook campaign since her daughter moved out of the family's home last week and into a Modesto apartment with 41-year-old James Hooker.
Hooker quit his teaching job at Enochs High School last week and left his wife and children, one of them an Enochs student, to live with Enochs senior Jordan Powers.
Modesto police are investigating whether there was inappropriate contact before the girl turned 18 last fall.
Hooker acknowledges the couple hurt a lot of people, but said they decided to follow their hearts.

High above the clouds on Mt. Olympus, the council of deities are smiling down upon two childhood friends: Vasili Kotsiovos (Founder and CEO) and Dino Marougas (Chief Culinary Officer and former chef at the Patina Group). With a deep passion for food and a rich heritage (borne from the regions of Athens, Tessaloniki and Patras), Kentro Greek Kitchen is their homage to everything evocative of the good life that is characteristic of the Hellenic Republic: good food, good wine, good company.
Kentro, or Center in Greek, is at the core of hip and modern this side of Orange County. You won't find the imposing columns, prominent flag and kitschy landscapes that scream stereotypical Greek eatery here. Conceptualized as a boutique restaurant, Kentro veers from these cookie-cutter establishments by offering a specialized, authentic cuisine; a vibrant atmosphere; and a deft hand of subdued sophistication.
The menu at Kentro is an updated version of grandma's much-loved recipes; with a slight twist for the more discerning foodaficionado. Standout entrées include a delectable roster of paithakia (grilled, frenched lamb chops), brizola (rib-eye in red wine ) and pork souvlaki (marinated pork skewer). If creatures from the sea are more your style, they also serve pan-fried or char-broiled seasonal fish dishes. Although most people stay safe and nix the broiled octopus, it will definitely entice the more adventurous palate.
Ideal for sharing at the table are small plates like melitzanosalata (eggplant, garlic and parsley spread), zucchini keftedes (zucchini fritters with pickled vegetables and yogurt) and a beet salad (beets, figs, manouri cheese with a walnut vinaigrette). The saganaki (pan-fried kefalotiri cheese) and mousaka (an eggplant casserole akin to lasagna) always garner rave reviews and the loukoumades (warm, dense beignets bathed in a cinnamon honey syrup) are legendary.
During the day, you can laze about Kentro with a cup of finely stone ground Greek espresso or frappe and grab a sto heri, meaning "in hand", like a pastry or pita wrap. In the evening, the coffee counter turns into a wine bar where one can gather with friends to discuss art, politics or the new Facebook killer, Google+.
One corner of the restaurant is dedicated to the marketplace or mini Agora, if you will. All imported from Greece, showcased are beer and specialty foods such as figs, pastries, chocolates and coffees. The handpicked red and white varietals tap into an unsaturated Greek wine market. With just a few items purchased, you are able to take some of the tastes of your dining experience home to enjoy.
3 Questions with Vasili Kotsiovos:
1. What sets Kentro apart from the other Greek restaurants that most people visit?
Kentro is the first of its kind in regards to the experience we give our guests. At Kentro, we are not only serving hand created couture Greek dishes; we are serving and creating an experience as well. Kentro has been a 10 year consumer market project for us. When you visit Kentro, you are experiencing a culmination of our travels to Greece and our interactions with the European lifestyle of eating out. Kentro places you in an environment that welcomes interaction with other guests.
2.Why and how did you and Dino decide on pursuing a restaurant career?
Dino and I share the same passion for the industry; creating and delivering a product that not only touches on taste but on the over all experience our guests receive. We wanted to elevate the Greek food dining scene by creating a contemporary Greek eatery that touches on those two principles. Kentro is at the forefront of the Greek dining segment. With that said, we look forward to expanding the Kentro brand.
If I was in front of a firing squad, I would first order a Grey Goose & Soda! After that, I would request my Chief Culinary Officer/partner Dino to make me my two favorite dishes, Paithakia and Zucchini Keftedes, or any one of the Greek dishes found at Kentro. Each and everyone of them are amazing!
Kentro's success is attributed to a strong balance of business savvy, charisma and hedonism. The restrained decor countered with the decadent flavor profiles make for a unique and memorable dining experience. Their gracious hospitality will make you feel as though you have become an adopted member of the big, Greek dining family. In the immortal words of Telly Savalas, who loves you baby?
Kentro: Food for the Gods!
