Recognize an early-career geoscientist for excellence
Now that AGU is accepting nominations for this year's awards (the deadline is March 15), I thought I'd throw out a pitch for the early career awards – and particularly the one that I'm most heavily involved in, the Science For Solutions Award.

What happened to Ms. Gottschalk? Fall Meeting!
By Larry O'Hanlon A couple of weeks ago on this blog we shared some great student vlogging of AGU Fall Meeting experiences. At that time I noticed something peculiar about the vlogs of Portland State University undergraduate student Kimberly Gottschalk. In each new vlog post her appearance changed. She started with an almost a Victorian formality on the first day, and transformed gradually into what I suspect is her more …

AGU Fall Meeting 2015: Guide TO Conference-Goers
You've probably seen all the excellent "How to navigate a conference" posts that pop up in the fall and winter each year, and they're great, but this isn't one of them. My take is a little different; I'm going to give you a kind of bird-watcher-style guide to the people you're sure to meet every year at AGU Fall Meeting. Many of us fall into one or more of these categories, depending on the ways we find to survive the whirlwind conference week.

AGU Fall Meeting 2015: Taking the Lead
This year, you may have noticed I didn't do a Social Media Roundup, and I'm not using my usual Day 1, Day 2, etc. titles. Partially, that's because AGU has been doing a fantastic job of advertising the social media activities going on this year, and because there are now too many social-media-related sessions, talks and posters to list in one place. That's wonderful! But I'm also changing things up …
Dr. G's #AGU15 Spotlight – Heads and Chairs Workshop
My first post from #AGU15 – a day at the Heads and Chairs Workshop (and what I learned, even though I'm not yet a department chair)
9 November 2015
What makes newsworthy science? Depends on your audience.
As a scientist-turned-journalist, I have approached scientific research from two different angles. When I was a researcher, I paid the most attention to papers that related to my specific areas of interest, and evaluated them based on how they furthered my community's understanding of my field. As a reporter, however, I consume new research with a slightly different set of questions in mind. I still wonder, "what do these results tell us about how the world works?" but I also have to ask myself, "will my audience be interested?"
2 November 2015
Showing by (simply) telling
Why did I decide to submit an abstract for the "Up-Goer Five Giving-It-a-Try" session at the 2015 AGU Fall Meeting, which challenges scientists to explain their work using only the 1,000 most common words in the English language? Well, I'm already presenting my research for the meeting, so I've got the talk outline and figures already queued up. That made my decision easier. But, what I really wanted was to see whether I could translate my work into simplified language. Scientists love jargon, but I think it's equally as fun to discover just how common (or uncommon) even basic geology-related words are. All I can say is that it's lucky "rock" is one of those words, or it would have been really hard to write my abstract in Up-Goer language!

Ignite a crowd, in just 5 minutes, at the AGU Fall Meeting
Scientists are increasingly encouraged to share the meaning and implications of their research with non-scientists. And, as many who have attempted this endeavor at a party or a Thanksgiving dinner table know, talking about scientific research with those outside your field is difficult. Yet, it can be fun and rewarding.
Being able to convey the details and importance of your work can help to boost public support for science, enhance your career prospects and improve your chances of finding funding. Communication is a skill not typically taught as part of scientific training, but training and practice can help you communicate more effectively.
Ignite@AGU is one such opportunity for researchers to hone their communication skills and become more comfortable talking about their work with diverse audiences. Similar to a TED talk, Ignite gives presenters just five minutes and 20 auto-advancing slides to make their point.

Original paper
Multifractal modelling of the sizes and grades of giant and supergiant deposits
Agterberg, F. P.
Global Tectonics and Metallogeny Volume 6 Number 2 (1996), p. 131 - 136
15 references
published: Jul 31, 1996
ArtNo. ESP136000602003, Price: 19.00 €
The high-value tails of the sizes and size-grade distributions for sets of mineral deposits can often be modelled as Pareto distributions plotting as straight lines on log-log paper. The multifractal model for size-grade distributions proposed here reflects self-similarity (approximate scale independence) of the underlying spatial distributions of the deposits. It predicts that the majority of deposits of the same type can be described by a lognormal distribution but the largest deposits in the tail are controlled by a hyperbolic instead of the lognormal law. This topic is important because most ore comes from the relatively few giants and supergiants in a population of mineral deposits of the same type.

An alternative quantum ground state energy model based on a physical H(-1/2) Hilbert space enabling a quantum gravity model
This section applies the proposed solution concept of the YME section to the harmonic quantum oscillator. The today's 1-dimensional harmonic quantum energy model, which is the Helmholtz free energy, provides the simplest model of a ground state energy definition. The underlying defining function -log2sinh(x) plays also a key role in the vaccum energy of electromagnetic fields and the Planck body radiation law.
The total energy of the harmonic quantum oscillator model is represented by a divergent series. The corresponding "re-normalization technique" is by the argument that "it can be justified that the infinite series over all integers n is finite with value = -1/12".
The solution concept in a nutshell
It is built on the representation of the Hilbert space H(-1/2) in the form = V+W, where V=H(0)=L(2) and W defines the complementary space of L(2) with respect to the inner product of H(-1/2). We note that the eigenfunctions of the Hermitian operator are the Hermite polynomials which span the Hilbert space V. The "lowest" eigenfunction related to the quantum ground state is given by the Gauss-Weierstrass function. Let H denote the Hilbert transform operator. The Hilbert transform of each Hermite polynomial is orthogonal to its origin with respect to the L(2) inner product i.e. they also built an eigenfunction basis of V=H(0). As a consequence of other properties of the Hilbert transforms the commutator (x,H) applied to this alternative eigenfunction basis of L(2) vanishes.
The transition from the classical harmonic oscillator model to a corresponding quantum mechanics description is enabled by the Schrödinger momentum operator P:=-i*h*d/dx. The challenge is that by this transition the commutator (x,P) no longer vanishes, as it is the case for the classical model (x,p).
The operator A (and the underlying definition of the inner product of H(-1/2)) relates to the Hilbert transform basically by the equation
A(d/dx)(u) = H(u) .
This enables an alternative Schrödinger momentum operator definition in the form
P(u):=h*H(u) .
As a consequence of the above the commutator for quantum states related to the space V vanishes (with a corresponding discrete spectrum) while the commutator related to the W-space component of a quantum state in H(-1/2) still not vanishes (with a corresponding continuous spectrum related to the quantum ground state).
We note that the Riesz operators are the n-dimensional analogues of the 1-dimensional Hilbert transform operator; those operators enable the analog approach for space dimensions n>1.
We further note the relationship of the wave equation with the Lalesco-Picard integral equation (TrF): let l and m denote the greek letters "lamda" and "mue" and let A, B denote arbitrary constants. Then the solutions of the wave equation a*exp(m*x)+B*exp(-m*x) solve the (homogenous) Lalesco-Picard integral equation with Parameter l. provided that the absolute value of Re(m):=Re(squar(1-2*l)) is smaller than 1 which, for real l, implies that l>0. For the fields of real numbers the spectrum of the L-P integral equation covers the infinite segment l>0. Each point of this segment is an eigenvalue of index 2 of the L-P equation.
In the following we give some additional context to the related topics of the other sections of this homepage:
Subatomic particles and primes
(DeJ) 18, VII: "The non-trivial zeros of Riemann's zeta function arise from inquiries into the distribution of prime numbers. The eigenvalues of a random Hermitian matrix arise from inquiries into the behavior of systems of subatomic particles under the laws of quantum mechanics. What on earth does the distribution of prime numbers have to do with the behavior of subatomic particles?"
The today´s well accepted zero energy formula of the quantum oscillator is (just (!)) a divergent series. Nobody seems to be concerned about this. Sophisticated renormalization techniques were developed to overcome this home made "issue", when building a quantum field theory. The free energy of a system of interacting oscillators to model the Planck blackbody radiation law contains same divergent series (Feynman R., P., Hibbs A. R., "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals", (10.85)).
At this point we just mention that from a purely mathematical logic point of view it holds that every assertion/conclusion from a wrong assumption is always true. Therefore, from the obvious wrong assumption above one could e.g. conclude that the universe is a stack of turtles, end of story. This recalls the story of "the emperor's new clothes".
The underlying still unsolved mathematical conceptual problem is similar to the non-vanishing constant Fourier coefficient of the Theta function for the RH duality problem. The above solution of the RH in combination with remarkable properties of the Hilbert/Riesz transforms enables an alternative mathematical ground state energy model.
The proposed solution concept for the NSE open question is about rotation-invariant fluids as elements of a Hilbert space with negative (distributional) Hilbert scale defined by the eigenpairs of the Stokes operator. It is enabled by the alternative "normal" derivative definition provided by J. Plemelj (which requires reduced regularity assumptions to the solution u in the size of a reduction from C(1) to C(0)), leading to a energy Hilbert space H(1/2), which does not create a Serrin gap for n=3 and H(1/2) energy Hilbert space.
We claim that the provided NSE solution which is addressing the too strong/restrictive mathematical model assumption of the NSE can be also applied to the Maxwell equations, as well as to the zero state energy "problem" of the harmonic quantum oscillator. The d'Alembert paradox (fluid vs. velocity/momentum) is related to this too restrictive assumptions for the NSE, while the Schrödinger paradox (particle vs. wave/momentum) is related to the latter one.

The Freak Observer
Blythe Woolston
Carolrhoda Lab, 2010
review by Tessa
Loa Lindgren: has a lot on her plate, and even more on her mind
Corey: Loa's absent friend, in more ways than one.
Esther: Loa's accidentally (?) dead friend
Asta: Loa's formerly ill, now dead sister
Jack: successfully friendly with Loa, has found therapy in the ceramics department.
The Bony Guy: Death. Haunts Loa.
What does it feel like before things gets better? That's where Loa Lindgren is now. Luckily for us, her inner narrative is bleakly funny and sprinkled with observant details, even as she wades through a swamp of grief, depression, and PTSD.
The Freak Observer starts with Loa's recounting of the accident that kills her friend Esther. Esther runs out into the road along a curve and gets hit by a truck. Loa's parents, in a cold and almost practical reaction, are mad at her for missing work because of it. Now Loa won't get more hours at the Cozy Pines retirement home. They need the money because her father is out of work.
But this isn't the worst of Loa's problems. Her sister Asta recently died from a genetic disease that left her unable to care for herself, and this is what really broke up Loa's world. She has terrible nightmares where Death haunts her, and crippling attacks of panic from her PTSD, but no money for therapy.
A third layer of the book concerns Corey, a boy who functioned as Loa's friend, escape from the rest of the world, debate partner and sometime sex buddy. He is gone, abruptly leaving for school in Europe.
Loa is left alone to trudge through each day.
What was the book's intention? Was it achieved?
The description on The Freak Observer's jacket simply says that it's "about death, life, astrophysics, and finding beauty in chaos." And that's a smart move on their part. Because writing out all those things that are going on in Loa's life during the course of the book make it sound like a total slog to read. And it's the opposite of a slog. It's a fast ride through a tunnel, bursting out on a view of a city lit up at night.
Blythe Woolston has given Loa Angela Chase levels of introspection, but a darker sense of humor, and more poetic observational skills. For example, one of the first ways we learn about Esther is through a story about the first time Loa saw her as a kid, ending with this statement: "Esther is dead now. She was a defender of puppies and whacker of pigs, and now she is dead." (4). And she watches everything in her life in that way, with a little detachment, but with care. She takes the time to mention that "Chickens don't always cluck…. When they are happy, they sort of hum–they chirp–they purr. The chickens are all around my mother waiting for her to make them happy. They are singing to her in their chicken way." (19).
Reading The Freak Observer is visceral in that it's like looking at something's insides. It's fascinating and vulnerable and bloody. It's for good reason that the (kickass) cover features a large photograph of a (human?) heart. And the first person narration is used to full effect. Since Loa is narrating, the reader sees the world that Loa sees, and interprets people according to her views of them. It also serves to stretch out terrible moments, like this one:
"…I didn't see the rest of the picture right away.
Then I saw Esther.
My first thought was
Her heart has fallen out of her body.
I didn't know that could happen. I didn't know what to do. So I just froze there on the cutbank.
I don't know how to put a heart back into a body.
It was the only thought I had, and it wasn't very useful.
It seemed like a long time, but it wasn't really, because Abel was right behind me, and he pushed me out of the way. I slid down the bank in the loose dirt and rocks. Then I just sat there where I fell. I watched Abel while he grabbed his sister and tried to make her be alive.
I could see that her heart hadn't fallen out. The muscle on her arm had been torn away from the bone. It was just a lump of muscle. Her heart was safe inside her, but she was still dead." (12-13).
Most wonderfully, this is a book about living with loneliness, done undramatically, as when Loa observes that:
"I've known a lot of people, grown up with people, and done stuff with people. I know what color their bedrooms are and if they like to eat a dill pickle before they go to sleep. I watched people outgrow sweatshirts. …But friendship is something more than breathing the same air or touching the same basketball. Not much more, maybe, but something." (74).
or when she remembers her dead dog Ket, saying: "I still miss Ket and the way he used to look at me like he wanted to know what I wanted him to know. It is the sort of look that can easily be mistaken for love." (191).
But this isn't a good book just because it describes those feelings and realizations so perfectly. It's a great book because it lets Loa grow and gives her a little relief and it does it naturally. None of the bad things about Loa's life feel overwrought, and none of the better things feel like plot devices.That's what good realistic fiction should be. I'm so glad that Rebecca recommended this little gem for me.
If I Stay
Gayle Forman
First person narration, heartwrenching subject matter. This one's a little more forced in tone and execution but I didn't care because I was too busy gulping it down and trying not to weep. Mia narrates her days of trying to decide whether to stay in her broken body or die, after a car crash kills her parents.
Looking for Alaska
John Green
There's something about the truthfulness of Loa's voice that reminded me of John Green narration. And they both have black covers with one lone photographic element. And there's death in this one too.
Andromeda Klein
Frank Portman
I won't lie, this book is hard to get into. I almost stopped reading it. So in that way it's nothing like The Freak Observer. But what it does have in common is a complex, loner girl protagonist who is rewarding to get to know and who feels real.
Disclosures & Digressions
Digression: Can I just say how impressed I was with Woolston's dream descriptions? Usually dreams in fiction are such bald allegorical crap. Not so here. Let me quote:
"The Bony Guy likes disguises.
I am watching a late-night show. There is a guest who tried to pay for a cruise with a glossy photograph of the host. The host declares that it ought to be as good as money. It is a picture of him. people like him better than any of the guys on the money,don't they? The audience applauds wildly. Then he has a quiz for all of us. Question 1: Would you watch a bunny rabbit eat some lettuce? Question 2: Would you watch a bird peck something dead by the side of the road? Question 3: would you watch dogs eat a live donkey? The audience applauds wildly." (92-93)
Disclosure: Blythe Woolston sat at a table with me and other librarians at ALA last summer for 5 minutes to shill her books, and she was very personable.

|The kiddos and I had so much fun making our own soap with Homegrown Collective's "Let Us Make Soap" subscription box!
|For my first soap, I decided to use the clear soap base and add cocoa & shea butter, and delicious natural honey (I ate a spoonful and added another to the soap). I also melted the white soap base and poured it on top.
|First step: melt the soap base at 10 second intervals (mine took 30 seconds). Melt the cocoa and shea, also, and stir about a tablespoon into the soap base. I also added a tablespoon of honey from Holly's Little Farm.
|I made a rosemary and spearmint soap, too. All of them turned out so pretty and smell amazing. I can't wait to use them! Especially the honey/shea soaps as I included the luffa with them. Luffa soaps are incredible!
|For the kiddos soap, we used the goat's milk and added a bit of lemon grass essential oil. We poured the melted soap into various candy molds we had in the junk drawer. The smaller soaps took about an hour to dry; the bigger ones about 2.
|Aren't they awesome?! And they smell amazing! The kids were thrilled. We loved our soap making experience. One of my very favorite subscription boxes ever and we have tried so many!

View Poll Results: Which domain might best work for a Hotel Booking Affiliate Program?
- Voters
- 39. You may not vote on this poll
Both (if possible)
Neither, it's a waste of time
Who cares?
Results 1 to 24 of 24
March 10th, 2010, 11:22 AM #1POLL: Opinions, please, on which domain might best fit a Hotel Booking affiliate site
With our background in travel/destination sites we are toying with the idea of developing an affiliate program for "hotel reservations" and have two domains in consideration. We would certainly appreciate your response(s) to the poll and the posting of any comments, critiques, ideas.
To which would you prefer sending your traffic (if you have such traffic)? Or would you have another suggestion (or a domain to sell us - for cheap, or not so cheap).
If you want to tell us we are just plain crazy for trying to move into such a crowded space. We need to hear that, too.
Thank you for you help.Bill / Marketing Blog @ 12PM - Current project: Resurrecting my "baby" at South Baltimore..

I just did a trends report on both and there is search volume for #1 but not for #2. (http://www.google.com/trends?q=Bookable%2CRoomPrices)
I have had good results using trends to determine search volume strength of domain names before I buy.
Just something to think about...
I may be wrong - here is another trend graph with the words seperated:
Sorry - I am just confusing things here... the trend is now leaning toward #2.
March 10th, 2010, 11:59 AM #4
I'll be the contrarian here. I think Bookable.com is very brandable. It's a single word, easily spelled, shorter, and although it's not at obvious as RoomPrices.com that it's for hotel booking, it doesn't come as a surprise. It's also more memorable. When I was typing this post, I had to scroll back up to make sure I got RoomPrices.com right. I almost typed RoomRates.com instead.
March 10th, 2010, 12:13 PM #5
I have to agree with Mr. Contrary, I also think that Bookable.com is very brandable. While roomprices.com says what it is, my mind is filled with bookable.com logo ideas, slogans, maybe even a jingle for when you're huge and have your own tv commercials.
March 10th, 2010, 12:58 PM #6Originally Posted by MichaelColey
I recall reading a Sugarrae post recently that Loxly mentioned about getting brandable domains and not keyword rich domains and I think in this case it makes sense.
RoomPrices.com would make a good domain for an affiliate site.-Don't criticize anyone til you've walked a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticize them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

In my opinion...........My stay in your town is "Bookable" with bookable.comYou must climb this mountain. There is no elevator. ---- Don't stick your finger in the liquid nitrogen.

Both good but for branding, I like Bookable.com better. RoomPrices.com, would keep and use as well. Lots of possibilities. Could be a feeder type site. Could be a hotel room price search engine, powered by Bookable, results being Bookable.com etc.

Hate the bookable one, not a little I hate it a lot. I am thinking books when I hear that name and I dont see it as a brand either.
Roomprices is a little better as it what the site is about. I would be looking for a new domain altogther.Vinny O'Hare - OPM - Contact Info email: vinny at teamloxly.com ~ 702-582-6742 Twitter

If branding is important, find a different domain than bookable. For branding, like expedia, you don't need booking or prices or hotels in the name
For affiliate site, room prices should do well.
March 11th, 2010, 09:44 PM #12
Any other opinions? We'd sure like to hear them.
We should know more next week, but I'm thinking it may be possible to offer more than one "landing" site and domain for a potential affiliate program. If indeed that is possible, I can envision affiliates having two or more choices of theme (look and feel) to which their potential customers can be sent.
BTW, from what I understand, the largest European site for hotel reservations is "Booking.com."Bill / Marketing Blog @ 12PM - Current project: Resurrecting my "baby" at South Baltimore..

I looks like we WILL be able to offer both domains (Bookable dot com & RoomPrices dot com) to which affiliates can send potential customers. They will also have differing color schemes. In fact, we may eventually end up with a variety of sites that may be used. We already have a couple of "niche" city markets that might work.
I need to begin another thread to see what you, as an affiliate, would like to see in a hotel reservations program.Bill / Marketing Blog @ 12PM - Current project: Resurrecting my "baby" at South Baltimore..

I prefer roomprices.com. Bookable just doesn't seem to be on target. You can book a flight, a show, a reservation at a restaurant. So bookable.com simply will not work.
April 7th, 2010, 06:36 PM #15
Looks like it will be BOTH.
One has been online for a few weeks now and has been showing some nice conversions, and the other has just been put online. We would like to "open" with at least two "choices" for affiliates, with easy deep linking available for each. We still need testing of tracking code and creation of marketing collateral (yet) and finishing the deep-linking tool. So, the official launch is still a ways off.
I also have a nicely converting personal site that we may be able to modify and open up to affiliates; and possibly a couple of "state-specific" sites that may work. (Anybody have sites focusing on New Hampshire, Maryland and/or Virginia?)
One of the advantages of working with hotel reservation sales is that there is no worry about "Amazon Tax" situations. Taxes, which can be really screwy in the hospitality industry, have always been handled through the booking consolidator.
We do have one affiliate helping us test things under a "private" agreement. Might be able to work with one more soon...Bill / Marketing Blog @ 12PM - Current project: Resurrecting my "baby" at South Baltimore..

Hey Bill, best of luck with the new program!
Bookable makes me think of "bookable offense", but still great for branding. I like RoomPrices best, but both will work. Don't suppose you'll have any white label options? I'd like to get some of our hotel domains back up and running.Eathan Mertz

White label? Maybe - but not for a while. We are targeting this program to the new(er) hotels affiliates who may be looking to get into hotels/hospitality/travel. If enough volume is produced, then yes, we can arrange for white labeling (through our supplier).
One of the reasons we are targeting the new-to-hotels affiliate is potential it has as a viable backup for some of the people affected by the "Amazon Tax" changes that are going on. Hotels are not affected by that - because taxes have always been charged and paid to the local jurisdictions. The vagaries in sales taxes are weird, but the addition of room taxes and/or entertainment taxes make this a nightmare - but has always been taken into consideration by the hotel consolidators. Taxes/fees are usually listed as a separate item in the sales process in the cart. People are used to it and it doesn't seem to hurt sales.Bill / Marketing Blog @ 12PM - Current project: Resurrecting my "baby" at South Baltimore..

Bookable.com - sound OK but not catchy.. sound like a booking engine for dinners, which should be a good idea
RoomPrices.com - Sound like a price comparison engine like PRICECOMPARISON.comEric Ewe

I don't think that roomprices.com is inherently more specific, I think give the same amount of association with hotels to room as a I do book.
April 9th, 2010, 12:28 PM #22
Bill, I voted for RoomPrices but then I read Michael's post and the others, and I am 100% undecided.
I am assuming this is intended to be a multi-million dollar venture.
If that is correct, I would recommend doing some polling and focus groups. These days you can easily do enough of that for less than $1,000. In fact, if the discrepancy between the two is vast enough, you can do it for free with friends and family. OK, $100 - buy them food.
Without going into the details, I was a part of acquiring another company years ago. The company we acquired did about $240,000 in revenue per year. They were acquired in terms that amounted to over $3.25 million.
On the surface this was terrible math. Typically companies go for about 4-6 times annual revenue.
However, the company never marketed themselves. The name was it. They had almost 100% name recognition despite spending $0 on branding.
I think it was summed up when I mention the possibility to my mother and she said "oh they are huge" when in fact they weren't.
Ultimately you need to find out the following:
What is the current brand recognition of the two?
If you run ads for each, which one is more memorable 20 minutes later? 2 days later?
Which one has the least confusion?
That is more geared towards branding, but I hope it helps.Matt McWilliams

I know you've already decided, but just to add my measly 2 cents: I don't care which one. As long as it's a good program, the name of the site is one of the least important parameters for me.
In fact, re-considering it - as an affiliate, I prefer to work with a domain that's less memorable/brandable. I don't want surfers to remember the domain name, I want them coming back through my site.

Zachary Oliver
Westfall Station Café, located in Westfall Village, Averill Park, opened its doors in September, 2016. Since that time, the restaurant has been serving elegant, world class fare in a warm, casual atmosphere. Westfall Station Café offers a spacious dining room, as well as a welcoming, comfortable tavern area and, weather permitting, outdoor dining near the fire pit on the patio.
The vision for Westfall Station was to enhance the Town of Sand Lake as a beautiful and vibrant place, as when tourists frequented the area by trolley to visit our many lakes and attractions. Westfall Station is now just a 20 minute drive from Albany.
Leading the culinary team at Westfall Station is Executive Chef Zachary Oliver. Born in Bombay India, Zachary was adopted at age 7 by the Oliver family of Sand Lake. Growing up he had the opportunity to work at Kays, Villa Valenti and The Gregory House, received culinary training at BOCES and graduated from APHS in 1999. He expanded his Culinary training at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI.
Chef Oliver was Assistant Kitchen Manager at Dave and Busters in Times Square before pursuing his passion for fine dining. Those journeys saw him working in Nantucket, Cape Cod and Vail, Colorado, where he had the opportunity to live and work at luxury resorts. While working at Wolfgang Puck's Spago, in Colorado he was offered the opportunity to move up to Puck's Singapore CUT restaurant.
While working as Sous Chef at CUT Singapore, Zachary would meet his wife Lanie and a year later would move to Dubai, UAE, as the Executive Sous Chef for CUT Dubai.
After 2 years in Dubai, it was time to come home and find 'the right fit' to continue his passion for fine dining. We believe it is at the Westfall Station Café restaurant, where Chef Zach will bring his vast experience and knowledge back to his hometown.
As well as offering fine dining, we also offer live music on select nights along with drink and menu specials in the tavern area.
The Westfall Station staff will go out of their way to please you, we will always strive to provide you with quality foods and beverages in an environment where our patrons feel welcome and comfortable.
About Westfall Station Cafe
The vision for Westfall Station was formed to help establish the Town of Sand Lake as the beautiful and vibrant place it once was, when tourists frequented our area by trolley to visit our many lakes and attractions. It was also intended to establish another facet of a true "Traditional Neighborhood Development" Westfall Village by offering a quality gathering place for its residents and for the community at large.
The name "Westfall" is derived from the Westfall family who originally occupied the site since 1823, and were subsequently released from the Van Rensselaer patroonship that dominated much of our area.
The Westfall Station staff will go out of their way to please you, we've tried vigorously to provide you with quality foods and beverages in an environment where our patrons feel most comfortable. Our patrons should not settle for less. Edward Patanian-Owner, Zachary Oliver-Chef, Victor Simeone-Bar Manager
Westfall Village History
Westfall Village is a new hamlet is on the north side of Rt. 43 in the town of Sand Lake. A multiuse development, the parcel was known for years to the locals as Bon Acre.
Westfall Village is located on 92 rolling acres in Rensselaer County. This parcel has been used as farm land from earliest recorded history. Once part of the vast Kiliaen Van Rensselaer feudal patroon system, it became the Westfall farm. The Georgian style brick farm house, now on an adjoining parcel, and four other houses in the area were likely built by Harmon Westfall circa 1835.

The Palm Charlotte Ratings and Reviews
I have eaten at the Palm Charlotte for years. My wife and I make the drive just to enjoy the lobster and steak. The steaks are always cooked to the right temperature and the lobster is always perfectly broiled! Sides are family style and dessert is always delicious. Drinks are abundant in choice, even on special requests. Joey, the general manager, and his staff are always friendly, accommodating, there to make your evening perfect! Thank you Joey and to your team!
This was a quiet lunch by myself - as usual everything was delicious - I had lobster bisque,
filet medallions, creamed spinach and of course the yummy cheesecake. Always my go to
place when I go shopping at Southpark. Yes it is more expensive than most - the quality of
the food can't be beat. Had enough left overs to have for supper.
The Palm restaurant in Charlotte is a treat. I don't get there as much as I'd like as it's not an inexpensive night. It's a special occasion place. My son turned 24 and I will have my birthday this week also. It's so much fun to treat him to a fabulous lobster dinner. OMG...abandon all thoughts of calorie counting and dive into the hash browns, lobster mac and cheese and the donut dessert. Always love this treat.
Only disappointment I have is that having been a member of the 837 club they've changed the "rules". You used to get a free lobster coupon for your birthday month, now you have to have spent a $1000 in that year to qualify. Granted it doesn't take but a few visits to get to a $1000 but still disappointing that they added that condition.
Food was good as usual, but service was terrible for the money that you pay. We chose a booth in the bar area figuring the Palm would have good service period, but perhaps we'll stick to the dining area if we ever go back, seems service is usually better there. Compliments to the kitchen though, the prime rib was good as well as the lobster bisque and coconut scallops.
Maitre D sat us at the worse table in a corner of an almost empty room. Never mind the place was half empty. The wine list is very overpriced with wines priced almost at a ratio of 4 to 1. Was able to find a named vineyard Sbragia Napa Cab that was maybe priced 3 to 1. The steak we ordered along with a Nova Scotia lobster was over cooked. The final nail in the coffin was when same Maitre D came back to tell us in an obnoxious manner that we needed to "tone it down". I have eaten in the worlds most expensive restaurants and I as well as my son and his friend are all professionals. We were behaving in a socially acceptable manner. The irony of it was that there was one other table in the entire room with guests. So yes in an empty room and we are having a good time maybe the people at that other table found us too loud. Unless we sat there quietly I do not see how we could have avoided that. Never mind the fact that after the tip I paid a $650 bill so I ask...I guess we were good enough for that right? It seems to me that this Maitre D made a decision for whatever reason that we were not worthy of his establishment and it started when he stuck us in a corner of a near empty room. It was like saying let me stick you guys back here where no one can see you. Do not really understand.. my leather jacket I had on cost me $3000 and my name read Dr.
On the positive side the service provided by our server and her assistant was very good and she tried her best to make us feel comfortable since she realized how obnoxious this Maitre D was. I have dined in Michelin starred restaurants all over the world and this was a first for me. I will never ever return to The Palm in Charlotte.
I made reservations for a group of five women in my family,we labeled it "Girl's Night Out." It was the most beautiful,fun and pleasant night we've spent together in a very long time, we owe that to The Palm Restaurant.The service was impeccable, our waitress was very professional,attentative and extremely nice ,along with the other staff members.The atmosphere was wonderful the food was exceptionable and the view was spectacular! We will be back and we're recommending The Palm to everyone we know,it's a great place to dine out with family and friends thank you so much for ensuring my guest had a wonderful fun and exciting evening!!!!
While the service and food were excellent. I was very turned off by my table location. I requested a round table (which can be converted from most of the four tops) and asked for privacy. We DID get the round table but it was placed in the middle of the room near the entry and exit to the kitchen with waiters rushing all around us. When I asked to be moved I was told all the other tables were reserved. (Doubt it). When I left after dinner many of those "reserved" tables were still empty. As a result, I will not return to the Palm since there are so many other good Charlotte steak houses who go the distance to honor diner requests.
Garlic mashed potatoes were instant potatoes with no garlic. Brussel sprouts were mushy. Green beans almost raw & tasteless. These taken from bill. Lyonaise potatoes & creamed spinach excellent. 3 of the 5 steaks slightly overdone. Staff very professional & attentive though
Saturday night out with another couple. We took advantage of the lobster tail and filet special with sautéed spinach and Brussels sprout sides. An excellently prepared meal and a great bottle of wine. Cheesecake, donut holes and peanut butter pie for dessert were also well received by our group.
Not sure what has happened to the Palm in Charlotte at lunch time. Indifference is the only label that seems to fit. Our steaks were cooked reversed, i.e. the medium rare was medium well and the medium well was rare. (we have had miss-cooked steaks on prior visits). Vegetables are raw and not eatable. Waiter didn't show up much, even though the restaurant was mostly empty. Manager not in sight, not around when we left. My wife and I have loved going there for the Power Lunch but it is not fun anymore. Too bad. Perhaps their dinner performance is better. Would be nice if the lunch service would get back to its very excellent earlier level.
One of my favorite places to dine!
The service is on of the best in Charlotte. Very professional without losing the warmth and caring of the customer. Very friendly environment.
The food was superb! Great portions and the timing b/n appetizers and main course was perfect!
Will continue to save this restaurant for any celebration and/or special occasion.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in the South Park area. You can always count on a great staff, fantastic food, and a wonderful wine selection. I would recommend this for dinner out or business dinner. The steaks are typically cooked to perfection and their fish selections are delicious.
Another enjoyable dinning experience in one of Charlotte's finest restaurants. The lobster feature for two was outstanding. The best lobster that I have had in many years. Plentiful portions, prepared well and served out of the shell. Side dish of potato's au-gratin was very tasty and enjoyable could not finish the side between the two of us.
As always we look forward to our next visit.

Whatever the motivation, Harlequin sure goes into a lot of detail, quoting studies, past data and even Romeo & Juliet.
Economy churns out jobs A healthier labour market is prompting people to hunt for jobs. The economy pumped out 69,000 jobs in January, though the unemployment rate inched up to 7.8 per cent as more people joined the search for work, The Globe and Mail's Tavia Grant reports today.
Still, that's also a stark reminder that there are unemployed workers out there who aren't counted because they aren't looking.
The job gains were split between full- and part-time work, Statistics Canada reported. Here are some interesting tidbits from today's report:
- Part-time employment is up by 2.8 per cent over the past year, while full-time work has increased by 1.7 per cent.
- The public sector has notched up employment gains of 3.4 per cent in the last year, and the private sector 2.5 per cent. Self-employment has dropped by 2.3 per cent.
- Manufacturing which had taken such a hit, has gained 57,000 jobs over the 12 months.
- Job gains among women have, over the last year, been concentrated among those 55 or older. Men aged 25 to 54 have made stronger gains than those above 55, though.
- Youth unemployment remains stubborn, with the jobless rate actually rising in January to 14.4 per cent. The jobs market for young people has stalled over the last year.
"Following last week's release of benchmark job revisions that downgraded last year's job gains, Canada can, once again, trumpet the fact that 428,000 in net job losses during the recession have been fully recouped (and then some)," said deputy chief economist Derek Burleton of Toronto-Dominion Bank.
"Notwithstanding today's good news, the labour market still has a significant amount of healing to do. The number of full-time jobs continues to sit about 100,000 positions short of its level prior to the downturn, while both the employment-to-population ratio and the labour force participation rate remain under water by some 1 to 2 percentage points. Lastly, the jobless rate was plumbing the depths at about 6 per cent as recently as mid-2008."
U.S. adds few jobs The United States remains mired in a jobs crisis, unable to climb back in any meaningful way from the ugly toll of the recession.
The U.S. economy created just 36,000 in January, the Labor Department said today, though it's worth noting that the private sector added 50,000 positions.
The jobless rate, which, unlike the Statistics Canada comes from a separate survey, declined to 9 per cent. Besides poor weather conditions, there were weird factors, and two different surveys, at play.
"New, lower population estimates were used for the household survey results for January 2011, but were not backdated into the December 2010 results," said Avery Shenfeld, the chief economist at CIBC World Markets.
"If the December population is adjusted downward by a similar margin, the total change in household survey employment shows up as a sharp gain of 589,000, rather than the modest 117,000 in the actual data. That explains why the unemployment rate dropped so sharply in the month. As well, the household survey results were even more impressive given that weather kept 707,000 Americans from working that week."
TSX chalks up gains Canada's benchmark stock index is now just about 10 per cent shy of its record high, having climbed back from the depths of the crisis.
The S&P/TSX composite still has a way to go before topping the previous high of 15,073 on June 18, 2008, but stronger economic signs and higher commodity prices are pushing it along.
"We would point out that had you invested the day before Lehman went down, you would have had higher total returns in the TSX than in bonds (even with the incredible carnage in stocks in late 2008) thanks to the powerful recovery in stocks over the past two years," notes deputy chief economist Douglas Porter of BMO Nesbitt Burns.
Leaders warn of food price hikes World leaders are issuing warnings again today over the dangers of spiralling food prices. France's farm minister, Bruno Le Maire, and the chief of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Jacques Diouf, held a news conference in Rome, where they said they want action against commodities speculators.
"We share the same view that today the real risk of a global food crisis exists," the French official told reporters, according to Reuters.
Yesterday, the FAO said food prices hit a fresh record in January, sparking new warnings of spreading unrest.
In Egypt, costs rise The costs to Egypt's economy are rising as the 10-day uprising shows no signs of easing, having turned deadly amid mounting pressure on President Hosni Mubarak to leave.
The country's vice-president said yesterday that tourists are fleeing the country, as are investors, with costs so far of at least $1-billion (U.S.).
A more independent report, from analysts at Credit Agricole, pegged costs at at least $310-million a day. The bank also cut its projections for economic in Egypt to 3.7 per cent this year.
Domtar posts higher profit Domtar Corp. today reported fourth-quarter profit of $325-million (U.S.) or $7.59 a share, up sharply from $124-million or $2.86 a year earlier.
The Montreal-based paper company said revenue dipped to $1.37-billion from $1.4-billion.
"Fourth quarter paper shipments were weaker partly due to seasonal factors, but our average pricing held up well," said chief executive officer John Williams. "We were able to post best ever fourth quarter profit before items even though production related issues resulted in higher than expected maintenance costs."
Boyd Erman's Morning Meeting U.S. regulators including the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. are set to recommend more clawbacks and deferrals for trader pay at large financial institutions, Streetwise columnist Boyd Erman reports today.

Finding Alternatives To Bailout Proposal
President Bush, the Treasury secretary and the Federal Reserve chairman have all suggested we have no choice: One way or another, they've said, the economy is in danger without a $700 billion bailout of the financial services industry. But the original bailout plan is changing in Congress, and outside economists have suggested different approaches.
Simon Johnson, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, had a note of disbelief in his voice as he described the proposal made by the Bush administration Friday.
"Seven hundred billion dollars of taxpayer money has been put on the table at the express request of a Republican administration to bail out banks, bank managers, bank shareholders, bank creditors," Johnson said.
He doesn't think the administration's idea of taking distressed mortgage securities off the hands of financial institutions is the right approach. He says it's a backdoor way of injecting money into the firms, boosting their capital and making them more willing to lend again.
Johnson and a number of other prominent economists suggest a Warren Buffet approach instead: Buy shares in the company.
"You don't want to do this in a halfhearted, backdoor way," he said. "You gotta be transparent, come all out, go for preferred shares for the government in return for new capital. Wall Street is not going to like it, but that's tough. We're way beyond only doing things that Wall Street likes."
'If It's A Dog, It's Your Problem'
Johnson thinks there's another approach that would be superior to the Treasury's plan — giving government loans to the struggling financial firms and taking their distressed mortgage securities as collateral.
"Think of it like this: If you need some cash, and you have a secondhand car that's in pretty dubious condition, if I buy the car from you and the car turns out to be a complete dog, that's my problem," he explained. "But if I lend you money against the collateral of that car, ultimately you're going to pay back the loan, and it's your car so if it's a dog it's your problem."
So, by not buying the distressed securities that are the equivalent of the used car, taxpayers aren't holding the bag if the securities turn out to be dogs. But the financial firms do get the money they need in the form of a loan to help them get on their feet again.
The Japanese Model
On Wednesday, as he answered questions before the House Financial Services Committee, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson critiqued some of the alternatives to his approach. He said it's a bad idea to inject capital into banks without removing their troubled assets, calling it "the Japanese solution."
During its financial crisis in the 1990s, Japan propped up its failing banks instead of forcing them to get rid of bad assets, and the country stagnated for a decade.
"They were in a very long recession for many years. You know, you put capital in the banks, and the government is essentially in many ways running them," Paulson said.
There are many other alternatives to Paulson's plan — among them, forcing banks to stop paying out dividends in order to build up their capital, or suspending capital-gains taxes to make financial institutions more profitable, an idea being pushed by Republican lawmakers.
Open To Alternatives
Democrats are supporting other measures, including providing funds to help homeowners facing foreclosure. After all, it's foreclosures that are making those mortgage-backed securities toxic.
Many of the alternatives have made their way into draft legislation, and some will probably make it into the final bill. The administration has softened its all-or-nothing approach. In Wednesday's hearing, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke seemed open to using some of the alternatives to attack the problem.
"It's the intention of the secretary, certainly I would advise him to be flexible and respond to conditions as they change, and if this process is not working effectively, there are other ways to use this money that will, again, purchase assets or purchase capital and support the banking system," Bernanke said.
Negotiations over the final shape of the rescue plan continue Thursday.

By Ben Hayward | Spain Expert
Forget the Group of Death, Spain's sector at Euro 2012 has been dubbed by some as the Group of Debt. The Iberians, Italy and Ireland have all been hit hard by the global financial crisis, while Croatia's foreign deficit has spiralled in recent times. Only Greece are missing from debt-ridden Group C.
The Greeks upset the odds at Euro 2004 with a shock success which brought an overwhelming outpouring of joy to the nation. Something similar happened with Spain in Austria and Switzerland four years later, following four decades of disappointment at international level, and there was more merriment as La Furia Roja claimed the World Cup in South Africa two years ago.
Spain's current crisis
|The budget deficit, in percentage terms. The European Commission want that number reduced by 5 per cent.
|The percentage of unemployed in Spain; the highest in Europe
|Over half of the country's under-25s are currently without work
|The percentage fall of the Spanish stock market since its peak in 2007
|An unprecedented €97 billion of investor money fleed the country in the first three months of the year
|The number of days the crisis has lasted so far. And it is showing little signs of ending any time soon
Caution ensued. And the message from Spain coach del Bosque was clear: the country's crisis cannot be solved by their football team. "Winning the Euros won't solve Spain's problems," the Salmantine shrugged.
But it may help return something of a feelgood factor to a nation very much down in the dumps amid news of constant budget cuts, bank bailouts and unprecedented unemployment.
"We're in the midst of a serious crisis and, in one sense, football is a good thing for it,'' Xavi added. "If the national team is playing well then that can also have an effect on people's character. Let's see if we can provide some joy for the people.''
Football's force cannot be underestimated. Sport brings joy to the people and has served to lift morale in many a country before - even if only temporarily. Brazil's 1970 World Cup win and Argentine's 1978 success helped their respective populations through the atrocities of military dictatorships, while Chile's impressive run in 2010 raised spirits after the devastating earthquake earlier that year.
Spain's modern-day side may not have ever expected to see things so bad, but their 1964 triumph had come in the depressing days of the Franco era, and represented a big boost for the Spanish people - much like Real Madrid's stunning successes on the continent in the same decade.
Almost one in four Spaniards are currently without work, while many struggle to survive on the bare minimum. The current unemployment rate of 24.3 per cent is the highest in Europe and those in work are not necessarily much better off. Times are hard, so while Euro 2012 may not solve the country's crisis, it may just lift the mood. And any sort of joy is welcome in Spain right now.

Working Papers from Georgetown University, Department of Economics
This article summarizes exchange-rate research using microstructure models. It first lays out the key features of the foreign exchange market and describes how they are incorporated into a canonical model of currency trading. The empirical implications of the model are then examined. The article also discusses how currency trading links spot rate dynamics to macroeconomic conditions, and how this link sheds light on some long standing puzzles concerning the behavior of exchange rates.

I am not a new giffgaff user. This problem started yesterday afternoon (14:32) after I received settings for giffgaff WAP and giffgaff MMS. Now I cant' make or receive calls or test. I have taken the battery and sim out a few times. I have excellent reception and giffgaff is displayed on phone. I'm not using a smartphone. Thanks for the assistance in advance.
Thank you all for all your advice. But I think the reason may be something silly. When I type in
goodybag balance
I get "not active"
Which got me thinking I may have accidentally mixed up my sim with the new one I gave my brother yesterday when I was at his. Until I can get him on the phone to confirm if that is the case, I cant know for sure. I remember he was looking for his sim soon after he broke it of from its holder. I was swapping sims around that time and somewhat fatigued, so could have been that scenario.
Will keep you all updated and let you know what happened. And will give Kudos or best solution, whichever may be the appropriate case. Thank you all.
Thanks all for your help. I can confirm that I made a mistake and mixed up my sim with an unregistered one. My Bad. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time.

Here's a tale of a packet, a packet of fame,
She sails from New York and the Dreadnought's her name.
'Cross the wild western ocean she's bound for to go;
She's the Liverpool packet, oh Lord, let her go!
Derry down, down, down derry down
Oh, the Dreadnought is lying in the river Mercey,
Waiting for the Independence to tow her to sea.
All around that rock light where the salt tides do flow,
Bound away in the Dreadnought to the westward we'll go. (Chorus)
Now the Dreadnought's a-howling down the wild Irish Sea,
Her passengers merry, and the drink is so free;
The sailors, like lions, walk the decks to and fro.
Bound away in the Dreadnought to the westward we'll go. (Chorus)
The Dreadnought's a-sailing the Atlantic so wide,
Where the high, rolling seas roll along her black sides.
The sails tightly set for the Red Cross to show,
She's the Liverpool Packet, oh Lord, let her go! (Chorus)
Now the Dreadnought is sailing by the banks of Newfoundland,
Where the water's so green and the bottom is sand;
The fishes all sing as they swim to and fro,
Saying: "God bless the Dreadnaught where 'ere she may go!" (Chorus)
Here's health to the Dreadnought and all her brave crew;
To old Captain Samuels and his officers true.
Talk about your flash packets, Swallowtail and Black Ball,
But the Dreadnought's the ship that can out-sail them all. (Chorus)

2. To investigate how the microbial community structure changes with age of sheep
3. To determine whether microbial colonisation of the udder is inevitable, always detrimental or potentially beneficial if pathogen strain load is limited
4. To determine whether the sequence of colonisation of bacteria influences the health of the mammary gland and sheep
2. To develop and optimise a bacterial DNA extraction method from sheep milk for the investigation of the microbial community of sheep udders
3. To use molecular-based whole community approaches including Q-PCR, genetic fingerprinting techniques such as DGGE and DNA sequencing techniques such as pyrosequencing to analyse the whole bacterial community in sheep milk
1. With increasing number of lactations, the number, species and strains of bacteria colonising the udder increase
2. Pathogen load and presence of specific virulence markers in sheep with either clinical or sub-clinical mastitis is related to sheep age (number of lactations)
3. The bacterial load of pathogens and the ratio of pathogenic to benign strains of microbes affect weight gain in lambs
