hi all,
i've been debating how to release synchstep because apple has made it illegal for developers to sell jailbreak apps. again, they keep crampin my style.
so, here's where i've netted out:
i'm going to release synchstep this week, fully-featured, for free. that's right, free. you just enter your email so i can generate a serial for you and you get synchstep pro for no money down. NO MONEY DOWN!
now you're thinking, "but how will you feed yourself, greg?" how considerate of you.
i'm working on making synchstep work LEGALLY on OS 3.0, and i'm planning to sell it in the app store (if apple accepts it) once OS 3.0 is out.
look for the public launch sometime this week.
ok, long silence, i know. but i have exciting news!
we're into the last beta version, #14. i'll be releasing it to my private testers this weekend. i have kept the group at about 100 beta testers, and i've gotten some really great feedback from them.
here's what needs to happen before the official launch:
1. analytics - synchstep is the first jailbreak app to use pinch media's analytics, and theyre updating the library to support such an app.
2. new website
about the free version vs pro version:
the free version of synchstep will be ad-supported, work with walking only and automatically download tempos for any songs that are on the synchstep server. any songs not found, won't be analyzed by my server.
the pro version ($5) will have no ads, support walking and running (running via armband), allow you to pick whatever tempo you want whenever you want, allow you to adjust how and when synchstep adjusts to your pace, and any songs of yours that i don't have tempos for will be automatically analyzed by my server and magically downloaded to your device once the song has been analyzed.
look for the public launch sometime this march! 'bout friggin time, right?! =)
several more betas have gone out, and no issues reported yet. everyone seems quite pleased with the overall setup and step detection for running and walking.
this is a very controlled release. if you want a beta and i haven't gotten to you yet, feel free to ping me.
ok, i've got my php scripts and database moved onto a mosso cloud (thanks aaron!), and as a result the setup process is about 66% faster than it was previously.
the initial setup can process songs 600 per minute, so you're looking at around a few minutes from starting the app the first time to using it. obviously, the more songs you have the longer the setup will take. compare that to the several hours of waiting it took to use synchstep previously, and i think we can all agree this is a huge improvement.
oh, first beta is going out today.
great progress today. initial setup from a blank state takes about 4 minutes for 500 songs, and that's with the server running on my (relatively) slow laptop.
here's how the bpm database works: synchstep reads your ipod tracks, downloads tempos for anything found at synchstep.com, and submits anything it can't find to a queue. tracks queued up are analyzed and in a day or so the database is updated. this wont get every song ever (especially really esoteric tracks), but right now i'm getting about 65% of requests coming in.
here's what you can expect at a user experience level:
first time you use synchstep, you tap "setup." synchstep reads your ipod library and downloads tempo data. then you tap "start" and away you go.
this whole initial setup process takes about 4 minutes for 500 songs, but once the initial setup is complete, additional updates take under 15 seconds. i'm currently serving the database off my laptop, so expect it to take about half that time coming from a properly configured server.
next piece of good news: checking to see if any new tempo data has been added for your songs takes .25 seconds. that means it can be done on launch without you even asking it to happen. it'll go like this: open synchstep, it says "24 of your songs have new tempo data. would you like to update synchstep?"
downloading tempo data for your tracks takes about 3 seconds. yes, it'll be fast.
this is all working right now. i'm looking into database hosting solutions so i can really measure how fast the finalized setup and updating processes will be.
very exciting.
ok everyone, it's been a while since i updated, but i've been ridiculously busy coding and haven't had a chance to breathe.
here's where things are:
first. i'm getting rid of synchstep prep. no longer will you have to download a separate application to analyze your songs. i'm setting up a system that will allow your iphone to download tempo data directly without you guys doing any of that annoying analysis stuff.
this is HUGE. this is how i always wanted synchstep to be, but let's face it, there's just no foundation in place for this kind of an app. i'm having to build it myself brick by brick.
second. the step detection is almost there. armband is basically done. pocket is done. belt-mounted is close. i'm not a fan of belt-clip cases though. i just don't feel safe with my very expensive phone dangling from my shorts while sprinting. call me crazy.
most of the interface bugs are out. you can purchase the app directly through synchstep and download tempo data directly through the app.
i'd like to get a beta out soon to those that have expressed interest. unfortunately, because i don't get paid for this work and only get to work on this in the wee hours of the morning, it takes more time to get through milestones.
i may take down the current version of synchstep as it's actually quite embarrassing given the improvements in the latest versions.
thanks to everyone who's emailed me and supported me. i'm really working hard to make this next release everything it should have been from the start.
i've got a new business model in place for synchstep. there will be two versions of synchstep: free and pro. free will act just as it does now: walking only, basic settings. it'll have the new and improved walking algorithm so it's going to be as awesome at that as the pro version, and everyone that has enjoyed synchstep so far will continue to enjoy that version for free. if synchstep has done everything you wanted it to do, your world won't change.
if, however, you're like me, and want more control and power from synchstep, the pro version is for you.
synchstep pro will be a measly $5, a lot less than you pay for a crappy drink at a crappy bar, and will unlock a lot of cool stuff. in general, you might consider the pro version good for those that use synchstep everyday or at the gym. the pro version currently includes:
the day is getting closer boys and girls. i have to say this new version of synchstep pretty completely owns all previous versions. i'm actually embarased when i test the previous incarnations.
it's by no means perfect, but it's getting really close. i'm at the point where i have to try really hard to get it to not detect my pace. it's work in my baggiest pants, any pocket, in my hand, on my arm, on my waist, and tucked into my pants. it's really tough to fool the step detection algorithm now.
additionally, the auto-switching algorithm is vastly improved. i have two settings that give you greater control over how quickly and when synchstep changes songs. you'll be able to set how many bpm difference counts as a new pace (e.g. for fast changes, set it so that if you walk +- 3 bpm different from the song, synchstep should start detecting your new pace, or for slower, set it to +-10). you can also set how rapidly synchstep adapts to you. you can set it so it adapts slowly to your new pace, which gives you lots of room to be off-beat without worrying about it switching songs, or set it quickly adjust and it will jump to your new tempo in under 5 seconds.
it's working very well with running right now, although when you start to get up around 180-200 bpm, it takes twice as long to detect a pace, so i need to look at that (running that fast, there might be a lot of noise on the signal). i did however, lose my belt clip attachment so i haven't been able to test the belt clip version under really strenuous conditions yet but it does work well tucked into my pants waistband while running.
auto-dimming is working really well, all bugs out of that one, although i'm going to require a swipe in any direction to get the screen to turn back on. right now, it only requires a tap, and sometimes thin pockets will actually allow your leg to turn the screen back on.
stay tuned, this new one should be out (hopefully) before the end of september.
rejigging auto-sync algorithm so that it's adjustable (in settings you'll be able to set how quickly synchstep should adapt to you: quickly, normal, slowly).
also, looking into making synchstep prep better:
- instead of exporting to wav using decoders to read into memory for analysis
- computing audio fingerprint and associating analyzed bpm with fingerprint
- uploading bpm to database so that synchstep prep can simply look up the bpm for most tracks, and only compute bpm if it has to.
Belt and armband work great! Wanna test more but wow. Super cool.
Pressing resync while running at 170 bpm is haaaard.
Starting synchstep while running is awkward

Hot List
5 Signs He Would Rather Date Your Brother
It's easy to see why the ladies love Anderson Cooper. He is genuinely nice and has a great sense of humor, not to mention awesome listening skills. So I am not surprised that, while openly gay now, he had his share of female admirers before he came out. "The few times when I would go on a date with a girl -- like when I was 12 -- there was a lot of sharing and a lot of talking, and a lot of asking how I am," he said on his daytime talk show. "They thought we were dating ... and I was sort of hoping to meet their brothers."
That scenario isn't so uncommon. I have a college friend that dated a guy who came out a few years after they split. While we were all dropped-jawed, she wasn't shocked at all. She didn't want to admit it to herself at the time, but the writing was always on the wall. Here, she says, are the 5 signs he would rather date your brother.
- He is more complimentary to your brother than he is to you. That is not to say he is always gushing about the guy. But if he is overly interested in your bro's personal life, style, and physique while totally overlooking the fact you just chopped off eight inches of hair, she warns you are probably not the sibling he's most into.
- He ogles and talks about cute guys as much as you do. You may think it's great that he is so secure in his masculinity that he can say when another man is attractive -- but it's a rare straight man that will admit to how hot George Clooney is.
- He admitted to having sex with a man once before. Of course you can just attribute this to a brief, experimental phase, but there's a chance he might not be ready to admit the truth.
- He doesn't mind gay porn. Watching a racy video with your man can be a big turn-on, but most straight guys won't tolerate guy-on-guy action.
- He's game for a threesome -- with another guy. Again, that would be a no-go for the majority of heterosexual guys. She says consider the fact he may be gay, bi, or perhaps testing the waters to figure out which.
Of course these rules are not absolute. I am sure there are plenty of straight guys who are open-minded enough to do everything on this list. But if you've ever wondered if your man was gay, don't ignore your inner voice. You just might be right.
Have you ever dated someone you knew was gay?

Agree with all but the last one. My fiance is very hetero but he told me he had a threesome once with a girl and his friend. He said never touched the friend and apparently they each had sex with her separately before the threesome and she gave my fiance a BJ while his friend had sex with her. I don't know a lot about threesomes as I've never had one and don't want to but if I did I would think it would be the same kind of thing for me, I'd have no interest in touching the other woman so I guess that kind of eliminates the need for a threesome. I think my guy and his friend must have been really horny and said "why not" as long as they didn't have to do anything together.

Zip Line Kauai Guide - A synopsis of Kauai Zipline Tours
Kauai Zip Line Adventures
Before you get too far along in your planning for your Kauai vacation you should pay some special attention to this Zip Line Kauai Guide. Interest in zip lining in Kauai has zoomed in popularity over the short span of this century. The number Kauai Zip Line tour courses has increased to a total of four and the number of courses all toll in Hawaii has increased to almost twenty. The zipline tours have swelled to the point that they can customize to a person's special interest or needs. Certainly on Kauai you now have a geological advantage in attending a zipline in the sense that it is likely that one is located near to where you are staying. Secondly, zip line tours have gradations in terms of their degree of excitement. Kauai zip line tours also have slight gradations in terms of their perceived difficulty. In reality however, ziplines are not really difficult at all and almost anyone can choose to do one, but the excitement or thrill factor can go "off the charts" with some ziplines where other zipline courses are more suited for the "faint at heart". In a phrase then, there is a perfect Kauai zip line tour just waiting for you to experience. You may tend toward a canopy zipline course that flies through the tree-tops or prefer the swift moving and heart pumping grand gorge overflies that will ratchet your adrenalin output for hours to follow. Still yet you may enjoy the excitement and challenge of the close cousin to zipline courses known as "ropes courses" where you traverse difficult rope bridges, rope ladders and perform such feats as the "leap of faith" where you leap from a height of perhaps eighty feet only to be caught by the harness and pulley system before touching the ground. If you enjoy a bit of competition on your zipline adventure perhaps you'd like to speed off on a double zipline with a friend to see who can get to the end of the course first. How about a zipline off the face of a cliff then taking a free-fall into a delicious mountain pool? Your zip line tour options are seemingly endless on Kauai and this is a fun and exciting pursuit for the whole family.
It's no surprise that Kauai was among the first locations in the Hawaiian Islands to build zip line courses almost overnight and create a virtual zip line industry on the island. Kauai is a natural for zip lines as its natural topography is one of dramatic canyons, long valleys, scenic ridges, beautiful tall forests, and beautiful views to be seen in every direction. To be a good zip line course you simply need to have a number of these ingredients and Kauai has everything necessary to rival the best zip line courses to be found around the world. On Kauai you have your choice of zip line course and your choice of zip line locations and if the quality of zip line course is judged in any way by their popularity then it is clear the Kauai's zip line courses provide the highest quality experience.
For the uninitiated, let's define what a Zip line tour actually is.
Simply put, "a Zipline is an aerial runway consisting of a pulley suspended on a cable that is mounted on an incline. Ziplines are designed to allow a seated and harnessed passenger to traverse valleys, gorges or drop-offs along an inclined cable by being attached to a freely moving pulley while using gravity as a motor".
Now that you know the zipline basics, let's see how they apply to the various applications of ziplines used on the island of Kauai.
What are the types of Kauai Zip line tour courses?
Primarily ziplines can be classified by the specific terrain they traverse over and what the general topography of the zipline course is. On Kauai the majority of courses sail their zipline clients on harnesses suspended over valleys and gorges. In essence you travel on a zipline from one side of a gorge to the other side. The distance of these ziplines over valleys will vary considerably between zipline companies and also between ziplines on the same course. In addition, one of the Kauai zipline courses zips, not over valleys, but between tall trees high up in the forest from platforms like miniature tree houses.
What are the heights of the various Kauai Ziplines?
Here again the heights above the ground of the various lines varies greatly between zipline courses and once again between the ziplines on the same course. It could generally be said that the height above many of the valley floors and streams running through them would range between 250' to the lowest beginning ziplines or "training zips" of about 25' in height. With regard to the ziplines located in the trees in the forests the zipline platforms average about 80' up in the air.
How fast are the Kauai Ziplines?
The average zipline speed will depend on the length and steepness of the zipline, the individual weight of the participant and also upon the cross winds that may be happening at the time of your crossing. Most of the longer ziplines will have you averaging speeds of between 25 to 35 miles per hour. Another factor which determines zipline speed has to do with how you hold your body during your zip. If you become aerodynamic and streamlined pointing your feet forward and leaning yourself slightly backwards during your zipline you will go faster. If you present yourself with wide body surfaces facing forward you will slow up.
How long are the Kauai Zip lines?
The ziplines vary greatly in length depending upon the valley to be traversed but the longest among them are about 1800' in length.
How many Zip lines run on a single course?
Once again this varies with the Kauai zipline courses but 7 or 8 is a good average. Some of the zipline courses even offer "double ziplines" or "side-by-side" ziplines that can be traveled by two persons at the same time. These ziplines are fun to go on with a friend as you race to the end of the zipline.
How easy are Kauai Ziplines to use?
This is probably the most often asked concern of clients wanting to participate on a zipline. The simple answer is that it is very easy. There are relatively few things that you need to remember but you do need to listen at all times to the directions of the zipline guides. Landings require some degree of coordination but keep in mind that in most instances there will be a guide helping you in as you come to a stop. I have personally seen people in their eighties on these flights participating without the slightest bit of trouble. This of course is a personal call for everyone. If you don't think you will feel comfortable riding a zipline or if you think the heights will "freak you out" just don't sign up. Everyone has their own limitations and you know what yours are.
Popularity of Kauai Ziplines
Wow. This is amazing! We have gone from a position of having no zip line courses on Kauai to having a number of different courses in a matter of a short number of years. During that time we of course started with zero popularity and quickly grew to a point where it is often very difficult to arrange zipline tours for willing participants on any of the courses at a given time. Some of the zip line tours are booked up for days at certain times of the year. So the lesson is---if you know you want to do a zipline while visiting Kauai, please book it early.
Tom's Tips - Kauai Zip line Tours
- A good "primal scream" on a zipline makes it all the more fun!
- Enjoy yourself at all times but make sure to listen, pay attention and follow the directions of the guides at all times.
- Many of the ziplines offer a dip in a refreshing mountain pool at some time during the zipline adventure. Go ahead, take the plunge. That's part of what it's all about to be on Kauai.
Just Live
Just Live Zip-line is a bit different as zip-line companies go. Instead of traversing valleys or gorges the majority of the zip-line course is located in the tree-tops of a beautiful pine forest. Once you first zip from a hillside to your first landing deck with Just Live Zip-line, you'll be in the forest and up in the treetops for a good long while. This is a remarkable experience. You're about seventy feet in the air above the forest floor at all times and you are always secured to a cable with your safety clips. In addition to the "zip runs" you will also be negotiating rope bridges in various forms and you are always curious to see what the course has in store for you next. The crew is very, very attentive to each and every participant and by the time you finish you feel "bonded" with everyone in your small group. In addition to the regular zip-line experience they also have a separate eco-challenge "ropes course" which is one of very few in the state. These are courses that are designed to build confidence in your individual abilities and in some cases bring you to the brink of what you think your limitations are. This tree-top adventure will include rappelling, rock wall climbing, a giant "monster swing" and an unforgettable "leap of faith". You'll probably come out of the forest a different person than when you went in. All activities on this tour are optional but you are encouraged to try them all. This is an adventure like no other.

Kauai Backcountry Zipline
If you like long zip-line experiences over valleys, ravines and gullies Kauai Backcountry Zip-line is probably just perfect for you. Located at the foot of the mountain that is the wettest spot on earth the Kauai Backcountry Zip-line course traverses back and forth through various valleys that ultimately lead you to a refreshing mountain pool dip. This zip-line course is located on a huge 17,000 acre tract of private property that is not available to the general public. You'll initially be transported to this beautiful location via 4-wheel drive vehicles and the views and vistas you will experience on this activity are breathtaking.

(From: $119.99 - To: $119.99)
Koloa Zipline
Koloa Zipline features Kauai's longest course and the longest line (2500 feet). They have 8 unique lines at approximately 1.5 miles long. They are also the only zipline on Kauai that offers Tandem Ziplining for light-weight guests ideal for 7 to 9 year olds to go with an older sibling, parent, guardian or guide with a weight limit of 235lbs combined.

Price Range:
(From: $121.90 - To: $159.00)
Outfitters Kauai
Outfitters Kauai is fond of providing you with multiple activities during the same tour experience and hiking is an activity they combine with zip lining, kayaking, a motorized farm-wagon, swimming and rope swinging. Dreaming up magical tours is not a creative faculty that has gone dormant in the minds of the Outfitters Kauai staff. This day you will experience with them is certainly one that you will remember for some time to come. You will begin with a two mile paddle up the Huleia River on the Kipu Ranch which is so beautiful that it has been the filming location for some of Hollywood's famous blockbuster movies. Next you'll find yourself hiking along the river to a spot with an overhanging rope swing which will allow you to swing out over the river for an exciting jump. Another hike will lead you up some meadows and through the forest to an awaiting motorized farm wagon which will take you to your zipline launch location. A further hike up a ridge and you are at the site of one of the most beautiful forest pools and waterfalls you could ever imagine. This time an even larger rope swing will await you and after your plunge you will be hiking again back to the river, this time to board a motorized canoe back down river to your original starting point.

Price Range:
(From: $108.90 - To: $175.90)
Princeville Ranch Adventures
The Princeville Ranch Adventures offers one of the premier zip-line adventures on the island of Kauai. First off, the setting for this zipline is in an area known as the region of Hanalei and the views from every section of the zipline course are beautiful beyond words. Ocean views are seen from every vantage point and the green and verdant rolling pastureland with intersecting valleys and streams backs up to the breathtaking Hanalei Mountains. The zipline course itself at the Princeville Ranch Adventures is a series of nine separate picturesque ziplines and a suspension bridge which spans over a waterfall. Each line has its own personality but the last line, called the King Kong line, has the largest personality of them all. From a twenty-six foot platform two separate side-by-side zip lines (designed for two people to launch at the same time as they race each other across the course) descend at blistering speeds twelve-hundred feet across the valley. A hidden swimming hole and waterfall are also a part of your day's zipline outing where you'll enjoy swimming, jumping, diving and floating on inner-tubes.

Kauai Zipline Tours - 10 years ago we had no idea what a "zip-line" was in Hawaii. Today it is an important activity on each of the major Hawaiian Islands. Seldom has an activity taken such a foothold in the landscape of Hawaiian activities as has the zip-line. Part adventure, part adrenaline, part hike and always scenic, the zip-line experience has captivated the imagination of the island visitors and made it into a tour that is quite often impossible to book within a week or two of the event. So here's my advice. It's highly likely that you or one of those in your party will want to participate in a Hawaii zip-line adventure. Just make sure you book early so you won't be disappointed.

Home made green tea ice cream and Korean rice cakes (injeolmi). I've always known that rice cakes and icecream can be friends. Yummy friends. Haha :P
Green tea icecream
Makes about 800ml
250ml cream
240ml milk
2/3 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
2 tsp matcha (green tea powder)
Prepare ice-cream maker. (ie. Freeze the cannister 24hrs in advance).
In a saucepan on low heat, heat cream, milk and sugar until combined. Do not let it boil.
Cool the mixture for about 15mins.
Whisk into egg yolks and matcha.
Set aside and allow to cool completely before refrigerating until chilled.
Then follow ice cream maker instructions to create your ice cream!
Either serve immediately or place in airtight container and freeze until needed.
Ingeolmi (Korean rice cakes)
Makes.. a lot? Say, about 60?
500gm glutinous rice flour
1 3/4 cup water
1/3 cup soybean powder (plus extra if needed)
3 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup black sesame powder (plus extra if needed)
3 tbsp sugar
Boil a large pot of water.
Mix glutinous rice flour and water until a dough is formed. It should not be too wet nor too dry. So it shouldn't be sticky or crumbly to handle.
When the water is boiled, drop little balls of dough (~1.5cm in diameter) into the pot. They will rise to the top when cooked. Allow them to float at the top for a while before removing them into a bowl of cold water.
In a different dry bowl, mix soybean powder and sugar.
Drain your rice cakes and roll into soybean powder while still warm.
Set aside.
Repeat remaining rice cakes with black sesame powder if you wish.
Serve as is, or with ice cream!
I find that the soybean rice cakes taste good by themselves as the Koreans like to do. The black sesame one isn't traditionally Korean. I just wanted to try it, and the fact is, it wasn't that great by itself. Add some vanilla icecream and it'll taste much much better! Next time, I'll just stick to the traditional soybean ones! :P

As much as the idea of contractually negotiated sex rankled me (and mind you, this is not about the sort of contracts that some BDSM practitioners employ; it's along the lines of "per this contract we will have penis-in-vagina sex two times a week for the next six weeks"), it dislodged a memory related to sex that's likely to be equally off-putting to some: the ultimatum.
Somewhere around three years ago D gave me an ultimatum which basically said that within the next X period (maybe it was 6 months, maybe a year) I needed to find a way to get our sex life back on track. Or else. Or else what? Nothing really followed the "or else." After years of trying to negotiate, trying to get me to initiate, trying and trying and trying, he finally gave up and implied he wasn't going to try anymore. I got the message. Or at least, I got a message: that something unpleasant would happen if I didn't get my act together and stop treating him like a roommate rather than a lover. I never asked him to elaborate on "or else." I didn't want to. I didn't need to.
My turnaround wasn't immediate. It took a good six months or so before I mentally adjusted to the idea that prolonging the sexlessness in our marriage wasn't going to cut it. Nothing really changed in the way he related to me, but it didn't have to. The seed had been planted and the "or else" frequently tickled at the back of my mind.
The ultimatum scared me. It came at a time of tremendous transition for us, and at times I was deeply worried that if I couldn't find my sexual self I might lose him. The honest fact is that I probably wouldn't have lost him, but the thousand small unhappinesses would continue to grow and morph into something much larger that we'd never wrest control of.
How did we get to the point where an ultimatum was required? That's something I will explore another time. But we did get there, and somehow the gentle delivery of that demand changed something for me. He'd already told me in myriad ways that he wanted and needed my attention. I had listened, but I never really heard his deep, quiet need until he put it in such terms that all other sound was sucked into a vacuum and only those words rang in my ears.
I'm not sure what the conventional wisdom is on sex contracts, but the conventional wisdom on ultimatums in relationships is that they tend not to work, or at least not in the way we probably want them to. Furthermore, they should only be used when the ultimatum-giver is quite ready to lose the relationship if the demand isn't met. When I asked D not too long ago what would have happened if I hadn't changed my attitude toward sex, toward him, he confessed that he didn't have a plan. All he wanted was to get our sex life back, to be physically connected to the woman he's loved for so long, who he finds beautiful, and for whom he's lusted all these years.
Truth? Had he said that last sentence to me three years ago, I would have listened but not heard him. And nothing would have changed. Perhaps it took a tremendous act to jar me from the rut I'd traveled in for so long.

May 2011: Cousins Properties approach Jennifer and Ben Johnson, owners of West Egg Cafe, to discuss opening a second West Egg location at the Emory Point development on Clifton Road. The Johnsons consider a delicatessen as an alternate concept.
June 2, 2011: The Johnsons stumble upon an interview with chef Todd Ginsberg in which he confesses to having the dream of opening a delicatessen.
June 15, 2011: The Johnsons text Ginsberg to set up a meeting.
That's how The General Muir, a partnership between Ginsberg, the Johnsons and Shelley Sweet (General Manager at West Egg) got its start.
The General Muir, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, will be more than just a traditional deli. According to co-owner Ben Johnson, "We don't want people to think too literally about it, expecting us to recreate Katz's. There will be classic dishes on the menu, but we are not pigeonholing ourselves as just a deli. Todd is an amazing and creative chef and will have wide latitude to take things in new directions. Fans of Todd's food will not be disappointed."
Ginsberg's desire to open a delicatessen is rooted in his childhood memories of eating at a deli once or twice each week. At The General Muir, he'll have the best of both worlds. He'll pay homage to his upbringing with items like pastrami cured and smoked in house, corned beef, smoked fish and hand-rolled kettle-boiled bagels.
Ginsberg will also have the opportunity to make use of his training from The Culinary Institute of America and time in the kitchens of Alain Ducasse, The Dining Room at The Ritz-Carlton, Asher and most recently Bocado. The dinner hour will bring his take on dishes that originated in delis.
Although Ginsberg said the menu is still in the development phase, dinner may include a chicken soup-inspired three-course meal. The first course may include star-anise-infused chicken broth with kreplach (dumplings) and move into the second course with a salad of crispy chicken thigh and shredded Brussels sprouts. The last course could bring poached chicken breast with a foie-gras Matzo ball and carrots in Madeira-truffle sauce.
Ginsberg also revealed that pastry chef Lauren Raymond will join the team to lead the pastry department. Raymond was the opening chef for Miller Union, where she crafted its famous ice cream sandwiches. She has also worked under Cynthia Wong at Empire State South and as a bread baker for Bacchanalia.
The General Muir will offer both a full-service dining room and a separate counter-service area serving bagels, sandwiches, salads, baked goods and Batdorf & Bronson coffee.
According to Jennifer Johnson, the restaurant's space, designed by Square Feet Studio, will combine industrial references with richer materials. Subway tile, dark paneling, butcher block accents and cast-iron fixtures with brass shades will give the large space a brasserie feel.
Ginsberg says that the decor will also tell a story with photos of owners' families and one of the U.S. refugee transport ship The General Muir. The ship brought Jennifer Johnson's mother and grandparents, Holocaust survivors, to New York following World War II. The photo shows her six-year-old mom leaning over the ship's bow as it entered the New York harbor, a photo that appeared in The New York Daily News in 1949.
The General Muir is slated to open late December.

Not to knock the concept…but the whole idea of Emory Point is live/work. A high-end, sit down type deli fusion restaurant is not really what we were looking for here. I know they will have a takeout counter, but they should go with a traditional deli concept built for high volume during lunch (the CDC and Emory U. are right across the street. I don't think it will really be a dinner/drinks destination. "Smart" planning for developments should go beyond the green facade of the building materials.

9:50 am
H. West: why start your comment by saying you don't want to knock the concept and then proceed to do exactly as much? Stand by your opinion. In my opinion, the combination of fast-casual and a sit-down area suits the development ideally.
October 25th, 2012
1:41 pm
Ummm…let me get this straight. H West says EP is a "live/work" community. Therefore, he wants…a deli that caters entirely to the WORK crowd? If you LIVE in EP, don't ya figure they'd need breakfast and dinner too?
EP already has a surfeit of "upscale fast food." BurgerFi for, yup, burgers. Tin Lizzy's for standard issue Mexican. Bonefish Grill for corporate style generic seafood. Which Wich for "more than 50″ sandwiches–kind of what you were asking for? Marlow's Tavern. And, Fresh to Order. Not one of these represents an alternative to what they propose to do with The General Muir. Lying between the affluent neighborhood of Druid Hills and foodie-paradise Decatur, and with the substantial demand for higher end dining driven by the needs of Emory, CDC, and ACS, they should be ideally situated to build a clientele, if the execution is solid. A traditional deli for high volume lunches? Sheesh.

I like the concept and look forward to trying it.

College Park, MD (Sports Network) - Justus Pickett had only 21 yards rushing but his one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference as the Maryland Terrapins took down the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 19-14 in an Atlantic Coast Conference clash at Byrd Stadium.
Perry Hills completed 14-of-25 passes for 191 yards and a touchdown while also being intercepted once for Maryland (3-2, 1-0 ACC). Stefon Diggs caught five of those passes for 105 yards. The Terps struggled all game on the ground with Wes Brown's 23 yards a team-high.
Tanner Price completed only 13 of his 38 pass attempts in the loss for Wake Forest (3-3, 1-3) which has lost three of its last four. Price finished with 170 yards and two touchdowns. Terence Davis caught seven passes for 130 yards and a score and Josh Harris rushed for 73 yards on 18 carries.
On just the third play from scrimmage Price connected with Davis for a 73-yard touchdown pass as the Demon Deacons jumped out to a 7-0 lead.
A pair of Brad Craddock field goals, one from 49 yards out and the other from 52, helped the Terps cut into that advantage.
Just over two minutes before halftime Maryland would take the lead when Hills completed a 33-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Dorsey.
The Demon Deacons reclaimed the lead with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter when Price tossed a seven-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Bohanon.
Pickett put the Terps back on top with just over five minutes left in regulation on a one-yard touchdown run. Craddock missed the extra point attempt making the score 19-14. It turned out to be the winning score as Wake Forest failed to get anything going on its final three possessions.
It was not a game for offense with neither Maryland (244 yards) or Wake Forest (241) reaching the 250-yard mark in total offense. The Terps averaged only 1.2 per carry in the win.

amg review
The Fabulous Charlie Rich follows the same formula as its predecessor, Set Me Free, but to more successful results. For starters, the record has a more consistent set of material -- these are songs that Rich can really sink his teeth into, as evidenced by the beautiful, melancholy "Life's Little Ups and Downs" (written by his wife, Margaret Ann) and his own "Sittin' and Thinkin'." Furthermore, the core of each song -- from the bluesy "July 12, 1939" and "Bright Lights, Big City" (which is done essentially as a Jimmy Reed medley, performed in the style of Ray Charles) to the soulful "I Almost Lost My Mind" and the country-pop stylings of "San Francisco Is a Lonely Town" and "Love Waits for Me" -- is more apparent, thanks to Billy Sherrill's relatively trimmed-down production. There are still strings, vocal choruses, and horns throughout the album, but Sherrill has incorporated them into Rich's style more effectively. Occasionally, there is a fairly uninspired number, but The Fabulous Charlie Rich does capture the eclectic nature of Rich's music better than the great majority of his albums, even if the sumptuous production will make it less palatable for country purists. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

That is how I first started modeling. In 2005, a random guy in a bar approached me and asked if I wanted to participate in his nude photo project. I'd never been photographed before, other than school pictures as a little kid, and have never been any kind of "beauty," so I was totally shocked. He gave me a business card, and had a website, and told me to call him if I decided I wanted to do it. I did. The photos were technically pretty awful, but I had a lot of fun, and he was a very nice person. It was more just about the positive experience than anything else, and pushing myself to do something that I would have not otherwise even thought to consider.
Mostly, it was just in the approach. He was a nice person, came across as sincere, had a business card and a website I could go look at. There was no bullshit, no excessive flattery, the way a man might do if he's handing you a line. It was just, "Hey, you should pose for me. Here's my card. Here's my site..." yada yada yada...
If people feel threatened by you at all, it's a pretty good indicator that they are not a good match for you to shoot with. Just my opinion. People with no balls, and no sense of adventure/daring just aren't going to make very good models.
Yes take the portfolio if you want to do work with them or at least give them a z card. I think a few snaps there and then can be ok but not if the person is in a hurry. Nothing wrong with asking. However some may feel self conscious so don't make a nuisance of yourself. Respect peoples reactions ...many will decline and then that may have an impact on your,self confidence.
You are certainly an accomplished photographer so I would ask whether you want subjects or models. A beautiful or interesting subject doesn't make them a model; as many find to their cost. Not everyone will be flattered you ask and often if they are beautiful they will think you are either hitting on them or they may think you are going to pay them money.
So generally I'd advise against approaching people in the street. It's a weird thing to do in many peoples eyes. Unless of course you don't mind the knockbacks and awkward moments and the camera shy. I get asked at least once a month sometimes more. It has been the same since I wad 18. Took me until 25 and then it was a photographer I met through working at the RGS so I knew he was kosher. Every other I declined and didn't hang around as just assumed it was a chat up and in most cases probably was. So that is what you are up against: the gwc who does that and they are legion. Nowadays I give them my card. Unless its an event of course in which case it's my job to be photographed to get in the press.
Thats the problem right there: 'attractive'. That blows it every time. Better to say 'you have poise, or have great style or a great look. That suggests objectivity and a belief they may actually make a good model. Most intelligent women know being a model is more than being attractive so will automatically be suspicious. I certainly am. Of course there are the other kind who will likely be plaguing anyone with a camera on a night out to take their photos as they think they should be models.
First of all, the internet model photography world is the only place anyone ever heard of a "GWC" so don't bother telling them you're not something they've never heard of.
Secondly, it's not that difficult. Don't make it a formal thing, just say, with a camera in your hand, "could I take your picture?" Some will say no. Many will say yes. Take a picture on the spot of those who say yes, then hand them one of the business cards in your pocket (you do have a pocket full of business cards ... yes, you do) and tell them that if they contact you in a week or so you'll give them a print. Some will not contact you, but many will. Tell those who do that the shot turned out great and you'd love to get them into the studio for a proper portrait session. Some will say no, but many will say yes. When they get to the studio, that's when they see your portfolio.
1. Get a business card to hand out
2. Refer them to your fb page so they can also see your work, you can remind yourself about them and you can communicate with them via FB instant messenger
3. Add photos to your smart phone, so you can show your work when yo approach them.
The rest is confidence, chemistry and how you approach people.
This is advice is good, however, it needs to be tailored to your situation. You're a fashion photographer. "So, excuse me. I'm (say name) the fashion photographer (you can be more modest and declare that you are a fashion photographer). Here is my card. (tell them if they have great style but so sound low key and relaxed). Oh, I forgot to ask your name. . .
You can roll into a conversation if she is open to it. If you use a small portfolio. "I am doing a project. I'm the fashion photographer (if you want to be more modest "a fashion photographer) and here is my card. I have some photos so you can see if you would like what I have done. (You open to the best image) If she takes the portfolio and looks it, you're fine.
Lot's of good fashion photographers have done this. You might only have to say "Hey."
I'm going to be doing this soon.
Thanks, one reason I want to make small port books from Magcloud
I should just try that. Actually Most people think Im the nice guy. It's just that initial contact that I suck at
Great suggestions, thank you all.
I'm googling Z card.
this is the most important thing^^^
Approaching people on the street to make a photo of them is a numbers game, not unlike sales. You'll have to get used to a good amount of rejection.
Take a cue from this fellow. He approaches interesting people all day, every day in NYC and asks if he can make a photo of them and, from what I understand, 2 out of 3 say yes.
Nice, professional looking business cards will help.
Kudos to you for taking constructive action at following your craft.
Best of luck. :-)
beat me to it, have a card made up, with your photography samples on it, email addy and phone number, all the legit jazz and try to be somewhat confident, although i realize its a struggle for a lot of people, if you approach people less than sure of yourself, they are going to pick up on your "bad vibes"
Good point. I didn't mean it as literally saying to them "you are attractive". More that there is nothing to be nervous about in the interaction. There are much better compliments more conducive to approaching a female to model for you. "Great look" being my personal favorite.
That's where the business card comes in more than handy, almost vital. You simply leave it at "Check out my work and if it interests you, maybe we can work together". You aren't forcing her to commit to anything then and there, so it takes a lot of the pressure off.
And also to add, don't take it personally if you never hear from them. And don't be discouraged. Some will take your card to be polite (and possibly just to end the interaction so they can be on their way) Some will not like what they see on your portfolio. Some will like it so much that they are intimidated by it. Much like MM, you need to take a shotgun approach and fire off invitations/contacts to everybody you are interested in working with.
You can try this Song and Dance routine it may just work ?
On a more serious note ..your work speaks for you
^^ +1 and people will read confidence like a book. If you are at ease and confident in your work, they will be too. If not, then practice.
Funny story also, there was a time that I was driving through an Outback Steakhouse drive through to pick up dinner. The girl that came out to deliver my order was exactly what I was casting for on an upcoming project. I simply asked her straight up if she had ever modeled before (she said no, but seemed interested when I told her what I do). I gave her my card, and told her to check out my portfolio and to give me a call or drop me an e-mail if she was interested in shooting. 2 days later she called me. Simple.
The more that you get out there and talk to people of all sorts too, the more comfortable you get talking to people in general. I talk to random people on the street, subway, or wherever I am all the time. It is amazing how fast one can make a valuable contact for a shoot, and I have even made a couple friends along the way by simply talking to people too. good luck
Terrys no gentleman, he got pretty far
Anne L is not either
When women say they like confidence, they're not kidding. And that's not just with dating, but really with anything. Acting nervous makes them nervous, simply put.

UAE Rafale Order on Final
Technical negotiations with the United Arab Emirates for what will be the first export sale of the Dassault Aviation Rafale combat jet, are almost complete. But commercial and government talks continue, so a formal announcement is probably still some months away. Deliveries are unlikely before 2013. At the Paris Air Show, Dassault displayed two scale models of the Rafale with weapons configurations that are unique to the UAE. One of them showed three of that country's Hakim precision-guided bombs, plus large external fuel tanks and Magic air-to-air missiles. The other showed three MBDA Scalp cruise missiles, also with large tanks and Magic AAMs. This latter configuration is said to be quite heavy, and is the reason the UAE contract will provide funds for an uprated version of the Rafale's Snecma M-88 turbofans. This engine upgrade is not required by the French Air Force. Export prospects for the French jet are improving elsewhere, notably in Brazil and Switzerland, where competitions to select a new fighter are ongoing. Kuwait has also expressed public interest in the Rafale.

Building a high tech community - Class Notes Extras
December 2010 Issue
Free IT Athens takes donated computers, refurbishes the hard drives, installs the Linux operating system and sells the machines at a reduced rate. Since 2005, when Semmy Purewal (PhD '07), Michael Luchtan (BS '01, AB '01) and Michael Moore (BS '04, MS '06) started Free IT Athens, the organization has distributed more than 1,500 computers. The alumni also work with the Clarke County School District to restore old computers and provide software training classes to students and parents at schools and at public housing complexes around Athens. The idea of bringing technology, especially free technology like Linux, to everyone is what drives the organization. But Brian Pitts (MA '10), who is on the board of directors for Free IT, says making technology accessible takes more than just $25 computers. He envisions an Athens where everyone who wants a computer and Internet access could have it and could get free IT help—ideally from a computer savvy friend. The organization trains people in …

I only stayed one night here in Page, but the staff and facilities were very good and appreciated their kindness to my (handicap/aid) dog. I will definitely stay here again when I pass through Page. Hope you enjoy it too!
Clean, pleasant pool and picnic tables, quiet and well located
Staff could have been nice (did the job without a smile)
Granite counter top
Old, dirty rug, bathroom rundown, old cracked tile
the wifi it had to be rebooted twice to make the internet work
new landscaping and central location, we can see you are upgrading some facilities, the bed was fine.Our friends in another rm found kids upstairs very disturbing.
Very crowded breakfast room, too cold to be outside. Rooms at our end face public car parks so patios are unuseable and main door opens straight onto public street causing us to feel unsafe, bathroom window unsecure too.
Property was extremely over-priced for what we received. Dirty rooms, smelly linens. Very poor maintenance and cleanliness. Would NOT recommend!
Very run-down and over-priced facility.
Everything was great...we were just needing a bed passing through...grat loc with lots of stores/restaurants within walking
Hard to get on wifi.....guess too many people wanting on
Spacious, comfortable, clean.
Close to a lot of national parks.
Terrible breakfast. Bathroom not well cleaned. Annoyingly weak wifi signal.
Breakfast is good and Tom at the reception was friendly and helpful
Wifi was very bad at the room.
Location in Page
Lot of defects in the room, as well broken door lock, bad rooms, choose a other Motel!
Convenient location, but then again everything is.
Chairs came apart, had to call office to get access to electrical outlets behind bed, housekeeping service poor, king bed was weird, box springs kept separating and my wife kicked a metal flange that stuck out of the frame resulting in blood, a bad shin bruise, and a lot of bad language.
- big room - free parking next to room
- not 100% clean - noisy a/c - poor breakfast
It is located in page
A lot of chips on the mirror. Facilities are very old and run out. Very noizy. The owner(manager) is not friendly. Breakfast is not fresh.
Guest laundry
Too expensive
Staff very helpfull even with very late check in. Nice bfast and very comfy beds! Great location close to Antelope canyon and horseshoe bend. easy to find.
The position. Large room.
The room didn't look cleaned. Breakfast ridicolous for the amount of people they have. Our room had a communication door with another room wich make you hear everything, which is very annoing with screaming babies and uneducated people.. i don't give to this place more than 6 on 10.
This place sucks. The rooms were old and the facility is dated. the price was way out of line for the quality of the room. I expected a lot more from a roadway inn. I will not stay in another roadway. the owners really gouged.
Very convenient location. Good breakfast facility.
It was tedious to have to keep on asking for little things like shampoo, coffee, iron and ironing board that should have been in the room. These were always supplied on request, sometimes very promptly but sometimes after a bit of a delay, but really we should not have had to do this. A pity, because things were pretty good apart from this.
A bit long on the tooth....
Mattress was comfortable
For over $100 a night , I would only stay there if there was no other choices
beds comfortable
loud AC, old facilities, far too pricy, friendely riceptionits though
Nothing, but there was no where else to stay as most places had no vacancies. Wondered what the foreigners who stayed there thought about this US place!
Sheets were very thin; pillow cases were yellowed, old looking. Towels were so old and thin and looked like they had been at the motel since its inception many yrs ago. I have better towels I use for rags! 2nd day there was no liner for the ice bucket &only 1 glass. The carpet was very old. There was an odor in the rm which they took care of the 2nd day. Our rm was right near the stairway which was metal and made noise every time someone walked up or down to the 2nd fl. Would never go back there again!
