The Game Day No One Knows About
"Horse races are a passion of mine. It's not about the betting. I hate gambling. I'm likely the most risk-averse person on the planet. But you go there, smoke a few cigars, drink some bourbon, tailgate all day, and put $2 on a horse so you can yell something - that's what it's all about."
This post contains excerpts from an interview with Scott Underwood.
Introducing Scott:
Scott is a native Kentuckian, now living in Atlanta. When we saw the captivating recommendations he made for a horse race named Keeneland we were super-intrigued and just had to find out more! So we interviewed him.
Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky is apparently home to two big races. The first races are held in April and the next batch of races are held in October. Scott makes it a point to go at least one weekend a year. He drives up from Atlanta on a Friday and drives back on a Sunday.
He was kind enough to answer some questions for us and guide us through a weekend at Keeneland. In essence, it's an event for grown-ups to relive the debauchery from college game-days.
When did you start going to Keeneland?
Growing up in Owensboro, KY, I was raised around horse races. It started with the Kentucky Derby and Oaks when I was younger. Later, I started going to Keeneland throughout high school and during college at Western Kentucky University. There were other race tracks nearby but no one went. For example, the Kentucky Downs was only 20 minutes away from college but there was no history there, no atmosphere and thus no reason to go. It wasn't as cool. Twice a year though we'd drive all the way down to Lexington to go to see the races at Keeneland instead.
As soon as you step foot into Keeneland you get chills. It's a completely different atmosphere from other races. When you step foot inside, you see the old brick buildings, the clock towers and the hedges flanking the tote board. It's truly one of the few racing facilities that's retained its historical integrity.
What do you do when you get there?
Friday, Day 1
6 AM - 1 PM: Drive from Atlanta to Lexington
On the drive up from Atlanta you hit Versailles Road which is a long stretch of picturesque countryside houses, rolling green hills and white picket fences. It's super cool and adds to the overall atmosphere.
2 PM - 7 PM: Go to Bardestown & do the Bourbon Trail
Once you get into Lexington, you've got every good bourbon distillery in the world within driving distance. Authentic bourbon is only made in Kentucky and most of it is made in Bardestown. Bardestown is the big one - the mecca of all badass bourbons. All the bourbons you'll see there, you won't find anywhere else. Bardestown is about 30 minutes away from Lexington and they do this Bourbon Trail which is fantastic. It's a tour of the six big distilleries in town: Maker's Mark, Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve, Jim Bean, Heaven Hill and Four Roses. But that's not the half of it - there are many other smaller bourbon distilleries in town, and they're all are gems - each with their own story to tell.
Kentucky Bourbon Trail Passport
Pappy Van Winkle is the best bourbon on the planet. You can't find it anywhere else. They only make about 7,000 cases a year. Even in Atlanta which is only six hours away - you'd be lucky to find a drop there. But in Kentucky, especially Bardestown, you can get it at the liquor stores by the bottle. Another bourbon at the top of my list is Elmer T. Lee. It's very very smooth and is a little more full than a Basil Hayden or an Eagle Rare. Highly recommend trying both if you're in the area.
8 PM - Late: Dinner & drink in Lexington
Once we're done with the Bourbon Trail it's back to Lexington for dinner and a night out. Two fantastic restaurants I always go to are Ramsey's and Malone's.
Ramsey's is an awesome southern restaurant with character. There are four locations but the original Ramsey's on E. High St. is the best. They have 3 for 1 drink specials for starters - I've never seen that anywhere else. On top of that, when a fire truck rolls by with sirens on everyone gets a free drink. If you want to tuck in though go to Malone's - the best steakhouse in Lexington.
Saturday, Day 2
9 AM - 2 PM: Hit the tracks & tailgate
Saturday we get dressed up. Keeneland is a Bonobos fucking runway show. You'll probably see guys wearing those hideous red pants but that's part of the fun. Guys - blazer and bow tie . Ladies - sun dress and big hat.
Next we do breakfast downtown, throw in a mimosa and bloody mary round to get the day started and then we get to the track. That's when the fun begins and we tailgate for a few hours beside the track and play some corn hole.
2 PM - 8 PM: Grandstand!
Admission tickets to get into Keeneland are about $5 per person. This is definitely not like the Kentucky Derby where they charge upwards of $40 for a ticket. Once we get our tickets and move in, it's all about having a good time.
The races start at about about about 3-4 PM. We usually find a spot in the back, chill and watch races for the rest of the day. Basically we're there to drink and have a good time so I always place low bets. I never bet more than $2 or $3 on a horse. I'm not going there to lose $200 - $300. It's not about the betting. You go there to smoke a few cigars, drink some bourbon, tailgate all day, and put $2 on a horse so you can yell something - that's what it's all about.
8 PM - Late: Downtown Lexington
After the track, Nick Ryan's Saloon is a perfect spot for dinner. It's is in a part of town that's quintessentially southern. In some cracks of the pavement you can still see the old brick street and the building itself looks like it's straight out of the 19th century. When you walk in there's a bar (with awesome bourbon selections). The menu here is unbelievable. The shrimp and grits (chopped up w/ andouille sausage in them) is fantastic. The Southern cob salad is also very very good.
For drinks, Bigg Blue Martini in the downtown Hilton lounge is a great place to start the night. Usually follow that up with drinks at one Sky Bar - my favorite bar in Lexington. Right around Sky Bar are tons of other great bars to hit up as well. Downtown is where you want to stay when you go to Lexington so you can go out at night.
Sunday, Day 3
10 AM - Late night: Tailgate @ Louiseville Parking Lot
You really understand the breadth of the amount of people there when you're tailgating. They open up the farms when the races are on so as your eyes scan across the landscape, thousands of cars cover the hills. It's unbelievable. If you're lucky enough to get a spot in the Louisville lot - that's when you can hang out right by the track. That's why we usually do that on Sundays because it's too damn hard to get there on Saturdays with the crowds. That's where you want to be though when you're tailgating. It's a perfect spot.
We had excellent positioning. This is on the side of the track where no one really spends a lot of time because everybody wants to get inside to place bets and drink. This is good for Sundays when you want to take it easy. This picture is cool though because I'm right on the rail. It's unbelievable seeing the horses up close like that. It's a different way to experience the races.
Why do you go back every year?
Keeneland is truly unique and represents what Kentucky's all about. There are other race tracks. Louiseville is only 60 miles away from Lexington and if you get too bored you can go there but it takes the Kentucky spirit out of it. Anything we have that's worth a damn is horses, bourbon and Keeneland.

Need tips for separating pumpkin seeds from the stringy guts
I love roasted pumpkin seeds and we're having Dorie Greenspan's Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good tonight for dinner. I could be munching yummy pumpkin seeds over The Daily Show if it didn't take me 3 days to clean them.
Anyone got any tips for quick and, one could hope, not stomach-turning cleaning them?
Thanks in advance.
I assume you mean separating them from the pumpkin guts
Well, my mom left them, guts and all, in a tin foil pie plate or a plate or cake pan or I guess the first thing she grabbed from the cupboard, out on the counter for a day or two, until the gutsy stuff was well dried, and then it was much easier to separate the seeds; then it was our job. It's not that quick a process, but certainly not stomach turning. Besides, it's just slimy pumpkin guts, not some other kind of really gross guts that I won't mention. Yuk.
As I got older, I did the same, it worked just fine. Left the pan out on the table overnight, removed the seeds the next morning or whenever, like in a few days. I bet a MW would speed up the process, try that for drying out the guts. However, be cautious with the timing, exploding pumpkin seeds are messy and potentially deadly. You just want to give the guts a head start on the drying process.
If you mean shelling them, that's another story, for another time.
I just take the guts and put them in a big bowl and fill with water. I use my hands and rub everything in between them to try and separate the seeds out some. I start taking the biggests pumpkin pieces out as I can.
i strain and go through several bowls of water, but, the seeds float so as time goes you will eventually be able to scoop more seeds than pulp from the top of the water in the bowl with the flesh sinks towards the bottom.
This lady
uses water too. It looks to go pretty quickly.
Thanks. I've done the water thing before.
Don't know why but "gooey" things just make me beyond skeevy. And there's no 3yo for at least the next 2 years. ;>
+1 on the water thing.
submerge em in water, then put on gloves, so you don't feel the sliminess!
I once had to do this for a competition where I didn't have the luxury of a lot of time. So basically, I roughly separated the seeds from the bulk of the pulp. Then I heated up a cup of canola oil in a very small pan until it was pretty hot (350-375). Briefly (couple minutes) deep fried the seeds in a couple batches. Helped dry out the pulp and it was easier to remove afterward. Seemed to work alright. Toasted em as normal afterward.
Given time though, I would probably just go with Bushwickgirl's method of leaving up spread in a pan to sit out overnight and dry up a bit. Or, of course, Calliope's suggestion to get someone else to do it for you.
Since we go thru a good deal of pumpkin and other seeded fall veggies, we use a small wide tooth comb. It fits in the palm of my hand and as I scrape the seeds separate from the fibers. Does a marvelous and quick job. Another method is to scoop out the middle seed pod in one mass and comb thru it separating out the fibers from the seeds. But the water and drying method also work!

Utah's position near the top of the 50-state jobs derby earlier this year has slipped a few notches, according to government data examined at Arizona State University.
Although the state was No. 3 or No. 4 in the opening months of 2012, Utah now is in a three-way tie for 10th place, according to the university, which reported the Bureau of Labor Statistics data on Thursday.
Top 11 job-growth states (July 2012 vs. July 2011)
1. North Dakota, 6.9 percent
2. California, 2.6 percent
3. Oklahoma, 2.5 percent
4. Arizona, 2.4 percent
5. Indiana, 2.2 percent
6. Minnesota, 2.1 percent
6. Texas, 2.1 percent
6. Louisiana, 2.1 percent
10. Utah, 2 percent
10. Vermont, 2 percent
10. Ohio, 2 percent.
Top 10 job-growth metro areas (1 million or more workers; July 2012 vs. July 2011)
1. San Francisco, 3.5 percent
2. Houston, 3.2 percent
3. Denver, 3 percent
4. Phoenix, 2.9 percent
4. Seattle, 2.9 percent
4. San Diego, 2.9 percent
7. Cincinnati, 2.8 percent
8. Riverside, Calif., 2.3 percent
9. Portland, Ore., 2.2. percent
9. Boston, 2.2. percent

The job-growth rate for Utah, Ohio and Vermont each was up 2 percent in July over the same month of 2011. For Utah, though, that was the slowest year-over-year growth rate since June 2011 and a full point under December's 3 percent.
But not to fret too much, advises Mark Knold, chief economist at the state Department of Workforce Services. He thinks the slide might be only a one-month snapshot that obscures the true strength of Utah's job growth. The rate in June was second-best in the U.S., Knold said.
"It's hard to judge the tide by just one wave that hits the shore. If you were to take the average of the last three months, you'll get a cleaner picture, and you'll see Utah in the top five."
Nationally, the job growth rate for the U.S. was 1.4 percent in July. North Dakota, an oil-and-gas-producing state, was No. 1 — for the 38th consecutive month.
Other states that hadn't been in the top 10 are moving up in the rankings.
"California is the state that's really climbing," Lee McPheters, director of the university's JPMorgan Chase Economic Outlook Center, said Thursday.
"California added 362,000 jobs from July to July, placing it second on the list. It's all the way up from 38th place last July."
Big gains in professional and business services accounted for almost one out of every three new jobs in California. Similarly, 30 percent of the jobs created in Utah last month were in that sector, which has led the way for more than two years.
Indiana (No. 5) and Ohio are growing faster now than at any other time since 2000. Those two states have each added more than 20,000 manufacturing jobs over the year.
Job growth could be a deciding factor in the presidential race this year. Three swing states — Colorado, Ohio and Virginia — all exceeded the U.S. job-growth average last month. Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania fell below the average.

Salesman Bill Porter, Subject of Emmy-Winning TV Movie, Has Died

Bill Porter, the door-to-door salesman in Portland, Ore., who was portrayed by William H. Macy in an Emmy-winning TV movie, has died at 81.
Sam Rockwell stars in the new indie thriller "A Single Shot," which is now available with XFINITY On Demand before it comes to theaters.

On "Shameless," William H. Macy plays the world's most deadbeat dad. He stars as Frank Gallagher, a boozy, shiftless grifter whose brood of six mix-and-match offspring (do any of them share the same mother?) care for one another and, by necessity, him. The oldest daughter, Fiona (played by Emmy Rossum), is the family's de facto mom, a Wendy to Frank's derelict Peter Pan.
The trials and tribulations of the Gallagher family will continue when the third season of "Shameless" premieres next January — and XfinityTV.com has a sneak peek at what lies ahead… More
Here's an assignment for the screenwriters behind "Shameless" and its eye-popping stories: Discuss what the heck you've wrought, and how.
Showtime has renewed its entire current Sunday night slate. Newcomer "House of Lies" will be back for a second season; "Shameless" will return for a third; and Hank Moody's indiscretions will continue to be chronicled in the sixth season of "Californication."
"Shameless" has plumbed the depths of suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, and a slew of other dark topics. Now the Showtime series is going darker with a storyline about euthanasia.
William H. Macy has earned critical acclaim for playing nerdy asexual characters in films such as "Fargo" and "Magnolia." But he says his role as a conniving deadbeat dad on Showtime's "Shameless" series is turning him into a sex symbol.
What a difference a season makes. When Showtime's drama "Shameless" returns for a second season in January, the Gallaghers have shed their winter coats in exchange for cut-off shorts and… More

Just how important is Steve Jobs to Apple? Well if you ask one of the world's richest men, he is incredibly important.
Berkshire Hathaway founder Warren Buffett said in an interview with CNBC that Jobs is to tech what Steven Spielberg is to Hollywood.
Buffett was speaking as Apple prepares to unveil its updated iPad tablet computer Wednesday morning.
While many are wondering if Jobs will attend the event, which is reportedly something he is mulling, others across the pond are arguing whether Apple designer Jonathan Ive is more important to the company at this point than Jobs.
Buffet doesn't seem to think so. While he admitted to not following the company too closely, he said Jobs talents and vision are the driving force behind Apple's success over the past 15 years.

The Rides
American Airlines
I'm on my way!
In the DC area our only airline choice these days to get to Grenada is American Airlines. And, from Washington Dulles, the flight to Miami departs at 6:30 am and gets to Miami at 8:30ish am. This meant that not only did I have to get up before the rooster crows, but that I also got to kill almost 8 hours at the Miami airport since the one flight to Grenada doesn't depart until after 5 PM. Groan
double groan
triple groan.
There are now self-checkin kiosks at Dulles that can be used for international travel. Hooray! This moved the lines along pretty quickly. I'm all for using technology to make my life easier. Well, as I was clicking thru the screens to check-in, that lovely machine wanted to know if I wanted to upgrade to First/Business for just a few more hundred $. Whoa! Why yes indeed I will take the First/Business Class upgrades! I've always envied those passengers sitting pretty in the front cabin while the rest of us in cattle class mosey on to the back of the plane, squeezing ourselves into those cramped seats. No way I was going to pass up being able to get a taste of the luxe life especially since I only had to pay for 1 ticket to upgrade since Hook was not traveling with me. (Sorry sweetie! But I had to do it in the name of research!)
Aaaah, it was so nice being able to board before everyone else, and watching everyone else walk past me as I relaxed on my nice, wide seat (the plane seat, that is, not my ass!) The flight from Dulles to Miami left on time and was uneventful. We were given hot towels to freshen up prior to being served a hot breakfast.
And thus began MyMoosie's latest adventures.
Once in Miami, I headed to the Admirals Club and purchased a daypass. I highly recommend this if you have a long layover. The clubs in Miami are very nice and a lot more relaxing than sitting at the gates. They have free wifi, coffee, tea, cookies, computers with internet access, showers, snack bar, and a bar. I headed to the quiet section, pulled some seats together to make a bed, and tried to catch some sleep as I was exhausted from staying up too late the night before. Just before boarding time, I took a shower which helped me rejuvenate for my final flight leg to Grenada.
Our flight to Grenada boarded on time, then we sat and waited
and waited
and waited. The captain soon announced that the mechanics had to check on something on the plane. So we waited some more. Finally the captain announced that we had to deboard the plane as there was a problem with some thingymajig on the plane that is overheating and that they would have to find us another plane to fly. Oh well, just a minor inconvenience
I would rather they be safe than sorry. Luckily they were able to secure another plane for us to fly that evening, and 1 ½ hours later, we were on our merry way to the Isle of Spice. Those of us in Business Class were provided dinner, which was good, as it would have been too late by the time we landed in Grenada.
Heading Back
Maybe Not?
It was another early morning start to catch the 8:30am American Airline flight back to Miami. At 6:30am, there was already a long line to check-in. A while later, after having stood in a non-moving line for quite some time, an AA representative started walking down the line announcing that the flight was delayed. I was concerned about missing my connecting flight in Miami, so I quickly whipped out the laptop and started looking for alternative connecting flights. Luckily there was free wifi at the airport.
DrBob and his niece Alyssa, fellow-GTFers whom I had met the previous week were in line next to me, so at least we were all able to commiserate together. Something about misery loves company.
Another hour ticks away and we're still in the same damn spot on the line! Finally we learn that the flight was not leaving until 7:15 that evening! Apparently the flight from the previous night came in late, and unfortunately that cut into the flight crew's required rest time. What the? They couldn't alert us of this the night before so we didn't all have to schlep ourselves down to the airport so early?
I had a mobile phone, so we started scrambling through our papers to find the AA reservations phone number to rebook ourselves to other connecting flights rather than waiting in the non-moving line at the airport. We couldn't find a working Caribbean number for AA, so I booted up the laptop again and used Skype to connect to the USA reservations number. The agent I spoke with confirmed that I have been re-booked on another flight and that I did not have to wait in line at the airport. However the AA agents at the Grenada airport insisted that we all stand in line to get re-ticketed and our bags checked-in that morning as there would be no one at the counter that afternoon to check-in the passengers! Again, What the? The line was seriously not moving!
Over 3 hours later, I finally made it to the counter where I learned that the flight would get to Miami at close to midnight, and that I would have to overnight in Miami. I was not thrilled at the idea of having to get my luggage in Miami, take a cab so late in the night to a hotel in a city that I was not familiar with, and have to wake up early again the next day to check-in with my luggage in Miami. Who knows what crummy hotel they would put us up in
and the lines to check-in at the Miami airport are usually a nightmare. No thanks. I asked the agent, very nicely, if it was possible to take the flight out of Grenada the next day instead. A couple of clickety-clicks on her keyboard and she said yes, that would be an option. Well it was a no brainer, I was staying put in my island home. I don't even care if I have to pay for my own hotel room that night, as long as I was in Grenada , life as I know it, is all good.
AA did send all the passengers off with a voucher for breakfast, lunch, and a daypass at the Grenada Grand Beach Hotel on Grand Anse. They gave me a voucher for dinner and a night's accommodation at Grenada Grand, but I chose instead to head back home to Lance Aux Epines Cottages. A big THANKS to Tim at LAE Cottages for giving me the extra night at my Kite apartment. It was so unnecessary, but very much appreciated!!
The next day I finally left the island on the 6:55am flight to San Juan. The flight itself went off without a hitch. In San Juan I lounged at the Admirals Club until it was time to board for my flight to Miami. Yes, this time I had to go from Grenada
to San Juan
to Miami
to Washington Reagan, so it was a very long travel day. Luckily, I once again found myself in Business and First Class on the two flights home. So all was good in Moosie's world.
Oh yeah, don't forget, there is a departure fee in Grenada of $20 US per person, cash only.
Car Rental
Y&R Car Rental was running a special - 10% off if booked online - so I decided to pinch a few pennies and try them out for this trip, especially since they are located at the airport. I thought that I would just drive off from there when I arrived rather than having someone pick me up. Lo and behold, the office was closed when I arrived. I could have sworn that I provided them with my airline information and approximate arrival time...hmmm... I guess I was expecting them to be open, or at least have a representative there to meet incoming clients. I know Sam Azar (Azar's Auto Rentals) would have been there...
A representative from Y&R delivered the car to the cottages instead the next day... at 8:30am! Ummm... didn't I mention I was not an early-bird riser, especially after having had a long travel day?! Anyhoo, the rental process was pretty easy, basically filling up the usual paperwork and inspecting the car, and soon the keys were in my hands.
The car was in good shape, with power-steering. The a/c took a while to get realy cool, but other than that, everything was fine. The steering wheel is located on the right side of the car. Driving is on the left, and after the first day or so of gripping the wheel tightly with two hands, I got the hang of it again and pretty soon I was only steering with one hand and fiddling with the radio or with a drink (non-alcholoic that is!) with the other hand. LOL.
All in all my experience with Y&R Car Rental was ok. However for next time, I think we will stick with Azar's Auto Rentals as we've had excellent service from them in our previous visits.

"Pass The Bowl" is VH1's ongoing interview series, wherein celebrities contribute questions to our bowl and fellow celebs later draw a question.
Mob Wives' Ramona Rizzo: What is your most scariest thing that ever happened to you while you were out in public with a fan?
Emmy Rossum: My most scariest thing was in Germany a couple years ago. I was staying in a hotel for a movie premiere and a fan found out what hotel room I was in. So, I signed autographs outside the hotel and then went into the hotel to go to sleep and went up to my room by myself, and they got in the elevator with me and came up to my room and wouldn't leave. And a couple days later, was actually waiting outside my hotel room door - had somehow figured out what room I was actually in. So, since then, I use an alias.
Emmy's Question For The Bowl: What was the last take-out you ordered? From where and what dish?

Pork with Papaya Salsa and Pineapple-Chile Sauce
In Puebla, Oaxaca, and Guerrero, fruit and meat - such as pineapple, papaya, and raisins with pork - make a popular combination. The salsa (admittedly more Tex-Mex than Mex) cools the heat of the chile sauce.

Flickr Finds: A Modern Nursery
Some rooms are so lovely they take your breath away. Check out this inspiring modern nursery, which is peaceful with a touch of whimsy. We love to see 'adult' furniture, like that gorgeous Modernica Case Study Day Bed being integrated into nursery design. And apparently, no complaints from this lucky baby!
More photos, after the jump.
Love the peaceful pale wall color and plane. And the Modernica couch is inspired - since it converts to a bed in seconds, it makes the nursery a short-term guest bedroom, or just a place to nap with the baby.
We spy Candaloos on the window sill, a gorgeous Jason Lewis rocking chair, a Rug Company Smarties Rug, and a notNeutral Baby Boomer Too Shelf Unit.
Another great shot of the Jason Lewis rocker.
A Room & Board Moda Four Drawer Chest and Coyuchi George bumper and sheet.
A Room & Board Moda crib, and a great overview shot of one half of this nursery.
This is a great modern nursery, and one that will grow as baby grows up. Michi and Yen, thank you so much for tagging your Flickr photos with apartmentherapynursery. This lovely room is truly an inspiration.

This is a great modern nursery IF you have a million bucks to spend. The rest of us will have to look for more creative solutions for putting together an inspiring and modern nursery.
I disagree Lesley, I think this could serve as inspiration and easily be put together using less expensive pieces. I think it's a great example of minimal clutter, beautiful complimentary colors, and clean lines. I love the nursery, especially that rug!!
hasn't this already been featured?
Dunno. Seems kind of cluttered to me. Every bit of floor around the perimeter is taken up with something. Not sure why you need a couch like that in a nursery. i have those cloud/plane stickers and i love them. Love the rocker too. Some art on the walls would be nice. Maybe an outdoor scene since the theme of the walls are sky blue/outdoors.
I agree, if I had thousand of dollars to spend on a nursery, I too would easily come up with a nursery like that. What about a full nursery room for under $1000?
It's not about the furniture peeps, it's about the COLOR, and the colors here (especially the pale blue with the grey of the couch) are great!
"Seems kind of cluttered to me."
To me it seems boring, empty and uninspired
paint the walls pale blue and get a grey sofa and you've got the room above
In my mind the rug (which I adore) doesn't go with the calm restfulness of the rest of the room - and why fill up a whole wall with a huge sofa and then have to have the changing table in front of a closet? - makes no sense to me
I Love the nursery for the exception of the sofa and the rug...they seem so out of place. I am truly inspired with the wonderful colors; but, the arrangement of furniture and that sofa is a distraction.

We're happy to see Joe Cicala standing next to just delivered wood-fired oven. The video that Cicala posted of the delivery guys attempting to get the behemoth into the open wall at Brigantessa didn't exactly inspire confidence.
The wood-burning oven will be at the heart of Cicala's new East Passyunk restaurant that will focus on Southern Italian cooking and pizzas. The oven was manufactured to order in Italy for Briganessa and is hand-made from volcanic ash. Brigantessa is aiming to open this August.
Brigantessa, Joe Cicala's follow up to the excellent work he's doing down at Le Virtu, has been in the works for some time now. We know that it's going into the East Passyunk space that formerly held Karina's, and that the centerpiece of the two-story bar and restaurant will be an imported, wood-fired pizza oven, and that the menu will lean heavily on the cuisine of Southern Italy, with pizzas, house-made pastas, roasted meats and fish and fresh breads being the focus. But other than that, we don't really know much in the way of specifics.
But that should change when Brigantessa takes its first steps out into the public sphere with a combined pop-up (along with the Pitruco Pizza Truck) on Sunday, June 1st. Cicala just tweeted about it an hour ago, and we're already excited to see what he has in store.
Joe Cicala [Twitter]
Karina's, which is making way for Brigantessa, the new concept from the Le Virtu crew, on East Passyunk isn't moving far. The longtime South Philly Italian BYOB will be opening next to door to Fond at 1535 South 11th Street.
Karina's is open for the time being and is looking to a March opening at the new location.

Living Better With Vision Loss
"All my life I've been independent. I know that I can't let my vision loss get me down. I have to keep living my life.

Blindness is a lifestyle change but I try not to allow my medical issues and sight challenges to define who I am as a person. Be happy with what you can accomplish.

Marketplace Meditations 9/27
Adversity: Catalyst to a Call
September 27
"Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything" (Acts 9:8-9).
It's hard to find anyone in Christian history who became a great leader without earning an advanced degree in adversity.
To look at John Wesley (1703- 1791), you wouldn't have thought of him as a great Christian leader. He was just over five feet tall and skeletally thin. In his early years, he suffered greatly from feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and a morbid fear of death. Though he didn't understand the Christian gospel, he devoted himself to doing good works for the poor in an effort to earn his way to heaven. While in his early thirties, he sailed to America to do missionary work among the American Indians.
While crossing the Atlantic, Wesley's ship passed through a violent storm that broke the main mast off its base and nearly sank the ship. As the waves crashed over the ship, Wesley huddled in terror, knowing he didn't have peace with God. He survived the storm, and continued to struggle in his relationship with God for several more years.
Finally, back in London, he attended a meeting on Aldersgate Street, where he heard a preacher say that salvation comes by faith in Christ alone. At that point, he said, "I felt my heart strangely warmed."
Soon after that, Wesley began preaching the gospel. His fifty-two-year preaching ministry became the foundation of the modern evangelical movement. But it never would have happened if John Wesley had not been tossed on the stormy seas of adversity.
Adversity is often God's manure for spiritual callings.

Truth is a Starting Point for Change
Kimberly Seals Allers: I couldn't believe the responses that rolled in after my first post last week discussing how Black mothers are very often missing from the mainstream mommy conversation in this country. Some comments made me wonder if everyone actually read the entire story. Hmmm. Ironically, the same day my blog posted, I was actually in Washington, D.C. attending a symposium on Transforming Maternity Care hosted by a national non-profit called Childbirth Connection. There were more than 200 doctors, practitioners, childbirth educators, midwives, activists and other leaders convened to discuss how we can change maternity care and birth outcomes in this nation.
At the conference at Georgetown University, the thought leaders, decision makers and other key participants brought in to debate the future of maternity care (who were 99% white) unanimously and openly agreed that the mommy movement lacks diversity. Every participant who stepped up to the microphone to ask the group how we can include more African American and Latina women in the national face and voice of mother issues was met with resounding applause. Some attendees even criticized the organizers for not having enough professionals of color leading the sessions at the conference.
My point is that it is not divisive rhetoric to say that black mothers are not in the leadership of the mom movement. It is the truth. It is not a secret that black women have been stereotyped in the media. And it is not sparking a racial agenda to simply state what is so. Truth is the starting point for change. And I applaud all those at the Childbirth Connection symposium for acknowledging this void and speaking openly about what we can do about it. I would only ask all mothers and readers here to do the same.
|Kimberly Seals Allers is an award-winning business journalist and founder and editor-in-chief of MochaManual.com, a weekly online magazine for moms of color. She is the author of "The Mocha Manual to a Fabulous Pregnancy" and "The Mocha Manual to Turning Your Passion into Profit." Kimberly is a divorcing mother of two and lives on Long Island, NY.
I'm curious…and this is a serious question. Do you think they purposely set out to not include minority presenters, doctors, etc., at this symposium? How did they choose these presenters? I would hope they'd choose the most qualified in their field - minority or otherwise. Including people based on their skin color? Isn't that the very thing that MLK and other civil rights leaders were fighting for to begin with? Yet, we still see similar things happening with affirmative action, just in reverse.
Do you really believe an entire conference is out to exclude blacks? Could it not be that there are more pressing things happening in the black community and that maybe black leaders don't share your views on the importance of pointing out racism in the realm of motherhood? Stop playing the victim.
I would think that maternal and neo-natal outcomes would be considered a "pressing issue" in the black community. And it hardly anti-equality to choose from among a pool of qualified leaders in the medical field a variety of speakers with different experiences and backgrounds. That is how we learn.
All I have to say about this is stop asking the white community why they are excluding blacks/latinos/asia women from being out there but start asking black/latino/asis women to start stepping it up more to be out there.
Who is playing victim here? The writer did not suggest that it is a conspiracy that there is a lack of diversity, merely stated that there is a lack. She did not say "whoa is us, we are maligned". Is it that hard to believe that there is a disparity that it is going to take a conscious effort to correct? When women were not treated as fairly in the workplace as they are now, it took a conscious effort to correct. No one is asking for special consideration, only inclusion. Jeez.
I think when people here on the blog "blame the victim" and dismiss another persons feelings or what they say they have some higher issue that they are dealing with themselves that they need to get over. They need to wake up as a human being.
to Monica how is the writer of this blog a "victim" she's upset that professionals of diverse racial backgrounds didn't show up to speak? Why not be mad at those people for not making effort to attend and speak on behalf of their own people?
Not enough professionals of color on hand? Take a look at the African-American college graduation rates at the census bureau's website. The black community needs to step up to the plate, get educated, and quit complaining about how everyone is holding them back.
Lea, my comment is in general. Not about the writer. Riley is telling her to stop playing the victim. (Although that comment was irrelevant to the point the writer was trying to get to.) On the other blog people keep shouting stop playing the victim. I've heard it over and over. And I'm saying that who are you to tell someone to stop playing the victim. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes then you have the right voice your opinion on who's the victim. We have no idea who it was that behind choosing the key participants in the conference. But obviously there were no professionals of color. She didn't say that the professionals of color were invited and didn't show up. The question would be when selecting the participants and speaker why weren't any of color chosen?

Yeah. I've been hearing very positive things about this event... Personally, I have only been looking at a few art schools in California. I've never considered any school on the eastcoast.

wow, i remember this, i was lugging around my artwork to these college tables, hoping to get lucky. in new york it was at FIT. i was so excited. i went with my friends, thinking back on it now, those were really great exciting times!

Did you guys know thousands in Detroit are experiencing water shutoffs?
Like, thousands in Detroit are living without running water?
Detroit, USA?

They're Americans?
Who have been so neglected by their local / state / federal govs that they are now appealing to the UN for what could blow into a human rights tragedy?
You show me a picture of a cool looking old house and I just see metric butt tonnes of maintenance to be done. Home ownership and being a landlord has ruined me.
why do people say "don't be a pussy" when talking about weakness more like "don't be a man's ego" because you know there isn't nothing more fragile than that
because "pussy" is the shortened form of the word "pusillanimous", which means "timid, cowardly"
and not the slang word for the female genital region?
literally no one else knows this. nobody.
For your information:
The friend zone is very real. We have all had someone we were close to that we realized we were crushing on in a big way - but we hated ourselves for it. As much as we hoped and prayed things would change for the better, many of us acknowledged that our love for the other person was going to be detrimental towards the relationship. The people in this kind of friend zone cry while watching romance movies or go out and get drunk and kiss strangers. We make sure to keep a respectful distance between the person we like and ourselves - we are distinctly afraid of fucking things up because of our shitty heart being a complete dickweed and doing the thumpy thing when it shouldn't.
The Friend Zone is entirely false and is a complete invention made by boys who on one hand get angry if they think you're soliciting sex by playing video games but on the other hand get angry if you are not soliciting sex just by breathing. The Friend Zone consists rarely of actual friends - instead it's often people who stare at us in class and make us uncomfortable by constantly trying to talk to us while we're obviously engaged in something else. These are the people who invade our personal space and aren't afraid to talk dismissively about the things which we are passionate about - our faith in particular.
These are not kind people. Once I was in a hospital's waiting room and a woman was quietly saying a prayer for her son. After a few minutes, several other people joined in, linking their hands and bowing their heads. The boy next to me began to talk loudly to me about how disgusting and juvenile it was and how amused he happened to be by the behavior of the "sheep."
"I'm Catholic," I replied, looking into his eyes, "I think what they're doing is beautiful."
He looked down my shirt. "You seemed more intelligent than that," he snorted, "I should have known. Are you even reading that book or are you just skimming?"
I blinked. I wish I had said something like, "No, I'm just breathing in the words and hoping they stick," but instead I just gave him a dirty look and tried to tune him out. He kept talking to me for the better part of an hour.
Eventually, he got around to asking me out for coffee. I wanted to explain I was waiting for my mother to get out of chemotherapy, that my family was poised on the edge of a terrible end, that I barely knew him and basically already hated him. Instead, I smiled sheepishly and said, "I'd rather not."
"You bitch," he replied. I watched his face flare hot. "You sluts are all like this. You play hard-to-get faux-intelligent and you lead people on just to hurt them."
"I'm…?" I started. I was scared. He was in my face. His hands were curled into fists.
"You're all like this," he repeated. At this point, a few of the other people in the room were staring. I was pressed against the side of my chair, trying to get as far from him as I could. He wouldn't lower his voice. "You fucking friend zone all the nice guys and date shitty asshole men and then come crying to our shoulders when you need someone."
I am not a confrontational person. Panic bubbled in my throat. I felt tears jump into my eyes. I started stuttering again. I was really honestly positive he was going to hurt me - for no other reason than turning down coffee.
This is the difference between the friend zone and the Friend Zone: one is hating yourself for liking the other person. The other is hating the other person for not liking you."—A nighttime story about why the terrible deep Friend Zone, mostly written because about seventeen boys have asked what I mean when I complain about it. (via inkskinned)
This post/cartoon may have some interesting things to say about "false equity", but I cannot take the author of this infographic serious. Why? THE ATROCIOUS MISUSE OF GRAMMAR AND MISSPELLINGS. Superficial? Possibly. But dammit, spellcheck the text of your graphic and have somebody proof it before you post it.
I didn't go deep enough with intersectionality, but wanted to keep it simple for people who still don't get it.

Kristina, 22. East Coast. "Tonight, there are people here who are in love, who are touching each other for the first time. It is beautiful like demolition. In the flashing lights, we turn our faces upward, our cheeks so shiny that our tears could be mistaken for glitter." @sleepykristina
It would be very nice to come home and be in the wrong house. To eat dinner with the wrong people by mistake, sleep in the wrong bed by mistake, and kiss everybody good-bye in the morning thinking they were your own family.

Don't Bragg
It was a great surprise to receive a letter some months ago from Lord Bragg (he of unimpeachable Melvynous South Banksy fame) asking if I might consider taking over from him as President of the charity MIND. Only a few years ago MIND had paid me the great compliment of appointing me their 2007 mental health "Champion" so I was fully aware of the organisation and the fine work they did.
MIND, as you may or may not know is, in its (I should now say "our") own words: "the leading mental health charity in England and Wales." This is not to take away from SANE and the indefatigable Marjorie Wallace, or the work done by dozens, indeed hundreds, of smaller more locally based mental health charities up and down the country. I cannot bear it when charities, of all institutions, regard each other as rivals or even enemies. The superb Time to Change for example, is a result of cooperation across the sector. It also gave me great pleasure when this coalition government, for all that it is not my idea of the political dream team of the century (but which government ever was?) made good strides towards placing the issue of stigma front and centre with their initiative Shift.

Rice and simple - Class Notes Extras
June 2012 Issue
A late-night run to a Taiwanese grocery store in 2005 inspired Jennifer Lee (MAcc '86) to create Rice & Simple meals. She wanted something light and spotted a microwaveable Japanese rice dish among the frozen foods. "The first bite hit me," Lee says. "It was so surprising. It tasted like fresh cooked rice." She quit her job at IBM in Taiwan and moved back to the U.S. to start her new business, Gabby's Choice. The meals are made from Jasmine or brown rice, with soy, shiitake mushroom and teriyaki sauces. At $2.49 each, the meals are targeted to college students. "I wish I had something like this when I was in college," Lee says. "They're easy to make, and they're healthier than Ramen noodles." So far, consumer response has been favorable. Lee recalls a note she got from a woman with an inoperable stomach tumor who said that though her diet was limited, she could eat the Rice & Simple meals …
