We were three hours from Seattle and at least a half an hour from cell coverage when we hung a right at the Willapa Hills Farm sign. We continued down a long driveway toward a farm nestled on the banks of the Chehalis River — 100 acres of beautiful timbered hills and lowland pastures populated by over a hundred milking ewes grazing in the fields.
Willapa Hills Sheep Dairy and Farmstead Cheese owner Amy was there to greet us and she flashed me that universal mom smile of understanding as my brood and I tumbled out of the minivan (Amy and her husband Stephen have three children: Willem, 10; Lucas, 8; Lillian Grace, 6).
In 2005 Amy, a naturopathic physician, and Stephen, who worked in faith-based non-profits, left behind city life to raise their family and milking sheep at the historic Stannek family farmstead.
I've often had a similar dream. At home we have our own "working" farm: A half-acre for our dog, cat, gerbils, guinea pigs, chickens and rabbits to graze upon. The chickens were attacked and eaten one night by raccoons and the guinea pigs by our neighbor's dogs… Farm life isn't easy or for the faint of heart.
My daughters — Sophie, 13 and Amelia, 9 — are anxious to experience what it's like to work on a real farm, or, more specifically, what it is like to help farm animals being born and to milk animals for food.
I figured it was beyond time to get these kids to a real milking farm the day Amelia ran into the house and blurted out, "Mom! I just milked Roxy!"
Roxy, her rabbit, had recently given birth to a litter and Amelia had been heavily involved in the breeding process.
"How exactly do you milk a rabbit?" I asked. I had seen Roxie's "teats" and the feat seemed nearly impossible.
"Like this," Amelia said, pausing to lift her hands into the air, she pinched her thumbs and pointer fingers together into micro crab pincers and wiggled them up and down.
"I wanted to see for myself what bunny milk looked like," she explained matter-of-factly.
Amelia's curiosity is infectious.
"What does it look like?" I asked her.
"It looks clear, kinda like tap water that's a bit cloudy."
I'm always thrilled when my kids are curious about how stuff works, and part of what I love about being a mom is figuring out how opportunities and wasy to encourage their curiosity that don't include buying a goat.
That day spent on the Willapa Hills Farm our farming curiosity was sated. We learned how to make cheese, milk sheep, collect eggs from chickens; we caught and released a frog down by the Chehalis River that runs through the property; we toured a shipping container that Amy and Stephen transformed into the new Willapa Hills Country Store that sells cheese and wine; and watched a pack of pony-sized wooly white "working" dogs whose job it was to fend off coyotes.
Willipa Hills Fresh Sheep Milk Cheese With Marinated Tomatoes
One to two fresh rounds of Willapa White or other fresh lactic-style sheep milk cheese (cut into 1/4 inch round slices)
8 large tomatoes (cut into 1/4 inch thick slices)
2/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 chopped green onion
4 Tbsp. capers
2 cloves of crushed garlic
1 to 2 tsp. salt to taste
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Fresh chopped basil to taste
Fresh parsley to tastes
Place sliced tomatoes in a glass serving dish or deep plate. Set a sliced round of Willapa White onto each tomato slice. Spoon dressing over tomatoes and cheese and marinate for several hours in the refrigerator.
We also learned how the Whole Foods Local Loan Producer Program has been instrumental in making Amy and Stephen's farming dreams come true.
That day on our visit to the farm we had the pleasure of meeting Denise Breyley, Whole Foods Market Forager for the Pacific Northwest region. Denise grew up on a small family farm in Ohio and has worked at Whole Foods Market since 1985. Denise's job is connecting Whole Foods customers to the people who grow, raise and produce the products stocked in Whole Foods stores and sharing their stories.
More Forks in the Road
"The Local Producer Loan Program provides low-interest loans to help local producers flourish. In addition to featuring local products in our stores we're putting our money where our mouths are by providing up to $10 million in low-interest loans to independent local farmers and food artisans. We're proud to support small producers who need a hand, not a handout, to help them make their dreams reality."
As a mom of five, I spend a lot of time in grocery stores. I love supporting local farmers and artisans. I became curious about Amy and Stephen's story after reading about them at Whole Foods and devouring their delicious award-winning Big Boy Bleu artisanal cheese spread.
For farmers like Amy and Stephen being discovered by Denise at their local farmers market where they sell their cheese was as life-changing as a small-town musician being discovered by Simon Cowell.
"The Whole Foods Market Local Producer Loan Program has opened up a world of possibilities for us. The equipment we purchased from the proceeds of their low-interest loan more than doubled the shelf life of our artisan spreads, significantly expanding our potential market area and enhancing their accessibility for consumers."
"And as for Denise… We have a very select group of family and friends who I call the 'True Believers' and Denise is one of them. Denise has been unwavering in her belief in our products and in us as small producers. As we have faced any number of challenges, Denise has always had our back. She is family and any success we achieve is in part thanks to her unwavering support!"

Cooking with your kids! Mario Batali style….
Here's the recipes from my Huffington Post blog. Have Fun!
Mario Batali's recipes from Multo Gusto
Spring Peas with Mint
¼ cup red wine vinegar, preferably Chianti
¼ cup sparkling water
½ cup extra virgin olive oil, preferably Ligurian
(makes 1 cup)
2 lbs peas in the pod, shelled, or 2 cups fresh peas
1 medium red onion, cut into dice about the same size as the peas
½ bunch fresh mint, leaves removed and torn into 2-3 pieces each
¼ cup Red Wine Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Maldon or other flaky sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Whisk the vinegar, water, and olive oil together in a small bowl. (The vinaigrette can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.)
Combine the peas, onion, and mint in a medium bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper and serve, or let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to bring out the flavors. (The peas can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before serving).
Serves 6.
Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Makes 4 Servings | Region: Lazio | Book: Molto Italiano (Ecco 2005)
A true carbonara has no cream, and it can be slightly tricky in its execution. The key is to toss and thoroughly mix the cooked pasta off the heat with the cheese, eggs, pepper, and pasta water, to create a creamy yet not overly thick sauce. I like to separate the eggs and present the individual egg yolks in nests of pasta; then each guest stirs the yolk into the pasta to cook it and form an even creamier sauce. Be sure to use the best—quality eggs you can get.
3 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
8 ounces Guanciale (recipe below), Pancetta, or good Bacon
1 pound Spaghetti
1 ¼ cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 large Eggs, separated
Freshly ground Black Pepper
Bring 6 quarts of water to boil in a large pot, and add 2 tablespoons salts.
Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and guanciale in a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan set over medium heat, and cook unti the guanciale has rendered its fat and is crispy and golden. Remove from the heat and set aside (do not drain the fat).
Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until just al dente. Scoop out ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water and set aside. Drain the pasta.
Add the reserved pasta water to the pan with the guanciale, then toss in the pasta and heat, shaking the pan, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add 1 cup of the Parmigiano, the egg whites, and pepper to taste, and toss until thoroughly mixed.
Divide the pasta among four warmed serving bowls. Make a nest in the center of each one, and gently drop an egg yolk into each nest. Season the egg yolks with more pepper and sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup Parmigiano over the top. Serve immediately.
½ cup Sugar
½ cup Salt
15 Black Peppercorns
4 sprigs Thyme, leaves only
2 pounds Hog Jowls
Combine the sugar, salt, peppercorns, and thyme leaves in a small bowl. Put the hog jowls in a nonreactive casserole and coat with the mixture, rubbing gently. Cover and refrigerate for 5 to 7 days.
Black Cabbage Bruschetta
Total Time: 25 min
Prep: 5 min
Cook: 20 min
Yield:4 servings
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 4 tablespoons
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, plus 2 peeled whole cloves
2 bunches cavolo nero (or kale), chopped into 1-inch ribbons
4 slices country bread, 1-inch thick
1/2 pound pecorino toscano
Preheat the grill or broiler.
In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, heat the 6 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic slices together over medium heat, until the garlic begins to soften. Add the cavolo all at once, stirring to keep the garlic from settling at the bottom. Cover the pan and allow the cabbage to cook until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, grill or toast the bread. Rub 1 side of each toasted bread slice with raw garlic. Place 1 slice of bread in 4 shallow bowls and top each slice with a large spoonful of the cabbage mixture. Drizzle each bruschetta with 1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and shave pecorino over each portion.
Chef Tom Douglas a really cool guy!
He contributed a recipe to a new book I'm working on, gave a great interview and posed with Sophie, Amelia and I. Here are some photos of our journey to make Roasted Tomatillo Salsa and Chicken Skewers!
Frog Catchin'
I love it that my kids love to catch and with a little (no, a lot of prodding) release them back into the wild. I remember doing the same thing with my sister when I was a kid. There's nothing like that rush of waiting and wading knee deep in the swampy ditch on the side of our house and then, grab! Caught one.
Our neighbor who's lived on our lake for years said the frogs used to jump in the hundreds around their murky habitat pools on the side of the road…now it's a real find when Amelia observes a few. So you can imagine her delight when she actually feels the slimy, delicate froggy between her gentle fingers. Both are so precious.
Inspired Quote
"There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people shoud see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred."
Theodore Roosevelt, Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter 1905.

Princeton is a municipality with a borough form of government in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, that was established on January 1, 2013, through the consolidation of the Borough of Princeton and Princeton Township. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 28,572, reflecting the former township's population of 16,265, along with the 12,307 in the former borough.[1][2][3][4][5]
Princeton is best known as the location of Princeton University, which has been sited in the community since 1756. Although Princeton is a "college town", there are other important institutions in the area, including the Institute for Advanced Study, Westminster Choir College, Princeton Theological Seminary, Educational Testing Service (ETS), Opinion Research Corporation, Siemens Corporate Research, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Sarnoff Corporation, FMC Corporation, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Amrep, Church and Dwight, Berlitz International, and Dow Jones & Company. Princeton is roughly equidistant from New York City and Philadelphia. Since the 19th century, it has been connected by rail to both of these cities by the Princeton Branch rail line to the nearby Princeton Junction Station on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor.[6] Princeton is close to many major highways that serve both cities, and receives some TV and radio broadcasts from each. The Princeton train station was moved from under Blair Hall to its present location on University Place in 1918.[7] Commuting to New York from Princeton became commonplace after the Second World War. While the Amtrak ride time is similar to New York and to Philadelphia, the commuter-train ride to New York – via New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor Line — is generally much faster than the equivalent train ride to Philadelphia, which involves a transfer to SEPTA trains in Trenton. New Jersey Transit provides shuttle service between the Princeton and Princeton Junction stations; the train is locally called the "Dinky", and has also been known as the "PJ&B" (for "Princeton Junction and Back"). Two train cars, or sometimes just one, are used. New Jersey's capital is the city of Trenton, but the governor's official residence has been in Princeton since 1945, when Morven in the borough became the first Governor's mansion. It was later replaced by the larger Drumthwacket, a colonial mansion located in the township. Morven became a museum property of the New Jersey Historical Society. Princeton was named No. 15 of the top 100 towns in the United States to Live and Work In by Money Magazine in 2005. Although residents of Princeton (Princetonians) traditionally have a strong community-wide identity, the community had been composed of two separate municipalities: a township and a borough. The central borough was completely surrounded by the township. The Borough seceded from the Township in 1894 in a dispute over school taxes; the two municipalities later formed the Princeton Public Schools, and some other public services were conducted together before they were reunited into a single Princeton in January 2013. The Borough contained Nassau Street, the main commercial street, most of the University campus, and incorporated most of the urban area until the postwar suburbanization. Borough and Township had roughly equal populations. United States Postal Zip Codes for Princeton include 08542 (largely the old Borough), 08544 (the University), 08543 (the Seminary), and 08540. The latter covers areas outside Princeton proper, including portions of Lawrence, Hopewell, and West Windsor Townships in Mercer County, Montgomery and Franklin Townships in Somerset County, and Plainsboro and South Brunswick Townships in Middlesex County. The resulting ambiguity is exploited by local real estate agents who will often advertise a property in these neighboring communities as having a "prestigious Princeton address". Further adding to confusion is the spread of "Princeton" as part of business, church, and residential development even further beyond the boundaries of the town. Princeton lies at latitude 40°21' North, longitude 74°40' West. [edit] Research Tips

Sad but true: consistently blight attracts campaign signs. Why? Free and unregulated use of space. That's why. If a property owner doesn't care enough about the blight, then they surely won't care if a campaign sign (or six!) get placed on it, right? Yuck. That's wrong and disgusting. Aren't our elected officials supposed to give a damn about blight!? Not adorn it to their own ends. Doesn't this speak volumes about who we are electing, voting for, and expecting to enforce law? Or is The City that Care Forgot ultimately and only that? I'd like to think not. I'm guessing you'd like to think not also. I'd like to believe there's some level of enforcement out there that punishes the offending. What about the Alliance for Good Government? Perhaps they only endorse candidates. Continue reading »
Graffiti. Street art. Tags. New Orleans has a graffiti culture, a well-documented and healthy one at that — which should come to the surprise of exactly no one with our moniker of "The City That Care Forgot." Webster's says use of the word graffiti came into play in the early 60s and is Italian in origin. Um, okay, I can see that. Mostly we may define graffiti as "inscriptions, slogans, drawings, etc. scratched, scribbled, or drawn, often crudely, on a wall or other public surface." But is it that easy? Isn't calling something graffiti today a little like reclassifying a behavior exhibited from the dawn of time? Cave drawings. Wall art. Images telling us a story. Legally, illegally, or otherwise.

New Orleanians possess a presence that in my experience remains unparalleled, and we know our neighbors no matter what. By this I mean we all participate in the characterization of the city, and we do so seemingly effortlessly. Whether you're John Goodman, John Georges, or John Fitzgerald. You live here. We know who you are and to a degree we don't care. This remains one of the reasons the celebrity set can be drawn to the Crescent City. Anonymity in the light of day. We don't care if you throw Super Bowl touchdown passes, win Grammys, or sautee garlic. It's all the same, and you put your pants on one leg at a time like everybody else.
For years in my early days of slinging coffee at PJs on Maple I used to wait on this super nice guy. He came in generally in the late afternoon / early evenings and always ordered a cappucino. He was tall and real lean, salt and pepper hair usually kept under a beret or similar chapeau, and always a smile and a greeting. But I didn't know his name or what he did. And it went on like this literally for years. One day, a co-worker said to me "You know who that is, right?" I didn't. It didn't matter really. "Charles Neville," he said. "Oh. (pause) Oh! (pause) Oh, okay. Well," I thought, "he's a cool guy." And good for him. He's Charles Neville without being "Charles Neville."
Years later after Katrina I moved to a new neighborhood, and I met another noteworthy saxophonist in my new neighbor, though like Charles, at the time I had no idea who he was or what he did. Initially Steve and I met while my wife and I began renovating the house next door. He and his wife Sharon were just as welcoming and warm as could be. And the more we got to know them, their presence became so ordinary and familiar, you could almost take it for granted. I knew Steve was a saxophonist, but I didn't know much more than that. At home sporting a Monster Magnet tee or overalls or both and usually in Crocs, Steve comes across fairly unassuming, despite any distinctive eyeware or his wildish white mane a la Doc Brown.
So I began to wonder. I know those in his industry know Steve, but do his neighbors, neighborhood, and city on the whole? Maybe. Maybe not. But here's a little insight into "the man in the purple house" next to me, a man my girls know simply as "Mr. Steve." Continue reading »
It's no secret. As the summer creeps to a close in the Crescent City, your favorite place to sidle up for a meal may well be closed for a substantial amount of time. Like weeks. Like from now til after Labor Day. Like a sign is posted on the door along the lines of we-know-you're-hungry-but-try-our-friends-around-the-corner. Ugh. Really? Everyone needs a vacation though, right? And historically the remaining summer weeks can be so quiet. "How quiet?" you ask. So quiet it's less expensive for the establishment to close than to stay open. Business sense. But that was the old school, pre-K, if you will. There's a whole new school that may or may not subscribe to the wisdom of the ages. But then the population of the city isn't today what it has always been. Continue reading »
Slowly, craft beer has carved out a noticeable niche in an industry once dominated by "big box" beer: the Bud, Miller and Coors that for the longest time ran the beer game. Then came a shift. Like all industries, there's an evolution that must take place, a course that is followed whereby ideas are born, tried, and either die away or begin to thrive. It's the evolution of business. Successful, stable businesses really only remain successful and stable for so long, until competition forces their improvement or sounds their death knell. (OK, maybe it isn't that dramatic.)
So it went with beer. Locally, over 20 years ago Abita Brewing tested the waters of craft, and look where they are today. Other communities around the country have similar stories. Today, craft is just hitting its stride, with new breweries popping up in an unprecedented fashion. From a beer lover's point of view, it's nothing short of amazing. Locally, in the last few years we've seen the rise of Lazy Magnolia, Heiner Brau, NOLA, Bayou Teche, and Covington brews. The latest is Tin Roof. Maybe you've heard of it. And if you haven't, now you will. Continue reading »
You know when you're at a party and someone is telling a story, and you think to yourself, "That can't be real. I mean, really, what they're saying just can't be true. Fiction. Fiction, I tell you. It's gotta be fiction." At a recent gathering I was half listening to a story about City Hall and "bumping" and these same thoughts clouded my head. Based purely upon seniority, city workers can take someone else's job when the senior party's present position becomes eliminated. OMG and LOL, what a funny story! That's a good one! Hooo, you had me. I mean, you got me. Ahhhhhh. (Wipe a tear from eye). Only it's true. (Pause). Wait. What? It's true!? WTF? Really!? Though it reads like something out of Rocky & Bullwinkle, the bump is on the real. Continue reading »
As this 4th of July fast approaches I am reminded of many things apart from celebrating our independence, and they mostly have to do with gunpowder, matches, gasoline and other accelerants. As a boy fireworks were, of course, fascinating. Living in the city limits we would sometimes feel brazen enough to set off a few firecrackers at odd hours but never a full-on display. Plus, your stash was something you coveted. Were you really going to blow up all your M-80s in one go? No way! As such, we'd often find ourselves pulled over to the side of a farm road overlooking a ditch or some other waterway just, well, blowing things up. One such evening, as the sun had just slipped over the horizon, I was with my brother and his friends, and something 'bout the moon wasn't right. Nonetheless someone cranked up Van Halen's "Running with the Devil" and an array of explosions ensued. We all walked away with all digits intact, that day. But this one time… Continue reading »
I took my first honest to goodness road trip shortly after my high school graduation. Growing up in small town Texas hitting Houston or New Orleans even was no great distance. So the summer of '92 myself and three others made a trek to Colorado, specifically to mysterious, mountainous, and possibly snowy Breckenridge. In my house we never really went on a vacation. Houston and New Orleans were the vacation. Some times Crystal Beach. I had never had the opportunity to head west or north of Texas so to me then this was a big deal — and something that was only going to happen if I made it happen. Continue reading »
I love coffee. No really, I love coffee. Proof: I happily worked in cafes for over a decade before finally retiring my green apron. Okay, they asked me to leave. No really, they did. But, another story for another time. Back to coffee. Good coffee. Where to get it. How to brew it. But when you're away from your environs as summer months tend to bend our routines, what do you do? Pray to Kaldi wherever you are traveling there's a halfway decent cafe? Or maybe you're a full on coffee geek (like me) and you travel with your coffeemaker? See, as much as I love Kaldi, I've traveled enough to know that praying and gambling on a decent cup of coffee is a hope and a bet you'll almost certainly lose every time. So beat the odds, and travel prepared. This is your morning cup of coffee we're talking about here. Some things are sacred, and to me, this is one of them. Continue reading »
As my thoughts are wont to do, the other day my mind started musing, this time on bikes, and I began to wonder "When was the bicycle invented?" A Google search later, low and behold, turns out the pedals and cranks were first fabbed in 1861 by Ernest Michaux making this year, 2011, their sesquicentennial. Soooo, happy birthday (modern) bicycle! You're 150 years young! Somehow I thought you would be older than that, because really you are. Dating back to Da Vinci, but then maybe not. Who can say? Nonetheless I hope Smucker's and Willard Scott give you mad props on the Today Show real soon! Continue reading »
I don't have cable, but if I did, I'd have HBO. And if I had HBO I'd watch Treme. No questions. What I do have is 4 kids and a subscription to Netflix. The former keep me pretty busy, and the latter keeps them pretty busy. And until we get some streaming action from any Treme episode a la Netflix I'll remain somewhat informed of what's what on Treme per the awesome and some might say over-the-top Monday-morning analysis of the previous evening's episode on nola.com. I mean, have you read this? It's like a molecular breakdown of every facet of those few minutes, from who recorded what song and why it was playing to why so-and-so said such-and-such. It's a little over the top for my taste but allows me to live vicariously through it so I may almost experience each episode. And from everything I've read, not just on nola.com, my latest epiphany is this: because Kermit Ruffins is the only character to play himself, Treme is a nice reflection of post-Katrina New Orleans, but it's moreso the writer's version of events, not always wholly a true retelling of actual events. Kind of like Tom Petty in The Postman. Tom Petty actually played himself in Kevin Costner's 1997 forgettable and so-so pseudo-futuristic tale. And Kermit, well, he's the only cast member to do likewise thereby bending the allowable laws of storytelling. Wouldn't you want everyone to play themselves? Or not at all? Having one "as himself" changes the whole dynamic. Steve Zahn is Steve Zahn. But he plays Davis Rogan. I mean if Davis played himself – and he could – wouldn't the dynamic of the show be closer to what's really real? Continue reading »
Tonight in New Orleans, two American iconic alternative bands will each play an album from their catalogue, back to back, and in its entirety. Camper Van Beethoven's Key Lime Pie and Cracker's Kerosene Hat shall shake the walls of Tipitina's and provide an experience maybe no one might expect. It being 2011, not 1989 or 1993 respectively, it's fair to ask "Why?" Recently I swapped emails with Cracker's guitarist Johnny Hickman, and here's what he had to say: Continue reading »
Ready or not, Kid Rock will open for The Nevilles as Jazz Fest draws to a close this coming Sunday. That's right: Kid. Rock. And The Nevilles. Odd pairing? Unlikely bedfellows? Don't be so quick to judge. On the surface, yes, this line-up would seem misguided or ill-conceived, like if Faith No More were to open for The Temptations. I don't know; I'd go see that. And I may just go see Kid Rock too. Despite the headline, I'm actually not anti-Kid Rock. And no, he shouldn't die, but should he play Jazz Fest? Continue reading »
Jazz. Fest. By themselves, these two words evoke generally positive elements within one's frame of mind. But put them together and cataclysmic forces rip open a wormhole of decades of performances and experiences that run the gamut from the mundane to the sublime. Festival season crowns each April in Southeast Louisiana, and Jazz Fest reigns the highest of holidays in this vein. Continue reading »
In the marketplace and on the whole, Americans have too many choices. But, thankfully, when selecting housing, it usually comes down to two: buying or renting. You can only crash on a friend's couch or play house for so long before an expectation of contribution surfaces, whether via rent or mortgage payment. And this time of year many are renewing their leases, but some are seeking new digs. Others are looking to invest in their future and buy their first home or maybe an income-producing multi. So what do you do? The real question is, "What headache do you want?" Continue reading »
I ride my bike. A lot. I always have. When I was kid I used to ride all over Beaumont, Texas, the towniest of towns. I collected comics then, and there were few places that offered the medium. I'd hit Parkdale Mall, or I'd venture out to mom and pop shops like Mike's Coins & Books in old town. Between there, the mall bookstores and Jack's Pak-It I fed my comics craving well enough, and years later we finally got an honest-to-goodness comics shop, Comics Kingdom. But as a kid we never conceived of the monolithic book emporiums that now litter America's landscape. And litter in the literal sense. Some are closing. With more to follow. Big, big boxed behemoths once bustling with beaming readers, now lay in wait for the next highest and best use of the space. Continue reading »
Two weeks ago I wrote on the etiquette of tipping and festivals, and it lit a few fires. Apart from festivals I have an ongoing "discussion" with a friend about whether one should tip at a cafe. Mojo's, Rue, Starbucks, PJ's, or CC's, wherever you secure your crank: do you tip? And if so, how much? And if not, why not? My friend does not, and here's why: most if not all cafes already pay their servers minimum wage or higher, while restaurant waitstaffs and bartenders still make considerably less per hour. That's her rationale. She gives at the white linen table cloth but not to the green apron. "It doesn't make sense to tip at a coffee shop," she says. But I disagree. Why? Because it (almost) evens out, that's why. It does make sense. Continue reading »
If you know anything about New Orleans in its post-Katrina journey you should at least have heard something – or some things – about Freret Street. Good or bad. Beyond bisecting the city from north and south as a fairly well-traveled thoroughfare, it's been in the press for various reasons, too. There's blight, but new businesses keep popping up. Shootings happen on occasion. Monthly there's a market. And on. But what you might not know is that starting this Friday night, April 1st, a veritable Freret extravaganza is set to unfold over 24 hours of relatively epic proportions. No, this isn't some sort of April Fool's prank. It's all a part of the engine that has been pushing this "little corridor that could" from relative obscurity to well, to quote Beck, "where it's at." And it starts with a delightful evening of (wait for it) – - – boxing. Continue reading »

Mobile Police Say People Often Leave Guns In Hotel Rooms
AAALess common is that the guns belong to a police officer.
The weapons were discovered by a housekeeper at a Hilton Garden Inn property near the airport on Sunday, Fox 10 TV reports.
Mobile Police were called to the hotel and identified the weapons as a department-issued Glock and a .44 Magnum.
"They found something suspicious," Officer Christopher Levy tells the TV station. "It's pretty common for us to get calls from hotels about people leaving guns inside of them."
The guns are now in police custody. The officer was not identified, but was reportedly back on duty after the incident.
"We're really glad that this particular housekeeping group was very honest. We were glad that they called us, that they located the gun. Otherwise, this gun could have ended up on the streets. So we're really happy that they caught it," Levy says.
He adds citizens and officers alike should keep track of their firearms.
"But mistakes happen, sometimes people leave things behind and that's probably what happened here," Levy says.
An investigation into the incident is underway.

« Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers Discussing Deal | Main | Rockies Designate Ramon Hernandez, Will Harris »
Justin Verlander Signing Reactions
Justin Verlander agreed on Friday to a new $180MM contract with the Tigers that makes him the highest-paid pitcher in the history of the game. Here are some reactions to his new deal.
- With Verlander, Buster Posey and Adam Wainwright all agreeing to extensions with their teams this week, "the age of teams retaining their stars is upon us," MLB.com's Matthew Leach writes. Leach points out that Felix Hernandez, Joey Votto, Cole Hamels, Evan Longoria and Matt Kemp all also fairly recently agreed to huge contracts with their current teams. More money through new TV contracts is partially fueling this trend. "And it becomes somewhat cyclical," Leach writes. "As fewer stars hit free agency, clubs have fewer places to spend that money. So they spend it on their own players, and the cycle continues."
- The string of enormous contracts for players like Verlander should be approached with skepticism, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports argues. "These $100 million contracts are the price of doing business, no doubt," says Rosenthal. "Whether they qualify as good business is another question entirely." Rosenthal points out that big-money contracts for players like Joe Mauer and Johan Santana have gone sour, and says that while contracts like Verlander's may be exciting when they're announced, they might not seem like such great ideas a few years after the fact.
- The size of Verlander's contract likely makes it impossible for the Rays to keep David Price, ESPN's Buster Olney tweets. An extension for Price would mean yearly salaries that would require an enormous percentage of Tampa Bay's payroll.
- Fellow Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer says that any time he eats dinner with Verlander this year, Verlander is paying for it, MLive.com's Chris Iott reports. "I got a nice little contract this year, but no, he's buying every single dinner this year." Scherzer can afford to buy his own dinner, of course -- he's scheduled to make $6.725MM in 2013.

It contains only coconut milk, it is organic and BPA free! I prefer the full fat coconut milk, so I get all the beneficial medium chain triglycerides. My dairy free coconut ice cream is a hit!

I liked the coconut milk in original density from this same company and if you need a bit more liquidy one - buy the Light version. I love to use a sip of it into my cup of tasty morning coffee, the day starts much happier with cocnut scent and even more, it gives some whiter shade for my coffe. So if you are not tolerating dairy products, but love whiter coffe, this is the perfect product for a change!

The FOX 31 News Team covers Southwest Georgia 24/7
ALBANY, GA -- First Update (8/16 3:45 p.m/)Valdosta fire investigators say that pH levels have returned to a safe level and were able to get into the site around 2:30 p.m. Valdosta Fire Department, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials can now investigate the site of the initial accident. They say that it was not a large delay because they were able to work on other investigation preparations. Officials stress that it will still be several days before initial information is available on the incident.Initial Story Valdosta fire investigators say the pH levels found in standing water of the Perma-fix plant are still too high to start their investigation. Battalion Chief Ralph Catlett tells FOX 31 that the chemical levels in some of the water haven't receded as quick as they would have liked and that some are still register between one and four. "One is the worst," Catlett says "and they have to be above a four in order for us to get in there." The higher levels are being found below the surface of the standing water. Authorities hope the levels will come down enough later this afternoon in order to get into the building that caught fire Wednesday afternoon to find a cause.

Italian firms mull Bahrain investment
Manama, October 21, 2013
Italian companies are exploring trade and investment opportunities in Bahrain, thanks to its diversified and free economy, flexible policies and its high rankings on international competitiveness indices.
The Economic Development Board (EDB) yesterday hosted an Italian delegation representing engineering and industrial sectors and arranged for business meetings with their Bahraini counterparts.
The delegation represented small and medium enterprises in the services sector, including construction, engineering, food, chemicals, plastics, textile, clothing, transportation, paper and computers industries.
Key characteristics of the investment environment in Bahrain as well as its strong competitive advantages were highlighted in a presentation by the EDB.
The presentation highlighted the kingdom's key advantages, its diversified and free economy, flexible policies and its high rankings on international competitiveness indices in comparison to the regional economies.
Such meetings, the EDB said, would allow the kingdom's private sector to explore opportunities of mutual interest and discuss investment prospects between the two parties, with the aim of enhancing trade and economic relations and creating employment opportunities for Bahraini citizens.
The EDB also arranged for the Italian delegation to meet Works Ministry officials as well as other officials from the Electricity and Water Authority.-TradeArabia News Service

The Destination Natural beauty abounds no matter where you are in Guanacaste—often called Costa Rica's "Gold Coast"—but this mountain paradise at the north base of Rincón de la Vieja volcano truly glitters. Here, tropical birds sing and sunlight filters through the canopy to signal the dawn in the jungle. Roaring waterfalls, the volcanic Blue River, and steaming green hot springs quench travelers' thirst for soothing—and visually stunning—experiences. The Digs A four-star oasis in the jungle, Blue River Resort & Hot Springs offers comfort and class in an authentically Costa Rican setting. The resort's bright green mineral pools and botanical gardens will catch your eye first, but your cabana's modern amenities—think Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and air conditioning—will prove equally impressive. Of course, eco-chic cabanas also boast terraces with swaying hammocks and views of the lush property. Whether you're strolling through the butterfly and hummingbird gardens or shooting down the "bullet slide" into the swimming pool, you'll find a harmonious balance of luxury living and respect for nature. The Diversions At Blue River, every day is the best day yet. The resort offers guided eco-adventure tours: Ride by jeep or horseback along blue volcanic rivers, hike around the Rincón de la Vieja volcano, or snorkel through teeming mangrove forests. Ziplining is the ideal way to explore the jungle canopy, while the Blue River affords some of the best tubing and whitewater rafting in Costa Rica. You can make the short drive to Liberia—Guanacaste's bustling hub—and tour the centuries-old Iglesia Immaculada Concepción de María and Iglesia de la Ermita de la Resurección. Back at the resort, sink into a state of serenity with a massage or mud bath at the Blue River Spa.

The Destination Cast between the warm Caribbean Sea and the cool Pacific Ocean, Costa Rica is a place of balance. Long considered an adventurer's paradise, this Central American country boasts expansive jungles where adrenaline runs high: Hike through a nature preserve to see exotic animals, zip on a line high above the canopy, or race down rapids crashing at every turn. And when your nerves could use some rest, the other end of the spectrum—relaxation—awaits on white sand beaches beneath the palms. The Digs Enveloped by botanical gardens, Vista del Valle Plantation Inn is an eco-friendly property located on an abundance of fragrant acres. A short walk from the resort's swimming pool, cliff-side restaurant, and equestrian center, Exotic Wood Suites feature queen-size beds with balcony views of the canyon of the Rio Grande. In the morning, lounge on the twin-size futon to listen to the birds before stepping into the shared kitchen to pour a cup of coffee. Later, dive into the property's private waterfall or take to the hiking trails to observe curious animals on the paths.

Not everything that could go right went right in Vancouver. It just felt that way, by the end of it. Not everything that could go wrong went wrong in London. And yet ... 277 Canadian athletes, one gold medal. That's why the 2012 Summer Olympics may be remembered, by followers of Canadian medal fortunes, as the hangover Games. Or the heartbreak Games. The mourning, two years after the night before.
Here's an eventful night: a showbiz penalty, three posts struck, a goal scored from behind the red line and one more into an empty net en route to your team's 3-1 come-from-behind victory.

Hey everyone!

My youngest just started kindergarten so I'm hoping to get back to blogging, it was something I enjoyed so much and I have missed it!

MSI GeForce GTX 680 Lightning review -
Product Showcase
Very visible is the blue round GPU reactor. The GPU reactor functions as a power supply module which, when installed on the back of the GPU, it increases current volume by 88%, reduces power supply noise by 13%, and should improve overall overclocking stability. It is actually an add-on board which you may remove. Let's do just that.
You can remove the plastic cap and then see a small PCB. That's actually removable as well:
The PCb itself hosts a battery of tantalum capacitors that are used to filter and stabilize GPU voltage much like the NEC/Tokin Proadlizer film capacitors we all know. Be careful when you plug it back in.
Once powered on the Reactor module also features a few blue LEDs onboard, so when it is installed with the GPU Reactor cap in place, it has a nice blue glow emanating from it. The GPU Reactor can be removed completely if needed or preferred.

This is strongly recommended for severe infestations. • IMPORTANT: make sure you launder items in HOT water. Cold water will not kill the bugs or their eggs. • Clean clothes can be sanitized by placing them in the dryer on high for 20 minutes. Beds: • Bed should be bare when the technician arrives. All bedding, slip covers, pillow cases, etc. must be removed prior to the tech arriving. Soiled clothing, blankets, comforters and pillow cases, etc. should be washed in hot water (separate from all other laundry) or dry cleaned by the client, before or soon after the treatment to avoid the resurgence of Bed Bugs.

I am building a new 2009 wolfridge and wanted to know what wheels y'all are using for the 12mm Maxle.
Also what front deraileur (top swing), thinking SLX cranks with the 36-22 double.
Considering Sektor 150mm solo-air?
Any inputs and other suggestions. Thnx

Christmas presents for my sisters-in-law! I actually bought a Simplicity pattern for these, but realized how awful it was after cutting them out. I added cuffs to the legs, satin trim in the seams, and a pocket, along with a drawstring and elastic. Amazingly they fit really really well (working with no measurements or sizes at all!)
The yellow pair needed to be lengthened because she's taller, so I did the cuffs a bit differently. I also tried out some flat felled seams on the outer leg seams! They're fun :) The pics were taken before elastic…
