Prairie Fare: Enjoy seasonal beverages in moderation
"The mocha frappe sounds interesting," my 15-year-old daughter said as we stood at the restaurant counter. She went to find a booth.
Prairie Fare: Go nutty for nuts this holiday season
Through the years, I have eaten my share of pecans and pistachios. Peanuts, which are known as "ground nuts" in other countries, are a welcome snack, too. Did you know that peanuts are in the legume (or bean) family?
Prairie Fare:
Do you know someone with diabetes? Pause a few seconds and think of those around you. Maybe one or more of your relatives or friends have the disease. Maybe you have it, or maybe you don't know you have it.
Prairie Fare: One lick of batter could make you sick
While in college, I had a friend who preferred raw cookie dough to baked cookies. Once in a while, she'd make a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough and keep it in the refrigerator as a snack.
Prairie Fare: Food-grade containers must meet higher standards
In my role as a food and nutrition specialist, I often field questions from Extension agents as well as other professionals and consumers. These are a few questions that I have answered lately and through the years:
Prairie Fare: Grain-like quinoa high in fiber, protein
While at a nutrition conference, I tasted a delicious salad made with a grain-like food called quinoa (pronounced "keen-wah") mixed with fresh vegetables.
Prairie Fare: Consider these fresh-squeezed facts about juice
Sometimes when I select juice at the grocery store, I want to say; "Will the real juice please step to the front of the shelf?" That would save me some time reading the fine print on the beverage labels.
Prairie Fare: Spilling the beans about snap beans
Most of us remember the story of "Jack and Beanstalk." You may recall that Jack traded his widowed mother's cow for some magic beans. Jack planted the magic beans, which grew into a giant beanstalk overnight.
Prairie Fare: Grow a taste for heart-healthy avocado
"Let's grow the avocado seed into a plant," my 15-year-old daughter said one day as we prepared an avocado. We have tried this before without success, but sometimes persistence pays off.
Prairie Fare: Gardening promotes health, connections
The other day, my 15-year-old daughter and I were pruning some decades-old geranium plants. The ancestors of these plants belonged to her great-grandmother, who died before World War II. Although I never knew my grandmother, I feel I have a connection to her through these plants.
Does eating comfort food reduce stress?
"I hadn't heard of 'hot dish' until I moved here! We called it casserole," one of the college students remarked.
Pasta an economical, easy meal base
Boil. Drain. Serve. Even after a long day, most of us can manage the cooking directions for pasta.
Try to moderate salt intake in your diet
"If I don't get a glass of water, will I survive until morning?" I asked myself sleepily. Despite being incredibly thirsty, I took my chances. Besides, I was too tired to crawl out of a warm bed at 2:30 a.m.

How could fresh basil not make me smile? |
The following is my basic pesto recipe. I even made a batch just now so I could use exact measurements. This is RARE for me. I'm a pincher, pourer and tosser.
4 cups of fresh rinsed basil
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 head of garlic, peeled
1/4 tsp salt
Rinse off the basil and pick off any large stalky stems. Some stems won't be a problem. I use a 3 cup Kitchen Aid food chopper, pack the leaves in, and pulse a few times to make room before adding the olive oil. After that is well processed, I add the pine nuts, parm, garlic and salt. There is no need to pre-chop the garlic as your food processor will handle it just fine. Once everything is well chopped and blended, it's ready!

there is a discrepancy in one of the answers provided in the Answer Key of Paper- II of SSC Combined Graduate Level (Tier II) exam conducted on 16-09-2012. It is given that the answer for question no 102 in the TEST FORM NO.: 013RK6 is (A) whereas it should be (B) as the question states that we have to choose correct alternative for underlined part . In the question 102 "Socrates had many disciples and the most great of them was Plato." the options were (A) the greatest
(B) greatest
(C) the greater
(D) No improvement
as it is evident that "the" is already present in the statement the underlined part should be replaced by option (B) and not option(A) as shown in the answer key


text: Back to index of Nerve 12 - Summer 2008 Born Again: Britain As RefugeVal Walsh interviewed Sheria who came to Liverpool with her husband and young daughter after fleeing their own country, Iran. They applied for asylum and arrived in Liverpool in September 2002.Early impressions and experiencesAsked about the circumstances behind her move to the UK, Sheria spoke of 'a horrible time in my country. We got problems, especially women.' I asked what it was like at the beginning: I came from a scary country and didn't know anything about freedom. So at the beginning, I was scared of everything. On arrival, Sheria spoke no English, which contributed to an initial sense of isolation. As asylum seekers their financial situation was difficult, because they could not seek employment. Stress was a big factor, compounded by the difficulty of going out of their home and mixing with people in the community. This has been a slow process. Although she knows she can go out and meet people, there remains an inhibition: 'You're shy, this is your feeling, that you can't'. Being able to share these feelings with others on the allotment, especially other asylum seekers, has helped. Her daughter is at school in Liverpool, where 'everything is nice for them'; it helps that 'at school young children fit in', and quickly learn to speak English very well. Her children (a young son was born here) do not want to return to their country: 'They have seen horrible things on TV about it'. For Sheria, communicating adequately with teachers remains a problem: 'You can't say everything you want to say'. Although an interpreter is available for speaking to a lawyer, there is no such help for talking to teachers at their children's school. Sheria has attended college to improve her English and begin the process of acquiring education and qualifications. She finds it enjoyable and rewarding to be among different students in a mixed group. Sheria says she now has 'very nice feelings', 'am very relaxed': I say born again – just miss family, that's a problem. Because I am relaxed here, I can't think about my people. She added, 'I do feel safe now'. I asked her if she had felt welcome in Liverpool when she arrived, and she replied, 'Yes, everyone was very nice, all the adults very nice. Some teenagers were a problem.' The allotment experienceSheria thought the allotment project was 'a very nice opportunity' when they joined two years ago, and spoke of the difference it can make to the 'closed lives' of asylum seekers. Coming to the allotment was the chance to talk to people outside the family, and Sheria again referred to the problem of making contact: 'You can't contact people, you are very shy'. The allotment is a much appreciated, very sociable environment. 'You get peace here', she said. 'Even in winter. Every season is beautiful, so quiet'. People swop plants and information; there is precious social interaction. The afternoon of our meeting it was sunny and aromatic; soothing and friendly. The allotment is also an international community, with people from different countries and cultures, in addition to Liverpool English. When they have barbecues they bring and share food. If you have a problem, you can speak about it with the manager of the project. Sheria and her family come to the allotment more in summer, of course, but in winter they still come every week. Because asylum seekers can't go out to work, she pointed out how important it is in helping you keep your body healthy. I wondered whether she had ever grown food before. Sheria said that as a child she saw her father cultivate the land, growing wheat. This was before the government confiscated land and 'nice homes', and passed them to rich people. So this allotment experience brings back those good memories of growing food, as well as memories of that painful loss. Reviewing the experience of the allotment, Sheria was expansive: 'Everyone is good to you in England'; 'it's a very nice life for me and my family'. Everything makes you very thankful. Sometimes I want to write a letter to the Queen. . . who do I have to say thank you to? We laughed. I said, 'I have to tell you, the Queen is not responsible for this project! It is local people who have set this up.' Given her experience and memories of people behaving badly towards each other, I wondered whether the allotment project acted as a kind of healing process. 'It is very helpful to everybody', she replied. I was interested in the possibility that the allotment experience, involving nature, cultivation and social interaction which is not competitive or harsh, could help prevent a life being permanently ruined by those bad memories, those losses: that life after loss can be good, even in exile. Our conversation so far seemed to suggest this. Sheria added: 'You can open your minds together'. And: 'You can speak about the problem in your country to each other – all the world has a problem'. It sounded as if Sheria felt part of a community on the allotment, if not yet in the wider society. She agreed, and when I asked if she feels she belongs, she said, 'Yeh, I would miss the allotment. This community is like a family'. Risks and opportunities for women: the key to health and wellbeingI returned the conversation to the question of the situation of women and children in Iran. Sheria told me: 'They have a very hard time, they haven't any democracy in my country. It is a very hard life for the women especially.' There is clearly a problem in even discussing the situation, and she has got into trouble before for doing this, because it is seen as an attack on her religion. She insists the is problem is not with the religion: 'Another country with the same religion has a very nice democracy, and is free'. In contrast, 'it is very closed in my country'. I asked for more detail: Was she referring to access to education? Unchaperoned movement on the streets? Dress codes? Being controlled by men and/or government? There is access to education, she said. 'You are free to go, there is no rule against it', but 'really you can't go safely out on the street'. 'Women are controlled by the government'; 'you are scared to go out of your home, so you prefer to stay at home'. If you go out shopping, you might be stopped by the police and accused: 'Why your hair come out?' (See Azar Nafisi [2004] for more detailed discussion of the significance of women's visible hair, even a strand, on the streets of Iran; the relentless scrutiny and surveillance women are subject to; and the far-reaching consequences for them: their minds, their hearts, their lives and bodies.) Sheria referred to the fact that a girlfriend or boyfriend risks receiving eight lashes. (A woman must not be alone with a man who is not her father, brother, son or uncle.) When the government speaks to the world, she said, it declares that it is easy for women to have an education, but 'really, you can't'. 'Men count more than any woman.' Here in the UK, she feels 'very comfortable, very free'. 'This is a very, very big change, to come to a free country.' When Sheria was first in the UK, she did not know that, as a woman she could have a lawyer to represent her, just like a man. 'You are the same as a man. I'm important'. Yes, I said: Your life is valued; your opinions matter; and people will listen to what you say. This has been the area of greatest social and cultural change in the UK over the last 100 years, and especially the last 50. I added that I was oversimplifying, as in the UK women's equal status and value remain unfinished business. Obstacles to women being taken seriously as human beings in their own right still exist, but that is our aspiration. The law cannot do everything, but it is important to have it there. We finished our conversation with Sheria speaking about her hopes for the future: that her children will get good jobs and make a contribution; that they will be able to help their adopted country. I commented that it was a great advantage that her children mixed with children from many different backgrounds, countries, cultures; that this familiarity would help prevent them seeing people different from themselves as inferior and/or frightening. I asked finally, how it had been for Sheria and her husband as a couple, coming into such a different society. 'He's ok' she responded. 'Even more than me, he's very changed, happy, healthier'. Sheria's message for NERVE readers was 'just to say thank you to all people, from me and my children, to all the teachers, to everyone in Liverpool for all their support'. Sheria started off her life in Liverpool 'scared of everything'. Her time here has allowed her to become hopeful about life again, and now she has aspirations: I hope I'm going to be the kind of person who is useful to their city or country; to be able to help somebody. If you don't do anything, you can't feel you are alive. Sorry Comments ClosedComment on this article: |

There's a new joint in town that's right up my alley. I went in to try the food at Tres Carnes , and loved it. If you've seen any of my food writing, you may have noticed that as The Improvising Chef , my goal – yes, my tagline – is "Making Healthy Food Tasty." Trés Carnes, a new place on the southeast corner of 22nd st and 6th Ave in NYC, does exactly that. The First Impression Although Trés Carnes appears similar to the Chipotle Restaurant chain in concept – both are customer-driven steam-table operations – the difference is that Trés Carnes' smoked meat is totally amazing. Crazy tasty! Like Chipotle, the options include burritos, wraps and bowls as delivery modes. The principal sides are also rice and beans, uniquely and distinctively seasoned with a Trés Carnes identity. The decor is Nuevo Southwest hip, with windows that open to counter height bringing an al fresco ambience to the decor, with southwestern wrought-iron and Western lettering. There are some items of Mexican street vendor variety available as fillings:
Tres Carnes Menu As a chronically veggie-maximizing foodhist wacko, my preference is always to see more vegetables of greater variety on any menu. If there were smoked eggplant, or some kind of habanero mango coleslaw, or stuffed jalapenos, I'd add em in a heartbeat. It would be nice to see piles of shredded lettuce, jicama with lime, or shredded raw cabbage available to increase the micronutrient composition, fiber and water content of the wrap, burrito or bowl… maybe co-owner Sasha Shor (who I had the pleasure to meet when I was there) will hear my plea and add some more veggies to the offerings…:) To those who want to eat healthy, but don't want to abandon great taste, Trés Carnes is a fantastic option. There's something primal and satisfying about the taste of slow smoke cooking… and their smoker is on premises, right in view as you order. Satisfying the craving for genuine barbecue (which is smoke cooking - not backyard grilling) in New York usually means a trip to Daisy May's, Virgil's, Brother Jimmy's, Hill Country, Smoke, Sylvia's, Dinosaur or some other favorite location and a commitment to fifteen hundred calories of hog fat, brown sugar and molasses. At Trés Carnes, the aficionado can have that experience in the context of a healthy, relatively light meal. Off the Wall at Tres Carnes More veggies please! But gimme that hog! The brisket is killing too. Go! And leave a comment! Love to hear from you! Tres Carnes Staff in Action The post How's the food at Tres Carnes? appeared first on Jon Burr's Blog . |

The Refinery - Tampa
Online Reservations
New local farm to table menu changes every Thursday. Reasonable prices. Fun atmosphere. VERY creative menu. We had a party of seven, one person sent back fish for more cooking. Chef came out personally and was low key and very concerned. Made sure customer was happy and satisfied without over apologizing. That to me is the sign of a good restaurant. I understand why they keep so busy.
The Refinery was a great find. Food was beyond excellent. Atmosphere was very laid back and nice, sat on the rooftop and enjoyed some craft beers with an excellent hangar steak, and the girlfriend got the pork chop. Both extremely satisfied. Will return!
The food is amazing. The service is great. My son is a chef and he whimpered when he was tasting the food. It was wonderful AND unique. It gets very loud though
We arrived a half an hour early but they sat us right away. Our server Alex was knowledgeable and attentive. The menu for the week was fantastic as usual. I had the fresh catch and my date had stuffed asparagus with a nice white wine. If you haven't been yet, make a reservation and go.....
Kendal (and I am certain I am misspelling her name) was the best server we have had in many a moon. She was informative, friendly and on the money.
Overall, I find the Refinery a real gem in the Tampa scene. The location and ambience are fun, the food interesting.
This was our first time at this restaurant. Many friends had suggested to try this in the past, but when I looked at the menu nothing really caught my attention. I decided to finally try this restaurant without looking the menu in advanced, and I was impressed by everything. The place is different but nice, the Food was outstanding, the services was great. I definitely will be back to this restaurant SOON, and I totally recommend this restaurant.
What great find in Seminole Heights, a eclectic Tampa neighborhood. Locally sourced farm to table menu. Great chef. Small dining space big on charm.
Great restaurant for those that like local gems. The meal was wonderful and knowing all ingredients were grown or raised locally made it even better. I would definitely eat there again!
The title pretty much says it all. The food was delicious, couldn't have asked for anything better. Would highly recommend for a foodie or someone who wants to try something different and exciting. Will be going back myself!
I've been to The Refinery twice and both times for brunch. I just can't say enough great things about the food! The menu choices are creative and very different from other restaurants. The food is just amazing and I will continue to come back.
I visited the place once like a year ago but did not like the food. I came back to celebrate my best's friend birthday and I'm so happy because we had a great time and we all loved the food, the waiters were very nice. We will be back and I will recommend the restaurant to my friends.
It is always a treat to go to the Refinery. Everything is a surprise for the senses - except the creativity, great quality, and friendly service.
On this Sunday we were looking for a place that kinda fits us. Alittle 'off center', friendly, good food that didn't blow up our budget. You know the kind of place. Comfortable, even though you don't frequent the place. Boy, did we find one here! If we lived in Tampa we would be regulars to The Refinery, but we don't. Our entrees hit the mark but the hit was the 3rd entree that we were intrigued with. White beans, house made mozzarella, and 2 perfectly truffle poached eggs. Yes, the place was so warm and inviting we felt the need to try it and wasn't disappointed at all! Go, Go, Go to The Refinery!
Myself and my dining companion decided to have dinner at the Refinery on a Monday evening. Our server was vibrant and funny, the food was prepared surprisingly fast, our meals were delicious and dessert was so tasty that it was almost criminal. A small place with a lot of great flavors and a reasonable wine and beer list. We have every intention of going back, and soon.
amazingly unique food, seeing everything being prepared in front of me, great, friendly service all night long, welcoming and romantic for two
After reading several reviews of The Refinery and reviewing different menus online, our expectations were high. Although my spouse is not very adventurous when it comes to food, she really enjoyed the sunflower. The varied preparations of the sunflower provided a full spectrum of flavors and textures that make a great appetizer. The rest of the meal continued to showcase wonderful ingredients prepared with great skill and a great mind towards food. Our expectations have been exceeded.
The waiter was awesome! (I think his name was Peter). We had 4 in our party. Everyone's meals were scrumptious- especially the hamburger with peanut butter and cantalope. I ordered the beef shank. I think I had 2 good bites, the rest were loaded with fat. I had to spit them out into my napkin. Maybe some people eat and enjoy fat, not sure, but I'm not one of them. We'll be back though, I just won't order that again!
Took my wife and her friend from out of town on Saturday night. Everything was delicious. I had the beef shank which delcious. Wifes friend ordered the burger, with peanut butter, slab bacon, cantelope...even though she ordered it well done, I took a bite(then and was amazed at the flavors. The PB really set off the burger and i was skeptical before i tried it, but it was one of the best things ive eaten.
My husband and I went with some friends to try the new brunch menu on its first day and they hit it out of the park! I wanted to order every single item on the menu and will be coming back quite frequently. We eat at the Refinery all the time and I can't think of a time when I've had a bad meal, but this was really exceptional.
Our dinner was unique, creative and so delicious! The atmosphere was intimate but fun, and our food was just amazing! My husband had the burger, and its not to be missed ... peanut butter and cantaloupe! Who knew how great that would be! Thanks for a great evening!
I was in Tampa on business and decided to try one of the local restaurants. Decided on The Refinery based on the reviews on OpenTable and I was not disappointed! The food and service were both excellent and I will definitely visit them again when my travels take me back to Tampa! I loved the laid back atmosphere and my server Kyndal was awesome!
Had the burger this time it was great ( I know the list of ingredients can be a little overwhelming.. But do not change this burger ! ). I have never been disappointed at this restaurant.
I've been to this restaurant several times and I've never had a bad experience. This is so one of those little places that you want to go to you and as soon as you make the reservation you know your night going to be good. the pork has a unparalleled earthy flavor, the rangoons were just delicious. the front of the house service is amazing as well. I never had to ask for an extra napkin or refill my drink it just was there.
My husband and I have been here for dinner a few times and we are always very impressed. It's hard to say you should eat this or try that because the menu is never the same. I heard that in the entire time they have been open they have never repeated a dish, I am not sure if that is true but I have never seen the same dish twice. Our server was so gracious and extremely knowledgable. We were there during their "happy hour" which allows for $1 off of wine by the glass and draft beer, also $5 mini plates. The $5 mini plates were a great surprise. We were able to sample smaller portions of their small plates; all of which were incredible. We shared everything from the mini plates to dessert and I can not honestly say what I liked the best!
Great upstairs dining! Server's were very knowledgeable. Excellent menu choices. We had good wine selections. The entire experience was wonderful. Since we were there early, we had our choice of inside or outside tables. Although my reservation was for inside , we were able to sit upstairs. Althought the road noise was heavy at that hour, it was still pleasant sitting outside.
Really creative and delicious----innovative cuisine in an unexpected location.
Best food and dining experience ever. Chef Baker's creativity never ceases to amaze. Ok
We choose The Refinery to celebrate our 25th anniversary because it was listed as one of the top 50 restaurants in the Tampa Bay area. When we went to their Web site, we liked that the menu changes weekly and local produce and farmers are use. The Refinery definitely lived up to its reputation. The food was fabulous. We shared an appetizer of Pork Rangoon, my husband had Hangar Steak and I had the daily fish. The server was attentive and friendly. All in all, we had a very enjoyable evening and will patronize The Refinery again. I have already recommended it to several friends and co-workers.
my husband and i were guests at the refinery last friday night. i could not wait to go back!! the food and ambience were absolutely perfect. i could eat there everyday!!
dont live in the hood but i travel far and wide to dine-in. with food restrictions even i can get a good meal here. staff is glad to accommodate when they can. it feels like coming home in a good way.
my recent meal was delicious and as always, thoughtfully prepared, with an emphasis on local ingredients with an inventive twist. we're fortunate to have such a great restaurant that has gained national attention in our 'hood. thanks for the visit to our table, Chef!
Went with a couple foodie friends and sat on the rooftop patio on a beautiful Saturday night. The service was excellent and personable, and our food was fantastic. Might have been the best meals we've had at The Refinery. Barracuda with some root vegetables and a terrific pesto; braised pork shoulder with a cheesy risotto; a great lamb belly with pumpkin skordalia. The avocado small plate was a miss, but everything else was top-notch.
The pesto on the "french bread" was a pleasant surprise. Chicken livers were delicious, varied in texture, and I will have them again. The experience worth the drive from Clearwater.
Presentation of food and the taste experience was outstanding. One of the best pork and vegetable combo's I've had. we will definitely be back!
The Refinery is one of the best restaurants in Tampa. The food is amazing and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend The Refinery to anyone and everyone.
The Refinery is a welcome find in Tampa. Very casual atmosphere with a short menu. All the choices are very interesting and the food is very sophisticated.
Husband and I tried it out for the first time Friday night. Did the upstairs scene. FOOD WAS TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!!!! Service was excellent. The only two things we had a difficult time with were the seating and smoking. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable. They also allow smoking upstairs (it is outdoors) but the table/chairs are so close together that as we were eating, we are inhaling our neighbors smoke. It was really gross. Other then that, great food great price, will return, but to try downstairs.
Great food across the board. The small plates are actually small. But, the dinner portions are healthy! Enjoy
While looking for a restaurant near the USF, I came across The Refinery. Based on what I read, it sounded just like the kind of restaurant I enjoy back home. Their food was freshly made using local ingredients, it was an excellent proportion for brunch, the price was very reasonable (less than $100 for 5 people), and the menu items were extremely creative! The icing on the cake was an excellent waitress who was knowledgable, articulate, and delightful! Look no further for a gem of a restaurant, that will definitely be on my list of things to do when I'm back in Tampa! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!
The Refinery maintains a perfect blend of outstanding, unique food with a casual relaxed atmosphere that makes for a perfect evening (or Sunday morning) out. The creativity of Chef Greg shines in dish after dish. The execution of the meal is always flawless and the overall experience of the meal makes The Refinery stand head-and-shoulders above every other restaurant in Tampa. Truly an inspiration.
The Refinery never disappoints! The creative use of fresh ingredients produces beautiful and delicious plates. You can tell the Chef and his staff care about the product they put out and you get to experience the passion they put in to each dish. I look forward to seeing what they have come up with on the new dinner menu each Thursday and the seasonal Brunch menu every quarter. I am so very proud to have this top notch restaurant in my neighborhood.
Fresh, seasonal, interesting menu. Be willing to try something you think is out of your comfort zone - you might just be surprised (I have, and really enjoyed the experience). Knowledge and pleasant staff. Service has been great each time I've been here. Nice relaxed atmosphere.
I have been wanting to try The Refinery out for some time and finally got the chance when my mother came to town. She and I always like to try out new and different dining experiences. We were both very happy with our experience at The Refinery. The service was wonderful, timely, well informed, and attentive. The wine was great and the food was excellent. We both enjoyed ourselves very much, and look forward to more time spent there. We didn't get a chance to eat at the rooftop deck, but look forward to that next time.
Our party of four enjoyed an excellent evening at The Refinery. The menu is eclectic but the food extremely top-notch in terms of value, quality, preparation and presentation. Our server was excellent -- very personable and attentive -- but could have used a bit more knowledge when responding to our questions about the wine list and local beer options. The only draw-back was the noise level in the dining room (unfortunately, the roof-top dining area was full) -- it was extremely difficult to carry on a conversation within our party and it was almost impossible to understand the server. Overall, our experience was very positive and we will definitely be back. The Refinery earns its rave reviews!
The Refinery has become my wife's & I favorite restaurant. We have eaten there three times in two months. Even though my wife always orders the "Hanger Steak", it is always prepared differently. The apps are a perfect match to your meal. Every time we have been, we have enjoyed the variety of the dishes & will continue to come back. If you skip having dessert your insane!
As always, a fantastic and creative menu. First time I have tried the Sunday brunch. I will definitely enjoy that again in the future!
Our outing was a birthday celebration. We were welcomed to bring a homemade cake when asked. The service was extra special. Our waiter Eric M. was very attentive and very knowledge about the menu. We did not dine upstairs on the outside patio but I did peek at it. It looks like a great place to dine! Will definitely try it in the future! The menu was interesting. Would have liked a few more selections but everyone was happy with their selections. Over all a lovely dining experience.
We had another fab dining experience. Food and service were on point. Our favorite restaurant never disappoints. Thanks all!
After hearing about this place for some time, we finally made reservations and went to the Refinery. Glad we-had reservations as it's a small dining room. Very good service, good food and interesting southern meets gourmet meets neighborhood feel. We will return!

Strategy software: Strategic management & planning
The vast majority of strategic initiatives fail. Why is this? Because the strategic plan is generally too wordy, un-pictorial, static and it becomes rapidly out of date. As a result it is not engaging but more importantly, it is not in the hands of those who need it the most – your people! Take a moment to view this short video to get a better understanding of what our strategy software can accomplish for your strategic plan.
Fundamentally change the way you engage with strategy
Make it come alive for every member of your team. We believe to execute effectively and efficiently the strategic plan needs to be:
- Clearly communicated
- Dynamic, evolving with the constantly changing market conditions.
- Connected to people, by putting it in the hands of everyone in your organisation.
- Its progress and value needs to be monitored and measured.
Strategic management by nature needs to be dynamic
As responsibility for specific aspects of strategic execution are delegated down through the layers of the organisation, it becomes more detailed. In this way the high-level vision and goals become richer and develop over time, with the content and ideas being driven by those in the organisation with expertise in specific operational functions and roles.
Strategy should be connected to people
This is achieved by communicating strategic goals visually and by encouraging the involvement of individual's within the organisation. This ensures that their performance and work practises are directly linked and aligned to your organisations vision. Monitor and measure:
- How fast are we progressing?
- Are our key performance indicators reflecting our expected outputs?
- Are our strategies driving the financial value that we hoped they would?
Now strategy is defined as a graphical framework of strategic thinking from the macro down through to the micro. In addition, key indicators are identified to monitor strategic outcomes. To gain a complete understanding of strategy we need to draw together the unstructured content of our strategy map- the actions, with those structured measures - the outcomes.
Strategyblocks is a patented web-based software service, therefore there is no concern about software upgrades, maintenance, technical administration, installations, backup and recovery.
Strategy blocks was created to address the problems that many companies face when attempting to communicate great ideas across an organisation. Its aim is to help companies innovate and be more successful by eliminating confusion and create organisation clarity. We combine ideas, people, and information in an engaging way to build strong communication channels between employees and partners.

Hydropower Production Strategies: Impacts on Emissions and Windfall ProfitsMaria Kopsakangas-SavolainenFinnish Environment Institute; University of Oulu - Department of Economics; Thule Institute Rauli SventoUniversity of Oulu - Department of Economics January 2013 Abstract: Earlier literature clearly shows potential for, and realized abuses of, market power in deregulated electricity markets. Markets with a significant role of hydropower stations are susceptible to the abuse of market power. In this paper we utilize a long-run oriented Real-Time Price based simulation model to analyze the strategic behavior of hydropower producers in the Nordic electricity market framework. We show through different scenarios how different hydropower production strategies affect total annual energy consumed, prices, and capacity structure. We also show the relation between different strategies and emissions, costs and windfall profits. There seems to be no superior scenario under which all socially desirable goals are achieved as there is a clear tradeoff between allowing high windfall profits with highest cost efficiency and achieving the target for lower emissions.

Pregnant 13 weeks and worried about HIV |
Dear Ask The Doctor: Hello Doctor, I m 27 years old woman. 167, 47 kg ( i losss my weigt about 3 kg for 3 monts ) I have a big problem. I m pregnant in weeks 13 now. My problem is i fell sick all the time. I have really bad nausea and i had really strange symptoms for 2 times when i m vomit its comes red spotting in my breast arround and just disapear fast after few minute. I have sore throat and come litle bit blood when sometimes from i throat i guess. I had really bad diarea and vomiting 3 weeks ago and went to hospital, then i get better now. But i feel still is always something wrong in my stomach. And now i got herpes in my lips, almost getting better after 5 days now. What i m afraid is i got HIV infection, because i just found out 2 weeks ago my bf , father of my babby have really bad habbit. He doing sex with prostitude 5 -7 times a months ( diferent prostitude everytimes ). I m really worried and afraid about HIV or Aids . We went to doctor to do blood test, and we still wait for the answer. What do you say? Do you thing all my sickness and symtomps is because i have HIV positiv? I m really afraid about that, and what to prepare if it is yes. And the most importand for me , how i can live with the baby later ? Will babby get it ? Thank you so much Regard Ies Dear Is: HIV is transmitted when the virus enters the body, usually by injecting infected (needle stick) cells or semen. There are several possible ways in which the virus can enter: the most common, HIV infection is spread by having sex with an infected partner and the virus can enter the body through the lining of the vagina, vulva, penis, rectum, or mouth during sex. HIV frequently spreads among injection-drug users who share needles or syringes that are contaminated with blood from an infected person. Women can transmit HIV to their babies during pregnancy or birth, when infected maternal cells enter the baby's circulation. Many people do not develop symptoms after they first get infected with HIV. Others have a flu-like illness within several days to weeks after the exposure to the virus. They can complain of fever, headache, tiredness, and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck. These symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks. After that, the person feels normal and has no symptoms. This asymptomatic phase often lasts for years. The progression of disease is different among individuals. This state may last from a few months to more than 10 years. Even though the person has no symptoms, he or she is contagious and can pass HIV to others. It is not likely that the symptoms that you described might be due to HIV infection, but, anyway, I strongly recommend that you get tested if you are in doubt or worried, because you were engaged in sexual activity with an individual who have history of high risk sex behaviors in his past. Testing for HIV is a two-step process. First, an inexpensive screening test is done (saliva it is just 20 minutes to get results). If that test is positive, a second test (Western blot) is done to confirm the result. |

It looks like ham radio's political leadership world-wide is preparing for what it collectively sees as the coming digitalization of Amateur Radio. Their first step seems to be the adoption of a new "RSQ Reporting System" for all digital modes operating below 30 MHz. The following was supplied by the Wireless Institute of Australia:
"A new signal reporting method for digital modes is being considered by the International Amateur Radio Union Region 2 Conference next month.
This very busy meeting in Brasilia, Brazil from the 10th to the 14th of September has on its agenda a recommendation that RSQ reporting be used for digital modes below 30MHz.
RSQ stands for Readability, Strength and Quality, and was first proposed and endorsed at the Region 1 General Conference in 2005. It was also agreed at the IARU Region 3 Conference in Bangalore last year.
"This in recognition that the traditional RST, Readability, Strength and Tone signal report that has been around since about 1934, is not suitable for text modes.
"RSQ is favoured because it can provide a more useful signal report for HF digital modes.

The first photo of the baby born on June 15 had appeared on Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner's Twitter account in late August.

Santo Domingo.- GB Group, through its affiliate Gulfstream Petroleum, on Thursday announced the acquisition of Chevron Caribbean's fuels marketing and distributing business, and aviation companies in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and St. Maarten.
The deal includes a network of more than 200 service stations operating under the Texaco brand, distributed in those three island nations as well as terminals and aviation fuel supply operations.
GB Group is the majority stakeholder and operator of companies, and has strategic partners in the Dominican market such as the group Marti PG, group Bermudez M., and the insurance company La Universal.
GB Group is among the Caribbean's leading privately-held industrial groups with offices in Haiti, Dominican Republic and South Florida. It has more than 2,000 employees in its many businesses, affiliations and strategic alliances, which operate in various commercial and industrial sectors.
"This historic day marks an important milestone in the strategic development of our business in the region," said its president, Gilbert Bigio.
Oh oh the xenophobic Haitian Haters on DT will never fly and Airplane again!
The only important point in all this is, "How much in taxes is the DGII going to collect?"!
¡Pa'lante y Manos a la obra!
Danilo es Presidente, Leonel 2016!
firstname.lastname@example.com / firstname.lastname@example.com
Love it.
An Jewish, Italian Family from Haiti is now a major player in the Dominican energy sector. Let the bigotry fly.
"well I will start and state that I never go to a Texaco pump ...they are all so old and dirty and of course the chances are they will cut down all the trees surrounding the petrol station"
That was quick
How's that for some bullshit, huh.
Lemme know, go ahead.
I'm not listening, but go ahead.
In 2004, the Miami Herald reported on Haiti's tiny and wealthy Jewish community and spoke to its de facto leader. Bigio saw no reason why the huge disparity between his own wealth and the poverty of those around him should breed in them any resentment
Bigio is considered extremely wealthy in a country where 50% of the people are illiterate and 76% of children under 5 are underweight or suffer from stunted growth.
"I don't think there's resentment against people who are rich here," says the retired businessman, who speaks English, French and Haitian Creole. "If you know how to manage success, people admire you instead of hate you."
"Being in a city where there's no synagogue, prayers are done at our house, Israel to us is the motherland. It's the rock. It's how we identify ourselves," said Reuven Bigio. His father's support for Israel's mission here was immediate: "His desire to help was unconditional."
While the surrounding residents are forced to literally eat dirt to stave off hunger, Bigio is a billionaire whose family supported the first coup against Aristide and reportedly helped to back the movement that forced his 2nd ouster in 2004
One need not look very far to see where Bigio's interests lie in relation to Cite Soleil. According to his own company's web site his family maintains controlling interests in 16 of Haiti's largest companies.They are also the largest Haitian partner in the wireless communications Digicel, a mammoth company based in Ireland that has nearly cornered the cellular market in the region. Bigio's family is not merely wealthy amidst a sea of poverty stricken residents, his family represents the Über-wealthy who have benefited most since Aristide
Bigio declined to discuss politics or offer a Jewish perspective on the current revolt against Aristide.
"Our principle, which we respect daily, is to not mix in Haitian politics," he explained. "Even after three generations, we are considered foreigners. So we believe that to have good relations with the government, we have to step aside. We take care of business, and let them take care of politics."
You know quite well he is full of BS
Sounds like every multi-generational foreigner I ever met in Haiti.
Also sounds like all native born Dominican moguls in the DR.
Makes a lot of sense.
Would you have them move out and dump Haitians from the pan into the fire?
Get use to it. Rich people who invest money in your country ADD VALUE to your country. Don't much care where it comes from, Chavez' Utopia, Russian Mafia, etc., it's better to have these flows coming into your country than flowing out.
BTW, I'm sure Dominicans have investments in Haiti.
Wow....Such jealousy.
You guys don't like a "Haitian" or "Jewish" company buying Texaco in the D.R.?
The solution is simple.
You guys buy it!
Oh. I forgot. You guys can't.
Because while this family was out busting their asses making money you guys were sucking on Presidents, playing dominoes and listening to bad music at the local colmado.
That's just it! Dominicans chasing a dirigente's caravana waiting for a salami to fall off, and some $$ to buy the Presidente Light jumbo, and no way thinking about to get up at 5am to get a step ahead...
All for the dream "que van a ser pega'o" with the gobierno and that the same gobierno will fix everything for them.
¡Pa'lante y Manos a la obra!
Danilo es Presidente, Leonel 2016!

0.5 % in Haiti - Haiti's Oligarchy - own 98% of Haiti's wealth through monopolies orchestrated and supported by Western policymakers and corporations." - Ezili Dantò of HLLN
"Since Aristide's second ousting in 2004, the financial wealth of the Bigio family along with those of other well off Haitian clans such as the Mevs, Brandts, Acras and Madsens have nearly doubled according to a confidential source at a private accounting firm." (See also Haiti's Billionaire plunderers: Haiti's Enslavement: The Ruling Oligarchy and World Profit-over-People System, Part 1. ;

LOLOL seriously? The Bigios probably passed the 100 million mark 30 years ago. You'd be surprised how many VERY rich people will never appear in Forbes. The Bigios fortune starts with the same letter as their last name, not 'M'.
If any one knows how to reach the Bigios, please see if they might be intrested in purchasing the METRO!

Michigan Football: 4 Things That Should Be on To-Do List vs. San Diego St.
By (Correspondent) on September 19, 2011
852 reads
Leon Halip/Getty Images
In a match-up of Brady Hoke's old team against his new team, the Michigan Wolverines host the San Diego State Aztecs at the Big House this weekend. Here are four things that should be on the to-do list for the Wolverines when the Aztecs come running into Michigan Stadium:
Michigan is currently 3-0 and has one more game on its non-conference schedule.
No. 1: Win the Game
Win the game against San Diego State is the top priority on the Wolverines to-do list.
Leon Halip/Getty Images
The Michigan Wolverines have the opportunity to go undefeated going into its Big Ten schedule. It needs to happen to have a shot at making the Big Ten title game.
Plus, it would only build their confidence and momentum. The Wolverines are still young, but are getting more experienced and playing better every game.
Brady Hoke might have a little extra fire, as he is playing his former team.
The Aztecs are a tough team to beat. If Denard Robinson can be on his game, and the defense can play like they did against Eastern Michigan, fans will be singing "Victors" on Saturday afternoon.
No. 2: Play Defense
The Wolverines defense needs to be playing with confidence going into the Big Ten schedule.
Leon Halip/Getty Images
The Michigan defense has been solid this year. They have made stops and came up with big plays when necessary.
It's all the more important that they hold the Aztecs to low scoring to build their confidence as they head into the Big Ten schedule.
The Wolverines held Eastern Michigan to three points and just 236 yards. The Wolverines' pass defense limited Eastern Michigan to 29 yards. However, their rush defense gave up 207 yards.
They forced two turnovers and played great on third down, giving up four third downs in 12 chances.
San Diego State can put up points on the ground and through the air, and it all starts with the Wolverines rush defense:
- The Aztecs have scored 49, 23, and 42 points respectively in their three games this season.
- They are averaging 220 yards rushing and 207 yards passing.
- They average 6.4 yards a play.
Those are big numbers. The Aztecs are no FCS team. They have a good quarterback in Ryan Lindley, who is accurate, and a good in running back in Ronnie Hillman, who can make you miss.
Hoke knows that. Let's hope Hoke gets the defense fired up and is ready to key on the Aztecs' tendencies so the Wolverines can have their offense on the field longer than the defense.
No. 3: Denard Robinson Must Be on Top of His Game
Denard Robinson has had a great last two games.
Leon Halip/Getty Images
Denard Robinson has had two great games in a row. He brought the Wolverines back to an impressive victory over Notre Dame, and then he ran all over the Eastern Michigan Eagles.
Robinson had 198 yards rushing on 26 carries—a 7.6 yard per carry average—and scored a touchdown.
Robinson went 7-for-18 for 98 yards and two touchdowns passing. He also threw an interception.
A weakness that San Diego State has is they give up a ton of yards to opposing offenses.
- They average 383 total yards per game (5.4 yards per play) to opponents.
- They give up 197 yards rushing and 186 yards passing to opponents.
The Wolverines should be able to have a field day, especially with Robinson taking snaps and running the ball all over the field.
No. 4: Keep the Running Game Involved
The Michigan running backs have played solid this season.
Leon Halip/Getty Images
Unlike last year, the Michigan running backs have created their own running game.
It was pretty much Denard Robinson running last year.
This year, Vincent Smith, Fitzgerald Toussaint and Michael Shaw have all done a great job running the ball.
Last week against Eastern Michigan, the Wolverines ran for 376 yards. Granted, Robinson ran for 198 of it. However, the others did have a solid chunk as well.
Smith ran for 118 yards, and Toussaint ran for 46 yards and a touchdown.
That is Michigan and Big Ten football—pounding the ball.

To try and take away weapons of self-defense from law-abiding citizens only enables those who need defending against in achieving their goals of theft and murder.
It's not the guns...it's the ones who are murderous at heart. Bad things will happen. You cannot guarantee that they won't. But to take away someone's ability to defend themselves from these lunatics is unconstitutional. Hussein Obama: follow the constitution for a change!

I have a problem with your references to the Inuit and other Native tribes as being the ones who were opposed to homosexuality and same sex marriage. Homophobia didn't hit most indigenous cultures until colonialism began, and even now homophobia is not something that sticks out in my mind as being a large problem within these cultures. Before colonialism homosexuals and transgender folks actually had positions of great respect in many tribes. Secondly, it was the conservative christians that opposed same sex marriage in Canada, not the Inuit.

The FringeNYC Festival Presents "Hadrian's Wall"
I have been very fortunate to visit many of the world's magnificent ancient sites — from the balanced rock display of England's Avebury, to the classical Parthenon in Athens. Now 'fess up folks…while surrounded by massive ruins, you can't help but think about owning your own tiny piece of history. A teeny little rock from Rome's massive Coliseum would never be missed, right? Luckily, our conscience intervenes…or not!
"Hadrian's Wall", an intelligent, thought provoking play by Dani Vetere, ably directed by Stephen Cedars, takes this basic premise to a whole new level while unearthing (no pun intended) a labyrinth of issues. As the tagline for "Hadrian's Wall" teasingly informs us, "If you dig for a living, you're bound to have some buried secrets."
Why would a young, brilliant female anthropologist, en route to a ground breaking career (again, no pun intended), steal an invaluable artifact from Scotland's Hadrian's Wall while on a scholarly excavation? Or did she? Why would she then spend the next 15 years as a recluse in her Village apartment while accused of this crime? Why does she contribute so little to her defense? Why is her now married ex-lover not only her lawyer, but her only contact with the outside world? What transformed her into such a misanthrope residing in the "minutia of a very small kingdom?" With no telephone, computer, TV…not a sign of the techno world we all inhabit…well, hell, what has she been doing for the past 15 years? I doubt a flippant response such as "taking a lot of showers" is the correct answer. Why does she keep a dinosaur head as one of her few possessions? Who exactly is the dinosaur here? Will anything…or anyone…draw her out of her self-created cave?
But ultimately the question that applies, in a quite unexpected context, has a double meaning. And so it is unknowingly repeated twice by two different characters. Are there really "more reasons to leave then stay"? These questions, and much more, make for an exceptionally thinking, perplexing drama, full of rapid dialogue, intellectual discourse, and some very clever chatter. I never thought the world of academia could be so suspenseful, and at times, quite funny. But take heed, there is important scholarship at stake in the context of this drama, and more often then not, especially in the study of the ancient world, there are more questions then answers. The past is always with us, and does not always contribute to a bright future. The author chose some perfect metaphors in which to explore some interesting modern dilemmas. Sometimes there are solutions to problems…sometimes not.
This is an extremely well drawn, carefully crafted three character story with stellar performances from all three cast members. The plot is rich with possibilities while the action is contained in the dazzling dialogue delivered by these talented actors. It is obvious that the writer, Dani Vetere, and the director, Stephen Cedars, have worked well together. You quickly realize this is a well coordinated balancing act, all three character parts must create the whole, and their hard work is apparent on stage.
The central character, Ramona, is knowingly portrayed by Laura Siner with spot on delivery. She is a smug bundle of nerves, and we soon learn she's got some damn good reasons for some anxious angst. Her lawyer and former lover, David, played by Eric Rolland seems to be her lifeline to the world she deliberately elected to leave. Now here in lies the rub…when a young graduate student (Amy) played by Rebecca White delivers some library books to Ramona's apartment, you know the moment she walks in the plot takes a twist, and there may very well be some "love among the ruins." Ok, this time, pun definitely intended! And now a whole new set of questions are posed.
It's quite refreshing to experience a good story in which the action is advanced with compelling dialogue. You hang on every line. I urge you to catch this intriguingly smart drama, and to also check out the other plays, many running downtown, contributing to this year's FringeNYC festival. Go to the FringeNYC website for more information. The festival runs until August 26th. The bar is set quite high for a play to be included in this festival, such stringent standards for entry; the prices are minimalist, and the talent both on and behind the stage just superlative. It's a win/win/win.
WHAT: "Hadrian's Wall" by Dani Vetere WHERE: Connelly Theater, 220 East 4th Street, NYC WHEN: August 13th @ 7PM; August 16th @ 5:15PM; August 19th @8:30PM TICKETS: $15 and $18 at the door

Burg JS and Espenshade PJ (2011) Regulation of HMG-CoA reductase in mammals and yeast. Prog Lipid Res 50(4):403-10
Abstract: HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR), a highly conserved, membrane-bound enzyme, catalyzes a rate-limiting step in sterol and isoprenoid biosynthesis and is the primary target of hypocholesterolemic drug therapy. HMGR activity is tightly regulated to ensure maintenance of lipid homeostasis, disruption of which is a major cause of human morbidity and mortality. HMGR regulation takes place at the levels of transcription, translation, post-translational modification and degradation. In this review, we discuss regulation of mammalian, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe HMGR and highlight recent advances in the field. We find that the general features of HMGR regulation, including a requirement for the HMGR-binding protein Insig, are remarkably conserved between mammals and ascomycetous fungi, including S. cerevisiae and S. pombe. However the specific details by which this regulation occurs differ in surprising ways, revealing the broad evolutionary themes underlying both HMGR regulation and Insig function.

What's it mean to make it green?
Friday, May 29th, 2009I'm intrigued by Yahoo!'s Make-It-Green site. The idea is this: submit your best eco-friendly idea for the chance to win $2,500 and an opportunity to see your idea turned into a product available at a retailer near you. Viewers can vote for their favorite ideas, but the final winner will be picked by Edison Nation, a company that helps independent inventors bring their products to market.
Neat idea. It's brings social networking and DIY culture together, then gives it an entrepreneurial twist.
I can't help thinking about Make-It-Green in terms of The Natural Step training I attended last week—I'm starting to think about it with everything I do. Natural Step sets forth four principles for a sustainable society:
1. Eliminate our contribution to the progressive buildup of substances extracted from the Earth's crust
2. Eliminate our contribution to the progressive buildup of chemicals and compounds produced by society
3. Eliminate our contribution to the progressive physical degradation and destruction of nature and natural processes
4. Eliminate our contribution to conditions that undermine people's capacity to meet their basic human needs
I know. Pretty serious-sounding stuff. I am still trying to grok it myself.
Basically, what it means is that in doing what we do every day, are we taking too much stuff out of the earth? Are we putting natural substances together in toxic ways? Are we changing the natural formation of our planet in harmful ways? Are we making life harder for other people?
In my own life, I can look at small actions through the lens of these principles and see room for improvement. Let's take making a cup of coffee.
On the surface, it doesn't seem like coffee has anything to do with extracting materials from the earth's crust. Then again, an awful lot of fossil fuels get used in fertilizers and pesticides, not to mention transporting coffee beans across the planet to my neighborhood grocery store. That's just principle number one! When you consider principles two through four—the impact of farming coffee on the habitat, the people who grow and harvest the beans, the plastics and other synthetic compounds used to package the coffee, the water I use to brew my java, to my choice of drinking vessel—I start to see a whole lot more than just a tasty cup of joe. It's a tangled net of choices.
Here's where I get back to Yahoo!, or any company that is trying to make it green. The challenge is to not just to be less bad by being more green, but move toward sustainability by working to untangle the net, and make good choices at every knot.
I see an opportunity for Yahoo! and their partner Edison Network. Can they ensure the winning product is brought to market by manufacturers, distributors and retailers who will do it in a sustainable way? Can they truly make it green?

California Community College Chancellor Brice Harris has rejected a legal complaint challenging the authority of local academic senates.
The challenge by California Competes, an Oakland-based nonprofit organization, alleged that two sections of Title 5 of the Education Code violate state law because they allow local trustees to rely on the judgment of the faculty when making decisions about academic issues. California Competes' complaint also said the regulation has led to "a tangled bureaucracy" and dysfunctional decision making at community colleges, and disenfranchises other members of the college community such as students and staff.
In an official response to the attorney for California Competes, Harris wrote that after carefully reviewing the complaint with the community college attorney, "I have concluded that the regulations are not unlawful. Furthermore, California Competes' positions regarding public policy, although well-meaning, are seriously flawed."
Harris wrote that "shared governance is good public policy," and said the regulations have been in place for more than 20 years and have been working well in the "overwhelming majority" of community college districts. California Competes has not yet seen the chancellor's response and withheld comment.
